    Tell me how is it in your truck? They told me it is the definitive way of preventing scratch and swirls in your vehicle. Very tough, second only to diamond when it comes to toughness. No need to wax it anymore because it looks waxed already and it is a lifetime warranty. Can some tell their experience on this "ceramic coating"?

    Check out the detailing section. Lots of guys have done it with great results and positive feedback. Doesnt last forever but it's really a great option for a few years of protection.

    I install ceramic pro for wraps and watch a lot of these installers on some private groups we have on FB. It’s an amazing product, make sure you have them correct your paint and with the right installer you will have a brand new looking truck for years. Annual maintenance seems bizzare when spending thousands but Ceramic Pro itself goes on your carfax and can protect the resale of your truck. Pm me if you need help finding someone or have questions. I don’t install their paint coatings but I keep up on everything they do.

    Are you thinking of having it done, or doing it yourself?
    I’ve had CQuartz sitting on my shelf for a while, just haven’t found the time to put it on. If you have the skill and tools to do it yourself, you’ll save a ton of money.

    All of my vehicles are coated with Opti-Coat Pro Plus Ceramic Coating. Was the best $900 each spent and all future vehicles will be coated.

    I just put Mckees 37 ceramic coating on my Tundra a couple of days ago actually. With Mckees the recommend using the coating prep polish before applying the coating and there's no need to wipe down with diluted ISA. To my dismay though after I put the coating on and it wasn't very shiny I learned that my Super White Tundra us a single step process and the prep polish is not enough to prepare the paint. They do have a product for this but with no local Mckees dealers around so I used M205 (Ultimate Compound would work as well I'm sure) then wiped down truck with ISA and reapplied coating. The coating is butter smooth and repels water nicely.
