In many ways, our experience with Shine Armor was nearly identical to Epic Elements Protect. You can use it on your clearcoat, wheels, windshield, and mirrors. Make sure your vehicle is properly washed (preferably with a pH-balanced shampoo) before applying the ceramic coating. Like the Chemical Guys HydroSlick SiO2 Ceramic Coating, this spray’s formula is between a wax and a coating, making it easy to apply but not as long-lasting.Īccording to Shine Armor, the spray takes only 15 minutes to apply. Not only can you apply the Shine Armor Fortify Quick Coat to cars and trucks but also boats, motorbikes, recreational vehicles (RVs), and four-wheelers. The three-in-one formula acts as a waterless wash, coat, and shine for your vehicle. The Shine Armor Fortify Quick Coat is one of the most popular DIY ceramic coatings.

The time difference between this and other coatings is even more pronounced when coating an entire vehicle. Application takes less than a minute for a small section of car. The solution comes in a spray bottle so that all the user needs to do is spray and wipe. Turtle Wax is far and away the easiest to use of the ceramic coatings we tested. This ceramic coating’s application process is simple, requiring only two sprays, a wipedown with a microfiber towel, and a 24-hour cure time. In consumer tests, this product not only looks great but also proves it can withstand harsh elements and strong chemical solvents. These polymers also aid in water repelling and sheeting after the ceramic coating cures. This ceramic coating features SiO2 polymers – silica nanoparticles – which give your car a glass-like look and shine. The Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating is affordable, offers exceptional performance, and is easy to apply. Customer reviews indicate this coating can last beyond a year. Once applied, CQuartz offers appearance and protection like few other at-home kits. Covering the entire paint job of one car with the tiny applicator would probably take an entire day, considering the preparation steps you’ll also need to take. We only applied CQuartz to a small portion of the test vehicle, however. We found the instructions easy to follow, and the kit includes everything you’ll need for application.

We recommend the CarPro CQuartz ceramic coating kit for any detailer keen on a professional look without the high price tag. This is less obvious when using spray-on products, especially with a white vehicle. The gel is thick and feels like you’re applying a layer of protection. The results aren’t quite as durable as a multi-stage kit such as CQuartz but seem to last longer than what you’ll get from spray-on coatings. As with any ceramic coating, you’ll want to clean your car’s paint beforehand. The instructions are simple: wipe on, wipe off, and all you’ll need are some microfiber cloths. Key FeaturesĬhemical Guys HydroSlick formula is an easy-to-apply gel.
While the Chemical Guys HydroSlick SiO2 Ceramic Coating doesn’t quite deliver the same level of shine and scratch-resistance as a traditional ceramic coating, it’s a great option for beginner detailers.

After washing your vehicle, apply the gel, let it cure for as few as 30 seconds, and dry the treated surfaces with a high-quality microfiber towel. The Chemical Guys HydroSlick SiO2 Ceramic Coating has a simple and quick application process.
