Unpacking Ceramic Coatings: What “People Also Ask” (and We Answer!)

Immaculate Paint Protection helps new car owners protect their “future classic” cars, so they look awesome and stay looking new for years to come.

Want to know what people are really thinking about ceramic coating? Google something (let’s say “ceramic coating”). Under your search results, you’ll see a box that says “People Also Ask.” These are real search questions that potential buyers are looking for.

Here’s what we discovered people are asking Google about ceramic coating, and our honest answers:

1. Is ceramic coating good for your car?

Yes, and it’s also good for you! Ceramic coating makes your car incredibly shiny and significantly easier to clean. It creates a hydrophobic surface that repels dirt and water, meaning you spend less time washing and more time driving.

2. Do I need to put a ceramic coating on top of Paint Protection Film?

No, it’s not obligatory. In fact, many modern Paint Protection Films (like SunTek Reaction) come with a ceramic coating already built into the top layer.

However, many people choose to install ceramic coating on the parts of their vehicle that aren’t protected by film (like the rest of the paint, glass, and wheels) to ensure the whole car creates that “easy to clean” effect.

3. Which is better to stop rock chips: PPF or Ceramic Coating?

This is the most common misconception. ONLY Paint Protection Film stops rock chips.

Ceramic coating is a liquid laminate; it offers zero protection against impact damage from stones or road debris. Think of PPF as a “screen protector” and Ceramic Coating as “fancy wax on steroids.”

4. How long do your services take?

A professional ceramic coating installation is not a “quick wash.” It typically takes a few days to complete because we follow a strict, proven process:

1. Decontamination Wash: We use a multi-step chemical process to remove iron and road tar.
2. Paint Correction: We machine polish the paint to remove swirls and scratches.
3. Prep Wipe: We wash the vehicle again to remove polishing oils, making the surface “surgically” clean.
4. Application: We apply the ceramic coating by hand.
5. Curing: We securely store your vehicle inside for 24 hours to allow the coating to bond and dry.
6. Final Inspection: We check every inch before handing you the keys.

5. How much does it cost?

Pricing varies based on the size of the vehicle and the level of protection you choose. We believe in transparent, universal pricing.
