OP
After performing the multi process listed in the main post, this past weekend I applied Turtle Wax’s spray ceramic wax. It’s not a 100% ceramic application, it appliers to be a hybrid.
I was questionable about using a spray application and thought paste wax with elbow grease was the way to go. To my surprise, the spray ceramic Turtle Wax is considered easier to apply and performs much better.
1st application was yesterday around 3PM. S simple spray on, wait to haze, and the ln buff off. The surface was was very slick. I kept it in the garage overnight and throughout the next day. At 3:30, 24 hours after the first application (to let it cure), I applied the second application. Everything went according to plan. Adding another application seemed to increase the surface gloss and slickness. I’ll let it cure for 24-hours and then drive.
Turtle wax’s supply of ceramic was was very easy to apply and cost maybe ~$16 for an entire bottle.
Product information says it would last up to up to 6-months. I’m monitor by the “feel” test.
Hope this entire write-up is beneficial to several folks. It was all trial and error, thankfully all success. Expect to use some elbow grease
, the orbital buffer was a great time savior. Although not 100% needed. Lastly, used quality soft fiber cloth to apply and removed. They can be washed and “refreshed” with Chemical Brothers laundry detergent as well.
Enjoy!
