My understanding is it’s a tougher coating that helps repel water and dirt much better than wax. Think of it as a second clear coat that last for about a year. They key is the paint correction as the coating itself doesn’t really hide blemishes.

Beautiful car nicely detailed. I’m in the DFW area and have an SS Redline convertible. Mine is the only one I’ve seen in the wild. Are they rare where you live?

Mine is the only one that I have seen in the Eastern Washington area. I like that the redlines are a little different.

I live in Calgary AB where we are having record snow falls. I believe we are a brother hood of snow bound individuals awaiting spring. The suns arrival is an eventuality, but never soon enough. Ceramic is superior to all most any wax.

Last week it warmed up enough to drive it a couple days. The extended forcast doesn't look good though.

Black looks so darn sexy clean but as soon as it hit's the outside it attracts all kinds of dust. But anyway great job looks perfect.

+1. I never wanted to pull it out of the garage after it was all detailed and waxed. Then 10 ft down the road, there'd always be something... a small puddle. A patch of dirt. Wind. But it's soooooo so pretty when they're spotless & clean. It's that one fleeting moment that makes it all worth it lol
