Default Ceramic coated my car for the first time

I spent two days polishing the car and getting out minor scratches and then ceramic coating the car. All in all I’m very please with the results still have to buff out some high spots, it can be a little tricky your first time, but the results turned out very good

Great job. You will love the easy maintenance. I no longer have a vette but I had this done on my 16 Charger.

That’s pretty damn impressive. I would be afraid to drive it. I’m too lazy to keep my black Z that clean.

OP your car looks great....................... well worth the time and effort to get it ready for the coating application.......

the great part of the coatings is not only does it make the car look spectacular by the prep work involved, it makes cleaning and maintain a lot easier as the dirt, dust, and debris roll off due to the coating.....

Curious, do you have clear mask on the car? I assume you would not put it on the clear mask?

The main thing i did was paint with the alternator bracket, alternator, TB, water pump and brackets with VHT cast aluminum paint. Believe it or not once you get it that clean is pretty easy to maintain I don’t spend more than a couple minutes each time I wash it
