gets the job done

Absolutely amazing product, Works like magic on my car Bit difficult as I am first time user as well as applying it on a white car, wish prep spray should have bit bigger size. Application glass was so much easier

I applied the coating, the uv light is fun. I want to see how long the coating last.

I was always scared to try ceramic because of how difficult it can be to mess up. I gotta say this was not difficult. Labor intensive? Very. Difficult? No. This is a solid weekend project. My flow was wash>iron removal>synthetic clay>polish>strip wash>surface prep>ceramic. I had already done a two stage correction when I got it, but since then I've only used waxes and sealants. The polishing brought it back and got out all the new swirls. As far as the graphene, I watched the Adam's livestream of how to use their advanced graphene and it taught me a lot. I applied it, waited for the rainbow to dissipate, and waited for it to sweat. Then I used the suede towel, which felt grabby on the surface as they described in the video to level it out. Then I used the white towel to buff it off. The coating itself only took about 3 hours to do the painted surfaces. I applied in a crosshatch pattern in smaller sections along the body lines to ensure it wasn't sitting for too short or too long, because my environment was uncomfortably hot and humid which decreased the cure time. The UV part was pretty useless on my car. Maybe more helpful on a lighter shade. Ignoring the prep, I give the actual application of the product a 7/10 on the easiness scale. It really wasn't hard. It definitely gives the car a very high gloss. It is incredibly shiny. It's not deep like a carnauba wax though. If you're willing to give up the better part of a weekend, you can have a coating that will last years and save thousands DIYing it. It should be noted that per their videos, you can use this stuff on many things. Any exterior surface of the car, glass cook tops, shower doors... You name it. I used exactly one bottle on an Audi Q7 and S5, covering both exteriors completely minus the wheels. Keep in mind that the applicators and towels are one time use. They'll get crusty when the ceramic dries. So if you wanna do multiple coats or different things on different days, have some extra applicators and towels ready. Also, once you open the bottle it will start curing, so close it in between panels and use it promptly. Update: Washed it for the first time and the hydrophobicity is amazing. I completely dried the car towel free with only a small battery powered blower, the kind you would use to blow sawdust off a workbench or something. If I had a real leaf blower I could probably dry this thing in less than a minute. 3 month update: Hydrophobicity is minimally degraded. I'll use a synthetic clay mitt to bring it back. Car still easily dries with a blower. Also want to add you may find some information on the internet saying you don't need to level the coating on plastic, like the gray stuff on bumpers. You absolutely must level and remove the coating just like on paint or glass or you will get white streaks that are essentially impossible to remove. I used it on the plastic rockers on the S5 and the entire grille of the Q7, which has a ton of gray plastic. I thoroughly cleaned and surface prepped, and then applied the ceramic in the same manner as the rest of the car, although deciding when to level and remove it is a guessing game because it won't rainbow or sweat. It deepened the color and restored it to how it looked new. No more chalky, oxidized plastic trim! One year update: This stuff is still going strong. Water beading is still outstanding, I can still dry the car completely with a leaf blower, and the shine is immaculate. I have not touched up the coating at all except for a handful of applications of Adam's graphene detail spray. I never used a clay mitt on it as I said I would, and apparently that's not good for the coating anyway so I'm glad I didn't. Thoroughly impressed with how it has held up after a year. I would not hesitate to use this again, but apparently I don't need to. I went ahead and finally did my brake calipers and wheels, and wow. The brake dust just rinses right off. It's amazing. I really don't even need to touch them.
