I thought that a $1000 coating was just a way to get money off of wealthy people. I usually keep my vehicles for about 10 yrs so i figured why bother. My older son who is into show cars said believe him and just do it. I got a new Dodge diesel and had it done. It looked nice and washed easily, so ok. Well i was driving through Chicago and an idiot in a blue BMW thought he could pass using an on ramp. The concrete wall came up and he slammed on the brakes and side swiped my rear quarter panel. He dove for the exit so i never got a plate. I got into Indiana and stopped for a rest stop and examined the blue paint on my truck. I figured i would have to have some work done. (not happy)
Got to Fl. and took some cleaner and all the blue came off. A thin line along the edge of the plastic wheel well extender had the paint scratched off. Plastic is black and the truck is dark red so hard to see.
I am now a believer. The shop that did the work usually works on exotics. He said to come back every 2-3 yrs to have a detail done and it will last for 10 yrs. I also like to visit to see what he is working on, like McLarens and other unobtainium cars.
