FAQ
My car is brand new, do I still need Paint Correction before ceramic coating?
My car is regularly used, do I need Paint Correction before ceramic coating?
Yes. Daily driving can lead to swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation. Paint Correction is highly recommended to remove these imperfections, ensuring the ceramic coating bonds effectively and enhances the depth and gloss of your paint.
How much ceramic do I need? Is one bottle sufficient to cover my car?
- 30ml = Enough for a standard sedan
- 50ml = Best for SUVs, 4x4s, and wagons
I have PPF / a wrap — what coating should I use?
Coatings like Gyeon Quartz Q2 PPF EVO are specially formulated to protect paint protection film (PPF) and vinyl wraps without compromising flexibility or appearance.
Will ceramic coating hide swirl marks?
No. Ceramic coatings protect your paint but don’t erase existing swirl scratches. Their hard, glossy layer can make light swirls a bit less visible in reflections, but it doesn’t fill them in.
Do ceramic coatings prevent scratches?
They offer extra resistance to light scratches and swirls because they create a very hard, glassy layer. However, they’re not a complete shield. Deeper chips or gouges can still go through the coating.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
Properly applied coatings last for years, not just months. With good surface prep and maintenance, many ceramic coatings provide protection for roughly 2–10 years depending on the product.
Will ceramic coating make my car glossier?
Yes. Coatings like Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light and Gyeon Q² MOHS EVO boost deep gloss and shine, keeping your paint looking freshly detailed for longer.
Which ceramic coating is the most durable?
If you're after long-term protection, Ethos Graphene Matrix Coating and Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra are standout choices for their resistance to UV, chemicals, and environmental wear.
