I'm interested too. I do have a biker friend that did his black bike and man it's a mirror shine. Just did it so not sure how long it lasts. I only saw the pics I haven't spoken to him. The other thing that kinda scares me is while watching the video it says that it seals up all those micro gaps in your paint. Kind of like after you clay your car. So I guess what I'm getting at is it sounds like the car needs to be near perfect then have this applied to seal it/ coat t. Otherwise I think it's just covering over those micro grooves that supposedly have dirt in them?? Am I crazy?

I would do a paint correction before applying for sure. There's a lot of pictures of cars on their fb page with tons of swirls.

The paint must be free of any imperfections prior to applying any sealer product. If not corrected you are just sealing in the imperfections and in many cases it will look worse than what you started with due to the increased light refraction off the swirls, scratches etc. Always correct first.

Just posted this on another thread but I bit the bullet and tried it. I just did a quick wash and then top coat entire car with exception of turneau cover attaching pics.


Quick wash no waxes added.



Trunk done, vert cover not



Inside the garage with a cell phone camera. The car took less than 20 minutes to do.

Have you had it on long enough to see any benefit with keeping the car clean? My main goal is to not have to wash/wax as often without spending hundreds on a ceramic coating.
