Hey guys, used the 5 year coating today.. Went on easy and levelled easily too. The 2 things I don't like is the rapid drops and that I can't see how much is left in the bottle. Glass bottles much better. Other than those things. I'm happy with the product. Cheers Sorry one more thing. I think the red applicator used too much product. I reverted back to a block and suede applicator

@attention2detailswchelsea 11 месяцев назад

The orifice will be changing in the future.

@diydetailofficial 11 месяцев назад

As Chelsea mentioned, we will be using a smaller orifice on future bottles. As for the applicator, it seems to use more, but in testing ( lab and beta testers) all points to the foam using significantly less. I do agree that it does feel like more is being used though. We chose aluminum bottles for a few practical reasons, if dropped they don’t break, and unused coating will last longer to be used on another vehicle.

Good video. More so for Yvan but I thought he said in a previous video the graphene wears off in a year. Agree about reusing towels. Often hear detailers throwing out brand new towels after a coating. I’ve always thrown them in a bucket of APC immediately and wash.

@diydetailofficial 11 месяцев назад

The durability of Graphene products varies. Our 3 year coating will keep the Graphene characteristics for the announced duration.

@pasqualepisani 10 месяцев назад

Kamikaze sells a product which removes all coatings with minimal effort. For this reason, I won’t bother with any coating that boasts years of protection since I regularly maintain my car anyway. I’m a believer in spray sealants that are easy to apply

Great episode Chelsea and Yvan. Fantastic timing as I'm using the 5 year coating on a clients car in about 12 hours time. One of the things I picked up from you is the faster than normal drops from the bottle . Like you, I'm used to a slow dripping bottle. Hopefully I don't overuse the product as I need enough to coat a second car on the weekend. The BMW looked amazing and looked super slick. Thanks again guys. I didn't have the opportunity to buy the ceramic gloss or quickbeads when I picked up the 5 year coating . But by the sounds of it I don't really need to to top it.

Great video series! Unless I missed this, I've always wondered what to do with the ceramic coated car when you feel you need to refresh it. Most videos start with a non-coated car. Does one need to polish the original coating completely off? And how do you tell it's removed? I'd love to see a video about that topic.

@attention2detailswchelsea 11 месяцев назад

Normally yes you need to polish and recoat as the old coating will prevent the new coating from bonding properly

@billyswiney5519 2 месяца назад

Like the analogy Ivan used with the diffrent coatings. I do have a question about wrap or PPf (Clear Bra) Coatings are they diffrent then paint coatings?

@attention2detailswchelsea 2 месяца назад

Yes ppf is an actual plastic film that is put over top the clear and it helps prevent rock chips and scratches whereas coatings bond with the paint and don’t help much with scratches but do help with uv protection and make cleaning the car easier and help put a sacrificial layer on top of the clear coat. Ppf is very expensive to have installed and can cover up scratches on the paint. Coatings are more affordable and you ideally need to remove scratches from the paint before applying but it’s not necessary

@jcal5594 10 месяцев назад

Hi Chelsea. This is a little off topic, but I seem to remember that you did a video using a rinseless wash to clean your garage floor and it came out well!! I used ONR on my epoxy and it came out just as good. Question for you... my wife wants us to clean our interior vinyl plank flooring and is wondering if we can get them as clean as my cars. Ha Ha. Do you think this solution would work on interior vinyl? Thanks... enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming.👍 ..oops, failed to mention that this would be pre-sprayed, then moped with vinegar and water.

@petreticu6008 11 месяцев назад

I've watched the whole video, it's great as always. It feels like applying a ceramic coating is easier than a wax and it lasts/protects way longer. Until now I've done 4 cars all by myself using wax and it's pretty exhausting to do a car by myself. In the near future I will buy the 3 year ceramic coating for my car, I just have a question: after the application, is it mandatory to sit for 24 hours for cure time in a garage or can I let it cure over night outside for about 8-12 hours (hoping that it won't rain) and not wash it for the next 12 days? Thanks in advance

@diydetailofficial 11 месяцев назад

Correct it’s much easier to apply a coating than a wax. With DIY Detail Ceramic Coatings, 1 hour or curing, it can get wet.

@ShineAndPreserveDetailing 11 месяцев назад

I really need to try out DIY’s coatings now. There is a part of me that finds it hard to believe that applying that little amount of drops to the applicator each time can coat the large size panels. I believe Yvan and you but part of me feels that applying too thin of a layer will result in a coating thickness that isn’t sufficient enough to last the durability rating that it states. I could tell you initially thought the same thing. Maybe I’ve been unnecessarily over applying all my coatings this entire time 😅 I think I need to feel the slickness with my own hands in order become a believer. Gyeon Mohs Evo is immediately crazy slick, so I wonder how it compares. Also, did you find that the foam applicator hurt your wrist from the angle it forces your wrist to be at in order to make contact with the surface? Thanks Chelsea for putting this video together!

@diydetailofficial 11 месяцев назад

As long as your getting it on the paint, you have enough. Coatings that have you slather it on, you generally need to use many towels to wipe off, because they are absorbing the excess coating. The angle of our wrist and hand are quite natural. You are also eliminating the strain of holding onto the applicator.

Can I place the ceramic applicator in my rinse-less wash or does it have to be the suds? Yvan said if you use rinse less you don't need to dry it? Normally after rinse less, I use a drying aid (some spay wax usually) to get the water ( ONR) off. Cheers!

@attention2detailswchelsea 8 месяцев назад

As long as the product you use to soak your applicators and has a solvent in it then you should be fine. And you always wanna dry after using a rinseless wash to remove the residue and streaking. You don’t have to rinse it off, but you do need to dry it off.

@Tundra_Guy 11 месяцев назад

I'd love to see an 8yr coating on any car. After a year, most daily drivers are in need of at least a paint enhancement. 8 year coating will not change any of that and it's pretty much useless after a year.

Every new video Yvan is in shows him sporting a new company heh. I have respect for him as he is very very knowledgeable, but this video didn't have any good practices for applying or removing coatings. How are you checking that every inch has coating product? light paint vehicle is harder to see How are you checking that solvents aren't leaving streaks? How are you checking that no high spots are left? Yvan talks about circular motions preventing high spots, but leaving coating on the car is a high spot. or is worrying about the above going to not make coating application simplified?

So my question is. For example. A client shows up out of no where. And askin for a regular wash the paint is not protected at all. Another client show’s up with a car that it’s been coating. So the question is How mush will you charge for non coating and coating car

@attention2detailswchelsea 10 месяцев назад

Hand wash for vehicle starts at $50-$75 for coated or non coated car. Doesn’t included a decon or premium sealant, just a topper or drying aid so if customers want more durable protection then they need to request my wash, clay and wax and that starts at $150. Most coated cars only need the $50 hand wash, most non coated cars end up with the wash, clay and wax

No interior correct. Only wash ?

I thought that for the sides, we can't go over the trim with ceramic. Yvan seems to just go over everything.

You can do paint, headlights, trim, wheels, even glass

They tested 16 separate coatings with Chicago autopros and NONE of them lasted (charateristic-wise) past 1 year mark. So not buying the 3/5/8 year marketing...

@attention2detailswchelsea 11 месяцев назад

You also have to understand that Chicago is mainly highway driving and their roads suck. So that is an extreme environment for a ceramic coating. I have seen many coatings last well over two years when properly maintained in mild climate. It really is dependent on where you live and how you maintain the vehicle.

Coating do last if maintained.
