Default Sapphire V1

Spoke to my detailer today, apparently there is a new product out there called Sapphire V1
that seals the paint with what he claims is an indestructible shield so hard that it has to
be chipped or ground off.

Anyone had any experience with it? Is it worth the $1500-1700 (1000-1200 for the product 400-500 paint
prep to get it perfect before sealing)?

I've heard of it. Personally I think there are better options out there with better trained applicators. Some reviews have mentioned blending issues and streaking as concerns with the V1. I'm personally not a fan of ceramic coatings, if for no other reason than access to the painted surface in the event of damage or accident.

I'd still love to see someone's write up on the product (other than the manufacturer) covering the prep, application and final results.

I agree. I'll stick to the old fashioned method I still use. clay bar, polish, polymer coating.
