[QUOTE="Norton, post: 15848202, member: 145307"] I'm not skilled enough to wetsand my car, like [URL='https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/members/blue-07.179885/']blue 07[/URL], so I opted to have it professionally ceramic coated. After a great deal of research, including much-appreciated advice from [URL='https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/members/nastygt500.75220/']NastyGT500[/URL], I decided to go with [URL='https://usa.gtechniq.com/products/auto/']Gtechniq[/URL] [URL='https://usa.gtechniq.com/products/auto/crystal-serum-ultra']Crystal Serum Ultra[/URL] topped with [URL='https://usa.gtechniq.com/products/auto/exo-ultra-durable-hydrophobic-coating']EXO[/URL]. Then, it was time to find a shop I could trust to do it right. There are only a few in Colorado that are Gtechniq-certified, narrowing the research in this arena. One took weeks to respond to my inquiry. Another responded quickly, confirming availability to do the work nearly two months in the future. Both of these provided boilerplate and (what I considered to be) high cost estimates. Thankfully, the third response came from [URL='https://dingmagic.com/']Ding Magic[/URL]. Their initial estimate was (what I considered to be) fair, and included an invitation to visit the shop, see the facilities, and meet the lead detailer. Doing so a few weeks ago clinched the plan. This week's weather was great, so it was time. When I dropped her off on Wednesday, the staff reminded me I was welcome to check progress any time over the next couple of days they'd have my car. I did so at least once daily, and was always pleased with what I found. I picked her up on Friday evening. The coating needs to finish curing over the next couple of days, but I'm already pleased with what I see... The whole car (including door jambs, under hood, headlights, tailights, brake calipers, wheel faces & barrels, and stripes) was fully detailed (including steam cleaning of the wheel wells & barrels), corrected, and coated. We'll see how it holds up in the coming months/years but, as of now, I'd recommend both Gtechniq and Ding Magic.
