Explaining the Benefits of a Nano Ceramic Coating
When you stop to think about it, a is truly a mind-boggling solution. This revolutionary liquid SiO2 and Polymer-based solution infuses nanotechnology that fills those microscopic imperfections found on porous surfaces like glass, clear coatings, carbon fiber, and plastic trim.
So, what exactly does a do? Well, quite a lot to be honest. This is what we’ll explore in the information below. We’ll explain the science of nanotechnology and how it relates to professional coatings, how it works to protect your and other surfaces against , chemicals, scratching, and damage.
We’ll also dive into some of the common myths about these coatings, so you can make a smart and informed decision to determine if this is for you.
What is Nanotechnology?
To quote the legendary Jedi Master Yoda – “size matters not.” This epic quote from The Empire Strikes Back has been used in and out of context to describe a fundamental concept that holds true – just because something is small, doesn’t mean it’s not powerful. Except for a microfiber towel for drying – then bigger is always better.
This describes the power of nano technology. It is an engineering science that was introduced as a concept during a conference at Caltech in 1959. It became practical in 1981, and today, it’s used in defense aerospace, communications, and of course, the car care industry. Nanotechnology develops solutions for items smaller than 100 nanometers.
So, how big is a nanometer?
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. That size is hard to comprehend, so here are some visual cues. An inch measures 25,400,000 nanometers. One piece of paper is nearly 100,000 thick. Or how about this one, let’s say that one marble measured (1) nanometer. On that scale, the planet Earth would measure (1) meter. Nanotechnology is infused in a professional grade and some DIY coatings, but also high-quality paint protection film like Kavaca.
What is a Nano Coating?

What Are the Benefits of a Nanoceramic Coating?
Applying a like is a proactive way to protect your vehicle from harmful agents that can damage it, lead to oxidation, corrosion, and eventually the development of rust. Once it’s cured, it provides multiple benefits including the following.
Blocks Chemical Stains
Chemical Stains are both unsightly and quite difficult to remove from a ‘s . With the addition of a , your car adds defense against most common chemical stains that otherwise stain unprotected surfaces.
In the event a strong chemical meets a protective , the blocks it in its tracks. This resistant technology helps alleviate costly procedures and enables otherwise harmful chemicals from penetrating into the and damaging the beautiful that lies underneath the protected .
Reduces & Oxidation
Preventing and premature oxidation are coatings bread and butter. These coatings are specifically formatted to reflect ultraviolet rays and enable the coats to both look better and stay better protected from the harsh rays of the sun.
typically occurs because of lack of maintenance or upkeep especially in coastal areas that have high salinity in the air. The salt, sun and humidity all contribute to harmful damage over time. However, with the addition of coatings, the coat acts as an invisible shield between contaminants penetrating to the .
After , the vehicles paintwork is flat, free of debris, and scratches. Essentially, it in tip-top shape and ready for a that cures at . That’s what accomplishes. This comprised of reflects and in turn prevents oxidation from occurring in a properly maintained . Think of nanoceramic coatings as a layer of sunscreen that resists on the vehicle.
Improves Cleaning Ability
If you’ve spent long hours meticulously cleaning your vehicle, raise your hand. The ritual of car care is truly an appreciated task that’s embraced by passionate car enthusiasts everyday across the globe. But there comes a time when this process becomes tedious, daunting, and quite frankly – frustrating.
With the addition of a nano- to a vehicle, the adds the of reduced cleaning times. Thanks to the finish of the formulation, dirt and grime easily wipe off a protected far easier than a non-protected .
What once took scrubbing and harsh chemicals to remove built on dirt, now easily washes off with water from a hose.
Amplifies Shine
If keeping a vehicle in elite condition with a finish is important to you, then coatings are a great, low maintenance option to keep that glossy coat shining for the long run. All the standard sets finish with shines and this keeps cars looking great for months and years to come.
The thin layer of transparent glass created by the hardening of not only blocks and amazing , but it also amplifies the luster of what’s underneath. This is a major reason why polishing, treatment, and prep work is required prior to application.
Here is a practical example. If you apply a high-quality glass on a that contains scratches, swirl marks, stains, and other damage, those imperfections will be amplified. However, if you have a professional detailer repair those imperfections first, that nearly perfect will appear glossy, deeper, and rich.
How Does a Nano Coating Compare with Car Wax?
Comparing with a nano is not apples and oranges; it’s closer to apples to a perfectly cooked Rib Eye from The Golden Steer in Las Vegas. From the hardness of the coat, the curing process and the warranties provided, the comparisons between these two options are night and day. Let’s explore a few in the info below.
Nano Ceramic Coating Hardness vs. Wax Hardness
One of the biggest differences between and coatings is the level of hardness provided. This means that, relative to , the is substantially less rigid and thus less protective. This is because of how the hardness of is provided.
Natural carnauba is the main ‘ingredient’ that contributes to the hardness that provides. It’s from a palm tree that is native to Brazil, that secretes on the leaves to protect it from that intense tropical sunlight. Once it cures, it provides a hardness that is rated between two and four on the reliable pencil scale (with 1 being soft and 9 being as hard as quartz).
With nano- coatings provided by , we have developed a that ranks on the pencil hardness scale as a 9. This incredibly hard coat thus is incredibly hard to rub off and can only be removed by thorough abrasion.
Compare our pro-grade coat to your run-of-the-mill and many waxes wash or wipe off after just a few months. This added harness from nano- coatings provide long term protection backed by warranties.
Warranties
Ever seen a with a lifetime warranty on the label? The answer – a hard NOPE. Synthetic or natural itself can hold up for a few months, however, there are just too many unknown variables that simply eliminate the potential of a warranty. How much or was applied? Was it removed too soon or maybe the was not clean – which leads to poor results? Those are all legitimate questions that prohibit any warranty protection with waxes.
At , all the packages are backed by a warranty of at least six months (for introductory packages) all the way to lifetime warranties for Gold packages. This level of confidence in the product exemplifies the difference in protective capabilities over long periods of time. Plus, we offer specialized formulations like , made specifically for windows and windshields.
Curing Process
Another distinctive factor that separates waxes from coatings is the curing process on . One of the benefits of using a or is the common individual can apply this by hand. This results in lower labor costs but also opens the door for common application mistakes that typically cause more problems down the line.
A high-quality nanocoating is applied by specially trained technicians and cured in a controlled environment. This controlled environment allows a perfect temperature and climate that facilitates the coat to properly bond with the . Our solutions can be applied to , for the ultimate shield of protection.
