My dad bought a black 2016 GMC Denali Dually a few weeks ago and the dealer couldn't do the clear bra for another week. He brought the truck home and drove it a week in the snow and just sprayed it off at the self serve car was. When he went to the dealer they gave it a wash before the clear bra, but as anyone who keeps a car clean and takes pride in it knows, you must rinse the car of heavy debris before you put a wash mitt or brush to the paint. The dealer didn't do that and scratched the hell out of the truck. It's everywhere and some worse then others. The owner of the dealer called my dad and said he would put his best guy on it from their body shop. Well this last Thursday he did his thing. When my parents showed up they were not happy at all with the results. Now the dealership is hiring a detail specialty shop to cut and buff the truck but I had questions about that. I know clear needs a certain mill thickness to work correctly with uv inhibitors and for strength. The detail guy said they use a ceramic sealant to "build the duribility back up." I told the detail guy I wasn't happy with the process but it is what it is now.
He suggested I read about the ceramic protectant before I put it down. I suggested he get on this site before he preaches it as gospel.
What's the feelings on this process?
The truck has about 1k miles now and the dealership said it was commercially acceptable the way it is in the photos.
