No offense, but ceramic coatings aren't really designed to be applied by a novice as you say that you are. I would start off with a polymer coating like a Blackfire Crystal Sealant for someone like your self. Much easier and less chance of issues arising, and if something does arise, much easier to address and correct. I have been detailing for 20 years, seriously detailing for 5 years +, and I have no desire to use ceramic coatings on my vehicles, too much of a PITA, especially with me being OCD about everything...not to mention I have very high quality towels, D/A Polisher, tools, and materials, I still have no interest in it.
