I've always been skeptical of paint protection when buying a car because I religiously wash and wax my cars regularly. I have however heard that the new ceramic coating, particularly the Opti-Coat Pro+ might be worth looking at.
Anyone had it done?
Got a quote for $1145 to have it done - is it worth it?
The big thing to remember with this product and like most things.......its all about preparation and application.
The guy that did our has been detailing cars for 25 years and spends a whole day on the car. He even gets colour matched paint to fill in any imperfections.
As he states......the coating protects the car from you and me.
I would never get it done through a dealer as I don't believe that they would follow the process 100%.
Agree with Cherokee30D. The preparation is the most important part so make sure you get someone reputable.
I spent 5 days in prep and then applied the coating myself.
