Ceramic Coating

[Fusilier]

Has anybody had their car ceramic coated, thinking of doing it to one of my fleet, but wondering if anybody has had it done, the coating costs around £70 for a good kit, and I would do it myself, after removing all the current wax and polish

Many thanks

I’m about to do mine when I’m on holiday in a few weeks. It has to be absolutely spot on as trying to fix a mistake later sometimes requires a wet sand

Yes it does, it has to be spotless, plan is to try it on wheels first, but car will be washed then machine polished, and wiped down with IPA a few times, and then finally awipe down with:

What kit are you planning to use t? I am looking at that and also the Sonax Profiline Ceramic Coating CC36 and the Car Pro Quartz CCUK

I've been following this subject but it seems you need laboratory like conditions to do it properly (ie spray booth filtered conditions etc)

Otherwise dust and particles is going to spoilt the results.
Doing it outside sounds like a no no anyway

I would like to know more on this. Be very interested in getting Banana done.

to get it done professionally by a certified detailer, it will cost around £600+

Agreed, and not to be done outside, I would do it in my Man Cave, which is quite clean, and with the newer products it flashes off in around 40/50 seconds, so quite safe to use.

Will let you know how I get on after doing the wheels first

Hi Stuart, I’ve bought GTECHNIQ Exo and their Crystal Serum Light along with their panel wipe. I bought 5lts of normal trade panel wipe so I’ll use it first

I'm just a tad wary of the fancy product names they come up with to justify the price !
(like the glorified pub grub names..............

Ceramic sounds like just another form glaze.
Could be wrong but just saying !!!!

Basically it is .. but a little more durable than the average sealant
