Thank you.

Ain’t going to last the 5 years 😂

Thanks for sharing

Wonderful!

Thank you! Cheers!

Just as easy

Nice

Thank you

Thank you

I like a 250 or less gsm pearl for the first, 350 or higher plush for second

Thank you very much yvan for your time appreciate. Have a good one 🙂

Kirk, yes we used our decontamination towel on this car. We will have a complete video coming soon on what we did to the car. The 3 or 8 year are best, the 5 may add too much gloss.

We’ve been selling in the UK for almost 2 years Https://diydetail.com/pages/distributors

We have a metal coating coming out shortly.

Yes to both

Absolutely!

Our coatings come with the applicator.

You easy to apply ceramic coating before waxing.

So you saying wax after ceramic coat

@@Fishteferyes

No, soak them in your wash bucket for 15 mins . Rinse then launder as normal.

Ours, yes

Less chance of high spots and less coating used in a circular motion

What’s the best technique for black paint?

It’s faster, more efficient, less chance of high spots, and application of a coating doesn’t cause swirling

No pressure in either step

@@diydetailofficial gotcha thank you! Love your videos, I’ve learned a ton!

Another way of understanding it is that when you see about 50% of the coating you applied to the paint “flash” or disappear ….it’s ready to level with your towel. We might have been a little quick in this video but with matte paint it’s better to err on the side of avoiding the possibility of high spots since you can’t polish matte paint or it turns shiny. Don’t be afraid to level on the early side, but if the paint is grabby that’s a sign you are too early. It should be an effortless wipe off

Ivan, I just applied your 3 year graphite coating, I’m in Florida, 90F and high humidity in my garage, that coating flashed almost instantly so I had to use more on each section, do smaller sections and pretty much after doing a 2x2 section, immediately leveling with towel and buffing off. It was not grabby at all and super slick after buffing. I am assuming I did it properly due to the crazy high heat and humidity? My car looks awesome and only had 1 small high spot that i missed

Not really that different, it’s just we don’t think wasting towels is a good idea when they are easily washed.

Very difficult on white, we are in Omaha. $3000 is about right for a C6 Ceramics installation

Yes

It should

Same

DIY Detail

You will need to Polish lightly first

@@diydetailofficial got it thanks

@@diydetailofficial just to ensure. Can I use the gold standard waffle Yellow pad and the gold standard polish to lightly polish when doing this ?

Yes, change coatings to one that’s better formulated.

@diydetailofficial Unfortunately my boss ordered like 6 bottles, so I'll be stuck with the stuff for a while. I was just curious if there could be something I'm doing wrong. It flashes so fast that I practically immediately start wiping right after I finish coating the panel. If I wait anything over a minute it's ridiculously hard to wipe and I almost always have to break out the buffer to knock it back down. Was also wondering if you have any input on sticking a microfiber rag to a buffer and using that to buff the ceramic? Thanks a bunch!

No, unfortunately you’re stuck with a poorly formulated product. If you’re taking longer to do the jobs, it’s probably more economically viable to ditch the bad coating and get something that actually works. The time you spend is worth more than the coating he would throw away. Also an important lesson, don’t buy in bulk until you know if a product works for you.

@diydetailofficial Yea at this point I'm almost tempted to just go buy some Adams Graphene or something similar with my own money as it literally cuts the job time in half so it would basically pay for itself after 1 job. Thanks for the info, love the videos!

It’s not a new term, but it’s a more accurate description of what’s happening.

Correct

It’s a matte paint

Cross linking is the act of the chemicals in the coating polymerizing to each other and the paint.

@@diydetailofficial thanks for the response. How does one know when it has 50% cross-linked?

@FredKhuram when cross linking starts it looks like an oil slick on water, as it crosslinks, it will go back to clear.

Yes

​@diydetailofficial I thought so! but in this demonstration, I assumed it would have a more noticeable effect on a matte finish. because matte would serve as a prime example as to how much gloss is added. or so I assumed

​@@jelani2790this stuff looks like bs

Thanks

Very confident. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7mkaryptLClfo0.html

The length of the fibres

@@diydetailofficial thanks legends!! Just did my first full ceramic coating. Wahhh it takes long

Yes, we don’t.

thank you

Why?

Our coatings do not haze

You could definitely feel it though.

@diydetailofficial I'm just messing around Detail is amazing I wish I had the time to do that to my car . Haven't washed it in a month ... Suck really

Thank you.

Why do you feel it’s a scam? Ceramic coatings have been available for over 20 years.

@@diydetailofficial They do not last long enough to make it worth the ridiculous cost of application. Longevity in availability doesn't make it cost effective.

You can apply a wax every 3 months, or a coating once every 10 years, the choice is yours. The biggest advantage of a coating is that it provides chemical resistance that a way simply can not.

Coating application doesn’t cause swirl. Also what we see as swirls in paint is actually a collection of straight lines. We see it as a swirl because we use a single point of light

Yes we are owners

@@diydetailofficial cool

Thank you

To each his own.

Nice 👍
