A car dealer may use a very high silicone content dressing on the trim before selling it to the new owner and some of this may not be able to be removed before application of a ceramic coating. That can cause it not to bond and create an unsightly appearance if not entirely bonded. We believe it is also possible that the plastic may “gas out” for a year or so after being created and potentially that gas could get caught between ceramic and plastic and create tiny microscopic bubbles that start to make an unsightly dulling appearance. In the rare instances that it happens, there is no surefire solution to removing the discoloration or white dots due to the fact it is nearly impossible to effectively polish a ceramic coating off textured plastic without changing its appearance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eMatte Finish Surfaces:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003eWith regards to coating a matte or satin finish surface - we personally advise against using any semi-permanent coating on a matte finish or any finish that you are not able to polish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003eThe reasoning is two fold. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003e1.
