Cerekote is what I used on my jeep and as far as washing goes I wash mine almost every week after applying. I just went over everything again and it had been right at a year since first application. It wasn't necessarily back to what it was originally but felt it needed coated again so I did. So just in case anyone was curious with results of exposure to elements and continued washing. I'm from midwest btw so we have hot summers with lots of sun and cold winters with snow/ice and road salts. Decent mixture of weather at least.
I was literally just about to try a different brand then I already had which was meguiars not too long ago, and now you post this video. you have the best timing in the world. I'm restoring the trim to darken the grey(ish) appearance on my XJ for first impressions at my new high school.
Thanks for another awesome video. Will absolutely be picking up the cerakote wipes for my WJ- last product (believe it was turtlewax) did an absolutely awful job
Thanks, Dale! I'm preserving the patina on my '89 Wrangler, so this isn't an issue for me. But I do have a newer car That I put Avalon King on. It has done great on the clearcote but not as great on plastic. Not scientific but I thought I'd throw it in.
I bought the cerakote kit based on this video and it turned my plastics into a streaky mess that looked like they had been in the desert sun for 30 years. Called cerakote to figure out how to strip it off and they said their product can be finicky and they don't recommend it for plastics that don't need to be restored (I have an 87 yj with old plastic 🤷). Had to use non-acetone nail polish remover and a magic eraser then a ton of Mother's Back to Black to get them back to a normal condition. Be careful with this cerakote stuff, it looked great on the video, but my plastics hated this stuff. Still my favorite Jeep channel
Huh. That’s super weird. Yes, I’ve heard not to use it on new plastic, but sounds like yours was old. My experience, as shown in this video was amazing! 10 year old plastic. Was yours shiny black, but streaky? I did notice in areas where I got it on too thick, it took a few days to even out. Maybe a cure time?
Really great vid! I have learned so much from your walk throughs and appreciate how easy you make things look and your thoroughness. I needed something for the plastics on my 93 YJ and thanks to you (AGAIN!) I get to reap from your sowing! Thanks man and blessings to you!
Great video. Just checked and it is available in the UK too, happy days. Definitely worth a follow up video in twelve months as they provide a 2 year guarantee. Keep up the great work!
