Its expensive wax. If your paint or bodywork isn't good, it won't really do anything for your car.

hello people: Speaking of paint if it sucks you can't really do anything to it but repaint correct? On my 86T the hood paint is fading and it was repainted once in the past.

A large portion of the shine you see from professional ceramic coating applications IS paint correction before application. The industry is changing from the high end only to a certain amount of ceramic product being in various levels of diy products. Lifespan of product is a big difference.
A true ceramic seals the paint from breathing. This seems to be acceptable on new car forums where cars have thin *ss paint, but on the SPI forums where thick paint is freshly sprayed & can still offgas for years, it's an absolute no no. Paint forum guys use detailer spray & or carnuba based waxes only. Products labeled paint shop safe, such as most correction polishes, meguiars #7 showcarglaze etc, give a good true shine improvement, but don't seal paint or leave anything wax & grease paint remover can't clean off for new paint. Ceramics, like the old liquid glass can potentially be a painter's mightmare. Good carnuba can last for up to a few months.
