Cerakote® Professional Ceramic Paint Coating – High-Gloss Professional-Grade Paint Protection Kit, Ultra-Hydrophobic, UV & Chemical Resistant, 5-Year Ceramic Paint Coating, (2) 30ml Bottles

Fantastic beginner-friendly ceramic coating – Cerakote delivers great results at a fair price I’ve been using Cerakote products for a while now, and they have yet to disappoint. The quality is consistently excellent, and the pricing is very fair compared to other options. A little goes a long way — just two small bottles were more than enough to coat my small SUV. What I love most is how forgiving and easy it is to apply, especially for beginners. Ceramic coatings can be tricky (wrong paint correction, leaving it on too long or too short, etc.), but Cerakote makes the process much more straightforward. You simply watch for the “beads of sweat” to appear, and you know exactly when it’s time to buff it off. No guesswork! The results are impressive: the paint looks like glass, everything from dust to bugs wipes off easily, and the extreme hydrophobicity is obvious every time it rains. Water just beads up and rolls away. Overall, this is a very good, clean product that delivers professional-looking results without the stress. Excellent value — highly recommended!

This is my second time coating a vehicle with Cerakote Ceramic coating but my first time following the full process of letting it cure for 6 days. I probably went the extra mile because I didn't drive it at all after application, until day six, since the instructions say for maximum cure time don't expose to moisture for 5-7 days. It sat in the garage. I washed my car with CarPro Reset, and also used an iron remover + Clay towel to fully decontaminate my Infiniti, after not hand washing since last October (life happens). The product goes on quickly and easily. Ready to wipe off after 3 mins, but I took about 5. I was shocked at the slickness. Cerakote also gives your car a very deep gloss. Do not put this on your glass, since this is not made for glass. I did use another product as a topper, as recommended for all Ceramic coatings however the gloss you see in the photos was the exact same level before I put the topper on. Cerakote by itself gives the car an incredible deep shine. I also rolled through a 15 second rain burst but by the time I got home the car was totally dry. Water can NOT stick to your paint. It just glides right off or evaporates, so its very effective at maximal hyprophobicity if thats what you are looking for. I plan to maintain this amazing coating with P&S Bead Maker and a quick wash every 2-3 weeks.

Although I am a first time user of ceramic coating I can say I am impressed. I used this on a 2019 Honda Civic (red) and a 2016 BMW 5 series (dark blue). I had enough to do both cars with a little bit left over. As always the prep is very important. I washed, clayed then polished. Then, wiped down with a mix of distilled water and alcohol. Application took about an hour and a half per car. Do not let other reviews freak you out! It's not hard to do. After a little time you will see what is the right amount of time to leave it on before the wipe down. You might see a rainbow effect and or it's getting a little bit tacky. That's when it's time. The shine gets even a little better after a couple days. The best way I can describe the results is it looks like putting another coat of clear paint on it. Impressive shine and repels water, dirt and helps cleaning bugs off. If you do have some left over you can store it in the fridge. It lasted 6 weeks for me before I took it out and used it again. With what I had left over I did my hoods again. Wow! Just wow! Ultra shine! If you just have one car to do you may want to do a second coat for shine like you've never seen before.

The directions say one small bottle will do a normal car. I questioned that. But I just did a new Tesla Y Premium, and had about 1/5 left. As to application, i found it easy to do the entire car (not the glass roof) in under 3 hours. I am 93, and if I can do it, anyone can. Product went on easily, waited 5 minutes, gave it a wipe, then polished. Really easy and excellent results. The results look great; I can see myself in a door. Wow. Hoods tend to be hard to get streak free, but not this product, went on and off leaving NO marks. I do have a few suggestions. Follow the directions. I first looked at a video on line. worth doing. I used a package of micro towels. I changed the first wipe with the finish wipe, and replaced the finish with a new towel. My towels had edging, but I was careful to use only the flat portions. The resultant shine is great. How long it lasts, how it looks after a few days, not certain, but for now a fine result. Now it has cured for 4 days (instructions say one day) maybe I will longer results. Says it works on glass, but I just bought a glass product, as a Tesls has a LOT of glass to coat.

So far im not satisfied with this product. It’s basically an expensive wax. Don’t get me wrong, it keeps the shine very well when curing is done, but a good quality wax does the same. The dirt still stuck to my 4Runner and the beading did not last too long. I did applied two coats of the ceramic coating. I am impressed with the first batch that I ordered. I applied it on my freshly powder coated wheels and it was easy to clean. Same with the first batch I applied on my bmw but I haven’t driven it on the rain yet. It’s a garage queen that I only drive on weekends, not like my daily driven 4Runner. Maybe it’s the second batch that I got that was a fluke. Follow up on my review. I decided to give it a four stars after several months. The car is easier to clean and it seems the road grimes removes easily. The black gloss is easier to maintain. I use the cerakote paint sealant and it seems like the cerakote ceramic coat works better with the sealant. The picture I attached is a close up of the hood of my car.

Don’t let anyone tell you it takes a professional to ceramic coat you vehicle. That’s not true. I have never applied ceramic coatings to a vehicle before nor was I trained how beyond watching YouTube videos but wanted to try it. Before applying this to my vehicle a neighbor and I split the cost of an order of this Cerakote product. We applied it to an old junky 11 year old dark gray work truck. We chose it because he didn’t care if we screwed it up. This truck has areas where the paint ranges from good condition to beyond hope condition. It has perfect paint and heavily oxidized paint as well as places that look ok but the clearcoat is etched by rainwater. The end result was amazing. The hood where the paint was pretty good looks showroom perfect now. Like a mirror. The oxidized paint areas was greatly improved and we found that this stuff fills in and corrects small clear coat scratches. But the fact that we applied this product ourselves with no prior experience and did a good job is the point. Just find a YouTube video. Follow the instructions. Done. Perhaps other ceramic coating are more difficult. I don’t know. But this one is easy and if you could screw it up I probably would have but didn’t. I’ve used Cerakote trim coating and also the headlight restorer kits before. All very easy to use. Very DIY friendly. Great results. This product is just as good. Highly recommend it.

I’m a first time user of any ceramic coating. After researching many brands & application methods on internet & utube, I was confused & a little concerned on attempting it. Decided on Cerakote based on mid price range & testimonial reports on ease of application. As most reports state, the preparation is critical to get a good final result. I used on a new Ford Maverick PU and did all prep steps 1). Handwashing with neutral PH soap to remove dealership spray wax & hand dry 2) I used Turtlewax brand Iron remover with a heavy rinse & soft towel hand dry. 3) clay bar with plenty of lube over all painted surfaces including wheels. Did a section at a time with micro towel removal of lube before going to next section 4). Suppose to buff paint but with a new vehicle I had no paint issues so this step was not necessary for me. 5) Handspray (50/50 mixture of alcohol & distilled water) & immediate wipe dry with microfiber towel to removal any lube residue from clay lube from step 5 Application of Cerakote product I sectioned vehicle into 12 sections (roof-engine hood/grill- 2 front fenders - 4 doors- 2 bed sides - tailgate & wheels. I used applicator provided with kit. Put 4 or 5 drops on applicator pad & wipe on painted surfaces with a cross hash pattern. Product goes on very easy. Add more product to pad when it feels like it is dragging (you can easily feel it) I applied to a section ( typically 2 minutes to apply) & set timer on my phone for 3 minutes. Then I applied product to next section & had time to get wiping & buffing microfiber towers before timer went off. I wiped with one towel & buffed with second towel in same pattern as applied when timer went off. Complete both sections before applying product to next two sections. Product does not dry on applicator pad between applications so I was able to use same pad for entire vehicle. Just be sure not to drop it or contaminate pad between sections. Product was easy so wipe off & buff. You can easily tell by slickness which section had product applied to. I’m very pleased with the application & results. I can’t testify to durability but initial results as good. If you’re a first time user don’t let all the talk worry you. Take time & followed instructions for product & you will be happy with results

Not saying it's the "sickest", "shiniest", or most "durable", but I am saying this image of Porsche is after 3+ months on car, and has been washed 12+ times since applied, and exposed to high heat & UV from the Southern Cali sun. The true test to a product is when applied to black paint...and it's holding up quite well. Very hydrophobic, shiny, and is slick as the hair on 1970/80's gangsters! Side note: 1 of 2 bottles busted upon arrival. Damaged shipping box so no fault of Cerakote, but bummer I only got half the product.

Exactly what you expect from a ceramic coating. Water beads off. Ease of application and u don’t need a whole lot. The vehicle looks brand new and has a glossy shine. Use for personal and customers and can tell you it hasn’t had any complaint back. After this is applied cleaning is easy. Just a once over with some shampoo and foam and no problem.

Die Cerakote Keramikbeschichtung hat meine Erwartungen komplett erfüllt. Die Anwendung ist erstaunlich einfach, wenn man sich an die Anleitung hält und die Oberfläche vorher gründlich reinigt. Das hat mich besonders überzeugt: • Anwendung & Verarbeitung: Das Auftragen gelingt ohne Schlieren oder Fleckenbildung. Das Produkt lässt sich sehr gleichmäßig verteilen und mühelos auspolieren. • Ergebnis & Glanz: Die Farbe wirkt sofort auffrischend, tiefer und intensiver. Die Oberfläche fühlt sich nach dem Aushärten spürbar glatter an. • Wasserabperleffekt (Beading): Der Abperleffekt bei Regen oder beim Waschen ist absolut genial. Wasser und Schmutz perlen einfach ab, was die spätere Reinigung extrem erleichtert. Ein wirklich hochwertiges Set für ein professionelles Ergebnis zu Hause. Klare Kaufempfehlung!
