Should You Ceramic Coat Your Car?? (or Tesla)

Not sponsored! If you haven't seen my wrap and tint videos, I took my New Tesla Model X to Xtreme Edge Auto Detail in Garden Grove for a PPF, Tint, and ceramic coating. Allen uses Artdeshine for his ceramic coating needs and was nice enough to ask the general manager to come in for an interview. So, I had to whip out my camera and ask him all the questions I had on what ceramic coating is. Is it worth it? Do you need to apply ceramic coating on TOP of a PPF? What's the difference between ceramic coating and the new graphene coating??
He was also nice enough to hook you guys up with a discount!

Excellent!! Very informative and appreciated.

[@ty5967]

These guys can sell you anything for the car. They handle questions and objectives very well.

[@EverydayChris]

Tried to make it hard since I genuinely wanted to know why i should pay a lot of money for a coating

[@johnreese3762]

Very well done, thanks for the informative video Chris!!

[@timchan334]

Ok I get it, have paint to protect the car, then have film to protect the paint, have ceremic coating to protect the film, then have another coating to protect the coating!

[@inthespread001]

You forgot to put the cover over when parked to protect the outer coating from uv light and or snow

[@Tacticalwon]

@@inthespread001 And make sure you park in a garage to protect the cover!

Don’t forget to cover the garage to protect the cover while protecting the ceramic coating and ppf cover

Tyy

[@garyyencich4511]

I had PPF and a ceramic coating done on my new Model 3 about 6 months ago. The big surprise is that my car hardly ever gets dirty anymore! Formerly I would use a carnauba wax or similar type finishes. Due to static charge they would end up attracting dirt. The ceramic coat repels. This is a huge benefit. Even if it does get a little dirt it is very easy to wipe clean. No more visits to the car wash. Admittedly I live in a mild climate. I’m guessing with snow or lots of rain you probably would have to give a real wash now and then.

[@EverydayChris]

What you guys think?? Ceramic Coating worth it or nah?

[@nathpuneet]

Is your ppf not stek brand ?

[@EverydayChris]

It is stek check out my wrap video

[@nathpuneet]

@@EverydayChris then y extra ceramic coating?

[@rioannen]

I don't see the link for the product?

[@seasonalocean]

Sup Chris. Great info on the video bro.

[@EverydayChris]

Ocean thank you!

[@turkey1337]

Very nice video Chris! After I got my Model X wrapped with Llumar’s Valor, I decided to go the route of 303, Turtle Wax’s Hybrid Solutions and Chemical Guys’ sprays and sealants. I’d figure I’m already washing the car every month already so I can always apply protection during the wash process. I will say, Turtle Wax has come a long way with Hybrid Solutions and Hybrid Solutions Pro especially their graphene flex spray!

[@EverydayChris]

True! Works well! I like ceramic because it’s a physical layer so helps prevent those micro Scratches

[@puhoyzzee4364]

Blue Tesla Owner: damn why u putting me on blast like that

[@turkey1337]

Hey Chris! You should do a review of 303 Touchless Sealant! 😉

[@DMG1777]

Yo Chris. Great videos man. Love your work. Question for you. I want to buy a good used Model X. I don't have money for a new one. If I buy a 2016 can I upgrade things in it to make it more "up-to-date". Ex. Can I upgrade the camera system to make the car more updated? Is it even worth it? If you have a video on this topic can you please tag me in it? Thank you.

[@EverydayChris]

camera system FOR SURE. Just check battery health to see how it is. The seals may need be replaced too esp near the falcon doors so check that!

[@johny.5381]

Interesting video. This is probably for those that really must have a immaculate car. For me, I’m cheap and more practicals. MY $48k after tax credit. $5k - $7k for full car PPF and ceramic. Think I’ll save the $ for the next car in 10 years. Doubt ill get the return when I go to sell it, it’ll still be a 10 year old car. For hydrophobic effect, I just get Turtle Wax Hybrid ceramic spray for $15 and call it good. Will also have to buy some $20 touch up paint for those rock chips. I think this is why the cyber truck with the stainless is so appealing to me.

[@EverydayChris]

true

[@andr0373]

Agreed - it all comes down to the lifecycle of the car and use. For most people, it's a lot of money for a car that comes protected with paint and clearcoat.

[@johnrlaw1]

Hey, thought someone had stolen you color on the model x. , was at xtreame today getting my car done. And saw a car l that looked like yours. It was yours. Looks great. John

[@EverydayChris]

Haha that was me!!! Had to get some touch ups done! I was at Starbucks lol

[@karenbaldwin365]

I’m in Concord area in California. Can you recommend someone to do this service?

[@enriquepalacios982]

Gotta love how pricing talk was avoided 😂 ceramic coating is expensive and PPF is 4X the cost of ceramic coating. Can’t even get a quote from these guys either

[@EverydayChris]

4x's the cost I guess haha. MY PPF for the Y was 5k back then but I think its 6k now

[@matthewp1682]

I have a great ceramic coater near me, she charged me $4k inside and out 9 year coating

[@shangchuang8027]

How much to repaint the cars, is it cheaper?

[@warrior15r]

@Everyday Chris, not sure if I missed it but what did you do for your black trim protection? I’ve been looking for a couple of days and haven’t seen a full on video from anyone on how they protect the black trim. Ceramic coat it too? Worried it’ll change the look too much. I want to protect the factory finish.

[@EverydayChris]

You can use graphene seal or 303 aerospace for all seals

[@warrior15r]

@@EverydayChris do you have a link to graphene seal you’re talking about?

[@amberayame415]

Hi, not sure if mentioned in a different video, but my model 3 2021 seat belt extenders don’t fit in my 2023 model y. I ordered 2 different seat belt extenders off Amazon that stated they would fit my yr and make but neither did. Have you found or do you know where to get seat belt extenders for the 23 model y? For kids in boosters or car seats, it’s a must bc they’re hands can’t reach down under to grab the teslas seatbelt. 😮

[@EverydayChris]

Hi there!! Hmm not sure about seat belt extenders! Will keep an eye out!

Can you put ceramic coating on just the car itself or does it have to go on top of PPF?

On the car itself for sure!

Is PPF the scientific term for wrap? Lol

Haaha wrap is like vinyl. Ppf is a type of wrap

[@3023cbo]

@@EverydayChris oh ok! Thanks for the reply.

[@jeffpicken5057]

@@EverydayChris but much tougher. A vinyl wrap is more for color change and is like a thin stretchy plastic film. PPF is thicker, doesn’t really stretch much and is very difficult to poke through. Some PPF is also colored, like Chris’s, but generally it’s clear.
