Well I got the "b" part right.

Did some thinking about this car and have decided to NOT use a ceramic coating on it. This is a high-end streetrod. While it's a Garage Queen, it doesn't need 9H and 10 year protection.

What it needs is an approach that will enable the owner to work on it into the future. With true ceramic coating, it gets complicated for the average person to fix future defects due to the longer, more complicated process.

With a one-step cleaner/wax and a topper - all the complications are removed.

Genius

After I'm done, if needed - the owner can fix future scratches, swirls, etc. with a simple Porter Cable 7424XP and the same product I use.
