Now I'm motivated with starting my mobile detailing business and becoming an installer under C6 Ceramics...Thank you Yvan, Nick, DIY Detail, and now C6...

I just applied the 5 year coating to a client's car for the 1st time. That was the easiest coating ive ever applied. At the end of a long day polishing. Having a simple and durable coating is key for me. I cant wait to try the c6 soon!

I honestly think that the C6 Professional Automotive coating should be offered to those that do not have a detailing business and simply require the customer to sign a waiver.

Missed Wednesdays, I'm currently watching now. Can't wait!

Exciting to see the progress on coating tech! Question - for the DIY 5 year coating, what's the temperature range for application?

My 5 year coating has been nothing but a dream - CRAZY GLOSS - excited to see whats next with c6!

Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing it used.

Finally switching to full time with my own business , just got a huge DIY restock order, New DA and Rotary launched (pre ordering for next round) , C6 launches which is perfect for this area! I’m in Farm country surrounded by lakes! Wow, What a birthday gift! 🎁 Let’s do this!🎉

Have order still pending since 3/19 for buffer pads (21207DT). This causes me to miss my project deadlines. Nothing posted on the website when ordering of any delays. Not impressed with ordering process.

I just used APP on the DIY stack and it works perfect. I let it sit on the vehicle overnight, wheels, plastics and glass. The buff off was very easy and the paint was perfectly clean. I prefer this method way more than using a panel prep, I find the paint was cleaner and it gave me more confidence that it was ready for the coating.

If I need to cut Gold Standard, wipe with rinseless damp towel, APP and coat? Need to try that APP

Excellent, I was wondering after polishing with gold standard and want to jewel would I just use the app with red jeweling pad or would I first use gold standard with red pad?

With APP, will it cut enough to remove the 3 year coating after a year on a vehicle so the stack can be installed? Or should the gold standard be used to abrade the surface because of the strength of the coating?

Over my life I've become used to doing a yearly decon/correction/protection process. Am I correct in saying that if my car had a high solids ceramic coating on it that I would only do the decon part? You can't do paint correction on a coated car, correct?

Can you polish this C6 coating off as easily as other coatings? Will the nano diamonds scratch? I’m thinking of this coating as a second clear coat and trying to wrap my head around it

Got the 8 year on mine been amazing

Do the C6 coatings require toppers? Also what’s the difference between APP and other primer polishes like Labocosmetica Fiero? It can also be coated over right away.

So if we still wanted to shine the paint would you still recommend doing gold standard with red pad on rotary then go to app or would we skip the jeweling stage because app is good enough?

I don't know if I missed this, but you say to apply APP with a Jeweling pad and palm sander/8mm DA, but is it applicable with a rotary? Is it the preferred method for application of it?

What speed would I use on my polisher if I am using the red pad on a 15 mm throw polisher?

Where can I find a list of certified pro installers for C6?

When applying a c6 coating or other coating using the app on an already coated vehicle does the app work the same on a coating that has been abraded as it does in clear coat?

@DIYDetail I see a few more videos in your future. Let's get this party started!

How long does the coating last? Can we apply it over an existing coating or do we need to strip it?

Will the app remove all oils etc from all different polish Or will it be better to first use panel prep and then the app?

If you can use up to an 8mm da to apply app does that mean don't use the app with red pad and rotary or is that okay?

What’s the one hand orbital sander is your favorite from You said from Menards. Which one is it. Brand ? Thank you. ?

I've never been a certified installer for any brand of ceramic coating so I do not know how that partnership works or what to expect. I would assume that professional only coating options cost the entrepreneurs LESS than the DIY end user marketed coatings as it only makes sense. I look forward to seeing how this plays out with C6 Ceramics. I already use the DIY Detail coatings to run my business. They're expensive. They're high quality. I've never enjoyed applying a coating as much as with the DIY Detail range. Although I haven't tried many of the most popular and highly respected coating brands out there. DIY Detail coatings cost more than double what most of the other top brands do. It makes sense because they're advertised to the DIY person. They are only buying one bottle for the next 3+ years. You have to capitalize on that with higher prices. If these new permanent coatings cost more than the DIY Detail 8 year does, I see them as being useless to the audience of entrepreneurs they're being marketed toward. I will be purchasing hundreds of these coatings and so the need to capitalize on me is much less than the one off DIY buyers. Think of it as a subscription based service. You spend much less at once, but more frequently creating a guaranteed income stream. I already choose to spend 100% more on product by opting for DIY Detail. I don't want to spend 150% more on product, I'm trying to run a business. Marketing a permanent coating to customers will be niche enough as it is considering most people do not own or lease a vehicle for more than a few years. The people who do are like most other people and aren't thinking 8-10 years down the road so the 3 or 5 year coating is what they choose anyway. If I then need to charge even more money to this already small niche of potential clients then that would render these illogical to even consider as a business owner. Once we start getting accepted as installers and we get pricing it will be interesting to see what I would need to charge clients to apply this coating and if it will ever generate a single sale. I remain optimistic as Yvan has never lead me astray, but I have concerns!

Pan shared this link with me. I must have missed this somehow. Great information I wish this C6 lite came out 2 months ago when I applied a different diamond nano ceramic coating. Fomo, but I ve just gotta be happy with what I've got. Until it wears out....😊

when will the store get restocked? also any ideas in the future for reducing shipping cost?

This is great, good explanation and I’m glad there is an emphasis on continuous improvement. Always reinvent true north. I bought the APP and can’t wait to try it out with the 5 year coating.

What is the difference in diamonds with this coating vs. the new CarPro Diamond coating and/or the Diamond protech coatings. I think they both claim nano diamond make up as well so just wondering if there are similarities or completely different? Thanks!

What Menards palm sander did you use?

You said that the APP will actually swell the paint. Does that mean if you "remove" light defects with it, they could come back after the swelling goes back down?

Can you stack any of the C6 coatings with DIY Detail coatings for even better results?

Yvan looking like a proper Canadian with the hat on in the intro 😅First of all I hope C6 rocks like DIY, it looks like it's very well thought through. Even though I totally followed what you said and I don't understand how a coating can be "less" resistant to chemicals so another one will be "more" resistant. Is it about what you talked about the bonding of the molecules of the coating and how they are still on the surface but not "connected"? Assuming that, would the 3year graphene coating (also assuming 100% proper prepping and application) be equally chemically resistant if you for example wash the car every week and spray quick beads? I do understand what I just described isn't the average car owner and that most people won't wash their cars weekly.

Think its a great Coating 👌👌 Hope international Shipping is soon availaible Greetings from Austria

Even if the new coatings are too expensive to justify in my business, I am really looking forward to the APP! My least favorite part of the coating process is the panel prep. It feels so redundant and tedious, I despise it really. If I can simply perform a light machine polish on the entire vehicle with the APP and go straight to coating that would be amazing. So at the very least I will be combining the APP with the DIY Detail coatings ASAP.

Is C6 available to Mobile Detailers without a shop?

Is there a date the Hydro light will be available?

How many ounces does the C6 coating ($600) container include? How many cars can be done with 1 $600 container?

Can’t wait DIY has been the best things to happen to the industry

At what point does it go from car washing and valeting to detailing?

Tried ordering a variety of items that were out of stock. Signed up with email to be notified when available. This was 4 months ago and not one notification. I tried to give you guys a chance. Got a “small” $200 order but apparently I didn’t spend enough to get anyone’s attention. Good luck tho

Hi, can you offer a demo of hydro vs diamond? Would love to see them on a panel side by side. Maybe compare the water behavior and gloss through a gloss meter?

Can anyone buy the APP, and does it work well with other coatings?

Will there be a new line of maintenance products for C6, or will that be the DIY Detail products?

Can you do a stack on de c6?

Graphene and diamond are both carbon, albeit with different, but similar, structures, but different physical properties. Can you explain the difference with this coating please?

Will Carzilla be a distributor soon for C6 ?

I would guess that Hydro vs Diamond will sometimes depend on paint color ie…why Diamond a white car?

How will the diamond c6 be able to purchase? C6 website I didn’t see it…regards, Tony

I'm wondering if this is effectively the end for those of us that detail our own cars only.

Only 14 hours to go! DIY we meet again 🎉

Let's do this

Having watched a ton of your videos at this point, (and the c6 ones too), I have to say Nick is masterful in his approach to these videos at this point. He plays the layman and the PR guy at the same time in such a perfect way. Yvan is obviously the guy with his line of experience and relationships etc. but you guys together is such a good move. Having coached small businesses and executives for years I can see all of the dots connected and where you guys are going and it’s fascinating to watch. Thank you for all you guys are up to and I look forward to more.

I want that APP!

I have Diamond Body 36 one my car. It is DIY coating and has it's own panel prep. I don't see why C6 can't be sold to anyone long as they commit to following the procedure. Disclaimer could be if not followed any warranty is void. Also use at your own risk.

Sorry I've missed the live but still got questions and I know that you answered all of them, thank you for that... here we go... What's the major difference between C6 Diamond and C6 Hydro lite ? What's the major difference between C6 Hydro lite and the stack (8 + 3) ? Can Hydro lite be applied over a PPF ? Thanks in advance 😊 By the way, keep on growing we like what we see ❤🎉

I want one of those hats, even when I cannot see the red color from the 6

Hey Yvan & Nick 😊

The adhesion promoter reminds me of old Zaino bros prep

I’m not saying your coating can or can’t last a “lifetime”, but translating that to customers does across as snake oil, which is tough. Also Nick saying haters doesn’t come across well as you’re trying to change minds. Call them skeptics when you’re introducing something new.

C6 stack when?

How does this hold up vs. the DIY STACK? You realize C6 is no longer a consumer Do It Yourself product, might be confusing if you don’t offer it to consumers.. Just sayin’

Say detonated Nanodiamonds 10 times fast 🤣 New Tongue twister

In time things will settle down. Clearly the products work otherwise it would be BOGOF just to clear the warehouse

People whine and complain about pro only coatings. There are many out there. And many consumer available coatings. Wahhh 😅😅😅

I apologize for my long comment/feedback in advance but I am very disappointed to hear this news, and just want to let you know what many others out there like myself are think about “pro only coatings”. Call it what you want but at the end of the day it’s just “gatekeeping” a ceramic coating to the average diy consumer. Unfortunately I have chosen with many others to stop supporting companies that do this business practice by not offering certain products to everyone. Find it ironic that your company name has “diy” in its name but sounds like you’re releasing a product that cannot be bought by a “diy” individual. Not trying to disrespect your business but I truly liked that you guys release your 3,5,8 year ceramics to everyone! It was such a breath of fresh air that a company releasing its entire ceramic coating line up to everyone/anyone. Iam tired of the detail business trying to be “exclusive” or “vetting” your business to see if you’re “worthy” or “good” enough to use certain products. As others have mentioned why can’t you make the average consumer just sign a waiver if they choose to purchase a “pro coating” and make them acknowledge the risk in using the product? Not everyone wants to buy a “lite” version of a product knowing that there is a better/longer lasting version. You mentioned palm sanders in your video, as far as iam aware of I don’t know a single palm sander that an average person can’t purchase. If you want get purchase a cheap $10 sander or spend $100s of dollars on “professional” version of palm sanders used in body shops or professionally. I wish you all the best in the new lineup but unfortunately will not be participating in the future.

I'm pretty sure you guys are using the Tool Shop 2.0-Amp Corded 5" Random Orbit Sander (Model Number: OSD117 Menards SKU: 2419943) - gotta love the red and black ;-> and the $20 price. I see it specs at 12,000 OPM. After comparing specs from BUNCHES of sanders, I am thinking of springing for the $60 Masterforce 3.2-Amp Corded 5"/6" Random Orbit Sander (Model Number: PES400GHU Menards SKU: 2410802). It has the variable speed setting that lets it go down to 4,000 OPM. I am thinking this might accomplish two goals - "lowest speed setting" and a bit of noise reduction. I really like using the red jeweling pad to add gloss, but I just don't have the experience to make it happen with a rotary. I think having the 3mm throw and lighter polisher instead of a 7 lb Milwaukee with a 15mm throw should give me the results I'm craving. As Yvan mentioned in the video, I would plan on using the 15mm Milwaukee with GSP on a yellow waffle, wipe off, then follow up with 3mm Masterforce with APP on the red jeweling pad as the prep for the ceramic coating of choice. I've only installed the "difficult" 5 year coating and absolutely LOVED the experience and results!

Life time coating ? Means there is no more car detailing 😂 …. Mmmmm ??? This utube channel is now dead 😂
