Ceramishield Ceramic Sealant

Had GTechniq C1 put on my old S4, amazing stuff. Do a youtube search for GTechniq. If you follow their guidelines it will last a long time too.
 
Not sure how convinced I am tbh.

I've been looking at 3M Ventureshield, which is a thin, clear urethane film that is supposed to protect bodywork against chips and minor scuffs. I like 3M products, but I am still a wee bit unsure how well it will work.

That said, I think I would still chose this everytime over your sealant. Be interested to hear how you get on.

Every one of my cars goes to my friend to have the clear film put on. 3M is thicker than some and doesn't possess the self healing characteristics that the XPel ultimate has. Also, the 3M cannot cover the whole bonnet on most cars, their rolls of film aren't wide enough, another reason I prefer the Xpel.

Generally I have xpel ultimate on the bonnet, front bumper, mirrors and front wings. If you need a tougher film then 3M is a fine choice but it possesses a lot more orange peel, cannot cover large panels and cannot self heal scratches in the sunlight.
 
well I had it done now, It looks nice and clean now but you can't tell anything is there.

I will post back in a few weeks and see how I get on with it.
 
well I had it done, Im very pleased with the result.

LOL sorry

well it seems to have come up very well, water just beads off the car and I think that dirt does not stick to the car as much. I have done 1000 miles in the last week going up and down from london to sheffield and the car still looks quite clean.

Overall I am very happy with the result, the question is how long will it last? if I have a freshly waxed look on my car for 2 years or even a year I would consider it a good buy. The stuff only costs 40 quid a bottle so its not huge money.


This is a before

I don't really know what more to say except that I am happy so far.

I guess it should make cleaning a breeze and prevent any swirls (not that it is a problem on silver cars).

I think thats is the idea, the only thing you have to remember if that if your car is full of swirls you really need to get them out before applying the ceramishield as it will lock them in under the sealant
