I'm having a problem getting this off, It appears to damage the paintwork. I'm thinking of trying some kind of ceramic coating protection. Can anyone recommend a suitable treatment?

had a ceramic protection applied last week - body and alloys. I had an experience of applying ceramic coating to alloys on a previous car and it was very positive (aplied twice with a gap of a year and 4 years after the second application cleaning was still easy and water was beading). The coating is only few days old and I can't comment much, but the work by guys in a workshop was great and manage to improve a great colour even more.
went for:
Gyeon coating for body and AutoBead Silex PRO for alloys.

Not sure if it works, but here is a link to the body shop posting a photo

Thanks. That looks fantastic. How much did it cost?

[ARnovice]

Thank you.

if I tell you, my wife will kill me
we agreed on just shy of 800 with the most cost is for preparation.

I wouldn't go for it if I hadn't had previous experience. when touching a surface it feels like glass surface almost.

Cheers mate. Your secret is safe with me.

I've used Barry at Autodetox for all of my last three new cars. He's based in the West Midlands. See https://autodetox.co.uk/new-car-detail/
I've no connection with him other than being a very satisfied customer. Any quality ceramic coating needs to cured overnight before the final stage is applied. I'm safe as my wife knows the cost
