man, these ceramic coating and that ppf or pff wrapping on these Tesla are way out of control. Why in the hell would you spent over $50k on a brand new car, then have to spend more time and more money in these bs. Just park the damn car in the garage and don’t go anywhere! There! Just ridiculous.
Do you mind sending a link or telling me which electric buffers (I think that’s the right term) that you used in this video? Was is the purpose of the smaller one? I am assuming for smaller/thinner locations? Also any pad recommendations?
Yes, i would recommend it. Some new cars even have scratches. I would recommend 3D One hybrid polishing compound with a microfiber pad for a one step correction & finish 👌
You were my inspiration for having my 23 MSLR ceramic coated immediately after taking delivery of it. The Solid Black looks like glass now. It really improved the overall color. Folks can’t stop staring at it or asking me about it.
Thanks for sharing. This just show that ceramic coating is doable at home and anyone can do it. My questions would be why did you have to buff before apply ceramic coating ?
I Never recommend using dawn dish soap on a car UNLESS you are stripping it. Then you can add a little drizzle in to make it super sudsy. And then a splash of degreaser. To maintain it I recommend a PH neutral car shampoo, or slightly alkaline if it’s really dirty.
Not really a tutorial in this video, just watching him wash his car for the most part. The Adam's ceramic process starts at 11:54 but there's not much to see.
That’s the key, it’s all in the prep work. Applying it is as simple as doing a cross hatch pattern, waiting a few minutes, and then buffing it off. We will do another more in depth tutorial!
I have a Tesla model Y white, what products do you recommend for me? Also is it safe to use iron remover and wheel cleaner every time when I wash my car? I’m thinking to wash every week, I’m thinking to go with the superior products fury and cherry foam combo for the wash.. Do you recommend ceramic coating spray?
We do like the chemical guys total interior for cleaning the plastics, leather, vinyl on the inside. For the exterior any ceramic waterless wash / ceramic detail spray would work for cleaning the exterior in between washes. And a nice PH balanced ceramic car shampoo for washes. A ceramic spray coating is a good option and may last 6-12 months. I would use an iron decon once ever other month, to a couple times a year. I would not use it every time. The ceramic coating should help industrial fall out from sticking into your clear coat.
Cool video! Really enjoyed the transition and music too. I noticed that you spray water into the opened grill - is there a reason why you do that? I hate it when water gets stuck in there so I end up closing the grill before spraying.
Would be nice to get a more detailed break down. I appreciate showing the products, but for someone that could really only afford to do it themselves, I wish there was more detail/step by step. Thanks for sharing nonetheless!
It’s a pretty easy product to apply! Just want to make sure to do a good strip wash, polishing, and IPA wipe first! Be sure to apply the product and level it evenly, then wait 1-2 minutes for the product to flash off before buffing off with a clean microfiber
No decontamination before polishing or IPA wipe down before coating? I don’t see the coating lasting too long. The whole process would be devastating to a dark colored vehicle.
We did a rinse-less wash and Clay bar decontamination on this vehicle 👌 I warranty my work so if it doesn’t last, I’ll re-install it for the client. It’s actually quite difficult to wash the vehicle in the freezing weather here so I do a rinse-less wash. I know what I am doing, I’ve worked on many dark colored vehicles including a 2023 Black Model S. thank you for watching!
