Ceramic Coating for CF Roof

Any recommendations on a ceramic coat product to use on the carbon fiber roof?

I have Frozen paint, so I used a ceramic coat product formulated specifically for matte paint, so need something else for the roof.

Thanks in advance!

Carpro reload, Adam’s Graphene Spray, Gyeon Pure. There’s so many to choose from, but stick with consistent/reliable brands.

I just tried Ammo reflex pro for the first time and I have to say, I'm impressed.I did the whole car myself and it was super easy to apply.

Nice, did you do any paint correction before or just wash it? Kind of tempted to do it myself too

None needed. The car was brand new and the paint was pretty immaculate. I just washed it, dried it and applied the coating.

Exotics are delivered with paint imperfections and need paint correction. Paint correction (minimum light polish) is also always recommended when applying a coating (not spray product, but that will still help). Prep is the key to getting the best results out of a coating and maintenance is how you get the manufacturer claim. Point being if Ferraris are delivered with not perfect paint then BMW's cars aren't either.

If you don't care that is totally fine, but this is the "proper" way to go about installing a coating even if you do it yourself. I also would still recommend sticking with more well known brands. Larry is a chemist and enthusiast, but I find it strange for such an "ocd detailing" person his line has never expanded compared to the competition and his products never get any press. Not saying they are bad or you will go wrong, but stick with the companies that are consistent and have been more transparent with their products. Just my two cents for future visitors reading this thread.
