I did the ceramic pro 5 coats and also Expel clear bra 3K, but well worth it! I track my car and clean up is a snap.

Put gas last night in my Mosaic Black Z. Under the lights at the station you could really see the swirls and cob webs in the paint of my 5 month old Z. I decided then to do the ceramic treatment. They are doing the paint correction and 2 coats of Ceramic Pro. No wheels or glass. I will do those myself with Rejex. 1400.00. Seems like a lot to me but I have seen his work and another Mosaic Black Z he did and it is outstanding.

I paid $750 for 2 coats of Ceramic Pro. That included the glass and wheels. But, they were having a special. Normal price is $1400, so I'd say that's about right. It does sound expensive, but it's worth it honestly.

ZL1 $4500 paint correction, full clear bra, 4 coats ceramic pro, 2 on windows, removed wheels..2 coats calipers and wheels.
New Charger..I did mild paint correction, polymer paint seal, carnuaba wax and Rain-X on windows. Main cost involved purchasing Griots G21 orbital buffer, but this unit made everything fast and safe.

I have a buddy here in Houston that does great work. Prices are very competitive, the outcome is like no other considering the price. I know you're a bit far out, if you want to talk to him pm me I'll set you in the the right direction.

Where did you go? I went to Siramic Detail out in Katy. Seems to do good work out there. I'm headed up there in a few minutes to get my 2nd coat done.

Do you ceramic coat then put the clear bra on after or clear bra then ceramic coat?

Bra goes on first, then ceramic coat but don’t let them charge you a lot because putting ceramic on a film requires no prep like paint.

Thanks Glen!

All the prep is before the bra. Also, you want them to remove the wheels prior to prep and coating wheels and calipers.
