Default Ceramic in Atlanta

Hello,

My 718 is at the Jacksonville port and will be headed to Atlanta soon. I want to get ceramic coating, but I’m unsure if I should get the dealership to apply that or a detail shop. DIY is not an option.

Hennessy uses Fusion Plus but I’m sure I could find other products and possibly better expertise at nearby detailers.

Any advice would be much appreciated!! TIA

I had Hennessy do mine last year when I picked mine up, and I’ve also used Atlanta Ceramic Coating and PPF for several cars. Me cars are generally garaged, and I’ve been happy with both so far.

I have used AP3 in Alpharetta and was very happy with the results. (PPF, tint and ceramic).

Just dropped my Cayenne GTS there yesterday.

This was just getting accepted:



I interviewed a bunch.

Any reason you’re not getting PPF?

I've used AP3 a handful of times. Very good work on PPF and Ceramic

I had Hennessy do it. I won't type the whole exchange, but the first price they gave me was ridiculous. I told them I was going to take it somewhere else that I had an estimate from (see below) and they eventually matched the price. It was definitely very convenient having it done before delivery and they look to have done a nice job. One thing I will recommend that I didn't do is get the rocker panel below the door up through the the fender in front of the rear wheel. That was not included in the 'premium kit' that I got but when I look at the car now it looks very vulnerable.

The estimate I got and place I would recommend highly is Cartunes in Atlanta. They did my wife's BMW and it came out really nice. Ask for Emran and he will go over everything with you. That was my first car getting PPF and ceramic and he explained everything in great detail and was very helpful and responsive to questions.

Default AP3

As the OP, I wanted to update this thread. I ended up going with AP3 for ceramic and tinting. I checked out three providers and AP3 stood out from the pack IMO. They have an excellent reputation and work with a lot of luxury cars. They did an awesome job and I highly recommend them.

Just had my SRS PPF'd and Ceramic coated down here in Boca Raton, FL. But, I'm watching this thread closely as I move to Marietta (East Cobb County) within the next month or two.
Nice to know what shops people trust and reccomend, but also hopefully get to bump into some of you for some spirited driving.

I've had several cars PPF and ceramic by AP3 and all were done extremely well
