Make & model database · ceramic coating
Coating notes for your car.
Look up paint hardness, common defects, what coatings hold up, and what to watch out for — by make and model. Compiled from hundreds of real jobs across the Triangle.
WHAT EACH ENTRY INCLUDES
Five data points per vehicle.
Paint type
Standard clear coat, ceramic clear, single-stage, special-process metallics — each demands a different polish + coating approach.
Hardness
How the paint responds to polish. German paint is usually hard, Japanese softer, Tesla famously soft. Drives the correction strategy.
Common issues
Defects we see across many jobs on the same model — water spots, door-handle scuffs, factory polish marks, panel-gap residue.
Recommendation
Correction tier (single-step vs two-stage) and coating tier (2-year / 5-year / 9-year) that holds up on this paint.
Watch out
Model-specific things we protect during install — cameras in pillars, carbon trim, matte panels, fragile door mechanisms.
