Ceramic coating

[Ballistic]

Word of advice, Dont buy into any of the long year warranty's there just marketing.

Im a Big CarPro Cquartz fan been installing it for years, Modesta is my 2nd favorite. If you are up for it, you could have a detail shop correct and polish and coat it yourself. would save you a decent amount, and if you take your time its not that bad to apply just a little intimidating at first.

I will do a wrap before a coat but thats just me. And I like changing colors every year or two.

That would be best, the xpel quote I received was $7k for the whole truck that’s a lot more then the $200 in supplies it cost me to ceramic coat...[emoji23]

Xpel is nice but I meant vinyl. I can do vinyl cheaply myself. One of these days I need to try using a ceramic coat kit myself.

Most high quality ceramic coating is only supplied to authorised installers.

Haven't seen it with my own eyes yet....I pick it up Thursday afternoon.

But here's my truck before and after Cquartz and Xpel'd front.

Threw in the Rappygraphics pic...well, because it's bad ass!

Here to recommend AMMO Reflex, since no one else has. You can apply it to trim, which is nice. Easier to apply than other coatings, but doesn't last as long either.

Getting my truck done tomorrow with this. If anyone needs a shop in Chicago Area let me know I got a good shop that is reasonably priced

Does anyone have an opinion on this ceramic coating? I am considering getting a quote but I understand that it is pretty expensive.

I had my Raptor ceramic coated a cpl of wks after I got in December of 16 and it's been over a yr and some change later and to me it was worth EVERY penny. Keeping the truck clean and washing it is snap because it's so slippery barely anything sticks to it. I paid for the body, trim, wheel and interior kits and my buddy installed it for right around $400 and I had enough leftover to do my wife Jeep unlimited and her white Jeep came out amazing. I'm almost a little more impressed with her Jeep because it had scratches and just little orange iron spots all over it and was just starting to look older. My son bought a new F150 and I had him to that truck as well. He used Adam's on my truck and my wife's Jeep and CQuartz on his F150. The F150's paint color really responded well to it and the paint/shine looks 6" deep when you look it.
