Silver is the best color for hiding pollen and dried Winter salt. I almost went Pro S in Scale Silver, but then along came Mary and the FE "2nd chance."
I too thought Ceramic coatings were a dealership gimmick when first introduced, along with their interior "teflon" [shades of "Rusty Jones" back in the day?]. But there's real molecular bonding science behind the quality ceramic applications.
I've not used it myself tho' so will let those with experience advise. Whenever my Zaino and Griot's synthetic run out I plan to transition to their ceramic:
What the heck is "Ceramic" anyways?
The term "ceramic" and its use in the automotive surface care realm has emerged over the past decade or so. It is not a marketing term, ceramics are rooted in solid, advanced chemistry. The active ingredient SiO2 (or silicon dioxide) which is a derivative of silica delivered in liquid form in most automobile-related applications. There are many approaches to the carrier chemistry which apply this technology. Professional ceramics often rely on solvent- and resin-based formulas which can be temperamental and hazardous to apply. Our Ceramic 3-in-1 formula features a proprietary water-based blend of special ultra-hydrophobic polymers, nanoparticles of SiO2, and carnauba wax. Ceramics are touted for their extreme durability, hydrophobic or water beading effect, UV protection, and their ability to produce a high-gloss finish. They also have "self-cleaning" properties, which is defined by the resistance to soil, grime, oil, alkaline, and acids. So, a ceramic-treated surface sheds these contaminants, or self-cleans, when exposed to rain... keeping your vehicle cleaner longer.

I don't know anything about it and assumed it was a gimmick. What's a good one to get?
