Can ceramic coating be applied to wood?
Quick answer: Interior ‘wood’ trim is usually varnished or resin-coated, so we treat it like painted surfaces and can coat it. We haven’t applied ceramic to bare wood; there are specialist wood coatings, so a cabinetmaker’s advice is best.
Unless you have some vintage or strange custom vehicle where the wood is bare or treated with linseed oil, the wooden surfaces in your vehicle are likely to be coated with varnish, shellac, polyurethane, resin or something which isn't actually wood, and so can be treated as we would with any other painted surface.
As for applying it to bare wood, we have never been asked for this and never tried. There are specific ceramic coatings for wood, but you might be better off visiting a cabinetmaker and taking advantage of their expertise.
