As the rainy season settles in, Portland drivers know how important it is to protect their cars from the constant exposure to wet weather. Whether your car already has ceramic coating or you’re considering getting it, proper preparation and maintenance are key to keeping your vehicle in great shape throughout the season.

For Cars with Ceramic Coating:

If you’ve already invested in ceramic coating, you’ve made a great choice for long-term paint protection. However, even with this robust shield, it’s crucial to maintain it properly to ensure it performs at its best throughout the rainy months.

1. Routine Washes:
   Although ceramic coating reduces the need for frequent cleaning, we still recommend regular washes, especially after heavy rains. This helps remove accumulated dirt and contaminants from the roads, ensuring the hydrophobic properties of the coating remain intact.
2. Maintenance Check:
   Over time, your ceramic coating might need a refresh to maintain its effectiveness. Our detailing shop offers maintenance services that will inspect and boost the durability of your coating, ensuring it continues to repel water and dirt efficiently.
3. Don’t Skip the Wheels:
   Make sure your wheels are also cleaned and treated with protective coatings. They take a beating from wet roads, so keeping them clean and coated will prevent corrosion and maintain their appearance.

For Cars Without Ceramic Coating:

If your car hasn’t been treated with ceramic coating yet, the rainy season is an ideal time to consider adding this layer of protection. With Portland’s consistent rain and damp conditions, your car’s paint is more vulnerable to water spots, mud, road salt, and grime. Without protection, these elements can degrade your paint over time.

How Ceramic Coating Can Help:

1. Hydrophobic Properties:
   Ceramic coating creates a water-repellent barrier on your car’s surface, making rainwater bead up and slide off. This reduces the chances of water spots and keeps your car cleaner for longer.
2. Protection from Contaminants:
   Rain brings more than just water—it picks up road oils, mud, and other contaminants. Ceramic coating acts as a protective shield, preventing these elements from embedding into your paint and causing long-term damage.
3. Enhanced Durability and Shine:
   Ceramic coatings not only protect but also enhance the gloss and shine of your car’s paint, giving it a showroom-like finish that lasts. Even after months of rain, your car will retain its luster.
4. Easy Maintenance:
   With ceramic coating, cleaning becomes much easier. The slick surface resists dirt and grime, so you’ll spend less time scrubbing your car and more time enjoying the benefits of a cleaner, shinier vehicle.
