I’m picking up a new car later this week and looking for input from the car guys on this forum regarding having the car ceramic coated. I’ve seen professionally applied ceramic and it looks great. One concern I have, however, is that I usually take my SUV’s thru a local car wash 2-3X per week and I’ve heard that non-touchless car washes are to be avoided on ceramic finishes. For the record, I hand wash my cars but not my SUV and I don’t want to add another vehicle to my weekly wash ritual.
I’d also like to hear thoughts on using ppf wrap on the front end and/or the entire body.
The car is a Toyota Grand Highlander hybrid and is a medium blue finish called Stormcloud.
TYIA for your input!
