What Nexgen claims
Nexgen says the spray is 13% SiO2 and that competitors contain “2% or less.” It doesn’t cite a test or publish one, so treat the figure as the maker’s claim.
On durability, the same page says “several months,” “up to 6 months depending on local conditions,” and in its FAQ “6 weeks to a full year,” with monthly reapplication recommended for best results.
How to apply it
From Nexgen’s product page:
- Start with a clean, dry car, in the shade, on a surface at room temperature or cooler.
- Spray two or three times per panel.
- Spread with a microfiber towel, then buff off the excess with a dry one.
- Nexgen says there’s no cure time.
Where it goes
Nexgen names paint, chrome, glass and windshields, mirrors, headlights, stainless steel, gelcoat, and vinyl, plastic and rubber trim. It says about one ounce covers a sedan and up to two an SUV or truck, and that it’s not a cleaner or a swirl remover. It recommends removing wax first.
It doesn’t say whether it can go over an existing ceramic coating, so check with that coating’s maker or installer.
Compared with a professional coating
A spray like this is upkeep you repeat, not a cured coating rated in years. Nexgen sells a separate product it markets as a three-year DIY coating.
Professional installation
Ask shops what’s in the price
Find installers near you, then ask about the exact product, the prep and which surfaces get coated.
