Have you ever messed up a ceramic coating?
Yes we have. We have never messed up a whole car, but we have had issues with single panels.
On both occasions it was because the coating was disturbed before it had cured, and both caused by our inexperience when we were new to ceramic coatings.
In once case, the panel was able to be rectified, with lots of polishing and then a re-application.
However, on the first car we messed up, we had tried to correct the problem with another application and made it worse. The car was being restored and had just come back from the bodyshop where the panel in question had been repainted. Although is was unrelated to the mistake we made, it did mean that it was easiest to just send it back and repaint the panel. This took time, but the car was off the road anyway.
We have also been called upon to correct other people's mistakes.
Things do go wrong, and the more times you do something, the more likely something is to go wrong. So although we have learned and hope not to repeat our mistakes, it is sure to happen again. The important thing is that we are able to rectify problems and put things right.
