    Mike, There are so many brands to choose and no review to prove it.

    I decided to pick one from Autogeek.net but even that is difficult for me since they are all look the same to me.
    From your personal experience which one that you like the most?
    I kinda like BlackFire or Sonax

    Re: Which Ceramic Coating?

    GYEON and CarPro are my two favorites and I use them regularly. CanCoat for a quick and easy super hydrophobic glossy as heck look. Cquartz UK 3.0 for traditional coating but also very easy to use. Opinions will vary.

    There's are tons of reviews and comments on here, use the search button. One can't go wrong with CQuartz or Gyeon, both are proven to last and perform if the proper preparation is done

    In reality one can not go wrong with any of the coatings sold through Autogeek.

    Sonax is good but expect to get exactly 1 year out of it. So if longevity is not of concern then it is a good option. Just be aware that if you have a larger vehicle you will need an additional kit. That is the downside with Sonax. This does perform better than Optimum Gloss Coat.

    If you are looking for a 1 year option the consider the combo of Gyeon Primer Polish topped with Gyeon CanCoat and maintain with something like Cure. Great combo right here.

    CarPro just realized their newest product in CQuartz Lite. Same concept with using Essence topped with CQ Lite and maintained with a Reload type product. I have a review on CQ Lite which you can find on here.

    These are good options if you are not ready to move up to a full blown coating.

    I have not used the Blackfire coating but from what I have seen it’s pretty user friendly.

    I would recommend CarPro Cquartz UK 3.0 topped with Gliss V2. Good combo and overall performance. I have a thread in this as well.

    I would skip Gyeon Syncro. I have a write up on this as well and it was a bit of a dud in the long term. Not worth the price based on my experience.

    I have GTechniq Crystal Serum Light + Exo V3 on my other car and it is pretty good. I still prefer the performance of Cquartz UK 3.0 topped or untopped with Gliss.

    You are safe buying any coating here on AG. Personally I like the CarPro line of coatings, never had any problems with them.

    Is 1 bottle of Cquartz 3.0 enough for one car? Do I need to buy cleaner to prep the surface?
    How do you maintain the car throughout the year?

    Thank you

    I most cases yes one 30ml bottle can get you two coats easily with a little left over.

    You can use IPA after polishing if you don’t want to invest in Eraser. Some of the more oily polished may require two wipe downs.

    As far as maintaining you can use Reset on a monthly basis for that deep clean. The other times you can use a wash like Hyper Wash.

    You then have the option to use Reload or Elixir. I would say get yourself Elixir as it leaves some protection behind but is easier to use. You can use Reload every month for a little more protection if you like.

    Ech2o is nice to have as a waterless wash, rinseless wash and drying aid.

    I almost forgot that it is recommended to do a decon wash every few months.
