That goes for pretty much...anything. Indoors is fine just don't stand too close and inhale this stuff directly, unless you want coated lungs.SomeOtherDude wrote: ↑ wondering if anyone knows how toxic this stuff is?

Good reason to use a mask during application, just in case. Best to have ventilation.SomeOtherDude wrote: ↑ wondering if anyone knows how toxic this stuff is?

I'd leave them standing but I don't see a problem with having them for a year before use. I would store them inside to keep from freezing and give it a shake before use.fatcowxlive wrote: ↑ Hey, so I'm sold on this but I want to know how many "coats" would this bottle have for a hatchback? Also this is probably a really silly question but do these expire? Can I buy a bunch and leave them lying for a year before use?

The worst part, Shell touchless carwashes couldn't get rid of that dust film.plymouthhater wrote: ↑ I used the spray last weekend - I washed the car (black 2018 Miata GT) with Dawn to strip off all of the old wax and any grease. Then I used a clay bar mit and then washed the vehicle again.
Dried it with multiple microfibre cloths and then 2 coats (24 hrs apart) of the ceramic spray - wiping it off with a microfibre cloth each time. I also treated the windows and exterior mirrors. (The bottle says it's OK for glass).
So far so good - the vehicle is as smooth as glass.
The only issue is that it now attracts dust like a magnet.

That's only because normal spray waxes only last like a few weeksTannerK28755 wrote: ↑ If you're going to use this stuff you should really do a proper wax of your vehicle first. Any type of spray on wax is going to work best if there is a base coat of wax on the vehicle. Spray on wax is really good for maintenance and a slight increase in shine when there's already a base coat on.
If you want a really good wax for base coat look for something called Collinite (see link below). People use this down in Florida to wax their boats and all the big car shows. It came out in like the 1930s and it's still being used so that tells you something about the product. this stuff is some of the best bang for your buck you can get.

Can you see reflections like a mirror in your paint, because there's no swirls? If your answer isn't yes, then it needs a polish.Crunchytut wrote: ↑ Would a claybar and then applying this product be good a couple times a year to maintain your paint and clearcoat ? Or should something like a polish be incorporated as well?

You aren't wrong per se.savemoresaveoften wrote: ↑ I just use the wash and wax stuff, then use the ceramic spray on top. It’s like a mirror on a dark color car.
Unless u have severe swirl mark or the paint was heavily neglected, don’t need to go as far as stripping all wax, and then clay bar preparation in my mind.
But I am no detailing expert either.

If you meant Polish then you're correct. This stuff has to go on before Wax as it needs to bind to the paint/clearcoat. If you read thru this thread you will see lots of people have done the following: wash/IronX/clay/polish/Ceramic coat and some have applied a Wax as the last step.TannerK28755 wrote: ↑ If you're going to use this stuff you should really do a proper wax of your vehicle first.

Exactly same situation for me with Petro Canada touchless car wash, seemed all dirt stuck on the car still. I showed them how dirty it still was, got a re-wash ticket. Didn't bother to go back to touchless again. Went to a regular car wash and applied my second coat.dilligafeh wrote: ↑ The worst part, Shell touchless carwashes couldn't get rid of that dust film.
I complained after I went through the first one and showed the attendant the grime that I could easily wipe with a finger, so I got a re-wash and it came out exactly the same way it went in, still dirty. I didn't bother a second time.
This was an "ultimate" carwash, but maybe they meant it as in "the last" one I am getting...
