More recently I've been using Adam's Graphene coating, just from an ease-of-use perspective. Before that, I used Optimum Gloss Coat. Both of these products are consumer-level "coatings". You need to prep the surface properly (clay, decontaminate paint, polishing if necessary, alcohol wipe)...

On my sports cars I do a frontal area PPF because I go to the track and don't want to respray the front end every few years. I then do my own ceramic coating at home for a very reasonable cost. It doesn't last as long as the pro versions of ceramic coating, but good enough for me. As a...

I had a track-prepped Federal Elise for over 15 years and still own a 981 GT4 since new in 2015. I went to an Emira dealer showing last year. I think people that have owned both Lotus and Porsche are pretty fair about the differences. A couple of additional things I'd like to point out: 1)...
