non high end/easy on ceramic coating recommendations

How long does 1 coat of CarPro CQuartz last vs 2 coats for a car only driven on weekends in fair weather? Also is Gteqniq CSL & EXO a significant upgrade in performance?

I was debating as well. I did Griots Garage Ceramic 3 in 1 and use OG drying aid in between washes and garage kept. Holds up well.

I was thinking of going CSL & EXO, but if I messed up it would have to be polished off so I went with something easier.

Actually even with Griots there are some high spots on the front Grill inserts, that I probably let sit too long. Will fade after a while.

If you are going spend the time to polish, mine as well get something harder and stronger.
