Ceramic Coatings
Why Ceramic Coat your vehicle?
You want your vehicle to look as good as it did the day you bought it. So you carefully wash it on a regular basis and you apply a new coat of wax every few months. But despite your efforts, swirl marks, chips, and stains start to populate on your vehicle’s exterior. Not only that, water spots, dirt, and grime start clinging to your car the day after you give it a thorough wash. What if there was a product that could change this narrative; a product that would provide protection from environmental hazards and make your car easier to wash, while not requiring repeated application?
Good news! There is. It’s called a Ceramic Coating (or Nano-Ceramic Coating), and it could add substantial value to your vehicle. A Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that is applied by hand to the exterior of a vehicle. The coating chemically bonds with the vehicle’s factory paint, creating a layer of protection. A Ceramic Coating is not a substitute for Paint Protection Film, which provides a more comprehensive form of protection. Rather, it is a premium wax alternative.? A Ceramic Coating creates a permanent or semi-permanent bond with a vehicle’s paint, meaning that it does not wash away or break down and does not require repeated application every few months.
What Does a Ceramic Coating Do?
In short, a Ceramic Coating adds additional protection to your car’s exterior and helps keep it looking like-new with comparatively minimal maintenance. The coating achieves this result by making your vehicle more resilient and easier to clean. Here are the main benefits:
Protection from UV Damage / Oxidization
If a vehicle is often exposed to the sun, its paint will begin to oxidize, resulting in dulled and faded paint. A layer of Ceramic Coating protects a vehicle’s paint from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, thereby reducing the amount of oxidization.
Ease of Cleaning
One of the most significant features of a Ceramic Coating is that it is hydrophobic, which is a fancy way of saying it repels water. When a vehicle has a hydrophobic Ceramic Coating, water will bead on the surface and slide off more easily. This means that mud and grime will have a more difficult time bonding to your vehicle’s paint, and when you wash your car, contaminants can be removed with less effort.
Enhanced Gloss
If you want your paint to pop with gloss, you will want to add a Ceramic Coating. A good Ceramic Coating enhances the reflective properties of your car’s paint and clear coat, adding to the depth and clarity of your paint.

Clean / DECON / Prep / CERAMIC COATING
Similar to the other painted surfaces of your car, your wheels are also subject to the daily wear and tear of driving as well as environmental contaminants like tar, dirt, and grime. Your wheels are also subject to damage from brake dust. Brake dusts hot, metal debris can easily damage your painted wheels and brake calipers, chipping and fading them. Fortunately, there are ways to protect your painted wheels, like ceramic wheel coatings. Our ceramic wheel coatings form a permanent chemical bond with the surface of your wheels and calipers, making them smooth and preventing contaminants from staying on long enough to damage the paint. In addition, the hydrophobic nature of ceramic wheel coatings will ensure that water simply beads up and rolls off making it easier to keep your wheels clean.

Leather Coating
Clean / Prep / Coat
Due to constant exposure to harsh elements, your leather surfaces, if left untreated, tend to fade and wear quicker than other sections of your car. The rubbing of your pants or jeans on the seat, harsh UV rays, spilled drinks and food all cause staining, drying, scarring, and a general fading. Properly cared for leather is easier to maintain, so make sure you protect from the beginning with GYEON Q2 Leather Shield!
