I have never used that specific product, but I have been using the Meguiar's ceramic spray wax for about 6 months now. I saw it advertised and decided to try it. Initially I was disappointed as it left streaks on my gray car. But after about two weeks the streaks were gone and it has a better shine than anything I have used in the past. I have never seen water bead on the car like it does with this. I have no idea if Meguiar's is any better or worse that any of the other hybrid ceramics that are being sold at this point. It has a very different application in that you spray it on while the car is wet and then just rinse off. Very easy but very effective. The first application you wipe it down while the car is still wet. I guess the detailers are something that you spray on in between wax applications. I have not felt the need for anything additional.

 

You know, I see those commercials and wonder also. Based on the videos I see on Youtube, it seems a little inexpensive for a ceramic coating.

On you tube, I see they get a tiny bottle for like $89.

But then I put "Automotive Ceramic Coating" in Amazon and see there are lots of name band products that sell in the $20 range (plus those incredibly expensive little bottles)

You can even buy Shine Armor off Amazon. According to the reviews, people are pretty happy with the product.

 

The true value of having a car ceramic coated isn't just the ceramic coating itself. Its also the paint correction that goes into the car before its applied. Then the ceramic coating just provides a shield againt dirt, bird droppings etc to protect your paint. I had mine done first thing after a new paint job. To me, it was worth the cost. And don't get me wrong, it was costly.

I was just reading an article that compared 11 ceramics and the one that won was one from Avalonking: https://avalonking.com/ . For $70 it seemed like a great deal.I'd love to try it but i have already done my cars with Mothers' CMX. Very easy to use and has lasted a while. As Raven said paint prep is vital and i clayed before using my CMX.

 

I ordered two bottles of Shinearmor for 34.85 shipped (special deal). I will apply the coat when they come and will let you guys know the result.

 

Nice to hear that you are happy with it, getting mine done professionally next month can't wait to see it in action.

 

Guys, these spray on waxes are not the same as a true ceramic coating that is applied professionally. You are comparing apples to oranges. I like the Meguiar's but it is not a true ceramic coating.

 

You are comparing apples to oranges. You're right iol but at the price and performance of these , it's hard to justify the pro price. My friend bought a brand new 2019 Vette and had it done professionally and it was over $1500 ! Couple that with the fact that it was a white car and it seems , to me, crazy. I'm sure i'm like most guys on this specific forum in that i like to clean my car-- alot and don't mind putting on another coat when needed.
