Professional Ceramic Coating Services in NJ
Ceramic coatings are a better alternative to traditional waxes/sealants. Professional-grade ceramic coatings last anywhere from 2-5 years depending on which products were applied.
Ceramic coatings are typically made of a liquid polymer that is cured and forms a hard, glass-like finish on the various surfaces of the vehicle (most commonly the paint). The coating acts as a barrier to prevent damage to the paint and other surfaces while enhancing the appearance and ease of cleaning.
Ceramic coatings require much less traditional maintenance, however, nothing is indestructible. In order to extend the life of your coating(s), we recommend maintenance washes at least once a month. This will prevent excessive build up which can eventually clog the coating.

Improved Protection
A ceramic coating acts as an extra barrier to protect the paint and clear coat from damage caused by environmental factors such as UV rays, rain, dust, and bird droppings.
Enhanced Shine
A ceramic coating gives the car a deeper, more vibrant shine that lasts longer than traditional waxing.
Easy Maintenance
A ceramic coating makes maintenance easier as it is extremely hydrophobic. Dirt and grime will not adhere as easily to the surface, making it easier and faster to clean.
Increased Resale Value
A ceramic coating can increase the resale value of a car by maintaining its showroom appearance for longer. Our coatings also get added to your vehicle's CARFAX.
Cost Effective
Although the initial cost of a ceramic coating may be higher, in the long run, it can save money as it reduces the need for frequent waxing and other maintenance.
Coating Maintenance
Although ceramic coatings are a superior way of protecting the exterior of your vehicle, build-up does occur over time. Driving countless miles through different terrains and a multitude of environments is harsh on your vehicle. Environmental contaminants can still stick to the coated surface just like an uncoated surface, however, the cleanup process is much faster and you will always achieve better results.
A clear indication of a well-performing ceramic coating is that there is a super high surface tension, which is what causes the extremely tight water beads we all love so much. These water beads help carry dirt off the vehicle when it gets wet by rolling down the panels of the vehicle and collecting dirt. If the surface looks flat when there is water on it, the coating has either failed over time or is clogged and needs to be cleaned.
Maintenance Tips:
-
Hand wash regularly
-
On average, people drive about 500 miles within 2 weeks. This is a lot of time for dirt to build up on the surfaces of your vehicle
-
-
Avoid automatic car washes
-
They typically use harsh soap and aggressive brushes that can eventually lead to premature coating failure and TONS of paint imperfections
-
-
Only use pH-neutral car shampoo with a microfiber wash mitt
-
Avoid "wash and wax" soaps because these may interfere with the ceramic coating
-
-
DO NOT wax the vehicle as this will cover and interfere with the ceramic coating
Here in Central New Jersey, you are likely aware that your car, truck, or SUV is constantly subjected to harsh UV ray exposure, stains caused by bug splatters and bird droppings, and various other contaminants that are not always easy to remove from unprotected paintwork. But with a highly hydrophobic, glossy ceramic coating applied by the certified auto detailing specialists here at Andrew's Automotive Detailing, these worries will be a thing of the past!
Ceramic coatings have such a large benefit to them in the way of aesthetic beauty that brings serious vehicle value improvements to what you drive. However, the functional perks of any of the ceramic coating packages we install go back to the prevention of stains and contamination buildup.
Your daily maintenance will be simplified and your vehicle luster improved with the help of Andrew's Automotive Detailing! Our ceramic coatings form a solid, secure, and safe bond with your original clear coat by utilizing nanoparticles that interlock with divots in your finish. This keeps the coating from washing away like a paint wax or spray sealant does, as those types of protective applications merely dry on top of your paint for a shorter period of time.
