Is this just a spray on and rinse off product ?
It is mate. Very like there old spray wax. Smells the same and not recommended to use it on a warm day if it drys it’ll stain plastics and glass just make sure to dry the car off well. I can get you a bottle if you want let me know. 👍🏻 I’ve used it on a car that had zero protection with good results.

Hasn’t been polished or waxed in over 2 years. Applied one coat of Anachem Hybrid on Thursday after a standard wash.

It’s definitely a 10metre car currently.

You can't use ceramic on film but Gtechniq brought out a PPF specific hydrophobic coating called Halo. Very simple to use, quite similar to using a regular sealant really only in smaller sections. Could easily use it at home.

Some PPF's have a hydrophobic coating built in though.

As far as after care, any Si02 based detail spray will be fine and any pH balanced chemicals will be grand for washing

Perfect thanks for the heads up on that,

Im looking at a car thats been detailed and ceramic coated in the last 6 months. At that time it had XPEL PPF applied and then Kamikaze Surface Film Coating over the top? Is this just hydrophobic then I take it?

Yea just hydrophobic, XPEL is a self healing PPF so your all good on that front. Anachem Hybrid will be spot on with it and if you use articulate just dilute to to half the strength you normally would :grinning:
