thats been a problem with ceramic pro, and why stopped using them. they blame everything on the consumer and utimately leave it up to the installer to handle. i get some consumers can mess up a finish, but not every time. For that reason alone I left them. i coat about 150 cars a year, the only one i have had zero comebacks and complaints on is Xpel Fusion, which is why i did my tiger in their marine product. also Xpels products are 100% American made, every other one comes from south korea.

Crazy question that if nothing else will be good for a chuckle. How would one of these ceramic coatings work on granite. Granite countertops that are in great shape other than original sealant worn.. Have tried 10 different granite sealers and have had better results with the orbital and boat wax/sealers - other than wax doesn’t last due to kitchen cleaners. If ceramic added that shine and can resist Dawn dish detergent I’d think it could be a winner. Proceed with comments and ridicule please. 😀

@Offshoredilling how much does your shop charge to ceramic coat a 28 foot boat?
