pivotdocCeramic coatings
Hey it's been a long time for me on this board - but needed to get input from folks who have had exposure to this? Anyone had a brand new vehicle coated? How long do these coatings last? Will they yellow/craze with time? I have an 11 year old truck that I want to have done, realizing that it's gonna need clay bar paint correction etc. but a new vehicle shouldn't require that? Any input appreciated....

Agree. I have tried 2 different ones. None have done anything special. Like most easy approaches to doing a job.

I used F-11 on the hull my 2006 center console. It looked new again. I recently took the time to do the deck and console, it was easy and worked as they said it would. Couldn't be happier with the product. The boat hasn't dulled and stays shiny. Water beads up like I did it yesterday and its been almost 2 years.
I have used it on my truck, the wife's cars, my buddies race car. The stuff is great in my opinion.
Just follow the directions and do one panel at a time.

TORQINJust did the toter and a couple of the race cars...THEY LOOK really good and I like the results.
Fella that did it claims 10 year protection...time will tell.
