The Science Behind Ceramic Coatings: How They Actually Work

Ceramic coatings aren’t just a marketing gimmick — they’re backed by real science. At Cory’s Car Care, we apply advanced ceramic protection to vehicles across Peterlee and the North East, using products that chemically bond with your car’s paint to provide unmatched durability.

What Is a Ceramic Coating?

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that, once applied, cures into a hard, transparent layer on top of your paint. It chemically bonds with the factory clear coat, forming a hydrophobic and protective shield.

How It Works

  • Hydrophobic Properties: The molecular structure repels water, meaning rain and wash water bead off instead of clinging to the surface.
  • UV Resistance: It blocks harmful UV rays that cause fading and oxidation.
  • Chemical Protection: Resists acidic contaminants like bird droppings, bug splatter, and road salt.
  • Scratch Resistance: While not bulletproof, the hardened coating resists minor abrasions better than bare paint or wax.

The Application Process

We start with a thorough decontamination wash, followed by paint correction if needed. The ceramic is then applied in a controlled environment and left to cure for 12–24 hours, depending on the product.

The Result?

Your car will stay cleaner for longer, require less maintenance, and maintain a showroom shine for years — even through the tough North East winters.
