Ceramic shopping

NGT2 · 02-28-2022, 09:56 AM

I want to get my CPO 2018 540 paint corrected and ceramic coated. I really don't know how to interview the different vendors. Any advice on what to look for and what to ask?

Thanks

Where are you located. Perhaps I can steer you.

Go to a cars and coffee and ask around. Hard to interview if you don’t know what your talking about so go by local car enthusiast reputation.

Polishing the paint more important to final outcome than ceramic coating chosen.

If you have an IGL or carpeo certified installer locally they are usually vetted well.

I'm in the Memphis area (TN). I tried to see if there is a BMW club in town. It seems there may have been once but is no longer.

https://ceramicpro.com/ is the product I know of.
https://ceramicpro.com/tennessee-installers/ is their list of installers - which one is better / recommended you can hopefully get from a local chapter

Flawless reflections. I don’t know them but they are listed as an IGL installer. I IGL is a great product. I’ve had it installed several times on different cars. I go with Kenzo.

Good luck.
