When it comes to your ride, you want it as protected as possible. Unfortunately, there are a lot of surfaces that can be damaged, from the rims to the paint. You already know you can use a ceramic coating to keep your paint job looking its best. But can you ceramic coat your glass?
Yes, Some Ceramic Coatings Can Be Applied to Glass
There are some ceramic coatings that can be put on glass. When applied correctly, they strengthen your glass, just like they protect your paint. They also make it more difficult for watermarks and streaks to form, so they can help with visibility. However, not all coatings will work well on glass, and not all detailers know how to use ceramic coatings in this way.
Is Ceramic Coating on Glass Expensive?
Usually, the application of the ceramic coating on the glass is not too expensive given the relatively small surface area. Still, it is more than alternative methods for protecting automotive glass. So, before you jump into ceramic coating your glass, look into other options.
Alternatives for Glass Protection
If you’re not interested in ceramic coating your glass, there are a few alternatives that can provide some level of protection.
Window film is one option. This thin film is applied to the inside of your window and helps to reduce heat and UV exposure. It also helps to keep shattered glass together in the event of an accident or break-in.
Another option is to use the clear, protective film that car dealers apply over your windshield. It will protect your glass from rock chips and impact damage.
Finally, you can simply clean your windows often with a quality window cleaner like Invisible Glass. Regular cleaning will help eliminate grime build-up on windows which can cause streaking when it dries. This won’t strengthen your glass, but it does solve the visibility issue.
Should You Ceramic Coat Your Glass?
If you’re in the market for an excellent way to protect your glass, then yes. However, if there’s another option that will work just as well or better than ceramic coating your windows, go with it instead. In the end, it’s up to you what level of protection you want for your car. But with all the options out there, it’s definitely worth looking into.
