Does coating them help with keeping them clean? Ceramic coating might help them stay clean longer at the time ?
10000000% does Ceramic help- its crazy how much better the black stands out after quite a few drives. Its been also quite windy where I live and the dust is out when I drive but the car repels it well or just doesnt show it. Ive never been quite so happy with a black car!

Thank you sir.

So SupremePower's guy apparently first completely sands and smooths out the calipers (the rears looked like shit oem with huge orange peel) and then sources OEM logos (dealer) which he places on the calipers after they are painted. Then he shoots it with clear to protect the logo.
Congrats on the front page action Vic!
