Buy some sunglasses for after you use this on your vehicle !
I am OCC (obsessive clean compulsive !) about all our vehicles and my usual protocol when buying a used vehicle (who can afford new nowadays ?) is to give them a good buffing with Presta Ultra Polish and then topcoat with Mother's Carnauba cleaner/wax once a month. I have gotten outstanding results which turns heads (even on my 1980 Mack truck !) but when my wife recently acquired a 2009 white Porsche 911 I wanted to give ceramic coating a try after the initial buffing with the Ultra Polish. I prepared the surface as directed and applied Amor Shield IX MAX and let the car sit for three days. The car is so shiny and water rolls right off when washing it. I do wash the car right away as soon as it gets dirty and the dirt comes off much easier then when using the Mothers' wax. But the main thing is the shine ! She gets compliments all the time where she works and people ask her how her car is so clean and shiny in the middle of winter. I took it out myself on a sunny day and even I was a bit surprised by how stunning it looked it the sun. I do apply the Armor Shield Lite once a month especially if the car is getting washed a lot in the winter for extra protection and it only takes about 10 minutes compared to over an hour with the Mothers' wax. As a retired old fart who has owned vehicles for over 50 years I've found this to be the best system for making your car shine but you do have to be willing to do the required prep work
