What ceramic coating options are available?
As a Showcar Ceramics Certified Provider, Steel City Suds offers 3 year, 5 year and 9 year ceramic coatings. Coating can also be applied to a vehicle's windows, wheels, trim and undercarriage. Many customers apply multiple coats, which the shop says can extend the coating by 2 to 3 times.
Do your ceramic coatings show up on a CarFax report?
Yes. Steel City Suds ceramic coatings come with CarFax Registration, so the coating appears on the vehicle's CarFax report and helps preserve resale value.
What is the difference between wax, polish and ceramic coating?
Wax adds shine and short term protection, typically lasting 4 to 8 weeks. Polish removes paint imperfections such as scratches and swirl marks and is usually applied in preparation for waxing or coating. Ceramic coating is the most durable option, with Steel City Suds offering coatings that last up to 9 years.
