Meguiar'sProfessional Beyond Ceramic Paint Coating M888 - Multi-Year Ceramic Coating For Cars, Easy to Apply, Fills in Minor Defects with Exceptional Water Beading, Slickness, and Chemical Resistance

Extremely impressed with this at its same price point.Wish they included multiple applicators and the product is a bit grabby during the buff but it's so easy to work with.2 weeks later and car is slick and the rain we've been getting hasnt dirties up the sides of the car or the hatch.I'll likely do my car by this fall with this

I used this on a new car and the water beading is incredible. Shine is good too. It was certainly no harder to apply than wax and maybe a bit easier. But I'd strongly recommend watching the instructional videos. They repeatedly emphasize the importance of proper paint preparation, including the removal of any other products or residue that might be on the paint. So while the product itself is very easy to use, make sure to factor in the time and effort needed to properly prep. Even on a new car, I wanted to make sure the paint was completely clean and that the dealership's spray wax was cleaned off. So I washed with a special soap and then went over the entire vehicle twice with a surface prep spray. Finally inspected with bright lights before applying the M888. I just applied one coat on a mid-size SUV and had enough left over for a second coat. I also applied it to the plastic trim and it holds up well there too. Hindsight . . . maybe don't apply it to side-steps as it will make any surface slippery.I doubt I'd use it again on the same vehicle, simply because of the amount of time required. But for a one time application it will be worthwhile IF it holds up as advertised.

By far the best ceramic coating I’ve used to date. Slick to the touch. Easy to apply and wipe off. Great water beading property. I’ve used it on 2 different vehicles now and need more for my truck. Great product.

I’m a big Meguairs user, watched a bunch of videos that suggested this product was easy to apply and works well. My experience was neither of those are true.I just spent 8 hours doing a strip wash, chemical decon, clay baring, compounding, polishing and surface preping my car to use this product and it was the worst application experience I’ve ever had with any product.Application was done in a garage out of the sun at about 72’F and 45% humidity. Initial application of the product is a bit tacky which isn’t unusual for ceramic in my experience but the real issue shows up when you try to remove it. It’s tacky and difficult to remove and I tried everything from a 1-10 minute waiting period when the suggested is 2-5 minutes. Leaving it longer than a few minutes leads to what looks like microfiber lint accumulating all over the paint, but after working with it more I think this is actually coating material. Add to that that it’s he’ll trying to remove hot spots and this product is just not consumer/enthusiast friendly.Really disappointed with the experience and mad that I wasted $80 on this. I’ll stick with hybrid ceramic sealants applied every three months from now on.

I purchased about a month ago and am extremely impressed with this product! I consider myself an enthusiast but by no means am I professional when it comes to washing and detailing my vehicles. I have previously used other coatings that were more of a short term user friendly approach to ceramic type coatings. Those worked but need to be repeated more often. Once I heard about this product coming out I decided I would give it a shot.I know a key for applying coatings is to make the surface as clean as possible so that you will get maximum bonding to the clear coat. I first used Meguiar's iron decontamination spray, then used a clay bar to try and get off as much contamination as I could. After that I used my DA polisher attachment for my drill to do a once over with a compound and a polish. Once that was complete I made sure any excess polish or other materials were removed with a surface prep spray.Once that was all ready I applied the coating. First of all it was extremely easy to apply and very forgiving overall for someone like me. I went along panel by panel until complete. I would say from wash, clay, polish and finally applying it took me about 7-8 hours.The results: The shine and finish is unmatched for any other product I have used. Running my hand over the panels felt smoother than I could have imagined. The coating helped to smooth out and reduce any of the imperfections that were left on the car. A week or so later we got our first rain. The water beading was amazing. Any of the dirt that had gathered over that week washed away with the rain and made it look like I had just gotten a car wash. I parked the car in the garage and within an hour all of the remaining water had beaded up and rolled off the car. It looked like I didn't even drive in the rain and it was clean!Since I have given the car it's first bath and sprayed a quick layer of the hybrid ceramic wax over for extra protection even though it didn't really need it.I look forward to seeing how it hold up long term.

So I installed this product, which was very easy to do after I completed all the prep steps. I’ve had it on my vehicle now for about three months, and still it looks like the day that it was installed. Only complaint I would have is that once you use the applicator pad, there’s no good way to clean it so that you can use it for another vehicle. I reached out to the company to see about purchasing another one, and they said you’d have to purchase a whole new kit. I wish they would sell just the applicator pads .
