"Professional" paint correction

What's everyone's opinion on Spray coatings like this Uber Ceramic spray? https://www.autogeek.net/wg-uber-cer...y-coating.html
Is this more of a maintenance to the actual ceramic coats like mentioned before in this thread or more of a fancy quick detail spray. The market has absolutely exploded on the detail market that I can guarantee lots of companies are making big profits off of confusing the average person with so many names and options available. Love seeing everyone's work by the way, nothing like a fully detailed car reflect and shine.

The sprays don't last as long because they don't actually physically and chemically bond to the paint like an actual coating does.
I use CP's Reload and love it, but even though it does have Si02 in it, it's not the same. Us professionals know this, but unfortunately most don't and believe it's the same thing as a coating. It's not.
Don't get me wrong, they definitely have their place and work as intended. Depending on which coating I apply, I will top it with Reload. Reload helps against water spotting which is the crux of any coating.

I have not used this Wolfgang product so I can not comment on how it behaves or how well it performs.
One thing to remember is that Wolfgang, Pinnacle, Blackfire, DP Detailing are Autogeek house brands and they are often rebranded within another brand. These are mostly aimed for ease of use.

Question for the pros on here, what are you go to for micro fiber towels. Looking for a great brand to go with for wiping off polishes, waxes, and detail mists. The stuff I get now from auto geeks seems to leave little fibers behind that are noticeable especially on glass.
Thanks
Thanks

Just ceramic, it will only bond to a grease, silicone free surface. If you applied a wax, the coating would not bond.
As far as waxing over coating..... it would be very unnecessary and defeat the purpose of coating. IF and probably minimal the wax were to bond to the coating you would be loosing all the good characteristics of the coating as in water beading, hydrophobics, protection, gloss ect.

Do you apply the coating on glass also or use a specific ceramic coating for the glass.

Thanks going to ordering some today, also might be stupid question but does anyone layer with ceramic coating? Meaning do you do all the prep then a sealant then ceramic then wax? Or just prep work do a correction on the paint and straight to ceramic and nothing else?
Nobody is saying not to apply a wax over a coating, you technically can. But you have negated all of the properties the coatings offers. Self cleaning as one of the most important.
As far as layering, follow the manufacturers recommendations when applying the coating.
Flybyforte is a nice dedicated glass coating. One of my favorites to use.

Tried Kamikaze Zipang for the first time on a blue Gt350. The polishing obviously has a lot to do with clarity and looks but I really love this coating.....a lot ! Definitely pricey but a amazing product.
