Ceramic Coating Recommendations - DIY

Looking for some diy ceramic coating recommendations for the paint and wheels (if different). or maybe more importantly what to stay away from. Not looking to go crazy, either.

Anyone thoughts about SONAX CC36 ceramic coating?

TIA.

Thanks a retailer also recommended that one for people in the NE.

I decided to try the GYEON Q2 Pure. I'll let everyone know how it works out.

Good choice. I have worked with most Ceramic coatings including Cquartz, Opticoat, etc and I prefer the Gyeon products for ease of application, longevity, and shine.

Thanks, I was a tiny bit worried I might have chosen the more difficult of the two (CQuartz / Gyeon) to start with.

I just did GTechniq crystal serum and exo v4 on top. Extremely pleased with the outcome. I’ve used a few coatings on different cars but this one is my new favorite.

I've got TAC moonlight coming. 9 months and easy to use 25% sio2 oil based sealant.

If I were to put a semipermanent ceramic on though I'd choose CQuartz 3.0 from looking at review videos.
