Usual ceramic coating effect

I don’t wash my car anyway. Even cheaper.

In my experience, if you care so much about shinyness and caring for the bodywork, it's the arch inners/liners which will be rust starting points.

Or maintaining road chips which penetrate to the raw bodywork.

I get it, but only if you're aiming to keep it for a decade or more and also do under-body cleaning/protection too.

If you're just adding it to a new car you're gonna trade in and/or abuse other ways and swap in 3 years then it's just a product for tarts

You are forgetting how much easier these products make washing and drying your car over those 3 years! The water running straight off makes it really easy.

Did they sand the other side of the bonnet to get the water to stick to it like that!?

I have GTech CS on mine and it doesn't perform like that. Wonder what the product name is?!

That's not just a ceramic coat I would say. I have Crystal serum light and eco on mine and whilst that is very good at repelling water it doesn't get near anything like that. Using from wetcoat gives similar properties which is what I use most washed now.

Is it a spoof with a paint protection film?
