When I bought this car 8 years ago, I thought it was just about perfect. I'm not sure if that's because it actually was a lot nicer back then or if I've just noticed a lot more issues with it since I started digging into it. Regardless, the paint has seen better days. It still looks great in pictures, but it really starting to need a paint job.
In a last ditch effort to make this thing look nice for just a little while longer, I decided that I'm going to drop it off at Indy Auto Spa for treatment because I am most definitely not the guy for the job. The guy on the phone mentioned that they have depth gauges and some kind of service that should take care of a lot of the smaller imperfects without rubbing on it too much. I asked for ceramic coating as well because it seems like the hip thing to do, but the response was not really what I expected. He didn't think that really expensive coating was worth it for a car that's not a daily driver. I don't know if he misunderstood what I was going for if I just don't understand what I'm asking for, which I don't.
No, the car doesn't see the outdoors or even the sun very much, but it does get stored in a dusty barn with a cover on top which I believe is causing hell on my paint. I always thought ceramic coating was sort of a self-leveling barrier. Will this help keep the car looking nicer for longer? Why wouldn't I want an even better coating then?
