Ceramic coating
HI All, Having recently watch a few videos from high end table makers Black Forest Wood co and Blacktail studio in the USA they use a wipe on ceramic coating over the top of their finish. Does any one know if this type of product is available in Australia?

Dave, try the car shops that specialise in cleaning products. I got some (for my car) from one. Sorry, cannot recall whom. It rejuvenated plastic trim from sun-bleached grey back to black.

Further to Matt's point - are the auto products solvent based? will this affect the underlying finish?
Obviously it depends on the product, but something to consider.

In car auto products Ceramic Coating is a bit of a marketing buzz word. The true ceramic coatings cannot be kept in plastic containers so you will find it in small glass or metal bottles and typically cost $100 plus for a 30ml bottle which is enough to coat a car.
Gyeon Q2 is one of the more common brands

Not necessarily the case. The reason for storing in glass / metal containers is NOT the ceramic component of the coating, but the type and ratio of solvent that it is mixed with.
There are now some good ceramic coatings out there which are quite safely stored in plastic - and yes - they still cost somewhere well north of $100 for a single car application kit.
I have found that autoglym ceramic coating works very well on my 4WD and I believe that Maguires product would be very similar - both are stored in a small plastic bottle.
I haven't tried this product on wood / epoxy resin yet, but may give it a go on the outside of some pepper grinding mills that I'm working on at the moment.
