Meguiar's Professional Beyond Ceramic Paint Coating M888 - Multi-Year Ceramic Coating For Cars, Easy to Apply, Fills in Minor Defects with Exceptional Water Beading, Slickness, and Chemical Resistance

I used this on a new car and the water beading is incredible. Shine is good too. It was certainly no harder to apply than wax and maybe a bit easier. But I'd strongly recommend watching the instructional videos. They repeatedly emphasize the importance of proper paint preparation, including the removal of any other products or residue that might be on the paint. So while the product itself is very easy to use, make sure to factor in the time and effort needed to properly prep. Even on a new car, I wanted to make sure the paint was completely clean and that the dealership's spray wax was cleaned off. So I washed with a special soap and then went over the entire vehicle twice with a surface prep spray. Finally inspected with bright lights before applying the M888. I just applied one coat on a mid-size SUV and had enough left over for a second coat. I also applied it to the plastic trim and it holds up well there too. Hindsight . . . maybe don't apply it to side-steps as it will make any surface slippery.I doubt I'd use it again on the same vehicle, simply because of the amount of time required. But for a one time application it will be worthwhile IF it holds up as advertised.

I purchased about a month ago and am extremely impressed with this product! I consider myself an enthusiast but by no means am I professional when it comes to washing and detailing my vehicles. I have previously used other coatings that were more of a short term user friendly approach to ceramic type coatings. Those worked but need to be repeated more often. Once I heard about this product coming out I decided I would give it a shot.I know a key for applying coatings is to make the surface as clean as possible so that you will get maximum bonding to the clear coat. I first used Meguiar's iron decontamination spray, then used a clay bar to try and get off as much contamination as I could. After that I used my DA polisher attachment for my drill to do a once over with a compound and a polish. Once that was complete I made sure any excess polish or other materials were removed with a surface prep spray.Once that was all ready I applied the coating. First of all it was extremely easy to apply and very forgiving overall for someone like me. I went along panel by panel until complete. I would say from wash, clay, polish and finally applying it took me about 7-8 hours.The results: The shine and finish is unmatched for any other product I have used. Running my hand over the panels felt smoother than I could have imagined. The coating helped to smooth out and reduce any of the imperfections that were left on the car. A week or so later we got our first rain. The water beading was amazing. Any of the dirt that had gathered over that week washed away with the rain and made it look like I had just gotten a car wash. I parked the car in the garage and within an hour all of the remaining water had beaded up and rolled off the car. It looked like I didn't even drive in the rain and it was clean!Since I have given the car it's first bath and sprayed a quick layer of the hybrid ceramic wax over for extra protection even though it didn't really need it.I look forward to seeing how it hold up long term.

Don't criticize the pictures too much weather wasn't the best and couldn't get a good shot, and this was the only day I had to get it done. Also, watch the video/videos before you start. There is some good info on there that will save you trouble if you don't do it right.First off, be prepared to do prep work. On my old truck I used to use Meguires 3 step cleaner, polish, wax, so when I looked into this I was already prepared for the amount of work required. I still only use Meguires products: car wash, ultimate compound, clay bars, ultimate polish and until today the ultimate wax. After I completed the polish and wiped off any residue I began the ceramic coat.I was a little conserned when I first started as it took a good bit of product to get the applicator loaded enough to spread. Once it was well loaded this product went on easier than any wax I have used. Application can get a little tedious as you apply one direction then go back over in another, however I found this easier still than applying wax. Removal was just as easy. However due to the size of my vehicle I may use 2 microfiber cloths on removal instead of one as by the time I got to the end my cloth was loaded and I didn't have anymore clean ones except the one I was planning to use after as a final wipedown during inspection.When I received the bottle I was a little angry because it felt like I had been "had" the bottle felt small to me for the amount of vehicle I had to cover. After application I felt better, because I only used a 1/2 bottle to completely coat my Ram 1500 crew cab truck.I cannot speak yet to durability, as this is my first time using this product, but I plan to come back and update. After doing all the prep work they mentioned in the video I am hoping for a good turn out.

Es súper bueno pero si es necesario q lo coloque alguien q tenga conocimiento y mucho más en colores oscuros y notorios

I applied this to my 2024 ford bronco on May 24th 2024 and at first it was amazing water rolled off my car like it was allergic to it, but now (Sept 23 2024) you can’t even tell anything was ever applied. I followed all the directions when doing the application. There was enough in the bottle to do 2 coats on the metal body parts of my bronco , the roof and rear side are not metal. Considering I paid over $100 for the kit and spent about 2 hours doing the full 2 coat application working 1 section at a time I am very disappointed that it didn’t even last 4 months. For the results I got I could’ve just as easily bought a $20 spray and wax bottle and gotten multiple applications that in total would’ve probably lasted 6 months. Save your time and money and don’t be fooled by the “amazing 5 star review” that people leave after the first day or two. And I know the description says “with proper maintenance “ well every other week while washing the car I applied a touch free SiO2 spray to maintain it as the directions on the box recommend.
