It is general knowledge that you need to wash your ride regularly and maybe wax it from time to time to keep the dirt off. But does it make sense to pay extra for a ceramic coating? Warped Perception explains this in a very informative video.
The 20-minute film goes into detail about the advantages of car coatings and provides a fair “before/after” comparison that lets you see the difference with your own eyes. The author starts off by going to a dirt field and doing some donuts there, and then splashes his car with some specially prepared liquid mud. He then scrubs it all off, applies the coating and repeats the tests to compare results.
As a neat bonus, the video demonstrates the ceramic layer under a microscope, explaining why it looks the way it does and how it protects the paint from dirt and scratches.
