Looks awesome and great value for the price! It would have cost 3 times+ in America for the same service. Detailing in the UK is nowhere near as valued as in some other countries.Robbyrner wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 3:35 am I’ve recently had my car ceramic coated and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. I paid £990 I think (inc. VAT) for a 3 year coating and 2 stage paint correction beforehand. My paint was not great beforehand, even when I bought it just about a year ago.
Now it’s just a 15 minute blast off and it’s as good as new again. I used Aligned Detailing in Bosham (Hampshire) and it was completely great in every way. Have a look at my original post that has a few pics attached…

It definitely seemed good value at the time too, it was like picking up a new car after it had been done! I spend a lot of time in America, and it certainly seems a very different car culture in many respects, a lot more customisation for a start!

Maybe they don't have such voracious insurance companies who penalise even the smallest modification.

I found today that Brian at Apex Detailing did a series on his own F-Type. Worth watchingmickjaguar wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 6:58 pm Ta! Might look at that. I have a couple of things that are supposed to strip coatings but they aren't really that effective. Some cutting compound with a DA polisher does the job, but it'd have been easier without having a ceramic coating.
I didn't pay anything for it and it seems to be something quiet good/hard but like you said I'd rather just correct the paint properly and maintain it every couple of years.
I plan on beginning to correct the paint on mine in March.

Farecla clay mitt is my favourite, as it's easy to use and doesn't need special lube. Slippery as a fish before you start polishing.
