Ceramic coating?
« on: Today at 05:18:38 PM »
Lately I’ve seen a lot of ads for ceramic coating touting its benefits… like preserving the appearance of your new car.  Dealerships offer it, after market shops offer it; prices vary widely.  Do people actually buy into this? If you really want to protect the appearance of your car park it in a garage.  This ceramic coating trend reminds me of automotive bras, spoilers, and paint trims of the 1980s. ::)

It actually works.

My Z06 has a coating for 10 years now.

You can't scratch the paint, and I can wash it with a power washer and leaf blower in 15 minutes.

Or you can be an old Boomer and let it sit in your garage and wax it on the weekends in your boat shoes. ;D

Paint protection film is better. That’s the industry that I’m in.

The film is needed out there when the sand blows. When it’s windy driving down Gene Autry is like getting sand blasted.
