5 Common Questions About Ceramic Coatings

To help you make the best choices for your boats protection, we’re answering four of the most common questions asked about ceramic coatings. 

1. Is it possible to remove a ceramic coating without harming the paint?  

Absolutely! While some believe ceramic coatings are permanent, they can be safely removed without damaging the paint.

2. How long does ceramic coating last? 

This depends on factors such as usage, location, and exposure to UV and saltwater. Generally: 

CS 7 Micron Coating: Ideal for most yacht surfaces, providing strong, cost-effective protection. 

CS 10 Micron Coating: Designed for high-use areas, offering extended durability. 

3. Do ceramic coatings make cleaning easier? 

Yes! A ceramic-coated surface repels dirt, salt, and other contaminants, making cleaning much quicker and requiring fewer aggressive chemicals. With regular rinsing and gentle washing, a yacht can stay looking pristine with minimal effort. 

4. Will ceramic coatings crack, peel, or turn yellow over time? 

No, high-quality ceramic coatings are designed to remain clear and durable. Unlike waxes or polymers, they don’t degrade under UV exposure and won’t crack or peel when applied correctly. 

5. Can I apply a ceramic coating myself, or do I need a professional? 

For the best and longest-lasting results, professional application is highly recommended. Trained technicians ensure proper surface preparation, precise application, and optimal curing, maximising the coating’s durability and performance. 

To maintain and extend the life of your ceramic coating, we also recommend using CeraShield’s pH-neutral aftercare products, which help protect your paint and maintain the high-gloss shine of your yacht.
