I recently purchased a new 2020 Toyota Camry TRD in black . I did a majority of the prep work, wash, clay, and then had a professional do the paint correction (it was actually 6 months old, and the prior owner let it get light scratching) It is now is very good shape. I have thought allot about doing the ceramic coating , but there are so many great brands and products to choose from.

I would like something that is user friendly, can can give at least 1-2 years of performance. I take car of my cars, so don't see that being a problem as I will do maint. washes, and keep the top coat updated as needed.

Would appreciate some recommendations on a coating to bring the gloss and shine out of a black finish.

thank you

Polish with CarPro Essence then Apply Cquartz UK v2. Easy as can be.

The shine will come from the steps prior to coating. If you don’t think it’s shiny enough now, you’ll need a fine polish to amp up the gloss first. If you’re not comfortable with a full coating, you can polish with Gyeon Primer and apply CanCoat, or polish with CarPro Essence and coat with CQuartz Lite. Both of those coatings are easy to apply and should give you a year or so of protection.

UK 3.0, as suggested above, is pretty easy to apply. Just need to be sure you have good lighting to avoid leaving high spots behind.

What about 3.0 instead of v2?
