Ceramic Coating
Short of asking the seller for proof that ceramic coating was applied, does anyone know of a guaranteed way of determining if a used Vette has been ceramic coated?

Well, there is really no clear cut way. A”glassy “look may indicate, but is not a surefire way as well as water behavior. However, fresher non ceramic products can exhibit the same behavior as well. A couple APC washes which would break down a sealant or wax ( much easier and faster than a coating) may indicate it’s presence ).
If this is a resale- it won’t really add to the value of the car. I would still see for a bit if it shows the characteristics of a coating, and if so wait a little and then strip and start fresh. As long as you are capable, it’s more time than expense and then you really know exactly what you have

Sure after a certain price point as in Southbeach or high end places but were talking used Chevys here.
