It would be more beneficial than any wax or sealant and last a 1-2 years depending on washing maintenance .

The key part of ceramic coating is protection, but to get the best looks out of a coating the prep is everything.

You can was a car with Dawn dish soap, whip down with Prep and coat any car, but it will not look brand new. Coatings have no fillers and do not hide any paint defects like fading, scratches or oxidation.

‘Prepping a car for a coating is a long process depending on how bad the paint at the beginning without any wax and after stripping the wax with Dawn or any wax sealer remover.

The rule of thumb with coatings is Get you paint as perfect as you can with your tool and abilities and the wipe down with alcohol prep and then coat it. If you paint looks great after it is all polished out that’s what it will look like with a ceramic coating. I will be very protective UV highly hydrophobic coating that will last a year easy and two years with basic wash maintenance and occasional indoor storage.


If you have any other questions just let me know and I will be glad to answer them for you. I have fully detailed cars for years and have been coating for the past 6 years. I only coat cars now at the end of detailing work now.

Not mine, but I got a quick pic of a MINI at the Arc d'Triomphe when I visited Paris last month. Loved seeing all the MINIs in Europe!

 

You can ceramic coat any car. You just have to remove all the wax and sealants with a Dawn carwash. Then polish out the car, wipe it down with alcohol prep and start coating.

So fast the camera could not capture the whole car.

 

My happy place!

 

Went to see the car today (clear coating) and it looked pretty good. I should get it back this week I hope.

 

Thanks. It's not worthy of a closer shot, can't come close to those on here, but it's loved.[emoji4]

Thanks, sir. To most, cars are an appliance. This 1? It's easy to hate....but way easier to love. It has taught me patience & tolerance....has forged me lasting friendships. A blessing. A keeper.[emoji4]

I probably need some go-fast stripes. You can see the rims better in this light.
