Wow! That looks unbelievable! That is amazing

He are a few pics I took after a rain on the graphene coating.

First 2 are during the rain, the next 2 are after sitting in hood for a day in sun and what not. Also I haven't touched the paint yet with anything.

Needless to say I am extremely happy...

I am again amazed. I’m sold! I don’t think I’ll apply it myself, depends on how much, but when I get my new truck I’m getting it coated immediately. Thanks so much preferd!

No problem brotha.

To me it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay. In the end the easy with which it takes me to get back to clean and glossy is nothing due to the coating...


Just so people know I paid $800 ($650 US) canadian for the 7year graphene ceramic coating. To me that was an absolute Steal!

$650! All day long! I live in Colorado and it seems everything is super expensive. If I could get that for $650! All day long!

I guess the only problem is I can’t order the truck I want cuz of the stupidity that’s plaguing our great country right now. Covid, chips, trucking and every other excuse they could come up with.

Using a si02 detailing spray or other similar products give you a temporary coating effect. Like coatings the better you prepare the surface the better the results. I often tell diy’ers that are on the fence to spend a weekend cleaning and then applying good si02 detail spray most net 14-30 days of protection and ceramic behaviors.
I think the marketing ruined a lot of expectations and consumers thought ceramics were a self cleaning miracle along with other myths. Like scratch resistant etc. If maintenance washes are not done a film will cover the coating and make it seem like it’s gone or not working anymore. There are million torture test you tube videos on this that 90% of them are not accurate most of the time the chemicals used are not actually breaking the coating down but are forming a layer on top of the coating making it appear that it has failed.
I kind of lost where I was going with this but the message to convey is do your own test before buying a $60-$200 bottle or paying $800+ to have it all done if you don’t think it’s worth it. It’s not for everyone but I can say if you keep a clean truck then it’s worth every penny or every hour if you do it yourself. Time is valuable and it one of the things in life you don’t get back.

I agree and I apologize. I admit nowadays I’m a bit uptight about the lack of good in some and I should have said nothing but couldn’t. Sorry to all. Even you Cheechdog. My bad.

I get that way too and I will say it again I didn't mean to sound negative at all ... I too apologize to you guys as I don't come here to argue or want others to think I am a "****" lol ... thanks @thebuilderman seriously for the apology and hopefully you accept mine too ...

Little more detail please? Are you ceramic coating the truck? If yes then you can apply ceramic to the matte vinyl decals. If you’re looking to protect them from the sun and maintain them I would recommend a matte detail spray that you would apply every wash

I removed them from my truck I had been coating with 303 aerospace to keep them looking good but if you like them just coat over them.

If you want to spend the extra money I think they now have a specific ceramic coating for matte decals.

Yes want to coat the truck, but read where they say to use a special one for the matt.

I got lucky too. Its nice outside. I knocked out two. Well the Charger wasn't bad. Two minor scratches in the mirrors a polish and the coated. Wifes van was worse then I thought. Clay, scratch remover, polish, and coated. I did the wheels on them too.

Thank you! I used my Adams ceramic detailer on the Charger today. Man it pops for silver. I am going to pull the wheels on the Charger next weekend and clean the back side. Its not bad, but I am debating on ceramic coating my calipers. Has anyone done this?

Great color combo...

Hmmm. Curious too. I'm not sure about the longevity of it due to the heat created by the calipers.

I will try it and see. It doesn't see a lot of miles. Its only had 2.5k miles put on since last April.
