Re: Ceramic coating

A ceramic is only as good as the prep that is put into it first.. A car should be de-contaminated ( mine from new had loads of iron deposits on it ) but if it's new then you could (depending on how it's been prepared by the dealer ) dispense with a clay bar and go straight to machine polish which gi...

Decline and get it professionally ceramic coated ...
