What are Ceramic Coatings?

Ceramic coatings utilize nanotechnology, forming a fine, thin layer utterly invisible to the eye. When applied to a finish, these tiny particles seal all the pores, making them water-repellent. It also makes the finish resistant to UV, scratches, chemicals, extreme heat, and graffiti.

The ceramic layer acts as a transparent shield of protection for your vehicle’s paint.
