LEARN ABOUT CERAMIC COATINGS

Discover some basic facts and myths about GYEON ceramic coatings.

WHAT IS A CERAMIC COATING?

It's a solid transparent, slick and highly self-cleaning silica-based protective layer once crystallized.
It might be applied on any surface of your vehicle to provide the ultimate protection.

how does the ceramic coating work?

The layer might be very thin, but is extremely resistant. It is fully chemical resistant and can't be removed by polishing. Being a liquid during application, the coating penetrates the porous structure of the paint and seals it. This does increase the slickness of any automotive paint enormously. A ceramic coating has great UV resistance, which prevents the paint from oxidation.

WHICH COATING IS THE BEST?

QUARTZ, CERAMIC OR GLASS?

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A CERAMIC COATING?

It's not all about the looks! Of course, a well prepared and ceramic coated car looks amazing, as Gyeon coatings are very glossy and enhance the intensity of the paint. But you will notice most benefits on a daily basis. The car will get dirty much slower, the usual maintenance wash will become less frequent. Your car will feel slick and will collect less dust and pollen. Paint will not oxidise, brake dust won't adhere to rims as much as before. Your paint will remain glossy as new for years.

DO GYEON COATINGS HAVE 9H HARDNESS?

Yes, just like every high-quality ceramic coating. But is that important? Not really. The important qualities of a ceramic coating are its enormous UV & chemical resistance, structural integrity and most of all - slickness. This is the key feature that helps maintain a vehicle scratch-free.

will a coating always bead water like it does on day 1?

No. Beading is spectacular, although it's the secondary quality of a ceramic coating. Fact: a coating might be even more self-cleaning being hydrophilic than hydrophobic. The hydrophobicity is a result of very high surface tension a coating generates. It will diminish with time due to contamination, but has no connection with the level of protection. To restore hydrophobicity, contact your detailer or have a look at the mainTENance guide on our website.

what won't a ceramic coating protect against?

It will not protect your car against scratches, swirls or scuffs, unless maintained correctly. It won't protect you against stone chips or any other mechanical damage. A ceramic coating is not paint protection film. It is a fantastic tool for a conscious user to help maintain a vehicle in perfect condition with great use, but it will not solve all issues!
