Beautiful results! Does it come in a kit? How many hours did it take?

Took me a day and a half
First let it soak with spray nine
Then washed with chemical guys clean slate.
Clay bar then washed again.
Polished with vss scratch and swirl remover then washed with 2 parts distilled water one part vinegar .next morning did two coats hydro charge two hour dry time in between.
Tried their ceramic wax last year and it worked well my commute is mostly highway lots of bugs but wipe off easy vs wax. My only complaint is its so shiny it hides the metallic in the paint. From what i have read about ceramic coating this is nice and easy i may try a professional one at some point but need a dust free area with good lighting.

Great results! I reapply ceramic every April and October. Soooooo much less work than wax. If you don’t have time to do all the steps William Shaw did, still better to have it on the car than nothing. I typically do Mcguires hand detailer and then hit it with the ceramic.

Thanks William. I’m going DIY it when the pollen and rain go away!
