I ceramic-ed the underside of the hood. (Notice the V6 reflection?) That wasn't overkill, was it?

Nice reflection from the hood, I think....

Pulling her out in to the sun helped me spot some leftovers I had to wipe off. I DID pick up a UV flashlight at _mazon, which found ONE 3"x3" spot I completely missed.

The plastic just POPS with the Adam's spray ceramic. I did a few hoses too, as well as the engine cover. (Honestly, I think I'm going to pull that whole contraption off, and put it in a box.)

Oh yeah, when I was DONE, I took the applicator, put MORE ceramic on it, and did the inside of the wheel wells. I'm going to throw it away anyways. Might as well make something else easy to clean!

I just run mine through Tommy's every time I pass one. I have to admire your dedication.

Thank you. Honestly, it was relaxing and therapeutic. This car is like a Ferrari or McLaren to me. I've loved all of my Mazda 3s, my Saturns, my Dodge Intrepid. Yeah, it's "only" a Nissan. But I've listed after a Z since High School and seeing the 300ZX.

Hella shiny!!! Great job 👏🏽 is the ceramic spray for plastics only? Or do you use it on the exterior paint as well?

It is mainly for paint, but all of the Adam's YT videos show them coating EVERYTHING.

Yeah, the paint pops now. BUT, the plastic looks like I just pulled it out of the factory wrapper.

Yes, it isn't a "True" ceramic that you get in a teeny tiny 3oz glass bottle. But it is true ceramic. as it has the solvent that deposits the Si O2 in place, and "rainbows off".

The UV tracer was pretty neat. It enabled me to find one spot I missed with the ceramic, and one spot I did not prep to its fullest. (There must have been some wax left.)

Yeah, it is only going to last for 2 years. BFD. I enjoyed doing it.
