I had a friend do it whilst working away. Bought the coating myself from a company in America call Avalon King product is armorshield ix. And wheels coated in c5 wheel armor. Coated the wheels from new so cleaning is easy otherwise they would be a nightmare :)

I have also used the Avalon king coating - with full clean and wipe down with isoprop it took a day per car. Still working well after 12 months on the Z but my other car an X2 does more mileage and will need redoing this autumn.

Re-doing or adding Si-O2?

The protection should last a lot longer than 1 year, the hydrophobic part not so hence the topup of that only.

I had my Z4 flatted, 3 stage polished and then had a 5 Year Gtechniq Crystal Serum with a hydrophobic coating topper. Beading is unbelievable. I will have to go back in 2 half years to have the hydro topping topped up but that's it.
