#1 Ceramic Coating Formulas and Installation in Erie & Waterford, PA

When a vehicle owner invests in a ceramic coating from our installation team here at Keystone Detail, we have noticed that their primary reason is the exponential surface gloss that comes with it. However, that is only one piece to the paint protection puzzle. Ceramic coatings are hydrophobic, keeping stains away from your paint and lowering your maintenance routine drastically while also saving you money with no more need for excessive detailing products.

Over time, they do need to be replaced. Whether that be because they have sustained some type of damage or just due to the waning hydrophobic characteristics that become less effective as they reach the end of their life, we at Keystone Detail can safely remove your old coating and apply a new, fresh one to continue your paint protection.

There is a lot of talk about ‘nanoparticles’ and ‘hydrophobic characteristics’ about ceramic coatings, but what exactly happens on a molecular level of a ceramic coating formula is simple. Small particles fill pre-existing gaps in your vehicle’s clear coat, which safely bonds with your finish and cures into a slick, glass-like coverage that essentially magnifies your paintwork in direct light acting like a very thin layer of glass over the entire painted surface of your vehicle.

Consistent maintenance is still required with a ceramic coating, although much less frequent than that of an unprotected vehicle. Ceramic coatings are susceptible to scratches and swirls by abrasive washing techniques, so it pays to have your car or truck detailed by our exterior detailing team when the time comes for a maintenance wash.
