Ceramic Pro - failure?
#61
It appears that most of the skeptics, including myself, live in areas of the country that see the harshest of weather conditions. Those that are fortunate enough to live in the SW or in FL don't have nearly the same adverse conditions that the rest of us face. I formerly resided in Southern CA where vehicles needed cleaning far less often and could easily be rinsed off with little to no effort, this was long before ceramic coatings and other similar products were even available.

the one part from your routine that concerns me is ONR...I don’t believe that is compatible with any nano product as it contains polymers or a gloss enhancer. I’m not 100% sure, so you’ll have to research that.
If it does contain any “waxes” or gloss enhancers, then it’s clogging the nano coating. Same goes for your soaps...there are many great soaps out there, but that doesn’t mean they’re nano-compatible...make sure you verify that.
and to clarify....nano isn’t washed off by any chemical, at least a quality nano products applied correctly...nano is removed via friction...polishing off or years of washing and/or wiping.
hope this helps.
i understand your frustration, but want you to be well-informed and educated before going to the installer and making a claim.

I assume that the more you wash a car that has ceramic coating (ie, Opti-coat Plus) the shorter the lifespan? They state it has a 5 year warranty but I guess that is not how long it lasts, right?
