First time getting PPF and ceramic coating done together. I don't know what my expectations are. I will say that bug guts are not any easier to get off, which surprises me.
Hydrophobic properties also seem gone. I have to talk with Rainer though, understand I'm not knocking his work, I just didn't have time to go over all the care and maintenance suggestions. This was also only the 2 year ceramic coat.
They did PPF the black painted B-pillars between the front and back doors, but the PPF doesn't cover the leading edge, which kind of seems to defeat the point. I didn't notice this when picking up, but when washing the truck, the amount of bugs killed by that little edge is surprising. And since it isn't covered by the PPF, seems a prime candidate for chips.
The PPF application overall is great though, especially the extras he did. There are zero application problems like bubbles or poor coverage (except the B-pillar). Like I said, not knocking his work, I think Beyond honestly pumps the gas a bit too hard over ceramic coating. I have not asked him to fix or look over ANYTHING yet, I am sure if I brought the truck in, he would work with me.
Call this a "mid" review of the whole process.
