You can't expect your insurance company to replace something that you've chosen to put on yourself. I've got gtechniq ceramic on mine but I wouldn't expect it to be recoated in the event of an accident. I'd have to pay for it again myself.

The whole point in declaring modifications is to ensure that they're covered and you get reimbursed for them if they are damaged in an accident.

You can't compare a physical modification to a coating that will wear off in 12 months.
Except it doesn't wear off in 12 months! It's a 7 year coating.
Wow - and I thought I was pedantic!? Still not a permanent change to the vehicle though.

Of course not but the point I was saying was I haven't mentioned it to my insurance so if anything happens to the car I'd just stump up the money to have the area redone. And it's not being pedantic either so not really sure why you needed to comment on it 🤷‍♂️

We'll agree to disagree on that point - whether it's a 12 month or 7 year (which it'll never get to by the way) coating, if you notified your insurers, you CAN expect them to refinish your car to the same standard as before the claim.

Why will it not get to seven years? And I'd hardly call correcting an incorrect post being pedantic.

You beat me to it with your edit! Now, that really would have been pedantic. 😉
