what you Need To Know About SB3 Ceramic Coatings
SB3 Alpha Ceramic Coating (Paint):
SB3 Alpha is the premium ceramic coating offering from SB3 Coatings International. It boasts a 5 year longevity & warranty while only requiring a single layer application. This is due to SB3 Alpha’s strong concentrated formula which carries more solids to the paint during application. Applying one coat allows for less mistakes, less billed hourly labor, and a faster turnaround time. Applying multiple coats to a vehicle can add an entire day to the process with no additional performance or warranty benefits vs a single layer. SB3 Alpha Ceramic Coating is 9H in hardness and is safe to get wet in only 4 hours after application. SB3 Alpha will show on your CarFax service history report.
If you want the ultimate protection for your vehicle, with the most gloss and best hydrophobic properties available, SB3 Alpha ceramic coating is the one to choose.
SB3 Omega Ceramic Coating (Paint):
SB3 Omega ceramic coating is intended for gloss, shine, and ease of maintenance. Omega gives similar protection capabilities to Alpha, even with it’s 4H hardness rating. The major difference is the concentration of solids, which gives Alpha the edge in long term durability. Omega is rated at 2 years and comes with a Warranty. Just like SB3 Alpha, Omega is shown on your CarFax service history report.
The best customers for SB3 Omega are those with short term car leases (2-3 years). If you have the budget to upgrade to Alpha or plan on keeping the vehicle for a long period of time, it is highly recommended to do so. SB3 Omega can be layered onto SB3 Alpha to create the secret “Almega” coating for an extreme amount of gloss, slickness, and protection. Contact your installer about this option.
SB3 Solo Ceramic Spray Coating (Paint):
Solo is the entry price point into the world of ceramic coatings. It’s a high concentrated, solvent based spray coating with a 1 year longevity. The application is much faster than the other coatings, and it can be returned same-day with a 1 hour cure time. It’s the perfect coating if your budget allows for polishing but not for the premium Alpha or Omega coatings. If you’ve never tried a ceramic coating, dip your feet in with SB3 Solo!
SB3 Vortex Ceramic Coating (Wheels):
SB3 Vortex ceramic coating is specifically formulated for wheels & brake calipers. Vortex will offer the best protection when it comes to high heat from performance braking situations, and even normal day to day driving. Your brakes generate heat from friction while stopping, which is transferred into your wheels (and eventually your tires). This heat can deteriorate consumer grade coating products, or products not designed for high heat areas of the vehicle.
SB3 Vortex wheel ceramic coating will protect your wheels from corrosion, pitting, oxidation, and premature surface wear. It will also make cleaning brake dust, tar, rubber, and other contamination easy when cleaning.
SB3 Optic Ceramic Coating (Exterior Glass):
When driving in bad weather conditions, seeing the road is extremely important. SB3 Optic is a ceramic coating for your windows which will repel water, snow, ice, oil, and other contamination that can get on your windows. At about 35mph, the rain will begin to roll up the window, almost negating the need for windshield wipers. Cleaning off the ice in the winter will be easy and come off in one big sheet when broken. This product blows away all the consumer grade products you can find off the shelf.
SB3 Fiber Ceramic Coating (Soft Top & Fabric):
SB3 Fiber will protect soft top convertible covers, as well as any fabric surfaces on the inside of your vehicle. Alcantara included. Fiber repels water similar to the other coatings, preventing stains and discoloration as well as UV damage. It’s the perfect product for vehicle’s with young children, people who transport materials, or people who frequently travel with their pets. SB3 Fiber does not change the feel or appearance of any textile surface.
SB3 Hyde Ceramic Coating (Leather):
The interior of your vehicle is often overlooked when it comes to ceramic coatings. The leather in your vehicle is coated with the same material your clear coat paint is made of. The factory coating is designed to be flexible, just like SB3 Hyde is made to flex with your seats. Hyde won’t change the feel of your leather, and won’t discolor the leather either. Black leather will look slightly darker and more vibrant. Hyde will protect your leather surfaces from stains, dye transfer, spills, dirt, and other contamination that may damage the surface and require a repair. Just like your paint, the factory leather coating is susceptible to damage.
