A good wax or ceramic coating repels rain, mud, and dirt. Unlike wax or factory paint, the ceramic coating does a better job of protecting the exterior of the vehicle. The best vehicle coating product has hydrophobic properties and will make water and rain bead instead of a pool on the surface. Mud and acid rain or salt splashed on the vehicle slide off the smooth surface without leaving a stain. The same goes for snow, bird droppings, or ice as they roll off the vehicle without sticking to its surface. Prevent UV damage, rust, and oxidation. For the most part, leaving your vehicle in the sun for too long tends to cause the vehicle’s painted surface to fade and even crack. The ultraviolet rays of the sun have a destructive effect on the vehicle’s surface. Many ceramic coating brands prevent this damage as well as other forms of erosion such as rust and oxidation.

Generally speaking faded or chalky gelcoats can be restored. The finished result will depend on the extent of the UV damage but machine polishing will certainly make a difference. Sometimes sanding and polishing may be required to achieve an effective result. We are always happy to take a look and assess what might be able to be achieved.

Over time UV can slightly change the colour of gelcoat finishes so if graphics have been on the surface for a long time it may not be possible to get these areas to completely disappear. Saying that, sanding and polishing does often improve the look and can be quite effective. Our technicians can perform a test spot to see what can be achieved.

Applying a Ceramic coating will help prevent this from happening.
Applying ceramics will certainly help your RV/Motorhome stay cleaner for longer and will assist in ease of cleaning but remember the only way to ensure that things such as dust/grime and pollen don’t accumulate and bond to the roof is with regular cleaning and maintenance. Periodic washing is still the best defence against lichen and black mould spotting, and having a ceramic coating applied makes this much easier.
