Ceramic-coating in Fort Myers, Florida

Evidence-based guidance for Florida conditions. No hype, just what works.

Why it matters in Fort Myers

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.

Prefer a climate-controlled bay. Surface prep (wash, decon, clay, polish) affects outcome more than brand choice.

Task	Frequency	Notes
pH-safe wash	2–3 weeks	Two-bucket; soft mitt; avoid direct sun
Drying	Every wash	Blower + microfiber; minimize spotting
SiO2 topper	2–3 months	Boosts beading & slickness
Annual check	12 months	Decon/light polish if needed

Limits: coatings are not "scratch-proof." Minerals and bugs can etch if left on the surface.
