We wanted to share answers to questions we get all the time at Supreme Finish regarding ceramic coatings. If you are considering getting a ceramic coating, keep reading to learn more!
Q: What is a ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid that hardens on your vehicles paint. Think of it as an additional layer of clear coat with added benefits like hydrophobia and gloss.
At Supreme Finish we install a State-of-the-Art ceramic coating from world renowned manufacturer System-X. This coating is proven to provide the highest levels of gloss and protection available.
Q: Will it stop scratches or rock chips?
Yes. It makes salt stick less and wash off easier. We find that many drivers in Raleigh don’t understand the benefit of ceramic coating until their car starts showing signs of rust from road salt. Our recommendation, is don’t wait on ceramic coating. The sooner the better!
Q: Does it help with winter salt and rust?
No. It may cut down light swirl marks from washing. For rock chips you need paint protection film, which we offer here at Supreme Finish.
Paint protection film is very popular with drivers of performance vehicle or those who drive above average mileage.
