Yes im aware of this...but sometimes the unknown brand also can deliver results, just asking the user who has experience with the brand, in my mind right now is either igl ezycoat or cquartz 3.0 or sic...the price is not that steep and affordable...but if got anything cheaper and proven might as well buy the cheaper 1 huhuhu...

But your point is valid, the longevity and durability is one thing, the worst is it may ruin the paint.

Actually agreed with you also, get a feedback first, if good go for it 💖😆💖

Generally with coating, it should be able to last! so no worries, just make sure not have regular after rain water on the body baked under the sun, watermark becomes a paint.

Doing it DIY, is fulfilling as well.

After applying coating, how often do you polish, clay and reapply new coating? Or just reapply a new layer without polish & clay?

Until the coat is gone. Will be able to know by spraying water. So far mine still working great after 6 months. Previously I was using Soft99 12 months wax (can't remember the name) but it attracted dirt which cannot be removed by normal car wash. You can see a layer of dirt sticking on the paint surface. Ceramic coating has no such issue. Will never go back to wax

Wifey new company car collected 6-7 months back, paintwork looks ok, wash, clay, clean it with isopropyl then coat double layer (1st layer Glanzy+ 10H coat) a week ago then today 2nd layer with this $34 fro Aliexpress.

Windscreen all round coated as well with Dr Chemist fro Shopee

Let’s see how it withstand 24/7 outdoor

any idea what's the best way to remove house paint residue from car body?

read that we can use clay bar, tar remover or even WD40?

As mentioned, completed 2 layer this couple of days on a 4 yrs old car. Dquartz is by far the easiest to apply and buff off. Great can be used on the windshield and windows too. 2nd layer with the balance from previous coating. Prep was the usual wash using clay cloth, dry, removed some watermarks and clean with isopropyl DIY 50/50 mix prior to applying coats. Let’s see how it holds up.

Looking good! BTW, didnt you polish after clay, or your car top layer was smooth enough, with no swirls?

No I did not as the paintwork looks good with very2 little swirls. After clay, it was smooth enough to apply the coats.

Ok can’t help myself since there’s plenty of leftover fro DquartzGo, decided to apply it on MYJ yesterday evening. This car was double layered previously last year, think sometime in June/May when I got the car. Applied all over the car including glass roof, windows and windscreens. For the bottom plastic, I used the 12H leftover fro coating X70. Both coatings still has leftover, might use it later to coat perhaps my sister’s car during CNY. Results is amazing!
I’m done DIY on all household cars for the next couple of years hopefully
