Ceramic Coating Benefits in the Winter Months
We prepared this Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake for Winter with multiple ceramic coating technologies on the paintwork, glass, wheels, and interior.
As winter sets in, your trusty vehicle faces a barrage of challenges – road salt, icy conditions, and the overall harsh winter environment. But fear not! Today we’re going to briefly talk about why ceramic coating before or during winter makes sense.
The Benefits:
1. Shield Against the Salt Assault: Winter means salt on the roads, and your car takes the brunt of it. Ceramic coatings form an invisible barrier, protecting your vehicle's paint from corrosive salt, ensuring it stays glossy and corrosion-free.
Ceramic coating makes winter washing easier, with many people finding a contactless wash enough for interim cleans.
2. The ceramic coating makes washing and maintenance easier due to its slickness, meaning cleaning your vehicle doesn’t take as long and water usage is reduced. Many owners report success with contactless washing during the winter, where you can simply snowfoam the vehicle, let it dwell, and rinse off to reveal a very clean looking car!
The beading here illustrates the ceramic coating layer working. It is repelling the water that hits it, along with a good amount of dirt. We recently ceramic coated this VW with our 5-Year Ceramic Coating Package and it provides a level of ‘self-cleaning’ in the winter months.
3. Ice and Snow Repellent: Ever struggled to remove stubborn ice from your car's windscreen? Ceramic coatings make this a breeze by reducing ice adhesion. Snow slides off effortlessly, saving you time and sparing you from the winter morning blues (and frosty fingers!).
4. UV Defense All Year Round: Winter sun may not feel as harsh, but those UV rays are still at play. Ceramic coatings act as a year-round shield, protecting your vehicle’s paint from the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays, maintaining that glossy shine.
This Jaguar F-Type, finished in British Racing Green Metallic, benefits from UV protection after being corrected and protected at JR Automotive.
5. Long-Term Investment: Think of ceramic coating as an investment in your vehicle's future. It's not just about winter protection; it's a year-round commitment to preserving your car's aesthetics and resale value.
In conclusion, ceramic coating your vehicle before or during winter is giving it an extra layer of defence against the cold, and a smart move for maintaining your vehicle’s condition despite the challenges of winter.
It’s a common misconception that Winter is a bad time to coat a car. It is actually quite the opposite, as many of the fantastic benefits are felt during the winter months!
