Ceramic coatings are commonly available in two forms: spray ceramic coatings and bottle ceramic coatings. here is the brake down
Ceramic Coating Spray • Application: Spray ceramic coatings are typically easier and quicker to apply. They are designed for convenience and often involve spraying onto a surface and buffing with a microfiber cloth. • Durability: Sprays usually have a shorter lifespan (3–6 months) compared to bottled coatings. They are less concentrated and contain lower levels of SiO₂ (silicon dioxide). • Uses: Ideal for DIY enthusiasts and as a maintenance topper for professional-grade ceramic coatings. They enhance gloss and hydrophobicity without requiring intensive prep. • Cost: Generally more affordable and designed for periodic reapplication.
Ceramic Coating in a Bottle • Application: Bottled ceramic coatings are more concentrated and require careful application with an applicator pad. The process involves surface prep, curing, and often multiple layers for optimal performance. • Durability: High durability (1–5+ years) depending on the product. These coatings create a strong chemical bond with the surface for long-term protection. • Uses: Preferred for professional-grade results or those seeking long-term protection. They offer superior scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and hydrophobic properties. • Cost: Higher upfront cost due to better quality and longer-lasting results.
