Ceramic coating is a product applied to your car to make it easier to wash, keep it cleaner longer, and protect it from UV fading and chemical damage. It might make the paint harder, and it can even hide some minor imperfections.


But that said, some shops out there will offer you the moon—and deliver something far less appealing. Here’s how to spot a ceramic coating scam.


· Fear-based selling, such as listing your vehicle’s paint defects (Instead, look for a shop that respects your vehicle.)

· Focus on hardness (Instead, listen for realistic expectations of CC benefits.)


· Suggesting ceramic coating prevents rock chips (Instead, if you want paint protection, choose paint protection film not ceramic coating.)


· Sells you multiple layers of coating, which is a clue they are using old technology (Instead, look for a shop that uses the newest one-step application.)

· Quick installation, such as half day or same-day service (Instead, work with a shop that will work on your vehicle for 2 to 3 days.)


· Warranty “strings,” such as requiring you to come back for yearly inspections to maintain the warranty (Instead, find a shop with a no-strings attached warranty.)


· Super high or super low pricing (Instead, look for just-right pricing, Goldilocks!)


If you follow these tips, you’ll set yourself up for success in finding a reputable shop, and your vehicle will look cleaner than 95 percent of other vehicles on the road.
