    Ceramic coating, window tinting, and wraps

    Correct - although at a REALLY low rate, Rivian partnered with XPEL but ultimately the shops are the ones getting the shaft because Rivian sells it for next to nothing. This is correct. We appreciate your understanding and support very much. It can eventually clog the coating and it will...

    Ceramic coating, window tinting, and wraps

    As a shop, it behooves me to recommend you see a professional to do paint correction prior to application. But you could probably pick up a bottle of Adams and it would look good. I am going to break a cardinal rule and post Tesla content here. This is a progression of professional wash videos...

    Ceramic coating, window tinting, and wraps

    Ceramic coating cures to a hardness to help reduce washing and drying marring, add chemical resistance, adds gloss, makes it easy to clean. Ceramic coatings do NOT add any significant scratch resistance.

    Ceramic coating, window tinting, and wraps

    You can definitely mix - don't be super connected to Adams. Its generally just a consumer grade product and not that "great" in comparison to others but it does the job. You could absolutely top it with 303. But of course, using Adams "spray coating" wouldn't be a bad idea - products are...

    Ceramic coating, window tinting, and wraps

    It will depend on your context. Some coatings use a different carrier solvent than others, making them shed other coatings vs bonding with them. Can you give some more context?

    Ceramic coating, window tinting, and wraps

    *due That's the solvent-delivered ceramic coating we are talking about. Yes. It can be reapplied. I don't understand how we are confusing this. The ceramic particles infused into the topcoat eventually wear off and don't come back. (meaning the particles IN THE PPF) The ceramic coating added on...

    Ceramic coating, window tinting, and wraps

    No one is arguing the fact that PPF is indeed the key protective element. Yes, the high contact angle is indeed the primary goal and creates a hydrophobic surface, but the ceramic that is impregnated into PPF (which is usually silicone assisted) doesn't replace the level of contact angle...

    Ceramic coating, window tinting, and wraps

    So PPF that is "ceramic coated" is technically only impregnated - you get a boost in gloss and some additional chemical resistance but it doesn't replace a traditional coating. We are a Ceramic Pro shop so we install their PPF & Vinyl Base & TopCoat, which are formulated to bond with PPF. PPF is...
