Should I Install Ceramic Coating on my New Car?

You've made the purchase! You love your brand new car. Now, what is the best way to keep it looking like it just rolled off the show room floor for as long as possible. Ceramic Pro is the answer. The leader in the ceramic coating industry does a great job of walking you through exactly why it is the right choice for protecting your brand new vehicle. Check out exerts from a Ceramic Pro blog on the subject below:


There is no debating the effectiveness of a professional-grade ceramic coating. The nano technology and advanced formulations in Ceramic Pro 9H coatings are customized for specific materials, applications, and customer use. When it’s applied by a professional auto salon, like American Dent Specialists, it provides a sacrificial layer of protection that can last for years. The questions many people often ask is what is the best ceramic coating on new cars? Should it be done immediately – or should you wait a while?


Like any other protective coating, optimal results occur when the surface or substrate is clean and free of contaminants or debris. So – it kind of makes sense that applying a nano ceramic coating when the vehicle rolls off the dealership lot is the best time to complete this task – right?

Well – yes and no. Make no mistake, the choice to have a professional Ceramic Pro installer protect your ride with a high-grade nano coating is a smart one. But it is important to consider all the options available to you, before setting up that appointment. That’s what we’ll help you with today.


What Are the Benefits of Ceramic Coating on New Cars?

A ceramic coating elevates protection to your new paint job the highest level. This ultra-concentrated quartz coating uses advanced nano technology to penetrate microscopic imperfections found in all porous surfaces including the vehicle’s paint clear coat, headlight covers, glass, carbon fiber, and more.


When the car’s paint and other surfaces are clean and free of tiny contaminants, the microscopic nanoparticles will fill those peaks and valleys, leaving the surface exceptionally flat. With every additional layer or ceramic coat, the protective shield will expand, and the level of protection against minor scratches and exposure to harmful elements increases.


Ceramic coatings for cars deliver a plethora of benefits including:

Helps to Repel Mud, Rain, and Dirt

Most cars arrive to the dealership with a protective coating of wax or a thin paint sealant. It’s mainly a spray on product that is applied at the factory to help protect the surface during transit. But these coatings are not strong or durable. In fact, they can be removed by using a decontamination car shampoo and clay bar treatment in most cases.

When you apply the nano-ceramic coating when the car is new and that paint sealant is removed, it will help improve protection against mud, rain, and dirt. This is due to the super hydrophobic properties caused by the flat, 9H hard surface that is created once the coat has cured. The super slippery surface also makes it less likely for bird droppings, tree sap, pollen, and other stuff from sticking.

Protection Against Oxidation, Corrosion, and Rust

Even a new car is prone to UV exposure and damage produced by UVA and UVB rays. Constant exposure to ultraviolet rays eventually breakdown the clear coat. This will introduce oxygen, water, and salt or other road grime to metal, which leads to oxidation and corrosion. The ceramic coat is so strong that it blocks UV rays from touching the clear coat, which eliminates the potential of corrosion and the development of rust on the vehicle’s exterior.

Enhanced Shine and Paint Depth

A common misconception of a car ceramic coating like Ceramic Pro 9H is that is makes paint glossy. That’s not entirely accurate. If your paint is a gloss finish, the applied coating will increase the depth and richness of that glossy paint. On the reverse, if the paint is a matte finish, it will make the matte stand out, without producing a gloss effect.



This introduces our first KEY TIP for applying a professional coating when you have a new car. A new car is less likely to have any paint damage, like swirl marks, marring, or scratches. The ceramic coating needs a clean and damage-free surface to enhance the vehicles appearance. This is accomplished through paint correction or polishing the vehicle. If there is damage or small scratches on the car’s paintwork, the ceramic car coating will enhance those imperfections.


KEY TIP #1 – Have your car coated as soon as possible after purchasing from the dealership, as you’ll require less paint correction or prep work – which can save you money and time.
