I did some paint correction, polishing then followed up with a nice wash and wax....that reflection. Not quite like the ceramic coat on my RC-F (in relfection) but pretty close! Not bad for 10 year old paint!
Nice! I think I may in due time, I am wanting to add a front and rear lip and repaint the front bumper (from rock chips)......after that I will do the ceramic coat.....I used Adam's Polishes 9H on my RCF, but I may use a different brand next time around. What brand did you use??
I've been in the detailing hobby for about 10 years now; ever since I bought the TL.
I have in the past used Adam's products because the products are cheap and seem to be a bit better than chemical guys.
This time around; I chose to use an established name; JESCAR. only because there was a combo deal...Correcting polish, finishing polish and a sealant. Which, I needed because what little adam's product I had left became soupy from leaving the bottles in the garage. also, I think the product degrades over time, especially with heat from the garage.
i buy from detailers domain, and I've always wanted to buy a ceramic coating. this fairly new French company called FICTECH offers a ceramic coating that I chose to experiment with. First time ever using a ceramic coating.
when researching Fictech, it seems like they are in the business of chemistry. Which to me; they are not outsourcing their chemist or product. making it in house.
Cant say that about chemical guys or adams, as they both source their product from someone else.
to me; there is no best product, just trial and error to find a product you like.
on each car I took about 12-15 hours washing, correcting, and applying the ceramic coat.

I paid about $60-70 for the Fictech ceramic bottle! sounds about inline of what I'm willing to pay!
only if the ceramic coatings didnt last so long...lol
perhaps if I get better at applying it; I can sell my service...justifying the cost of trying new product. LOL
