Dealer ceramic coating yeah or nay

[tylerdurden]

Hiya, new here. Couldn't resist the discounts going on new tacans and pulled the trigger. Picking up shortly but have been offered the ceramic coating and interior protection from the main dealers. Value thoughts?

Also - just exploring a partial PPF on front - probably will not but interested in recommended details in the South East

Cheers

I got the ceramic coating deal and despite being expensive I suggest it. I really have no time to spare to do it myself and it helps to keep the car clean and it’s a lot easier to wash it.
if you have time to spare buy the kit for 75 quid and spend a day to ceramic coating your Taycan

I think the deal includes the glass, wheels and interior

I had never had ceramic coating before. This was clean, paint prep, ceramic Inc. wheels and glass.
Not done by the dealer, I am happy with the result.

Yes on coating, but not by dealer. Find a reputable shop on your own.

I had mine done by my supplying dealer for £650...prep was immaculate and well worth it IMO. Previous car was an F-Type which i had ceramic coated by a third party and Porsche was every bit as good....like all things, depends on who does it and how good they are

Porsche was every bit as good

I'd be surprised if the dealer actually did the work. At that point, it comes down to whether you want to trust the dealer to choose the installer or if you'd rather trust yourself to choose the installer.

It's done via MY dealerership on their premises. They said their valeters are G Techniq approved. Their sell was it was their responsibility if done by them so i took it at that face value.

I got the porsche factory fitted front ppf. It's fine.

Around London, go have a look at NVN and Topaz. They both have amazing facilities and some fairly impressive cars in their work shops. Both in Park Royal, so you can kill 2 birds with one zone.

I nearly used one for ceramic, but never got a round to it (never absolutely convinced about whether it works!).

I'd echo, the dealerships will most likely sub contract, so why pay the middle man?

 

[tylerdurden]

agree with middle man concept but the Gtechnique coating is £950 elsewhere and discounted at £650 by dealer. Cannot see they make much out if it to be honest

I had Topaz do full PPF and Ceramic and cannot recommend them enough - incredibly good.

I got the GTechniq coating and it's great - I've been able to jet wash the car with no extra effort or products to get it clean again when it needs a quick tarting up. I didn't do PPF but wish I had on the front bumper - already have 2 nasty scratches from stones which I've never suffered from on previous cars. I paid about £700 I think, worth every penny and the gtechniq products pack will keep me going too

 

[tylerdurden]

am I right in thinking once GTechniq is done a PPF cannot be put over it? Needs PPF first?

Correct, PPF first, then ceramic / GTechniq after.

I’ve been quoted £799 or discounted to £599 if I take Gap or cosmetic protection. The cosmetic one isn’t bad actually so am debating.

I’ve mailed the dealer asking who does it and what product.

Worth it at £599?
