Awesome video, man! Thank you for doing this for all of us. I know firsthand the time and effort involved in making,shooting, and editing these types of 10min videos and it’s great you did. I’m sold on the coating and before this I was on the fence
GREAT VIDEO!!!I stumbled on this 4 months ago on ebay and took a chance and bought it.I put it on several auction cars that were guinea pigs, to see how the application was.I then put it on my 05' CRV 3 months ago.Still going strong, I put 2 coats on it also.Nothing sticks, easy as hell to clean. And a super slick surface....I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I use these cheap coatings for plastic trim, fender wells, etc. on budget detail packages that prioritize durability and have been nothing but impressed. But I still had never applied it on paint. I finally decided to coat half the hood of my daily driver out of curiosity.. That was 11 months ago, and protection is still 95% intact! I still don't use it on paint professionally, but I wouldn't be afraid to. I use my own suede towels, blocks and low pile microfiber towels to apply and remove. But everything else about the product applies and performs almost as well as high end coatings. Applying coatings is like painting, it is allll in the preparation. If you decon. properly (strip wash, iron remover and/or clay) and machine or even hand polish (use a pure polish free of fillers and sealants), and use a proper surface prep solvent before application, you're going to be successful. You can't assign blame to any protection product if you don't give it the proper surface to bond to. Long term durability on paint I still cannot say past the 12 months. I'm seeing about 8 to 10 months on black plastic trim before the color starts to fade, which is very impressive. For the money, you cannot go wrong. A great way to ease into the semipro level of coating paint protection with very little money invested.. 👍👌✌
I ordered this for my motorcycle. Its so dusty where i live so i thought I'd give it a try. Great video. Explains the F upped directions that came with it. Ebay $8, 2 bottles.
Thank you, that was very helpful. I was trying to determine whether or not I should apply it to my Audit Q5, but I think you answer that. I will be looking at your other videos. Thanks again.
Just found this video while looking for something to show to a friend how to apply the MR-FIX coating. I applied this to my car almost 2 years ago (21 months) and it's still working. Not as good as when 1st applied, but still at around 80% of when 1st applied, the "beads" are smaller and take a little longer to go. As an example when new water either ran off completely or made large beads, which ran off as soon as the car started to move , now the beads are smaller and more of them, takes around 1-2 minutes driving then all clear again. Truely an absolute bargain. Would I apply this to a brand new luxury car? YES without any hesitation.
Maybe you could "refresh" the coating by spraying some spray coating on? I just got a spray coating thought it was ceramic coating but after application it works pretty nice as well, the site says last between 3~6 months so maybe you could use it to maintain your coating every season or so. Just spray on surface, spread with sponge, and wipe off with cloth. No caking or anything.
Very good video! Took me ages to find a proper genuine instruction step by step guide like this. Still lots of questions which i cant find an answer to. What about glass? In those ads it looks like its been applied to the windshield as well. Chrome or plastic parts? Then can you re use the sponge?
Thanks a lot for the video. I am a car detailer and I was looking for a nice coating and cheaper at same time and this will do the job without breaking your pocket. The explanation and the demonstrations worth more than thousand words. And yes I would like to see if you leave an untreated part after a rainy day leave the water to dry out exposed to the sun and see if the treated part will leave some water marks or not. That will be great, or another demonstration could be if you have some mud splashed on the treated paint and that mud dried out so how will that be. It will be amazing to check those situations with this coating. Thanks in advance.
Bought this product from China. Had a gt350 mustang shipped to the UK. So apprehensive. How many applications do you think to an average car. May try it out on a Guinea pig car before mine. But thanks for a great demonstration though.
9H is not bad at all, mine lasted close to 3 months where I live in California its always sunny so that's probably why it lasted longer and I have my cars garaged. You can also tell that it crystalizes when you apply 3rd layer to it which is good because it will protect your car paint against minor scratches. I would recommend this product.
Would i be better off applying it using a microfibre cloth? And also if i was, claybar and polish then apply without the alcohol prior will this be fine? Thanks
Phinitnan Chanasabaeng I usually do one coat, but others do two coats. My thought is why would you wash a car twice if you can wash it really good once?
The crazy thing is I get over 9 months of water beading from a sealant like wolfgangs With proper prep. Adding a wax on top of that after it cures I can probably hit the yr mark. I'm at 11 months on one application and the car still is a breeze to wash and dry because of the hydrophobic properties left on the car. Now with that said, this is actually looking to be easier to put on and buff out.
I've been detailing cars since 1997 it's not a bad product but if you take care of your vehicle applying the proper wax high-speed Orbiter machine I think you get better results.
Nice video and breakdown of the application steps and your overview. But I’d strongly recommend that no one apply any ceramic coating outdoors where the vehicle is exposed to airborne contaminants.
I did a comparison between this stuff and the F-11 and have to say the F-11 is better all the way around. Easier to apply with not so many steps and feels much slicker once applied. I am very disappointed in the 9H but it won't go to waste as I'll just use it up on my pick up and daily driver.
What you should have done is your initial tests with water and all. But then do a follow up video where you follow the instructions to the letter and not even get it wet for 3 days just to see if it makes a difference. Then, its been over a year, do a follow up and let us know if this car is still repelling dirt and water.
Hi, good basic video, interested in long term results, as i do have this product, and am lining up my 1989 Honda Legend Coupe for a coating !!!! all comments welcome.
This is probably crazy but I am literally applying this product to my Tesla right now. 130k car! I’m going to upload a video of the whole process including clay barring, buffing, & Applying it. I bought three bottles for $60 and it seems to be a little newer version than yours but I’m going to put all three bottles on. We’ll see how it goes thanks for the video. And keep an eye out for mine in about a week.
If you use 3 bottles on one car you're doing it wrong. Thin lines, do 2 coats. You won't even use 1 full bottle on your tesla. Let me know how it goes!
ThoseDetailingDudes OK thanks for the advice. I just read on Amazon one guy said he had to do like three coats to get it to really beed. I’ve still got to run my buffer over the car with finishing compound which is what I’m doing right now then clean it with alcohol and I’ll get to applying it. Do you think it is safe to use on the glass? Or the chrome?
Tesla Freak yes safe on glass, unsure about chrome. I think 3 coats is overkill, but do 1, buff then wait 1 hour, do the next, then buff. Remember no water or saturation for 24-48 hours. No soap or chemicals for 7 days.
I have bought some and I read the instructions and it said don’t touch with water or dust for 24 hours, did this work very long after putting water on it so soon?
I have a question, some videos show they spray water in the cloth before the 9H Nano drops, others do no spray water. Need to be wet the applicator cloth or no.
@@scorpiojuan1966 He did a fine job. Covered all the main points. Application was decent at best but it clearly worked...I'd also blame the cloth he was using. But it clearly worked fine...
The one where it’s on my Facebook newsfeed, which is I think is the same stuff, same name everything, charges $19.99 and says it last’s 2-5 years....I have a hard time believing that. You said you wouldn’t put it on a Shelby, why not? Is it because it’s too soon to tell? I have a Toyota Avalon which isn’t saying a whole lot but I’m keeping it for the long haul, so I’m wanting to apply something that’s gong to protect and last. Can you do another test in about 6 months. Thank’s
Hi dude, nice video, I have 2 questions tho : 1) Will it work on plastic fairings, like on sport motorbikes for example ? 2) Is it mandatory to wipe it after having it applied ? Isn't the protection going to last longer if the product is not wipped ? Thanks !
Nice video I think it would have been better if you had your car reversed onto your drive as it looks like it's on a little bit of a slop. But good video nice tips I've got this product at home
I am interested in getting a ceramic coating on my 1992 Camaro Z28. I have some questions if I may: 1. Do they also put it on the windows and mirrors? 2. I currently use TOPCOAT F11 and LOVE IT.. But which the shine remains, the slickness does disappear until re-touched up or apply water and buff dry.. It looks like it will cost me around $2000+ cdn to 2-step paint correct, and applying a cermaic coating: SLICKNESS remains the entire time or is it like F11 where the shine is there but the slickness dissipates and either re-add more F11 or wipe with water and dry to get it back.. There is a local shop here in Vancouver BC Canada that will do it for $2,000cdn Local shops quote: From $2000 Wash and decontamination Up to two stages of paint correction/polishing 4 layers of Ceramic Pro 9H Glass Shield 1 layer of Ceramic Pro Light Ceramic Pro Wheel and Caliper Ceramic Pro Rain front 3 windows I am in a LOT of car shows both IN and OUT and I always want the car's slick paint surface to be there as part of the showing of the car.. As a result, I am very curious if the SLICKNESS always remains there or do I have to touch up with some type of detail replenish product?
Curious how it would differ if you washed, claybar entire car...the waxed one side and 9h nano coated the other? Yeah, any coating is going to look better than an unwahed unclaybarred controlled competitor
You wrap the towel around the sponge. It's OK on glass, including the windscreen but not on the drivers side, when using wipers it makes a mist on the screen as the blade passes, it clears instantly but still not desirable.
Awwww yeah...you left your license plate visible. That fine ass Mercury whip is good as mine! lol...jk man...nice video...wanted to see a few reviews on the Mr. Fix before I gave it a shot after breaking my $60 bottle of cquartz....why the heck do they put this stuff in glass bottles?!
Hey great video, I recently received one as well however i didn't receive any written information on how to use...can you post on how to use, from cradle to grave so to speak...
Anton Pierre the application is the same as any other ceramic coating. Try finding videos on other coatings being applied and follow their steps. Hope this helps thanks for the comment.
Is polishing necessary before Ceramic Coat. Seems like I can clean and coat the car myself but polishing is out of my skillset. Should I get a detailer to polish the car and then apply it?
+summit sharma in an ideal world you would do at least a 1 step polish before a ceramic coating. But you can probably get away with alcohol wipe and coat
I put this on my Porsche, and it is doing very well so far. I'll let you know latter on if it keeps preforming as it is now. I bought another type ceramic coating similar to this one to test on my other car called Shine Armor quick coat for $19.99, it will be interesting to compare both.
Random question but what does it smell like? I've purchased a couple of bottles but don't think much of the seal on them! Mine smells like mint but did harden after dripping it on the my work desk,
Thanks for this the instructions also say something about water making it harden and you are saposed to wipe it with a damp microfiber towel after. Not really sure what else is in the process. Any thoughts?
You've done weel on your video. I bought this one nearly a month ago, but until I watch this video Im hesitant to use. I bought it as I have some scratches in my car, could this coating will take off the scratch as well? thanks
