Caring for your ceramic coated car goes beyond the regular suds and rinse routine; it's about preserving the hydrophobic and protective qualities that keep your vehicle looking sleek and repelling water effectively. Whether you're a car enthusiast or a daily commuter, knowing the best practices for maintaining that gleaming exterior will prolong the life of the ceramic coating and enhance the performance of your vehicle's paint.

Ceramic coatings utilize nanotechnology to guard and enhance the aesthetic of a vehicle's surface. They're commonly recognized for their use on car paint, but their application extends to the protection of vinyl wraps as well. Vehicle enthusiasts often select vinyl wraps for both personalizing and safeguarding the original paintwork. Since vinyl is markedly distinct from standard body panel finishes, some might question the safety of using ceramic coatings on these wraps.

Ceramic coating your wheels and calipers is more than just an aesthetic choice; it's an investment in the protection and longevity of these vital components. With daily driving, your wheels and brakes are exposed to a barrage of contaminants, from brake dust to road salts, which can compromise not only the look but also the integrity of these parts. Ceramic coatings offer a durable shield, repelling these abrasive substances and making cleaning a breeze.

Car enthusiasts in Reno understand the value of keeping their vehicles pristine in the midst of harsh weather conditions and the occasional stray pebble on the road.

Both of these products bring distinctive benefits and technologies to the table, targeting different aspects of vehicle protection.

The future of surface protection is here!

Seriously, I am really excited to introduce you to our latest offering, Ceramic Pro ION®. Ceramic Pro ION is set to revolutionize the automotive paint protection industry in 2023 and beyond. There’s no doubt about that!

Having spent time this year closely analyzing the auto detailing industry (and overseeing countless detailing jobs at VIP Autospa), I'd like to take a minute to outline five trends that have caught my eye that could greatly impact the industry in 2023 and beyond.

In many ways, a ceramic coating is the most misunderstood paint protection option on the market today. The often conflicting information on the internet has done very little to help buyers in making their purchasing decisions. Yet the longevity of a ceramic coating is one of the most important factors. Today we are going to cut through the jargon and give you the answer.

This year, Ceramic Pro 9H has been without a doubt the most popular detailing product at our detailing shop. And rightly so. Just when we thought it could not get any better, Ceramic Pro introduced Kavaca PPF and Kavaca Window Tint. Initially, we offered each of these products as individual packages. That was until we found that our customers kept asking if it was possible to get all three car protection products together. The result: Ultimate Armor Deluxe package.

Have you seen those cars with peeling, bubbling, or fading dyed window films? Not only does it look ugly, but the deterioration of these films can affect the driver's visibility, making driving downright dangerous! Given all this bad news, it's not surprising that many motorists refrain from installing any form of window film on their vehicles. Well, that was until a new groundbreaking window tint came on the market recently, thanks to nanotechnology. 🎉 This is the same technology that gave us the ceramic coatings we love so much.

If you read a lot of the stuff online, you might be left wondering if a ceramic coating is a miracle car-care product or just a bunch of fluff wrapped in marketing jargon. As a person who deals with ceramic coatings all day, every day, it doesn't sit well with me when people share half-truths and sometimes blatant lies to get a sale. So let's debunk a few myths about ceramic coatings.

Taking care of a vehicle's interior (just like the exterior) is all about long-term, durable protection. You've probably noticed that interior surfaces like leather and plastics need regular conditioning. The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays will damage anything exposed to them for an extended period of time — including unprotected interior surfaces of your car. Fortunately, there's an A+++ solution.

Did you know that the applications of ceramic coatings go beyond paint protection on your car? Besides protecting your cowboy boots (see video!), ceramic coatings can keep your house clean, safeguard your iPhone, and restore the shine on your BBQ grill. And, in the future, it will completely transform your air travel.

Without question, the two biggest classes of products in the world of automotive paint protection are ceramic coatings and paint protection films. But which should you put on your car to reap the most benefit? What's the best option for YOUR vehicle?

If you've recently ceramic coated your car (or are planning to), you've probably heard the golden rule. Do not wash your car or expose it to rain within the first 7 days of application! But why do you have to wait a week (in some cases two weeks) to take your new fancy-looking ride for a spin? It all comes down to one thing: curing.

Should you ceramic coat a new car? You may not think that a shiny new vehicle, fresh off the dealership, will need any detailing — but that couldn't be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, the best investment you can make after buying a new car is ceramic coating it! This is why.

No one likes driving around all day with a dirty-looking car or having to clean their car every other day. When you bring your vehicle to VIP Auto Spa/Ceramic Pro Reno for ceramic coating, these two concerns cease to exist! A bold claim, but it's 100% backed by science. Why is a ceramic-coated car so easy to maintain? It all comes down to one of the most incredible words in the English language — the hydrophobic effect. 💦
