Thank you! That does make sense. I understand the steps for surface prep for the first coat - and I am ready to do that (have everything ready to go). I'm confused about how that prep changes once there is a base layer of the ceramic spray, even if it's weak. Do you know? What removes it fully so the next prep steps work properly?

Thanks Trap. What are you planning to do when you see your Jeep's spray coating bites the dust and you want to reapply it? Do you need to repolish to remove 100% of the old spray? Or just respray after a nice wash and decontamination? Thanks

Hi all, new here. I just got a brand new 2022 honda civic. I have been contemplating my protection strategy. I have some questions my google sleuthing can't answer. 1. If I chose the graphene ceramic spray kit (which I already bought, almost on a whim :/) what does that mean for me after it "wears off" in about a year? Is it truly gone or what do you do if there is still some left on the car? Forced to polish again even if no issues with the clear coat? 2. If I chose just something normal like a typical sealant or even hybrid solutions ceramic wax spray coating, and applied that regularly, would I run into reapplication issues if I didn't remove the old material? I don't want to put myself in a position where in order to maintain my protection I am forced to polish the car again and again every year. I'd rather evaluate when the time comes, and decide to polish when needed, meanwhile reapplying the protection as needed as well.
