Ceramic coating - safe for the unpainted fender flares?

[quadna71]

I have a Carbon Force kit from Chemical Brothers that I will be applying to my TRDORP. On their website, they list the applications as paintwork, glass, metal, aluminum, and stainless steel...but not plastic. Has anyone experimented with using this specific coating on plastic? I'm hoping to net a little UV protection on the darker plastics to keep them from fading to a splotchy light gray over the years like every piece normally does.

Chemical Guys you mean? Got a different google result for brothers, lol. Just about all ceramic coatings are good for just about any part of the vehicle, I'm not familiar with theirs but Adam's graphine, Cerakote ceramic etc is just fine on the plastics. Keep in mind almost all the coatings or waxes have very minimal (if any) UV protection when actually tested. You could always try a non visible portion of the flare on the lip or something, but honestly I don't think you have anything to worry about. Call or email them if you're worried about it.

Thanks, yes - Chemical Guys. Bummer about the lack of UV protection as it is one of the facets most companies tout with their ceramic coatings.

This guy has some great tests and reviews of a bunch of products. Well worth the watch.

Yes. Mine are ceramic coated. Shine Supply makes a great product specific for plastic ceramic coating.

these coatings are not super magic

The primary component of "ceramic" coatings is silicone oil,
usually polydimethylsiloxane, aka, lube.

'project farm' did a bunch of tests and shows some brands which blow the
others away, it may make sense to view one of his test rounds before you
drop money on ceramic coatings, to see how much the may vary in performance
