- 1x 30ml ZCoatings 10X SiO2 ceramic coating bottle
- 3x Suede application cloths
- 1x Foam applicator block
- Application instructions
One 30ml kit covers a standard sedan or compact SUV. The formula is concentrated - a little goes a long way.
- Two kits for two vehicles
- Multiple coats on one vehicle
- Extra for wheels, glass, trim, and future touch-ups
Included in your kit: 30ml coating bottle, foam applicator, 5 suede cloths, 3 removal towels, instruction card. (Gloves not included - pick up a box of nitrile gloves at any hardware store for $5)
You'll need to supply:
- Car wash soap
- Clay bar or clay mitt
- Isopropyl alcohol (70% or higher)
- Microfiber towels for drying
- Painter's tape (for sensitive trim)
- Garage or covered space
Available at any auto parts store or Amazon. About $30 total. Don't skip the IPA - it's what removes the polishing oils so the coating actually bonds.
Prep is everything. The coating bonds to clean paint, not the grime you were too lazy to remove. Do the prep. Thank yourself later.
- Wash vehicle thoroughly
- Clay bar to remove bonded contaminants
- Polish if needed to remove swirls/defects
- IPA wipe-down to remove polishing oils
- Apply ZCoatings 10X in small sections using applicator
- Wait for flash (hazing)
- Buff off with clean microfiber
Apply in shade only. 50-80°F, low humidity. Direct sunlight = high spots and regret. Let it cure 24 hours before hitting it with water.
The formula: This isn't wax with a fancy label. It's a concentrated SiO2 ceramic compound that bonds to your clear coat and stays there. Wax disappears in weeks. This lasts years. Washing gets easier, not harder.
10H+ Hardness Rating: The 10H+ rating means your paint actually fights back against swirl marks and wash abuse. No more wincing every time you drag a towel across the hood.
Hydrophobic Barrier: Water beads up and rolls off fast. Grime doesn't stick around. Drying time drops. Your wash routine gets way less annoying.
Up to 5 years: Apply it right, maintain it like a grown-up, and this coating stays bonded to your paint. Wax gives up after a month. This stuff requires actual effort to kill.
Maintenance:
- Wash regularly with pH-neutral soap
- Avoid automatic car washes with brushes
- Use the two-bucket method to prevent swirls
- Top with a silica spray sealant every 3-6 months for maximum longevity

Quick questions
Why is it only 30ml?
Because real ceramic coating is concentrated, not watered down. You're paying for active compound, not a big bottle of filler with ceramic marketing.
Will one bottle cover my car?
Yep. One 30ml kit handles a standard sedan or compact SUV with careful application. Two kits gives you enough for a second vehicle, an extra coat, or coverage for wheels, trim, and touch-ups down the road. Buy 2 for $79.98 (Save $10) - or go big with 3 for $104.97 (Save $30).
How long does it last?
Up to 5 years - if you don't treat your car like a dumpster. Wash it regularly with pH-neutral soap, skip the automatic brush washes, and this coating stays put. Neglect it and yeah, it'll degrade faster. But that's on you.
Is this for professionals only?
Nope. If you can wash a car, clay bar, and follow directions, you can do this. The prep work is what separates a great coating from a mediocre one. Pay attention during prep and the rest is straightforward.
Where do you ship from?
Ships from our HQ in Iowa with fast free shipping (US only).
What prep do I need?
Wash, clay bar, IPA wipe-down. Polish first if your paint has swirls. The coating bonds to clean paint, not dirt. Skip the prep and you'll be sealing in disappointment.
Should I get this or the Diamond?
This is solid SiO2 ceramic - great protection, great price, especially at clearance. Diamond upgrades to polysilazane + real graphene for harder, longer-lasting protection. If you plan to keep your car 3+ years or want the best chemistry available, step up to Diamond. If you want serious protection without the premium, this is your move.
What if I mess it up?
High spots happen - they're fixable. If you catch them within 24 hours, buff them out with a microfiber and some IPA. After 24 hours, you'll need to polish and re-coat that panel. That's why we include extra product. Read the instructions, work in small sections, and don't rush.
