At Stratton Motor Cars, where excellence and luxury meet the road, we understand the value of protecting your high-end vehicles. Our clients, owners of prestigious brands like Mercedes, Porsche, and Ferrari, demand nothing but the best in every aspect of car care. This is why we use advanced ceramic coatings, a top-tier protective solution that stands out in the automotive industry. In this blog, we delve into the science behind ceramic coatings and explain why they are a superior choice for safeguarding your luxury vehicle.

Ceramic coatings are a revolutionary product in automotive paint protection, primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), sourced from natural materials such as quartz and sand. When applied, this liquid polymer forms a chemical bond with the factory paint of the car, creating a layer of protection that is hard, durable, and hydrophobic.

• Hardness: Once cured, ceramic coatings create a surface that is significantly harder than the original paint finish. This hardness helps protect against minor scratches and swirl marks that can occur from washing or daily driving.
• Hydrophobicity: Ceramic coatings are highly hydrophobic, meaning they repel water. Water beads up and slides off easily, carrying dirt and grime with it. This makes maintaining your vehicle’s cleanliness easier and prevents staining from water spots.
• UV Protection: The coatings provide excellent UV protection, shielding the paint from harmful ultraviolet rays that can cause oxidation and fading over time.

Our ceramic coatings leverage advanced technology to provide unparalleled paint protection. Here’s what makes them superior:

1. Enhanced Chemical Structure: The proprietary formula includes a combination of silicon dioxide and additional additives that enhance durability and effectiveness. These ingredients ensure a tighter molecular bond, offering better protection and a longer lifespan than standard coatings.
2. Improved Clarity and Gloss: Our coatings not only protect; they also enhance the paint’s appearance, giving it a glass-like gloss that enhances the color depth and clarity of the vehicle’s exterior.
3. Self-Healing Technology: Some of our ceramic coatings feature self-healing properties that activate under heat. This means that fine scratches and swirls can vanish with a simple exposure to sunlight or heat, maintaining the flawless appearance of your car.

At Stratton Motor Cars, we offer a holistic approach to vehicle maintenance and enhancement:

1. Expert Application: Our trained professionals apply ceramic coatings with meticulous care, ensuring even coverage and maximum bond to the vehicle’s paint.
2. Routine Maintenance: Alongside protective coatings, we provide routine maintenance services using OEM original parts and the highest quality OE equivalents for cost-effective alternatives.
3. Performance Upgrades: We enhance your driving experience with RedStar Exhaust systems and RaceiQ Performance ECU tuning, optimizing your car’s power and sound to match its enhanced appearance.
