However, this all depends on how you clean the car afterwards.

They recommend snow foam washing with a clean microfibre cloth (absolutely no sponges) and then just hosing off, clean microfibre to dry off and it will come up like new time after time.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just had my cars paintwork machine polished and ceramic coated at TDK detailing in Northampton, got it back yesterday evening and all I can say is **WOW**
It went in with a few minor scratches, some dull spots and loads of swirls which I had a few half a*sed attempts at correcting to no avail.
Hopefully the photos do it justice, the images have not been photoshopped or altered, in fact the one with the sun glints came off their security camera system. The car is now 22 years old (1998 Carrera 2) and it now looks like new .
Anyone thinking of having this done, give them a shout (I am not associated with them in any way) they are true professionals. :thumbs:
Wow that really does look amazing! I can only imagine the dullness created after 22 years, means it must be huge difference now. I guess they spent a considerable number of hours getting the paint to that condition before the ceramic. I had ceramic on my previous car and it was great. Stayed cleaner, always looked amazing, and cinch to wash & dry. It's all in the prep.
I also love the ambers too :thumbs:
The paint looks fantastic..great looking car too.. I've been toying with the idea of getting mine done at Topaz in Bristol but they do seem very expensive.. what did it cost you to get yours done.. Did they do the interior as well?
I dropped the car in at 9.30 on Monday morning and it was ready Wednesday afternoon at 2.30pm.
The did all the paint, polished the headlights, applied ceramic coating to the paint and the windscreen. Cleaned a nd detailed the interior including the leather seats, dashboard, carpets etc for total cost of £680.00.
In my opinion and seeing the transformation, it was well worth it.
WOW! that is amazing...good work!
I've been toying with getting mine done buy someone in Surrey...Northampton is too far away from me or I'd be there like a shot.

I would thoroughly recommend TDK, they really are passionate what they do, they only use top quality equipment and compounds, polishes etc and in my view, true professionals.
Check out their website. I am sure if you contacted them, (ask for Darius), I am sure they would probably drop you off at Northampton station and collect you when you pick it up.
The coating used on mine lasts 3 years, you can get a 5 year coating but more expensive. However, this all depends on how you clean the car afterwards. They recommend snow foam washing with a clean microfibre cloth (absolutely no sponges) and then just hosing off, clean microfibre to dry off and it will come up like new time after time.
