Having had the bumper and n/s wing resprayed weeks ago, and driven 2 miles home, I washed off those bits and stuck my early '97 Boxster in the garage with a dehumidifier and heater to Ceramic coat it yesterday.
No special kit needed, though the Race Glaze 9H Kit is made easy for amatuers. It took 35 minutes to do, piece of cake really. After 22 hours inside it was booted out at 9am for the 'after' pictures.
It looks glassy smooth and reflective, and will be hard as nails now. Am going to have to wax the bonnet so it doesnt look so dull ! £79.99 for the kit, sufficient to do the whole car and also I think my old Vogue. Admittedly I do know what I am doing, but there is no mystique - its straightforward and rather rewarding.

Sold - 2021 CLA 35 Premium.
It looks to be a very small bottle for £80 ... :rolleyes:;);)
It does...but a little goes a very long way with ceramic coatings.

I wouldn't have the confidence or the facilities to apply it to my own car, so I leave it to the prossionals ( not Bodie and Doyle :D).

There's enough in there to easily do my Boxster and Range Rover. But the Kit also includes the pre-clean, applicators, gloves, cloths etc

All you need to do it is a garage that is warm and dry, the instriction book is aimed at those who have never used one of these products. Frankly its quite easy (even boring) but pro application has been mystified into a black art to justify high prices.
