Sure, I used the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. Did two coats and it was pretty easy. My only suggestion is to not put too much.. then it takes longer to wipe it off because of streaks.
For the clay bar (towel) I just bought one on amazon. I would recommend finding a higher quality clay towel because mine left black streaks that are a bitch to get out.

Looks pretty solid

RubenX5 · 09-04-2020, 10:40 PM

Went to Sequoia National Forest to camp. Hit some trails which I thought the 22x12 335/25/22 tires in the rear were going to fail me and have me stuck. They did an amazing job out there. That’s the oldest Gravity gas station in the world ( 1928 ). It also happens to be the only one with 91 octane within 100 miles.
