    Prep isn't difficult unless you have used a polisher before.

    Check out Dr. Beasley's 1201

    Just wash and dry your car and then apply.

    Stick a fork in in it and call it DONE!

    Thanks! have you used this - one thing I like about sealants and wax is that the surface doesnt have to be SUPER good. It can have some contaminants on it and the sealants seems to still bond/last.

    I really couldn't tell you that answer as there are too many variables.

    And one of those major variables is how do you define durability?

    SiC is the latest consumer coating from CarPro and is a replacement for TiO2. The idea is that it holds up better to chemicals and water spots. I plan to use a coat of each, CQ UK 3.0 and SiC on my DD because this combo gives an incredibly slick surface. I’m hoping the slick surface will stay cleaner and be easier to clean/dry. I have a bottle of Blackfire Pro Ceramic (not Black Edition) that will go on my wife’s minivan. And my son’s car will get PBL Diamond Paint and Surface Coatings. Will be interesting to see how they each hold up.

    Yes, there definitely are Sealants that don’t
    stain black pebble plastics. One of my all-
    time favorites is Optimum Car Wax (OCW)

    And, considering its UVA/UVB protection; along
    with its proven month, after month, after month
    longevity; it is, in my honest opinion, well worth it!

    I would just coat it. What is your definition of spot on? There are a couple coating lite products that can cure in 4 hours.

    I agree.

    Like there is always a part in my kind that I didn't polish the paint correctly, I didn't prep wipe fully, I didn't apply enough coating... Yeah I'm that kinda of guy
