Just clayed , polished and coated my car yesterday with the 8 year! Amazing

@diydetailofficial 10 месяцев назад

Thank you, let us know how the first wash goes.

@gregdedrick2150 10 месяцев назад

I polished and coated wife’s blue print Highlander using 8+3 year stack. The metallic paint looks like it should have from factory. Amazing difference in look but slickness is crazy. Totally agree on the white paint. These coatings are very easy to apply as I'm a novice and managed to do both my truck and wife's SUV without issue.

Excellent vid. So with ALL coatings should you generally use a circular motion as opposed to a crisscross pattern?

@diydetailofficial 10 месяцев назад

The geometric shape you use makes no difference to the coating. The goal is to evenly distribute it on the paint. We prefer circular motions because it reduces the chance of high spots.

Very few brand new vehicle paintwork look impressive when they reach their owners’ hands, where they dont require any polishing prior to using over-priced “coatings”. Before you go for an interview, is it necessary to take a shower and take steps to groom yourself? Actually,…no. But in reality, it is necessary and most people do it.

@diydetailofficial 9 месяцев назад

Why do you think coatings are overpriced?

@victoryensured7137 8 месяцев назад

Don't compare a lack of polishing to showering yourself pls 🤣 it's more like exfoliating your skin, my car was pretty decent from factory and Im gonna do a coat on it without a polish as I don't trust my skills and even more so do t trust the detailers at my home town

How do you tell if you have iron contamination on a black car?

@diydetailofficial 10 месяцев назад

It’s hard to see, but it’s there. Decontaminate every 6 months, or 10,000 miles to be safe

@DMT267 8 месяцев назад

Agree 100%. Everyone needs to stop using the 2 bucket rip-off con. I've just recently started doing 2 foam wash on my wife's graphite coated new car. Works amazing. Cheers.

The key to putting a ceramic coating on is lighting. Obviously there are other things lol, but lighting is huge. I've only did it a couple times. The first time I did it outside because I don't have a bunch of lights in my garage. And I missed a bunch of stuff. You can think you have everything leveled down and wiped off, then the next thing you know you find five or six places you need to fix. It was so frustrating. Doing it in a garage with all of those lights above would be heaven lol. Excellent Video is always.

Unrelated question: do you have to worry about mold buildup underneath the flooring? Curious about the maintenance. Ty!

@diydetailofficial 10 месяцев назад

Yes. Floor needs to be taken up and cleaned underneath.

To avoid the high spots and drips/running you on the edges I have a solution. What I do is start with the circular spreading in the middle when you've just loaded up the applicator. That way you're not doing the edges when the applicator is its most saturated. Otherwise you tend to get that running. That way you can just keep working in circles right up to your edges spreading outward!

@diydetailofficial 10 месяцев назад

Excellent

@diydetailofficial 10 месяцев назад

Excellent .

@m.3651 8 месяцев назад

Then you applied way to much coating on the applicator. Work in small areas, 10 drops with a pipet.

I appreciate what you guys do. Always striving to make detailing easier for the little guy. I've learned a lot from this channel.

Yvan, Trooper was a Canadian band… Nick didn’t even have a chance. 😅 next hit him up with some Men Without Hats trivia next.

While we do the Safety dance on occasion, I think Klaatu is more appropriate for Nick.

Have a new car 2 months old. Applied spray ceramic coatings like McGuires and Turtle wax along with a Iron wheel cleaner during the first 3 weeks of owner ship. There is not one scratch or swirl mark on the paint. Lots of orange peal but show me a new car that is not full of orange peal. Rather have an extra layer of clear coat than a paint corrected car. I live in Florida so sun use of products that don't like sun are not worth it. My question is I am happy with my car the way it is. Use of polishes and buffing in the past have always resulted in disaster. I keep my cars a long time. So whats the best way to just keep my car the way it is. I use a foamer and two buck method and spray rinse off products. Never heard of decontamination a new car until I started watching detail videos although it makes a lot of sense. I would image less than 5% of new car owners have their paint decontaminated. So whats the best way to keep the car just the way it is.

@diydetailofficial 6 месяцев назад

Congratulations, keeping it clean is a great start. This may help ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bdINJ-3Mc0U.htmlsi=ZtnaUke4QnyXMjn0

@79blustone 10 месяцев назад

Interior ceramic- is that water based? Also, if you have a new car, what are your thoughts about just hand polishing after the necessary decon just to give a micron scale surface to allow the ceramic coating just to grab onto to give you slightly more longevity?

@diydetailofficial 10 месяцев назад

It’s solvent based. You can hand polish.

@MichaelMorrow-v4j 8 месяцев назад

In the video above, you did NOT include a spot remover stage in preparing the car for the ceramic coating. Yet I watched an other DIY Detail video yesterday about a simple process of ceramic coating a new Suburu which DID include a spot remover stage to clean out the pores of the paintwork. Is the spot remover stage an optional one for ceramic coating a new car with say less than 100 miles on it? Could you please clarify? Thanks again for all these great videos!

@diydetailofficial 8 месяцев назад

It’s best to do it, in the case of the Subaru , we know the car wash leaves a film.

@MichaelMorrow-v4j 8 месяцев назад

Many thanks, Nick. I will add it to the process for ceramic coating my new Lexus this Spring. I would need the DIY Spot Remover anyway for the annual maintenance next year anyway.@@diydetailofficial

Easy way to coat a vehicle. New vehicles are great and way easier to coat. Especially something very prestine

@diydetailofficial 10 месяцев назад

We agree!

@brandonnguyen1486 5 месяцев назад

Hey what if you have to remove water spots? Is this it- wash car, dry it, re soak and do clay process, then use water spot remover, then polish paint, then apply ceramic?

@diydetailofficial 5 месяцев назад

Correct

@M.D.MobileDetailing 10 месяцев назад

I've recently tried the fine grade clay towel from another company and was not at all impressed. Compared to my Griot's Garage synthetic clay the towel doesn't remove anything and is more difficult to use. I want to give the towel another shot using your ultra fine grade version but not sure that will make a difference.

@diydetailofficial 10 месяцев назад

Yes, it will make you a friend of the towels.
