Ceramic coat seats?
Hey everyone.
My first 911 (C2S) should arrive tomorrow.
I'm leaning towards getting ceramic coat interior and exterior to help keep it clean.
Regarding the interior, I have red ventilated seats.
I'm being told to definitely get them ceramic coated by someone that has a Ferrari with red seats, to help protect them from discoloration, from dirt, and even blue jeans staining them.
Is there any risk to ceramic potentially staining red seats?
Issues with ventilated seats becoming plugged and not working well afterwards?
I appreciate any thoughts you might have.
Thanks in advance.

I ceramic coated red seats in a prior Audi. No issues. You will notice the color is going to be ever so slightly different on any color, but the only way you’d notice is if you missed a spot. They were not ventilated but the coating is the consistency of water so it isn’t going to plug the seats or anything. It does help make cleaning easier. Would highly recommend it.
As a side note, in my GT3 which is a weekend car I still use a traditional conditioner instead of coating. It doesn’t see the same use that a daily driver sees and I enjoy the process of conditioning every couple of months.

Ceramic coating the seats is a fairly quick and simple task. I have not done them in any of our P-Cars, but did them in our BMW and Ford Exploder. I didn't see any improvement or much value after I installed the ceramic coating. It did make the leather appear shinier and the feel was a slicker feel with little to no grabbiness.
I won't do it again, just in our case, we don't drive the vehicles enough nor put enough stress (dirt, hauling, kids, pets, etc.) on the leather inside to warrant installing ceramic again. That's just my particular use case.
I don't think you can go wrong either way, whatever you decide, you'll be fine.
Yes, ceramic coat the exterior though - that will bring a smile to your face every time you wash it.
