Ceramic Coating?
What have you tried and what were your results? Im considering ceramic coating but Ive never used it before. The youtube video of the hyper blue ZL1 getting 10 coats of ceramic is pretty amazing.

If you have detailed before then it's not to difficult. There are several Youtube videos on the net that might help you make the decision to DIY. Just remember make sure you prep the paint so that it's scratch and swirl free before applying the coating. Also make sure you have a garage that has very good lighting, this is critical to insure you don't miss spots and you remove it completely once ready to be removed or you'll have streaking.

Mine is scheduled to go to the Detailer the first weekend in May. Having CQuartz Finest done. I don't know enough about "paint correction", and application, so leaving it to a professional to do..... Plus he's a good friend of mine so I got a pretty decent deal.......

I took my ZL1 right from the dealer to the Xpel, Ceramic Coating, Tint guy. All three are being done now. Should have the car back early this week.
45% tint since I wanted subtle and didn't want tracks not letting me on. Xpel on entire front and rockers. Ceramic 9H over everything.

Thanks! The detailer I used did a real nice job installing the film and coating.

Check out Finishline Auto Cosmetics in N OKC. He does all the top end cars around here. Look at his Facebook or Instagram page. He did my Mosaic Black 2017 ZL1 and it looks great.

I am having mine done the week of 4/3. I was originally going to do Ceramic coating over Xpel on Black W/CF hood insert, but decided on doing a color change wrap with Ceramic instead. Will post picts. after the job is complete.
