For example, it is just fun watching water easily roll off our cars. What cases would I push for professional or personal application of coatings for non-painted surfaces?<\/p>\n<h2>Windshield<\/h2>\n<p>You may enjoy water beading like many of us, but safety and long terms savings are an added benefit.\u00a0 Improved vehicle safety is a direct and indirect benefit of a ceramic coated windshield.\u00a0 Less dirt build up improves visibility as dirt does not stick.\u00a0 There is also greater visibility when it is raining.\u00a0 You are saving money on the back end with changing the wiper blades less frequently.\u00a0 Also seeing the water fly off the windshield is fun.<\/p>\n<h2>Trim and Headlights<\/h2>\n<p>When the sun damage has already taken place automotive trim fading, we are dressing more than just protecting.\u00a0 It makes sense to start with preventative maintenance.\u00a0\u00a0 With respect to headlights, I have had successful and unsuccessful experiences restoring headlights, depending on the headlight and the condition.\u00a0 This is where preventative maintenance becomes advantageous and cost effective.<\/p>\n<p>I believe the decision to get Paint Protection Film (PPF) should always include a decision to invest in a real ceramic coating.\u00a0 This may be controversial to some, but I feel strongly about this.\u00a0 There is a common debate between PPF and ceramic coatings.\u00a0 If the budget allows, I cannot argue against PPF.\u00a0 But I often tell people for the same reason if you are going to invest so much money into PPF, it makes sense to also have a true ceramic coating on top.\u00a0 It is not what a lot of people want to hear, but there are challenges with bare PPF.\u00a0 Chemical etchings from the environment and bugs are more common than many people realize.\u00a0 I recently had a client who takes better care of his car than most people with damage to through his Paint Protection Film strictly from the environmental fallout.<\/p>\n<h2>Wheels<\/h2>\n<p>Coating wheels for easier wheel cleaning especially if you are a consistent wheels off cleaner, may not be necessary.\u00a0 But for many people who find it arduous, this is going to really help make your life easier.
