My personal level of detailing experience is novice.
Used on my black Camaro under the wrong conditions (applying in direct sunlight) and ended up with water spots. Other than MY errors, it seems pretty good. Application itself is pretty easy and I had no problems working out any cloudy areas by hitting again with the damp cloth then back to dry. |

Works great on the white camaro... Couldn't keep the water spots off the black camaro every time it got wet.. Ended up taking it off and using a different wax for that one...

Love the hybrid ceramic spray. Maybe too much because it looked awesome on my black SS after 1 coat. I left it in the garage for a few days then gave it a 2nd coat, looked even better I thought. Then over a week I gave it 3 more coats. Looked absolutely great. That was at the beginning of last summer. By August all of a sudden I noticed it started to look cloudy. It is not like the old products like carnuba wax or my old favorite Klass sealer where you can just keep layering it on and it just gets better and better. I had to remove it all and start over. I gave it 2 coats and left it. No problems, still looks excellent today. I also put 2 coats last September on my daily driver that is never garaged and driven through snow, salt, and dirt. Still looks great and beads like crazy but I only washed it a few times over the winter. It is a 10 year old Santa Fe and looks shinier and newer than the 2 and 3 year old cars around it

It's a good product that works. Follow the directions. Do not over apply. Only 1-2 sprays per panel.

I started using this product last summer (before I got my Camaro) and did a test where I applied this to my wife's white Nissan Murano and my daughters grey Hyundai Sonata. My other two vehicles at that time a red Traverse and silver Equinox I did with a more traditional buff-on polish, also from Megs.
The Hybrid Ceramic spray on was much quicker/simpler to apply, bead water better, and gave more shine/reflection. In fact, today, as I was backing out of the driveway to head to work, I glanced at my daughters car and frankly was pretty impressed by the shine/reflection that still remains 6-8 months after I applied it. Her car sits outside year-round and given the late MN spring, probably has not been washed since that application. Haven't decided what to do to my Camaro long-term yet. The dealer applied Cilajet, which looks nice for the time being, but I highly doubt it will last the 7+ years they said it will... Brian from Apex Detailing posted a YT video about this product recently that looked promising. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...0?ie=UTF8&th=1

Easy, not lasting
I put this on my wife's MDX. It doesnt last near as long as it claims. Especially on any side panels.
See Scott HD youtube. His test are very objective. Backs up my experience with this product. I have since moved on to Griots 3 in 1. Cheap and long lasting. Easy to apply. These are my three criteria. |

Just put the foundation coat on. Pan the Organizer on YouTube encouraged putting this coat on the car while it was dry. Required some buffing but overall, pretty simple process. Interested to see how the water beads the next time I wash it. Next wash I'll put on the coat that get's sprayed off.

Project Farm is pretty solid, too.

Gyeon wet coat on top of Griot's 3 in 1> Meguires. I tried the Meguires on nightfall Grey, vivid orange metallic and my 97 tacoma and on all three the finish was inconsistent and smeary.

I didn't care for this stuff personally. The turtle wax ceramic spray I felt was a better consumer product, easier to use and you can do it after every single wash. Paste/ waxes that you don't spray will almost always last longer as there not as heavily diluted to be sprayable. Any of meguairs paste waxes/sealants will be better
