Default Ceramic coating
I decided to try ceramic coating on my 2018 ultra limited. Gota say, the results are impressive.

Which brand coating did you use? Was it fairly easy to wipe off and polish?

Nice shine. Hope you will give some feedback on how it holds up over a few washes etc.

Well,I got the bike put back together and it's still shiny. Take 48 hours for the ceramic coating to fully cure and no washing for at least 5 days. I'm hopeful I will be able to take it for a ride sometime this weekend.
