I applied Hydro2 Lite silica back in November. My car was purchased new in Aug so the paint is pristine. I'm guessing I can just clay, apply prep spray and then apply the ceramic coat?

I am not familiar with the hydro however I don't see why you couldn't do those steps.
Thanks!

If you are talking about a wrap or film the answer is yes.

So I did your actual ceramic coating kit, does this spray ...or can this spray replace the ceramic boost you recommend using on coated cars?

Hey Adams person,

What you could do is give us a specific recommendation for our cars to do paint correction. Show us a picture of defects and then recommend the products to bring it to "perfection". What is stage 3, 2, 1 and what products and pads to use.

I have an orange crush color which is already ceramic coated but I could never get some of the micro scratches out of it. If I look at it in direct sunlight or using a LED flashlight I can still see them. Can I get them out using your compounds and what pads do you recommend?

Another example is where somebody takes their car to the car wash every 2 weeks which of course is just full of small scratches and swirls and maybe that is a stage 3 correction so which way do we go???

Each clear coat is different and will take a different pads & polish.

The worst case would take our MF pad & Heavy Correcting Compound followed by Orange Pad & Correcting polish followed by White pad & Finishing polish.

We always recommend doing a 2x2 test spot say on your hood so you will know exactly what it's going to take to make your paint perfect.

A good rule of thumb is if your finger nail catches in a scratch it won't come out.
Hope this helps!
Here is a good before & after.....
I used Orange pad & Correcting Polish.
