Default New ceramic pro, what do you think?

Hi guys, newbie here but I've been lurking for a while. Recently just got my 1st Pcar and of course I have to show it off! I just had the ceramic pro gold done on it and I tested it in the rain the other day. I was really impressed with the way the water just flew off it. I didn't even need to use the wipers. Hoping that this lasts a good long time.

Thanks. What an incredible car, I can't believe I've waited so long. When I bought the car I thought it was perfect. Then I started looking on this forum. So far I've done the exhaust, wheel spacers, and the ceramic pro. I'm sure this is only the beginning 😀

It's a multi layer paint application that offers some protection from road debrus and offers a hydrophobic effect that makes cleaning much much easier. It also brings out the color of the vehicle once paint correction is done. There's a few you tube videos that offer a better explanation. For me it's all about the cleaning. Supposedly nothing stickers to the car, i.e. Brake dust, tar etc.

Protection from debris? No. Nothing like film does.

Hydrophobic? Yes. Nailed it.

OP: lovely car!

OK, so I'm clueless about the combo - seen it mentioned - of a film like XPel and Ceramic Pro. So, does one treat all the paint w/ ceramic coating first - all over - then film over the areas at greatest risk of chipping?

Or does one only finish the paintwork that is not already covered in a film?

The pros will:

1) Full paint correction
2) Apply Film
3) Nano coat op top of film and remaining painted areas
