Heres what I did to prep:
1. Wash - 2 bucket method
2. Claybar
3. Polish with Griots Garage 6" random orbital & orange correcting pad. Used plain old Meguiars polish.
4. Wash again to remove any remaining polish.
5. Dried car with Adams double soft microfiber drying towels (these are awesome).
6. Applied generous amount of ceramic coating panel by panel, waited a few minutes, and wiped off residue with microfiber towels. Stupidly easy.

(Yes I realize there's a scratch in this picture. Its too deep to polish out, but you get the idea heh.)


I just sprayed the car off for the first time after ceramic coating last week and I've never seen the water bead the way it does with ceramic coat. It is just like a new ceramic cooking pan, nothing sticks!

This is the kit I used (CarPro cQuarts):

Thank you, Reg. Did you apply the Ceramic in sunlight, shade, in-garage?
