It is easier to wash with ceramic coatings but you still have to wash it, so shrugs. That's not a reason why I chose to do ceramic myself. But more importantly, I did the ceramic after a full front PPF. Then the ceramic brings some advantages like the sio2 hard coat that is resistant to a lot of things that fall onto the car but you still have to wash it soon something like bird droppings. Also there are some annoying things about ceramic like for ex. on a flat surface after say a rain, there's no gravity or wind to pull the water off so it just sits there and evaporates leaving water marks and you could have a ton of these since the droplets ball up instead of breaking down into like a sheet of water. That said I love the ceramic coating, albeit on top of PPF. I mention the PPF because I think that is more important than ceramic. I'd rather not have the front end look like its been sandblasted after a couple years.
Scratching from a finger touch? Can you please elaborate? Your comment re: Subaru paint resonates with me. I had a 2002 WRX and the paint on that thing was awful (loved the car, though).
That's for full body PPF and Ceramic? If so that's a great price. I paid $4500 for front end PPF (bumper, fenders, A pillar, mirrors) and ceramic on everything (including calipers and wheels)
No, I'm just doing the front end PPF (full hood, full fenders, headlights, mirrors front bumper) + ceramic on what I assumed was the entire car. I'll have to confirm whether the cost of the ceramic was for the entire vehicle. Given the pre-discount cost I assumed it was.
That's still almost half of what I paid for the same. (I also got the headlights and fog lights PPF'd)
Closing one of the rear doors with your finger on the paint will leave clear coat scratches from your finger. To be fair it happens on a lot of new vehicles these days but my wife just got a new Genesis GV70 and the paint is not nearly as soft.
