CERAMIC COATINGS
On a microscopic level paintwork isn't actually flat, there’s all sorts of abrasions which grime and water can stick to. As the water or contaminant molecules cling on, the car gets dirtier and dirtier, not to mention harder to clean without inflicting more and more swirl marks.
The tight-knit molecules in a ceramic coating however, create an impermeable layer that smooths out these abrasions. First of all, this levels the optical finish making, it look deeper and glossier (much in the same way as a wax does) but crucially, it offers nothing for the grime to stick to. This means that contaminants will either slip straight off of the surface, or simply sit on top without being allowed to hold fast. It’s what makes surfaces that have been coated much easier to clean during routine maintenance. Because they're impermeable to water and gasses, ceramic coatings will also slow down the
