Anyone try it yet? Si02 and Ti02. $15 at Pep Boys near me.

This guy seems to think it is pretty good: https://youtu.be/bRiHwSwlSns

Yes I tried it mid spring. At the beginning of spring I used Mequiars Hybrid Ceramic wax. It lasted about a month. The CMX was applied next and it lasted about a month. I might have put it on too thick because when polishing it off it looked like 0.01” styrofoam balls flying around all over the place. It was a mess but probably my fault because of application. Last application was Chemical Guys Butter. That seems to have done a good job too.

I’ll add that between hand washes I’d run through a touch-less car wash and stopped doing that because I believe it was causing these products to not last as long as expected.

I have tried CMX and Meguiars, I hand wash, 2 bucket, and rinse-less, and none of it lasts. I can get several months out of Adams Spray Ceramic...Heading to The Jax Wax car show in a couple weeks and I'm hoping they have a NEW topper. Right now I am just using beadmaker as a detail spray and for the shine...it is just so easy to use and get off without streaks, etc.

Ok, so you find Adams spray ceramic to be good. How is it in terms of shine?

Any others you find to be durable that provide a high gloss?

My car is a DD...and every Monday, some Thursdays, Every Friday and Saturday, and some Sundays it is at a car show or cruise-in.
It is Ceramic coated and has PPF installed.
Unless it rains or the brakes start squeaking, it gets a rinseless with plenty of microfibers, then a detailer/topper.
To most The Adams is cost prohibitive, I put 2 coats on 3 cars for 50 bucks, and they shine beautifully...and it is so easy to use and for me it doesn't streak.
I've watered down the Meguiars, to see if it made a difference, and it still streaks on dark colors...I'm trying to stay away from the BIG NAMES since I clean my car so much.
That's why I hope Jax Wax has a Surprise coming soon...I get a nice discount from them!lol
