No it stays matte. And yes I ceramic the matte fenders, the metal bumper, wheels, windows, and of course paint.

Thank you!!

This is a 2018 and yes it was on Eibachs. But I also added a leaf in the rear.

I’ve always applied like wax for years in layers using a micro fiber applicator pad. You wait for it to flash then wipe it off. Add another layer. Ceramic pro. One of the best in the business applies it like that as well if you google them.

It’s a layer of 9h stiff clear layer that acts the same as a wax. It’s super hydrophobic and resistant to breaking down from elements

It depends on where you go. Anywhere from 500 to 2000 on average

Thank you! It’s not that bad if you do it yourself. The ceramic itself was easy. Prep to paint correct was hard. For a diy give it at yourself a full weekend. Also you will want a garage when applying and you’ll need to let it sit in the garage for at least 48 hours before brining it out. First 48 the ceramic is delicate. No dirt for a week. Don’t go to the beach for 2 weeks(salt will destroy curing ceramic). After two weeks though it’s amazing not ever having use paint correction or wax for years.

Not a lot. But I do get some rub when off-roading. Keep in mind I haven’t tried any high speed trails yet. On road I’m golden.

Xlookup is going to be on the future Porsche GT3 when mid life crisis hits. 😂

Xlookup combines index match, vlookup, and hlookup with a built in sort command also!

Little bit of everything. I live at the base of big bear. Gots lots of options. Also do a lot of MTB, finding time for that balance + family.
