Definitions

This page exists to clarify the terms commonly used when discussing car paint protection, exterior detailing, and ceramic coatings. Much of the confusion around paint protection comes not from the products themselves, but from inconsistent language - the same term can mean different things depending on who is using it, or be used loosely in marketing without clear explanation. These definitions are provided in the context of how we carry out professional exterior detailing, apply ceramic coatings, and select products for real-world use, so that questions about protection, preparation, durability, and maintenance can be understood accurately rather than assumed. The aim is to give you a shared vocabulary before making decisions about products or services.
