My Tanzanite Blue SLK used to get obliterated in Aberdeen...
Aberdeen has its own toughened brand of sky rats. But it's definitely a colour thing!

UnMerc - 2020 VW Polo 2.0t GTi Plus, DSG. Flash Red, Traditional VW GTi Tartan seat trim.
That's a seriously nice motor and a beautiful finish to that paint.
I wouldn't be comfortable driving it around here in Llandudno though. Over the last few years I have noticed that seagulls crap in different amounts on different colour cars. Don't ask me why -:I have no idea - it's just a factual observatíon.
Blue cars win hands down! They get absolutely painted!!

Strangely Robin my Blue car attracts less Seagull poo than my Black ones did, or maybe it's because we didn't get so many nest's around our area as we normally do :rolleyes:

So 1 week in on my cheapo ceramic test. Still looks nice, raining today and beading nicely. So altogether happy with result so far.

Update:
Cheap ceramic is still looking good but...,
It's not as tough as I had hoped. After reversing into the granite cornerstone on my house I can confirm the coating failed to adequately protect my bumper....
To be fair I may have been expecting too much.
Off to the body shop I fear

The "protection" of ceramic is way overrated.........and individual expectations are way too high.....but you knew that. ;)

The body shop will curse you because they now have to get the ceramic off to do the paint job...may even charge extra!:geek:
