Ceramic Coating

[kwkabbes]

I did go ahead and do the full DIY ceramic coating on my 16
1. Foam cannon, 2 bucket wash with Dawn
2.Ironx spray and megs clay bar
3. Megs Ultimate polish/ compound with 5" da polisher
4. IPA isopropyl alcohol wipe 50/50 water mix with 99 percent alcohol
5. Cquartz 3.0 with reload in 30ml kit. Did entire exterior incl glass and rims (2coats)

Could not be more happy with results. Def well worth the full 10hr process. Washes take significantly less time and I get alot of "is that a new paint job"

I've wanted to take the plunge and do this, but I just haven't set aside the time.

Show us some pictures!

Had mine done 3 years ago with OptiCoat pro + still looks great and super easy to clean. Couldn't be happier but it was $1000.00 to have professionally done!

IMO I would def have it done professionally. I am proud of the job I did but CQuartz is not a professional product. There are enough people doing it now days that you can get full ext. 3-5 year fenylab with full paint correction between 700-1000. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY PAY THE MONEY IF I HADNT DONE IT MYSELF.

That looks good. I haven't tried ceramic coating before but I might consider it.

I just used Turtle Wax Graphene (there are other brands). I was blown away. Easy to apply and has UV protection.
