👑 Ceramic Coating 18 Months Later… Still Going Strong 👑
This car was coated back in February 2024 with a single-layer 3-year coating (no topcoat). For the last 8 months it’s only been washed twice. I performed a maintenance wash to decon the coating and bring the hydrophobics back.
Here’s what I’ve thrown at it in that time:😎
🦟Bugs and 🐦 bird droppings sat on the paint — they washed right off, no etching. 🔥
Brake dust, water spots, and even tar came off with no damage.
The gloss never left. Even dirty, it still looked wet.
Hydrophobics came right back after the maintenance was performed. 💪
A lot of people think when water stops beading, the coating has failed. That’s not true. Hydrophobics fade from contamination, neglect, or using the wrong products especially if your installer never educated you on how to care for it. The protection is still there doing its job.
The whole point of a ceramic coating is long-term paint protection from UV, oxidation, etching, making cleanup easier. The slickness, gloss, and hydrophobics are just the bonuses.
💎 At the end of the day, you’ve already invested in your car. A ceramic coating is simply a smart way to protect that investment and keep it looking its best for years to come.
