This is going to be an excellent series to watch. First thank you because the amount of leg work you have put in is a lot. Thank all the suppliers who allowed the average Joe to see the inner workings of their coating. I’m very curious to see the difference between the thicker and thinner coatings. Do they prevent scratches to the paint being thicker? Do some coatings need to be sanded or polished when the inevitable high spot shows up? This is excellent material for the small shops wanting to grow need to understand who charges memberships.

Question: I have an old 69 Barracuda that I started restoring back in 2016 which is when it was painted. Very expensive, high quality 3 stage paint job. Life and finances got in the way and the car sat until the beginning of 2022. Now the car is almost complete. But my body man/restorer is recommending that I let them cut and buff the car since it’s been sitting for so long, in a garage, covers on and off. I said ok. But I want it ceramic coated when you’re done. He doesn’t recommend a ceramic coat unless we do a micro polish which is another expense. My thought is, why would it need micro polishing AFTER a cut and buff? Shouldn’t all the fine scratches be gone? As it sits now, there are no scratches in the paint anyway. Any thoughts?

Yep agreed......and no we've noticed that ceramic coatings do not last as long on PPF as it's a porous film and the hydrophobic properties get lost quicker than the claims in real world tests from our customer installations.......especially for windshield protection films that have wipers involved - we use GTECHNIQ Halo but that's because not many make ones specific for PPF

One more thing, Opti-Coat teaches that coating process begins even with car washing: power clean, ONR, paint prep, and Hyper Polish (primer). All of them add polymers that would help Opti-Coat Pro bond effectively to the surface. So apparently if you do not do this steps, then you can not claim warranty if something fails

@greatestNothin 2 жыл бұрын

Let's think about that...Power Clean(All Purpose to get the gunky stuff) then ONR wash to remove the regular dirts. Paint prep to remove EVERYTHING from the paint's surface. Leaves NOTHING behind. If anything, they would request/require using Hyper Polish with an ONR rinse...that would make sense as then the there would be polymers left behind. The rest sounds like BS. I'm an optimum fan boy by the way, LOVE rinseless washes and Hyper Polish doesn't get nearly enough love for how easy and quick it can go around a vehicle. No taping needed. Hell, it's a go to to remove old wax/polish residue.

James, the retail coatings work great. I have used a number of them and find Gtechniq CSL + Exo works well for about 2-3 years. I also really like Artdeshine for their coatings and topper sealents (amazing slickness and gloss). IMO, a long duration coating isn't needed if you like to keep you car polished up ever 3 years or so to get microscatches out.

@@Gleeleeglee Hi Gary, I haven't tried it, but certainly, there have been a lot of good reviews of the recent Turtle Wax products. I typically find that the spray-on products don't last as long as the bottle and applicator coatings, but that might be just fine for you if you like to spend time shining and protecting your ride a few times per year. Give it a try and see if it works for you!

Honesty I’m no professional I just want something I can apply when I do my paint correction after compounding, polish, and finishing wax. Should I just go for the well rated ceramic coatings on Amazon because all these seem to be pretty much out my range since they only supply to detail shops ?
