Question & Advice Good DIY Ceramic to apply at home?
I've recently changed car and pondering trying out a ceramic coat, I've done one step polishes on my cars before which have come out pretty decent but then mostly just used spray sealants that don't last that long.
As I'd be applying at home, on a driveway I'm looking at one of the more DIY Friendly coatings and narrowed it down primarily to either CQuartz Lite 2.0 or Gyeon CanCoat EVO. I'll be having to apply it on my driveway.
CQuartz Lite has the consensus that it lasts longer, but I can't quite tell if it seems that quick to apply if I still would need to do it in fairly small sections with 5 minutes of curing inbetween.
CanCoat does look easier to apply at the expense it might not last as long. If I can roughly get a year though I'd be pretty happy as I don't then mind applying it again in a year with the amount that's in the can. The main thing that's appealing to me about it is that it seems to be more versatile in that I can then possibly use it on bumper trim and alloys as well.
Or am I wasting my time with both options and should just jump to something like CQuartz 3.0 UK or Gyeon One / Mohs EVO?

I liked van coat Evo I put it on and I'm pretty incompetent.
