Lies About Ceramic Coatings

Lies & Misleading Concepts About Ceramic Coatings.
Ceramic Coating;
does not protect your vehicle's paint from scratches or swirls.
does not protect your vehicle from paint chips, dents or dings.
does not fill in, fix or remove any type of scratch, swirl or paint chip.
is not chemical proof but it is chemical resistant to an extent. Some chemicals will trip the coating off in the first use. Some chemicals used over time will slowly strip the coating off and some chemicals are completely safe for ceramic coated surfaces.
does not eliminate the need to wash your car on a regular basis.
is not fireproof lol or even fire resistant. Infact, prolonged exposure to heat "sunlight" can slowly (over a few years) deteriorate a ceramic coating without proper routine maintenance. (Tip) use a ceramic detail spray every time you wash your vehicle! Here is a perfect product for the job "Boost Multi-Use Sealant".
is not permanent: There is no such thing as a lifetime coating. Thats a flat out lie. (Ceramic Coatings last 2-5 years with proper maintenance. This also depends on the ceramic product itself and whether or not it's a single or double coat of ceramic on the vehicles painted surface. A ceramic coating with proper routine maintenance will last longer.

Things To Consider When Maintaining a Ceramic Coated Vehicle
Whether your car has a ceramic coating or not, it is important to regularly maintain and properly clean your vehicle using specific products for specific things. Just because a vehicle has a ceramic coating does not mean you no longer need to wash your car. Just hosing it off is not good enough.
When using specific products for specific things like removing light water spots or bugs, it's important to know which products are safe for ceramic coatings and which products are not. This is better left in the hands of a professional to prevent permanent damage to your ceramic coating and other parts of your vehicle such as aluminum trim, shiny painted plastics etc.
