What is a Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coatings are advanced automotive protection products designed to safeguard your vehicle's exterior. These coatings utilize nanotechnology to create an ultra-thin, transparent layer on the paint surface. Unlike traditional waxes and sealants, ceramic coatings form a molecular bond with the paint, providing a range of benefits:
-
Long-Lasting Protection: Ceramic coatings offer durable protection against environmental contaminants, UV rays, and minor scratches, preserving your car's finish for an extended period.
-
Hydrophobic Properties: They create a hydrophobic surface, causing water, dirt, and grime to bead up and roll off, making your vehicle easier to clean and reducing water spot formation.
-
Enhanced Gloss: Ceramic coatings enhance your car's appearance, giving it a brilliant, high-gloss finish that turns heads on the road.
-
Chemical Resistance: These coatings resist stains from bird droppings, tree sap, and road salts, as well as provide resistance to chemical damage.
-
Reduced Maintenance: With a ceramic coating, maintenance becomes simpler, requiring less frequent waxing and polishing.

Here's what people have to say about us
Ceramics
What are they? How do they work? How much?
-
What are they?
- Ceramics are a clear, hard, hydrophobic cover for your clear coat and paint. It protects the actual paint, makes the car shinier, and makes it easier to clean.
- a synthetic/non-synthetic polymer that is applied to the exterior of your car as a liquid. It solidifies and creates a clear hard protective coat over your paint's clear coat.
- providing some protections from scratches, chips, dirt, and the elements like sea air.
- it's extremely hydrophobic so most times you can just rinse your car clean, and hand dry it. Instead of washing it every time it's dirty.
-
How do they work?
1. Your car has a layer of clear coat on the paint. Most scratches are in the clear coat.
2. Ceramics a hard clear layer of protection for the clear coat on your car. It's like an armor for your paint.
3. The ceramic fills in shallow scratches in your clear coat at times, making them disappear and ultimately making the surface of your car smoother, which in turn makes your car appear shinier.

Ceramic Maintenance
CarLocker will stand behind any of the ceramics that we do for 3 years, as long as our guidelines are followed.
Some of the guidelines include:
- Ceramic Maintenance Plan with CarLocker. We offer maintenance programs to keep a warranty on your ceramic. This is at minimum, one ceramic maintenance wash a month, to reinvigorate the ceramic with a ceramic shampoo and spray. Ensuring the ceramic retains it's hydrophobic, protective, and cosmetic properties.
- Only ceramic shampoos and sprays are used on the car. Regular soap can cause the ceramic to turn cloudy and be ruined.
- No automatic car washes. Automatic car washes are just not a good idea in general, but especially with ceramics. They cause swirls/scratches in the ceramic and paint and ruin it.
