All New Ceramic Coating from XPEL
XPEL FUSION PLUS Ceramic Coating is a nano ceramic clear liquid coating that can be applied to paint, glass, vinyl and paint protection films, which provides a fortified layer of vehicle protection. Bonding at a molecular level, the ceramic coating seals and protects vehicle surfaces from environmental contaminants, including pollutants, tree sap and insect acids. XPEL FUSION PLUS shields against harmful UV rays and corrosion. In fact, it helps to reduce the amount of oxidation, which can result in dull, fading paint.
Using a hydrophobic formula, XPEL FUSION PLUS boasts self-cleaning properties to repel water, dirt and grime. It is scratch-resistant and helps protect against swirl marks and minor wash scratches to maintain a sleek, high-gloss finish.
Product Features:
● Protection from UV rays and oxidation
● Hydrophobic Properties
● 4 Year Warranty
● Fine scratch and swirl resistance
● Stain resistant
● Self-cleaning
FUSION PLUS ceramic coating is available now through the XPEL installer network. FUSION PLUS carries a comprehensive warranty package for four (4) years from the date of application, upon registration and when maintained in accordance with warranty terms and conditions.
XPEL FUSION PLUS ceramic coating does not protect against rock chips. This product is intended to be professionally applied and is compatible with vehicle paint or XPEL paint protection film, as well as vinyl wraps and graphics.

Oh my, it's a plot to get me into more trouble with my dearest. I just told her last week I was taking the GS to our local Xpel installer for the Xpel ultimate PPF. Now, I've got to tell her I gonna buy something else while I'm there. Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Will have to look into the Fusion product next time I visit my Xpel installer - which should be in the next month or so.

I was contemplating getting the Xpel Clear Bra put on my car in the next week or two. After seeing this video, I am thinking having the whole car done with the Xpel Fusion Plus Ceramic Coating instead. What kind of cost are we looking at to do a new 2019 Stingray. Prep should not be a big issue. The car has less than 400 miles on it. I know I could do both but I am also getting a Borla Axle Back exhaust system installed on the car next week. My budget is not unlimited.

I might be down to Lake McQueeny in a couple of weeks, will this help cover up some scratches I have on my wrap that the car came with? I don't know how old the wrap is, but seems to scratch easily.Thanks, L8R ZFLASH

I had my car wrapped XPEL and added ceramic coating right after taking possession from the dealership. When I took it to my local detailer in town for the first time he was furious that I didn't use him for the xpel and that I went with ceramic coating. As fate would have it I had my Vette out today and stopped by to see him. Low and behold he became certified to apply ceramic coating over the winter but is still completely opposed. He believes several coatings of high quality vintage wax at first and then one good waxing annually is a better more cost effective solution. He cited concerns if the car is in an accident and what happens when the coating is no longer effective. He said that the car has to be completely sanded down and then coated again, a very expensive proposition. He showed me some test cars that have been left outside and compared to wax, the waxed side of the car seemed to hold up better. I know there are arguments on both sides of the fence but his primary point that ceramic coating changes the chemistry of the paint kind of hit home. My decision may work out because my car is not a daily driver, is garage kept and only gets hand washed and finished with a ceramic pro spray. I love the look but it was pricey. Hope this helps someone thinking about it

That's because he is out of work now, with wax you have to come back and see him to "reapply" 2 to 3 times a year... I DD mine and would recommend everyone get ceramic coating , makes life so much easier... If there was an accident and a panel needed replaced you could do paint correction and coating on just that panel...

When you say wrap, do you mean an existing clear bra or a vinyl graphic type of wrap?

A full Stingray could vary but probably around $1500-$2200 or so depending on how much paint correction is there. We do want to specify that ceramic coatings do NOT protect against rock chips and heavier scratches like the clear bra film will. Our recommendation is to get the ULTIMATE PLUS PPF installed on the full front end and rocker panel areas and then have ceramic coating applied on top of the film and to the rest of the car. This will give you the best of both worlds with the right amount of protection where you need it most.

I think that's an excellent compromise. Do the PPF first and then when the aftermarket budget is a little flush again, go with the ceramic coating. Ceramic coatings can be applied ANYTIME whereas a clear bra you want to apply with as few chips and scratches as possible.

Yes, it should work on other brands of PPF as well.

hahaha...I figured you may know him. Yea he rocks.
I'm getting the whole car redone. It spent just over two years living outside. Film looks "dirty/contaminated" from that and not being able to keep her clean often. Now, it's in a garage when I'm home and I park in a parking garage at work as well. Much better current conditions. So, fresh film soon. AND, some of my panels are covered from an insurance claim from my car being gently hit.

I think a ceramic coating would work wonders for you to help maintain the new PPF and make everything slick and hydrophobic. Sorry to hear about the gentle hit, but at least insurance company is paying to take care of it.
