There are many products out there, some that go on fast and easy and last 6 months to the professional applied product that can last 9 years. Adams Ceramic, Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light, Gtechniq Crystal Serum Dark, Ceramic Pro, Cquartz seem to be very popular and do the job well. Ceramic Pro might be the most expensive of the group. Crystal Serum Light depending on the size 50 to 150.00. All can be applied by the owner [Warranties are affected if not done by a shop on some of the products] with time on their hands. The paint correction is the most important process to be done before applying the product. For the longest effect, most protection, Ceramic Pro is the one. For mid protection [5 yrs] and pretty good protection Cquartz, Crystal Serum Light]. For quick install and short protection length, Adams.

What is ceramic pro? A company that does coating or a product you buy ?

I have seen this brand on a few trucks around here and they look awesome, I am not a professional just going by what my eyes and the feel. Very nice on a white Ram so I assume it would look good on any white.

Ceramic Pro is a product that a company sells to the public [mainly businesses that will apply it to keep the warranty in effect]. A Detailer or Bodyshop may use this product in their business offerings.  The Ceramic Pro comes in packages like paint correction, prep the surface, 4 coatings of Ceramic Pro. Each package will vary on the number of coatings and what other service is provided ie are windows or wheels to be done also. Just google Ceramic Pro. It is expensive. With any ceramic coating, I recomment at least getting the front painted bumper and the front section of the hood done in film or XPEL for rock chip protection.

White might be the hardest color to process concerning swirl marks applying the product but it can be done under the proper lights. The coatings application really are not affected by the color. It is the 

person's eyes that are applying the product that are affected mostly. My truck is pearl white, but I had a shop apply my coatings.

I believe Car Pro makes or sells the Cquartz Product.
