But does it live up to the hype? I took the time to give this product a test and refresh the existing coating layer on my vehicle.<\/p>\n<h2>Pros:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Easy to apply:<\/strong> Ceramic Gloss is very user-friendly. Just make sure the surface is clean, apply the Ceramic Gloss to an applicator or the surface, and wipe away with a microfiber towel.<br \/>\n<strong>Effective:<\/strong> Ceramic Gloss does a good job of adding gloss and shine to paintwork. It also leaves behind a slick surface that can help repel dirt and water, while lasting up to 6 months.<br \/>\n<strong>Pleasant scent:<\/strong> Unlike some other products, Ceramic Gloss has a pleasant scent which makes application that much more enjoyable.<br \/>\n<strong>Affordable:<\/strong> Compared to other spray on ceramic products, Ceramic Gloss is a very affordable option. At $19.99, it is a budget-friendly way to give your car a nice shine.<\/p>\n<h2>Cons:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Durability:<\/strong> While Ceramic Gloss is easier to apply than traditional ceramic coatings and lasts a good amount of time for the type of product it is, it should not be confused as a standard coating. Traditional ceramic coatings can last for years, while Ceramic Gloss may only last a few months.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DIY-Detail-Ceramic-Gloss-Beads.jpeg\" alt=\"DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss Beads\" width=\"980\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DIY-Detail-Ceramic-Gloss-Beads.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DIY-Detail-Ceramic-Gloss-Beads-300x73.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DIY-Detail-Ceramic-Gloss-Beads-768x188.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Overall:<\/h2>\n<p>DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss is a good option for car owners who want an easy way to add shine and protection to their paintwork. It is easy to use, affordable, and leaves behind a great-looking finish. However, if you are looking for the most durable protection possible, you will need to look into a true ceramic coating application. If you do go that route, Ceramic Gloss is a fantastic topper for more gloss, depth, and protection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some other things to keep in mind:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be sure to wash your car thoroughly before applying DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss. Any dirt or contaminants on the paint will prevent the product from bonding properly.<\/li>\n<li>Use a microfiber towel that is clean and high-quality.<\/li>\n<li>Apply Ceramic Gloss on a cool surface and preferably in a shaded area. Avoid applying it in direct sunlight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boosting Protection with DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":42677,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1151,38,40],"tags":[1234,3792,3730,499,236],"class_list":{"0":"post-42637","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-coatings","8":"category-protection","9":"category-sealants","10":"tag-ceramic","11":"tag-ceramic-gloss","12":"tag-diy-detail","13":"tag-protection-2","14":"tag-sealant"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DIY-Detail-Ceramic-Gloss-Featured-Image.jpeg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1kPO7-b5H","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42637"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42637\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42675,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42637\/revisions\/42675"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
