Ceramic coating is primarily made of silicon dioxide (SiOâ‚‚), also known as silica, which is derived from natural sources like quartz or sand. This silica-based liquid forms a strong, transparent, and durable protective layer when applied to your car’s paint. Some ceramic coatings also include titanium dioxide (TiOâ‚‚) and other additives to enhance hardness, UV resistance, and hydrophobic properties, creating a tough shield against contaminants, scratches, and environmental damage.
For years, traditional wax has been a popular choice for protecting vehicle paint. While it offers decent protection against environmental factors, it requires regular reapplication to maintain its effectiveness.
At Surrey Foam Kings, we offer the latest in paint protection—ceramic nano-coatings. This advanced technology uses ceramic nanoparticles to form a strong, lasting bond with your car’s paint. Unlike wax, ceramic coatings won’t wash away or break down easily and don’t need frequent reapplication.
Here’s how protection longevity compares:
-
Wax: Lasts 6–8 weeks
-
Synthetic Sealant: Lasts 5–6 months
-
Ceramic Coating: Provides durable protection for 2–5 years*, depending on application and maintenance

Ceramic coating is a powerful protection for your vehicle’s paint, but it’s important to understand its limits. It does not hide existing scratches or paint imperfections—those must be corrected first with professional paint correction before applying the coating.
While ceramic coatings protect against minor swirl marks and make your car easier to clean, they do not prevent deeper scratches or chips caused by external impacts. For maximum protection against stone chips, Paint Protection Film (PPF) remains the best option.
Ceramic coatings also help water bead and roll off the surface, but they can’t completely eliminate water spots or mineral deposits caused by dried water.
Regular washing is still essential to keep your car looking its best. With ceramic coating from Surrey Foam Kings, dirt and contaminants won’t stick as easily, making cleaning simpler and eliminating the need for frequent waxing.
It’s important not to skip proper paint correction before applying ceramic coating because the coating seals the paint exactly as it is. If the surface has scratches, swirl marks, or imperfections, the ceramic coating will lock them in place, making them more noticeable. Paint correction removes these flaws and smooths the surface, ensuring the coating bonds to a flawless, clean finish. This step maximizes the coating’s effectiveness, enhances the gloss and clarity, and ensures long-lasting protection and beauty for your vehicle’s paint.
