Both are CarPro products. First you must have a perfectly clean car and free of scratches or swirls. Polish then clay bar. Followed by a thorough 2 bucket wash. It's an all day thing. Getting this done by someone can cost $500 to $1000's depending on paint correction. Once done cleaning is much easier and so is maintaining the shine. Sorry if this is more info than you wanted

Just purchased the same (CQuartz UK) and about to coat both my G05 and G20 - any experience on whether the gloss black trim prices handle the coating well or should I avoid? |
For me it works great. It's all in the person applying it. I self taught my self by watching many videos on YouTube and some trial and error. The videos are very helpful. The many detailers give lots of good tips. I have seen many black cars in person and on here that look spectacular with ceramic coating. As far as CK specifically to black , I have not heard of nor seen any issues. But I would encourage you to your own research so you can feel comfortable. Specifically to plastic trim; Automotive ceramic coatings provide a protective layer and can be applied to nearly any surface, ranging from bare metal to car headlights (made of polycarbonate plastic mainly), vinyl wraps, alloy, and chrome wheels, and yes, even plastic trim. I however use CarPro Pearl in the proper dilution for trim. It's a ceramic coating designed for trim and dashboard. I did use 3.0 on my lights. Hope this helps or maybe gives you more questions. Let me know how it turns out
