Anyone Ceramic Coat Their Own Car?

I’ve ceramic coated two of my past cars. The process itself is super easy. The key is everything before applying the coating.
I recommend a full wash, clay bar-ing the car to lift all contaminants off the paint, compound and polish, and then applying he ceramic coasting last. This will ensure the paint is as perfect as possible both in terms of smoothing out any scratches and ensuring maximum color depth, gloss and shine. When I did this to my F Type is took me two 7-8 hour days but it was totally worth it.

Just noticed you linked a coating for matte paint so there is no polishing required. Just a thorough wash and perhaps a spray on iron decontamination followed by panel prep spray and you should ready for coating.

Yeah, I thought the prep would be different because of the matte paint. I can’t really do any real correcting, but I will prep it best I can. I also purchased Car Pro’s Mad Matte spray sealant as a maintenance detailer.

Works well even if you are not that detail oriented. Clean car, apply ceramic coat (there are a number of similar products), and repeat every few months to maintain extraordinary shine and protection.
