How do I know if a ceramic coating is right for me?

Here at NC DETAIL, we firmly believe that all vehicles can benefit from a professionally installed ceramic coating. Especially in the hot East Bay Area summers, our vehicles suffer under the intense Diablo Valley heat! Beyond heat, a quality ceramic coating can protect your car from long-term damage caused by water spots, bird droppings, bug etchings, fading, and paint oxidation. If these factors matter to you, you should strongly consider having a ceramic coating applied to your vehicle.

Additionally, here are some situations to consider when deciding on a ceramic coating: Did you just buy a new or used car? In either case, it’s the perfect time to install a coating! TODAY is the best condition your car will ever be in (within reason). At this point, it makes the most sense to preserve your car's paint and protect it with a ceramic coating. There’s no better time than today!

Do you have a collector's car, vintage, or older vehicle? Great! It's the perfect time to apply a coating to lock in the integrity of the paint.
Do you spend a lot of time on the road commuting to work, school, or running errands? Perfect! A ceramic coating can add that additional layer of protection to guard against harsh road elements like brake dust, rail dust, industrial fallout, acid rain, tar, and more.
Does your car sit outside often and get exposed to the elements? A coating can provide the shield your car needs to stave off tree sap, pollen, and other environmental pollutants.

And how about this: Do you just LOVE your car? I'm sure you do! If you love your vehicle as much as we do, then there’s no better investment you can make (besides under-the-hood maintenance, of course) that says "I love you" to your car like a ceramic coating!

Now, on the flip side: While we would love for all vehicles to have a coating, there are certainly cases where it might not make sense, or you may simply not feel the need for a ceramic coating. Is your car a beater? A work truck? A farm truck? Is it a car you don't plan to keep for long? Is the car already significantly damaged? These are all instances where a ceramic coating might not be valuable, or you can't justify the cost. We completely understand!
