Default Ceramic Pro experiences?

I am thinking of having Ceramic Pro paint protectant applied to my C7. Apparently it's a clear coat that can be applied by hand and you don't have to polish your car for years after it's applied. Has anyone in the forum had any experience with this product?

I did some searches and mostly found good things regarding Ceramic pro, I was particularly interested in what you thought...I know you like Blackfire products and wanted to know your opinion of sealants like Zaino and Blackfire vs Glass Coatings like Ceramic Pro9H. My house doesn't have a garage and I live in Florida so I was thinking Ceramic Pro for the durability vs sealants...what do you think?

Look into Cilajet as well. I fell in love with their product and had it on my BMWs while stationed in Germany. Makes washing the car extremely easy!

For outside in Florida a coating is perfect, don't confuse Blackfire and all the polymer sealants w/coatings, they're different, I would do it... And Blackfire is what I own now , if I find something easier, I'll drop blackfire in a heartbeat.

Ceramic Pro, Opticoat+, CQuartz finest all put a measurable layer of silicon dioxide ceramic quartz. Its great for preventing swirl marks, but as mentioned, it will require reapplication in a year or two.
