Perfect Ceramic Coating
So my initial coating was incomplete as part of the top layer was done w an old formula so they say, but destroyed the car in the process

I've used Migliore Strata Coating before, but have heard good things about GTechniq Crystal Serum. Where did you end up buying it?

Coatings like rinseless for the maintenance wash, most installers will tell you that. Learn to do a rinseless right ,it's far easier on the paint and the coating. See the link in my sig for a good way to do it.

Is this something that can be done by hand?

There are many different coatings, many of which are DIY. As far as by hand yes, but the paint should be decon'd, clayed, corrected with a polisher, prepped for the coating either by using a polish that acts as a pimer, or a special wipe down to make sure the paint is surgically clean before application.
Once clean, tapped off if desired, apply strictly following instructions. Polish Angel makes a coating that is the easiest. Applies a wax, long cure time and removal like a wax. Totally foolproof. Complete kits http://www.autopia-carcare.com/polis...l#.WKnI38uIaBY http://www.autopia-carcare.com/polis...l#.WKnJMcuIaBY The other easiest option is Kamikaze Infinity wax. I have this topping Kamikaze Miyabi coating. It can be used by itself. Application is the same a a wax. http://www.esotericcarcare.com/kamikaze-infinity-wax/ From there the other manufacturers products vary in difficulty, mainly in the timing of product leveling. As long as the directions are followed there should be no issues. If issues such as high spots arise, there are products to address that as well without stripping offf the panel to recoat. |

There are many that can be done by hand. But it's not for somebody that has never used an orbital. You need to learn paint correction first. Once that's accomplished, applying a coating is easy.
