A quick note for anyone who, when buying a car, was offered paint correction and ceramic coating.
I don’t want to say every seller is trying to mislead you, but honestly I’ve had a lot of clients telling me they were sold a “ceramic coating” with a lifetime guarantee. Many cars supposedly had paint protection applied, but in reality the paint was left in a terrible state — full of holograms and swirl marks.
And let’s be real, it costs you quite a lot of money, and very often people end up being misled.
For example, one of my clients bought a car last week that had “paint correction and ceramic coating” done. The first thing I noticed were holograms visible from a distance. Another thing that caught my attention was polishing compound still left on the paint (which clearly shows the car was not properly prepared before any coating — no proper degreasing, nothing).
During washing I used only pH-neutral products and a shampoo with no wax or additives, just to test whether the coating was actually there. As it turned out — there was definitely no ceramic coating on the car.
For comparison, at the end of the video I’m showing a moment where I’m washing a car I previously applied Soft99 wax to a few months ago. You can clearly see how the water behaves on a black car that supposedly has “ceramic protection”, compared to a car where I actually applied wax myself.
