1. What is ceramic coating?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to a vehicle's exterior to provide a protective layer. It bonds with the paint to create a long-lasting shield against dirt, water, UV rays, and other environmental contaminants, while enhancing the car's gloss and shine.

 

2. How long does ceramic coating last?

The lifespan of a ceramic coating can range from 1 to 5 years depending on the type of coating and maintenance. At Thompson's Touch, we offer coatings that last anywhere from 1-2 years to up to 5 years, depending on your needs and budget.

 

3. Is ceramic coating better than wax or sealants?

Yes, ceramic coatings offer much longer-lasting protection compared to traditional wax or sealants. Unlike wax that may last only a few months, ceramic coatings bond to the paint and provide extended protection, enhanced shine, and are more resistant to chemicals, UV rays, and dirt.

 

4. Does ceramic coating protect against scratches?

While ceramic coatings offer some protection against light scratches and swirl marks, they are not scratch-proof. They can help minimize the damage from minor abrasions, but they won't prevent all forms of physical damage.

 

5. Will ceramic coating make my car maintenance-free?

Ceramic coating does make maintenance easier by repelling water, dirt, and grime, but it doesn’t make your car maintenance-free. You will still need to wash your car, but you’ll notice it stays cleaner for longer and is much easier to wash.

 

6. Can I apply ceramic coating myself?

While DIY ceramic coating kits are available, professional-grade ceramic coatings are more durable and offer better protection. Applying ceramic coating properly requires experience and preparation, so for the best results, it’s recommended to have it applied by professionals like Thompson’s Touch Mobile Detailing.

 

7. How should I care for my car after ceramic coating?

After your car is coated, avoid washing it for at least 7 days to allow the coating to fully cure. Regular hand washes using a pH-neutral soap and avoiding automatic car washes will help maintain the coating’s effectiveness. At Thompson’s Touch, we also offer maintenance services to keep your ceramic coating in top condition.

 

8. Is ceramic coating worth the investment?

Absolutely! Ceramic coating protects your vehicle’s paint from fading, oxidation, and environmental damage while providing a long-lasting, glossy finish. It saves time and money on regular waxing and helps preserve your car’s resale value.

 

9. Can ceramic coating be applied to all vehicle types?

Yes, ceramic coating can be applied to almost any vehicle, whether it’s a car, truck, SUV, or even a motorcycle. At Thompson’s Touch, we provide ceramic coating services tailored to all vehicle types, ensuring optimal protection and shine.

 

10. Does ceramic coating prevent water spots?

Ceramic coating creates a hydrophobic layer, meaning water will bead and slide off the surface, reducing the likelihood of water spots. However, it doesn't completely eliminate the possibility, as some minerals in water can still leave behind residue if not dried properly.
