Don't know how long it will last but the ease of use over wax makes me a fan.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The prep and paint correction is more important than the final coating. And the retail products are usually a watered down version sold only to the pros. There are some very good threads in our dedicated Concours Forum.
I've had 5 cars coated now. All with Optimum Opti-Coat Pro+. Been very happy with the results and how it holds up.
Paint correction is more expensive than the coating for sure. Brand new cars I have had done were about $1500. When I had my 996 C2 in midnight blue done it had over 10 hours of paint prep necessary before coating, cost me $3000. Results were incredible.
I tested out a new product from meguires this weekend on my son's Boxster before use on my cars. It's a hybrid ceramic wax and super easy to put on and after the first time it literally takes 3 minutes to apply. Don't know how long it will last but the ease of use over wax makes me a fan. I am sure it is no match for the pure ceramic coatings but the beading with this product is insane.
Kamikaze Collection coatings are the easiest coatings available, while also delivering professional results. At Esoteric, we use Kamikaze coatings every day on the numerous exotic and hypercars we work on, so you can rest assured that they will deliver excellent results on your own personal cars.

I did an application of CQuartz to my 996 about a year ago. I did a full prep, taped off trim, compounded, polished, clay bar, then body shop solvent wiptedown. Allowed full day to cure. I was impressed with the initial results, but did hold up as long as I had expected.
There is a very good YouTube video series that has the best comparison of coating products I've seen presented in a scientific way - 34 coatings applied to a hood left in the sun in Texas with periodic washings and updates to show performance. Here is the most recent update at the one year mark for 34 different coatings:

I�ve done both CeramicPro and G-Technic on my cars. Frankly the results were good with both but I completely agree that prep, correction and application skill makes the difference. I became friends with the local installer here in NJ and watching the amount of work he puts in to doing a vehicle shows where the money goes.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
