Why is ceramic coating different in Central San Diego?
Central San Diego vehicles in Mission Valley, North Park, Hillcrest, and Kensington park outdoors year-round under direct sun that generates some of the highest UV loads in the network. Ceramic coating cuts the UV absorption reaching the clear coat and keeps the surface easier to maintain through urban driving conditions including stop-and-go traffic that generates brake dust and road grime. A coating installed on a clean, corrected surface holds up well in the central urban zone when maintained with pH-neutral products.
