Anyone applied Cilajet to their exterior or interior?
Is it worth it? Thank you ! 🏎🐱

 

Never heard of it. Do you have a link?

the dealer highly recommended it but I wanted to get the car detailed and all
scrarches buffed out before I did this application

thx for the reply

 

I’d be interested in getting feedback on this product as well. I’m due for a refresh on my coating in another year.

 

One of the companies that my business partner and I have is DentPro. We have a subsidiary company that offers (sells) Cilajet through new car dealerships. I will share that the product, when properly applied does indeed live up to its claims. There are quite a few similar products on the market however, Cilajet has been around for quite some time and enjoys a well earned reputation.

 

I had it on my SVR when I purchased it (previous owner paid for it from dealer). From what I recall, its really just a glorified wax sealant. You would be much better off going with a reputable detailer that can do a proper paint correction, perhaps add clear bra where desired, then apply a ceramic coating (several coats) over entire car.

 

Looking at the linked website, I see there is both a Paint Sealant and a Ceramic Coating.

Which are you considering?

Traditional dealer-applied paint sealants are a waste of money IMO, they supposedly require freshening every 6 months. I'd rather wax the car myself, and inspect for blemishes/chips, and remove road detritus.

The ceramic coatings are supposedly more durable. I've applied a hybrid ceramic coating (Turtle wax Spray and Shine) to my wheels, and IMO it does a good job: So far, it has been good at lessening the brake dust buildup, and is easily dusted off (with a dedicated-for-wheels California Duster). After I use up my present supply of carnauba wax, I intend to do all the paintwork with these products.

Funny how, soon as the weather starts to become warmer, a young man's fancy turns to detailing.
(At least, for me...)

 

An old man's fancy turns to driving. Life gets too short to fuss with the details.

 

Driving and 15 posts short of 15,000!

And before you discount Carbuff2's thoughts completely my dear Unhingd, I too love washing and/or detailing my car--I do find it an enjoyable, and sensuous, experience--when the mood strikes me. Yes, driving above all, but the devil is in the details (particular when I'm using your retailer.)

I'm now just waiting for our buddy DJS to post that his "Red beauty" has left the barn.

 

I too enjoy washing , paint correction and waxing/ sealant....it's keeps me busy in the winter months, since I have have plenty of time to kill before the snow melts.

 

Hey Zach, it's been awhile (we miss you here.)

You mean--although it's self-evident--"since I have plenty of time AND CARS to kill before the snow melts."

Best regards and to L.

OK, so I'm OLD, too.

We have two exotics/weekend cars to drive, and I STILL put about 5K miles on each one last year! (Well, the wife put a few miles on the F...it's HER car.)

Trouble is, I can't go out into the garage to admire them unless they are clean...

 

Alway around here lurking. Never any shortage of cars to clean and prep for the season.
