Ceramic coating over Xpel ???
I know Xpel has their own fusion ceramic coating but you cant buy it and do it yourself. Does anyone know of a ceramic coating that is safe for use over the xpel film. I'm sure some guys may say just have the installer do it but one I like to do some stuff myself and two its really expensive after just paying for the film.
Also any recomendations for a quick spray wax to safely use over the xpel too. Thanks in advance! |
FWIW, Suntek Ultra has a top coating and does not need a ceramic coating.

I am curious if you couldn't use any sealant (Wolfgang, etc...)...Ceramic, professionally applied, is $$$$$ on top of $$$$$ for the PPF. |

Xpel will not repel water (hydrophobic), using a ceramic coat on top of it will make the car easier to clean.

Just a fast question
You had previously started a thread about this. So why another? https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...o-coat-it.html |

Yes you can. I use whatever I use on the paint. The newer PPF have clear coats and a good wax or sealant works great. Ceramic seams like a waste of good $$$ over PPF IMO.
Talked to the factory rep for Xpel a couple of years ago, and he recommended any good ceramic coat or finish. |
OptiCoat Plus over my XPEL...

I agree...I could be wrong but it seems like to me that ceramic coating over EXPEL might have an effect over the self healing properties that EXPEL has. I am curious if it would or not...any experts out there that could shed some light on this???

I have mine ceramic coated over film and it works great. Very easy to clean. Also installing ceramic is fairly easy. Watch some youtube videos. I have ceramic pro installed by a shop on mine but I have used R1 ceramic on about 12 cars now and everyone loves it. Usually takes me a day to prep and coat a midsize car with R1.
