Default ProduXa Ceramic coating

Ok at the urging of my other half, she ordered TOO many of these.

So tried it on her hood of both vehicles and I have to say it really does look like 10 coats of clear. I thought it would make any orange peel stand out more but does the opposite
Had to stop there as I cant stand more for than a few minutes.

2-4oz treats the whole car, has a spray thingie you use.

What I noticed is once you apply it, how long til you wipe it off? If its right away can be tough. 10 min and theres spots/streaks, do I wait longer? Instructions dont specify

Slippery as hell...did set the bottle on the hood and it slid off....but left some marks that I cannot remove.

Not sold on this stuff, any suggestions? Finish looks good but kind of a pita unless Im doing it wrong.

Thoughts?

Typically on most ceramics you apply only to a small area at a time. Go up and down on a 2 x 2 area and then back and then left to right over the same area. Let it sit about 30 seconds to a minute and then buff off with a soft microfiber.

Ifyou have streaks or any rainbow effects, it sound like you let the ceramic dry without knocking it down. Buffing back out with an electric buffer or DA polisher with some mild polish is the only way to get the dried coating back off.
