Ceramic Pro and First hand wash

Finally got around to washing my car today. First time with hand wash. This car is big. LOL. The Ceramic Pro coating is great, the bugs just wash right off, no scrubbing needed. Same for the wheels. Happy the car came with that coating.

The exhaust stays nice and clean also, not sure if that is the Ceramic Pro on the pipes or this car does not do the detonation that the M2 did?

Mike, your car came with the coating on? Applied by the dealer?

Yes, when they had the car in the show room the manager was not happy with all the hand prints, so he had his detailer guy do the Ceramic Pro (top package) on the car and forgot to mention it on the advertisement nor tell me about it when we negotiated a price by email. So when I arrived they told me all about it and told me it was no charge! I was very happy with this! They did the application on all the surfaces outside as well as the wheels and the windows. They also did the leather treatment inside as well as all the surfaces inside. It's a $2200 package. The detail guy does fantastic work.

I am actually going to have them do our Sienna when we get it! LOL.

I'll have to pay for that I am sure.

Mike

Nice you got it for free. Doing it yourself woulda taken a day or more. But on the bright side prob woulda cost you 179 bucks. Did they verify they coated the exhaust tips? Coating the wheels is a tedious process.

You can get it all done reliably by yourself for $125. It is bright, shiny and looks better thank factory from many angles...
