Kevin based on your review and experience I went all in and purchased the ceramic coating and all the preliminary products to prep the paint. Washed it yesterday while you were out enjoying the beautiful sunny day! Gotta say washing and cleaning it was the hardest part of the process.
Today I double checked everything in the garage under portable flood lights so I could get off any bug residue that didn't wash off and is darned hard to see otherwise. Then I used the prep polish which cleans the paint of old wax and then put the ceramic coating on. It really was much easier than I thought it might be but then I didn't strip my Tri-Glide like you did your Softtail, lol.
Anyway it looks good and I hope my results are as spectacular as yours. I plan to do it to my SUV next but that will be a much bigger and more involved project just to get the paint prepped.
Thanks much for this thread or I might not otherwise have done this.
