How did you strip it? Just a cutting compound?
I think GregW means that when he got his car, he did what I did, took it to a detailer who made any "corrections" of flaws created during shipping, before the ceramic coating was applied. He can correct me if that is wrong. I had four coats of Ceramic Pro done after they corrected mine and included the wheels and windshield. The detailer also used a high temperature variation on the dual exhausts and brake caliper housings. And this stuff is tough. I took a large gravel to the front bumper from an oncoming truck. Sounded like the whole windshield caved in, it was so sickeningly loud. Back in the garage, I looked for the damage and couldn't find any. A few days later, washing bugs off the bumper, the work light was positioned just so that I saw a tiny light flair on the bumper at about driver distance from the side of the car body. Told the detailer and he asked for a picture. Took the picture and the imperfection is so tiny you have to know where it is among the metallic specks. I told him I'm not worrying about it and if he can find it during my annual top coating, he can fix it. I once asked him about doing PPF in parts like the front bumper instead of the ceramic coating and he said the coating would have to be removed with an abrasive compound. That was before I got whacked, and now I'm not so worried.
