Default Ceramic coating VS OPR and high speed bugs

Does ceramic coating help against OPR and bug splats? Seriously, like to keep my car clean and washed once or twice a year. (lives at the track).

No.
But it does make it easier to clean. Honestly not worth it on a car that’s tracked regularly. Also no ceramic coating I’ve used or had applied has stood up to OPR removing chemicals like R3 and such, that very quickly removes the coating.

The best and easiest way to add some ceramic layer for ease of cleaning and water beading/sheeting is to use Gyeon Wet Coat.

Just wash your car as normal, spray this stuff, rinse thoroughly and enjoy the water flying off the car with a blower. And when it’s starting to weaken you just spray it again, it’s awesome how easy and effective it is.
