Williams F1 Ceramic protection failed

A while ago i applied williams ceramic coat to a vw, i was supplied with the kit, what i did notice apart from the product being easy to work with was that the applicators that i used did not harden over night like the other brands that i use, that alone tells me something, i feel sorry for any one that paid to have it applied to there vehicle believing that it'll last for the next 5 yrs.
 
How come that a pro Detailer can apply something like a ceramic coating and not know anything about the products history:rolleyes: do they just read the instructions and just apply it and then just take the persons money and that's it:mad: and to fail after 8 months, I would be looking for all my money back.
In defence of the fella that applied the coating, if you have never used it before what the label states is what you believe until you find out otherwise, the company that makes this product will most prob claim operator error, this stuff does not crystalise as you expect from a ceramic coating that claims such long durabilty gyeon cancoat offers better protection imo.
 
But if he is a "Professional Detailer" why is he selling and applying products he hasn't personally tested and checked out?

Lordy even when I was doing paid work years ago I would only ever use products that I had personally tested and used myself...I would never ever believe the sale pitch and marketing patter...test it yourself then you can be confident in making claims and putting your reputation at risk.
I understand that, but it is possible that the early failure is due to user error and the coating does last for the claimed time, the fact that i think that it's garbage does'nt matter, i have used this coating once i was supplied with it as it was what the customer wanted, there was no time to test or form an opinion on the product until the following morning when the applicators where still soft, there are many products that come across as being the dogs nads on paper but only look fantastic for a little while, i have a small list of products that come under that banner imo but i'll keep that to myself as it will only kick off and go off topic. :)
