How do you tell if a car has been ceramic coated?

If you want to know if a car has a ceramic coating, take the car for a drive.

In the absence of ceramic coating, the drops of water will cling to the car’s surface.

Is ceramic better than wax?

Ceramic protectants (coatings) provide a much higher durability than wax. They resist heat, UV rays, environmental contaminants & harsh detergents much better than wax. Wax on the other hand simply sits on top of the paint’s surface. It does not create the chemical bond like we find with ceramic coatings.

Can ceramic coating be done in 1 day?

Depending on the existing condition of your paintwork, all of this can take several days’ time. After that, the application of the coat takes just a few hours – but then we need to keep it indoors in an environmentally controlled space for 24 hours to allow it to cure properly.

Should I wax my car before applying ceramic coating?

While this is great for removing old layers of wax, it shortens rather than extends the life of your paint sealant. You should always polish your car before applying a ceramic coating, like Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Wax, to avoid wearing away that fresh layer of protection.
