I did full ppf on my car and the local installer uses LLumar. LLumar platinum (which I got) has hydrophobic properties which as I understand it is a big selling point for ceramic coating. The shop didn't even try to up-sell me the ceramic coating. I believe if you get XPEL (the gold standard for ppf) or any other company that you should get ceramic over it.

OP- how bad was the paint job as originally delivered that you needed 40 hours of correction? Do you have any before pics?

just a FYI: I have an 18 and I spent 40 hours on my paint also. Sure from the naked uneducated eye, paint looked great. once you put a light on it the gremlins will appear. granted I'm anal for sure but 3-4 days working the paint is not unusual. Sure I could have used products with fillers in them to mask it temporally but that's not how I roll...

Also: I'm almost certain that if I spent 40 hours in the span of a week working my paint, my wife would kill me. |
