Default Ceramic Coating?

My brother paid a fortune to have a ceramic coating applied to his C6. It appears to be better than wax. Any opinions? Is it better than periodic waxing? Can it be applied by an owner or is there some special technique?

Default Re: Ceramic Coating?

I just had my zr-1 done and it wasn?t crazy expensive. There is a huge differential in price and I?m sure products.

I think for majority of our cars that are used fair weather etc wax is probably sufficient. Ceramic coating dries as a extra hard layer and is great for protection from daily use and more ?careless? maintenance of a car (fast washes etc). My daily (f250) has ceramic on it that?s lasted about 2yr of daily driving outside parked use. It makes it easier to keep it clean. I applied it myself and it was a hell of a process. Took me a full weekend to do it, and the only reason I was comfortable doing it was the car was new and didn?t need paint correction work prior to application.

In short, I like ceramic for the maintenance aspect of it, but I?d think wax will be just as good for a car used like the typical zr-1/pleasure vehicle.
