There is a lot of noise around ceramic coatings, and most of it is written by people selling something. These are the answers I give customers in the shop, written down: what coatings do, what they will never do, what things actually cost, and how any of it holds up to Gulf Coast salt air and sun. Written by me, Randy, not by a marketing department.
Usually yes. Not always. As much as I would like to coat every vehicle that comes through the door, sometimes the math does not work, and I would rather lose the job than sell a lie.
Seven years is real. But how long yours lasts is decided mostly by you, not by the product. The two things that kill coatings, and how to tell if yours is still working.
Sometimes. There are dealerships doing this properly, and I will not pretend otherwise. But I redo about one a month, and the step they skip is always the same one.
Kind of. Not the answer that sells, but it is the true one. What a coating does for swirl marks, what it will never do for rock chips, and why 9H does not mean what you think.
Reading is free and so is the quote. Tell us what you drive and what you are trying to protect against, and we will tell you honestly what will and will not help.
