Ceramic coatings are safe for your car’s paint when applied correctly. They protect against UV rays and contaminants but must be applied to a clean, imperfection-free surface. Use proper safety precautions, such as working in a well-ventilated area and avoiding direct sunlight. While safe for most exterior surfaces, they’re not for interiors. Proper curing time is essential, and following manufacturer instructions ensures optimal results.

Ceramic coating costs vary by type, vehicle size, and application method. DIY kits range from $40–$300+, offering 1–3+ years of protection. Professional services range from $500–$3,000+, depending on prep work, coating quality, and warranties. Factors like paint condition, brand, and location impact price. DIY is affordable but less durable; professionals offer expert results and long-lasting protection.
