    Budget and I recommended Gyeon CanCoat in your other thread. It is a nice product for someone getting into coatings. I also recommended using Gyeon Primer Polish.

    New 2018 Orange Fury Metallic Mustang, best product for a deep gloss

    Check out what Jeff from Gyeon posted about CanCoat and Primer Polish

    CanCoat would be a great choice. Also Optimum Gloss Coat is ridiculously easy to apply and would be a good choice for first time coating.

    There are many you can use, the new McKee's 37 paint coating is another good option.

    When do you want to coat it / to have it coated? What climate do you live in? How much are you using this car (daily driver / weekend only)? Do you want to do this DIY or will you have it done for you? Do you have a garage? Do you have a machine polisher and experience with polishing/detailing?

    Btw there's no such thing as "best coating". For one, because they all perform similarly, at least at the same price level. Two, because it all depends on why you need/want the coating, and what your personal preferences are.

    Re: What ceramic coatings do you recommend? First time trying it?

    McKees 37 paint coating seems to be a great choice for us first timers. I went with a product sold at the sister site of AGO Polish Angel esclate lotion primer and Master Sealant. I like the thought of applying a primer to coatings for the added longevity and the glossenhancer and also for the no need to use a ipa kind of product before applying the coating. Have seen someone here use carpro essence primer and McKees coating which could be an option. The Master Sealant is a coating despite the name of it. It has sio2 and tio2 which often gets a higher gloss. But the tio2 is also not as hard as sio2 and decrease the longevity some. The MS is not a high content of of these and get you around a year of longevity. But the other 2 PA coatings cosmic v2 and Viking Coat is a 18-24 months longevity. Then theirs toppers is really awesome. So for the looks I would look at PA coatings. The Gyeon Syncro kit is an intresting option also and with Gyeon Primer as a primer it's looking great. They say that it's for the more experienced but the reviews here seems it to be a rather straight forward coating to apply. The top coating Skin in the Syncro kit seems to be a home run of slickness and sheeting water. The Gyeon Primer and Gyeon CanCoat combo for it's easy to use is also intresting.

    Did this help you lol Sorry but there is so many different coating option that seems to be a great choice. So it's just to chose one that you believe in and read up on the instructions and read into what the prep work takes to do. One thing that is not mentioned is you need more wipe of the excess mf towels than comes with the kits.

    Good luck and what ever coating you decide to go with and you do a thorough finish polish and prep. The outcome is worth it and will be awesome looking and the maintance easy with the right products. It's a little different from the standard sealant and wax.

    I like the spray on coatings like
    GTechniq C2v3 Liquid Crystal
    Much easier to apply- use them every quarter, or every dozen or so washings- still keeps me involved in the upkeep of my vehicle.
    Still have not come across anything (yet) as shiny or esp. as hydrophobic as PA high gloss
