Not sure what your car’s in the body shop for but my understanding is you can’t ceramic coat new paint for at least 6 weeks.

Happy to stand corrected if someone with more knowledge comes along :thumbsup:

    My 718 was done in under that time iirc, after a full paint correction as even from the factory there are defects.
    Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

    If it is from a bodyshop, the paint has been dried at a lower temperature so requires longer before PPF or coating. For respray, it is a minimum of 3 weeks

    I thought it may be different between factory and bodyshop paint. I have a mate that got a repair done by the selling garage on a car he was buying and it was to be ceramic coated before pickup. The detailer did the rest of the car but he had to take it back in 6 weeks to get the painted panels done. Maybe he was being slightly over cautious with the 6 weeks.

      I have used both the products the OP mentions. Can coat is excellent, however the rim coating is not so good.
