A First Look At C6 Ceramics! Hydro Lite And APP Adhesion Promoter Polish!!

Рет қаралды 8,312

New to the channel for 2024 is the C6 Ceramic line including the APP (Adhesion Promoter Polish) and Hydro Light Coating. I will share my experience with both here today at Apex Detail. C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite is their 6 year super hydrophobic ceramic coating. The formula contains Polysilazane, Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Silicon Dioxide and Refined Detonated Nano Diamonds. This reactively blended coating is made in the USA as a professional ceramic coating available without the need of certification. If you’re looking for unparalleled hydrophobics and gloss in an easy to apply coating, C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite is for you.
Visit the C6Ceramic web site for more info and pricing.
C6 Ceramics APP is a water-based formulation utilizing ultra fine aluminum oxide and ceramic resins allowing for a micro fine cut and enhancing the surface. The solvents in the C6 Ceramics APP slightly swell the paint, and the ceramic resins lock it in that state making it more receptive to a ceramic coating.
The easy to use formula works with any ceramic coating to eliminate the need for a panel prep, and will increase the gloss and durability of most coatings.
Ideally used sparingly with our Red Jeweling pad ( dry) and a short stroke (3-9mm) DA polisher. It can also be applied by hand.
C6 Ceramics APP isn’t time sensitive, it can be wiped off with a dry micro fibre towel as you go, or after it’s been applied to the whole vehicle. Ideally apply the coating within 24 hours
APP is also found on their web site.

What is your favorite product from DIY Detail?

@1stfrompuertorico568 2 ай бұрын

Right now is the Rinseless, 8 year and 3 year stack besides your BC7. Also ceramic gloss, interior ceramic, the towel with the water spot remover and the iron remover. I haven't tried the APP since I polished dark colored customer's vehicles with the Dr. BEASLEY'S NSPs and clear colored vehicles with the Gold Standard. I will be using the APP soon since I prefer something like Dr. BEASLEY'S NPS where I don't have to use an IPA. The great thing is APP can be used with any ceramic coating. Something also Yvan shared was that they are without PFAs or getting rid of them. Something also great about DIY Detail coatings is that you can return the vehicle to the customer 1 hour after the coating cured.

Brian is a true gentleman, and we willingly collaborate with him. The price of C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite is there because of technology involved. For the person looking for a great quality coating at a more affordable price the DIY Detail and Brian’s BC line of coatings represent exceptional value.

Shop Manager didn’t look impressed.😁 I think Yvan mentioned that after an hour, you can get the coating wet/you can have your customer drive off in the rain, but like other coatings, don’t wash it for at least a week. Like every other coating, it’ll depend on how you maintain it. I’m sure you’ll see a comment from Yvan at some point.

Thank you Brian for sharing your thoughts. Here are mine; as a "Weekend Warrior" who loves detailing my vehicles and friends, I personally don't want a coating that lasts more than 2 years as I love to detail a car and try new products. If you all remember, there are so many ceramic/graphene coatings out there and I enjoy trying them. Plus, sorry to say but this cost is beyond what I want to pay (over $275). I keep my cars maybe 3 to 4 years and in that time, newer products are hitting the market. On a side note; so far one of the best coatings I have used is AvalonKing. Easy on, easy off, great protection and water-beading.

@diydetailofficial 2 ай бұрын

We know the price isn’t for everyone, and that’s fine. Hopefully in time the technology in C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite will reduce in price. For now it’s as low as we can go. That said the performance of it isn’t like anything you’ve seen before. The Refined Detonated Nano Diamonds really make a difference. The reason we are offering C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite is because of demand. Many hobbyist detailers are producing results on par or better than many professionals. This is why we are offering C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite.

@cebasmb8250 2 ай бұрын

The price isn't for everyone 🤔 so who is this made for?? We all, as professionals detailer, don't even want to spend that money on a ceramic coating that just came out with the hype we are still waiting and still thinking

Great video as I appreciate your honest opinion. I have used APP on a dozen or so cars and it works well with other coatings. The only difficulty I have ever had was on super soft black paint because it kept hazing. I have Hydro on my daily driver and the coating was slicker a month later than after install and I have not washed it yet. The hydrophobic water behavior will make you go wow. You can watch water beads at a high contact angle slide off the car. I look forward to seeing your update videos.

Thank you for your channel because it’s one I watch probably the most because your approach is no nonsense and you give your honest reviews without being negative. And as far as this particular coding, yes it is very expensive and for a guy like me who keeps his car in the garage most of the time. Not sure why it’s considered a lifetime coating. Most people won’t keep the car that long. Unfortunately, either DIY version three year coating did not work for me. But do enjoy some of their other products. Because of their rise in price and product shift I watch less. Your videos always a joy to watch. Thank you

Correct, after applying the APP you can let it sit for about a day before needed to reapply the APP. I typically say if you have time to apply APP you should gave time to do the coating, but that’s not how it always works out.
