What is a Ceramic Coating? A Ceramic Coating (such as Holy Grail, System X®, and Pearl Nano) is a liquid polymer that is applied by hand to the exterior of a vehicle. The coating chemically bonds with the vehicle’s factory paint, creating a layer of protection. A Ceramic Coating is not a substitute for Paint Protection Film, which provides a more comprehensive for of defensive. Rather, it is a premium wax alternative.? A Ceramic Coating creates a permanent or semi-permanent bond with a vehicle’s paint, meaning that it does not wash away or break down and does not require repeated application every few months. What Does a Ceramic Coating Do? A Ceramic coatings are specifically designed to protect your vehicle from fading, oxidation, UV damage, bird dropping stains, bug splatter stains, chemical etching, caustic chemicals and other environmental hazards that can diminish the look and value of your vehicle’s exterior surfaces. Most pro-grade coatings cure to a hardness of 9H. There isn’t currently a standardized test that will provide a hardness of over 9H.
