"Unmasking the Truth: Dealership Coatings vs. Professional Coatings"

When it comes to protecting your car's paint, there are a variety of options available on the market. One of the most popular options that many dealerships offer is a so-called ceramic coating. However, it's important to understand that not all ceramic coatings are created equal, and some dealership offerings are actually a wax or sealant rather than a true ceramic coating.

What is a Revivify Self-Healing Coating?

Revivify Self-Healing Coating offered Exclusively at Zeigers Auto Detailing is a silicone based coating 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 with excellent paint protection benefits. Unlike traditional ceramic coatings, Revivify is highly durable, rivals paint protection film and can last for several years. It provides a high level of protection against environmental hazards like UV rays, bird droppings, rock chips, acid rain and self healing minor scratches. It also gives the car a glossy finish, enhancing its appearance.

Dealership Ceramic Coatings: Are They Really Ceramic Coating?

Many dealerships offer what they call a ceramic coating as an add-on service when you purchase a new car. However, it's important to note that these dealership offerings may not be true ceramic coatings. In many cases, what dealerships are actually offering is a wax or paint sealant.

A paint sealant is a synthetic product that provides a high level of shine and a decent amount of protection against environmental hazards. However, it does not offer the same level of durability as a true ceramic coating. Paint sealants typically need to be reapplied every few months, whereas a ceramic coating can last for several years.

Why the Confusion?

The confusion often arises because some dealerships use the term "ceramic coating" to describe their wax or paint sealants. This can be misleading for consumers, who may believe they are getting a true ceramic coating when in fact they are getting a less durable product.

What Should You Do?

If you're considering getting a ceramic coating for your car, it's important to do your research. Ask the dealership for more information about the product they are offering. If it needs to be reapplied frequently, it's likely a wax or sealant rather than a true ceramic coating.

You may also want to consider getting a ceramic coating from a certified professional rather than a dealership. Certified professionals specialize in this service and are likely to offer a higher quality product like Zeigers Auto Detailing.

In conclusion, while dealership services can offer some level of protection and shine for your car, they may not offer the same level of durability as a true ceramic coating. Always do your research and ask questions to ensure you're getting the product you believe you're paying for.
