I will have to post pictures of the results so far, and unfortunately the juice just isn't worth the squeeze (at least not appearance wise) I used prep spray, then coated with Proje' ceramic coat ( I use this on my cars/motorcycles) with a light buffing. I used Cobra Officer as a test bed. The surface area is just too small to make a notable difference in appearance. There is a slight shine, but ceramic sprays are expensive. Protection wise, you still have the hydrophobic reaction that ceramic coatings are noted for, water just rolls off. I'm still waiting to see if there is any long term discoloring of plastic or impact to 30+ year old plastics. So in a nutshell:
Appearance: no notable difference
Protection: may be good for repelling water and protecting the metal parts from rusting. Most of us are not taking Torpedo, Deep Six and Wet Suit in the bathtub to underwater battles anymore.
Price: high
