    What is the best ceramic/nano glass coating for a first timer?

    New to the forum so hello everyone.

    So my question is..What is the best ceramic/nano glass coating for a first timer?

    I am looking for something that is easy to apply (no messy steps or quirks) and lasts the longest and does not cost an arm and a leg.

    I've been looking at Opticoat, Quartz, Black Label and Gtechniq Crystal lacquer.

    Looking for something that is easy to apply without too many quirks (Idiotproof..for the lack of a better word) and stays on the longest with some minimum maintenance.

    My car is brand new (about 6 months old) so the paint is in great shape. Just before summer started I applied DG 601/105 and topped off with Megs Paste Wax (2 coats). I do regular quick d detailing every 2-3 weeks with Megs Ultimate QD and every other time I do the UQW as well. Also just bought Optimum Car Wax and QD concentrate along with the rinse less wash.

    I want something I can put on and not worry for a couple of years except some maintenance spray like Reload or C2V3 every few months and then waterless washes or rirnseless washes every 2-3 weeks.

    Want something that can stand extreme summer heat of AZ as well the dusty as hell air I can wipe off using a car duster. Rain or Snow or Salt are all of least concern. Heat and Dust are the primary consideration.

    Your suggestions very welcome.

    The easiest to use and best choice for a first time coating user? McKee's 37 paint coating.

    I picked McKee's 37 paint coating as my first coating ever and currently coating my car section by section after work LOLL

    Its easy to apply, super slick , cheap, and also it has the longest shelf life than any other coatings I've looked at.

    Sucks that this is a detail forum, yet we can only discuss publicly stuff AG sells. I guess I understand but still sucks imo. It's something I still find tough to get use too.

    I don't see an issue with discussing competitors products. I guess AG does.

    The easiest fool proof to use for a first timer is sold over at AG's sister company Autopia. Polish Angel. Applies like a wax, removes like a wax. No timeframe, or high spot stresses.

    I would suggest Gloss Coat and would double coat it. That will get you sick gloss and fantastic protection.

    Just generally when you ask a question like that, you can expect a silly array of answers. It's like asking "I'm looking for my first girlfriend...should I choose a blond, brunette or red head?" Just sayin...
