Why Your Car’s Paint Needs More than Just a Wax

Paint systems on vehicles are one of the most, if not one of the most, expensive items on your new car — but the paint is also easily the most neglected.


The clear coat layer on today’s paint systems were invented to protect the paint underneath for a longer period of time. Waxes and sealants were invented to help protect that clear coat layer from failing.


Waxing or sealing regularly will help protect your paint for an average of three to six months depending on the product and how often you wash and maintain your paint. However, this can end up being very time consuming and costly. Waxes and sealants are only a thin, temporary layer that sits on top of your paint. Even with the best waxes and sealants on the market, it can still leave your paint very susceptible to the harsh elements vehicles face day in and day out.

Matte Paint Protection: Why Ceramic Coating Is a Must

Matte paint finishes require a different care approach than traditional gloss paint, since standard waxes, sealants, and many all-in-one polishes can leave behind a shine that ruins the flat, satin look the finish is known for. Matte surfaces have a more porous, textured clear coat, which means they can be more susceptible to staining, water spots, and contamination from road grime, bird droppings, and UV exposure if left unprotected.



Owners need a protection option built specifically for matte finishes. A ceramic coating designed for matte paint is recommended, as it creates a durable, hydrophobic barrier that guards against fading, staining, and environmental damage while preserving the low luster, non reflective appearance that makes matte paint stand out. This gives owners lasting protection without compromising the exact look they invested in.

Professional Process

OCD-Certified Installation of Ceramic Coatings

Ceramic coatings are polymer-based liquids that are installed by hand. These liquids have a chemical reaction and bond with the paint. Ceramic coatings are a hard-wearing layer (9h) that are resistant to UV rays, chemicals, swirls, and water spotting. Best of all, ceramic coatings have amazing release properties to sap, tar, and etching from enzymes and acids that can come from bird poop and bugs.


This will eliminate the need for waxing, polishing, and a lot less stress to keep your vehicle in that “showroom” condition.


Ceramic coatings are here to save you time, money, and your vehicle’s paint system from failing before your car does, without having to detail your car every weekend. In other words, it’s the perfect insurance for your vehicle against everyday use.


Here at OCD, we have been certified and trained installers of ceramic coatings for over 12 years. Our customers turn to us time and time again for a few reasons: performance, warranty, customer service, and using the only U.S. manufactured and distributed ceramic coating company. The biggest reason we chose these ceramic coatings over other big name coatings on the market is the science behind the chemicals, and we are proud to offer Owner’s Pride products to help keep your vehicle and motorcycle looking its best.

Smart Science

Our Ceramic Coatings Make A Difference!

Most ceramic coating companies use a silicone dioxide ceramic coating (sio2). The ceramic coating we use is a silicone carbide ceramic coating (siC). The difference from those two chemicals is that siC is a ceramic silica that chemically reacts with your clear coat and permanently becomes part of your paint, while sio2 is a ceramic liquid that hardens in a suspended resin that sits on top of your paint. SiC ceramic coatings only need to be applied in one or two layers, and only one time. SiC ceramic coatings don’t need to be polished or “refreshed” to maintain its life and warranty.


Sio2 coatings need to be polished and reapplied again and again to maintain their performance and their warranties.


Ceramic coatings are the protection of the future! Protect your investments with a permanent ceramic coating from Official California Detailing for your vehicles. As your go-to detailing service in San Diego, you can count on us to get the job done right.
