A friend and fellow Porschephile suggested I seriously consider some protection for my freshly painted car. I'm not a huge fan of film or wraps, although I understand the appeal. We took a look at a car at Spokane Parade that used the following protection method: ceramicpro.com I have to say I was impressed after talking to the car owner. Pricey, but my friend pointed out that it was cheaper than another quality paint job.
Anyone have experience with this product or similar technologies? Pros, cons, alternate suggestions? TIA - MR |

The new XPEL coating is very cool, it's self healing when heat is applied (either parking in sun or heat-gun) to get scratches in the coating.
Be sure to do a paint correction and sealant before putting it on, so it looks tip-top. I may be in the minority here, but I always think of 'ceramic' coating as a high priced paint sealant. |
