SHINE ARMOR Ceramic Coating Quick Coat Spray

Veramente facile da utilizzare. A fine lavaggio in 20 minuti ho fatto tutta l’auto che è migliorata parecchio, differenza netta e visibile. Prodotto che su colori più scuri si esalta particolarmente ma in generale mi ha lasciato particolarmente soddisfatto non solo per il risultato finale, ma anche per la facilità di applicazione. Un fai da te in 20 minuti che sembra fatto da un deteiler in 2 ore… Ovviamente non so ancora la durata dell’effetto ma il flacone dura per circa tre applicazioni e ripeterò il lavoro magari ogni 3-4 lavaggi visto che è così veloce. Top!

Deja el coche muy bien

Makes my car look like new with minimal effort. Beware, a little goes a Loooooooong way so use it sparingly. Highly recommended.

This is the first time I’ve tried a waterless wash/wax spray. Prior to this I’d been using my power washer/foam gun to wash the car, which worked well but was a lot of work to not even get a “fresh wax” look. My initial concern with waterless wash/wax was that it wouldn’t really “clean” the car but just cover up or spread around the ick. Additionally, I wasn’t confident it would clean glass as well as a wash or glass cleaner. After reading the reviews of several different sprays though, I decided it would be worth a shot. This one stood out from the others in the reviews -it seemed to give consistent results and not leave streaks behind. And yes, it worked exactly as expected. Easy to apply, and the instructions were straightforward.

There’s a lot of physical labor that goes into getting it done correctly (that or I’m fat), but I still took some shortcuts. I sprayed larger areas and then wiped them down, opposed to the recommended ‘small’ areas. As long as you move quick enough with the drying, it doesn’t seem to make a difference. It certainly sped things up and I still got great results (no streaks, no gunk left behind, great shine). Funny story: When I was working on the hood, I set the bottle down on a section that I’d already waxed. The bottle slid off the hood lol. That would not have happened on an unwaxed section. Slick, shiny, and appears to cover up swirls.

My compact SUV used up about half the bottle for one wax. I applied it in my garage, at night, with no issues. My car is black so, if there were going to be any issues applying it, it would’ve happened to me. I went through 6 of the 12″x12″ microfiber cloths (3 wet, 3 dry) that I purchased for this. The wet ones were nice and dirty which was a relief given my initial concerns. The glass was spotless. 0 streaks. Since I was applying it in a half-lit garage, there were a couple spots that I touched up on, but that was likely user error and had nothing to do with the product.

Depending on how long it lasts (this is Day 1), this could be a product that I use long term. I saw one review that said it lasted two months, but with their being rain and snow in my area I’m interested to see how long it lasts. If it lasts a month I’ll be more than happy. I’ll update this when it’s time to re-apply the next coat. So far though, easily a 10/10. Hopefully they start selling refills of this in Gallon size, because 16oz won’t last long.

To start: I did not receive this product free, nor was I compensated in any way. It’s a shame this has to be said.

In full transparency, I used this on on an 8 month old 2018 Mazda CX-5 with a premium factory paint (Soul Red Crystal). The paint is pretty impeccable condition, so if you’re using this on an older car, you may have more noticeable results (whether good or disappointing, depending on your paint quality.).

Overall, I think this is an above average quick detailer spray, albeit a slightly pricy one. I do think the shine quality is a notch above something like Griot’s, but just barely.

Product applied easily and wiped off easily with absolutely no hazing or streaking. Bonus points that you can use this to treat your wheel, windows, and trim as well. Added a slightly deeper depth to the paint, but no more than a full claybar and coat of quality wax would do (though this is less work).

As I spent a few hours washing the car and about twenty minutes applying this, you’ll have to wait for an update as to how well this “ceramic” spray beads up water as I’m not undoing my work! That may change it to a 4/5 star review if it sheets off well.

I don’t know that I’d spend $20 again on this. The results are decent but not as awe-inspiring as viral marketing may lead you to believe. Take that at face value, as my car’s paint is nearly brand new and we’ll maintained, so your mileage may vary. Nothing is a replacement for a day’s worth of clay barring and waxing.

UPDATE: after applying two coats of this a few weeks ago, we had a late-season snowstorm Saturday, followed by constant rain. I added additional photos today to show how much this product beads water. I was floored. I have never waxed this car since I leased it last August- it never beaded up this well. I’ve adjusted to five/five stars. I recommend without hesitation.
