Do ceramic coatings provide UV protection?
Ceramic coatings provide virtually no filtering of UV light, but they don't need to. They will still protect against the effects of UV radiation.
UV light speeds up oxidization to the surface of your car by reacting with ozone, making your clearcoat appear hazy and milky. Ceramic coatings are extremely resistant to oxidization and so solve that problem.
The clear coat on your car provides UV protection to the base coat, ceramic coatings help by protecting your clear coat.
While ceramic coatings can be used on glass, if you are looking for UV protection, a window tint is the solution you are looking for. Sunlight contains UVA and UVB which can be harmful to your skin, and cause fading to your interior. A good quality window tint can block as much as 99% of UV radiation.
