I know you are the body man and perhaps you would know if any body shops use Ceramic Clear Coat?
I was watching Ultimate Factories - Ferrari, and was impressed by the CCC. It sounds like a good investment.
Have you ever used it?

 

PMs work also to specific members

 

My thought exactly!

If I ever get my car repainted I would use the new Infinity paint. Self repairing. If you have a scratch, let the car sit in the sun, UV gels up the paint a little (unnoticeable) and then it fills in the scratch.

 

Yes PM's for user specific comments, but this is interesting and I would like to hear what he has to say also. JCON, I saw something about that infinity paint, it looks interesting but I would really like to see it work in person

 

I'd love to go over to the local infinity dealership and scratch a car but I can't bring my self to do, mostly because its illegal but partially because I almost bought one before I got a Mustang. They won a few auto tech awards for it. I wonder how much it costs :x

 

its just paint...

 

Marilyn Monroe was just a woman. I've heard of this paint too, know anything about it ?

I don't want to get into a pissing match with you, but you do strike me as an individual who has the ability to contribute a lot but so chooses to be a grumpy old phart most of the time.

Any way, I did find this info about Ceramic Clear Coating;



PPG Industries Inc.
Ceramic Clearcoat
Preserving a scratch-free, high gloss finish over a longer vehicle life has challenged the auto industry for decades. One problem is acid etch, degradation of the surface by acid rain in the environment, a major factor in the phenomenon more generally known as weathering; another is scratch resistance to abrasion from many sources, not least of which is the car wash. Unfortunately, any solution comes with trade-offs in paint chemistry. A scratch resistant coating was not as environmentally resistant, and vice-versa. And chemistries which offered the best combination were not water based, so applying them released solvent volatiles from paint departments.

All auto companies wanted a solution to this problem. Working with DaimlerChrysler’s Mercedes-Benz unit, PPG’s Development Group in Allison, PA, developed Ceramic Clearcoat technology. Ceramic Clearcoat uses nanotechnology to migrate silicon particles to the outer surface of the coating, creating a very thin, hard, glass-like surface. It sets a new standard for scratch resistance, at least three times better than that of any prior coatings, while maintaining excellent acid etch resistance, and with little capital expense or time required for conversion in production. The coating is sufficiently hard that new methods for testing it and for repairing it had to be developed. Ceramic Clearcoat should contribute to the preservation of a desirable high gloss for years under conditions of daily wear, even including washing of fleet vehicles.

PPG’s ceramic clearcoat now comes in two commercial versions: Ceramiclear, a two-component clearcoat, and Certech, a single component clearcoat. Both can be applied in current water-based paint departments without new paint lines or equipment. Ceramic Clearcoat is now being applied to Mercedes-Benz automobiles.

Right, but the first thing you notice about a car is it's looks and I would like to preserve that look.
