A Harsh Truth Every Car Owner Should Know – By Filmshoppee
In today’s fast-paced world, everyone wants their car to shine brighter, last longer, and stay protected. Ceramic coating has become the buzzword in the auto detailing industry – but here’s a reality check:
Not every ceramic coating is real. And not every shine is protection.
At Filmshoppee, we’ve seen countless customers walk in with disappointment – confused, frustrated, and even betrayed – because they were promised ceramic coating but got nothing more than a fancy wax job that wore off in weeks.
So we’re here to help you ask the most important question:
Is your ceramic coating real or fake?
Why Is Ceramic Coating in Such High Demand?
Ceramic coating is not just about glossy looks. It’s about:
- Long-term paint protection
- UV resistance & water repellency
- Stain and chemical resistance
- Easy cleaning & less maintenance
- High-end, luxury gloss finish
ceramic coating has become a must-have. But with this booming demand, the market has also flooded with shortcuts and fakes.
What Does “Fake Ceramic Coating” Really Mean?
Fake doesn’t always mean counterfeit bottles. Sometimes, it’s poor application, untrained hands, or misleading products labelled as “ceramic” but with zero actual ceramic content.
Here’s what we mean:
- Cheap Teflon polish sold as ceramic coating
- Quick spray-on sealants marketed as permanent
- No surface preparation before application
- No brand, no certification, no aftercare
And the worst part?
Customers are charged premium prices for these fake treatments — but get no real protection.
How to Spot Fake Ceramic Coating: Red Flags You Shouldn’t Ignore
-
Gauge meter reading: Always check with a paint thickness gauge after coating to verify how much micron has been added.
-
Minimum standard: At least 2 microns should be added after a proper ceramic coating application.
-
Ultra-low pricing: Real ceramic products cost more because they last. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
-
No surface prep or paint correction: Proper ceramic coating requires a clean, smooth, and corrected surface. Skipping this means the coating won’t bond well and will fail quickly.
-
No proof of the product used: Always ask to see the brand name, original bottle, or MSDS sheet. If they refuse or hide it, be cautious.
-
No curing time: Real ceramic coatings require at least 12–24 hours to cure. “Quick-dry” and “drive-away in minutes” solutions are not genuine ceramic coatings.
-
No warranty or aftercare guidance: Authentic brands offer protection plans and maintenance protocols. Fakes usually don’t.

Real vs Fake: The Cost Is More Than Just Money
A fake ceramic coating won’t just fade away.
It can damage your clear coat, leave uneven marks, and reduce resale value. It also means you’ll have to spend again – on corrections, re-polishing, and real protection.
Don’t let a fake shine ruin your car’s finish or your trust
Final Thought: Ask Before You Coat
- Ceramic coating is a beautiful investment – when done right.
- Before you hand over your keys, ask:
- What product is being used?
- Are you getting surface prep & correction?
- Is there a warranty or proof?
- Does the studio have certified applicators?
If the answers aren’t clear, don’t risk it.
