[QUOTE="dan1982, post: 16912393, member: 196375"] Dont let them talk you into the almost 1000 dollar ceramic coating... i wish i just skipped the dealer cxeramic coating and had an independant local shop with a good reputation do it. Mine looks great... but any new car looks great. I would be much happier if i had a independant shop do it and be local for the booster treatments. The 5 year ceramic coating needs booster treatments every year. I did the booster treatment myself. Cost me 80 bucks for the 3M booster spray. Since then... ive learned how to ceramic coat and i did a better job than the dealer. Its not voodoo magic... u can do it youself with a new car.... very little prep work/ no clay bar intense cleaning required. Wait for a cloudy day so that you can do the leveling perfectly/ u see reflections better when its cloudy..... and then DONT let the car get wet for at least a week. The "leveling" is the important part. Its NOT the same as buffing a waxed car. YOU DONT actually buff the ceramic coating. you reomve the dried material and THEN level it off and look for a uniform finish. Dont rub aggressively or fast and REMOVE all the ceramic u just laid down. not much pressure, not too fast.
