Let me first talk about what ceramic coating is. A ceramic coating is also called a nano coating and has the main component silicon dioxide, or usually, silicon carbide.

It is available in a liquid form, allowing it to be applied to a vehicle and adhere to the vehicle's finish.

After it hardens, the silicon dioxide and other coating characteristics form an additional protective shell that repels water and protects against UV radiation.

I'm saying there are many misconceptions out there about ceramic coatings.

It doesn't get rid of water spots. Unfortunately, that's the truth, although it does help. Since the ceramic coating has water-repelling properties, the water and water droplets run off much, much easier than a regular paint, which is why you see it in the videos. That reduces the possibility of water spots. Thanks to the hydrophobic properties of the ceramic coating, water and water droplets easily run off the surface, which is why it appears on the videos, which lowers the chance of water spots appearing. Number two, a ceramic coating will not prevent rock chips and scratches.
