Gloating: Ceramic Pro coatings are OMG amazing
After only having my slightly used 15’ R for a month I took the plunge and had the car tinted, full paint correction, clear PPF protection and ceramic coated.
I don’t know whether to drive it or park it in my living room and stare at it’s beauty. After shopping around for which shop/product to go with I decided RT Tuning in Montgomeryville,PA would get the honor. Justin, a certified Ceramic Pro installer did an amazing job that took two weeks to complete all the tasks.

Hello Navy.. I don’t mind sharing as long as it doesn’t become a debate as the costs and whether I got a good or bad deal.

This is a long standing debate. XPel will adhere to the quartz, just not as well, so the film has to be very carefully installed. The theory is that, applied first, the quartz will protect the paint surface from possible chemical reaction with the film adhesive. Also, applying the quartz coating last will interfere with the self healing characteristics of the film. That's the way mine was applied. Four years and 30,000+ miles now and no issue with the clear wrap flying off. I have no clue which way is truly best, but my installer, who is a former XPel engineer, swears by applying the quartz coating first.

You would think applying the quartz first makes more sense, as it would protect the paint best with film as added protection. I had the coating applied over xpel ultimate when I first did this. The film was never applied smoothly and edges also started curly. After two years the film appeared yellow. It was not as clear as the Suntek it redone with.t. I think they installed the ceramic over the top. So far so good. The only issue I have is dirt collecting at edges in certain locations; stands out against the white.
