The Best Ceramic Coating in 2023

Ceramic coating is one of the best innovations to come to market in recent years. It uses nanotechnology to infuse the product with uber-hard, crystal-clear qualities that protects against physical and environmental damage to paintwork.

Of course, technology is constantly moving forward—and ceramic coatings are no different. That means that, if you’re considering getting this valuable addition installed, then you want to be sure you’re getting the most up-to-date version.

The following looks at some of the best on the market today…

Ceramic coating 2023: DIY options

OK, so a quick word about DIY ceramic products you can purchase online or in a car shop. There are many on offer, but the downside of them all is their short life span—or, at least, no guaranteed longevity from the manufacturers. With professional installations lasting for years, the short-lasting effects that you get from these off-the-shelf options don’t come anywhere close.

But they are cheap (or cheaper), so, understandably, many people consider this route. Just be aware that the initial paintwork prep must be meticulous—there’s many a horror story cruising the streets that’s the outcome of a poor installation effort.

Some of the better options on the market for 2023 include:

• Sonax Profiline Ceramic Coating Evo: Comes with a solution to use for the prep stage and a two-stage, base and topcoat product. You’ll need to dedicate a minimum of a day to carefully apply it.
• Shelby Ceramic Coating: There’s no preparation solution included in this pack, plus it’s a little more like applying car wax than the Sonax mentioned above. You apply, level, and buff—but don’t omit the paintwork prep step, otherwise all you’ll do is seal in dirt and paintwork anomalies.
• Pure Definition Crystal Opti-Gloss: Very similar to the Shelby, you’ll have to provide your own preparation materials. The installation is much the same too.

Ceramic coating 2023: professional installations

From longevity to protective qualities, you simply can’t beat a professional ceramic coating installation. These take a minimum of 48 hours to be applied, starting with a deep clean, clay bar, and paintwork correction. Once the product is applied, the product is allowed to dry beneath infrared lighting. You’ll be advised not to wash the car for around 30 days afterward, to allow time for the product to fully cure.

Some of the best products on the market today include:

• Xpel Fusion Plus: Perhaps the most advanced ceramic coating of all, this top-end product has a superior hydrophobic formula, protects from the elements, and makes the vehicle shine with clarity and depth like no other. 
• Opticoat Pro: Another high-tech option that comes in two versions: Pro and Pro+
• Modesta: A product that can be applied in 3 different ways—wet, dry, or sprayed. In similarity with both the Xpel and Opticoat, it’s only authorized for use by appropriately trained and certified professionals.
