What is Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic coating is a semi-permanent nanoscopic paint treatment applied to your vehicle to protect against common damages like scratches, swirls, and UV exposure. The coating is applied in liquid form but cures to form a hard, turtle shell-like layer over your vehicle’s paint, plastics, and upholstery. Ceramic coatings are typically composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), often sourced from natural materials, including quartz and sand.

When the chemicals in the coating bond with your vehicle's paint, they create a hydrophobic effect that repels water and other common external factors while increasing the hardness of your clear coat. The result is easier washing and a lower amount of effort required to maintain that striking showroom shine.

Not sure if a ceramic coating is right for you? Give us a call and let us educate you on the proper ways to protect your vehicle's paint.

★★★★★ 1 year ago Sandra M.

Just had my 2022 Bronco clear-wrapped and ceramic coated. It looks like a brand-new truck! I suggest coming to Carisma Customs to make your vehicle protected and shine like new.

★★★★★ 11 months ago Scott S.

I took my car to Carisma Customs to fix a shoddy PPF job originally done by a shop more local to me. Carisma Customs knocked it out of the park. Their workmanship is top-notch, with great communication from start to finish. I would highly recommend them.

Ceramic Coating FAQs

Which ceramic coating package is right for me?

The right ceramic coating package for you will depend on your goals and level of investment you're willing to make. FUSION PLUS LITE is great for those on a lower budget who still want the added protection that a ceramic coating brings. If you're wanting to go all out and protect your ride for up to 8 years, FUSION PLUS PREMIUM is the way to go.

Is it worth spending money on ceramic coating?

Yes, investing in ceramic coating is worthwhile as it provides long-lasting protection for your vehicle's paint and exterior surfaces. The coating offers enhanced resistance to scratches, UV rays, and environmental contaminants not possible with traditional or ceramic wax. Ceramic coating is a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish that can prolong the lifespan and resale value of your car.

Is ceramic coating better than wax?

Ceramic coating far surpasses wax in durability and longevity. While wax offers a temporary shine and protection, ceramic coatings provide a more resilient shield against environmental elements, UV rays, and contaminants, ensuring a longer-lasting and low-maintenance solution for your vehicle's paint.

Ceramic Coating vs Paint Protective Film

Protecting your vehicle should not have to be so hard right? We know there are a lot of similar benefits between ceramic coatings and paint protection films, so here's the real difference between the two to help you decide which protection is best for your needs.
