Migliore Strata Coating: High Gloss SiO2 Ceramic Coating & Car Sealant

I have been detailing cars for years and if I'm honest I wanted a product that gives an amazing shine and water beads and sheets of the car really well, this product really delivered. the shine was amazing and I'm a week in after first applying the product and I only wash the car with water and a wash mitt as the dirt washes of with ease. Remember to put in the preparation before applying. This product won't stop the car getting dirty but it will make life so easy when cleaning and gives an amazing long lasting shine. Highly recommend this product

2 coats on my camaro. Fairly easy to use . We will see how long it last. A bit price but overall I'm happy

I recently purchased a 2016 Camaro 1SS and wanted to protect it and keep it shiny. I've been seeing more people starting to use ceramic coat applications and decide to give it a go. During my research, I came across the Migliore line of products and decided to give it a go as it was reasonably priced and offered a year's protection. I received the kit and spent the morning prepping the vehicle for application by doing some light paint correction and cleaning. Once I was happy with the finish, I applied the Strata coat per the directions. In 2x2 sections, I did the whole car, wiping off the excess and then buffing out the area I just applied the coat to. The effects were immediate and dramatic. As I progressed, I kept looking back and marvelling at the amazing shine I left on each section I just finished. It was a very easy process but the results were incredible. The finish is just brilliantly bright and vibrant. Truly impressive. The true test was the following day. After sitting at work all day, there was a decent layer of dust all over my car. Once back home and in the garage, I broke out the California car duster and gave it a dusting. I then followed it up with a few spritzes of detail spray and wiped down the finish. It was as clean and shiny as when I finished applying the Strata coating and had it all buffed up. Took me 10 minutes, tops. That's the kind of finish I was looking for. I'm just wondering now how long the Strata coating will last. It says a year. We shall see...

An absolutely amazing product, definitely worth the money. I've typed up my own experience after using this product on my SUV to include some additional tips and suggestions. If anyone from Migliore reads these reviews, PLEASE strongly consider including a dropper or pipet with each purchase of the product. After watching Migliore's instructions on how to use this product on their Youtube video, obviously it is necessary to completely wash and dry your vehicle. One thing they did not mention is that it is vital that you clay your vehicle thoroughly at every location that you intend to apply this product. After you've clayed the vehicle once, do it again. I say this for emphasis because this process is very time consuming and you don't want to have to redo it. Ensuring you have all the dirt and debris removed before beginning is vital. For an average sized vehicle, expect to spend about 3 hours working on applying the Strata coating. The next revision to instructions is do NOT simply tip the bottle upside down onto the applicator. This is not necessary and generally wasteful. Purchase an eye dropper or pipet first, put around 12-15 drops onto the applicator. I found that this amount easily covers the 2x2 section Migliore describes in their instructions, and in some cases depending on the surface and location, I was able to cover about a 2x3 section on the vehicle. You can of course vary the number of drops you use based on your comfort level and area of where you are applying the product. !!!!BONUS FEATURE!!!! The Strata coating has one feature that was not mentioned anywhere in the instructions or even discussed that I observed. Do you have plastic fenders, bumpers or parts on the vehicle that have been accidentally stained when you were applying a polish at some prior time? And then despite your best efforts of trying to wash it off, it never comes off? I had this problem and simply accepted that it was going to remain like that. Oh no!! After testing this product on the surface of one area that had been previously stained with polish, this product removed the stains instantly!! At first I thought maybe it would not last simply because it was a new application of the product and after a couple of hours would fade away, revealing the old stains yet again. NO! After leaving the vehicle in the garage overnight, the next morning I checked again and the stains are still completely gone restoring those plastic areas to look just like brand new. And all it took was an extra minute of my time to apply the product to that area. I did not even bother buffing the plastic with the cloth afterward. Once you've finished applying this product to your vehicle, you can't use the applicator again later after it's dried. What you can do however is place a microfiber cloth around the applicator and then use it on your next vehicle. But of course remember to throw away that cloth after it has dried. The end result? In the morning after the vehicle had sat overnight "curing" as they state in the video, I was presented with a vehicle that had an absolutely incredible gloss and shine to it. Just running my fingertips along the hood was like something you might only find on the most detailed show cars after hours of precise waxing by a detailer. I had to keep reminding myself that I never even put any wax on the vehicle at all. And I couldn't even see any streaks left by my fingertips as I ran them along the surface! This product is easily worth the asking price, just be prepared to spend several hours working on your vehicle in order to do it right.

The product is ok at best does NOT worth the $130 price tag. I bought it because the glowing reviews but I think they might have tricked me because Amazon removed all the good reviews now.

I had read the reviews for this product and was very excited to try it out as I was looking for a product that would keep my BMW X5 looking freshly polished. I had done all the 3 step prep cutting, buffing and polishing to get the finish looking flawless. A day after I had finished all that work my neighbour was having an exterior wall painted and with white paint and hundreds of tiny white paint specs were ALL over my vehicle. I then took it to one of the most respected detailers in the city and they did another 3 step cutting buffing and polishing (3 guys for 6.5 hrs) getting the paint flawless. So there wasn't a hairline scratch to be found anywhere on my vehicle. I put the car in our heated shop and it sat overnight and I applied the Strata exactly as instructed. Very impressed with how easily it went on but I didn't notice any miraculous transformation in gloss or shine, I mean the thing already looked flawless so I wasn't necessarily expecting to be blown away by the change but I kind of expected a bit of a bump in gloss. I let the car sit in the heated shop for another 12hrs after the application to cure. The hydrophobic properties were quite impressive as it rained the first drive I had it out. I got very dirty so I took it to a manual wash with my microfiber mit and washed it carefully by hand and was impressed with how easy it was to clean. Fast forward about a month and its been touchless washed about 3 times and I've used mcguiers ultimate detailing spray and grigots garage detailing spray in between washes to keep the car always looking its best. I even applied a coat of mcquiers yellow wax on top to add to the protection and gloss. I have to say I'm a bit dissapointed in the products ability to prevent swirl marks or hairline scratches given that its been only touchless washed and detail sprayed using only new microfiber towels. For the price which I find extremely high in Canadian (79 would be more appropriate but $135 is a lot for a coating and therefore I'd expect it to really really impress me. The hairline scratches became so noticable that I re polished the hood and applied a competitor coating that cost me $69 at Canadian Tire so we will see how that compares and holds up to this. I really wanted to be blown away as so many others had said, however after a month to have its hydrophobic properties noticeably reduced (it beads but it does not just roll off like it did at first, I haven't noticed that I've needed to clean it any less and the presence of hairline scratches and swirl marks that simply weren't there when it was applied have me left feeling I didn't get my $135 bucks worth. I'll try to remember to give an update in a month after I applied the cheaper competitor product to do a fair comparison, If the manufacturer wants to discuss the matter with me I would be willing to try redoing the job if they want to send me another bottle of the coating but I definitely would not spend another $135 bucks myself and look for other products instead.
