Ceramic coating - worth it?

[IndecisiveOne]

Anyone have leads on PPF and ceramic coating in Abilene area?

I have the same question about the Kansas City area.

Just picked mine up from getting Ceramic & PPF. Looks amazing and feels even better! Here's what I had them do:

- 45% ceramic tint applied to front windows
- Paint Correction
- SunTek Ultra PPF applied to Front Bumper, Headlights, Fog Lights, Orange Grille Stripe, Mirrors, B-Pillars, and Entire Hood
- 2 Layers of Pro 9H Ceramic applied to all painted surfaces
- 1 Layer of Pro 9H Ceramic applied to glass, plastic, and all 5 wheels

They told me not to wash it or even dust it off for 7-10 days while the ceramic cures. After 7-10 days, I'm supposed to bring it back for its first car wash where they will give me the proper care instructions.

If you’re prone to use quickie washes do not it will compromise the ceramic coating significantly

Whatever you decide like many mentioned don’t do the dealer option to ceramic coat…if you decide to do it yourself i used apex surface protection and would recommend…

I see you are Florida, as am I. Looking at doing it myself and have looked in Apex. How has it been holding up? And did you have to do the certification that is mentioned to have the warranty?

So the coating is coming up on 1 year and I love it. Holding up great amidst the harsh Florida weather. Herr is my disclaimer…I wash the Tremor once a month or at minimum every other month…each time, I have been hitting it with the re-hydra sheet maintenance product each time. As far as the certification, i did not do that but have been a hobbyist for 7 years now that I felt comfortable doing it without the certification…In 7 years i have used many reasonably priced products, this has become my all time favorite product until something else dethrones it.

Thanks for information. I watched his application video and it seems pretty straight forward. He mentions the warranty and certification is all.
