**The Unbreakable Bond: Understanding Ceramic Pro Coating**

Ceramic pro coating is a remarkable substance that makes it stable and hard to break, much like the unbreakable bond between you and James before the operation. The secret lies in its molecular structure, which is composed of ceramic particles bonded to each other and trapped in tiny holes on the surface of the paint.

These ceramic particles covalently bond to the ceramic coating on top of the paint as it's applied, effectively fastening the ceramic coating to the paint with millions of tiny covalently bonded anchors. This unique bonding process makes Ceramic Pro incredibly hard and resistant to scratches.

**The Mohs Scale: Measuring Hardness**

You might be familiar with the Mohs scale, which measures hardness by how resistant a material is to scratching. However, when it comes to ceramic coatings like Ceramic Pro, we need to think about scratch resistance, which is slightly different. The standard for scratch resistance was started by woodworking, as most scratch-resistant coatings were originally useful in protecting soft wood with a hard coating.

Ceramic Pro has a scratch resistance of 9H, meaning that most tiny particles that would ruin the finish don't have any effect on the ceramic coating. This is why Ceramic Pro guarantees its coating will last at least two years with a simple application, and forever with a heavy-duty application.

**Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Properties**

When water makes contact with a surface, the angle of contact has a lot to do with hydrophobic or hydrophilic quality. A higher contact angle means it's more hydrophobic. In fact, scientists have known about this phenomenon for at least two centuries. The lotus leaf is a well-known example of a hydrophobic material that protects the water-dwelling plant from becoming waterlogged.

**The Power of Surface Chemistry and Nano Patterns**

Surface chemistry determines the characteristics of materials used in ceramic coatings like Ceramic Pro. The shape of a surface can also amplify an effect, such as creating nano patterns on its surface to increase the contact angle with a droplet. This amplifies the effect in making the surface super hydrophobic.

The nano patterns created by Ceramic Pro coating make it super hydrophobic, think of the surface like tiny little towers that repel water strongly and can encapsulate unsavory particles like dirt, bird crap, smooshed bugs, tar, and even spray paint. This means you can hose off debris without scrubbing.

**Heat Resistance**

Ceramic Pro is also heat-resistant up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit (635°C), which makes it ideal for protecting brake calipers, wheels, or exhaust systems without melting off like wax would.

In conclusion, Ceramic Pro coating is a remarkable substance that combines hardness, scratch resistance, hydrophobic properties, and heat resistance.

toilet or the kind you get in your car's paint nobody likes them so how do you prevent them well first you gotta make sure you're bigger than all your friends and if that's not possible maybe get new friends you don't think it's very funny to dunk your head in a toilet next you got paint correction so we're not just gonna talk about it we're gonna have a professional fix the paint on this ten-year-old car that I may or may not rely on to get to work if this was one of those metal art projects where they take the grinder and they kind of make the different designs on the metal I would say you freakin nailed it then he's gonna protect you a ceramic Pro product and process for protecting that sweet sweet paint job it tells the world I'm somebody before we talk about how to correct your car's paint let's talk about world swirl marks come from anyway they're actually made up of tons a superfine microscopic scratches that you see when lights reflecting off the edges of this scratches all those tiny reflections end up looking like a spiderweb on your paint especially on black dark colored cars those scratches are made by swiping tiny particles simple as dust or dirt across the paint surface most thing when it's dry but also when it's wet that can happen all sorts of ways dirty wash myths or car covers drawing Foust is in the dust and your friends trunklid dirty car dusters using the wrong polishing products and improper use of a buffer in truth no standard clear coat or paint is tough enough to resist scratching an environmental contaminants forever the most scale of mineral hardness these coatings are usually only rated between two and four then the scales based on one to ten on a microscopic level your car's finish is full of open pores that's why water and grit seems to stick to it while all the bad stuff and bird poop damages it when you wipe anything at all across your car's soft pores paint it's likely it's gonna add tiny scratches and eventually they all add up to swirls how quickly it scratches and damages and shows up depends how careful you are how well your paints protected fun fact that I learned from experience the emotional damage of getting a swirly from a bully doesn't show up until it's too late and then it's really expensive to fix so the first thing you gotta do is clean everything off the paint dirt dust bird crap what is with all these birds Oh make sure you get bird poop off the car really quick if it's not removed consistently it starts embedding into the pores of the paint but you clean it first that's simple enough you also gotta get that last coat of wax off if you have one soaps designed specifically for washing your car try to balance the need to clean it and remove oils with the benefit of not removing all the old wax because that's what protects the paint underneath but we're gonna correct the paint so we can use a more alkaline soap to break down those lipids it's a pretty basic concept that's a pH joke right I don't know I don't know if it'll get a reaction well that would get rid of the old wax grease and Road stuff and any dirt that was on the car there's another step you might have heard of and that's using a clay bar it's actually pretty cool so when you clay a car you're removing a lot of the contaminants on top it's really important that the paint's as smooth as possible when we go to work on it if not you're gonna be working against those contaminants on top of the paint before you perfect the paint you gotta get rid of the imperfections I want to stick in it it makes synthetic or natural clay bars and they make clay rags - what they do is grab those tiny abrasive particles as they rub over the paint pretty cool now before we protect the paint we got to smooth it out and that's what they call correction all cars have tiny swirl marks like your underpants even cars right off the line and it all varies on the car and the paint and when it was made but usually clear coat thickness is summer from about 40 to 120 microns thick thicker it is deeper scrape can be without getting down to the paint but if we minimize the edges of the imperfections we can keep the light from bouncing off at those sharp sharp angles and that means the imperfections are all been invisible the light won't get cut up when it hits it because there's no sharp edges left for it to bounce on nice and smooth now to protect it the best known method for protecting your car's paint probably the most widely used is applying wax Automotive waxes are mostly made with beeswax paraffin wax mineral wax synthetic wax are carnuba wax which is one of the most popular types carnuba comes off the palm leaves as rock hard yellow flakes when you're applying carnuba or any other type of wax the large molecules it's made of are being spread out to form a protective layer over the top of the car's paint and that helps keep contaminants from even touching the finish wax is also hydrophobic which means water beads up on the surface and it runs screaming away like an eyeball on a milling in factory actually just means it repels water unfortunately even though it's adding a protective layer to the paint the act of waxing itself can add even more microscopic scratches to it penny dust settles on the surface during the process or if the applicator isn't perfectly clean or if the wax hardens up you need to press harder to buff it off you can end up with swirl marks well crap and this brings us to ceramic coating a ceramic is a non metallic solid material making up an inorganic compound of metal nonmetal or metalloid atoms primarily held in ionic and covalent bonds the crystallinity of ceramic materials can range from highly oriented to crystalline vitrified and often completely amorphous it's a mix of elements with strong bonds that's strong yet no matter what they're called most of these coatings contain silicon dioxide which is more commonly known as silica and if you don't know anything about silica I got a little secret for you it's also found in quartz which has a Mohs scale rating of about seven ceramic pro uses what they call a nano ceramic formula this proprietary mix and application method uses silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide to create a flexible barrier between the environment and a car's paint the molecules of ceramic coating then bond to each other covalently ends up being a covalent bond is one of the strongest in nature the molecules are actually sharing electron pairs these electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms when they share electrons is what makes them so stable and hard to break kind of like the unbreakable bond between me and James before the operation and where those big hunky mom accuse of wax sit above the cars paint to protect it the molecules and ceramic pros small enough to stick down inside the little spaces

melting off like wax would imagine hosing off brake dust without scrubbing that is awesome I can't tell you how crazy was that sooner is almost 10 years old it looked like it's brand-new look an eye get a new coat paint then we beat the crap out of and hosed it down and then it all just washed off I know people are like man I don't need to clean this car I just beat up anyways well now you get to
