    Did they do any sort of correction before applying the ceramic?

    Yes, 3 guys worked fast on my truck. Washed, high speed polished it , ceramic coated the truck, the windshield plus the wheels. Took them a little over 5 hours.

    For the record...the truck looks great. Based on your post...I have some questions/comments:

    If they only polished it....very little correction was likely done....although it also may not have needed much. If they polished without doing a full decontamination (mechanical and chemical)....they polished right over any contaminants embedded in the clearcoat....which are now sealed in under the coating. Prior to the application of the coating, did they prep the surface to remove any oils left behind during the polishing stage? Coatings adhere best to clean clearcoat.

    Do you know what brand of ceramic they used? Since it's listed as a 3-year coating, was any type of written warranty provided? If so, what are your maintenance responsibilities so that the warranty is not voided? Did they recommend any products (soap, detailer) that you would use to properly clean and maintain your coating?
