PPF...I have Xpel on most of the car.
Then use a good sealer and detailer. |

No, it may add a tiny bit of shine to the matte hood but to be 100% honest i dont notice a difference. I did my SS 1le this way and have been doing my zle since i bought it this passed april.

I use P&S Beadmaker on everything on the ZLE. Tested a spot where the matte wrap folds under the hood. No change in appearance, works great on everything.

I use a sealer over the PPF and then use P&S Bead Maker as well after a wash. Between washes, I clean it up with P&S Paint Gloss Spray.

Collinite 845
This stuff is magical. If you want something with some mild paint correction properties, Klasse All-in-One is solid. |

1. PPF front Clip, rockers and behind each wheel. Not whole car.
2. Wash regularly with soap (I like Meguires Gold Wash) and water and soft microfiber mit. 3. Use wash mitt on outside of wheels and appropriate soft brush to clean insides of wheels. Use separate water bucket for wheels and tires vs. the rest of the car. I have a separate tire brush. 4. Dry gently with Waffle Towel, and then with Wholly Mammoth double-sided Microfiber rag. 5. Dress Tires and desired. 6. Remove any surface scratches with Meg. Scratch Remover Polish. 7. Wax every several weeks (I use Meg. Tech 2.0 or something like that). I use the sponge applicator that comes with the Wax, and then dedicated edgeless microfiber towels to remove the wax. 8. Glass Cleaner for windows. 9. Damp towel to wipe interior. 10. Occasional Alcantara cleaner on Steering Wheel, portions of Seats and Shifter Boot. Ceramic Coatings not needed or worth it (at least to me). Btw, you will get 100s of ideas here! |

Exactly what I am hoping and thanks for all your input! I was hoping for more realistic/user experiences vs the same 5 19.95$ sealant spray ads that rotate on facebook nonstop. Spoiler alert: they all beat each other in each other's testing

Like I previously said - PPF... Quick once over with a quality spray detailer and I'll be cutting the corners when you're still putting water in the bucket lol. Sorry.... Once you have experienced the joy of PPF you'll never go back. It's amazing in every respect. |

Lots of interesting comments about the ceramic coating.
I was not aware that some people were having issues with the ceramic coating after waxing their cars. I'm wondering if I should not have my Shellby ceramic coated.

You PPF'd the whole car? How much did that run? |

I've never heard anywhere that you're not supposed to polish it or clay it. I use Adam's spray detailer on my Camaro and hellcat, which are both ceramic coated, and they both come out looking amazing without any shadows or weirdness in the paint.
