I coated my Range Rover and am very pleased with the results. The car and wheels stay incredibly clean and even when muddy just requires a simple hot water wash down. The risks of creating swirl marks and holograms are minimised, scratch resistance is improved, bird poo damage is minimised and waxing and polishing is now not necessary as the shine is maintained without.
I used Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light, topped off with Exo. Dead easy to apply providing you follow the simple instructions but must be done under cover and temperature ideally kept a 16 - 20 degrees so use of a good sized garage is a must. Not a job to rush as preparation is absolutely key to get the best finish and I took 1½ full days doing this as follows:
Rinse down
Snow Foam with Valet Pro Combo 2 to remove all waxes,silicones, grease etc
Rinse down again.
2 bucket wash to remove any residue
Clay bodywork and wheels and rinse again
Paint correction and machine polish with Farécla G3 compound
Snow Foam with Valet Pro PH neutral, rinse off and dry to remove dust etc from the polishing,particularly in areas around seams and trim.
Then apply treatment iaw the instructions (plenty of videos on You Tube on this) and keep car undercover for minimum 12 hours to allow for curing.
The beauty of using Crystal Serum Light is that if you do boo boo when applying e.g leaving residue liquid to set, it can be easily removed with a single stage machine polish.
IMHO if you don’t have the time or inclination to polish and wax your car this is the way to go
