NEVER WAX AGAIN WITH OUR ELITE COATINGS
PORTLAND MAINE’S PREMIER CERAMIC COATING INSTALLER
WHAT IS CERAMIC COATING?
Car enthusiasts have described ceramic coating as a viable alternative to waxing. It protects your car's exterior from dirt, grime, and stains keeping the vehicle's paint clear. It offers a better alternative to waxing and polishing, which do not provide lasting solutions.
A ceramic coating is a type of chemical that is applied to your vehicle to protect its paint. It is applied manually to your vehicle's exterior and creates a durable coating. Its nanoscopic nature allows it to bond with the car's paint quickly and creates a hard protective layer over it.
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer made from silicon dioxide in natural materials such as sand and quartz. The chemicals create a bond with the paint and make a protective layer with hydrophobic properties. Some brands also contain titanium dioxide that offers extra protection to your vehicle's paint.
After washing your vehicle, the ceramic coatings at Prestige Tint and Detail are applied. Before applying the coating, you should ensure your car is free from contaminants such as dirt, tree sap, and oil films. Contaminants will prevent the coating from bonding properly with your car's paint.
CERAMIC COATING VS. PAINT PROTECTION FILM
Ceramic coatings and paint protection films both serve a similar purpose. They protect and preserve your vehicle's paint and make your car look brand new for a very long time. They protect against external threats and add value to your automobile. They only differ in how they perform their functions and the level of protection they offer.
A paint protection film or clear bra is a transparent urethane material applied to the exterior surface of your vehicle. It is thicker and has a more potent chemical composition than ceramic coatings. It can effectively shield against minor scratches, swirl marks, rock chips, and hard water spots. It can return to its original form even after abrasion or indentation occurs.
Ceramic coatings cannot offer the same level of protection as paint protection films. They, however, have an advantage over the films when it comes to their hydrophobic abilities. They are more resistant to water than paint protection films.
DIFFERENT DEGREES OF PROTECTION
Instead of painstakingly waxing your vehicle weekly at home in your spare time, why not implement a more long-term solution to achieve a constant new car gloss? With hydrophobic qualities that resist rainwater stains and are resistant to both impact and environmental damage, Prestige Tint and Detail’s ceramic coating packages are integral to aiding in the protection of your vehicle’s finish against what you as the driver cannot control.
The different levels of ceramic coating offered by Prestige Tint and Detail are separated by the length of their efficacy. Shorter term ceramic coatings that last one to three years are affordable, lighter duty protective shells that still protect your finish. The longer term ceramic coatings that last one to eight years provide heartier protection against harsh impact damage, chemicals, and environmental factors like UV rays.
Above all else, any one of our specialty ceramic coating packages is sure to help your vehicle retain its brand new shine without you having to obsessively wax and polish it yourself!

DEFINING ‘CERAMIC COATING’
The protective nature of ceramic coatings are engineered to seal the paint, giving it a long-term gloss while protecting it against everything including water spotting, chemicals, UV rays, and damaging environmental factors.
In doing so, your body is resistant to corrosion while allowing your vehicle to stay cleaner for longer periods of time. Additionally, ceramic coatings have proven to be cost-effective due to their minimal maintenance needs.
If not for those reasons, why else should you consider hiring Prestige Tint and Detail to apply a ceramic coating to your vehicle?
WHY GET A CERAMIC COATING?
Getting a ceramic coating for your vehicle in Portland is ideal for several reasons. The ceramic coating services at Prestige Tint and Detail will help to;
Protect From Light Scratches
Ceramic coating adds a thin layer that protects your vehicle's paint from light scratches from brake dust, mud, or dirt. It can minimize the scratches caused by more significant objects but cannot offer total protection against them. You will still find scratch marks on your vehicle even with a ceramic coating, but they will be smaller compared to having no protection at all.
Protect From UV Rays
Exposing your car to the sun's ultraviolet rays will make the paint fade and cause cracks on the surface. The ceramic coating acts as a shield against harmful rays and protects your car's exterior. It repels the UV rays and prolongs the lifespan of your car's paint.
Protect From Dirt and Grime
Dirt, dust, mud, road grime, and other substances can harm your vehicle if left unwashed. Bug guts and bird droppings contain uric acid and other enzymes that can dissolve into your vehicle's exterior and cause corrosion. These substances cause damage to your car that is too costly to repair. The ceramic coating protects your vehicle from such contaminants and prevents any damage to the paint.
Keep Your Car Dry
Water has calcium and other minerals that leave spots on your vehicle's exterior. The hydrophobic nature of ceramic coating allows it to repel water molecules and prevent water spots on the surface of your car. The coating lets water slide off your vehicle's surface whenever you come into contact with it. It keeps your vehicle dry and saves you the energy spent on wiping it every time. Ceramic coating services at Prestige Tint and Detail will provide your vehicle with long-term resistance against etching, corrosion, and staining. Ceramic coating helps to maintain gloss and preserve your automobile's original paint. It will protect your car and increase its resale value, making it a worthy investment.
HOW LONG DOES CERAMIC COATING LAST?
Most auto detailers and car enthusiasts suggest that ceramic coatings form permanent bonds that last forever. The truth is that a ceramic coating can only give you two to five years of protection. There are ways through which you can extend the lifespan of a ceramic coating, such as;
- Washing your car regularly.
- Giving the coating enough time to cure, which is at least two weeks.
- Visiting an auto detailing shop regularly.
To ensure your vehicle is in good shape, you should visit Prestige Tint and Detail, the no. 1 auto detailing shop in Portland.
