5 Critical Ceramic Coating Mistakes Costing You Money & Protection

Poor surface prep and rushed application destroy more ceramic coating jobs than anything else. After years in the car care industry, we see these same errors repeatedly costing enthusiasts both time and money. 💸

Here are the biggest culprits ruining ceramic coating performance: applying over contaminated paint (those tiny metal particles you can't see will cause failure), rushing the curing process (patience pays off with years of extra protection), and using the wrong maintenance products afterwards (some car shampoos actually strip ceramic coatings). The difference between a coating lasting 6 months versus 5 years often comes down to these fundamentals. Whether you're protecting a classic E-Type or your daily driver, getting these basics right means better gloss, easier cleaning, and genuine long-term value from your investment.
