These types of products include ceramic soaps, ceramic sprays, ceramic waxes and ceramic coatings. With all of the fancy marketing and the constant use of the word \u201cceramic\u201d it is hard to figure out the difference between these products.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the food industry where the USDA regulates the use of the word \u201corganic,\u201d there is no regulation on the word \u201cceramic\u201d in the protective coating industry. This leads to a very liberal use of the word, which makes it extremely confusing for the consumer. What makes a product a ceramic is the use of silicon-based polymers such as SiO2 (silicon dioxide), silsesquioxane, or silica, to name a few. A product only needs to contain .01% of one of these silicon-based polymers to be considered a \u201cceramic\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To help solve this dilemma we want to discuss the key differences between a \u201cceramic\u201d spray and a true ceramic coating. These differences include: <\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 0;padding-left: 0\" class=\"normal testing-list\">\n<li style=\"border-top: 2px solid #333333\">Percentage of Active Ingredient<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<li>Formulation<\/li>\n<li>Price<\/li>\n<li>Durability\/Protection<\/li>\n<li>Gloss &amp; Hydrophobic Qualities<\/li>\n<li>Application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cell small-12 large-5\" style=\"padding-left: 1.5rem\">\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;background-color: #fafafa;padding: 1.5rem\"><strong>DOWNLOAD<\/strong><br \/>Get this article as a completely free print-friendly PDF.<br \/>\n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.glidecoat.com\/downloads\/Everything You Need to Know about Ceramic Coatings and Ceramic Sprays.pdf\" title=\"Download Article - Everything You Need to Know About Ceramic Coatings and Ceramic Sprays\" style=\"margin-top: 1.5rem\">Download<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-container full\">\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x align-right\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 large-3 page-timeline-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-10 large-9 page-description-container no-padding\">\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glidecoat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/10\/ceramic-spray-vs-coatings-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ceramic Spray vs Ceramic Coatings\" style=\"padding-bottom: 48px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-container full\">\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-4 large-3 page-timeline-container join\">\n<div class=\"page-timeline\">PERCENTAGE OF ACTIVE INGREDIENT<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-8 large-9 page-description-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 large-9\">\n<p>\nThe first key difference between a \u201cceramic\u201d spray and a ceramic coating is the percentage of silicon-based polymers (active ingredient) in the formulation. The active ingredient is the workhorse in a product that provides gloss, protection and hydrophobics. Most \u201cceramic\u201d spray products on the market contain between 1%-13% of the active ingredient, whereas ceramic coatings contain 20-65%. This depends on the brand and type of coating. Generally automotive coatings will be on the lower end of this scale whereas marine and RV will be higher.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-container full\">\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-4 large-3 page-timeline-container join\">\n<div class=\"page-timeline\">FORMULATION<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-8 large-9 page-description-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 large-9\">\n<p>The second key difference is the formulation used for a \u201cceramic\u201d spray compared to a ceramic coating. Most, if not all, \u201cceramic\u201d sprays are water-based formulas. These formulas generally consist of a small amount of the active ingredient, coupling agents, and water. Water will typically make up 70% or more of a \u201cceramic\u201d spray formula.<\/p>\n<p>Ceramic coatings are solvent-based formulas with high quality catalysts. The solvents in a ceramic coating play a very important role. Solvents help keep the high percentage of the active ingredient in a liquid state, allowing you to apply the coating to the surface and buff it off with relative ease. Without these solvents, applying a ceramic coating would be nearly impossible, like trying to apply glue or molasses to paint or gel coat. Once the coating has been applied, the catalysts take over. These catalysts help expedite the curing process of the active ingredient, once exposed to oxygen. During this curing process the ceramic coating transforms from a liquid state into a solid, bonding directly to the surface it was applied.<\/p>\n<p>Water based \u201cceramic\u201d sprays do not achieve the same level of hardness or bonding with the surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-container full\">\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-4 large-3 page-timeline-container join\">\n<div class=\"page-timeline\">PRICE<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-8 large-9 page-description-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 large-9\">\n<p>Now that we understand the differences in the percentage of active ingredient and the formulation, it\u2019s easy to see why the prices of these products varies so much. \u201cCeramic\u201d spray prices range from $15 on the low end to $50 plus on the high end. These spray products usually come in 8oz or 16oz sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Ceramic coatings have a wider range of price points and sizes, depending on the type of coating you are looking for (Auto, Marine, RV). The variety of sizes includes 30ml, 50ml, 100ml, 120ml, 160ml and 250ml. The 30ml and 50ml sizes are most common in the Automotive industry whereas the 160ml and 250ml sizes are most common in the Marine and RV industries. Auto ceramic coatings range in price from $60-$200, with the average price of approximately $80-$90 for consumer grade coatings. Marine and RV ceramic coatings have a wider range of prices given the variety of sizes. 50ml of Marine or RV coatings start at $85 and go as high as $150. 250ml of Marine or RV coatings start at $295 and go as high as $500 or more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;background-color: #fafafa;padding: 1.5rem\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> These prices are sourced from reputable ceramic coating brands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-container full\">\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-4 large-3 page-timeline-container join\">\n<div class=\"page-timeline\">DURABILITY \/ PROTECTION<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-8 large-9 page-description-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 large-9\">\n<p>In the same vein as price, the durability and level of protection have a direct correlation with the percentage of active ingredient and the formulation. In most cases, the higher percentage of active ingredient, the longer a coating or spray will last and the better the level of protection it will provide.<\/p>\n<p>Water-based \u201cceramic\u201d sprays will typically last and provide protection for 2-4 months (depending on location), whereas ceramic coatings will typically last between 1-3 years (without re-application) depending on the type of<br \/>\ncoating (Auto, Marine, RV).<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the longevity, the level of protection varies between \u201cceramic\u201d sprays and ceramic coatings. \u201cCeramic\u201d sprays will provide similar protection to a ceramic coating, like UV protection, stain resistance, and ease of cleaning, just to a lesser degree. Because \u201cceramic\u201d sprays are water based and not solvent based, they do not bond as well to the surface nor do they create a hard protective layer. These \u201cceramic\u201d sprays will leave a softer layer of protection on top of the surface, which will slowly degrade over the course of a few months.<\/p>\n<p>Ceramic coatings provide superior protection against UV damage, stains, oxidization, chemicals, salt, rust and hard water marks. Ceramic coatings also provide a surface that is much easier to clean, even compared to a \u201cceramic\u201d spray.<br \/>\nCeramic coatings achieve a much higher level of protection because the coating bonds directly with the surface it is applied to, filling in to microscopic pores, and creating a hard protective layer on top of the surface. This hard protective layer is what allows a ceramic coating to last 1-3 years as opposed to 2-4 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-container full\">\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-4 large-3 page-timeline-container join\">\n<div class=\"page-timeline\">GLOSS &amp; HYDROPHOBIC QUALITIES<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-8 large-9 page-description-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 large-9\">\n<p>Gloss and hydrophobic qualities (water beading) are two of the most advertised properties in a ceramic product. People love to see their vehicle, boat or RV shine and watch the water beading on the surface. Both \u201cceramic\u201d sprays and ceramic coatings provide a glossy and hydrophobic surface. Similar to the durability and protection, \u201cceramic\u201d sprays will provide less gloss (3%-10% on the gloss meter) compared to a ceramic coating. The hydrophobic qualities will also diminish faster with a \u201cceramic\u201d spray (within 1-4 months) compared to a ceramic coating (within 1-3 years). The hard protective layer of a ceramic coating adds a deeper level of gloss to the surface while greatly extending the hydrophobic qualities of the surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-container full\">\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-4 large-3 page-timeline-container join\">\n<div class=\"page-timeline\">APPLICATION<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-8 large-9 page-description-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 large-9\">\n<p>The final difference between a \u201cceramic\u201d spray and a ceramic coating is the application method and how quickly and easily it can be applied.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest benefit to a water-based \u201cceramic\u201d spray is the ease of application. These products are all spray-on and wipe-off applications that require less prep work before applying and a much faster application. Standard prep for a \u201cceramic\u201d spray application is to wash the vehicle, boat or RV with soap and water, then apply the product to a clean, dry surface. Typically, this application will take about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on what you are applying it to. It is not required to remove surface imperfections, such as swirl marks and scratches for you to see the benefits of a \u201cceramic\u201d spray, but for optimal results it is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Ceramic coating applications are much more labor intensive and require a greater level of prep to achieve optimal results. Since a ceramic coating is providing a hard protective layer on the surface, it is important to remove any surface imperfections before applying a ceramic coating. If you do not remove these imperfections before applying the coating, it will make these imperfections tougher to remove in the future. Surface imperfections may also affect the overall performance of the ceramic coating (durability, protection, gloss and hydrophobic qualities).<\/p>\n<p>Standard prep for a ceramic coating application includes: Washing, clay bar (for vehicles), compounding and polishing the surface, decontaminating the surface with an alcohol based cleaner, then applying the ceramic coating (most ceramic coatings require or recommend two coats). While this process seems long and arduous, you are rewarded with an extremely glossy surface that is protected for years instead of months.<\/p>\n<p>For a vehicle, a ceramic application will take approximately 3-6 hours depending on the amount of prep, whereas boats and RVs can take several days depending on the size and amount of prep required.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-container full\">\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 join page-description-container\">\n<table style=\"width: 100%;max-width: none;border: 1px solid #cccccc\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px;font-size: 1rem;text-transform: uppercase\">Results<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background: #e9e9e9;font-weight: 900\">\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&#8220;CERAMIC&#8221; SPRAY<\/td>\n<td>CERAMIC COATING<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: none\">\n<td>Percentage of Active Ingredient<\/td>\n<td>1-13%<\/td>\n<td>20-65%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: none\">\n<td>Formulation<\/td>\n<td>Water-based<\/td>\n<td>Solvent-based<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: none\">\n<td>Price<\/td>\n<td>$$<\/td>\n<td>$$$$$<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: none\">\n<td>Durability &amp; Protection<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i> (2-4 months)<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i> (1-3 years)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: none\">\n<td>Gloss &amp; Hydrophobic Qualities<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star-half\"><\/i><\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: none\">\n<td>Ease of Application<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-container full\">\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-4 large-3 page-timeline-container join\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cell small-12 medium-8 large-9 page-description-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x\">\n<div class=\"cell small-12 large-9\">\n<p>We have gone into great detail about the key differences between a \u201cceramic\u201d spray and a ceramic coating.
