The latest product from leading US car care behemoth, Mothers is CMX Ceramic Spray Coating.<\/p>\n

Having heard the hype about CMX via various YouTube videos and American friends, I was looking forward to trying it out.<\/p>\n

Even though I love cleaning my cars and Carol calls me an \u2018addict\u2019 I have tended to shy away from ceramic coatings. I\u2019m a bit scared of them, to be honest. They can give outrageously effective and long-lasting shine but they can also be a pig to apply and for the best results they need to \u2018cure\u2019 for 12-hours and mustn\u2019t get wet during that time.<\/p>\n

Not always easy to achieve when living in England and you don\u2019t have an empty garage! As a result of all that and after hearing some horror stories of them being almost impossible to remove, in a few cases, I\u2019ve left them alone.<\/p>\n

Nano, quartz ceramic, call it what you will, the main ingredients in these products is Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), which is basically liquid ceramic and Silicon Dioxide (Si02), or ceramic glass.<\/p>\n

Put these two together and they are a powerhouse combination, but as I said, can be difficult to work with and are almost always very expensive.<\/p>\n

Some clever people have started producing purely Si02 sprays, as these give brilliant results but take the difficult-bit (the Ti02) out of the equation. Some of these are great but will always be a compromise.<\/p>\n

From what I believe, and Mothers claim, this the first affordable, easy to use, ceramic spray coating to hit the market, therefore, looking forward to using it.<\/p>\n

The label is very detailed but extremely informative and I set about my car with it, I did take the time to strip off previous waxes etc and used a clay bar to remove impurities in the paint.<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t call it an \u2018easy-on-easy-off\u2019 product but as a little goes a long way I found, but it is fairly simple to work with. Spray a little on, a panel at a time, work it in, leave it to \u2018cure\u2019 for a couple of minutes, and the, buff off. There were a few smears left behind but a bit of extra elbow grease soon got rid of them, and there was a little bit of chalky beads, to be honest, but nothing too dramatic, although some might not like that. They didn\u2019t cause me any upset.<\/p>\n

In any case, the resulting shine was insane especially when I added extra layers of the product or as car detailers call \u2018stacking\u2019 and I have to concur with Mothers claims of a \u2018deep glass like\u2019 finish.<\/p>\n

Typical cost in the UK is \u00a324.98<\/p>\n
