Frequently asked questions
What is a ceramic coating?
A ceramic coating is a clear, glass-like layer that protects your car’s paint. It makes your car shiny, keeps dirt and water off, and blocks the sun. It’s much stronger than wax and helps your car stay clean and look new with less effort.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
A ceramic coating can last for years, not just weeks like wax. Most coatings last 2 to 5 years, and some even longer with proper care. Washing your car the right way helps it last. It’s a smart choice if you want long-term shine and protection with less work.
How much is a ceramic coating?
Does a ceramic coating stop rock chips?
No. A ceramic coating is not intended to stop rock chips. PPF (paint protection film) is designed for that purpose.
Will a ceramic coating stop water spots?
No. Water spots are insidious. They contain calcium and magnesium, and when activated by heat, they etch into whatever surface they are on.
A ceramic coating can prevent the water spots from etching into your paint, as long as you dry your vehicle immediately.
Which ceramic coatings contain the most SiO2?
While specific percentages can vary, professional grade ceramic coatings generally have a higher concentration of SiO2 (silicon dioxide) than DIY coatings.
Some professional coatings can contain upwards of 80% or more SiO2, while DIY coatings may range from the 70% to 80% range.
Factors like the type of SiO2 and other ingredients can also affect performance, so it’s not just about the raw percentage.
How much SiO2 is in the coating is not a useful measurement of how good the coating is, as there are other active ingredients that are equally important.
If someone claims that their ceramic coating has the highest level of SiO2 in it, they do not understand the chemistry that goes into adhesion, hydrophobics, strength, and durability.

not all ceramic coatings are the same
2-3 year DIY ceramic coatings may wear off in months, while professional grade coatings typically last for 5 years or longer.
Some are easier to maintain, while others resist scratches better. Some have stronger UV blocking properties, and others adhere to the paint better.
There are two ceramic coatings that have self-healing technology. Dripping Auto Pros is certified in both.
Professional coatings are applied in controlled conditions by trained experts, while store-bought ones are usually weaker and don’t bond as well.
If you want real protection, shine, and long-term value, it’s worth choosing a professional-grade coating over a cheaper DIY option. You really do get what you pay for.
