Can I re-use the little applicator sponge, or do i have to have a bunch of them to put multiple coats on a large suv? I assume the sponge will be crispy when it dries and may scratch if I reuse it. Apologies if this was already answered.

If my vehicles are outside in a not controlled environment is it recommended to apply this product in that situation? Also can it be applied to plastic trim? Thank you

2 Questions ChemGuys: What percentage would you say you correct the paint to, via polishing, before ceramic.... Like 90%? Surely do not strive for 100%? Secondly, what is the actual difference, chemically, between this product and the products that cost 5x more?

What kind of wipe do I need after doing all the steps to apply the ceramic? Thanks…

Hi Brenda! Depending on the condition of the paintwork, it may need a multi-stage paint correct or only a light polish. Try using an Orange Hex-Logic Pad with V36 Cutting Polish as a baseline. Carbon Force should be applied to bare paint and then it can be layered with your favorite glaze, sealant, and/or wax.
