Ceramic-coating in Fl, Florida
Evidence-based guidance for Florida conditions. No hype, just what works.
Why it matters in Fl
- UV & Heat: Reduce fading and oxidation when maintained.
- Salt Air (Coastal): Faster rinse-downs; slower corrosion on coated surfaces.
- Humidity & Rain: Correct curing environment is crucial; avoid outdoor application.
- Lovebug Season: Coating eases removal; prompt cleanup still required.
- Hard Water: Coatings can still spot — dry promptly and use SiO2 toppers.
Application & Curing
Prefer a climate-controlled bay. Surface prep (wash, decon, clay, polish) affects outcome more than brand choice.
Maintenance (Baseline)

| pH-safe wash | 2–3 weeks | Two-bucket; soft mitt; avoid direct sun |
