I'm in a few detailing groups and it's gotten a lot of good reviews.What about
Adam's UV Graphene Ceramic Coating?
Anybody familiar with this? Youtube video makes it look fairly easy, and a DIY kit too.

Not true. I have owned a ton of vehicles and I didn’t put PPF or ceramic on any of them.There have been 1000 threads on this and 400,000 posts. If you’ve really read up, do you truly expect to get new, earth shattering info? If you want your car to look new in 10 years and withstand door dings and rock chips, PPF. If you want it to look freshly waxed for 3 years without waxing quarterly, ceramic. If you want both, ceramic over PPF. If you want your car to look like a POS in 3 years or less… do nothing.
Your site says it’s $29? Do you offer a sample bottle still?How about $15.95 Ceramic Coating (LINK)?
1 layer lasts up to 6 months or more. It requires only 2 sprays per panel, except large surfaces like a hood requiring 4 sprays. With that this small bottle will do the whole car.
We developed this in-house with DIY users in mind without sacrificing the professional results.
Whether getting PPF, ceramic coating or both is a personal choice. But having your car ceramic coated repels dirts and grime to make it a lot easier to wash and maintain. It also gives you that shine or matte look, depending on what you have.
Ceramic coating doesn't have to be expensive, and it's easy to apply. DM is if you have any specific questions, and we'd love to help.
Sorry that price was for the sample which we don't have for sale anymore.Your site says it’s $29? Do you offer a sample bottle still?
Just an update on this. I started the the process and finished cutting and polishing. I had a couple trouble areas on a brand new car. There was a smudge which looked like a print deep into the clear coat on the edge of driver side passenger door. Thanks to whomever touched the door before the clear baked fully. And then best of all I found that the left side of the rear bumper cover had a really poor clear coat, it was rough to the touch, wth again! It took me an extra hour just to cut and polish those two issues. The car is a couple weeks old with only 170 miles on it, so brand new car with less than perfect paint. That said waiting on the ceramic coat to get here and I'll probably go over the paint a last time before doing the deed.I just did the xpel pf but this thread is giving me the courage to try the ceramic coating at home,
The Chemical Guys make a good product.My MY is a month old and I am new to 'properly' washing and protecting a car finish (even though this is my 7th car!). I didn't buy a PPF or a ceramic coating.
I'd like to apply something like Optimum Gloss-Coat before winter (October timeframe), but as a 'beginner' I wonder if I should work up to that by using an easier wax a couple of times before then, eg. after the 2,000 mile road trip that I'm doing next week.
Does this make sense? What product do you recommend for someone getting their feet wet (btw, my 'new' cleaning regimen is now Optimum No Rinse and a good microfiber sham and two-bucket method. I plan to do a clay bar in the October timeframe.)
I'm leaning on doing nothing. If I choose to keep the vehicle long term, I will get it wrapped in a really nice color in a few years. To be honest, the current Tesla color palette is not inspiring, and you are basically PPF protecting a mediocre paint job.
I used WET and was very satisfied. It went on top of my Dynosheild PPF (front) and on the remainder of the car and produced a beautiful WET shine.What is the best Chemical Guy product to maintain an already ceramic coated car?
