No, however, a ceramic coating is an amazing sacrificial layer that can take more abuse than factory paint and clear coat. Yes, it is a hard-wearing surface that has amazing release properties. This will help reduce swirls and marring of the surface. This also adds to the depth of your factory paint system, and this will keep your factory clear coat at the same depth for years to come! (We do not perform machine polishing in our detail department.)
No, you will still need to wash your car. The more we maintain the ceramic coating with regular washes, the less contaminations will embed into and clog up the ceramic coating performance. A ceramic coating does need to be washed because this coating will ensure that the vehicle stays cleaner longer, is easier to maintain, and you don’t have to deal with all of the extra maintenance like waxing, polishing, and worrying about harsh elements your vehicle faces day in and day out. A Ceramic Coating creates a permanent or semi-permanent bond with a vehicle’s paint, meaning that it does not wash away or break down and does not require repeated application every few months like a typical wax product.
