Comprehensive Guide to Ceramic Coating your RV
What is RV Ceramic Coating?
RV ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior surfaces of recreational vehicles to provide long-lasting protection and enhance the appearance of the vehicle. This coating creates a protective layer on the RV’s paint, fiberglass, gel coat, windows, wheels, and other exterior surfaces, offering several advantages over traditional wax or sealant products. Although Ceramic Coatings provide several benefits, it is important to weigh the benefits and and key considerations of an application before investing in a professional RV ceramic coating.
Benefits of RV Ceramic Coating
Protection Against Environmental Elements:
RV ceramic coatings provide a durable shield against various environmental contaminants such as UV rays, bird droppings, tree sap, road salts, and insect splatter. This protection helps prevent oxidation, fading, and other forms of damage caused by exposure to the elements.
Hydrophobic Properties:
One of the standout features of ceramic coatings is their hydrophobic nature. The coating creates a water-resistant surface, causing water to bead up and roll off. This property makes it easier to clean the RV, as dirt and contaminants are less likely to adhere to the surface.
Enhanced Aesthetics:
Ceramic coatings enhance the appearance of the RV by creating a glossy and reflective finish. The depth and clarity of the paint or gel coat are accentuated, giving the RV a vibrant and well-maintained look. A professionally applied coating can even provide a better-than-new shine to the exterior of your RV.
UV Resistance:
UV resistance is a crucial aspect of ceramic coatings. These coatings protect the RV’s exterior from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, preventing paint fading, discoloration, and degradation over time.
Ease of Cleaning:
The hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties of ceramic coatings make the RV easier to clean. Regular maintenance typically involves a simple rinse, reducing the need for aggressive scrubbing or the use of harsh chemicals.
Longevity:
Compared to traditional wax or sealant products, ceramic coatings offer longer-lasting protection. With proper application and maintenance, a ceramic coating can last for several years, providing ongoing benefits and reducing the frequency of reapplication. Our team of certified experts can apply coatings that are backed by an 18 to 36 month warranty with minimal maintenance.
Chemical Resistance:
RV ceramic coatings exhibit resistance to various chemicals and pollutants, including bird droppings, tree sap, and industrial fallout. This chemical resistance helps prevent etching and damage to the RV’s exterior surfaces.
RV Winter Storage Shield:
Ceramic coatings act as a robust barrier, protecting your RV’s exterior during winter storage. Although adding a physical cover to your RV in the winter months will maximize protection, a ceramic coating on it’s own provides a strong shield against snow, ice, and the corrosive effects of road salt, ensuring your RV emerges from hibernation in top condition.
Key Considerations Before Ceramic Coating your RV
Upfront Investment:
The initial cost of ceramic coating can be higher than traditional alternatives. However, considering the long-term benefits and reduced need for frequent reapplication, many RV enthusiasts find the investment worthwhile. Opting for a professional ceramic coating application comes with the peace of mind that the coating is applied correctly and backed by a strong warranty.
Surface Preparation Challenges:
Before applying ceramic coating, the RV’s surface must be thoroughly cleaned and prepared. This can be a time-consuming process, particularly for older RVs with existing paint damage or oxidation. The more damaged a surface, the higher the cost to prepare the surface for coating. Even brand-new RVs may arrive with defects from the factory or a dealer wash prior to delivery. Inspecting the surface reveal inconspicuous swirl marks or superficial scratches that will only be further emphasized with a ceramic coating. All defects must be addressed prior to application.
On-going Maintenance:
As a general rule, the higher the quality of a ceramic coating, the less maintenance required for the life-time of the coating. Even so, it is imperative to maintain the coating with regular washing and ceramic booster applications to maximize the life of the ceramic coating. Our experts are well versed in the individual maintenance guides for each type of coating and can guide you through the nuances of keeping your coating in optimal shape.
