I was wondering with all the high end cars out there, I only know for sure that Mercedes is using ceramiclear on their post 06' models. Is there any other manuf. that uses ceramiclear paint?



Thanks
 
Many of the Grand Cherokees and I believe the new commander have DuraClear which is the exact same thing. Don't know what other models may have it.

Hmm, but the 300C is the highest end Chrysler I know of and it doesnt. Right?



What about BMW?

I can check on the 300C for you next time I talk to my dad, but BMW uses a "slurry powdercoat clear" which has it's own set of issues.
 
I am pretty sure the 2006 Buick LaCrosse(at least in Glacier Blue Metallic) has a scratch resistant clear of some sort. Purchased in late December 05' by my grandparents, it has held up through dealer prep, one swirl-omatic car wash(with brushes), and some less than ideal washing tools of my own (pre-autopian), and has very minor swirls and marring(read: virtually none). I look at it under various lighting(under full sun with sunglasses on, halogens at angles, etc.), and still have no reason to do any type of deep polishing to it yet.

I highly doubt it. I have deep polished 3 different 06' Black BMWs, and I find their clear to be very finiky. Doesn't really finish out well, yet doesn't correct well either. The softest MF will leave marring.

My dad's '06 300C has ceramiclear. It's not noted in the jams (like Mercedes with the "C" in front of the paint code), but after about 12-15 automatic washes since new, his paint has light marring, if that.

I've been hearing this. Not to steer this off topic but what polishes did you use? What kind of towels?
