Unlike a traditional ceramic coating, a single layer of Revivify is five times thicker offering a level of protection that is far superior. Most ceramic coatings begin to fail and lose their shine and effectiveness within 6-12 months. Revivify is closer to a Paint Protection Film (PPF) and maintains its appearance and performance for many years. Another benefit of Revivify is its self-healing capabilities keeping your car's finish scratch and blemish free. Revivify achieves this amazing task by using the sun, a heat gun or hot water. When the cars surface is heated any minor scratches, blemishes or water spots simply disappear. Because the coating flexible, it absorbs the impact of small projectiles reducing the risk of damaged or chipped paint. Even spray paint is no match for Revivify, if your vehicle gets tagged, simply wet a microfiber towel with water and wipe right off. Another great benefit of the product is its protection from the suns UV rays which protects your cars paint from ever fading in the sun. Revivify has an amazing lifespan lasting 5 years or more, which I've personally witnesed.
