Paint correction,ceramic coating and New double slat grills
I had my 2018 professionally corrected and ceramic coated. Took about 12 hours as there was an issue when we took the car into direct sunlight but it was resolved. I never thought Alpine White would pop like this. I can say I’ve never seen white with this much gloss. It looks wet. The paint is so slippery
I actually went down a short gravel road to a landscaping site that was dusty and gravel as well. When I got home. Not a spec on the car. Amazing. I think the only part about the coating that is bad. I actually enjoy washing my cars. With the coating I bet I can go three weeks. I had the old chrome grill puller when I had it coated, and the new black one was on the bench and had the ceramic applied The wheels were done off the vehicle so all surfaces were coated. ( I had the snow tires on the car during the paint correction) Also had the tires off and coated all the plastic trim and felt in the wheel wells. Also had the rubber ceramic coated with a tire dressing. We will se how this holds up but I am extremely happy with how much gloss the entire car has. Plus the piano black and wood trim was polished and ceramic coated. Hope this will help with keeping the scratches to a minimum. I posted a few pics. |

There was a mistake made during the correction so all in 12 hours. I had a pro do it and was not happy with some things and had him re do the entire vehicle. But in the end 90% of any swirls are gone and the paint pops

I’m not sure what happened. I’ve used this guy before. He does all my father in laws Hot rods. He is good at what he does. I’m thinking something got into his pad and then messed up the finish. He re did the entire car and fixed it.
My pics don’t do it Justice. The paint drips. It has so much gloss and depth to it. Which is hard to get with white. Especially when the sun is just settling down and there are some shadows. It’s insane. I drove it on a gravel road for a few KM. And nothing stuck. Not one piece of dust. |

Which coating did you go with? I've got Opticoat Pro on mine and it's holding up really well for 3.5 years.
