Default Shine Armor ceramic coating

A friend of mine saw this product being advertised on TV and bought me one. Not about to use something that was “As Seen On TV” on my C6. But I told him I would ask the Forum for their impute. It is called Shine Armor, Fortify Quick Coat...waterless wash, shine and protect. Purple in color. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Depending on which comparison vids you look at it’s nothing short of confusing what is good, average or terrible.

You should post this in the car detailing section, or search that section yourself.

You are right, I googled it and I was amazed at the number of reviews, mostly good but as some said not better than the products they were already using. Thanks

If you do a little research you well find most auto detail products are much the same. Ceramic coating is just that, a coating. Some are better then others. There is the ceramic spray coating then there is the actual ceramic coating that you hear about all the time and it is best left up to a professional. The biggest thing about ceramic coating is it durability. The ceramic spray usually does not last much longer then a good paste wax unless you also use the maintenance products as suggested.

I bought a bottle of this when it was a daily deal on Amazon. No complaints, I thought it was pretty good stuff. I wouldn't pay the full price of $20.00 - those bottles are small.
