Professional Ceramic Coating for Cars – High-Gloss Professional-Grade Paint Protection Kit, Ultra-Hydrophobic, UV & Chemical Resistant, Easy Application, Industry Leading 500 Wash Longevity, (2) 30ml Bottles

Don’t let anyone tell you it takes a professional to ceramic coat you vehicle. That’s not true. I have never applied ceramic coatings to a vehicle before nor was I trained how beyond watching YouTube videos but wanted to try it. Before applying this to my vehicle a neighbor and I split the cost of an order of this Cerakote product. We applied it to an old junky 11 year old dark gray work truck. We chose it because he didn’t care if we screwed it up. This truck has areas where the paint ranges from good condition to beyond hope condition. It has perfect paint and heavily oxidized paint as well as places that look ok but the clearcoat is etched by rainwater. The end result was amazing. The hood where the paint was pretty good looks showroom perfect now. Like a mirror. The oxidized paint areas was greatly improved and we found that this stuff fills in and corrects small clear coat scratches. But the fact that we applied this product ourselves with no prior experience and did a good job is the point. Just find a YouTube video. Follow the instructions. Done. Perhaps other ceramic coating are more difficult. I don’t know. But this one is easy and if you could screw it up I probably would have but didn’t. I’ve used Cerakote trim coating and also the headlight restorer kits before. All very easy to use. Very DIY friendly. Great results. This product is just as good. Highly recommend it.

I’m a first time user of any ceramic coating. After researching many brands & application methods on internet & utube, I was confused & a little concerned on attempting it. Decided on Cerakote based on mid price range & testimonial reports on ease of application. As most reports state, the preparation is critical to get a good final result. I used on a new Ford Maverick PU and did all prep steps 1). Handwashing with neutral PH soap to remove dealership spray wax & hand dry 2) I used Turtlewax brand Iron remover with a heavy rinse & soft towel hand dry. 3) clay bar with plenty of lube over all painted surfaces including wheels. Did a section at a time with micro towel removal of lube before going to next section 4). Suppose to buff paint but with a new vehicle I had no paint issues so this step was not necessary for me. 5) Handspray (50/50 mixture of alcohol & distilled water) & immediate wipe dry with microfiber towel to removal any lube residue from clay lube from step 5 Application of Cerakote product I sectioned vehicle into 12 sections (roof-engine hood/grill- 2 front fenders - 4 doors- 2 bed sides - tailgate & wheels. I used applicator provided with kit. Put 4 or 5 drops on applicator pad & wipe on painted surfaces with a cross hash pattern. Product goes on very easy. Add more product to pad when it feels like it is dragging (you can easily feel it) I applied to a section ( typically 2 minutes to apply) & set timer on my phone for 3 minutes. Then I applied product to next section & had time to get wiping & buffing microfiber towers before timer went off. I wiped with one towel & buffed with second towel in same pattern as applied when timer went off. Complete both sections before applying product to next two sections. Product does not dry on applicator pad between applications so I was able to use same pad for entire vehicle. Just be sure not to drop it or contaminate pad between sections. Product was easy so wipe off & buff. You can easily tell by slickness which section had product applied to. I’m very pleased with the application & results. I can’t testify to durability but initial results as good. If you’re a first time user don’t let all the talk worry you. Take time & followed instructions for product & you will be happy with results

Note that this is my first experience using this type of product. I applied to a white 23 ram 1500, all external painted surfaces. I did this in the shade of my garage from the cooler morning and into warmer in 85 deg+ temperature with low humidity. I did the strip wash, clay bar, iron out, alcohol prep- no polishing. The application went well, uzing a little more than 1 1/2 bottles. White is probably one of the safer colors to not see any application issues, but I didn't noticed any. Watch a few u-tube videos on application techniques. It is not difficult just set a timer, or two. While I was not expecting to save a lot of the chemical, I was concerned during the process if I would have enough with the rate of use as I went. I do expect I would use this product again, but may try an application pad that absorbs less coating. This will probably require adding the coating to the pad more often but also mean a little less waste. Also, having an extra pad in case one is dropped on the floor would be nice. I have some other products that give good results on glass, but after seeing this on my paint I am interested to try this on my windows. It is hard to objectively see a before / after without pictures- but my perception is a noticeable shine and very slick touch. When I wash the truck I am pleased with the hydrophobic properties and ease of cleaning. I will not get as many opportunities to wash the truck over the winter in the pacific northwest, but it will be a good test. I believe it will pass with a high grade based on what I have seen so far. Overall, I expect to use this again and would recommend it to friends.

I was a little apprehensive about DIY ceramic coatings. This product is amazing. Easy to use, just watch the YouTube videos and be very careful to cover every inch. It starts to cure very quickly. The results are amazing. The “drying with water” thing is no joke. It is so hydrophobic, if you run a hose over your car with no spray nozzle, the water comes off in sheets and there is very little risidual water to dry off. I hope it lasts but so far so good.

Beads my car's paint when going through the car wash making it easy to clean. Love how it made the sparkles in the paint pop.

It's been around 6 months since I applied this to my (new) car. I also added a coat of Cerakote rapid ceramic paint sealant on top of it as an added layer of protection. All in all, it still beads water very well and makes washing the car a piece of cake. However, I did notice two areas where it looked to have worn off so I ended up removing the coating from those panels completely with a polisher and re-applied. I keep it in a garage so it was strange to me that I needed to do maintenance on it so soon. I have another car that I coated using the Gyeon Mohs/Skin combo. It's been about a year and a half and it's still going strong, so if you're considering it as a choice you won't go wrong there either. The Cerakote costs a good bit less and was also easy to apply. Plus, I like that Cerakote actually makes there own stuff.

Amazing stuff Side note- When apply this coating it cures very, very quick. I'm talking 30-45 Seconds at most. Be sure to look for the curing effects quickly it will look oily and sweaty. Be sure to use an isopropyl alcohol/ water mix on the panels of the vehicle prior to applying the ceramic coating Hydrophobic Quality -10/10 Shine/ Slickness- 10/10 Ease of use - 8/10

I bought this product in my research for a ceramic coat for my cars. I am impressed. Was easier than wax to apply, seems far more durable, and makes washing easy. 2 bottle pack is enough to cover 1 large SUV and a small car. I also bought the window wipes after using this product. Make sure you have isopropyl alcohol on hand and microfiber cloths. First step. Keep the car out of the rain for a solid 24h.

Exactly what you expect from a ceramic coating. Water beads off. Ease of application and u don’t need a whole lot. The vehicle looks brand new and has a glossy shine. Use for personal and customers and can tell you it hasn’t had any complaint back. After this is applied cleaning is easy. Just a once over with some shampoo and foam and no problem.
