Was pretty impressed for a spray on product. I had however, applied the meguiars ceramic spray with a damp microfiber as well vs the standard spray and wash method which seems like a waste of product/way less durable.
The hard work is the prep, compound and polish with a dual action buffer. That was easily 6 hours. The actual application was about 1 - 1.5 hours. Key thing is good lighting or a powerful spot light or you'll end up with little oily looking streaks where you didn't level out the ceramic coating especially on a dark vehicle.
