Clear coat on new rig??

[tamrick]

We are in Tucson currently looking at a 2022 245 RL and they said they put the ceramic coating on for us but it looks absolutely awful. They're smear marks and everything in the dealer is saying that the ceramic coating brought out imperfections since grand design does not clear coat, they're transcend models. Does anybody know if this is true or not?

It was not applied correctly. I've done it myself on our cars and it will leave smear marks when done incorrectly. Not sure if it can be stripped and redone. I would contact someone that does that for a living. Ceramic coating is is good stuff.

In the end it's your investment so your decision. Keep in mind that you can get that same model somewhere else. Maybe even at the same price or close to. But if you are willing to live with the sloppy workmanship then maybe you can negotiate an even better deal. Like not paying for the ceramic sloppy job and getting another x amount off. This could also effect your re-sell value.

THANKS EVERYBODY!! We negotiated, inspected the repairs, were satisfied and are now the owners of a new 2022 245 RL

We have a 4 year old Reflection 303RL fifth wheel and reluctantly decided to have the ceramic coating applied. Our RV still looks great and we live in Florida. Glad we did it now and would do it again. Only advice we can offer is inspect the RV before it's coated because anything (in our case Love Bug Guts) that's on the surface will be impossible to remove after the coating is applied.
