That looks like a glass coating. Which brand did you use ?

More Question ... How many hours is this process ?... I hear that ...
I've heard / read .. this is not a 2 hour dance ...
I've seen $80.00 up to $1,500.00 for my '07 Escalade
Some say a 13/14 year old car .. this is not worth the $$$$
But with 118,000 org miles ... I say it is
Can a novice do this ?
Is it a true labor of love?
What is the Cost $$$

When I bought my '04 Expedition (new) I let the salesman talk me into some sort of special coating.
I have no idea what it was, but with an application of a car wash "Platinum Wash" every few months the vehicle is shinier now than when it was new and I've never put a coat of wax on it.
Water rolls off in beads.
How long have ceramic coatings been around?

John ... Do you go Glass or Ceramic?
Please correct me if I am wrong ..
Is Ceramic a one time / life time application?
I heard glass has to be reapplied?

You can see/read/hear about the results on Motor Authority website. Search "ceramic coatings". It was the first item.
