Ahhh, thanks.
I did put some Meguiar's ceramic wax yesterday on my Mazda cx-5. Let's see how long it lasts. There's a $5 rebate from Meguiar's. Advance auto has it for $12 after 25% coupon.

If you haven't already figured it out, I am also a complete newbie to ceramic coating. This will be my first time trying it. Anyone know a good guide to follow? I don't want to mess anything up especially since I've been told that ceramic coating is kind of permanent.

Ceramic coatings are semi-permanent. They generally last a couple years. If you want an easy to apply coating, optimum gloss coat is very easy to use, as it self levels.

Paint protection film lasts from 5-10 years.

Whenever your applying multiple layers of protection, you always put the most durable on first.

The most important thing will be how you do your maintenance washing on the car after you put the coating on. Do it right, and your car will stay looking great for a long time, do it wrong, and you'll end up with swirled and scratched paint, or in the coating.

Here are few video's for you.
