Compare · Ceramic vs Dealer
That "paint protection package" the dealer sold you often isn't what you think. Here's the honest difference between a dealer add-on and a professional ceramic coating.
The Difference
Both get sold as "paint protection", but the product and the prep are worlds apart.
Usually a low-grade sealant applied quickly over an unwashed, un-corrected car — swirls and all — as a finance-desk upsell.
A named GYEON or ONYX coating applied over decontaminated, machine-corrected paint by a specialist, with a registered warranty.
A dealer sealant fades in months; a professional coating delivers years of gloss, protection and easy washing.
