    I have actually been using Cerakote ceramic wipes for some time now to restore trim...I was able to restore the trim on my 20 year old SUV and it looks amazing...Cerakote makes amazing products, and they are very reasonably priced..you will not be disappointed if you purchase these products...

    The headlight restoration was a lot of work and in my opinion the fading will just return shortly. I get amazing results with just my cutting pad followed by some polish and sealant. Either way keep up the great work.

    Going by how much spray you use for that coating i'm guessing the bottle only last maybe 2/3 cars, I think it's all the same.

    I used that cerakote headlight restoration on my headlights about 8 months ago. It turned out terrible!! My headlights were just starting to show their age. I followed their directions to the T and it turned out VERY streaky. Looked like I painted on a polyurethane with a cheap brush, it's so bad. Plus, that layer of cerakote is already coming off and yellowing. Lights looks worse then it did before I used it. I'll just take mine to a professional shop and have them restored properly. I've also tried the plastic restoration stuff and I have mixed feelings on that one. Some plastics look good while others appear super blotchy. Yes, i followed those direction fully. AND DO NOT GET IT ON ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT IT ON. Because it WILL not come off if you do. So far I'm throughly unimpressed with their products. I live in southern Arizona, so I need to be on top of my car care given how brutal the sun and heat is out here during the summer. I'll stick with Meguires and Chemical Guys, they work wonderfully.

    A lot of the products I’ve ordered over the years I just can’t tell any significant difference in gloss level and/or protection as a lot of them claim to offer. It’s been disappointing. Still hoping to find a product that actually delivers.

    What do you do when you use a ceramic coating with a microfiber towel. I've seen where most professional throw them away. This is the reason I won't ceramic coatings. I use a polymer coating this way you wash the microfiber towels. I can't afford to throw away microfiber towels. Things are going up in price. The microfiber towels I use have gone up because of inflation.
