The pinnacle of surface protection coatings, CERAMIC COATINGS
“Ceramic” is a term thrown around loosely in the detailing industry. But what does it mean? What’s it made out of? What are the benefits? Let’s simplify the science behind it. Most quality ceramic coatings are a polymer base liquid with silicon dioxide (SiO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2) and a few more ingredients that when cured properly, will leave behind a diamond-like shell around the surface of the install area. Properties like extreme gloss, water hydrophobicity, anti-graffiti, UV rejection and color enhancement are all obtained through high quality coatings. This is important to understand when shopping for the right results, as most “ceramic” products found on the shelves will deteriorate after just a couple days. Ceramic Pro is the pioneer of nano-ceramic coatings, and proudly offers warranties from 5 years up to a LIFETIME when installed properly. Your vehicle is a long term investment, right?
Where to Install?
What can a ceramic coating be installed on?”, is a very common question we get. The answer is ALMOST ANYTHING. We have very particular formulas that treat each surface differently, from exterior paint, to leather, trim/plastics, glass, and almost any other surface we can think of.
Unlike wax or sealants, which need to be reapplied regularly, a ceramic coating lasts for years. And in a world where things lose value with time, it’s important to keep your investments protected. We would have ceramic coated the Statue of Liberty if we had the magic formula back then.

Our Ceramic Coating Process
At Ruud’s Garage & Film Labs, we’ve developed a comprehensive, detail-oriented process for applying ceramic coatings. Here’s an in-depth look at our approach:
- Vehicle Inspection: The very first step is a detailed inspection of your vehicle. This isn’t just a quick once-over. We examine every inch of your car, taking note of any existing stains, dents, or any imperfections. Understanding the current condition of your car helps us determine the level of prep work required and allows us to give you an accurate estimate of the job.
- Surface Preparation: Next, we move on to preparing your vehicle’s surface – a critical stage in the ceramic coating process. To start, we wash your car thoroughly using a high-quality automotive shampoo to remove loose dirt and dust. Then, we use clay bars to get rid of any embedded contaminants. This is followed by a meticulous polishing process to remove stains and any damages caused by the weather. Only when we’re satisfied that your car’s surface is impeccably clean and smooth do we proceed to the next step.
- Ceramic Coating Application: The actual application of the ceramic coating is a delicate process that requires a steady hand and keen attention to detail. We apply the coating slowly and methodically, ensuring every square inch of your car’s exterior is covered. The coating is applied using a special applicator pad in a cross-hatch pattern to ensure uniform coverage. Each panel is coated individually and inspected before moving on to the next.
- Curing Time: Once the ceramic coating is applied, it needs time to cure. This isn’t something that can be rushed. During this period, the coating bonds with your car’s paint, forming a hard, protective layer. Depending on the specific product used and the ambient conditions, this can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. During this time, it’s crucial that the car not be exposed to rain or harsh sunlight.
