When I did my CX-5 last year it took over 15 hours not counting the cure time for the ceramic coating.

Trying to get myself psyched up for that event. I have to detail my wife's car next which will be a 10+ hours of cleaning to prepare for the coating. P&S Beadmaker has good reviews on Amazon and Detailing pages. RejeX (pronounced rejects) is an advanced, ultra-slick coating system developed to give a high gloss finish that seals and protects painted surfaces. I just got another top coat product that I plan on trying soon. (maybe one day I will have a CUV again that doesn't have loads of plastic trim. I have not used the Wolfgang in a while and probably will not after finally getting it off the black plastic. Now days I am using coatings and then use Opti-Seal to top coat every so often. It can be used on plastic and glass as well with no adverse reaction. After a good car prep, which is the case for all top treatments, it goes on easy, flashes (takes a couple seconds), and then wipes off with microfiber towels with little effort. The next sealant that I purchased was Opti-Seal. Opti-Seal is a WOWA (Wipe on walk away) product that does not need to be buffed off (Although if you apply to thick it will streak and you will need to wipe off the excess with a microfiber). AN INCREDIBLY EASY TO USE SPRAY COATING THAT UNLOCKS DEEP GLOSS & PRODUCES A SUPER HYDROPHOBIC SURFACE THAT MAKES MAINTENANCE EFFORTLESS. M21 is a conventional sealant that you have to apply, wait for it to haze, and buff it off. It lasts weeks on the paint and looks good. The benefit of Opti-Seal over M21 2.0 is time savings. 2010 Triple Black - Built Motor Custom Pistons, Manley Rods, ARP 2000 Fasteners, Beehive Valve Springs, CNC Ports, Custom IW Lower FRPP TVS S/C, Ported Plenum, 2.59 Upper, Ken B Tunes L&M T/B, Cobra Jet 80 Injectors, DivisionX Fuel Rails, KB B-A-P, Kooks Headers, Magnaflow Magnapacks McLeod RXT Clutch, MGW Shifter, N2MB WOT Box, Steeda Intake, Drive Shaft, Upper & Lower Control Arms, D/S Loop. If you do it shows up as white after several days and it is extremely hard to remove from that textured plastic.

The effort was about the same as wax in terms of applying and removing, but make sure you don't get it on the black plastic. It was the very first sealant that I have used and I started with my CX-5 back in 2013.
