I would be suspicious that it didn't need paint correction. I too took mine to have it done and couldn't believe the difference, even new cars can use paint correction. I had X-Pel put on and two ceramic coats at a cost of almost $5000. X-Pel was put on the entire front end, about 6 inches up all around the car, the flares and other places as well as between the windshield and sunroof and the pillars. I think it was totally worth it not having to worry about stone chips. It's funny I find myself only needing to wash it occasionally and with the Adam's blower I'm done in 20 minutes. It's weird not having to go out for hours and love and rub and buff. Lol. I'm realizing I really don't miss it, I'm getting older and not younger. Lol.
Totally agree - love the results !! I don’t miss the had wash / wax routine at all
@@GuysTalkingCars I completely agree. Although it is weird to get used to it. Lol.
@@dgeo0392wait he did mention that his car was straight from the dealership so I wouldn't think there's a need but definitely overpaid no doubt those guy made hella profit
@@Machoman50ta I can only imagine the mark up. I'm in Ohio and just bought a 2023 Challenger SPWB T/A from MO. The dealers from Ohio are too greedy!!!
@@dgeo0392 nice im getting a scatpack 2023 wb charger in January or late December msrp right now where I'm at is finally coming down at 60k but I'm gonna try and work out anything below 55k not 3 months they were going 76k and up tripping balls 🤣
Thank you for the info I been very curious about this stuff for awhile now.
I am very happy for your info thanks
You’re welcome! Thanks for the support!
Thanks for the breakdown on everything. Love the widebody scat pack!
You’re welcome - agree!!
I think it’s worth the dough!! That shop looked legit.
Scat mobile looks amazing
oh wow, the person who buys your scat in 5 or 6 years will be stoked that you did the clear bra and ceramic coating...car looks fantastic
True!!! 🤣
And thank you !
Really good review! You do get what you pay for, you won’t regret doing that!! Especially if you keep longer than 5 years.
Full car PPF w/ silver+ ceramic pro coating = $6500
Includes 5 year inspection maintenance plan (many shops charge extra).

Scat looks great 👍, I also did my 2019 scat I did the whole front clip plus the roof and trunk here in south FL the sun beats hard on the top of the car that's why I did the roof and trunk but I didn't do ceramic I didn't think was worth it since I have ppf protecting the paint but I will get the whole car done in ppf little by little
Good call! After I took a chip in my door without PPF, I am doing the same. Gonna PPF the rest of the car 👍🏻
Just ordered 2022 version. Hemi Orange Package with granite color. Leaning towards Kavaca PFF. going to start with Kavaca window tint.
Oh nice!!!! Scat pack? Let me know how you like that PPF. I ended up doing basically the rest of my car (full doors)
@@GuysTalkingCars did you delete my reply? Or cannot reply with a link?
@@NJ_Scat_Hemi_Orange no did not delete anything. I do see the granite color note - I missed that sorry. Hit us up on IG when you get the car - would love to see it!
@@GuysTalkingCars maybe I typed out a response and didn't post. To summarize in response I was saying that your ceramic is so glossy it looks like liquid glass.. almost like a direct mirror. I'm concerned about it being too glossy. I am probably going to attempt the kavaca matte ppf with a ceramic coat on top. The matte ppf should flatten the initial gloss and ceramic coating on top would hopefully make a glossy matte. If you look at the marketing for the hemi orange package that car in picture looks like it's more matte than gloss. Which is what I'm trying to replicate.
@@NJ_Scat_Hemi_Orange gotcha - makes sense. I can tell you that glossy look is more a product of those fluorescent lights in the detail shop. It does give it a nice look, but doesn’t alter the finish too much.
Im interested in this so if i can only pay for one done at a time which should I get done first the clear coat protection, or the ceramic coating, or do they need to be done together?
They actually recommended both - they laid down ceramic first then did PPF. If you could only do one, I would PPF the front/high impact areas. It’s already saved me from rocks. But you could also do the 2 year ceramic with it to save money. I did the 5 year.
@@GuysTalkingCars Thanks👍🏿
Just about any new car direct from the factory needs some sort of paint correction. Heck the guy at the dealer who washed your car before pick up could put imperfections in the paint. I got the 9 year ultimate serum black pakage which also included the rims, all glass and interior fabric. That cost me 1800.00 in 2019. It has a 9 year guarantee as long as i bring the car in for a yearly inspection. I didnt put the wrap on the car as that was way out of my budget
Yessir! It ain’t cheap but a good choice!! Thanks for tuning in and dropping a comment! 🔥💪🏼
I don't think I would spend 4gs on paint protection and ceramic coating. I ordered a widebody scat two weeks ago and talked to a place nearby that said 800 for ceramic coating. I don't think I would have gone as far as you did on the paint protection either. I'd probably opt in for the complete protection of the whole front of the car, but that's where it ends.
2gs for the whole thing max. Anyways I know you want to protect your investment and so do I. But I'd rather spend the other 2gs on other things for the car. Like some sticky Mickey's or Michelin 305's. I know I'm grabbing some 5% tint too. Bad ass ride brother. Enjoy!
I hear you! I probably overdid it - and the cost put a dent in my wallet. But overall I’m happy! Enjoy your ride! Keep in touch and let us know how you like your car when it arrives!
@@GuysTalkingCars I just wonder how long it will take for the car to come in. They said 6-8 weeks. I'm thinking more like 12 weeks. Either way can't wait.
@@finney2011 yeah 12 weeks is probably likely. Keep us posted. Dodge sure surprised us with timing and I know they are giving priority to sold orders and the cars that are their top sellers
Can I ceramic coat my self a new car. Assuming no paint correction needed. I believe ceramic coat kits are like $300 so you just wash the car and then claybar the entire thing. Then just spread the coating.
Yes you can - just be patient and make sure no paint correction issues as the ceramic will highlight them. But you should be fine!
thx for this one. yea I'm looking at PPF and it definitely aint cheap like you said. I'm not sure about the ceramic and not even sure my shop that does the ppf does ceramic too. Were your headlights covered in ppf too? I hear those are debatabled
I’m not sure if my headlights were PPF. I’ll have to check. If I had to do over I would skip the ceramic, do a paint correction and PPF the entire car.
I ended up doing PPF on basically 75% of the vehicle after I took a rock Chip on the door
@@GuysTalkingCars thx! Good to know. This helps . I didn’t know you had that much of it done with ppf. I saw the rock chip on your front spoiler but didn’t see the one on the door. I’ll def get the rear fenders done too and likely some of the rear and behind the lower quarter panels in the rears in addition to the usual front areas. I’ll have to ask about that paint correction
@@samrmills no
Problem! Let us know what you decide to do and how you like it
@@GuysTalkingCars Will do! I forgot...how many days total did your shop need your Scat to put all that PPF on there?
NVM watched it again...10 days to two weeks. Ouch!
bro california is more expensive almost. 3000
Yep. CA kinda sucks man. I cannot lie.
Dang! 2 weeks. Everyone I talked to was 2-3 days to do the entire car. Maybe they work slower in California. LOL
Well it was the ceramic coat too. And it required dry time between apps - but yeah, probably some Ca chill time in there too LOL
@@GuysTalkingCars I had forgotten you did the Xpel too. That took 2 days on mine. Good stuff. Keep it up.
Wow way too expensive, you should of shoped around you could of saved 1k at least..
Yes Maybe!!! Thanks for watching!
I still don’t know what ceramic coating is.,..
It's a WHOLE LOT of money, that's what it is.
I have a 2013 Charger RT, redline red, with 95k miles as my daily driver. Have only kept it clean regularly and applied a couple of coats of "regular" wax and the car looks great still.
Personally, I can't imagine dropping that kind of money on a $45k car, but that's just me.
Personally I don't think you care about your car
@@thereasonwhy5188 it is a Dodge Charger RT. Was $34k brand new. The thought of putting ~6% of the cars purchase price in to over priced coating to keep it clean looking is LUDICROUS to me.
Oh, and I am forgetting that I would already be on my 2nd or 3rd application by now makes it even MORE ludicrous.
So I would already be $4k-$6k invested in something to make my car more shiny.
My opinion, that's ludicrous.
But maybe you can persuade me. Why do you think I am wrong?
LUDICROUS don't know about that if a person plans on keeping a car. No different when a person restores a old classic plans to hold on to it. God willing an pass it down. Trim level is not a factor I have a 18 myself and I want to repaint and ceramic coat if possible
@@thereasonwhy5188 Hey, that's cool that you see value in it. Me, personally, I will not be keeping my '13 RT long term, and never planned to, so for me (again, just my opinion) I think it is ridiculously overpriced, relative to the value of the car. Just my take on it.
Is it worth it. Nooooo. Look its been over 100 years cars coming from factory with paint finish r great just polish ,wax, make it a habit ,hobby clean ,polish ur car. 3000usd for something u aint gonna get back, whats happens if u have an accident,u still got to paint it,ceramic is a rip off for ppl with extra money.u dont really need that.its for lazy ppl
Sure ok . . . Still PPFd my entire Hellcat. No regrets.
you are wrong on so many levels.
No offense but a fool and his money are soon parted.
🤣🤣🤣 none taken. We car folks make decisions . . . Not always on a solid financial foundation. Our passion overtakes us. That said - no regrets on this one. PPF is a must!
what do you drive?
