PETER COATED HIS OWN CAR WITH DIAMOND PROTECH PRO 60
This is probably the best I've ever spent on my car (time and money).
Diamond Protech PRO60 + HYDROV2 – 60 Month Coating
This two-layer coating is very easy to work with. This is the first time I've coated a car, but definitely not the last. It's quite simple, and you can't really mess it up.
One layer of coating takes 1 – 1½ hours, depending on how systematically you coat and wipe off.
For the first layer, you should probably be a bit careful not to coat rubber seals, but not to the extent that it's necessary to tape them off. Lights and hard plastic take the coating very well.
Take a clean cloth and wipe the entire car over one more time to ensure all the coating is wiped off (it takes 5 min, so why not?).
For the second layer (Hydro), you can safely apply it to the entire car, including the rubber seals (at least I could on my car). I chose to coat with Hydro twice; I could clearly feel that it gave a smoother surface, but that's probably because I applied too thin a layer of Hydro the first time, but then it's perfect.
Take a clean cloth and wipe the entire car over one more time to ensure all the coating is wiped off (it takes another 5 min, so why not?).
Use good applicators (2 pcs.) and large microfiber cloths (min. 5 pcs.), then the work is so much easier!!!
I really like the finish this coating gives the paint, and if it needs to be refreshed with a layer of Hydro once a year, I'm definitely up for that too.
