Awesome job Dan! Nothing warms my cold, black heart like someone stepping up for a helpless animal. 
 
Hope she finds lots of love in her new home! 

The short answer is paint sealant and ceramic coatings have very little in common. Long answer below  
 
Sealants are basically synthetic waxes which offer a longer amount of protection (months) over something like Buttery wax or the paste waxes Adam's offers. They have to be reapplied every few months, depending on conditions, and offer no scratch protection or additional "hardness".
 
Ceramic coatings are a completely different animal. They are super long lasting (read: years) and are bonded to the paint and form a glass like layer of extra hardness. They help resist scratches and swirls, bird poop damage, fall out, whatever, to a much higher degree. They are hydrophobic meaning they basically repel water. They require your paint to be perfect before you apply them or you just lock in the damage underneath the coating for years (unless you want to polish it all off and start over).
Once the coating is on, no more wax or anything on top as it actually impedes some of the benefits of the coating. Just use the "Boost" when the coating no longer feels super slick, thats it for maintenance basically. 
 
Ceramics are the latest, greatest tech and honestly, when done right, are amazing. You can definitely apply them as a DIY as I am doing it myself. I have a black Z06 now and I am correcting it as we speak to get ready for the paint coating. I have already done the wheels on my wife'a Audi because that thing makes brake dust like you wouldnt believe...
 
Adam's offers different coating kits depending on what you want to coat along with videos on how they work and how to apply them. Give it a shot, I think you will be quite surprised. 

Nice job man and thats a great looking SQ! The coatings are really awesome products. You need to do your wheels and calipers next. Those big Audi's produce a lot of brake dust and are a no fun to clean up. How do I know? My wife has a Glacier White '14 SQ5 with the 21's. She loves it...Sometimes I even get to drive it  

That's a cute pup. I say spray the old man until he learns to manage the towels properly lol Give the dog a treat

It's pretty funny when I hear people (90% of the time, Corvette owners) say that their car had never seen rain or been dirty LOL Maybe not after they owned it but I guarantee if it sat more than 8 hours in the marshalling yard at Bowling Green, it did lol KY weather can be crazy...
 
Anyway, always sad to see them go but MAN do you have a nice replacement. That makes it much better

My dad recently picked up a new C7 from Museum Delivery and in talking to the head detailer/prep manager he told me in not so many words he is NOT impressed with CMagic...
 
 
I have been trying. Living only a few hours away, we frequent the museum and store. They definitely have a display of Adams products now and I am glad to see that. My goal is to get them to PREP the cars with Adams when they do deliveries...Start'em off right!!
 
Apparently, some contract with CMagic is in place but rumor is it may be expiring soon  

Not sure what you are implying here...But carrying your own gun doesn't hurt. 

I am from KY, the Lexington area specifically. I think its a great place to live but I am pretty biased We have horses, bourbon, the UK Widlcats and Corvettes. Close to lots of large cities and we can have magazines of any capacity we want 

Awesome! Good lookin Vette
