Winter in Colorado can be harsh, especially for those long, icy drives up I-70. Snow, ice, and road salt can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s exterior, leading to damage over time. However, there's a proven solution to protect your vehicle from winter's harshest elements—ceramic coating. In this blog, we’ll discuss why ceramic coating your vehicle before winter is not just a luxury but a necessity, especially for the cold months and driving up I-70.
What Is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your vehicle’s exterior, bonding to the factory paint and creating a protective layer. Unlike wax or sealants, ceramic coatings are much more durable and can last several years. This protective layer shields your car from environmental hazards, such as UV rays, dirt, and, more importantly, the salt and ice you'll encounter during Colorado's brutal winter.
The Colorado Winter Dilemma: Why Your Car Needs Extra Protection
Driving on I-70 during the winter means exposing your car to a relentless assault of snow, slush, road salt, and ice. Road salt, in particular, is a nightmare for your car’s paint. It can lead to oxidation, rusting, and corrosion, which deteriorates the body of your vehicle. Ice buildup can also damage the surface and the undercarriage of your car. Ceramic coating provides a durable, invisible barrier that can protect against this constant exposure to harmful elements.
Benefits of Ceramic Coating for Winter Protection
Water and Ice Repellency - Ceramic coating creates a hydrophobic surface, meaning water, ice, and snow will slide off more easily. As you drive up I-70, the road spray and slush won’t stick to your vehicle, reducing the potential for ice buildup. This makes your car safer, as less ice forming on your car's surface means better visibility and fewer frozen parts.
Protection Against Road Salt - Road salt is essential for safety during winter but disastrous for your vehicle. Ceramic coating acts as a barrier, preventing the salt from sticking to your paint and causing long-term damage like rust and corrosion.
Easier Maintenance in the Cold - Once your vehicle is ceramic-coated, winter car washes become much easier. Snow, mud, and dirt will have a harder time sticking to your car, meaning less frequent washes. Plus, the harsh chemicals in de-icing agents and car washes won’t affect your paint as much, keeping your vehicle in better shape.
UV Protection - Winter months may be cold, but the sun is still a threat. UV rays can cause paint fading even during overcast days. A ceramic coating offers UV protection year-round, ensuring your car’s paint retains its shine through every season.
Enhanced Appearance All Winter Long - One of the underrated benefits of ceramic coating is its aesthetic value. Despite the grime and salt on the roads, your car will maintain its glossy, showroom look, giving you peace of mind even during the coldest days.
Ceramic Coating vs. Waxing: Why Ceramic Coating Wins
Waxing your car can offer some temporary protection, but it can’t withstand the winter elements like ceramic coating. Wax tends to wear off quickly in the cold, especially when exposed to road salt and ice, leaving your vehicle vulnerable. In contrast, ceramic coating is a more durable, long-term solution designed to handle Colorado winters, including those challenging trips up the I-70 corridor.
