-
How long does ceramic coating last?With proper maintenance, our XPEL Ceramic Coating can last anywhere from 1 to 8 years or longer, depending on factors like environmental exposure and care. Unlike traditional wax, which needs frequent reapplication, ceramic coating provides durable protection that doesn’t wash off.
-
Can ceramic coating be applied to boats or motorcycles?Yes, we offer specialized ceramic coating packages for boats and motorcycles. Our marine-grade coating protects boats from saltwater, algae buildup, and UV damage, while our motorcycle coating shields against road debris, dirt, and weather, making maintenance easier.
-
What areas of my vehicle can be coated?Ceramic coating can be applied to almost any part of your vehicle, including exterior paint, glass, wheels, trim, fabric, and leather. We offer different packages that target specific areas for a customized level of protection.
-
Is ceramic coating suitable for all types of vehicles?Absolutely! Ceramic coating can be applied to cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and boats. We tailor our approach to suit each type of vehicle, ensuring optimal protection and appearance.
-
How does ceramic coating compare to waxing?Ceramic coating bonds with the vehicle’s paint on a molecular level, providing a hard, durable layer that resists wear and tear. In contrast, wax sits on top of the paint and wears off over time, requiring frequent reapplication. Ceramic coating also offers superior gloss and UV protection.
-
Will ceramic coating prevent scratches?Ceramic coating provides a strong, protective layer that resists minor scratches and swirl marks but is not completely scratch-proof. For enhanced protection, especially against rock chips, we recommend combining it with our Paint Protection Film (PPF) for maximum durability.
-
How long does the ceramic coating process take?The process typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the condition of the vehicle and the areas being coated. This includes the time needed for paint correction (if required), surface preparation, coating application, and curing to ensure the best results.
-
Can ceramic coating be removed?Yes, ceramic coating can be removed through a polishing or paint correction process if necessary. This is usually only needed if reapplication is desired or if the coating becomes damaged in some way.
-
Is paint correction necessary before ceramic coating?While not always mandatory, we highly recommend paint correction to remove imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation before applying ceramic coating. A smooth, flawless surface allows the coating to bond more effectively, resulting in a perfect finish.
-
Does glass coating improve visibility?Yes, our glass coating creates a hydrophobic layer on your windshield and windows that repels water, dust, and grime. This results in clearer visibility during rain and poor weather conditions, improving safety and reducing the need for wipers.
-
Will ceramic coating make my car look shiny?Absolutely! Ceramic coating enhances the depth and clarity of your vehicle’s paint, providing a mirror-like gloss that looks impressive. This added shine helps your car stand out and retains that “new car” look for years.
-
What kind of maintenance does ceramic coating require?After ceramic coating, regular washing with a pH-neutral soap is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners and automatic car washes with brushes, as they can damage the coating. We’ll provide you with aftercare instructions for the best maintenance routine. Depending on which tier of ceramic coating you purchase, there will be an annual maintenance service that will need to be performed to maintain the coating as well as the warranty.
-
Can ceramic coating be applied over existing PPF?Yes, ceramic coating can be applied over Paint Protection Film to add an additional layer of protection and enhance the glossy finish. This combination is especially popular for those looking to maximize durability and ease of cleaning.
-
Does ceramic coating protect against UV rays?Yes, ceramic coating includes UV inhibitors that protect your paint from sun damage. This is particularly beneficial in preventing paint fading and oxidation, keeping your car’s color vibrant and fresh for years.
-
Is ceramic coating effective in Calgary’s winters?Yes, ceramic coating is highly effective in Calgary’s winter conditions. It provides a strong shield against salt, snow, and grime, preventing contaminants from bonding to the surface. This makes cleaning much easier, even during harsh winter months.
XPEL Stealth
For a unique, satin finish that preserves your vehicle’s original matte paint or transforms glossy paint into a sleek, low-sheen look, XPEL Stealth is the perfect choice. While delivering the same level of protection as Ultimate Plus, Stealth offers a distinctive aesthetic and self-healing properties. This option is popular among luxury car owners and enthusiasts seeking a bold, modern appearance.
