Clean off residue with Hydrosilex Rewind
Final polish with Carpro Essence
303 Graphene spray application
The streaks are gone, the hood is shiny and hydrophobic.
Of course, now I have a ceramic coating (with a claimed 3-year durability) on almost all of the car, with one-year durability for the graphene on the hood.
I figure that I`ll evaluate through next spring. If I like the graphene, I`ll do a real polish on the rest of the car to remove the ceramic - then apply graphene to get 12 months of protection.
If I don`t like the 303 Graphene, I`ll do a real polish to remove the ceramic - and use whatever ceramic (CQuartz UK 3.0?) is getting good reviews at that time to re-coat.
Of course, now I`m looking at that tube of Gyeon Q2 Wax in my box and wondering, "What happens if you put a wax topper with fluorine on top of a graphene-infused coating?"
