I traded a motorcycle for this 2010 Lexus ES350. Now that it's here it's time to breathe some life back into this 253,000 mile car. It took a village but with Detail Dudes and Blue Collar Collision and Glass we managed to wash, polish, ceramic coat, interior detail, chrome wheel clean, and replace the windshield in a single day. All that's left is mounting the old tire onto the new wheel Monday and this car is ready to head out!

@kennovakowski1246 2 года назад

When applying a ceramic coating keep the applicator on the panel slide it back and forth in a cross hatch pattern lifting the applicator after every pass will create high spots or miss a spot on the panel. Only a recommendation do as you wish. I have installed approximately 100 ceramic coatings in last 3 years I’m only saying to help people no hate at all. Cheers

@TheBarberShopScott 2 года назад

Fortunately Avalon King is probably the easiest ceramic coating to work with on the market, but you are very correct. On our pro grade coatings we install the manufacturer actually recommends against doing cross hatch pattern and just overlapping at about 50% to ensure full and even coverage.

@B0xlife1 2 года назад

@The Forsaken One he used more than those little drops he did at first it just wasn’t on camera, this stuff is like concentrate, a little goes a long way!

@Abdullah..S 2 года назад

@The Forsaken One You overlap so you don't miss a spot

@TheBarberShopScott 2 года назад

@The Forsaken One yes, and with Avalon King you see when it's ready to be wiped off because it looks like a rainbow after the product has flashed. 1 bottle is honestly enough to do a car like this 2 times.

@TheBarberShopScott 2 года назад

@The Forsaken One after it is applied to the paint the chemical that allows the coating to bond to the clear coat, once it has a rainbow look after application (temperature and humidity play a role in this and can be anywehere from 1 minute to 10 minutes) that means it has bonded and is ready to be wiped off.

@jeffsmith9305 2 года назад

John - you should try the balled up alum foil method before trying steel wool to "polish" the chrome. alum is softer than (on metal) chrome, and doesn't leave behind steel fragments to rust in place as they become embedded. take 1ft of alum foil, wad it up, squirt some simeple green or wd40 on it, and try that.

@madmex2k 2 года назад

I used aluminum foil and glass cleaner on my 71 442 cutlass Chrome reverse rims with baby moon hubcaps, the massive chrome bumpers and the exhaust tips, and when I re-finished my chrome wheels on my 1986 Cutlass. Works great! Simple Green might be better, I think the cleaner is debatable on which to use.
