About this episode
Ceramic coatings get talked about like they're complicated, intimidating, and only meant for professional detailers.
I don't think they need to be.
In this video I talk about the real reason I think most people should ceramic coat their car: it simply makes the car easier to keep looking good.
Long before I got into detailing, I had a neighbor whose truck and car always looked incredible. I finally asked him what he did, and his routine was simple — wash them regularly and put a good wax on every few months.
That was around 2008.
Today, ceramic coatings give you that same basic idea with a much longer-lasting foundation.
A good ceramic coating can help:
• Make your paint look glossier
• Make dirt and grime easier to remove
• Make drying easier
• Reduce how much you need to touch and scrub the paint
• Keep the car looking maintained between washes
• Make DIY maintenance a whole lot easier
I also talk about why people are intimidated by ceramic coatings, what happens if you get a high spot, and why I designed The Gloss Boss to be what I call the "impossible-to-mess-up ceramic coating."
