I'm amazed at the whole process and the end result and it's definately worth it on a vehicle/boat/rv etc. The big boat (20yrs old) that we wet sanded, compounded ,polished and coated came out like a new boat. I'm looking to order the polisher,pads and compounds etc and start doing seadoos/boats/sleds for a buddy of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you do an IPA wipe down of the whole vehicle to remove any oils, etc, or only before you apply the ceramic coating? Also curious if you guys wash, dry, clay bar the vehicles before you start with the compounds and polish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends on the paint whether you start with a cutting compound or just a polishing compound. There's diff pads for each type of compound/polishes. The compounds eliminate using a clay bar. Also depending on the paint it might need wet sanding. Your truck would probably need a mild compound then a polish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what they charge but I know it's not cheap. They have to cover what they pay me, the cleaners,polishes and the coating and make money for the shop. In the spring the ones I'm going to do for myself will be around $350 -$400 depending on the vehicle and boats will be $50/ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
