SHINE ARMOR Fortify Quick Coat – 3-in-1 Ceramic Coating Spray (8oz) | Waterless Wash, Shine & Protection | Streak-Free, Hydrophobic Car Wax for Paint & Trim

This is the first time I've tried a waterless wash/wax spray. Prior to this I'd been using my power washer/foam gun to wash the car, which worked well but was a lot of work to not even get a "fresh wax" look. My initial concern with waterless wash/wax was that it wouldn't really "clean" the car but just cover up or spread around the ick. Additionally, I wasn't confident it would clean glass as well as a wash or glass cleaner. After reading the reviews of several different sprays though, I decided it would be worth a shot. This one stood out from the others in the reviews -it seemed to give consistent results and not leave streaks behind. And yes, it worked exactly as expected. Easy to apply, and the instructions were straightforward. There's a lot of physical labor that goes into getting it done correctly (that or I'm fat), but I still took some shortcuts. I sprayed larger areas and then wiped them down, opposed to the recommended 'small' areas. As long as you move quick enough with the drying, it doesn't seem to make a difference. It certainly sped things up and I still got great results (no streaks, no gunk left behind, great shine). Funny story: When I was working on the hood, I set the bottle down on a section that I'd already waxed. The bottle slid off the hood lol. That would not have happened on an unwaxed section. Slick, shiny, and appears to cover up swirls. My compact SUV used up about half the bottle for one wax. I applied it in my garage, at night, with no issues. My car is black so, if there were going to be any issues applying it, it would've happened to me. I went through 6 of the 12"x12" microfiber cloths (3 wet, 3 dry) that I purchased for this. The wet ones were nice and dirty which was a relief given my initial concerns. The glass was spotless. 0 streaks. Since I was applying it in a half-lit garage, there were a couple spots that I touched up on, but that was likely user error and had nothing to do with the product. Depending on how long it lasts (this is Day 1), this could be a product that I use long term. I saw one review that said it lasted two months, but with their being rain and snow in my area I'm interested to see how long it lasts. If it lasts a month I'll be more than happy. I'll update this when it's time to re-apply the next coat. So far though, easily a 10/10. Hopefully they start selling refills of this in Gallon size, because 16oz won't last long.

To start: I did not receive this product free, nor was I compensated in any way. It’s a shame this has to be said. In full transparency, I used this on on an 8 month old 2018 Mazda CX-5 with a premium factory paint (Soul Red Crystal). The paint is pretty impeccable condition, so if you’re using this on an older car, you may have more noticeable results (whether good or disappointing, depending on your paint quality.). Overall, I think this is an above average quick detailer spray, albeit a slightly pricy one. I do think the shine quality is a notch above something like Griot’s, but just barely. Product applied easily and wiped off easily with absolutely no hazing or streaking. Bonus points that you can use this to treat your wheel, windows, and trim as well. Added a slightly deeper depth to the paint, but no more than a full claybar and coat of quality wax would do (though this is less work). As I spent a few hours washing the car and about twenty minutes applying this, you’ll have to wait for an update as to how well this “ceramic” spray beads up water as I’m not undoing my work! That may change it to a 4/5 star review if it sheets off well. I don’t know that I’d spend $20 again on this. The results are decent but not as awe-inspiring as viral marketing may lead you to believe. Take that at face value, as my car’s paint is nearly brand new and we’ll maintained, so your mileage may vary. Nothing is a replacement for a day’s worth of clay barring and waxing. UPDATE: after applying two coats of this a few weeks ago, we had a late-season snowstorm Saturday, followed by constant rain. I added additional photos today to show how much this product beads water. I was floored. I have never waxed this car since I leased it last August- it never beaded up this well. I’ve adjusted to five/five stars. I recommend without hesitation.

I ordered this product, not knowing what to expect. I’m disabled so I can’t use a wax that takes a lot of muscle to rub into the car and then wait for it to dry and rub it off. I have to say this was as simple as it gets spray it on wipe it off. My car was left. Very very shiny. I can’t say anything negative about this product. I’m very pleased with it.

An easy to use way to clean up and shine your project to look great fast. Good Durability. Great value.

This was easy to use on a white vehicle but not so much on the black. After driving in the rain, it wears off pretty quick. I'll be trying something else next time. Good shine while it lasted.

This 3‑in‑1 car wax spray and ceramic coating works incredibly well. It cleans, shines, and protects all in one step, and the waterless formula makes detailing super quick. The finish comes out glossy and smooth every time. A perfect product for keeping the car looking freshly detailed with minimal effort.

This is an excellent product!! My car has never looked better! Whether it is snow, rain or dirt it comes off extremely easily. My car sits outside year round and applied the product in August and it still looks just as good in December without any carwashes/ extra cleaning! Amazing product 10/10!!

I like the product and has worked very well. Best if applied to a properly prepared car surface. Makes sense really. I am hopeful for long term results on shine and water beading ability.
