What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to a vehicle's paint, creating a durable, protective layer. Unlike wax or sealants, it resists scratches, UV damage, and contaminants while enhancing gloss. Advanced coatings, like silicon carbide-based Opti-Coat, offer superior durability, hydrophobic properties, and long-lasting shine, making vehicles easier to clean and maintain.

How does Ceramic Coating Tampa Fl stand out from competition?
There are two main types of ceramic coating: The more common Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂) known as quartz or glass coating and Silicon Carbide (SiC) better known as industrial diamonds.
These ceramic coatings are not created equal. As SiC coatings are the only ceramic coating that truly bond chemically with the paint surface, creating a permanent connection. This bond is not just a layer resin sitting on top of the paint like SiO₂ coatings but a true molecular integration that forms a harder, more resilient protective barrier. As well as a layer of shine that is incomparable to SiO₂ that doesn’t fade over time. SiC’s hardness, rated 9 on the Mohs scale compared to SiO₂’s 7, provides superior resistance to scratches, chemical etching, and heat.
SiC ceramic coatings are better than SiO₂ ceramic coatings. Period.
