You are absolute right that I had trouble with deciding when to buff off. It was quite cold and my garage was dark so I couldn't tell very well whether it flashed. I left it there a bit longer than the recommended 1-2 mins just to be sure that the coating has bonded.

I did two coats and finished off with Reload. My arm was sore as hell after all the buffing

I had some leftover but instead of coating the rims, I decided to do a little bit of A|B experiment by coating half a hood of my M4 with Cquarts and the other half with Meguiars hybrid liquid wax. I wanted to see in real life how ceramic coating compares to wax. Anyway, that's another story for another time.
LOL! Interested to see the results in like 9 months.

You can get cheap flood lights on a stand for $100 and be super happy. Just go with 6k - 6.5k if you are doing dark and 4k if lighter. They have switchable which is what I use.

I can't believe you did that well without lightning. Amazing.
