🚫 Does Ceramic Coating Have Cons? Here’s What Most People Don’t Know
Ceramic coating gives your car gloss, shine, and long-term protection, but it’s not perfect. Here’s what it can’t do:
1️⃣ Does NOT Stop Rock Chips
Ceramic coating isn’t armor. It won’t prevent rock chips, deep scratches, or impact damage — that’s what PPF is for.
2️⃣ Still Needs Maintenance
It makes washing easier, but your car still needs proper washing, pH-neutral soaps, and maintenance toppers. It’s not “wash-free forever.”
3️⃣ Quality Varies
Cheap coatings or inexperienced installers can fail early, peel, haze, or create dull spots. Installer skill matters as much as the product.
4️⃣ Doesn’t Fix Paint Imperfections
Swirls, scratches, or oxidation remain unless polished before coating.
5️⃣ Higher Upfront Cost
Includes paint correction, multi-step prep, premium materials, and curing time — but lasts years, unlike waxing.
✅ Is Ceramic Coating Still Worth It?
Absolutely. It protects your paint from UV damage, enhances gloss, and makes maintenance easier. For full protection, most serious owners combine:
🔥 PPF on high-impact areas
🔥 Ceramic coating on the whole car
