What Makes Ceramic Pro Unique?

Let's continue with part 2 from Ceramic Pro of Why Ceramic Pro and What makes it unique?

One of the other things that makes Ceramic Pro so unique and so special, it was designed from the beginning to be a multilayerable coating. So what does that mean to you the consumer and to your vehicle? As you can see here, when anything is applied, or Ceramic Pro is applied, it fills the majority of the pores or you do have some peaks that remain above. So by adding multilayers, multiple layers, you're able to achieve a brand new top substrate that's more visually appealing. It's also slicker and more hard. And that brings us to the term that you might hear so often 9H. What is 9H? 9H is basically a measurement of hardness. And once we're able to achieve this new top substrate you're able to get much closer to this 9H hardness than the original substrate. Most typical clear coats measure between two and 3H. So as you can see, we're able to almost triple the density of your original substrate.

Coming over to an explanation of how it works, how it bonds. So, when you talk about waxes and sealants of the past they worked by forming what we call a physical bond. So the particles are quite large and they did well at bonding to each other but not so well at permanently filling the pores. So, I'm showing you what a sealant would look like. Particles are quite large. They sit on top of the surface and bond to each other to protect what's underneath. Now, Ceramic Pro works in a different way by forming a covalent bond and permanently filling the pores using very, very, very small particles. And this effect can not be washed off, detergents won't remove it, heat will not evaporate it as waxes and sealants had in the past. And this, once it's filled, is permanent which is why we call it a permanent bond. So, it can not be removed by anything other than abrasion.

Next, I want to walk you to something that you commonly see with marketing of Ceramic Pro too which is water behavior or beading. And what you'll see is that the Ceramic Pro once it fills the pores it leaves behind what we call nanotubes that stand straight up. And the nanotubes allow us to get very insanely tight water beading. This is what promotes the self-cleaning effect, why your vehicle stays so clean so much longer and it's so easy to maintain. Over time of course, this can diminish somewhat. However, this effect here, the pores being filled is a permanent bond, your UV protection, your stain resistance, all of the things that are warrantied that are environmental will remain permanently.


Lastly we get asked quite often, "Can I put this on my older car?" Or, "Will it fill in scratches?" The answer to that is yes of course you can put it on older cars but it doesn't fill in scratches. It doesn't work that way. However, what's great about what we do is all of our technicians are also trained in the art of paint correction. And why would you need that? I'll explain it to you.

RIDS stands for a Random Isolated Defects and Scratches. And what I mean by that is over time as you wash the car, drive it, debris flies by on it, you'll get random scratches. The more RIDS you get the more when you shine the sun on it or a direct beam you see this spider webbing effect. So again, add more scratches over time, the tighter this effect becomes and the more pronounced it becomes and the less clear your paint seems to be. But again, through the art of paint correction we reduce the RIDS and you may have an isolated scratch on your vehicle. However, you will not have this spider webbing effect. We have six months all the way up to lifetime warranted packages, truly something for everybody. The future is now. Wax is dead and Ceramic Pro is the answer to preserving the value of your vehicle permanently.
