Meguiar's Ultimate Ceramic Coating Kit vs Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Starter Kit

Buy the Ultimate Coating Kit if you want a real ceramic coating: a spray-on Si02 layer that beads water for about a year and hides light swirls, with no training needed. Buy the Hybrid Ceramic Starter Kit if you want a full maintenance routine instead of one coating: a wash-and-wax, a spray wax, a detailer and a tire shine. The Coating Kit is the stronger single protection step; the Starter Kit covers more jobs and is easier to live with week to week. Owners of both praise the easy spray-and-wipe application, and the Coating Kit's durability is the main reason to step up.

• Choose the Ultimate Coating Kit if you want one long-lasting ceramic layer on paint, trim, PPF, decals and wheels, and you are willing to prep the paint first for the best bond.
• Choose the Hybrid Ceramic Starter Kit if you want an all-in-one routine for washing, topping up protection and shining tires, and you would rather reapply a spray wax than do a full coating.
