What is the recommended waiting period after applying new paint before proceeding with details or ceramic coating?


Recommended Posts

Although I am not an authority on the subject, I have experience the need for repainting shortly after applying a ceramic coating. They implemented a delay of around one week, or maybe 10 days, prior to reapplying the ceramic coating.

In my opinion, a period of around 3-4 weeks should enough. However, for confirmation, I would recommend consulting the bodyshop, the website or manufacturer of the detailed product, and the detailer (if you are opting for professional services).

It is necessary to refrain from applying wax or ceramic coating to paint for a minimum duration of 30 days. The paint requires a minimum amount of time for the process of outgassing to be completed. The same applies to paint protective film.

Is that true?.... Ceramic is just an upscale kind of polish..... How can that have an impact on insurance?.... how would they ever be aware if you didn't provide the information to them?

Greetings, I presume you are required to assert that the automobile is in its original factory condition, which it is not.

I can easily discern an automobile that has been treated with a ceramic coating from a distance of one mile.

I am only attempting to advise members to inquire with the insurance provider about coverage for the vehicle.

Can you discern the difference between a meticulously polished and waxed vehicle and one that has been treated with a ceramic coating just by visual inspection?I really doubt that you possess the ability to do so. I am unable to do so. Our body shop requires evaluating the caravans prior to repairs in order to determine their condition.
According to a brief online search, it seems that informing the insurance company about modifications to your vehicle is not necessary, since they do not consider it as a modification. However, if you choose not to inform them, they may refuse to cover the costs of reapplication after a claim. However, this exception would not be relevant if you were making a claim against a third party.
Undoubtedly, the question arises: is pricey wax considered a modification, such as tyre shine or Rain X? L:OL.

Hello, I see the rationale of informing the insurance company, since there may be a significant financial implication of several thousand units of currency for PPF. I am not interested in ceramic coating. As said before, who has the ability to discern the distinction?
