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.

This is the second vehicle we’ve taken to Carisma Customs. We brought our vehicle in to have ceramic coating, detailing, and paint chip repair work done. Chad was a great person to work with and I enjoyed his no BS attitude of telling us what he’s seen work for our style of vehicle and what he recommended. He gave us all the options and never pushed for the most expensive package just to make money. It’s clear that Chad cares about the quality of work his team provides as well as a great customer experience. We certainly had both and couldn’t be happier. The finished product definitely had the wow factor we were looking for. We’ll be recommending them to others and bringing our future cars here too!

In Dec 2023 I had my 2024 GMC Denali HD Ultimate ceramic coated (and windows tinted) by Carisma. I was skeptical because I had previously bought my daughter a new Acura RDX for her birthday and had the Acura dealer 'ceramic coat' it. I couldn't tell a difference between that and a regular finish. Total waste of money. I took my new truck straight from the dealer to Carisma. I've now had my truck ceramic coated for 1 year (a REAL ceramic coat) and I can say I will never NOT have another vehicle ceramic coated at Carisma. It's awesome. Previous trucks I washed and waxed once a week year-round (I have a heated garage). The ceramic coating is far far superior to even a fresh (weekly) wax finish. When I get home now after driving in the rain or even salty slushy roads, I gently run a stream (not a spray) of water over the truck and let the water sheet down the sides. Everything glides right off even the water. Its actually a little hard to believe until you see it for yourself. My truck is clean literally every time I drive it with just a few minutes to sheet water off of it after every rainy or snowy drive. I still wash my truck almost every week but not having to wax saves me an hour every time. That's 50 hours a year saved (time is money) I also don't need a towel to dry the truck. I wash it, then sheet the water off with an open ended hose and then use a leaf blower to blow any remnant drops of water off the truck. With the ceramic coating water glides right off. Its THE best money I ever spent on a vehicle. Worth every penny. If you have a nice vehicle get a REAL ceramic coat from Carisma. You won't regret it.

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.
