He said that the best I could do was to apply a synthetic polymer-type product, which will degrade rather quickly in the Arizona heat and that my Ollie will need frequent re-applications. He said that he only recommends applying his product to gelcoats that have not experienced any oxidation. He explained that, once a gelcoat had even once oxidized (which mine had in the past), it was compromised in a way that the ceramic coating could not properly protect it, and the oxidation would continue under the coating. According to him, all 'ceramic' coatings were based on silicone dioxide. The most interesting part of this conversation was that he spent many minutes basically talking me out of using his service. He said that he uses a different product made in Japan. He thought that Cilajet company was pushing an inferior product.

He said it was 'junk' and did not know why the company listed him as a dealer. He spent considerable time educating me on these types of products.įirst of all, he told me that he DOES NOT use Cilajet. (The next closest one was over 200 miles away.) So I called and spoke to the guy who does indeed apply a ceramic coating to fiber glass. I was pleasantly surprised that one dealership listed was indeed near me, only twenty miles or so. Cilajet can be applied to Fiber Glass and will provide great shine with long-lasting protection! Below you will find a list of authorized dealerships near you!' This was included in her reply: ' As mentioned, you ask about fiber glass. Well, I called the Cilajet company and received an email after speaking to the representative. Here is a follow-up on my investigation of Cilajet that may interest others. Is there a different Cilajet product for fiberglass? The Cilajet page says it’s for painted and metal surfaces, but does mention boats. I would probably cry like a baby if I got a serious ding on our new Ollie.

I did follow the advice of many and get some mud flaps to reduce any potential damage. just in case it turns out I was overly optimistic. Thinking about getting a small amount to try my hand at it on the truck.

and I think that it's something I could do myself. It seems to me that it would be ideal to protect the most vulnerable areas on the Ollie. so imagine the Oliver must feel like waxing a barn!Īnother thing that I'd like to learn more about is the XPEL film. I really like to keep my rolling stock looking really nice but the truck already feels like waxing the side of a house. Is it just as good on gelcoat? Waiting and watching to see and hopefully do the 'touch and feel' at the rally. I have been wondering if the same 'ceramic' coating that is used for aluminum. while others seem to like another company. I see there are some different recommendations based on some experience with one company. We had our new Acura RDX sealed with a ceramic coating (guaranteed for 5 years). I'm interested in where this conversation, research and actual results pan out with these different coatings.
