Ceramic Pro 9H is made up of silica dioxide and titanium dioxide, similar to most ceramic coatings on the market. It is important to acknowledge the quality of those ingredients and the amount of them in each bottle. A Ceramic Pro 9H is around 65% silica dioxide and titanium dioxide suspended in a carrier solvent. The quality of these materials are what make the layers harder and the carrier solvent is what allows the nano ceramic coating to permeate and embed to your paint and stay there. With consumer grade coatings, you will probably find less of these ingredients in each bottle because that will make for an easier install. A professional grade coating will have coatings designed specifically for each surface. The specialized topcoat is what makes a nano ceramic coating its hydrophobic effect. The two part coating is what allows for the end result to be both hard and slick, keeping your paint clean and less prone to damages from external elements. When you come to a professional facility, like Ceramic Pro San Diego, what you get is the vehicle prep before the coating that most consumers cannot do on their own. That last thing you want is to permanently seal in existing defects permanently. With the combination of paint correction and Ceramic Pro, your car will leave Ceramic Pro San Diego looking like new for years to come!
