Took five hours to polish off.

Don't think ceramics are the magic product, yes they work well, but something like crystal seal works well, I use it as I don't like permanent. Don't chase the single magic product, there are 20 ways these days to get to the land of "glasslike gloss" and durability.

The other problem is people don't simply do the research and do it the way video tells you to do it. I have so many instances where I tell somebody how to do something when they ask, then they come back and add their own half baked knowledge to it , and screw it up because they don't want to follow directions.
100% agree! Whatever anyone chooses to use, follow Glen advice, watch some videos, and take your time. Once you get the application and procedures down, it all comes together.

It really is a great product! $30 and the bottle goes so far, so many cars/applications can be done with it.
