I thought I was prepared for everything when I negotiated the sale of our boat, all the extras we would need, etc - but this was never on my radar. from personal experience I would NOT recommend it. And there's you Billion dollar idea, you're welcome.įor anyone reading this thread someday about "Vantage Protection Systems", or other types of ceramic coatings offered on your new boat from your dealer. You hit a dock/boat/pylon/whatever, it's gonna leave a mark, nothings gonna stop that, unless someone invents clear, paper-thin "diamond" coating for boats. Does this wizzardly magic work? Who the heck knows. That said, the sun is different in my neck of the woods compared to, lets say Arizona or Florida, but as long as you take care of your shit, it's gonna take care of you. No magical coatings, pixie dust or keebler elves waving magic wands, just soap, water and wax, for years. All I did was wash it just about every time I pulled out of the water with (insert boat soap name here) and waxed it twice a year, that's it. It was stored in "cold" storage during Wisconsin Winters and kept on the side of my house all summer long and trailered. This was my last boat, a 2006 Sea Ray 185 Sport. Look, I'm not going to tell anyone what to spend money on, it's your boat, your money and everyone treats their equipment differently. I have only polished the hood and roof areas once to remove some hard water spots. Our oldest vehicle is over 8 years old, and it has near perfect paint all over (minus the unavoidable rock chips to the front air dam/ bumper area).
Also, the clean/prepared surface with any coating or wax/sealant is much easier to keep clean.Īs to you scratching/swirling the paint's surface while washing your truck, it should not happen there must be some flaw in the process or chemicals/equipment.
The purchaser sees their vehicle with near perfect paint (nearly flat surface with virtually no issues = very reflective) for the first time (better than new from the dealership), and they are very impressed. The preparation would involve removing all embedded contaminants (like claying the paint), correcting the paint and polishing the paint. Many people are initially very happy with their coating, because the applier prepared the vehicle's paint prior to the application. You did not mention how long you have had the coating and whether you have to have it refreshed (many coating sellers require a once or twice a year refresh at an additional charge to maintain a warranty - the warranty means you get another application, not a refund).įor many people using these coatings, they find out that its life span can be as low as one year depending on conditions (hence the common requirement for the refreshes), and these coatings are easily marred by hard water spots (a common problem). I am glad your coating has worked for you.
