Ceramic Coating

Why Your New Car Needs Ceramic Coating Before Its First Winter

Road salt, gravel, and freeze-thaw cycles take more off a finish in one Indiana winter than three years of normal driving. Here's what to do before the first frost.

Heading one

This is a lead paragraph. It introduces the article with a slightly larger size and muted color — ideal for the opening line of a blog post or service page.

Regular body text sits at 17px with generous line height. This is the default reading experience across blog posts, service descriptions, and any long-form content on the site. The font is Inter, the same family used in every other body context.

Heading two

A coating doesn't make salt disappear. It makes salt easy to rinse off before it does any harm.

Second-level headings break up major sections. They inherit the Archivo italic uppercase treatment from the .display class but at a smaller scale. Use these to separate distinct topics within an article.

Heading three

Third-level headings work well for sub-topics. Ceramic coating is a multi-step process — each step might get its own H3: surface prep, paint correction, coating application, and cure time.

Heading four

Fourth-level headings are rare in blog content but useful in technical write-ups or detailed service breakdowns. They still carry the Archivo weight but at a more compact size.

Heading five

Fifth-level headings drop the italic and sit closer to body size. Good for sidebar labels or fine sub-sections within a dense page.

Heading six

Sixth-level headings read almost like a kicker — small, tracked out, no italic. Use sparingly; if you need this many levels, the page probably wants restructuring.
