Now lets answer the burning question:
Why are Ceramic Coatings So Expensive?
Well there are 3 reasons:
First and foremost, Ceramic Coating application takes TIME. The Average Ceramic Coating Installation takes about 10 Hours… Crazy Right?
Automotive Ceramic Coatings are the hardest, most durable, and advanced form of Paint Protection that exists! We’re talking YEARS of protection… not months!
And finally, in order to Install Ceramic Coatings properly we put ourselves through some serious training. In fact, we spent about 90 days going through the most reputable online Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating training there is! Not to mention all of the practice that followed… So at the end of the day, we are also charging for our expertise! (And we think we’re pretty good!) : )
What Is A Ceramic Coating?
Because we are Detailers, we’re tempted to get into the nitty gritty of what a Ceramic Coating is, why it’s the 9th wonder of our Nampa Auto Detailing business, but we don’t want to bore you! A Ceramic Coating is like a thick winter coat you put on your kids before they go sledding! It’s a hyper durable, and extremely hard layer of Silicon Dioxide (glass) that cures to the exterior of your vehicle’s paint, glass, and other surfaces. Not only do Ceramic Coatings give a rich, glossy appearance to the car paint that is absolutely unmatched, but a Nano Ceramic Coating is designed to last somewhere between 3 and 7+ Years depending on the coating you choose. Ceramic Coatings have 2 jobs:
Long-Term Paint Protection
Beautiful Gloss & Shine (and we mean BEAUTIFUL)
How Does A Ceramic Coating Work?
After the Ceramic Coating is applied to the paint, it is as if your vehicle has an extra layer of ultra durable, scratch resistant, and hydrophobic skin. Ceramics are designed to protect against everything that touches the paint from the outside world: bird droppings, bugs, rain, pollen, surface scratches, and much more! While normal Auto Detailing services can help clean and protect the paint temporarily, Ceramic Coatings form a sort of shield that protects your investment until the day it’s traded in. Which means more money in your pocket!
Washing and maintaining your car is inconvenient and tiresome… So after we spend $50,000 on a vehicle we slowly watch it degrade more and more over time because we just don’t want to keep up with it. We think it’s crazy to pay thousands of dollars for a car, drive it unprotected, and trade it in for pennies years later.
After the paint has been completely cleaned, decontaminated, and we’ve created a smooth surface through Paint Correction, a thin layer of the liquid Ceramic Coating is applied to the paint, left to cure, then carefully buffed off until all that remains is a thin ceramic layer that is left for 24 hours to cure. It’s that simple!
