Greyghost Ceramic Coating for Cars, Mr Fix 9h Nano Coating Kit Super Ceramic Car Coating Hydrophobic, Car Paint Protection Anti Scratch Glass Coat, High Gloss Auto Ceramic Polish 9h Hardness Ceramics

I have used three of these ceramic coatings including some really expensive ones. This is by far the best at least in terms of value and also equal to significantly more expensive compounds in terms of endurance and hydrophobic/protective qualities.We have used them on both paint and windshields, and just recently I did a set of alloy wheels with good results. On windshields they act as a kind of semi-permanent Rain X, improving wiper function and visibility. In lighter rain all we don't even have to use our wipers anymore. Car still repels bugs, bird droppings, etc., and paint generally looks like new.Pros:1) Exceptionally easy application including provision of a very nice small sponge pad which allows an even application of a very even thin coating. You need to be fairly economical with this to do an entire car and its windshield.2) Sets up quickly in a matter of 4 or 5 min. depending on temperature and humidity. Don't let it sit too long! After several hours you will not be able to take it off except with polishing compound.3) Easy to take off with almost any towel but microfiber works best.4) Multiple uses. Can code countertops, wheels, carpeting, windshields, etc. etc.5) Fairly easy to take off if you let it sit for too long or miss a spot when you're toweling off the car – surface will develop a funny kind of strange haze that's visible in certain light and from certain angles. The service will not feel as smooth on those areas. A light application of polishing compound – don't use rubbing compound! – removes this fairly easily.Cons:1) does not include a renewer or ‘over coating’ – but for 17 bucks what do you expect?2) No other real issues or problems.

I have used this product four times on three different vehicles, ranging from a one-year old car to a five-year old truck with a significant amount of paint wear. And then I used up the remainder of the bottles of the product on things like our clothes washer and dryer or our picture windows onto the rear patio.The prep process for using this ceramic coating on a vehicle includes the following. 1.) Foam shampoo / three-bucket wash. 2.) De-ironing / de-contamination. 3.) Compound polishing with an orbital polisher. 4.) Clean all surfaces with isopropyl alcohol. 5.) Apply the ceramic coating. 6.) Buff off the remainder of the ceramic coating with microfiber cloth. 7.) Clean off the hard plastic on the low surfaces like the rocker panels with something like Back to Black.My experience is that doing steps 1-4 one afternoon or evening, and then steps 5-7 the next morning makes the process a little more survivable - trying to do it all in a single day can be pretty exhausting. Buy a big package of microfiber cloths, as you will use them on most of these steps.This particular product goes on quite easily, and removing the excess after ten minutes or so of set time is also simple. When we first started a bottle on the new cloth and hard sponge, we needed to really soak it thoroughly in order to get going, but once the cloth had some saturation, everything works smoothly.At the conclusion of the application process, the vehicles all looked good, and the surfaces were indeed hydrophobic. We did all painted, chromed, and windowed surfaces, and that includes the interior of all the windows. We even did the alloy wheels and the headlights and turn signals. The first time we went overboard with the isopropyl alcohol cleaning, but that is probably better than under-cleaning.Even the well-used older truck, with some noticeable paint degradation, looked significantly better once we had finished. We spent more time with the de-ironing/decontamination and then the compounding, doing two runs with the orbital polisher to help correct some of the more obvious paint chips, on the older truck. This put us in a good position for the ceramic coating.In the months since our first use of this product, the vehicles are much easier to clean. Bird poop, squashed bugs, tree sap, and road dust all just wipe right off. The picture windows on the back of our home are also easier to clean, and the washer and dryer are slipperier, too. And in every application, the surfaces look glossy and deep, which is a big improvement. This is true even for a white car, but the deeper or more jewel-toned your vehicle paint is, the more effectively the product works to liven up the color and depth.

It's a great product. Even filled in swirl marks and gives off a really deep gloss/shine. Can attest that it gives some scratch protection too. I used this on my motorcycle and constantly ride with a backpack with straps banging on the rear seat cowl. Noticed that the usual minor scratches, from that, didn't occur anymore. But seriously, had people asking what year Ducati my 2000 red Honda VFR 800 (with gold wheels ;D ) was. IThe only doubts I have with this product is how long can it really last. I let it cure for 12-24 hours before riding out. A couple of weeks later I used a wet auto wash soap (muc off) to clean the dust and grime and it seemed like some of that shine went away. The other part is the bottle seems to be a one time use for cars and 2-3 time use for my motorcycle.Overall, would recommend if it isn't going to pinch your wallet. You can definitely spend way more money at a professional car wash that will get you lesser results.
