Ceramic Pro

Btw, when mine was applied, it had a lifetime warranty. And only certain detail shops were approved by Optimum to sell and apply the product.

I have a similar product on my Dodge Durango. It's called Optimum Opti-coat Pro. I didn't dig into your product much, but it looks like it's pretty much the exact same thing, just different company.

I've had it for 2 years on my car, it works as designed yet. It's basically another clear coat, but it's harder and thicker than actual clear coat. It also must be properly cleaned every so often. Contaminates still collect on the surface. It is easier to get the contaminates off. It is not scratch proof. Poor washing technique will still result in spider scratches. It does not make the paint any shinier. Rocks and stones will easily chip it away like they do with regular paint. Waxing is not required ever with these coatings. In fact wax does not stick well at all. The wax will last less than half of what wax would normally last on clear coat.

They are good products to protect the paint, but not a cure all. If you want rock protection for the front cap, look into a clear film to put on the cap.

It cost me ~$1000 for my entire Durango, windows, wheels, plastic, etc. The product itself is actually inexpensive. The bulk of the cost comes from labor to correct the paint before applied. And paint defects that aren't corrected will be permanently under the coating. All vehicles, including brand spanking new ones, have paint defects. My car was brand new when opti coat was applied.

I researched these products greatly. They really aren't meant for the guy that likes to wash and wax his vehicles. This is meant for the guys that don't like doing that stuff, but still like having nice looking cars.

My main concern would be the lifespan. What's it going to look like after 5 years of exposure to the sun and rain?

Law specialties...I have been talking with ATD for a few months now. Thinking of doing my full camper. I have 32 foot box on my TT. He would do full gelcoat restoration then apply Ceramic Pro for about $1800. His work on old faded boats is amazing. Still considering it.

In Thailand it is quite popular on high end cars. Shops located everywhere. Looks reputable.

Or they base the pricing on the size of the vehicle. As I said, this guy is a friend and fellow co-worker. Whatever the pricing will be, my first decision is whether or not its a good idea for the front of my camper.

If it worked as stated it would be a great product. Of course I always take a deep breath when they say "Call for pricing". :)

X2, when I see 'call for pricing' I immediately lose interest. To me, it sounds like they have to talk to you to justify the (high) price for the merchandise.

Sounds great, maybe too good to be true? I've never heard of it, but you probably need to talk to some people that have had the product for a couple years. I know there was a product back in the 80's that looked great when first applied but flaked off after about 2 years, and looked awful. And no longer in business.
