I'll report in a few months on how it holds up on my daughter's black 323Ci and if i still have it the silver S80. Those are the two outside all the time cars. My silver 128i is inside with the Cayman and the boss' SUV (which will get a coat in the next few weeks) so that isnt a valid way to test it.

Plus the bottle is a whole $20. I did 2.5 cars and still have over half left. We didnt do below the molding on the 323Ci to see how it repels dirt. I plan on putting a few more layers on the S80 and 128i after i polish the headlights of the three cars and spray the 4X (i think) coating on them.
All of my cars are inside cars. The kids are both outside, which is why the test on my son's car last week will tell the tale for me. I haven't seen my daughters car yet to be able to coat it.

I did some reading on the ceramic products and you evidently have to remove them with an abrasive method.

In my experience, when you use a clay bar 2.0 on a regular waxed car, the water is sheeting and not beading when I am done. I don't even want to think about removing the ceramic coating.
