CCI C12+ Ceramic Coating is a high-performance 9H ceramic coating designed to deliver deep gloss, extreme hydrophobic behavior, and long-lasting protection for all exterior painted surfaces. Whether you're a professional detailer or a serious DIY enthusiast, this advanced formula ensures incredible shine, smoother washes, and years of paint protection.

Key Features & Benefits

🔹 Deep, High-Gloss Finish – Creates a wet, mirror-like shine that enhances depth and clarity on all paint colors.

🔹 Ultra-Durable 9H Protection – Forms a hardened ceramic barrier that resists micro-marring, chemical etching, UV fading, and oxidation.

🔹 Outstanding Hydrophobic Performance – Water beads aggressively and sheets off the surface, making maintenance washes faster and reducing water-spotting.

🔹 Advanced Resin + SiO₂ Chemistry – Uses a next-generation formula for smoother application, extended flash time, and consistent results regardless of skill level.

How to Use

Step 1: Wash the vehicle thoroughly and remove bonded contaminants using a clay bar or synthetic clay tool.
Step 2: Polish the paint as needed to remove swirls or oxidation—coatings bond best to clean, defect-free surfaces.
Step 3: Wipe down panels with an IPA-based panel prep such as P&S Paint Prep to remove oils and residue.
Step 4: Apply several drops of AdvanceGuard Elite to a microfiber or suede applicator.
Step 5: Work in a tight, 2’ x 2’ section using cross-hatch (up/down, then left/right) passes.
Step 6: Allow the coating to flash (typically 45–90 seconds depending on temperature/humidity).
Step 7: Level and remove excess with a high-quality, edgeless microfiber towel.
Step 8: Keep the vehicle dry for 24 hours and avoid washing for 7 days.

Pro Tip:
Apply a second layer 1 hour after the first for added depth, slickness, and hydrophobic performance. Always use fresh microfiber towels to prevent high spots.

It gives the kind of gloss you normally only see from multi-year coatings but remains forgiving enough for first-time installers. We’ve tested it across multiple paint types—from daily drivers to show vehicles—and the slickness and beading are consistently impressive.”
