I do not use any wax or sealants any longer, I only use Gyeon Ceramic coatings but it’s all about the paint prep. (Compounding, polishing and finish polishing)

Also wax only last weeks to a month at best as it is very thin layer of protection. Sealants only last 4-6 months tops but ceramic coating last a year easy and some 1-5 years with proper care and maintenance.

I use Sonex perfect finish and sometimes HD Polish+ from time to time if paint defects are not that bad and I use the on a Rupes DA . I would say that combo works for 99% of the cars I do. I can remove swirl marks, some scratches most problems with combo.

If they are really bad I use my Mikita rotary with a wool pad and use Meguiars 105 or 205 to remove the defect in the paint. I have even had to wet sand some scratches and defects before but that is rare now a days. Most times I only have to wet sand when I am doing deep scratch repairs or paint chip touch ups.

Once the paint is perfect then and only then do I wipe it lol down with Gyeon Prep to remove lol wax, compound and oils left behind. You can not coat a car with those things on it.

I use the best products from years of do and testing, not web comments and suggestions but actual use with the product on my own car and customers cars.

 

Thanks Teddy.

 

It’s hard to ceramic coat a car at the Dragon because I need the car to sleep inside without the risk of it getting wet overnight while it’s curing. This is also why all ceramic coatings say not to wash the car until at least a week.

When I do cars at home in my garage the car spends the night or some people leave a car for several nights in my garage under several sets of strong T5 HO 6500k lights. This helps to bake / cure the coating in the first few hours after I am done coating it. I leave the lights on overnight and the garage gets very warm and the humidity is very low. This is the perfect environment for curing a ceramic coating.
