Sic vs sio2 ceramic coatings
First of all is a “SIC or silica carbide” ceramic coating, which means that it is chemically reacting with your clearcoat, and crosslinking in a ceramic bond, becoming part of your paint.
Compared to other coatings on the market, which are called “Sio2” or “silicon dioxide” Sio2 coatings are actually chunks of already cured ceramic silica inside of a resin.
You have to put on multiple layers of that resin to make sure you have a flush application with no cracks and crevices in between the chunks of ceramic that could let UV rays, chemicals, enzymes, etc get down to your paint. This resin only ever hardens on top of your paint, never becoming part of your paint.
Sio2 coatings also require that you do mandatory maintenance every 6 to 12 months and “top” or reapply ceramic to keep that resin alive. If you don’t you will fall out of warranty terms and that resin can and will break down on top of your vehicle.
Sic coatings only need more in-depth maintenance while Owner’s Pride doesn’t require annual maintenance to stay in warranty terms.
Secondly, Owner’s Pride is the only ceramic coating company on the market that has a warranty backed by a third-party insurance company.
