Ceramic Coatings and Auto Detailing Resources

This is why no polisher will ever touch your car's paint without us using a paint depth gauge on it first! And as you can see in the photos, paint thickness can vary from car to car and even from panel to panel on a single car. We need a starting point, and using a paint gauge is it.
