Parts and Accessories
1

I’m considering using Ceramic Pro 9H for my car, and I’ve heard a lot of mixed opinions. Some say it’s a game-changer for protecting paint, while others think it might not live up to the claims. I would love to gather some feedback from anyone who has actually used it on their vehicles.

What I’m Curious About:

  • Durability: How long has it lasted for you? Did you experience any issues with wear or damage over time?
  • Application: Was the application process straightforward? Did you do it yourself, or did you have a professional handle it?
  • Appearance: How did it impact the look of your car? Was there a noticeable shine or depth to the paint?
  • Maintenance: Have you noticed any changes in how easy it is to clean your car after applying the coating?
  • Value: Do you think it was worth the money? Would you do it again?

I’m looking for honest reviews, ideally from fellow car enthusiasts or detailers. Your insights would really help me make an informed decision before I commit to this product. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

I’ve been using Ceramic Pro 9H on my car for about six months now. The application process can be a bit tricky, but if you prep the surface well, it makes a huge difference. Make sure to wash, clay, and polish the paint beforehand.

Those steps are crucial! I also found that applying in a shaded area helps prevent premature curing. Any specific tips for the actual application?

Totally agree with that, Margarethunt! I also recommend using the right applicator pad. Avoid anything too harsh. A foam pad works wonders for an even spread.

5

Good point! I used a microfiber applicator myself but had some streaking. Foam might be the way to go next time.

6

I faced some challenges too, James95. I noticed that if you apply too thick of a layer, it can lead to high spots. Less is more, really!

7

That’s why I did a test patch first. It helped me gauge how much to use without wasting product.

8

Great idea, pwagner! I applied too much on one panel and had to buff it multiple times to fix it. Live and learn, I guess!

I’ve read that the curing time is critical. How long do you all let it set before opting for a wash or the first drive? What did you do, Todd51?

10

I let it cure for 24 hours, but some folks say 48 hours is better. Just depends on the weather!

11

Yolandacruz is right! Just be cautious with rain. I’ve ended up caught out and had to redo some sections because of it. Ugh!

People are saying it’s like armor for your car, but I’ve heard mixed results! Has anyone really tested that durability? Like, can it handle bird droppings and tree sap well?

13

I got some bird droppings on mine and it wiped right off without staining! Pretty impressive durability.

14

That’s good to hear, Phillipmarquez! I’d still be cautious because even with 9H, some things can be tough to remove. Anyone ever try to scrub off tree sap?

15

I had a nightmare with that! Had to use a little rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth. Just make sure you don’t let it sit too long.

I’ve had Ceramic Pro 9H on my vehicle for over a year now. The protection against scratches is impressive, and it still looks like new! Can’t recommend it enough.

That’s great to hear! I’ve been worried about how well it can hold up against harsh elements. Any long-term effects you’ve noticed?

18

Ceramic Pro 9H is fantastic but it does require proper maintenance. I wash my car regularly and it really does repel dirt and contaminants well. I’ve seen a noticeable difference pre- and post-application.

19

It’s good to know that the maintenance isn’t too demanding! How often do you think one should apply it again for optimal results?

20

I’ve had mine for over two years, and while it still protects against minor scratches, I’m noticing some wear in the areas that see the most sun exposure. So, I’d say every 1-2 years for reapplication is ideal.
