So, just applied 2 coats of 10H ceramic coating. I attached pictures of my work.
1 wash
2 clay bar
3 ceramic coating x2
Procedure took about 3 hours but I think it worth it.
All pictures in order of work

I'm Pretty sure that you have to let the ceramic cure between coatings. I'm sure you read the instructions. A Lot of You tube video's mention 24- 48 hours or even longer to cure.
It sure looks nice, take some photos out in the sun.

I'm sure I did read instructions. Different products got different cure time. Thera are so many products on the market. And they all smell the same.... RainEx. No MSDS included with any products. So I can't guaranty that there are actual graphene. Purchase was based on Amazon reviews.

I hope it turns out well for you. Most ceramic/graphene coatings take A LOT more work than that. The first couple of steps take well over a few hours. Why 2 coats? If properly applied you only need one to get the job done. Most ceramics aren't meant to be layered.

Yes. Some does. Again, followed instructions. Vehicle got 10 miles on it. Only drove from dealership to my garage. Clay bar removed majority of imperfections. I had no swirl marks on it.
Pictures attached of old and new paint. You can see swirls, rounded paint imperfections. Usually removing that is a biggest part of the job.

A coating only needs clean bare paint to adhere properly... A chemical (iron remover & mineral deposit remover), clay treatment and paint enhancement/ correction can/ will yield a deeper gloss but there is a point of diminishing returns. I'm pretty sure Scott HD will have a Foretoo msds as he features it in many of his vids, also check out his spreadsheets. Most consumer coatings can be re-coated in about 1 hour so you should be fine. If you are happy with the results from your products & process that is all that matters. It looks good to me.

Wow. I've never seen a "multi-surace" coating before that in their listing boasts of it's "dlickness". They also claim to protect against crushed stones...which it will not do.
