13234475, I've been on the fence on coatings for a minute
Posted by spenzalii, Wed Feb-14-18 12:28 AM
I plan on polishing my car (and maybe my wife's) in the spring, but the debate over traditional sealants and wax verses ceramic coatings I haven't wrapped my head around. Coating is way more durable, but long term effects and possible micro fractioning do concern me a bit. Coming up from the old Turtle Wax days (ugh, that was the WORST to get off if it dried up) I'm all for easier, longer lasting products. At the same time, I know what tried and true products work and how to use them (CG Jet Seal and Collinite 845 FTW). The Si02 products out now, whether they be spray and hose based (like CarPro Hydro2) or a ceramic coating sound great on paper as far as ease of use, but longevity? I don't know...

As it stands coating my wheels wouldn't be worth it, as I need to get them stripped and repainted.
