Ceramic Coated the Wife's car

This is my wife's 2018 SS Vert. QTechnique Ceramic topped with McKees 37 High Def Paint Sealant. Got reflections in the white now. The shine is amazing in person.

I love the look of your car. Great job!

Hey, where did you get the white side markers from? I think they really look cool.

Never heard of someone putting a sealant on top of ceramic, why did you do it?

Why not use something designed as a ceramic boost?

Most commonly done to prevent water spots on ceramics that are not natively hydrophobic (not all ceramic coatings are).

Many of the modern spray-n-wipe sealants are the same thing. Carpro Reload = sealant = ceramic booster.

This one was originally coated with 20 miles on it so it had no swirls or scratches. But I use meguiars microfiber correction compound with a Torq buffer with orange pad on speeds 5-6 to cut the swirls on other cars i have done. Works great. Then wipe down with rubbing alcohol prior to ceramic coating. Thats the short version.

Plus a good detailer buddy of mine does this same thing. It works.

The Adams ceramic boost is a sealant so he is basically doing the same thing with the McKee’s product. Carpro reload is another similar product
