A local shop wants to do my truck. I'm intrigued but I ain't easy.

I'm thinking, if I let him do it, I'll have the luggage rack powder coated at the same time.

I do not believe that, with al the enthusiasts here, nobody knows anything about the so-called ceramic paint.

I'm asking y'all, again, to share.

That's what he calling it. I doubt it's actually a ceramic 'cause it seems to me that ceramic can't flex and bend enough. I'm it's some kind of polymer, but whatever.

I'm curious about it toughness, longevity, cost, stuff like that.

i was looking around at that stuff and came across this vid.

im sure all that polishing did a majority of the look, but the ceramic coating seems to make it really pop out.

i ended up using clay bar and Adams h2o guard and gloss. feels smooth as a babys bottom, when it gets dirty looking a hard rain seems to wash it off.

I’ve got my Escalade coated in Ceramic Pro Sport it’s guaranteed for 6 months but can last up to a year if properly maintained, there’s others that last longer, makes washing it a breeze

Sorry for the lateness of my response. Was catering an event. Yes the Carnatic coatings can be quite the fantastic products when done properly. I’ve seen many companies out there so I’m not sure which is the best. Most that I’ve seen are supposed to be good for a year. However I’ve seen coatings that guarantee up to 5 years worth of protection! I haven’t gotten into doing coatings, but that’s because I know a lot of the brands to even be able to use their stuff require a detailer to take their time allotted course to be certified as an installer and it’s very expensive. It’s a good idea though. Chemical guys makes a coating called carbon C9 that I’m interested in that has that same affect! @homesick , if you decide to let the guy do it be sure to give us feedback and post pics! We love pics, escpiecially of a good clean truck!! :D
