Can Ceramic Coating Increase Your Vehicle’s Resale Value?

Whether you drive a Ferrari, Ford, F-Type Jag, vintage Firebird, or any other luxury vehicle (that doesn’t begin with F) there are a bunch of reasons to protect its paintwork with ceramic coating 

These include making it easier to keep clean, an incredible shine, protecting it from the elements, and… Boosting the car’s value when the time comes to sell.

The Link Between Ceramic Coating and the Resale Value

There are two main reasons that adding a high-quality ceramic coating can mean your car commands hundreds or thousands more dollars:

1. The paint will be in better condition: This is the most obvious. A well-installed ceramic coating that’s installed when the paintwork is still in pretty pristine condition will ensure that it remains that way. 
2. It shows a commitment to car care: If you’ve gone to the effort and expense of adding a ceramic coating, it’s also likely that the rest of the vehicle has been well looked after and maintained. Combine this with a careful maintenance record and you’ve got the perfect recipe for attracting the used car buyers with the biggest budgets…

Ceramic coating is all about preserving the vehicle’s appearance. It acts as a solid barrier between the elements and the paintwork. Acid rain, salt, bird droppings, UV rays… They’re all constantly degrading the quality of the color, shine, and overall aesthetics. Whether your ride sports a gloss or matte finish, the subtle effects of Mother Nature take their toll over the weeks, months, and years.

When the time comes to resell, a car that’s had a timely ceramic coating installation will stand out in the used vehicle market. If you’re part-exchanging your ride for a newer model or switching allegiance from Porsche to Lambo (or whatever), then you’ll have a potent bargaining tool to squeeze what can amount to significantly more dollars from the dealer.

Looks and Condition are Everything

Even if you have no intention of selling your car right now, you love the manual labor of regular cleaning and waxing (or have someone to do it for you…), and wrap your ride up in cotton wool, one thing you’re not going to love is the inevitable minor cosmetic damage that occurs when you take your baby out on the road.

Ceramic coating goes an awfully long way to reducing this. For those not interested in adding car protection purely for resale benefits, it can’t be overstressed what a great investment it is to increase the enjoyment you get from your ride.

But… And sorry to bang on about it. If the time comes to find your pride and joy a new home, the fewer paintwork imperfections it has, the more desirable (and valuable) it will be.

Boosting Car Value with Ceramic Coating is Time-Critical

If you are thinking about car protection for resale, then the golden rule is this:

Get it done ASAP!

Ceramic coating accentuates everything beneath it. Yes, a professional installation will include meticulous paintwork correction, but this can only go so far. If you’ve invested in a new or nearly new vehicle, maybe a respray, or even a car wrap, then right now is the time to get ceramic coating.

As paintwork protection experts, Auto SuperShield can’t stress the importance of this. While you’re undoubtedly installing it for primary aesthetic and maintenance reasons, the added benefit of ceramic coating increasing the resale value is an awesome knock-on extra.
