Do it yourself lol . It’s not hard . You need a buffer $200 . Buff polish compound 20-30 dollar . Pad 5-10 dollar . Tape . Ceramic coat I use carpro I think it was $100 a bottle . It’s small bottle but you can do 2 cars with it . Just make sure the paint is clean once you apply the ceramic coat what ever under it will stay there . It’s been a while since I’m into it .
100% percent correct sir!I had been researching different DIY brands for about a year and I just did my car over the July 4th week with Crystal Serum Light topped with EXO V4 and I'm glad I did it but it's a LOT of work to do it right. When you have it done what you're really paying for is the labor to polish the car to a flawless finish and this alone is worth it. The coating is then wiped on and wiped off to help protect the polishing they did.
I learned that it takes a lot of knowledge and experience to polish a car correctly so if you've never done it save yourself a lot of hassles and have someone do it for you. I learned the hard way which pads, chemicals, rpm's, polishing time, etc on my car but I did learn it after many attempts and it's as perfect as it can be without repainting it.
Yes, get the ceramic coating done but have an expert do it if you've never polished a car to a perfect condition.
