What Is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a clear, liquid nanoceramic formula that bonds with your vehicle’s paint to form a permanent, glass-like shield. Once cured, it becomes a flexible but extremely durable protective layer that defends against environmental hazards, surface wear, and fading.
In Edmonton, vehicles face unique environmental challenges such as winter road salts, gravel, dust, and seasonal temperature fluctuations. Garage 104's ceramic coating services in Edmonton are designed to preserve the vehicle’s paint, reduce the frequency of cleaning, and maintain its appearance over time.
Why Choose Ceramic Pro?
Garage 104 proudly uses Ceramic Pro, one of the most advanced ceramic coating technologies on the market. Unlike traditional wax or sealants, Ceramic Pro creates a permanent bond that does not wash away or break down over time.
Key Benefits:
-
Extreme hardness – Rated above 9H, it’s significantly harder than a standard clear coat (typically 2H–4H). This helps prevent micro-scratches and damage from everyday wear.
-
UV & oxidation resistance – Blocks harmful UV rays, helping to prevent your paint from fading or aging.
-
Self-cleaning properties – Its hydrophobic surface repels water, dirt, bird droppings, bug splatter, and even graffiti paint—making maintenance effortless.
-
High gloss finish – The coating enhances the depth and clarity of your paint, giving it a vibrant, high-gloss finish.
How Long Does Ceramic Coating Last?
The longevity of ceramic coating depends on factors such as the type of product used, application quality, vehicle use, and maintenance practices. Typical ranges include:
-
Professional-grade coatings: Can last between 2 and 5 years, depending on environmental exposure and care.
-
Maintenance and environmental factors: Frequent exposure to road salts, gravel, or industrial contaminants may reduce lifespan.
-
Proper application: Surface preparation, including paint correction and decontamination, is essential to achieving full durability.
Garage 104 ensures a meticulous application process of ceramic coating in Edmonton to maximize the coating’s performance and durability. Our team also advises clients on how to maintain the coating for long-term protection.
Areas of a Vehicle Commonly Treated with Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating can be applied to all exterior painted surfaces, as well as additional components:
-
Hood and roof: High-exposure areas to sunlight and environmental debris.
-
Fenders and bumpers: Frequent contact with road debris and minor abrasions.
-
Doors and side panels: Areas prone to scratches from keys, branches, or car doors.
-
Mirrors and trims: Protects against weathering and fading.
-
Wheels and glass: Optional treatments improve resistance to brake dust and water spots.
Our team at Garage 104 ensures precise coverage and application, including edges, curves, and difficult-to-reach surfaces.
The Ceramic Coating Application Process at Garage 104
Applying ceramic coating is a detailed process that requires preparation and precision:
-
Surface preparation: Comprehensive washing, decontamination, and paint correction to remove imperfections and contaminants.
-
Panel-by-panel application: The coating is applied carefully to each surface, ensuring uniform coverage.
-
Curing process: After application, the coating is allowed to cure for a specified time, forming a durable chemical bond with the paint.
-
Final inspection: Each vehicle is inspected to verify consistent coverage, gloss, and protection.
Proper application is critical for durability, and Garage 104 follows a structured process to guarantee quality results.
Ceramic Coating Maintenance Guide
Maintaining a ceramic-coated vehicle involves specific practices to preserve protection and appearance:
-
Regular washing: Use pH-neutral soaps and soft microfibre mitts. Avoid abrasive brushes or harsh chemicals.
-
Avoid automatic car washes: High-pressure brushes can damage the coating. Hand washing is recommended.
-
Drying: Use microfibre towels to prevent water spots and streaks.
-
Periodic inspection: Check for surface contaminants, water spots, or minor wear. Address any issues promptly.
-
Top-up products: Use ceramic-specific maintenance sprays or sealants to extend hydrophobic properties and gloss.
We also provide professional window tinting services designed for all vehicle makes and models.
Factors Affecting Ceramic Coating Longevity
Several factors influence the performance and lifespan of ceramic coating:
-
Environmental exposure: Frequent driving in harsh climates, winter salt, or industrial pollution can accelerate wear.
-
Vehicle usage: Daily drivers may experience faster coating wear than garage-kept vehicles.
-
Maintenance practices: Regular, proper washing and protective upkeep extend the coating’s effectiveness.
-
Application quality: Thorough surface preparation and professional application maximize longevity.
Garage 104 provides guidance on these factors to ensure clients can maintain the coating effectively.
Choosing the Right Ceramic Coating Solution
Garage 104 advises clients on selecting coatings based on vehicle type, usage, and maintenance expectations:
-
Professional vs. DIY products: Professional-grade coatings offer longer durability and superior bonding compared to consumer kits.
-
Single vs. multi-layer coating: Additional layers increase protection and gloss but require proper maintenance.
-
Surface-specific considerations: Vehicles with high exposure areas or high-performance paint may benefit from tailored solutions.
We aim to provide recommendations that balance protection, appearance, and maintenance requirements for each vehicle.
