Just did coating for my car, not much difference on the original body paint, but definitely there was some effects on the additional bodykit i have installed. Anyhow, it's really about how you maintain your car like weekly wash etc.

Because aftermarket bodykit arent sprayed the way car body paint sprayed as from the factory

After you do coating, to maintain the coat you need to wash the car at least weekly. So you end up spending more to maintain the car. If you are doing that, might as well go for water based ceramic coating. Brands like Meguairs, Turtle wax, Chemical Guys, Sonax and a few brand have good quality and easy to apply of such product. Try those if you plan to wash your own car.

No such thing, once a month you still can get the coating result but yearly maintenance under warranty period must be perform under the CERAMIC PRO PACKAGE , below are the feedback i post at other place

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


While i'm the user who use get ceramic pro gold package coating and been few year since coating , i think my opinion can give some guide line for those who tend to get coating for their car.


1 st year the ceramic pro coating is in damm good shinning plus water repellent condition, just wash with car shampoo and the wipe it, all the dirty thing is just gone and shining as like just wax

2nd year, it start degrade even you wash the car as per recommend by them , water mark appear but still have some sort of water repellent affect. but glass portion, definitely no more water repellents effect

so from 2nd year , you should do once a year coating maintenance which is free under warranty package .

3rd year on ward until the warranty period over, the coating effect will not last more then a year, maintenance should be go for twice a year ( which is free as well)

my suggestion,

for those who are lazy to polish/ wash car, you may go for ceramic pro coating as their perform free maintenance during the warranty period. even you got car accident, after repaint they still free coating back for you.

after coating or coating maintenance, you just need use shampoo wash and easily water repellent effect appear. The only disadvantage is that you need spend two day a year for booking to perform coating maintenance your car.

For those who keep on saying ordinary polish/ wax will get the same affect. Yes , i agree, but it only last two to four week depend on your environment condition. AND you WILL NOT so damm hardworking every month go wax / polish your car ( perhaps for the 1st year of new car you will doing that biggrin.gif )

another thing i need to emphasize, DUN BELIEVE about the stone chip prevention regardless of what kind of wrap or coating method! It will not help . unless you always drive 40-50 mph.

conclusion, ceramic pro is not a permanent coating but their package is charge inclusive of yearly maintenance under warranty period .

so if you have extra budget and is a lazy people like me for wax your car every month, go for it .DONNOT expect within the warranty period, you no need send back your car for perform coating maintenance .

I have another will go for coating for next month, I will not go for ceramic coating for my another car, i plan to try opti coat as i heard ( hope) it did not need to perform yearly maintenance.

Will let you guys know after few year coating the opti coat as I'm a guy like you all which look for opinion as well for the coating result,

as most of them give their opinion within 1st year of coating which that not most of us want to hear as the coating is expensive like respray the car.

Hope my true experience of ceramic pro coating can make you to decide.

Lucky TS did not went for coating. Seriously it is a waste of money.

Most important thing to take care of your car paint is avoid rain or tap water to dry under direct sunlight. This will leave minerals residue on the paint surface which is hard to remove later on.

My current practice is after washing or rinsing off the car, I will apply a coat of liquid wax for paint protection (any brand will do but I am using Turtle Wax 3x Carnuaba Wax). Fast, easy, less hassle and a lot cheaper than ceramic coating.

This!

The coating is useless if you park your car under hot sun everyday.
Mine gone in 2-3 months and need to re-coat again.

Yup same case as mine, will never do coating again! Luckily I didn't spend much on it unlike most people got con badly by spending thousands!

I'm happy with DIY <$60 DPro glass coating which I've applied on several household cars closed to a year and still looking and performing great albeit in between 3-6 mths topped up with SnS spray as maintenance. All this is achieved for under $150 (cost of materials) and neighbors envy the gloss and depth of color and washing is a bliss

I can agree to spend thousands is ridiculous

Review after coating for year for ceramic pro and optic coat which i reply at other post as well.

summary-

Ceramic pro ( mine gold package 7 year) - now they reduce to 5years-

Go for it if u want always shining condition but need to recoat twice or three time a year under warranty period - if u got times to do it every year

go for opti coat that no need recoat ( mine already 3 year plus) - not shining like ceramic pro but still easy wash- without need wax / polish.-
