How long does ceramic coating last on a car?
I’m thinking about putting ceramic coating on my Mustang as an alternative to polishing, but I want to make sure it’s worth the big price tag. How long does ceramic coating last?

Sounds like you’re taking great care of your
Ford Mustang
! Ceramic coating can be a great alternative to polishing as it protects your car’s paint instead of degrading it. You can expect a ceramic coating to last between two to five years.How long ceramic coating lasts on a car ultimately depends on how you use it. If your car is mostly kept indoors, covered, and only driven in gentle conditions, your ceramic coating could last several years.
The following conditions can cause your ceramic coating to wear down sooner:
- How youwash your car
- Sun, road salt, dirt, ice, rocks, and even somebug splatter
- The quality of the coating and whether it is done professionally or at home
- Not properly preparing the car for application
If you want to prolong the life of your ceramic coat, do your best to protect your car from the elements and ensure your car is washed gently. If you drive your on the highway or in harsher elements often, the effectiveness of your coating might last closer to two years.
Of course the best way to protect your car is with the best car insurance.
