How long does it take to ceramic coat a car?
My car is getting a new ceramic coating applied to protect the paint job. How long can I expect the ceramic coating process to take?

For a standard-sized vehicle, a ceramic coating takes just a few hours to apply. After that, your car will have to stay in a controlled environment for 24 hours to cure properly. However, there are some factors that could cause the ceramic coating process to take longer than usual.
Here are some reasons why your vehicle might have to stay in the shop for a few days:
- Your vehicle has faded or damaged paint
- Your vehicle has several scratches or dents
- Your vehicle is dirtier than usual
If your car’s paint is damaged or chipped, you’ll need to have a paint correction done before the ceramic coating is applied. Also, your car will have to be washed and then put through a decontamination wash to remove any dirt and impurities before coating. This can all add time to the ceramic coating process.
If you really want to protect your car’s paint job, a ceramic coating is just the beginning. To make sure your vehicle is covered from damages like scratches or dents, make sure you have excellent
