Ceramic coating is 🔥

[MAGS1]

Thanks, I'll dig in.

I used the Ethos Graphene V2 by the way. Great product in my opinion. Easy to apply.

Which shop? BTW you planning to do any local cars and coffee events? Be cool to meet up with another NWF owner. There’s about half a dozen GT500s in our area but I’ve only met one of the owners.

Greg Mills did it for me. He’s got a small shop in Val-p by the coke a cola plant. I would like to hit up some of the c&c events for sure. Seems like I’ve always had something going on lately. Anything going on this weekend?

Car looks awesome. Are the Nittos stock size?

They are 305/35/20 in the rear. I thought about doing the 315/35’s but was worried about rubbing so I went with these. No regrets and they worked well so far.

Where you located? I’m in Navarre but work on Hurlburt.

And I’m in Crestview and work on Eglin.

Yea that does look really good. The color helps too. Is that directly on top of the paint or ceramic on PPF? Very nice.

Not sure if this is directed at myself but I do not have PPF on it at this point.

For the ignorant me, what does the treatment consist of?
How much did it cost? Do you have a picture where you can compare the before/after?

I don’t have any close up before pics. It wasn’t in bad shape though. Cost was $1350 including the wheels.

I have heard for a while that this is the way to go but man it turned out good. If you are on the fence, don’t be. Results speak for themselves.

Stunning!

Just wait till you wash it!

Hard to beat 303 Graphene for ease of application and cost.

Ah ok, I’m not aware of his shop. I go to Gloss Boss 850 in FWB. I’ve known Mike (the owner) since 2015 and I don’t trust anyone else to touch my car when it comes to detailing.
Crestview use to have a huge C&C crowd but I haven’t seen any events posted by them since spring. Not sure what’s going on with them. Destin has a C&C every 3rd Saturday of the month at Hooters which attracts a lot of Lambos, Ferraris, and other high-end cars as well as everyone else. The Detail Garage in Pensacola has a C&C every third Saturday and their next one is Dec 17th. They usually have a pretty strong showing as well.
This Saturday there is a new event at the Props Ale House in Niceville from 11-2.

Crestview Gt500

Looks great, whod you use to get it done?

OK, I'm familiar with TSIO2 ceramic, what distinguishes graphene ceramic from the TSIO?

Interesting. I had to look up TSI02 to realize the "T" stood for Titanium. In regards to a coating the only one I was able to find was this from South Africa.

They also have a coating with Graphene. It is a certified installer product only.

Honestly I believe that most of the "names" are for marketing only reasons. I truly doubt that there is really much difference between them. Now there is a difference between ceramic detail sprays (regardless of what is in them) and consumer/professional applications. The main difference is longevity. There is certainly nothing wrong with the sprays as I use Gyeon Ceramic Detailer. But my base is Gyeon Duraflex (detailer applied) which was applied 3 1/2 years ago. I maintain it with Gyeon Bathe+ (SI02) and the detailer. It still beads water almost as good as the day I brought it home.

He answered that above

I didn't get a breakdown, but I believe mine was about $1,000.00. I paid $2300 for full front PPF, Ceramic (including the wheels) and window tint. I'm not sure how much you can see the difference in the pictures, but I could definitely tell the difference in person.

These were before. Next set was after.

At this point, it was worth the added expense, at least for me.

ive Seen his Work and it’s great for sure.
The crestview c&c is kinda on hold last I heard. Last even was at the Rec center and had some shenanigans at the end of it and there hasn’t been one since. I went to the event at Destin Hooters once but then my car went in the shop and haven’t had a chance to go since I got it back. The event at Detail Garage over in Pensacola is definitely a good one as well but I haven’t been since the spring. I didn’t know about the thing this weekend at Props in Niceville?

Are you attending any of them soon?

I’m interested in the one at Props but can’t commit till day off. My toddler has been sick lately so might be home this weekend. Otherwise probably Hooters since I haven’t been out there in a couple months.
