The Chemistry Behind It: Why Applying Wax Before Ceramic Coating Isn't Ideal

Have you ever wondered why automotive enthusiasts advise against applying wax before ceramic coating? It's not just a matter of preference; there's scientific reasoning behind it. In this blog, we'll unravel the chemistry behind automotive care and explain why using wax before ceramic coating isn't the ideal approach. Plus, we'll introduce you to our ceramic coating services, which offer superior protection and longevity for your vehicle.

Understanding the Chemistry

To comprehend the issue, it's essential to understand the chemistry of wax and ceramic coatings:

Wax: Traditional wax provides a protective layer by sitting on the surface of your car's paint. It offers some protection against UV rays, minor scratches, and contaminants.

Ceramic Coating: Ceramic coatings bond with the paint at a molecular level, forming a protective layer that is hydrophobic, UV-resistant, and more durable than wax.

The Conflict: Wax vs. Ceramic Coating

Applying wax before ceramic coating can create conflicts due to the fundamental differences in their properties:

Bonding: Wax creates a barrier on the paint's surface, making it difficult for the ceramic coating to bond effectively.

Durability: Ceramic coatings are designed to offer long-lasting protection, while wax tends to degrade more quickly, requiring frequent reapplication.

Performance: The hydrophobic properties of ceramic coatings can be hindered by the wax layer, diminishing their water-repelling capabilities.
