WHAT IS A CERAMIC CAR COATING?
In today’s fast-paced world, keeping your car looking as pristine as the day you bought it can be challenging, especially if you’re juggling work, family, and a busy lifestyle. Ceramic coatings have become an increasingly popular solution for car owners who want their vehicles to maintain a showroom-quality finish without constant upkeep.
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior surfaces of a car. Unlike traditional waxes, which wear off quickly and require frequent reapplication, ceramic coatings chemically bond to the paint and form a
durable protective layer. This coating offers superior resistance to elements like UV rays, water, dirt, and road contaminants, making it a fantastic ceramic paint protection solution.
But not all ceramic coatings are created equal. Traditional SiO2 ceramic coatings were the gold standard for years, but advancements in technology have introduced self-healing coatings like Revivify’s CarbonX, which take paint protection to a whole new level.
What Makes Revivify’s CarbonX Different?
Revivify’s CarbonX isn’t just a ceramic coating; it’s a self-healing ceramic coating that uses cutting-edge technology to repair minor imperfections on its own. Here’s how it compares to traditional SiO2 ceramic coatings:
Self-Healing Properties
Traditional ceramic coatings protect against UV rays, dirt, and other environmental elements, but they don’t repair themselves. Any small scratches or swirls from washing, road debris, or accidental brushes remain visible.
Revivify CarbonX, on the other hand, has self-healing properties. When minor scratches or swirl marks appear, the coating can heal itself with the application of heat, often just from the sun or hot water. This feature is especially valuable for busy, high-end car owners who don’t have time to visit the detailer every time a scratch appears.
Superior Protection Against Rock Chips
Unlike traditional ceramic coatings, CarbonX offers some level of protection against rock chips and pitting. Although it’s not a full paint protection film (PPF), it does act as a sacrificial barrier that absorbs minor impacts, preventing chips in a way traditional SiO2 coatings can’t.
For example, a traditional ceramic coat on a car may protect against scratches, but it won’t do much against rock chips. CarbonX steps up in this area, offering protection that’s invaluable for those driving in areas with construction or gravel roads—common in and around Dripping Springs, Texas.
Superior Thickness
CarbonX is 10 microns thick per single layer, whereas traditional SiO2 ceramic coatings are 1-2 microns thick. By layering CarbonX you will get up to 30 microns of protection, which is about the same thickness as most automotive clear coats.
What this means to you is: With CarbonX you will get protection against chips and pitting, protection that no traditional ceramic coating can provide. While CarbonX is not the equivalent of PPF, it absorbs and reflects impacts similar to PPF. The best part is that CarbonX costs less than half compared to PPF.
Longevity and Durability
Despite the marketing hype of traditional SiO2 ceramic coatings which claim they last 8-10 years, in reality they generally last 2-3 years.
With its patented SiOX chemistry, Revivify’s CarbonX can provide effective protection for 6-7 years with proper maintenance.
For car owners who don’t want the hassle of reapplying coatings frequently, CarbonX is a long-term solution that keeps your car looking like new, no matter how busy your schedule is.
The Benefits of CarbonX Over Traditional Ceramic Coatings
Enhanced Aesthetics for Dark Paint Colors
CarbonX is particularly beneficial for vehicles with black, red, or other dark paint colors. Dark paint tends to show every chip, scratch, and swirl, and fixing these blemishes can be costly and time-consuming. CarbonX’s self-healing feature means you won’t have to worry about small scratches ruining your car’s appearance. For those who appreciate the elegance of a deep black or sleek red vehicle, CarbonX provides a solution that preserves that aesthetic effortlessly.
Return on Investment
Considering the cost and time savings, investing in CarbonX can be a wise decision, especially if you’re in the habit of upgrading cars every 2-3 years. Maintaining your car’s appearance with CarbonX not only keeps it looking new but can also increase its resale value. Vehicles that look well-cared-for typically have a higher market value, so your investment in CarbonX pays off if you decide to trade up for a new model down the line.
Car Wash Safe
If you’re constantly on the go, taking time to wash and wax your car is likely low on your priority list. CarbonX is car wash friendly, due to having graphene and carbon in its ingredients. That said, you can also hand wash most cars in 10 minutes, and trucks in 15 minutes with our complimentary wash kit. This coating is ideal for those who want ceramic-coated cars to stay cleaner for longer without investing hours into maintenance.
Proven Performance and Excellent Reviews
When making decisions, many of our customers check Google Reviews, just like you. Revivify CarbonX has consistently received positive feedback from car enthusiasts and owners who appreciate the superior protection, self-healing, and ease of maintenance. At Dripping Auto Pros, we’re proud to offer a product that stands out against other ceramic car coatings
Affordability Compared to Paint Protection Film (PPF)
For full protection with PPF, you’d be looking at a cost of around $7,000 for a pickup truck. In comparison, our Revivify CarbonX coating offers similar benefits at about half the cost—around $3,000. This makes CarbonX an affordable option for those who want ceramic paint protection similar to PPF without the high price tag.
Better For Satin and Matte Paint
CarbonX is the ideal paint protection for satin and matte paint. PPF is a good choice too; however if it needs to be removed or replaced due to a puncture or tear, there's the risk of damaging the paint when the adhesive is removed. Additionally, a traditional SiO2 ceramic coating cannot stop chips and will not heal swirls and light scratches like CarbonX. Overall it is a superior solution if you want real paint protection for satin and matte paint with minimal risk of damaging the paint.
How Does a Ceramic Coating Actually Work?
A ceramic coating bonds to your car’s clear coat at the molecular level. This forms a hard, slick barrier that prevents contaminants from embedding into the paint. Think of it as a ceramic clear coat for your vehicle. It’s highly resistant to chemicals, UV rays, and environmental hazards, which are all common in central Texas.
Unlike wax or sealant, ceramic coatings last for years, not months. The application process requires a clean, smooth surface, and we use a meticulous approach to ensure the coating is applied perfectly. When you invest in a ceramic coat for your car, you’re getting more than just protection—you’re enhancing the shine, depth, and gloss of your car’s paint, making it look as good, if not better, than the day you drove it off the lot.
