Really? Titanium? Not being a douchepickle, really asking...what does it do to enhance or help with the wax/ceramic process and result?

I just have never heard of that before.

Not sure how other people do this, but I use Meguiar's Gold Class Quik Wax spray after each car wash on cars that are ceramic coated (CarPro CQuartz Reserve).

I find that using Quik Wax spray increases slickness on the surface of the paint, which means less frictional coefficient and less likelihood of rock chips, even without PPF.

Every 2 months or so, I also use CarPro Reload to replenish silicon dioxide on the CQuartz-coated cars.

I had purchased their glass cleaner, thinking it would be awesome. It was over $50. Total waste. Didn't work any better than Gyeon and also was flammable (had tons of alcohol in it). Overpriced garbage.

That's fine. The Wax doesn't hurt the ceramic coating it just is another top coat that actually protects the Ceramic coating a little. But after a while you might want to do a wash with higher ph soap to remove the wax coatings then do your Reload wash.

The titanium just makes it super shiny and reflective. It’s not good if you want a warm look but works great on my car.

Cool, thanks. It's warm enough here and I like shiny versus warmth on my car.

I find that Meguires Hybrid Ceramic wax is the easiest wax that I have ever used, has the longest staying power and the best protection. I just did a 1,400 mile RT from Houston to Big Bend/Marfa/Marathon and the morning after getting back, all the bugs came off with soap and water. While many profess to the all ceramic applications at high dollar, I am amazed at the cost effectiveness of this product.
