Ceramic Coatings: A Paint Protector and Enhancer


Chances are, if you own a vehicle, you have heard of the term "Ceramic Coatings". There is a lot of confusion in terms of what ceramic coatings are, and beliefs of what a ceramic coating is capable of.


Simply put, a ceramic coating can be defined as an additional protective layer of material applied to a surface. Generally, ceramic coatings are composed of one of two chemicals.


SiO2, Silicon Dioxide, or more commonly

known as "Quartz". This is by far the most

popular ingredient in todays ceramic

coatings. A variation of this chemical, and

solvents, make up many of the high end

coatings in the market including Ceramic

Pro 9H, Sonax CC36 Basecoat, and Cquartz UK 3.0. 


​TiO2, or "Titanium Dioxide"is another popular ceramic coating chemical. In our arsenal, it is only used in the top coat Ceramic Pro Light. 


Both of these chemicals are very hazardous, and can cause serious health problems when mishandled. 


In the car and automotive realm, when we discuss ceramic coatings, we are referring to their use on paint. Ceramic coatings increase the hardness and durability of an automotive paint surface. Ultimately, ceramic coatings are paint protection products. To which extent the surface hardness is increased by depends on several factors such as product being installed, how the product is installed, and original paint hardness.

Chemical and water resistance is a common

reason clients have their vehicles ceramic

coated. A ceramic coated vehicle is much

easier to clean, as there is a layer preventing

dirt from sticking. Many coatings feature the

"self cleaning effect", shown in this video.


Ceramic coatings are not only for protection. Many decide to get ceramic coatings for the enhancing effects it has on paint. After a ceramic coating install, paint is glossy, and slick to the touch. The vehicle presents its sapphire gloss wash after wax, for the duration of the coating.

​​​About Our Ceramic Coating Packages:


2 Year Ceramic Protection:

Our 2 year ceramic protection consist of two applications

of Cquartz UK 3.0. This semi-permanent ceramic coating

provides your vehicle's exterior paint with a sacrificial

layer of protection or “clearcoat”. Once this

polymer blended ceramic bonds with your

paint, it will have many benefits such as

increased resistance to: swirl marks,

paint etching, harsh chemicals, and

environmental factors. As the usual case

with ceramic coatings, gloss and

waterbeading are greatly improved. We are

also able to apply this coating to all surfaces at the request of the customer. Application time may vary between 1-4 hours, before paint correction time. This coating takes ~2 weeks to reach full chemical hardness, curing time.

Starting @$399.99 Plus Cost of Correction.


3 Year Ceramic Protection

Our 3 year ceramic protection involves an application of Sonax CC36. This two part ceramic coating last up to 36 months; hence the name.

It forms a flexible “shell” around your vehicles original paint, providing superior resistance against

environmental factors, waterspots, bird

droppings, car wash scratches and so

much more. This coating is extremely

hydrophobic, meaning it rejects water

from bonding to the coating. We have

tested this product in real world settings,

and meets all client needs when it comes

to a ceramic coating. Application time varies between 2-4 hours. This ceramic coating is ready to be released 1 hour after application, and takes 3 days at +15*c to reach maximum hardness.

Starting @$699.99 Plus Cost of Correction.


5 Year Ceramic Protection

Our 5 year ceramic protection is a long lasting protection product we at Toronto Buffing Inc offer. It involves two applications of a

product known as Gtechniq Crystal Serum Lite.

This coating is rated at the 9H level of hardness.

This particular coating is argued one of the best

ceramic coatings available to the public. When

incorrectly applied, this coating can only be

removed with aggressive polishing. This coating protects your paint from chemicals ranging from the pH Level 2- pH Level2. Benifits include swirl and scratch resistance, permanent gloss, dirt repelancy, and so much more. Application time for this coating is set at 3-5 hours.
