I recently had a paint restoration and two layer Ceramic Pro polymer applied to my 19,000 mile GT.
Looks better than when I got it 8 years ago.
Was a big hit at Cruising the Coast down on the Mississippi Gulf last weekend...

Joe,

Looks amazing! I am seriously considering doing this to my GT as well and am wondering about the cost and risks/benefits to having something that is so-called "permanently" bonded to the paint. The detailer I'm talking with uses Gtechnique Crystal Serum that apparently bonds so firmly to the paint surface that it has to be wet sanded off. I like the idea of the protection and gloss that they produce but I wonder what the best approach to long term paint maintenance is (i.e. what does it look like in 5, 7, 10 even 15 years?).

Anyone with experience, please educate me.

Thanks!
Seth

Is it durable enough to replace a clear bra?

Good stuff, and may be prevent some spider webs but not a sub for film. Can be used over film

How would this work if a car has the clear stoneguard wrap? would this be applied on the wrap or the wrap has to be removed so this is applied directly onto the paint?

I had c cpro applied to two cars recently of which one of them is a million dollar plus car.

All I can tell you is wow!!!!! Needs to be done correctly but its all that it is advertised. Nothing sticks to it which means just wipe downs if that. Protects against chips etc. Now it does depend on how many coats you get. I had 8 plus applied. Also suggest paint correct and then cpro. Its then permanently shiny if you will.

I love it. Just make sure you have it done by a real pro and you allow it to cure 7 days atleast. Any questions pm me.....

I looked online for any negatives other than the skill of the application, and I couldn't find any. I also restored the paint and placed Ceramic Pro on my 87 911, and it looks equally amazing and brand new with original paint.

My deleted comment had nothing to do with you; I know nothing of that product/process, and your cars look terrific!
