I decided to have my 26 Moab professionally ceramic coated. The detailer I went to uses Adams products (Graphene) and even though Jeep was new, it needed some paint correction. Probably swirled by the automatic dealer car wash. Very happy with the result and worth the cost in my opinion.

Would you mind sharing where you went? Looking for someone good, and willing drive a little.

Sure. I used Ducky Detailing in Ashburn, VA.

I’m not sure I’m quite ready to do all the prep work for a full, more permanent ceramic coating, so right now since my paint is pretty new with only 5k miles on the Jeep, I think I’m going to get my feet wet with the Adam’s ceramic spray. Does anyone know if it’s safe on the black hardtop aswell? And by safe I mean, it doesn’t leave weird residue or look odd after. Also will the coating look pretty good if I just use their surface prep cleaner after a wash and nothing else. My paint is smooth so I don’t believe I should clay bar. I also heard that after clay it’s recommended to polish because it could leave the clearcoat dull. Thanks for all the responses. Sorry for all of the questions!

Invest 20$ for a clay bar and lubrifiant kit. While at it do a strip wash and indeed the surface prep cleaner before. Better get some absorbing towels that you can throw away.
I would not do the mat black top.
While you're there get the booster, you will need it.
If you want, actually you can polish by hand the hood and fender this will provide the must returns on investment.
I usually do this over couples of day take my time and relax.

Too much money and time, just wash and wax occasionally like any other car....er Jeep! LOL

Or have children and let them do the washing and waxing, kinda like when I wanted to borrow the folks car back when lol.

I think it's cheaper to have a vasectomy and have a Beverly Hills shop wash and wax it weekly.
