Rivian vehicles combine innovative technology with a bold, adventure-ready design—but keeping that sleek finish looking its best requires more than a basic wash. Ceramic coating offers an advanced layer of protection that helps your Rivian stay clean, glossy, and protected from the elements. At SkinzTek, we specialize in applying high-quality ceramic coatings that bond to your vehicle’s surface, providing long-lasting defense against dirt, water spots, UV rays, and environmental contaminants.
With ceramic coating, your Rivian’s exterior becomes hydrophobic, causing water, mud, and grime to bead up and slide off effortlessly. This makes cleaning faster and easier while maintaining a showroom-quality shine. Plus, the coating’s UV-resistant properties help prevent fading and oxidation, preserving your Rivian’s bold color and finish for years to come.
Whether you use your Rivian for daily commutes or weekend adventures, ceramic coating ensures your vehicle looks as sharp as the day you drove it off the lot. SkinzTek’s expert team applies every coat with precision, ensuring even coverage and a flawless, long-lasting finish you can trust.
Maintaining a ceramic-coated Rivian is straightforward, but following some best practices ensures the coating remains effective and your car continues to shine.
Use a pH-Neutral Car Shampoo: Harsh chemicals can break down the protective coating over time. Stick to a pH-neutral soap designed specifically for coated vehicles to preserve the coating’s hydrophobic properties.
Avoid Automatic Car Washes: Brush-based car washes can create micro-scratches and compromise the coating. Opt for hand washing or touchless car washes to protect your Rivian’s finish.
Dry with a Microfiber Towel: Water spots can still form if left to air dry. Use a high-quality microfiber towel to gently dry the surface after washing.
Wash in the Shade: Washing your car in direct sunlight can cause soap to dry too quickly, leaving streaks or residue. Choose a shaded area or wash during cooler parts of the day.
Regular Maintenance Checks: Inspect the coating periodically and apply a ceramic boost spray if needed. This helps maintain the coating’s hydrophobic properties and ensures long-term performance.
By following these simple tips, you’ll keep your Rivian looking sharp and ensure the ceramic coating continues to provide optimal protection for years to come.
Ceramic coating creates a water-repellent surface that causes water, mud, and grime to bead up and roll off effortlessly. This hydrophobic effect keeps your Rivian cleaner for longer and makes washing quicker and easier, so you spend less time scrubbing and more time driving. Whether you're returning from a muddy trail, or navigating city streets, your vehicle will maintain its clean, polished look with minimal effort.
The sun’s UV rays can cause fading and oxidation, especially with extended exposure. Ceramic coating forms a protective barrier that shields your Rivian’s paint from these damaging effects, helping maintain its vibrant color and glossy finish no matter how much time it spends outdoors. This protection is essential for preserving the Rivian’s distinct appearance, even after years of sun, snow, and rain exposure.
Ceramic coating doesn't just protect your Rivian—it also makes maintenance easier. Dirt and contaminants struggle to bond with the coated surface, reducing buildup and minimizing the need for aggressive cleaning products. A simple rinse often restores your Rivian’s pristine look, saving you time and effort. With less dirt adhesion and an easier cleaning process, you can enjoy more time driving and less time detailing.
Yes, ceramic coatings can be applied to more than just paint. Surfaces like wheels, glass, and trim can benefit from the protection too. Specialized coatings for these areas create a durable barrier against brake dust, road grime, and other contaminants. This ensures the entire vehicle remains protected, not just the body panels. For Rivian owners, it’s a great way to keep rims and glass looking clean while maintaining the overall shine of the vehicle.
Yes, ceramic coatings provide a strong resistance to chemicals such as bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, and other contaminants. These elements can often lead to long-term damage if left untreated on the paint. The coating forms a protective layer that prevents these substances from penetrating or etching the paint, making it easier to clean and maintain your Rivian’s finish without worrying about immediate damage from environmental hazards.
No, ceramic coating won’t change the color of your Rivian’s paint. Instead, it enhances the original finish by adding depth and gloss, making your paint look richer and more vibrant. The coating acts as a clear, glossy layer that accentuates the natural beauty of your vehicle’s factory paint. While the coating protects and shines, it won’t alter the original hue or create any noticeable changes to the color itself.
Yes, ceramic coating helps protect against minor swirl marks and light scratches, and some advanced coatings even have self-healing properties. These coatings can repair minor surface imperfections with heat, such as from the sun, or by using a heat gun. While not scratch-proof, this self-healing ability helps reduce visible damage over time, keeping your Rivian’s paint looking smooth and pristine with less need for regular paint correction.
After applying ceramic coating, regular maintenance is key to maximizing its longevity. Wash your Rivian using pH-neutral soap and soft microfiber towels to avoid damaging the coating. Avoid harsh chemicals, and stay away from automated car washes with abrasive brushes. With proper care, the ceramic coating will continue to provide excellent protection and gloss for years. Routine cleaning will help maintain the hydrophobic properties and preserve your vehicle’s showroom shine.
