Which ceramic coating would you go for?

....,,,,..,,.. · 07-17-2017, 03:30 PM

As I countdown to Golf R Day, I am busy sorting the usual stuff for a new car, one item is that all essential detailing.

My 330d I looked after myself, various concoctions and waxes or sealants.

For my Golf R Hearse I am getting it done properly.

However, what coating to go for?

Options at the moment are:

1. GYEON QUARTZ MOHS+

2. GTechniq Crystal Serum Light + Exo V3

I've used G Techniq on my 640 but on my new car I am going to be using Sonax Profiline.

Excellent reviews online and easy to apply at home.

If I was paying £500+ to a detailed I would use the most expensive G Techniq

planemad · 07-17-2017, 04:28 PM

I use Siramik

ronime · 07-17-2017, 04:50 PM

Nanolex Si3D HD if leaving it to the professionals.

Nanolex Si3D if DIY.

I am looking at getting a Detail and Ceramic Pro 9H put on my car. Spoke to the Detailer last night and had it demoed and it looked really good. Unfortunately I don't have the time to detail, wash, wax my cars anymore.

As it's a VW

Surely this question is best asked on Detailing World.

I would imagine the majority of people on here who have actually had their cars ceramic coated have only ever used one product or the other, thus a comparative viewpoint will be hard to come across.

True, but we do have a few closet detailers.

I have tried a few different types of the years.

Probably the main bit for MOHS+ is that it is easy to apply when compared to Gtechniq.

But if you are paying someone else to apply it you want your money's worth out of the labour charge.

Lol funny you should say that, it's pretty much what I said to detailed lol.

On my previous Audi and current Bimmers, I have EXO V3 and they perform well. Both my Bimmers get hand washes bi-monthly and the hydrophobic effect still beads like crazy. If I had to do it again, I would pony up and have the latest generation of clear wrap installed. An acquaintance who owns a detail company demo'd it on his GTR. To say it's impressive, would be a mild understatement. But then again, spending $2-3K in clear wrap protection isn't cheap.

Yeah if I bought a car in GTR price range I would be looking at Xpel Ultimate.
