You are always spot on buddy. You can add Ford to that list too. I used 3M UltraFine on the Audi and Ultima Paint Prep on the Ford before coating them. I just lucked up because I didnt know this til now!

Re: Ceramiclear Paints - Be Careful
I believe to date on Maybach, Mercedes, and BMW use the ceramiclear paint. Likely due to the cost, and supposedly only on their high line models. Any other models ??

Re: Ceramiclear Paints - Be Careful
I was having an issue with ceramic clear coat on a family members black e350. It ended up taking twice as long as I had expected, I ran out of time because they needed the car and had to skip the very last polishing step so it still has some very very light swirls that I'm going to correct later this week. All I can say is I do not ever want to work on ceramic clear again! It was an ordeal to say the least!

Re: Ceramiclear Paints - Be Careful
I did a little looking up - at least for some manufacturers, to check if the car has Ceramiclear, check the car's paint code - Ceramiclear paint has a "C" either before or after the three-digit paint code.

Re: Ceramiclear Paints - Be Careful
Geez sounds like a nightmare. Why don't they just use regular clear, but apply it 4 times thicker than they currently do?

Re: Ceramiclear Paints - Be Careful
Oh my god, I wonder if my 2011 mercedes GL450 has the ceramiclear on it. It is black and this is the first car I am going to detail.

Re: Ceramiclear Paints - Be Careful
Maybe I'm missing the point here--is the point not to remove the "ceramic" portion of the clear because then you've removed the whole point of putting it on the car? Or is the point that after you've removed it that the remaining clear is horrendously soft? I don't see how the "underneath" part could be any harder to correct than Ceramiclear unless it's "sticky" or horrendously soft like that BMW jet black.
