GOOD QUALITY AND POOR INSTRUCTIONS
It's a good ceramic coating, however, besides the fact Color N drive send you a very nice e beautiful pack, the information about using the product is very poor. You will need to email them to ask about how to use it safely, if you don't have experience on aplying coatings. It seems simple, but it's not !
... Coating System and did not have a problem / Great Product
I followed the direction on this Ceramic Coating System and did not have a problem / Great Product
Amazing product horrible instructions
Great product love the packaging and the speedy delivery but the instructions are bad one video say do one thing another another way I recommend a good wash and clay bar before use for the best results but diffinately would recommend this product
Good product, needs more pre-treatment
Just applied today. After watching a lot of videos to ensure I was doing it properly, it went on easily. My only concern is that I wanted to apply 2 coats, but the video says apply the pre-treatment liberally, I have only enough to do my hood a second time. Also, they say use 7-10 drops of the ceramic, my bottle did not have any way to get that precise. Had to take the lid off and pour on pad, probably used more than needed because there is probably not enough to complete the care again.
I have to wait and see how well it works over the next few weeks, need some precipitation to see. Would have been a 5 star otherwise.
Not bad so far
I bought this sometime in Nov 2017 and used it in the middle of Feb 2018. Even during the cold season, it did not crystallized on me, so that was good. Reading the negative reviews, I was afraid to put this on my new sports car, so I did a test first. I already had Xzilon coating and partial clear bra on the car, so I tested it on the bra, and it turned out fine. Then I did the entire front (hood, grill, front bumper, fender, etc) of my car following the instructions. It seems like this coating requires more steps than ones from other vendors, but it was not so bad. I put the coating on with no issues. I did messed up at one spot on my bra -- there is a thumb-sized smudge that I did not buff out, but the rest of the coated areas look good. I'm going to do the rest of my car next weekend and will do at minimum two layers. If it turns out great, I'll update the review and also upgrade to 5 stars.
Color N Drive Ceramic coating
Instructions video should have a narration instead of music. Found better instructions off YouTube. Product applies easy does create a smoother surface and shine to the paint finish. I would reccomend this product.
The paint needs to be prepped
I didn't have anything to prep my paint so couldn't use the product.
For the packaging 4 stars.
Good enough for government work! lol. Much better than paying $100+
Seems to work well, I have yet to make 2 or more coats but the one coat did make a nice and deep shine. I will be adding more later to see how much deeper it can get ;)
God awful instructions, but seems to be a good product
The instructions... Others have said it; the instructions both in the package and online (including their videos) are very unclear. They talk about wait times that appear to be critical (wait X minutes if at 70 degreesF, wait Y minutes if at 50 degreeF, etc.) but aren't clear where the wait times are supposed to occur. After you "smear" it? After you "wipe" it?... So there was some trial and error.
The product, though: I chose this product because it seems like you can apply it over existing (but very clean) coatings. I've been using another nano ceramic hybrid coating, so my car was already super clean and scratch-free. Some competitors indicate that you should remove coatings and get down to bare paint to bond to it properly. That does not appear to be the case with this stuff because the instructions say you can apply multiple coats for better results.

The package arrived in a very nice box but when I opened it there was a small amount of leak on the ceramic bottle. It seems like the cap wasn’t tightened. Other than this, the product seems to work and it made my white 4C looked so bright. I will test the coating as I drive the car this coming weekend.
Four Stars
Easy to use just applied this past weekend. Will wait to see long term results.
Four Stars
good product, instructions unclear
Fantastic product with excellent results
Fantastic product with excellent results. However, is there finishing product to prevent dust/static build-up? The only advise is - work indoors with a well-lit place so you don't miss spots.
Good Product
It was easy to apply the product but I did not get a glossy 3d look and when I rub my hand on paint It still snags on paint and does not slide also I don't see a glossy thick layer that may protect from scratches, I'll see what happens when it got a scratch. Maybe I've done something wrong but I applied the product as it says on youtube videos. Anyway, even I don't have a confidential layer on my paint, the product does what it says, its very hydrophobic and gets dirty harder.
Very good!! Needed fast
Very good !! Needed fast buffing
looks good ,price is fair
easy to use ,goes on without a hitch,seems to do the job- time will tell,remember one panel at a time,oddly you do not get a slick feel to the paint though it is definitely a great shine
Good coating
Alright so I’ll try and be quick. The prep work sucks, if you’ve never FULLY detailed a car this is going to be a real project, possibly days long. Coating seems good but I only had enough of the pre treatment to do one coat. If you have a big vehicle it’s going to put you in a jam. I’d also recommend going over to the tag company and ordering some real microfibers because the ones in the box are garbage. MAKE SURE YOU LEVEL OFF THE SURFACE, EVERYWHERE. Even in places that are easy to forget like right under your mirror or else you’ll end up with a nice rainbow spot. Up until this point I’ve on my bused synthetic sealants which last around 9 months and while harder to put on are more forgiving. We’ll see if the durability is better with the coatings or if I’ll switch back to the sealant. If this lasts over a year I’d buy it again.
Forgot to wipe off a spot, ruined clear coat on a brand new car.
I was able to do 2 cars with the amount they sent me and both came out looking incredible. Though on the second car I was getting tired and forgot to wipe a spot and didn't realize and it completely ruined the clear coat. I am going to have to get my deck lid resprayed if I ever want it fixed.
Wow!!! Look at that shine
Gave it 4 stars as i just applied it 2 hours ago. Easy to put on and wipe off, the prep is the hard part of the whole process. You gotta correct the paint prior to using this so be prepared to spend some time on that. I didnt even use a quarter of it sonim goingbto add a second coat in the morning. I have 2 other cars to do...hopefull i can get 2 done 2 coats with this bottle. We will see how it holds up
Update: 19Jan2019 just wet wife's car to see beads and it left ALL kinds of water spots that I can't get out...shine is good but water spots like a mofo

I was expecting it to be more slick on the paint surface and more hydrophobic. It does however give an incrediable gloss and shine, especially on black plastics.
