Is ceramic coating good for your car?
Yes, ceramic coating offers superior protection against UV rays, chemical stains, and environmental damage. At Evoke Auto Spa, we use Revivify self-healing ceramic coatings to deliver unmatched gloss and hydrophobic performance—preserving your vehicle’s finish with a professional-grade solution trusted by luxury car owners.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
A professionally applied ceramic coating can last 2 to 5 years or more, depending on the product and maintenance. At Evoke Auto Spa, we offer advanced coatings like Revivify that extend durability while maintaining deep gloss and protection. Regular care ensures lasting results tailored to your driving habits and climate.
How much does it cost to ceramic coat an entire car?
Full ceramic coating for a vehicle typically ranges from $750 to $2,000. At Evoke Auto Spa, pricing reflects the coating type, paint condition, and required prep—often including paint correction for optimal results. We provide transparent estimates and premium service for discerning vehicle owners who expect lasting excellence.
What are the limitations of ceramic coating?
While ceramic coating offers many benefits, it doesn’t eliminate the need for maintenance and cannot prevent all physical damage like rock chips. At Evoke Auto Spa, we educate clients on realistic expectations and proper care to maximize longevity and performance. Done right, the pros far outweigh the limitations.
Can I run my ceramic coated car through a car wash?
It’s best to avoid automated car washes with brushes, as they can mar the surface—even with ceramic coating. At Evoke Auto Spa, we recommend touchless washes or hand washing using the two-bucket method to preserve the coating’s hydrophobic and glossy finish for the long term.
Can you wax over ceramic coating?
Yes, but it’s not necessary. Ceramic coatings provide superior protection and gloss compared to traditional waxes. At Evoke Auto Spa, we advise against waxing unless you’re using a compatible topper designed for ceramic coated surfaces. Our coatings eliminate the need for frequent waxing while enhancing durability and shine.
Do ceramic coatings offer scratch protection?
Ceramic coatings offer a layer of scratch resistance, especially against minor swirl marks, but they are not bulletproof. At Evoke Auto Spa, we use Revivify self-healing coatings that can recover from micro-scratches under heat—providing enhanced resilience for high-end finishes.
How to wash a ceramic coated car?
Use pH-neutral shampoo, a microfiber wash mitt, and the two-bucket method. At Evoke Auto Spa, we recommend washing in the shade and drying with a soft towel or blower to avoid water spots. Following these best practices helps maintain your coating’s performance and finish over time.
Does ceramic coating make water bead?
Yes, ceramic coating creates a hydrophobic surface that repels water and makes it bead off easily. At Evoke Auto Spa, our premium coatings provide not only stunning gloss but also excellent self-cleaning properties—keeping your vehicle looking freshly detailed with minimal effort.
Can ceramic coating be applied at home?
While DIY kits exist, professional application ensures maximum durability, even coverage, and proper bonding. At Evoke Auto Spa, we prep and apply professional-grade ceramic coatings under ideal conditions, often pairing them with paint correction for flawless, long-lasting protection.
How thick is a ceramic coating?
Most ceramic coatings form a protective layer just 1-2 microns thick—enough to shield against contaminants without altering your car’s finish. At Evoke Auto Spa, we use advanced coatings from Revivify that offer superior thickness at 5-10 microns and even self-healing capabilities for added durability.
Does ceramic coating prevent rock chips?
Ceramic coating offers minor resistance to abrasion but is not designed to stop rock chips. For that level of impact protection, we recommend pairing your coating with paint protection film (PPF). At Evoke Auto Spa, we guide clients toward the right solutions based on driving habits and protection goals.
How do I top up ceramic coating?
Topping up a ceramic coating typically involves applying a compatible spray sealant every few months. At Evoke Auto Spa, we offer maintenance services using coating-safe products to rejuvenate hydrophobic effects and extend your protection—ideal for keeping your finish fresh between full reapplications. We recommend coming in for a proper maintenance procedure annually to give your coating a prolonged life.
