Benefits Of Ceramic Coating

One of the most appealing aspects of driving a brand-new vehicle off the lot has to be its showroom shine—that blemish-free factory finish that sparkles in the sunlight, turns heads on the road, and makes you feel like a million bucks wherever you go. All too quickly, however, new vehicles can succumb to the realities of road life. Micro-scratches appear, dust and grime accumulate, and suddenly your ride looks tired and drab, blending in with all the rest of the traffic.

Like many vehicle owners, you might assume that the level of maintenance required to keep your vehicle's exterior in mint condition would be overwhelming or exhausting—but that doesn't have to be the case. With ceramic coating, you can make a one-time investment and for many years, enjoy the benefits of a gorgeously glossy and permanently protected autobody that will look and feel just like it did when it drove off the lot.

At Crystal Auto Styling Inc. in Winnipeg, we know how much your vehicle means to you, and we’re dedicated to professionally enhancing and protecting its "brand-new car shine" with industry-leading Jade Ceramics coating products and processes. Our Jade-certified installers take pride in giving every millimetre of your vehicle's finish the care and attention it deserves and are dedicated to achieving exceptional results every single time.

Below, we've provided an overview of the ceramic coating process and highlighted its many benefits for Winnipeg vehicle owners. To learn more about Crystal Auto Styling's exterior and interior ceramic coating services, contact our team directly!

What Is Ceramic Coating?

Also known as nano-ceramic coating or nano-coating, ceramic coating is a chemical polymer solution that is hand-applied to a vehicle in order to protect and enhance its exterior. By forming a chemical bond with the vehicle's factory paint job, it creates a hydrophobic layer that enhances gloss, makes for easy cleaning, resists stains, scratches and other damage, provides UV protection, and can even help regulate temperatures inside the vehicle.

A high-quality, professionally-applied ceramic coating can last for years without requiring reapplication. At Crystal Auto Styling, we also offer interior ceramic coating services to protect seats, dashboards, and side panels.

How Ceramic Coating Protects Your Vehicle's Paint

Ceramic coating creates an invisible, semi-permanent layer that protects your vehicle in the following ways:

  • Effectively Repels Water, Dirt, and Other Contaminants
    • Water and waterborne contaminants will bead up and slide off your vehicle's surface, ensuring that its sparkle isn't tainted by drizzly days, mud puddles, or any other wet and wild conditions.
  • Creates a Barrier Against Scratches and Environmental Damage
    • Drive securely with the knowledge that you won't have to worry about every little thing; you have a durable barrier between your vehicle's paint job and harsh environmental factors like gravel, snow brushes, and more.
  • Protects Against UV Rays
    • Prevent colours from fading and materials from degrading with UV protection against the sun's damaging rays.
  • Makes Your Vehicles Easier To Clean and Maintain
    • Tough stains and grime may try their best to dim your vehicle's shine, but with ceramic coating, you'll be able to restore that brand-new look in no time with a quick and simple spray-down.

Of course, ceramic coating also enhances your vehicle's appearance with a glossy finish that guarantees you'll ride in style and bring the wow factor every time you take it out on the road.

Winnipeg's Climate And Its Effect On Your Car

Winnipeg isn't called Winterpeg for nothing; we're one of the coldest cities on the planet. And with that dubious distinction come a whole host of conditions that have the potential to put your vehicle's exterior at risk. Extreme cold can cause paint to contract, leading to premature chipping, peeling, or cracking; harsh road salts can accelerate corrosion and propagate unsightly and structurally damaging rust formation; and ice and snow abrasion (not to mention the use of snow brushes and ice removal tools) can leave exterior paint scratched, pitted, or otherwise damaged.

And that's just the winter months! In summer, your Winnipeg vehicle has to contend with prolonged UV exposure, tar and grit on paved roads, and gravel and dirt on unpaved ones. Suffice it to say, that Winnipeg vehicle owners have their hands full dealing with challenging weather and road conditions in every season. Fortunately, ceramic coating can help keep your vehicle in pristine condition year-round.

Why Ceramic Coating Is Essential For Winnipeg Drivers

Why does our team at Crystal Auto Styling highly recommend that Winnipeg drivers consider investing in ceramic coating for their vehicles? Simply put, it makes maintenance easier, keeps your vehicle looking its best, and protects it for longer against the realities of a harsh environment.

At Crystal Auto Styling, all our ceramic coatings are developed and manufactured by Jade Ceramics, an industry leader known for durable, long-lasting coating solutions. Protect and enhance vehicle paint, glass, leather, fabric, and more with professionally applied ceramic coatings that will stand up to Winnipeg's worst.

Additional Benefits Of Ceramic Coating In Winnipeg

In addition to simplifying vehicle cleaning/maintenance and providing superior protection against water and contaminants, scratches, and UV radiation, ceramic coating can also offer certain other benefits that make it an ideal choice for Winnipeg drivers. These include:

  • Temperature Regulation
    • Ceramic coating adds a layer of insulation to your vehicle that can help it maintain a consistent temperature and stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This can help to reduce your reliance on heating/cooling systems and contribute to improved fuel efficiency in every season.
  • Repels Chemicals and Resists Corrosion
    • Ceramic coating can help protect your vehicle from harsh road salts and chemicals that may corrode your vehicle and lead to permanent rust and damage.

How Long Does Ceramic Coating Last In Winnipeg's Climate?

At Crystal Auto Styling, we offer 3 exterior coating options, each designed to last for multiple years:

  • Jade's 9H Emerald Ceramic Coating is designed to offer 4 years of paint protection.
  • Jade's 10H Graphene Ceramic Coating is designed to offer 5 years of paint protection.
  • Jade's 10H Pro Ceramic Coating is designed to offer 7 years of paint protection.

Many factors can influence the lifespan of your vehicle's ceramic coating. We recommend speaking directly with one of our certified installers for a more accurate estimate based on the age and type of your vehicle as well as its usage.

Ceramic Coating Vs. Traditional Wax: What's The Difference?

Our team often gets asked about the relative benefits of traditional waxing vs. ceramic coating, and our answer is this: Ceramic coating essentially does everything that traditional wax does, but is more durable, longer lasting, and easier to maintain. Whereas car wax must be applied every few months and is susceptible to deterioration, a ceramic coat creates a bond with your vehicle's paint that won't degrade and will last for many years.

How To Maintain Your Ceramic-Coated Vehicle

Maintaining your ceramic-coated vehicle is simple and straightforward. Wash your car regularly (as needed), avoid automated car washes, and use a pH-neutral car shampoo with no added wax. Find more specifics from Jade Ceramics here.
