8 series was introduced almost 12 months ago at Le Mans and BMW took this long for the '1st edition' to appear? A marketing campaign ploy to boost sales numbers; how long do these units sit on dealership showroom floors? Not impressed with Frozen Barcelona Blue nor the white interior, will be a b*tch to keep the exterior and interior clean. No thanks.

Did you ceramic the exterior? The interior will last depending on the use. A daily driver seat, 3 months. And passenger seat with the occasional person in the seat, 6 months. Dashboard, 9 months. I'm having the whole works: Exterior Stealth PPF Ceramic paint, wheels and glass Ceramic interior Tints K40 And I had my guy take off the stupid little "spoiler" that's on the trunk. |

I ceramic coated my 8 exterior and its proving to be great. My X6 exterior was still strong after 4 years. I did the 8 myself, the X6 was a pro. The difference was the polish stage and I found that I left some ceramic reside that took a little work to remove in a very few places.

The Frozen Barcelona color requires a special perspective to appreciate (perhaps I am lacking this perspective). Still - it's very unique.

Is that glue residue from the rear spoiler still on the trunk?
Won't ceramic coating give the frozen matte color a shine? Personally, I can't comprehend paint protection film and ceramic coating, just drive the vehicle. But with leasing, you have a new coat of paint every 3 years. PS multi BMW M engineers have told me to avoid frozen colors, it looks great in the show room, but is a challenge to maintain. I'm sure that the paint film and coating will affect the matte finish.

No, ceramic itself does not make a car shinier. Gloss paint already has a clear coat shine to it and the ceramic coating enhances that. He uses ceramic from GTech. The ceramic is just a coating that protects the paint. And PPF on a car is just a barrier on the paint and everything else. You still have to take car of a car that has PPF on it the same as you would a car that doesn't. With ceramic on the PPF, it's less to no maintenance. I have been well educated in the process and protect my investments. |
