In need of a shrinking gun to zap a plaid with.
He likely knows his product. Some of them care about temp way more than others.
my biggest do is follow the manufacturers recommendations on cure times. (I didn’t drive my car for a week as the documentation said something like 5-7days no chemicals. Which for me means no driving given the bugs down here.
it was totally worth it. Bug guts wash right off, dirt falls right off with a regular hose.

then it's a perfect time. I can leave the car in the garage for a week, given I'm WFH. It'll probably cure fast in there given our high temps.
Make sure you know ALL the details about the warranty. Many ceramic installers have common things that will void the warranty like automatic car washes, not washing the car regularly, not using the maintenance stuff, etc.
will do. I'll probably be handwashing past this point (put my son to work!) I hate the neutral issue.
Here's the manu. site Simoniz GlassCoat Protects Vehicles Paint & Interior | GlassCoat. Can't find instructions but seems like a good product, apparently the 1st ceramic ?
Doesn't look that different yet. But he said after it cures it should. The paint swirls are gone though! Gave me a bottle for touch ups but no written instructions. Should have touched up a few rock chips, but he said you can do after.
We shall see...

You might want to lookup a couple of YouTube video on how to properly was a car after getting ceramic coating. There is a specific technique and if you don't do it right the paint swirls will return.
Oof, that guys doesn’t sound like the greatest. ALL paint problems need to be corrected BEFORE you apply the ceramic. You cannot correct the paint now without removing the ceramic which will require you to use an abrasive. Then the ceramic would need to be reapplied to that area.

There are a bunch of Chemical Guys videos that highlight products and washing techniques. If you look up YouTube video for car washing techniques most are the same or very similar, it's just the products that vary. In the end you will have to decide what products to go with and then implement the proper techniques. Chemical Guys has a full line of products and a lot of videos on how to properly use them, but I also like ONR (Optimum No Rinse) as a product as well, and there are a lot of videos out there on what ONR is and how to use it.
