System X Crystal Ceramic Coating

Has anyone had their RV coated with one of the products in the System X lineup? It is a product developed by Boeing that penetrated the paint and protects it for a number of years depending on the product you choose.

I am having my truck camper rubbed out so it looks like new again. They are trying to sell me on the additional System X product, specifically Crystal for an additional $800. It is expensive stuff but the RV's he showed me that they had it applied to were as as smooth and shiny as glass.

Dirt and water are claimed to almost slide off, I suspect that might make bud removal better...

The cost IS crazy, but might it be good long term?

Here is a link to the website: System X

  • I've been using it on my car for about 6 months and it does make the car paint very slippery.
    Helps a lot as in Vegas by the time you grab a towel to wipe the car after washing- the water already dried, leaving white spots. Now I can take garden blower and get away without towel-drying.
    Sure spray-on application beats any waxing.

    Me too.
  • I have yet to use any ceramic coating products, mainly because I haven’t clay barred or finished polishing the vehicles or toys that I want to use it on.
    From what I’ve seen and what I understand, it works well. It. An be used equally on automotive paints, acrylic and urethane enamel and on gel coat (fiberglass boats and your camper)
    If you just got it polished, this is the time to do it.
    It is also not a super technical application and if you are at all adept to paint finishes, you can do it yourself.
    Do some reading on it. Fwiw, it costs about $100 in materials to do the camper.
    It is supposed to offer UV protection as well as repel water (obviously)

    If I had the time and the need it would’ve something I’d do
  • I’m suspicious of all miracle coatings, polishes and waxes....except Mother’s with a liberal dose of elbow grease. Mother’s approves of adding this ingredient.
  • I am using similar product on my cars, but my truck camper is fiberglass coated and I've read ceramic coating does not apply.
    STUFF I BOUGHT is much cheaper and has good reviews.
