The car looks spectacular. Is it that shiny because of a permanent treatment/correction or because of the ceramic coating that will fade and swirls will surface again and will need another treatment?
And what can be done if it gets taken to the local Kosovan Car Wash... shocking before, stunning after.
Don’t know what you pay in the Uk but this is excellent.Yours looks great now! I am tempted with ceramic coating, as I'm starting to fall out of love with the whole polishing routine. Takes too much time.
But IMO a pro detail and ceramic is so expensive.
Hi, i seen it before the coating went on and it was still shiny, all the swirls etc have been polished out. There are still some visible scratches if you get right into it but these were slightly deeper . I can only find two.The car looks spectacular.

Its definitely is expensive, i wasn’t sure but glad I did, just need to wash it properly and in a few years top up the coating which will be a lot less as the correction has already been doneYours looks great now!

Hi,£900 all in, I would be happy with that! I was quoted £2000. Where is this guy located ?
Sure am, it was the only thing that bothered me about the car, swore i would never buy black again but loved the car so much i couldn't resist. Ceramic getting its 1st test as its been torrential here all day!That looks excellent, good job! You must be delighted.
Are you watching in amazement as the rain just falls off?Ceramic getting its 1st test as its been torrential here all day!
Yeah, was outside earlier and it just flows!! Was looking at possibly getting the front done with PPF, stone chips are the biggest pain and i use the car in winter all be it not too often. Noticed a company up here doing front ends for around £500, not sure how good that is.Are you watching in amazement as the rain just falls off?
Mine is so easy to wash since it got coated, but that was three years ago so it's now in for an enhancement detail (I think) and fresh front PPF then more Gtechniq stuff. The last PPF wasn't fitted brilliantly - done in a bit of a hurry - but lasted ok and did a great job of keeping the paint free of swirls and stone-chips.
£500 sounds a bit 'cheap'. You might find for that you get pre-cut PPF which is a bit small and hence you'd get obvious PPF lines which over time would accumulate dirt and become unsightly. Find somewhere that uses templates but cuts large so the film can wrap around corners, but only ever choose somewhere that doesn't cut on the car.Yeah, was outside earlier and it just flows!!

Ah, it does mention pre-cut, i'll have a look around. Cheers£500 sounds a bit 'cheap'.

£300 should get you the bumper only (which is 90% of the risk), £1-1.5k should get a full frontal including mirrors.
Exactly what wizardry they use I'm not sure, but templates are good, pre-cut can be good (as long as they cut large) and not cutting on the car is mandatory unless they employee surgeons with rock steady hands.Ah, it does mention pre-cut, i'll have a look around. Cheers
