How Do You Remove Ceramic Coating?

A CERAMIC COATING is one of the most effective ways to protect your vehicle’s paint against UV rays, acid rain, bug spray, and other impurities. It provides a physical layer on top of the paint that repels rain and water while also preventing dirt and grime from clinging to the surface. What if you want to remove a ceramic coating from your car? This blog will reveal how to remove a ceramic coating on your vehicle.

What Does “Ceramic Coating” Mean?

A ceramic coating is a semi-permanent or permanent coating applied to the exterior of your vehicle to protect it against damage caused by the elements.

It’s a nanoscopic paint treatment that’s applied as a liquid but dries to form a hard protective layer over your car’s paint. It is mainly made up of silicon dioxide (SiO2), found in natural resources like quartz and sand. The chemicals create a hydrophobic (water-repellent) effect when they bond with your car’s paint.

How To Remove A Ceramic Coating From Your Car?

Other methods for removing ceramic from your vehicle exist. These are the two most frequent methods for removing ceramic with minimal damage to the original paint, and many expert detailers widely use them.

Use Specialized Chemicals 

CERAMIC COATINGS are resistant to a wide range of chemicals. A chemical stripper is used to break away the bond between the coating and the surface to which it is applied. Chemical strippers are often created from strong acids or bases and are capable of removing even the toughest coatings. They can, however, be harmful when used. As a result, many car owners prefer to go to auto detailing centers where expert detailers are well-trained to remove ceramic coatings using chemicals.

Polishing

Most expert detailers agree that using a polishing compound and orbital polishers is the best way to remove a ceramic coating. The polishing thanks to its capacity to ‘cut’ through the resistant covering until the clear coating is reached is by far the easiest method. It does, however, take polishing knowledge and the ability to recognize when you’ve cut through the ceramic coating – but not too far into the clear coat.

Why Would You Want To Remove Your Ceramic Coating?

There are several reasons that car owners want to remove their ceramic coating. Three typical ones we see a lot are:

A Poorly Installed Ceramic Coating

High spots, uneven thickness, retained dirt and contaminants, hazing of reflections, and overall poor finish and quality can all be caused by this inaccuracy. Although a bad ceramic coating application will not harm your paint, it will be ineffective.

A Low Quality Ceramic Coating

If not adequately protected, even the top products will decay and lose their qualities over time. Also, less expensive or improperly ceramic coating products will wear down faster.

Impacts From Environmental Hazards

Like Humble Crew Detailing mentioned above, Ceramic coatings, like paint, can be scratched and damaged. Chemical attacks, UV rays, and water resistance are the factors that may have an influence on the car coating. Scratches will almost likely reach the clear coat and beyond because the ceramic layer is only a few microns thick.
