MELBOURNE DRIVERS, YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW CERAMIC COATING WORKS
When ceramic coating is applied to your car’s body, it forms a durable polymer through chemical bonding with the factory paint’s clear coat. Once fully cured after approximately 7 to 14 days (depending on weather and temperature), the ceramic coating fills all the damaged clear coat valleys and crevices. It then forms an extra layer of protection on the clear coat. Besides protection, ceramic coating will create a perfectly flat surface & will deflect perfect light. This is the main reason ceramic-coated vehicles look glossier, increasing paint depth (especially on black and dark-colored cars) and better paint clarity (mostly visible on pearlescent and metallic paint).
This protective layer is chemical resistant and can only be removed by abrasion. Most ceramic coatings are chemical resistant between pH 2 to pH 12. Hence it is inaccurate that only pH-neutral shampoos should be used for washes. The slickness and hydrophobicity of the ceramic coating surface keep your vehicle cleaner and make maintenance washes easier as hard dirt would not adhere easily.Does ceramic coating protect the vehicle’s paint from ‘Stone Chips, ‘Deep Scratches’? Does it have self-healing features?
To debunk a misconception, ceramic coatings do not act as a ‘halo’ to protect your vehicle from stone chips and scratches. Because ceramic coating crystallizes on the clear coat, it is not a flexible surface and DO NOT have self-healing features.
What is the hype about surface hydrophobicity in car detailing and ceramic coating?
With a slick surface & tighter surface tension, liquid & water find it hard to adhere to the paint surface. This makes the car less susceptible to dirt clinging to the vehicle’s surface. Even tougher dirt such as tree sap, bird droppings, bat droppings or mud would not cling firmly onto the paint surface. This makes maintenance washes much easier.How to maintain ceramic coated vehicles?
With a weekly no-contact Foam-On and Rinse-Off method and a fortnightly thorough wash including contact washing using a wash mitt, this would keep the surface of your ceramic-coated vehicle well-maintained and the hydrophobic features at its optimum condition.Do ceramic-coated vehicles require special maintenance?
Absolutely! We recommend a decontamination wash every 3 to 6 months to cleanse & revive the surface.
At Detail X, we offer chemical decontamination washes followed by a ceramic coat booster to revive the surface.

CERAMIC COATING FEATURES
Chemical Resistance
Ceramic coating, known as the most popular car paint protection project in the car beauty industry, offers exceptional resistance to chemical substances. In daily vehicle use, the primary culprits behind paint surface aging and loss of shine include the sun’s ultraviolet rays, acidic substances in rainwater, and corrosive bird droppings. These elements can swiftly penetrate the varnish layer of colored paint, leading to irreparable surface damage. The hardness and density of ceramic coating are significantly superior to that of varnish, effectively preventing chemical penetration. This invisible shield provides long-term protection for car paint, making ceramic car coating a top choice for enthusiasts seeking the best ceramic coating solutions in Melbourne and nearby areas.
Compared to the varnish layer, cars treated with a ceramic coating feature a crystal-clear, denser layer with fewer pores. This characteristic enhances water repellency, allowing water to effortlessly slide off the car’s surface during washing or rain showers. This property significantly mitigates the effects of acidic substances in rain and prevents stains from adhering to the car’s surface. Cleaning becomes easier as well, requiring less effort to wipe off dirt, thereby reducing the risk of scratches and swirl marks. After undergoing ceramic coating, drying your car after washing becomes unnecessary, and maintaining a pristine appearance requires less frequent wiping of the car body.
Paint Gloss Enhancement
The crystal-plated layer of ceramic coating thickens the factory paint’s varnish layer, enhancing gloss by 20% to 30%. Compared to waxing or sealants, ceramic coating offers superior durability. Proper construction processes and steps can extend the crystal plating’s effectiveness, lasting several years. With correct maintenance, including periodic visits to a ceramic coating specialist in Melbourne, the continuity of ceramic coating’s crystal plating is ensured.
