Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      For what its worth Iv had a ceramic coating done on my previous car - Ruby Red Tiguan.
      However this time round I will be going with a different type of coating for my current 2017 Tumeric Golf Highline.

      Car is booked in later this month, I will try to post some pics.
      Please note I’m Not an expert on these matters.
      A few things to take into consideration.
      Make sure you confirm pricing that includes some degree of paint correction.

      Mobile detailers would need a dust free closed working space to minimise (avoid) dust on newly coated surface.
      If you wanted to see results for comparison purposes I would recommend looking at results after 3-6 months as any (DIY) coating will look nice immediately after being coated.
      Also white is not a colour you would want to use as an example. Black or a dark solid colour is best for seeing results. (swirls and any defects will be easier to notice)
      Otherwise just go with any type you like if its within your budget. A Coating is better than none.
      The most important part is taking care of the coating. You must follow the instructions for washing/cleaning the car to avoid/minimise scratching the coating when washing the car. This I found out the hard way was not a matter to take lightly.
      All YouTube reviews tests etc are similar in the way they perform comparisons, they will coat a panel with different brands of coatings then they will wash the panel using soap and even use cleaning chemicals 10 times over and over again. (Sure that looks nice)
      However, in real life we NEVER wash a clean car. Throw some dirt, bird poo or anything else and let it dry or stick for a few hours on the panel. Then you will have to clean the panel properly with a sponge as high pressure on its own wont do it. And that’s how you start creating micro scratches on your coated car. So maintenance and washing the car correctly (delicately) after coating is the key.
      If you are careful when washing the car then you will always sit back and admire your beauty.

        That statement is so true.
        Some protection is better than none. The better quality ones should last longer but it all depends on the preparation and maintence.
        Also remember coating is not a magic cure, it is only an aid in protecting your paint.
