Recommendation for DIY Ceramic Coating

jsingh91 · 07-12-2019, 10:20 AM

Hi guys,
I've checked with local detailers and they're all quoting me $1000 plus for detailing, ceramic coating, etc. which is out of my budget right now.

Can you anyone recommend a product I can apply which will be give me a ceramic type finish? I don't mind applying it every once in a while so long as the process isn't ridiculously long and tedious.

I came across some products on Amazon such as the Car Guys, Chemical Guys, Sonax, and am hoping someone can shed some light based on their experiences!

Thank you.

Adam's has an affordable DIY kit. All ceramic coatings should be applied to near-perfect finished paint for best results. https://adamspolishes.com/collection...ating-kits-diy

There are a number of other threads here about long-lasting sealants as well as waxes.
