The main benefit of Ceramic is it makes it easier to wash and rain/hose will often be enough to make the car "look" clean again. With a good coating, you can rinse off a lot without having to wash (it is by no means "clean", but looks cleaner for longer).This might be a dumb question but is there a point in getting ceramic coat done without PPF as well?
I know itās probably a sin but Iāve had my car for a few months and do not have either so my car has a few spots of chip paint :-( itās crazy, I try my best to avoid debris but my car is like a magnet for it.
Where are your pics?I just dropped mine off to get IGL Kenzo ceramic tomorrow. I've never had a car coated before. Will post pics when it's back.
They are doing the wheels and calipers too. Total out the the door is $1,250. Not sure if that's good or not. Sounds reasonable though.
Have to disagree here on multiple points (doing my best to leave aside my personal choice to purchase a professional coating)ceramic is ceramic is ceramic. if its a real proper product then its all the same thing. Just like sio2 ( silicon dioxide ) is sio2 is sio2. it can all be only made one way or its no longer those compounds. everything else in the bottle is just carrier agents. there is zero difference in the protective qualities of a 20 dollar ceramic vs a 200 ceramic. shops charge all over the place and you are not paying for the coating your paying for the warranty which is basically just them saying yeah we know we are gonna have to reapply it and we are just getting our money for the labor upfront by calling it a warranty. I have used coatings now for many many years and I have doe them all. basically they are all the same and left alone your gonna need to reapply them twice a year. Its basically all BS they really don't do much more then a good paint sealant wax. and sio2 and ceramic 100 percent will absolutely not stop a rock chip thats a bunch of BS garbage. Not even PPF will stop a rock hurling at you at 100 miles an hour. I had xpel 10 year film put on mine and on way home it got punctured. would have been 1000 times worse with out it but it still punctured it. if you want real protection get ppf. ceramic is mostly a gimmick to drain your wallets.
Its like HDMI cables. HDMI runs off a standard. If made properly. There is zero difference in a included HDMI cable or a mid grade or a expensive one or even some that cost 400 dollars. they all do the exact same thing and carry the exact same signal. its all snake oil to separate you from your money. you are paying for nothing. A 2 dollar cable does the exact same thing as a 400 cable. same with ceramic and sio2
