    Question Self Healing Ceramic Coating

    So I know Feynlab has self healing ceramic coating however you need to be a authorized installer to get it. So I'm wondering if there is any other company that sells self healing ceramic coating to consumers like me who just detail their own cars and maybe the odd client here and there.

    Thanks

    I’ve never heard of another one. I do know the company you mentioned is really good. You may not be able to get their Heal line. But their other consumer grade coatings are top quality. It’s worth going with the top coat too.

    I also have heard good things but their consumer line lasts about 1 year when comparing to cquartz UK 3.0 which is 1.5 - 2 years. Also Feynlab is more expensive. So I dont see a reason why their consumer stuff would be very different?

    Thanks

    Kamikaze has a coating with some self healing capabilities.

    Don't buy into the longevity claims from companies. It is going to vary. The environment and care plays a large factor in how long a coating performs. Also keep in mind that coating companies use up to X years with the key words being "up to". Now there are some coatings that do perform better than others.

    Also the self healing aspects are probably nothing spectacular.

    True on others lasting longer. But not many people make it the full three years or whatever companies claim now before someone has their vehicle redone. Like “The Guz said all these time frames are up to. So under perfect conditions they can say our coating last up to 5 years. I personally tell customers to divide the time the company claims by half. I think that’s a more realistic time for some customers.

    rimccarty2000 is correct. I forgot all about them having one two. I don’t know about Kamikaze. But Feynlab does actually work to a point. The lite will self heal very light swirls and scratches with heat. I kind of reminds me of Nissan’s clear on the new GT-R’s. It would be good to have for someone who doesn’t wash their vehicles properly.

    The article is good.

    But one would have to put a super thick layer to have a hard layer of coating. Most of it is wiped off during the leveling process and once the carrier solvents have evaporated the layer of actual coating is thin and probably flexible.

    I mean we don’t see coating’s crack into pieces and fall of the paint.

    Exactly. Clearcoat can actually be measured, the coating itself can not. At least not any coatings that I'm aware of.
