Review on SHINE ARMOR Ceramic Coating Fortify Quick Coat Waterless Wash & Wax Hydrophobic Top Coat Polish & Polymer Paint Sealant Detail Protection Spray by Marcus Hardin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

5/5: Incredible shine and amazing water repellency

First of all I did not receive this product for free and I have not received any compensation. Sorry, that needs to be said. In full transparency I used this on a 2018 8 month old Mazda CX-5 with premium factory paint (Soul Red Crystal). The paint is in fairly pristine condition, so if you use it on an older machine you may get more noticeable results (whether good or disappointing depending on the quality of your paint). Spray although a bit pricey. I think the shine quality is a notch higher than the Griot, but hardly. The product is easy to apply and easy to wipe off, absolutely free of streaks and streaks. Bonus points for treating your wheel, windows and trim with it. A slightly deeper coat was added to the paint, but no more than a full block of clay and a coat of quality wax (less work though). Since I spent several hours washing the car and spent about twenty minutes doing it, you'll have to wait for updates on how well this 'ceramic' spray absorbs water since I'm not quitting my job! This could change it to 4/5 stars if it performs well. I'm not sure I'll spend another $20 on it again. The results aren't bad, but they're not as impressive as viral marketing might lead you to believe. Take this at face value as my car's paint is almost new and we will be servicing it so your mileage may vary. Nothing replaces a day's work with clay and wax. UPDATE: After applying two coats of this a few weeks ago, we had a late snow storm on Saturday followed by torrential rain. Today I added additional photos to show how water absorbent this product is. I was surprised. I have never waxed this car since I rented it last August - it has never been polished so well. I've settled on five/five stars. I recommend without hesitation.
