It is possible to have a glass coating on top of ceramic coating, but it is not a common practice. The purpose of having a ceramic coating is to provide protection to the paint on your car, while a glass coating provides a glossy, hydrophobic finish. It is possible to have both, but it is not necessary as ceramic coating already provides a durable layer of protection. Additionally, having both coatings may result in added maintenance costs and potential compatibility issues. Ultimately, the choice to have both coatings will depend on personal preference and the level of protection desired.

too thick coating has a risk that i will crack and peel... especially vehicles that always under the hot sun in Malaysia. I've seen that happened on some car... it was a hell lot of work to fix it.

My turn to do a "What car is best" thread. I'm looking for :

1. A sedan car with a big boot.
2. Resale value isn't a big deal for me.
3. Performance and comfort are vital.
4. Safety is vital.
5. Budget is 100k give or take.
6. No second hand cars. Recon might consider.

I've pretty much narrowed it down to a few cars but any additions would be welcome as long as they fit the above criteria.

1. VW Polo Sedan 1.6
2. Kia Forte 2.0
3. Ford Focus Sedan 1.8
4. Nissan Sylphy 2.0
5. Toyota...
