what do you guys recommend for a diy ceramic coating kit? Came across some pretty cheap products like Mr Fix 9h anyone have any experience with this or similar products?
I second that. CP or any of the other well-known brands. Stay away from the Chinese stuff they sell on AMZ or Ebay. They're absolutely crap and you'll just be throwing money away.I’m a professional detailer. For those wanting a DIY I only recommend Car Pro products.
If you want a pro install ceramic Pro is the way to go and use car pro products to take care of the coat for after care.

You can wash it as you would any vehicle, as long as it’s hand washed, otherwise the paint will scratch just as easy as an un-coated car. Would be a pity to spend all that money and effort to have it go through an automatic car wash and have it make spiderweb scratches on the paint (in my opinion).
Cheers,
Care to expand on the CarPro recommendation? There seems to be a whole heckuva lot of products on their web site.
Would a touch less wash be ok. We have touchless and autowashes with brushes. I know those washes with the brush messes with the paint, but am curious about the touchless ones.
Gtechniq has very good products. I did my wheels with C5 and have been happy so far. I had my truck professionally done with Gyeon ceramic which I’ve never used before, but my business partner had his Charger done with and heard and saw how great of a product it is. You also have to consider what the pros get are not the same products that are sold to the general public although they still can do a good job, prep is king.I ordered and am waiting to arrive - Gtechniq Crystal Serum Lite and EXOv4. Does anyone have experience with these products?
I personally believe, as do many of my colleagues, that CSL is the best retail coating that money can buy. It has a longer duration than some of the professional products. For example, I have an installers agreement with a coating company, and their highest level product has a 4 year warranty. CSL is 5 year duration- not the same as a warranty but I firmly believe it will last that long or longer.I ordered and am waiting to arrive - Gtechniq Crystal Serum Lite and EXOv4.
