Ill get a video of how the water runs off of it for everyone tomorrow.


I posted it up on FB and its been getting a lot of great feedback there as well. :guns:

LOL I'm sold on the product but not the price! I'll do some research about the products available on Amazon and such. I'd like to see those videos though. I figure I can invest a Saturday in claybar and ceramic coat if I can get that showroom sparkle.

Make sure that you correct swirls (after clay bar) with polishing before you coat.. Otherwise you are just putting a layer over the swirls.

The big difference with coatings and wax/sealants is that the coatings do not have fillers. The fillers will make the car look good for a few months and then wear off. So to properly apply a coating you need to remove the imperfections with a polish (without fillers) and then apply the coating over top. That is why he needed a 3 stage polish and why his car looks so good.

Well yeah, good waxes and lots of work do a good job. But they wear off relatively quickly.

yup get those swirls out first. They wont ceramic coat anything without some kind of paint correction first, unless you brought your McLaren P1 there straight from the factory. :r:

Those won't scratch the ceramic coating if you use the two bucket method.
