I've done cars in the past but I have also compounded and polished... My daughter has a virtually new Kia Seltos that I am planning to wash, clay, IPA wipe and then use Adam's Graphene Coating on... I want the car to have protection without having to wax every 4 months... It certainly isn't going to be a show car so don't want to go overboard but am looking more for protection... Will a good wash, clay, IPA wipedown and Graphene coating do the trick (with a Graphine Boost at the end)?

I washed and blow dried the car. Then clayed a section dried the clay lube, put a surface prep on wipe off then the ceramic coating. It took about three days to complete. And what you say you want done should do the trick. I used McKees products as they are easy on/off. Hint, lots of microfiber towels! GL!
Cheers

I’ve done this method on a few vehicles. When I did my parents Highlander it needed some correction so I also polished a few sections to remove some scratches/swirls before applying the graphene coating. I would personally inspect the paint after claying to determine if polishing is required. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

My car was delivered in June and when not driving it has a factory cover. So, the paint was in great shape. Also, the clay, prep, and Si02 ceramic from Mkees37 was to easy.
Cheers

Well... does last night count?
While installing my K40 System, and after seeing someone else do this, I decided to wrap my RF air damn with golf heat reflective film... I found a large enough 24" x 36" roll, that fit perfect, no seams, once I stripped all the brackets... I think it turned out nice. I also sealed a few large gaps with 1" strip foam... every little bit counts I suppose

It has been nothing but rain and 50's here for the last 2 weeks, bad combo for high HP car with summer tires. Last year was better I got to the 2nd week in November. I did good this year almost 4k miles.
