The "ooh me back" should've given it away so less of a boy, I'm a stupid 50 pretending to be 23.

Had a test drive in a Honda crv black edition auto very tempting anyone had a ceramic coating treatment applied to their car? seagulls are the big problem where we live alot of mixed reviews online . Regards kop

@KoP A friend of mine has a CRV of the same age and loves it. Coating sounds like a good idea especially for a black car irrespective of the gulls.

Isn’t it just a liquid they wipe on and let dry?
Probably better to pay for a proper machine polish and protection from an independent car cleaner

Seen that one bud thankyou, it seems if it's all in the prep it needs alot of work before hand to get a glossy even finish can't see a main dealer putting that amount of time in ?? . Cheers kop

As you probably know KOP, black cars are notorious for showing up the dirt so I think getting a protective coating is a good idea if it helps it stay clean as well as make it easier to clean. It really depends of what sort of owner you are, will you be the type to be happy cleaning it every weekend or less or eventually resent doing it? I personally wouldn't buy a black car for that very reason as I've only ever cleaned mine when I really have to in thirty years of ownership irrespective of it's age or condtion but then it still looks presentable at a distance even when it is actually quite filthy.

Interweb pic of my model, it's a fairly bright blue so hides the dirt fairly easily.

Diesel or petrol? Mines getting on a bit, but it still looks good when I eventually clean it.

from memory it was 2.00 litre petrol nice car but we found it to big for what we needed also was manual and we were both used to autos. even though I had a manual van. prefer to dive autos now we have had that many

Went for the CRV black edition should do me for a few years . Kop

 

[gmartine]

Yeah but are you going to spend another wedge on a ceramic coating?

 

[Scott_D]

Looks nice, petrol or diesel?

 

[Darren Jackson]

I drive a Vauxhall Cascada, when I'm not driving my Transit that is. Great fun to drive. 4yr old this month & 20k on the clock. Top spec with all the gadgets. Full leather sports interior, 20" alloys. It's in metalic cosmic grey & looks the biz.

Diesel

Yes mate probably but think it will be a detailer job as Scott mentioned, the main dealers just don't do put the effort in machine polishing scratches and swirl marks and any minor imperfections in the laquer washing and degreasing the car before the coating .
