Did TD conduct a "before" and "after" paint thickness measurement on random areas of your panels for your reference? If so, you can point out the areas where the coating failed due to significant variance in paint + coating thickness when you bring your car to TD for inspection. I assume TD applied the consumer grade CQuartz UK ver 3.0 to your car.

Yup CQUK 3.0. He just mentioned na the hood is thinner than other panels.

1 year nung dinala ko kay TD. From CASA ako lang nag lilinis niyan, first time mahawakan ng iba nung dinala ko kay TD hehe.

About sa hood na mas manipis ang clearcoat, tingin niya daw before release ni buff. Ayun hehe.

Scratch resistant na ba ang paint pag nagpa ceramic? Kahit Sadyain? If not I wouldn't spend that much money on it.

Nope it isn't. But that's not the point of a ceramic coating, a wax or a sealant.

I see. Even so, I think thin clear/paint is not the reason why the coating is failing.

Still beads. One week no wash, rains in between. And now rained on again.

Highly possible yan ang ginamit na ceramic coating ng Technical Details na hindi nila pinagtatapat sa customers nila. Dapat ang gamit nila yung professional version dahil installers sila and not DIYers.

Baka alam naman ng customers ng TD na cquk 3.0 ang inaaply nila. And dapat ba pag detailers, automatic professional line kaagad gamitin? I dont think thats the case. Price difference pa lang malayong malayo na. Choice ng customer yan kung anong pasok sa budget nila. Either way hindi naman issue kung anong cquartz ang ginamit eh. Ang gusto malaman is bakit nagkaganun ung coating. Probably a fluke or most probably its the insufficient time of curing

Si ATMT (carpro phils) ang may choice kung cquk or cquartz finest.

Nope. Ni-DIY ko lang yan. McKee's 37 paint coating ginamit ko.
