I’ve applied in the same technique already. Love it. It’s on the garage queen. Spray on carpet. Applicator on everything else. Gotta do the infotainment screen.

I applied DIY’s Interior Ceramic to probably every nook and cranny inside my few days old Model Y black interior. Cleaning the interior is super easy now n days, I get a lil carried away and still apply it every 2 weeks on front seats, dash & screen, but to be honest there’s no need. I just received the Ceramic Gloss and can’t wait to use it tomorrow. Keep up the videos Nick & Ivan, can’t get enough of em

Fully agree with the use an applicator approach, but can't make myself use the full sized block. I've had great success with the mini and finger mitt saver applicators - easier to get into tight spaces, use less product by keeping it on the surface of the applicator, and they are washable and reusable.

While simple, I would love to see a video/short on what microfiber cloths (Waffle/short nap/twist loop) you guys personally use and what's best for each application like windows, exterior, wheels etc!

I love this podcast series. My favorite part of the week!

Definitely a gem of a product which I need to order more of. Protecting the carpets does use more as does the headliner. Interior ceramics use to darken the leather but this product does not which makes life easier. Thank you for the video!

"Binnacle"? Wow, Yvan has a secret life as a sailor! Next week we'll be polishing the starboard cleats. Great video guys! Really appreciate the how-to and FAQ format.

One of the best detail products I have ever used!

Excellent! Thanks for the great education!

Excellent product. Does a great job at keeping the dash dust free. Easy maintenance with the interior detailer.

This is a great product! Makes the interior look new again. I will definitely buy this again!

Word of the Day: “Binnacle: a container for instruments in an automobile dashboard.” Never heard of that before.

This podcast is awesome! It provides a helpful resource for better understanding interior ceramic design and DIY projects.

I have ordered this and cannot wait to apply

These vids are just as fun as the products

I got my bottles in today! Along with the gallon of rinseless wash, and two gold standard.

Waiting for payday to buy some of these products. I’m pretty exited to try them out.

I can feel Nick’s love for Tesla’s white vegan leather 😂..I applied leather protection as soon as I got the car. So it hasn’t brought the stain from my jeans onto the seats (yet)

Can MF towels and applicators used to apply this product be washed and reused or should they be tossed?

I applied Art De Shine last year but at a much higher cost. This looks so much easier to apply and much more affordable. A wash and also Prep Spray to remove existing protection do you figure? Would love to try this out

Anyway we can get some alcantera cleaning examples? Would be awesome!

How am I missing these videos awesome explanation and my questions were answers how long do I wait to reply

I have a few question. 1) Should I use rinseless wash or clean & protect before interior ceramic? 2) if I use clean & protect, do I need to use panel prep before interior ceramic? 3) Does clean & protect affect the bonding of interior ceramic and reduces interior ceramic durability / longevity?

After cleaning with interior clean and protect how long is best to wait to start the interior ceramic coating process?

To re-apply a coat of interior ceramic , do you recommend panel prep or just wipe with rinse less? Thanks guys 🙏🏻

Could you use Interior clean & protect and then Interior Ceramic? If so how long should you wait inbetween doing so? Instead of panel prep?

Do you use panel Prep on the cluster and infotainment screen?

Can you apply over interior detailer like carpro inner qd or other interior detailer or not necessary to use both?

What is the smell like on this Interior Ceramic? and One thing I do not think was covered, is AFTER application, the best or recommended method to do interior maintenance?

Greetings DIY Detail Team, I use Leatherique to condition the Nappa leather in my BMW. Is it safe to apply the DIY Interior Ceramic Coating over Leatherique or any other leather conditioning product application?

Can you apply DYI's Interior Ceramic after you clean interior with DYI's Interior Clean and Protect?

is ceramic interior safe to use in conjunction w/ interior clean & protect? if so, what would your routine/frequency suggestion be between panel prep, ceramic interior and interior clean & protect? thanks

will this prevent or help prevent smudges from shoes on plastics of truck doors? I'm interested in kick panel area protection as well as the usual dash maintenance and cleaning.

Yvan & Nick. Being a ceramic. What is the active ingredient? Also when applying to cloth seats do you just spray it on and walk away or spray and rub? This is my next order I believe.

So once leather seats have been coated in Interior Ceramic is there not a need for a leather conditioner? I've always been one to wipe the interior completely down with an interior detailer biweekly and every 6 months apply leather conditioner to leather surfaces. Where does leather conditioning fit into the routine?

What grey towel were you using to knock down the high spots?

Would you spray directly on fabric seats? I’m a little worried about the overspray

Does it protect against light scratches/abrasions on leather, the usual wear and tear?

Is it enough to use panel prep if my interior was coated before using Turtle wax hybrid ceramic graphene inside job? Love your products but yet to use interior ceramic

Seems like a great product, but the price keeps me from buying. Every time I break down and accept the price ($50 a bottle) and go to buy, the shipping kicks me back to not buying. $16 for shipping makes this a $66 bottle. With no other real place to buy (a single seller on amazon has it for $60), i find myself looking for alternate products. Think of the sales if this was a $35 product....

Should you do interior and protect then ceramic coat it if my interior dirty?

What is the application process if you have cloth seats? spray on seat and use a brush? or just wipe with microfiber ?

@diydetailofficial : New car and just learned about interior ceramic coating. I got some diy detail interior ceramic and did the car this past weekend. Worked great! I just picked up a new adhesive magnet mount for my phone and I stuck it to the vinyl dash, but after 3min of holding it in place tight, it just peeled right off. I guess this interior ceramic really works! (I know some people dont like adhesive mounts, but this will be my 4th car with them and i really like it) So what I need to do next is remove the coating from just this small 2x3in section so I can put the mount on and then re-coat next to it. What's the best way to do this without damaging the vinyl on the dash?

What would be the best maintenance cleaner after applying interior ceramic? Like Maybe after a month, you wanna do a quick clean on the inside, what would be the best product for that.

I don’t know how often I’d use this product, how long does it take for it to go bad?

Do you clean the infotainment screen with panel prep as well?

How many of you have actually used Panel Prep before using? Ceramic Interior

Thanks guys, finally have your products in Australia. Looks like the interior ceramic bottle could last a while even if applying every 6 months to high traffic areas. Does interior ceramic have a shelf life after it is opened?

Can I use the interior ceramic on Alcantera?

Do I need to use mechanical polishing to remove ceramic from interior before changing products or reapplying? How do I prep for reapplication of interior ceramic coating

I applied to my cars interior about a month ago. I now want to have parts of my dash upholstered with Alcantara. What is the best chemical and process to remove the ceramic so the adhesive for the Alcantara will properly bond? Thanks!

Just did this on my car the other day, getting it dialed in prior to sale… did it also previously on my wife’s Edge ST. I love the way my interior looks, and the ease of clean. Really makes the interior pop. 🧈 the bang for buck on this product is amazing. I’ve done three full interiors and I’ve used about 3 ounces of product.🧃

What would be a good starting price to market an Interior Ceramic?

Hi I have a question, please respond. The liquid in the bottle, is it clear? Or kinda white cloudy liquid? Because I bought mine from Autoforge and the liquid is not see through clear. I just want to make sure

Will this change the feel of my Alcántara ?

I live in South Florida and have a vehicle that is parked outside 24/7, so UV protection to help prevent fading and cracking is very important. 303 Aerospace Protectant has always been my go to for UV protection on plastic/vinyl trim. Would a ceramic based product provide superior UV protection for interior plastics/vinyl?

I wish we could get your products here in ASIA

Just wish it wasn't 80 canadian a bottle

How do you apply this product to cloth seats?

LOL, does it bead ? I do not want that much water or beverages spilled inside to see any beading! As noted this concept of ‘ceramic’ is for ease of cleaning and resistance to soiling..

This is a decent product but for 50 dollars I would rather get gyeon or gtechniq interior ceramic

Can you dress an engine bay with Interior Ceramic?

Just received a bottle of your interior ceramic and have to say this product has a nasty smell to it! I'm not debating interior ceramic benefits and realize are many other companies selling similar products, but this stuff should come with serious warnings on the packaging to wear not only hand protection, but a respirator. SiO2 is not kind to our lungs, and is not only a risk to the detailer, but to the vehicle owner/family with off gassing for days afterwards. And I think companies that market their products to DIYers, not professionals, have an even larger responsibility to ensure safety, or at least give reasonable warnings.

First!

Is all clean a good option for panel prep?
