    After reading some reviews about ceramic sprays I decided to go with this one. Damn I’m impressed for how easy it went on and off. 16oz bottle and only used about 30% and that was 2 coats.

    it’s incredibly slick and the depth in the paint is was more noticeable in person. IMG_7263.jpg

    Only thing about sprays, is they won’t last as long. Maybe a rainstorm or two.

    LED headlamps/fogs; interior footlamps.
    4.5 stars on Amazon on over 2000 reviews (which statistically is very accurate) is pretty good - says 6 mos coverage. Now there is a marine - recharge - offroad - which did you use?

    just the ceramic recharge. I’m not expecting 6 months, maybe half that. I also grabbed the quick detail spray for a quick spray after washes.

    It was a good read. Always interested in tests for sure and I know full well the 6 month claim wouldn’t hold up. However, the ease of use and how little amount of product that’s used when applying is what sold me. Going on a little over a week and it still looks great even after several heavy showers. The waterless ceramic spray is great for a quick touch up.

    also, that guys tests are hard for me to compare to because I’m in FL. We don’t deal with snow, salted roads etc. plus he said he did the test in November. I’m convinced cars up north only stay clean if they stay in a garage for 5 months only to come out in the summer haha.

    Keep us posted as to your results. Try and let it go a month or two without any touch up/topper....just to see how it does on its own. Most of the spray on products will give you 1-3 months of protection as a standalone.
