My GS-F came with Zaktek applied (there's a sticker in the window). Does anyone know what is really is and how long it lasts? Is it a ceramic coating?

Thank you

 

This is not the same as ceramic coating, as it's a "sealant". People have differing opinions, but I've heard that it's just one of those BS upselling items from a dealer that can't hold a candle to a real ceramic coating. Either way it only lasts 6 months or so, meaning i wouldn't count on it for much protection if you were already looking into PPF and/or ceramic coating.

 

Can I apply ceramic coating knowing is has this on?

 

I'm not a detailer, so take my advice with a grain of salt. If I purchased the car and was planning on doing ceramic coating, I would probably do a full detail/paint correction beforehand anyway. I have a feeling that a clay bar and alcohol wipedown during said detail would strip off any of the Zaktek anyway, and you'd have a fresh clean surface for the ceramic coating.
