I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on the C-Magic Radiant, it's something I might like to try in the future myself. It sounds like one of the more user friendly ceramic coatings to apply.

To the OP, your car looks excellent!

My understanding of product use from C-Magic is to prep surface the way you want it and wax then detail spray then Radiant on top. Then you can add as many coats of Radiant you want following the curing time...is that right?

Thanks,

That is correct. The more Radiant, the more protection and shine.

That is a Sto N Sho from Big Mike's. Had one on my last GS also. They probably take less than an inch of ground clearance and can be removed in no time. Never had a problem with them. You're right, I should have taken it off before the pics.

Wouldn't the detail spray be the last step after putting on Radiant? Also, why bother with the wax step, wouldn't just Radiant alone provide the shine?

You wax the whole car first and it turns into a haze and the haze is removed with the detailer spray and it adds wax components, clarity enhancers and bonding agents to allow even more surface stability. Once this is achieved, you top it off with Radiant which gives it more shine, hardness and protection and it repels dirt, bird droppings and other contaminants that settle on the car. It repels the dust and makes washing the car easier. Radiant also provides a hydrophobic to allow water and debris to slide off easier. You can keep adding Radiant on top of Radiant, but just wait the 12-24 hours before recoating.

The detailer spray wax can be used on top of the Radiant if you want, but I would assume you would want the Radiant on top for the qualities I mentioned above.
