    I tried it last year. My experience, posted from another threat:

    Did not hold up to Canadian winter very well. I've since gone with a true coating, CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0, and am very happy with it. It's a lot more work and prep, but worth it if you have the time/space to do it.

    I am also trying Griots Ceramic 3-in-1 on another vehicle right now and very pleased with it so far.

    I am looking for a top coat product. 303 says it can be applied in direct sun and that's why I was looking. I'd like to see a review of direct sun application. Probably won't wipe so easily.

    Most of these spray coatings are "okay." I use Adam's version of this. For what it is, I like it. It lasts as long as they claim, it's easy to apply, and it leaves a good gloss and slick finish.

    You'd be better served with one of the higher level ceramic coatings. Either apply it yourself or have a shop do it. Applying yourself is a very laborious process and some of the coatings are finicky. That aside, most folks don't have the skills to do it at the level a real detailing shop can (myself included). Paint correction is a multi-day process. You could put the coating down on whatever if the condition of the paint doesn't bother you. But that's what you'll be stuck with until the coating is removed or worn out.

    I've had an actual ceramic coating done on two cars by professional detailers. As you can imagine, it's not cheap, but the results were amazing. The paint looked better than the day I bought them. A simple hand wash and the car looked like I spent most of a day on it. And that was most of what I did on both cars for the four years I had them.

    Most videos I've seen used 303 as a standalone product. Most 303 videos reviews are done in doors that I have seen.

    If 303 last a long time as a standalone product it may last long as a topper.

    Here's another video that shows 303 along with other products.

    Clay bar first and the 303 gives a great shine that really pops, protection is adequate but easy on easy
    off, highly recommend of all the sprays i've used to really brighten up your paint.

    I'm just finishing off a bottle of Jescar Ceramic Spray Wax. I thought it was great. Protection is on par with what I'd expect out of a spray on product. Nice slick paint feel. Super easy to use and only like 20 bux. I think the bottle lasted a little more than a year, using on 2 cars.
