Can you put too much ceramic coating on a car?
The short answer is yes, you can put too much ceramic coating on a car.
We have seen photos of DIY applications of ceramic coatings which have gone horribly wrong, and it does appear that there is too much product on the car. What this product is, is anyone's guess, as it looks like resin. The products we use as professionals do not behave like this and are thin liquids, not thick resins, but from the evidence we have seen there are certainly products labelled as ceramic coatings which can be applied too thickly.
As for the products we use, if they are applied correctly, then it is hard to see how you could put on too much, and it have an adverse effect. But you will get diminishing returns.
As an analogy, if you were to paint your kitchen and two coats covers and gives sufficient effect, would you benefit from applying another twenty coats?
When it comes to correct application of ceramic coatings, a thin coat should be applied, this way it dries evenly and can be removed evenly. Putting on too much could complicate the application process, in which timing is critical.
