Car was just ceramic coated today and this is what she looks like!
Just got her ceramic coated today. This is the final product. Haven't been home yet to see her in person but here she is. Pardon a little surface rust on the rotors. Have that all cleaned up soon lol. The engine bay is done too, just no pics yet.

Did you use something like cquartz finest? I have used it and it is awesome. If that is what you used get some reload by carpro, and keep on the car after a wash, your ceramic coating will last for many many years.

Actually my buddy has a detailing business. Has had it for about 10 years. Damn good at what he does. Some of the high end stuff he does is absolutely insane. He uses the same stuff. One of those 1000-1300 dollar deals at a friendly discount. Otherwise I prob couldn't afford it or justify it lol. He even got out the rock chips and few scratches I had. I don't see 1 rock chip on the car. I'm not 100% up to date on my product because I'm not a detailer lol. But he used ceramic pro 9H and ceramic pro light. Did something on the windshield. All the windows and the wheels. Even did a little under the hood. I didn't het home until late so I couldn't take pics myself. I'll get some this weekend. Supposed to rain tomorrow here and Friday. Not supposed to drive it for 3 or 4 days.

This seems to be pretty much a negatively opinionated based article on the whole idea of what I did. All I know is that it looks great and I don't feel like I wasted my money. Personally it seems like you are trying to shit on my parade. Instead of sharing a negative opinion on something someone is proud of, try biting your tongue and just being happy for someone or take your opinions somewhere else. This was supposed to be a show and tell post. Not a " criticise my decision" post. If you are honestly that much of emotional cripple that you have to try to bring others down about something they should be happy and proud of then i challenge you to re-evaluate your own being before judging others people's choices. I guess I brought this on myself. I forgot that society was a place where if someone doesn't agree, it's wrong. Maybe I thought it would be a little different within a " family " that obviously shared the same interest. Sorry for my rant everyone. Please, feel free to say yay or nay on the photos. 😊 |

I also own a 1996 Impala SS that has just over 9K on the clock, never seen snow, dirt roads and she has never be left outside at night! I have used some of the worlds finest waxes that have had nothing but raving reviews, the shine I have on my black beauty does not compare to yours. I would without question use your detailer. Remember, you get what you pay for. Your car rocks!

Stunning.
I just jumped into the ceramic coating world this past spring and tried Adams line of ceramic coatings (Paint, Wheel and Trim). Began with the wife's new '17 GTI, then did the Camaro, then my fathers 04 GTO. The stuff is simply amazing. Washing a car that's been ceramic coated is unbelievable too as the dirt literally falls right off the paint with the blast of a hose. Nothing sticks to it. |
