Advantages of nano ceramic
Provides excellent protection
Nano ceramic provides excellent protection from problems caused by weather conditions, sunlight, dirt, and dust. It forms a protective layer to prevent these hazards from reaching the paint and bodywork, which means that your car will be protected from scratches and swirl marks left by washing, bird droppings, tree sap, and even UV rays.
Long-lasting
Nano ceramic is characterized by its long-lasting effect, sometimes up to 5 years, which means it is better than waxing and polishing, and requires less maintenance and care than them, so you can rely on it for several years with the assurance that your car is protected from external damage.
Enhances the beauty of the car
Nano ceramic is known to add a wonderful shine to the car, enhancing its beauty under the sun and under the lights at night. The lighter the color of the car, the more beautiful the shine. It is also suitable for sports and luxury cars, giving them an extra aesthetic touch.
Makes cleaning the car easier
Since it prevents dirt from accumulating and affecting the paint, it also makes cleaning the car easier. In fact, spraying it with water may be enough to clean it if the dirt is minor, and even if it is very dirty, the washing process will be faster and easier than washing a normal car.
Water resistant
One of the most important features of nano-ceramic is that it is water-resistant, meaning that water does not accumulate on the bodywork and does not leave marks on it. It also has another great feature, which is that it causes rainwater to run off the glass quickly, thus improving visibility, especially in heavy rainfall and when lighting is poor at night.
Maintains the value of the car
Nano ceramic maintains the value of the car when it is resold because it not only protects the paint but also protects the car's structure, such as the doors and fenders, from rust and damage caused by various weather conditions and sun damage. Therefore, many people prefer to buy a car protected by nano ceramic over a car that has no protection.

Disadvantages of nano ceramic
High cost
One of the most significant disadvantages of nano ceramic is its high cost. The higher the quality of the product used and the larger the car, the higher the cost. Despite its many benefits, many people do not consider it worth the high price.
Does not provide complete protection
It is well known that nano ceramic provides limited protection for the body and paintwork, protecting the car from minor scratches, sunlight, and other minor to moderate damage. However, there are some scratches and impacts that are severe and deep and will penetrate it and directly affect the paint, especially gravel, tree trunks, and other hard objects.
It does not last forever
Nano ceramic coating lasts from approximately two to five years, and with proper care, it can last from seven to ten years. Several factors affect its lifespan, such as quality, application process, environmental conditions, and maintenance. Therefore, always choose good quality and take great care of it so that it lasts as long as possible.
Does not hide previous defects
Although it is excellent for protecting the car from scratches and external damage, it does not hide defects and scratches that already exist on the paintwork. Therefore, it is best to repair paint problems first and then apply it to the car so that the paintwork remains clean and no previous defects are visible.
Requires a specialist
Applying nano-ceramic to a car requires a skilled and experienced person, because it is not easy to apply and you will not get satisfactory results if you try to apply it yourself to your car. In fact, you may encounter other problems that you can do without. A specialist knows the correct amount to use, how to apply it, the types available, and many other things that require scientific and practical experience.
It requires constant maintenance
Nano ceramic requires a specific washing method and specific products that contain harmless substances so that it is not affected and does not wear off quickly. Regular washing and cleaning products are not suitable for it because they contain chemicals that damage it and cause it to fade quickly.
