How long does an aviation ceramic coating last?

Professionally applied aviation ceramic coatings typically protect for two to five years, depending on flight hours, UV exposure, and maintenance. Scheduled ceramic maintenance visits keep the hydrophobic performance at peak throughout that period.

Does ceramic coating replace washing?

No, but it makes every wash faster and gentler. The hydrophobic surface sheds water, exhaust film, and contaminants, so routine cleaning requires less agitation and the paint stays cleaner between visits.

Does the aircraft need paint correction before coating?

Yes. Ceramic locks in whatever finish is beneath it, so we decontaminate and polish the paint first. That preparation is included in our coating process to guarantee proper bonding and a flawless result.
