Ceramic Coating Feedback

There are some products specifically made for coating wraps. Gtechniq makes one.

 

I've tried a few products. I used Gtechniq's CSL/EXO combo for years. It's pretty good, crazy hydrophobics. I found that it doesn't last that well if you're truck is parked outside 100% of the time like my truck. You get 2 years out of it and then it starts to fail. It also is a lot of work to apply. Along with the paint prep, it takes 3 coats to get a solid coating.

I recently tried Gyeon's Pure Evo, way easier to use. We'll have to wait and see how long it lasts.

 

Going into the 3rd year with the ceramic glass coat, still looks great, no paint chips yet. Water beads up same as when first done every time it rains. Haven't washed the truck since i bought it home from the dealer.
As far as the over the counter stuff you get at the places like wally world, the wife picked up some of this hybrid ceramic wash from the turtle wax company to do our prius. Its not bad, so far after 2 months the car looks good...just don't let it dry on your windshield, or you will have soap sud spots that are a real pita to clean off. We tried lots of windex on a rag wiping with some serious elbow grease and those spots are still there. If anyone has a better idea to remove them, im all ears.

 

0000 Steel wool and some Sprayway Glass Cleaner. On second thought, try just she Sprayway on some paper towel or micro cloth first. You can get the Sprayway cleaner on Amazon. It's great stuff.

 

Sprayway is all I use, great stuff, doesn't fog. I question that it will cut a ceramic coating, even the over the counter version.

 

Yeah, that what i'm wondering. I was surprised the windex didn't do much. I've used windex to remove bugs and tree sap, and it didn't even phase this turtle wax chit.
