This may be a can of worms, but having just ordered a new car I've been advised to get the new paint ceramic coated to preserve the cleaning ritual.
The reason for this is that modern water based paint finishes are very 'soft' compared to the older more resilient solvent based finishes, and unless lots of TLC is used, the new finish will ultimately mark & swirl.
Given that this coating costs around £700 upwards, what does the team think..?
Worth it, or snake oil salesmanship..?
The few folk that have had it done are very strongly in favour, with no-one dissenting that I've spoke with.
Hmm..
