Ceramic Coat Interior Plastic?

[SloopJB]

Has anyone tried to ceramic coat the interior plastic as the plastic is prone to scratch easily

Don’t waste your money

I got this stuff. It works really well, imo. It's also easy to apply. I doubt it will do much to deter scratching, but it gives a nice clean look to whatever you apply it to.

DIY detail has a interior ceramic coating, but these are not the same as a true exterior ceramic coating with high content of solids to cross link... think of it more like a stain resistant topper to your interior.

I already have a product named, Adam’s Graphene Boost, a product that is intended to extend the life of your ceramic coating. Got it on Amazon from a company named Adamspolishes.com

it was recommended by the guy who coated my Mav

If you had your exterior done and if the guy who did it recommended a product, why don't you try it and let us know.

It's doubtful that anything other than being careful will protect the recycled plastic interior from scratches except maybe PPF.

i didn’t ask him about interior plastic coating. That is why I am inquiring about others experience. I do not want to make a mistake. I am not good at being a Ginny (sp?) pig

I am not sure how you could ever apply something liquid and transparent to the plastics to protect them from scratching. UV fading, sure, but if you bang a diamond ring into the door panel, nothing short of PPF would seem to have a chance.

In my experience, a lot of the interior plastics will look better if they have some petroleum-based coating wiped on. This could be Armor-All or any other detailing wipe that isn't water-based. This is especially true of the soft orange cubby liner on the XLT and anything else that looks "lighter" when scratched. It's a temporary fix, but a lot of people seem to go nuts detailing their interiors anyway.

Imagine my surprise when I picked up my new (used) truck and washed the orange plastic only to find that the dealer's interior detailing coating hid all the scuffs, scratches, and such. Poor thing went from "like new" to "been through a war zone" with just a bit of dish soap.

Thanks for your response. I am hoping that since the plastic is hard, like the body our our trucks, that putting a coating that will enhance the characteristics of the base material would increase the resistance to scratching The surface.

I have worked with ceramic coating in the pouring of liquid steel and, even at temperatures that exceed 2800 degrees F, the life of the, in this case, nozzle would last 2 to 3 times longer. I am convinced that ceramic coating is beneficial, but do appreciate that the thickness of a coating is extremely small.
