So now you know ceramic coating is the right choice for your vehicle. But what about the windows and sunroof? Ceramic Pro coating works wonderfully on your vehicles glass and has some really awesome benefits! Check out this blog from Ceramic Pro about applying ceramic coating to glass.

Benefits of Applying Ceramic Coating to Your Car’s Glass

Most DIY ceramic car coating products available on the market last around 1-3 years on average. They should not be confused as being the same or an alternative to professional-grade nanocoatings – like Ceramic Pro 9H. Professional ceramic coatings are typically formulated specifically for individual materials – meaning a nano coating just for plastics, one for leather, one for clear coat and paint, another for vinyl wraps or PPF, and yes – a specific formula for glass.

DIY coatings do not generally offer this type of flexibility. Their formulations are designed to allow users to apply to most exterior materials – and do an OK job with the application and bonding to the surface. However, due to the multiple variables in the installation and prep process, and the simple lack of experience for installing by the average car owner, results will and usually do vary.

The question many of our customers ask is whether a DIY nano-coating will “work” if applied to glass. It’s important to clarify that while the coating will bond to the surface, it doesn’t always penetrate in the minor imperfections on that surface. In fact, in most cases, when you apply a DIY coating to windshields – the wiper blades will skip over the glass surface (or what we call “windshield chatter”), as opposed to gliding smoothly over and removing water.

Nonetheless, if you should decide to apply a nano-coating to glass, it can provide multiple benefits that outweigh wax and other water-reflecting glass coatings.

Improved Visibility

During poor weather such as fog, cloudiness, or a rainstorm, it becomes difficult to see through your front windshield, rear windshield, and side windows. This is especially the case when it is raining, as the water blocks your view completely until the windshield wipers get activated.

Since the ceramic coating is hydrophobic, this is a case where it is especially helpful. Ceramic coating being hydrophobic means it provides a flat, smooth surface that is resistant to water. This means that when it is raining outside, the water will not stick to the glass itself as easily which will make it much easier for you to see outside of your vehicle, which will make you much safer, as improved visibility will help you avoid potential accidents.

Easier Cleaning

With a ceramic coating on your car’s glass, contaminants that are usually difficult to remove such as bug splatters, bird droppings, tree sap, etc. wipe off much easier. This is most helpful if you drive a commercial truck or frequently go on long road trips since your windshield will stay clean much longer and when it does get dirty, will be easier to clean.

Enhanced Clarity

One great benefit of ceramic coating your glass is that it both repels water and greatly improves visibility without leaving behind any sort of cloudiness or haziness, unlike other products. During times of day where there is little light and/or fog and cloudiness, having crystal clear windows and windshields will always beat having reduced visibility caused by inferior products.

When properly applied, you can expect a ceramic coating to leave behind no residue, film, or anything else that can negatively affect visibility.

Ceramic coating is also UV resistant, which helps in terms of clarity since there is less glare from the sun that can mess with your view. This anti-glare is also helpful when driving at night to protect against the headlights from other cars.

Scratch-Resistance

After curing, a ceramic coating provides an extremely durable and strong protective shell that is scratch-resistant and can last up to 5 years when properly applied.

By reducing the potential for scratches from something like blowing sand or small debris, the ceramic coating helps with the longevity of your automotive glass. It still won’t protect against something like a rock chip hitting your glass at high speeds, though.
