If you’ve lived in Ottawa long enough, you already know what our weather can do to a car’s paint. Hot summers, freezing winters, road salt, dust, it all adds up. That’s why so many car owners here are switching to ceramic coating. It’s not just for the shine (although the shine is incredible), it’s about keeping your car looking great and protected for years.

Here’s why we recommend it at Washer on Wheels:

Solid Protection Year-Round
Think of ceramic coating like a clear shield. It sits on top of your paint and blocks all the junk dirt, salt, pollen, and even bird droppings from sticking. It also helps reduce those small swirl marks you sometimes see after washing.
Shine That Stays
Wax looks nice for a couple of weeks. Ceramic coating? That deep, glossy look can last for years if you take care of it. Your car will keep that “just detailed” finish way longer.
Easy to Wash
Water just rolls off, and dirt doesn’t cling as much. Most of our customers tell us their car is twice as easy to clean after getting it coated.
Stops Sun Fade
UV rays are brutal on paint. Over time, they cause fading and oxidation. Ceramic coating acts like sunscreen, keeping your colour vibrant.
Protects Against Chemicals
Road salt in winter, bug guts in summer, Ottawa roads throw a lot at your paint. Ceramic coating resists those harsh chemicals, so they don’t eat into your finish.
Helps Prevent Small Scratches
Nothing can make your car 100% scratch-proof, but ceramic coating reduces the chance of those light, surface-level marks from washing and drying.
Saves You Money in the Long Run
You’ll skip a lot of waxing and polishing, and you won’t need paint correction as often. Over time, that’s a lot of savings.
Works on More Than Just Cars
We’ve done motorcycles, boats, and even RVs. If it has paint, a ceramic coating can protect it.

At Washer on Wheels, we bring our ceramic coating service right to you, no shop visits, no waiting around. Just great results, done at your home or workplace.

Ceramic Coating FAQ – Washer on Wheels

Q1: What is ceramic coating, and how does it compare to waxing?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds with your car’s paint to form a long-lasting protective layer. As opposed to wax, which fades within a few weeks, ceramic coating may last for years with proper care.

Q2: How long does ceramic coating last?

With the right care, a good quality ceramic coating may protect your car for 2 to 5 years, which is a great improvement over traditional wax, which only lasts weeks.

Q3: Does ceramic coating make my car scratch-proof?

No coating is going to make your car completely scratch-proof. What ceramic coating does is reduce the risk of light scratches, swirl marks and surface issues from washing and everyday use.

Q4: Will ceramic coating make my car easy to clean?

Yes! Ceramic coating does cause water and dirt to ball up and roll off, which in turn leaves your car cleaner for longer and requires less time to wash.

Q5: Can ceramic coating protect against Ottawa’s road salt and harsh weather?

Of course it can. Ceramic coating, which is a strong layer of protection against road salt, chemicals, UV rays, and other elements, is what you want for Ottawa’s hot summers and icy winters.

Q6: Do I still need to wash my car after ceramic coating?

Yes. Although ceramic coating does make for easy care and will keep your car looking great longer, it is still recommended to give it a regular wash for best results and protection.

Q7: How much does ceramic coating cost?

That varies based on the size of your vehicle and what level of prep is required. At Washer on Wheels, we offer free consultations to see what is the best option for your car.

Q8: Can ceramic coating be applied to motorcycles, boats, or RVs?

Yes! It is not just for cars, at Washer on Wheels we protect motor bikes, boats, RV’s and any other painted surface with the same great results.

Q9: Do I need to bring my car to a shop for ceramic coating?

Not at all. Washer on Wheels is fully mobile. We come to your home or workplace and apply the ceramic coating on-site for your convenience.
