Almost perfect, really straightforward to use, only issue being the surface prep spray bottle coming with a bent tube, I ended up having to open constantly to readjust it, using it more, and now I have half of the ceramic coat left and no surface prep spray for later applications. Can you sell that spray separately?

I am pleased with Color N Drive with one exception. The spray bottle containing the reagent does not spray well and that makes the whole process more difficult and less uniform that it needs to be.

Was not easy to apply as indicated by the instructions.

I found the coating to have great hydrophobic Properties.....but when I tried to use optimums optiseal and gtechniqs G2V3 as a “quick detail spray” after washing, they both left a haze on the car. I prefer gtechniq crystal serum light because of that, but don’t have anything negative to say other than that. Shines, protects, and is very hydrophobic.

Product is fantastic! It does brings a sine to the car and very solid protection! A coupe of things to consider: 1) After applying the solution, there is no need to wait for 2 to 5min like the instruction says. You can immediately follow up with the next step of wiping with a moist microfiber cloth. Waiting as per the instruction is too long and the solution begins to cure. 2) The microfiber cloths provided in the kit are so-so. I'd recommend buying your own. 3) It was not clear to me if this solution could be used on exterior glass, plastics, and wheels, soI bought a separate solution that I know would work for those surfaces. Don't get me wrong product is great, just calling out somethings that could be better, With that I do recommend the product!

Just finished apply yesterday, so can’t speak to the durability of the product. The kit is great, comes with every thing you need to apply the ceramic coat. Easy to apply, Except the buffing stage. After the product flashes your suppose spread the coating with a damp microfibre towel provided which worked well, but when I went to buff it immediately after spreading with damp towel the 2nd towel would not slide nicely. The surface doesn’t seem to be smooth. It rained today and the water does bead nicely. For the price, overall good product. Only used 1/2 the bottle for a Tesla Model 3.

This is the second time buying this and I notice that it does not "beed" the water as well as the first time on my other car. I did the prep work and application the same but I notice the outcome is not the same.

Appena applicato avevo dei dubbi ma adesso mi soddisfa a pieno

After a wash, clay bar, and polish, I applied this to two of my vehicles - a 2014 Chevrolet Volt and a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban. It was barely enough, but given that the Suburban is a HUGE vehicle, this was not a surprise. After 2 months and a couple hand washes (just to remove dust / sediment as your car CAN still get dirty ... just not as easily ... and when it does, it's quite quick to clean), the coating is still extremely hydrophobic - more so than wax after just a few weeks. For those that claim this is no better than wax, perhaps they had preparation or application issues. That said, we'll see how the coating does over a Michigan winter, but considering how easy this was to apply and how it has held up so far, I'm pretty satisfied with it. So why only 4 stars? Well, as others have pointed out, the instructions are pretty bad - incomplete (i.e. very little information about recommended vehicle prep), lacking detail even in the application steps, and poorly translated. That said, the company has published a few YouTube videos that are certainly useful, and I'd recommend folks consult those.

Easy to apply. Don't have any information on longevity or durability yet - too soon to tell.

So I bought this for my wife's 20 year old maxima. Yes, it was looking tired. Don't believe any product that tells you you can do the short cuts. I washed it, clay barred it, machine polished it with a 7 inch buffer using 3M "finesse it", (super expensive product but very good marine polish). I then washed the car again then went over it with Isopropyl alcohol. I then applied the ceramic coating, and this was the easiest part of the weekend. The results are great. a good depth of gloss to the paint and good water beading after three months. the car looks amazing and not like a 20 year old paint job.The only reason i gave it 4 stars are in the details. the specs say you should have enough for 2 medium cars, and the actual coating will probably have enough to do my SL500 because its tiny. not an issue there, but the instructions say to spray the surface with their "special application spray (sorry, but its been a while since I did it and cant remember the correct name) prior to applying the ceramic to make the sponge glide better. I was very frugal with the spray, but still ran out 2 panels before the end. I filled it with water and finished the car, with no apparent detriment to the outcome. the other problem is they say to put 8 to 10 drops of product at a time on the sponge and it should do 2 sq. ft. Seems to be accurate but the problem is they do not include a dropper or hole in the bottle. I had to drill a hole in the top of the bottle before I could get anything out. I ended up with a very small hole (try drilling a hole in the plastic top) so did 15ish drops to achieve the results. I love the product but get annoyed when things are supplied not as described, or making it more difficult to use than it should be. The devil is in the details!!

I used on my pearl White (White Orchid) 2017 Accord. My car is 37months old and still showroom condition. No scratches or dents, garaged. I wash it at least once a week. It's meticulously maintained with MEGUIAR'S G18216 Ultimate Liquid Wax, and Meguiar's Xpress Spray Wax, so it's always shiny, so I was debating if I should apply ceramic coating, but did it any way. That being said, I knew it will require a lot of work to prep my car. I recommend start performing this process early morning and when weather is not very hot (below 80°F). This is what I did: - Washed my car (@ the drive thru car wash) - Soaped & Clayed - Washed and dried (@ the drive thru car wash) - Buffed it with dual action polisher with Meguiar's G17220 Ultimate Compound - Washed and dried (@ the drive thru car wash), then cancelled my monthly (unlimited) car wash service. - Sprayed the entire car with 25% isopropyl alcohol/75% distilled water - Inspected the enitre car for any possible "elements" missed and swirls marks. All is clear. - Applied the ceramic coating following the instructions/video tutorial. At this point, it is now 83degrees in my garage. - I did it by sections, starting with the entire front hood is done into four quadrants. Drops of the ceramic formula is done on the applicator for each quadrant. THEN WAITED 2MINUTES. Then wiped the ENTIRE HOOD WITH DUMP MICROFIBER SUPPLIED. - Don't let it TOO dry before you do the dump microfiber, OR YOU'LL BE IN TROUBLE. - AFTER I WAS DONE, I WAITED TWO HOURS, TOOK A REST. At this point of time, it is now 90°F in my garage - Then inspected everything to make sure that all is perfect. The ceramic is now very dry and I could now see the BIG DIFFERENCE. DEEP GLOSS & SHINY BUT WITHOUT THE SMOOTH FEEL YET. I believe it takes several hours to a day before you get the slick feel/touch. - After the two hour wait, using the Mothers 156501 Yellow Applicator Pad, I applied the Collinite 845 Insulator Wax over the ceramic coating on the entire car. Why not, I have a new bottle that I have not used yet. * I started at 8AM and finished at 7PM. Note that drive thru car wash is only minute away from my house that's why I did the washes at the car wash. * Right after the Collinite 845 Insulator Wax, the RESULT IS AMAZING! IT IS NOW HAS BOTH THE DEEP GLOSS FINISH & VERY SMOOTH TO TOUCH* Will it last? Who knows. Most common reviews regarding it's longevity, were NOT VERY GOOD. Upon application, a pre-treatment, which basically water(?) being diluted with, when the ceramic formula is applied. This is probably the reason why that this product's LONGEVITY suffers. That's why I'm only giving it 4stars. * I will now have to hand wash my car to prolong it's life, and will use the Meguiar's Xpress Spray Wax every AFTER washing the car. Note that the Meguiar's Xpress Spray Wax should be used only after the car has been dried, not when the car is still wet, for better results.

Very easy to apply. If anything i would strongly recommend 2-3 coats total
Alvaro Pena
Excelent. Enough for 2 aplications, not 4 as they say. Still very good.

Easy to follow instructions, easy to use product but not enough pre treatment for the quantity of enamel

The kit was pretty straightforward as far as application. I decided on splitting the time that you leave the ceramic coating on before you go over it with the wet towel to 3 minutes. I found it to work out very nicely, it left a super shinny clear gloss layer on my Accord. I only have one complaint and it may be that it was just the sprayer in my kit, but the Pre-treatment bottle kept acting like there was no liquid in the bottle and would not keep spraying a steady mist like it should have. I have to say that is is definitely worth the money which is not that much. When compared to the rear quarter panel on my car where I had not yet done the rear bumper part. You could definitely see the difference between the part of the quarter-panel that I had done against the bumper section that I hadn't. The treated side had a very super shiny clear, hard looking layer to it. Almost as if it had a new coat of clear and the un-treated part had no clear-coat on it at all. Since I live in Washington it will not be long before I can try it out in the rain and see how well it does at keeping the car clean.

After I opened the box (unsealed and opened) possibly due to customs? There was no coated sponge in the box. Not a big deal but I expected it.
