Is Supagard a ceramic coating?

Supagard is a polymer coating (polysilazane) which is not a ceramic coating.

What is Supagard?

Supagard is usually offered by dealerships and is offered as a complete package, including protection for leather, carpets, glass and wheels, which is applied at the dealership when you collect your car. 

Supagard are a wonderful company up in Scotland who are very friendly and helpful.  We have done some trouble shooting for them in the past, so we know that they honour their warranty and look after their customers, although you will likely be buying the Supagard package from a dealership rather than dealing with Supagard directly.

Is Supagard any good?

Yes, it is extremely good, and we used it for years. Although, we believe that the formula may have been improved since then. So it may be even better.

It is sold as a 5-year product, but in our experience, it lasts much longer than this, and it does a superb job of protecting your paintwork. Although we steer people towards ceramic coatings these days, we do still recommend polymer coatings, and we still use them.

Furthermore, Supagard make some retail products we highly recommend to anybody, regardless of whether you have had a Supagard package applied at the dealership. Thier products for neutralizing bird droppings are very good.

I was told Supagard is ceramic?

Supagard is sold all over the world, and it appears that some outlets in the Far East are selling it as a ceramic coating. We will be charitable and assume that these are small companies being a bit overzealous with their marketing efforts.

Supagard is one of the oldest and respected names in the UK car industry, and as a result of being so well known and sought after,  their branding has been used by counterfeiters and scammers in the past. Only buy from approved Supagard outlets or directly from the Supagard website.
