I picked up my car Sunday 30th November and it went on on Monday 6th December for Grechniq ceramic coating and EXOv4.

The guy said it was the best conditioned new car he’d had in his bay and usually finds minor paint faults and swirls. However, he only found a couple of swirls on the black trim that meets the glass under the spoiler.

The car looks insane! The weather here is bad and I’ve driven around and the dirt just doesn’t stick to any part of the car, the rain just beads and slides off.

I’ve attached a few pictures for you too check out if interested


The guy who did it is based in Ossett, Wakefield and his business is Obsessive Detail. He’s on Instagram and has a website which you can read what he applies etc

I used him to clean my old car when he first started out 7 years ago now and he’s now accredited in Ceramic Coating. Lovely lad, go check out his Instagram page as he posts all of his work which is good as I like businesses who are transparent!

He said if it’s maintained it should last between 4-5 years.

He will be maintaining it once a month so hopefully get the 5 years out of it. However, it will be traded in, in year 3. At least the next owner will also be able to make use of it though

I mainly had it done as my previous qashqai’s paintwork all started to flake so I didn’t want it happening again. Even though I really looked after it, the slightest chip on the bonnet would end up becoming quite large from it peeling away right back to the primer

Looks sweet mate, I've ordered a Tekna in that color without floating roof, will definitely be ceramic coating it. I have looked at Xpel and Suntek for paint protection film as I was in that trade however they don't do templates for the Qashqui probably because most people that buy them just want them to cart their families around and don't care for paint protection in the slightest lol.

Have you looked at Gyeon PPF, one of the best around imo, I'll be getting my BMW X5 M Sport PPF'd and ceramic coated when I eventually get it (ordered it in October last year)
