Ceramic Spray
I've a question for the pros (and I am NOT one).
I have a black AMG GT just purchased used (2017) Car suffered from a lot of car washes. I have the paint cleaned up pretty well
Washed with Dawn
Clay bared
polished with 3 3M products - professional rubbing compound, then polishing, then ultrafine polish
then a hand applied Zymol.
I have been reading a lot about the ceramic spray products. I realize they're not very permanent. I want to consider using one of them as a detailer.
I see products like Nexgen, Carpros, Adams, etc.
So, TWO Qs:
1. Can I use one of these products on top of the Zymol?
2. Recommendation on one of these spray products?
Thanks!

Yeah late to the party but oh well too lazy to start a new thread
I just used GRIOTS CEramic coating in spray bottle.
Super easy to use... use it like a Quick detailer.
Spray,wipe, flip towel and Buff.
Now I have boring white but it does shine a tiny bit more but it has been a year since I applied anything.
But you can use this stuff on everything. trim, glass, metal, wheels etc.
I have read where some say they get a haze but they tend to have darker colors.
Still in garage but I like the stuff.
NOw per bottle and website it kinda of wants you to treat this stuff like a last step in your process and does not require super clean strip paint to apply.
I think on website they talk about paint prep first kinda like you did.
I am waiting for the water droplets soon though cause that means she gets dirty again

Still clean since applied.
Driven maybe 3 times since then, after it rained and almost dry out so when car was back in garage and next day I could easily wipe here down with MicroFiber towel and GRiots Quick detailer.
Looks like the day I detailed it...
Easier to Quick detail too...
I dunno seems like less bug deaths on grill? but how does one measure that...
OVer all I am happy and will look into the Ceramic Quick detailer.
All I know is these products are getting way easier then the experiences I had with say ZAINO synthetics that came in 2 parts... ZFX.
My arm thanks me!
Good Luck and as someone told me years ago... find a product you like and just clean you car...and apply which is way better then doing nothing.
