Hello Everyone!!

What Ceramic Coating/Spray would everyone recommend?

I have been looking at the following and would like to hear some feedback.

Adams Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating Advanced

Let me know what you have experience with and recommend.

THANK YOU!!!

I use Nova Lustre or Griot's Ceramic 3 in 1

I previously tried the non-advanced Adam's Graphene Ceramic spray. Worked fine but durability didn't seem like it lasted very long. I'm trying out CarPro Reload 2.0 currently. I like it so far.

There are like 40 to choose from. Some might be waterless or rinseless that can be a QD, some are dedicated LSPs, some are quick detailers with sio2 added now.

Most of them will work the same and be around the same price. Carpro and Gyeon seem to be some of the best stuff, but double the cost. Then there's good stuff that's ubiquotous like Mother's, turtle wax, meguiar's et al

My favorite "cheap" ceramic spray is Wolfgang Uber rinseless sio2. It's like $20, but it is concentrated and you dilute it into like 20 bottles of 16oz or so; very economical. Incredible gloss, shine, slickness, ease of use for a water based spray.

Sonax's new slick ceramic detail spray, car pro and gyeon, wolfgang, pinnacle... all great. Griot's 3n1 is meh imo.

Then you have something like beadmaker which looks as good if not better, and is cheap at $15 (which you dilute 50/50 so makes 2 bottles), but is not ceramic at all.

i'm currently using Adam's graphene ceramic spray advanced, but i have limited run time with it. I top it with TW graphene flex wax spray. I only need my coatings to last 2 years or less, but prefer something more durable than menzerna power lock. I perform a detail once a year in the spring so the Adam's ceramic spray suits me need.

Any of the Polish Angel products are outstanding.

Pretty much this.

* Best duration + shine IME is turtle wax seal-n-shine; looks great, lasts forever

* Best minor swirl filler + shine: Nova Lustre (add Jet on top for duration)

* Best mix of looks/duration/user experience is Griot's

* Best hydrophobics is Mirch Beadking

Gyeon can coat is easy and works great

If your looking for a snow foam applied spray on rinse off product you could try...

Bilt Hamber Touch-On
ValetPRO snow seal
Koch Chemie protector wax
Autoglym Polar seal
Gyeon wet coat - this is a ready to go product in a trigger spray bottle but you only need a few spritzes per panel.

I went with the Car Pro Reload. It came out nice and very easy to apply.

[Lifeisgood20]

Looks beautiful. This thread has been helpful-thank you. Did you apply Reload over CarPro CQuartz? If so, how often do you need to apply reload to keep protection?

Thank you! This is the first time I am using Carpro reload products. I completed the wash and decontamination process along with Carpro Eraser. Once I completed that I put Reload on.

Was looking for something quick and easy.

I did have my X6M Competition professionally done. The X5 is my daily I will just do myself and reapply something every 2-3 months.

I did my first ceramic coating on my XPEL PPF this spring and it came out great. Used NANOLEX SI3D MAX from Detailers Domain. Pretty easy to use and then just follow it up with Sonax Ceramic Spray Coating to extend the life (you can use as a detailer). Nothing sticks to it...

Gyeon has a ceramic spray that I've heard good things about. It can be used as a stand-alone ceramic spray or a topper. CarPro Reload 2.0 is another one I'd take a look at.

If you're looking at doing a traditional coating yourself, I'd look at Gyeon Mohs, Gyeon Pure, CarPro Cquartz UK3.0.

He is! He hasn't posted anything in a while... I love his Pan the Advertizer nickname! LOL!

[Jindun]

Just had my car professionally done; detailer used Artdeshine. However, he also highly recommended the Griot's 3 in 1 to maintain the coating.

I use Gyeon Ceramic Detailer around every 3rd wash, my X5 is Gyeon ceramic coated but it can also be used as a standalone topper.

Second vote fly can cost. Amazing product.

I dont disagree with any of the suggestions here. Personally, I use Griots 3 in 1 (the green bottle) like once a month. Very quick and easy application. I use two cloths. One for applying and other for removing. Whole car takes less than 20 mins.

I've used Avalon King on both my Grand Cherokee and on my wife's X5. when I pick up my new F80 this weekend the first thing I'll be doing is using the same. It's very easy to use and they provide everything you need from applicator to latex gloves in the kit.

I used AK on two cars and didn't last as long as Adams Ceramic/Graphene did. It's is no cheaper. Even as Scott HD has seen. Adams kit comes with all that AND a light to show where you miss and it works.
