I know im randomly asking but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@James Dayton Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I don’t comment often, but this channel is underrated. Very informative, host speaks clearly, good camera angles to actually see the paint, and gets to the point. I hate the others who have endless babbling, fail at being funny, clickbait, etc. Nice job, keep it up. New subscriber
The biggest misconception about ceramic coating that I think many have is, that you don't need to look after your car or it's easier to wash. You need to have exactly the same routine and respect for your car as if you just use wax or sealant. The difference is the appearance after and as long as you wash correctly, swirls are much harder to get. But ceramic coating is NOT and maintenance free solution. But if you can't be bothered to clean you car properly, then ceramic is not for you.
I did my 2023 Gladiator Fire Cracker Red. Ceramic coating and clear bra. Its sits in the garage collecting dust. It looks fantastic. Glad I looked this up. I might wash it today.
Awesome! I would like to know how you take care of your microfibers like a dedicated video. You trash them, wash them or how do you guys mantain spray coating ones. Cheers
Yeah. I know a guy named fast eddy, he’s great. Just leave the car in front of the colosseum with the keys under the visor and $500 In the glove box. He’ll take care of the rest.
To be honest, this is $700 work. You should learn to do this on your car. 20+ years ago when I started we didn't have RUclips really. So you are at an advantage to knowledge.
very informative videos on the ceramic coating topic. Having trouble with water spots only on the hood/bonnet of a 5mth old car that had ceramic coating treatment. Had not heard that the morning spray from the hose to clear mist/frost from windows in winter, could leave water spots from the splash not being dried. Seems the likely culprit, however, what to do on occasions where a car is rained on and obviously can't be dried off. I assumed the hydrophobioc effect was supposed to be precisely to stop spotting.
Difficult to stop rain water from evaporating on the car and leaving contaminates behind. I live in a hard water area and consequently I fill 25litre plastic jerries at a demineralised water machine. Water from these machines is used by window cleaners' for the non drying method to avoid any water spots. Works superbly well on the car using the suction function on the Karcher. My car has front end PPF and Ceramic on the rest of the body and wheels. Now retired, I enjoy washing the car (no waxing necessary) after half a lifetime of hand wash services.
Jason Thanks for the great information and the video with Steve at Colorado Detail! I decided to have Steve do the clear wrap and ceramic after checking out other shops to compare product quality. Steve really cares about his customer satisfaction and I think he is the best in the Denver area!
Sorry I put ceramic coating on. Car. Got talked into by the dealer I brought car for. Was also told I could go through a drive. LIE !! They just wanted to make more money on me.I am a senior & like my life simple. Wash car & go !! But I have to take car of the care with TLC..watching a couple of your videos & wanted to THANK You For the information !! 👍
I agree that you're not supposed to rinse your car and just let the drops sit there, but for some of us that happens anyway because we live in areas where dew condenses on our car early in the morning.
Awesome Channel Jason!! I just traded my Z06 Corvette for a new RipTide Blue C8 Corvette. I am debating PPF vs Ceramic. I’d love the PPF but being semiretired i need to watch my denaro a little bit. Probably go with the Ceramic. My Z06 had Cilijet ceramic coating and really stayed pretty nice…A few questions….1) What do you think of Cilijet??? YOUR ceramic recommendations??? 2) I have routinely used a “Masterblaster” to dry the car…minimizing contact…your thoughts?? Thank you…Dr Bob
Protect your paint with clearcoat. Protect your clearcoat with Ceramic Coating. Protect your ceramic Coating with this new Coating. Protect that coating with this even newer coating O_O. See where this is going.
Jeez, i wish my epensive dealer coating had come with instructons. It seems they forget to sell me the maintenance kit for it. My first wash was after 3 days! After 11 months, its losing its hydroscopicity, hence trying to find out maintenance other than washing. I won't be replacing it. As I had no idea what soap to use, I have just carried on using Meguires wash and wax stuff that worked pretty well on my 2006 car. 😮
Which dealer coating was it? There's plenty of ceramic coatings available at carsupplieswarehouse.com and we have videos that can help you out! Feel free to DM us on Instagram, and we can point you in the right direction. Cheers!
Help with Ceramic Coating quantity. So I have 2 vehicles I’ve been slowly doing paint correction on. One is a GMC Acadia and the other is a 4 door Audi A4. Wondering how many ML’s or OZ I would probably need to ceramic coat both myself. Love the Videos. Keep me busy at work :) Thanks.
30ml is plenty to do a regular sized sedan. You would probably be cutting it close with 50ml bottle to do both vehicles. This will also depend on the brand and how many layers you plan on doing.
Would like to know what chemicals to stay away from after coating.. Is there any that will strip the coating or break the coating down if you use them? Didn't know you can use a Iron remover after coating... TY
Jason Lowe ceramic coatings are very chemical resistant but with that being said you wanna be washing it with a ph balanced car shampoo that won’t break down the coating’s hydrophobics as that can happen to any coating if not maintained properly. A coating should not be stripped by any “stripping” chemical meant to get rid of waxed and sealants. But like I said if you wash your coated car with alkaline products and not ph balanced products you will be breaking down what makes the coating be super hydrophobic. The coating won’t be gone but what makes it bead like crazy will disappear. And like any coating after about a month or two it’s good to use the dedicated maintenance product to rejuvenate the coating’s hydrophobics. Hope this helped
And yes you can use a iron remover on coatings, this is actually something that can really bring back the hydrophobics of a coating as all the contaminates on the paint are holding onto the water and not letting it bead and sheet off the paint.
Thanks for this video man, lots of my customers think ceramic is bulletproof, I always try to educate them about this and let them know it’s not just for everybody.
Chicago Auto Pros I’d be helpful if you guys make a video on how to base our prices once we start our own business, it’s hard for me to know how to charge costumers. Thanks
From the sounds of it Do I need to stop going thru my automatic carwash with rag type washing the once a week I am doing now in my 2008 BMW 328i which I just Love :) , I pay One fee and it gives me unlimited washes thru the month ,I go once week without question, and do you sell the product you mentioned in video (ceramic mantinence spray that can be used on any car whether I have a coating or not?
We have two race cars that have ceramic coatings on them. I believe it's called The X system. We cannot get these cars soaking wet. And take a chance of some of these expensive electrical component getting damaged. What do you recommend we do to maintain these without having to wash them? They are race cars they get treated pretty roughly sometimes. And get tons of scratches on them during the process of a race.
So can we do waterless washing that contain wax on ceramic coating car? I like to waterless washing when there is thin dust on my car. Btw, nice helpful information!
Hi jason, a big fan from Malaysia. I have several questions regarding the aftercare: 1. How frequent should a coated be washed? 2. After curing for 24hrs you mentioned that it would be continue to cure for at least 1-2 weeks, is it safe for customers to wash their car within that stage? 3. If customer comes back at me after a month of not washing their car with tar/grimes all over shall we do a maintenance? *The weather here in Malaysia is tropical, its very hot & humid haha we rain most of the times too
Dude, I'm waaaay late to this vid. What year is your MK7? Do you still own it? I have a modded '17 S manual. I respect yours still has the stock Austen wheels and still appears stock. The white looks really nice. In the right hands, that color looks sooo right on that car.
Very helpful thx . I have a ceramic coat on my car and I wash it with the soap jet spray at the wash , I never touch the car with a sponge or brush but I do wipe down dry with a (washed) soft water absorbent towel . Car is 6 months old and seems to be relatively swirl and scratch free , I’m happy with what I’m doing .
Iron & tar are not always enough… here in belgium the weather is sh*t. A lot of grime will build up after time, and creat a ‘road film’ on top of the coating. What product(s) are you guys using for this ?
I got my car ceramic coated. Was done at about 5pm. But at night it was cool and humid. The next morning, it was really humid and i could see tiny water droplets on the top of my car. Is my ceramic coat screwed?
How do I wash it in winter climate after cermic coating- just got mine done in the winter 🤦🏿♂️. How many times do I wash we get alot of snow in upstate NY
I purchased a dewalt cordless dual action polisher and 2 batteries for a DIY ceramic coating project during quarantine. After coating the car, will I have any use for the polisher on a routine basis or should I re-sell the polisher? Thx for the tips and advice!
Hi Jason, I just took ownership of a Maserati Ghibli S and I paid for ceramic coating. Can you tell me, after watching this video, can I use a good quality microfibre cloth on the ceramic coating or is there something that would be softer for application of treatments etc. great video btw and thanks in advance. Paul in UK
Hey Jason as always great work my friend.. thanks to you and every member of the crew, they is ALWAYS something to learn for your videos thanks again. also I’m not sure if it’s true, but I heard that you’re going to opening a new location right here in New York?
If I have to choose between Aero Shield Diamond 10H or Feynlab Heal Lite for 5 year ceramic and the detailers are equal in price( close to ) which product would you suggest. Genesis GV80, 20K+ miles per year , location Pacific Northwest.. great videos and looking for your expertise. Thank you
Watched your vid on ceramic maintenance, my question is after washing is it safe to use a a Iron out spray to remove further paint contamination and not hurt ceramic coating
Loving your vids Jason. Just had my 2018 GTI 2 stage polished and ceramic coated, is Auto Finesse Citrus Power safe to use as a pre wash? Is Autoglym UHD safe to use? Is P&S Bead Maker a good topper to use with a ceramic coat? Asking, as I already have these products, thanks in advance
Hey dudes, thanks for the video. Question, I'm planning on getting my car coated with CSU and then EXO. I don't have a garage so I'm hoping it's not going to rain in the 24 hours after coating is applied. Would putting a soft car cover on it be worse than it getting wet by rain?
What’s some less expensive products we can use? What TFR should you use on a ceramic coated car. I didn’t know you could use a iron fallout remover on it wow. Great info
It is the same exact recommended maintenance than a non coated vehicle, y'all just don't know how to wash, so now that you see a video explaining how to properly maintain a vehicle, you're stumped. Washing a coated car is much easier than a non coated vehicle. Wash media has less friction on surface, dirt cleans off easier, car dries easier and looks freshly detailed after just a maintenance wash. Coated cars can stay cleaner for longer compared to one that's not. My clients comment on that all the time.
If your car has ceramic coating, and you're gone for 4-6 months out of the year (winter time) and the car isn't garaged what are some precautions to take?
Jason - appreciate the video & your channel in general! I've learned a lot from your videos. I'm currently going through the process of ceramic coating my vehicle and for those of us that want to maintain our paint post coating, but aren't going to go to the extreme of doing so properly, can you do a video for ideas / suggestions for the average person. For example, if we're going to use an auto wash or manual wash car wash, what would be the best kind / style of car wash to use. What spray products should we avoid & which ones are decent options, etc. Basically, a video on what would be a good way to maintain our coating if we're not overly concerned / motivated / etc when it comes to doing it perfectly? Would it be OK to go to a drive through wash & use a shammy, no shammy, ceramic spray, no spray, detailing spray instead, what kind of wheel cleaner or none? You get the drift... Thank you!!!
I think if you can't take care of your car post ceramic coating, don't do it. It's going to be a waste of money. Taking care means giving your car 20 minutes everyday. If you can give 20 minutes everyday, go for ceramic coating. The thing that bothers me is that no one talks about what happens to the cars original paint when the ceramic coating wears off after many years.
If you don't maintain it properly, it won't last, period. The regular maintenance is not difficult. It's a proper hand wash. If you're an auto wash type of person, your car will not look new very long.
Very good video, thank you for taking the time to educate us too. Question: Do you also think automatic touchless washes are bad? I totally get why the spin brushes are bad, but how about touchless washes?
Is the C2 that you spray on your drying towel a ceramic coating maintainence spray? Or is it a type of "quick detailer" or something else? even after you blow dry the car I assume that the C2 "drying" process is to remove leftover moisture or just to apply the C2?
awesome tips. QQ: What product do you recommend for "ceramic coating" modern headlights? they are "plasticky" so I'm wondering what gtechniq product would you recommend to protect these surfaces such as headlights and taillights? thanks!
I just bought a 2015 car 3 weeks ago with immaculate yellow paint, and had a ceramic coating and protective plastic wrap. The rear of the car (diffuser) is collecting soot from the exhaust pipes and don’t want to come off. The dealer advised to clay bar the diffuser to remove the soot. I have see online where the clay bar is an abrasive substance and it will damage the ceramic coating. What do you recommend?
Hi @ChicagoAutoPros , is that a noodle wash pad you are using? Been trying to find a pad rather than mitt but there aren't many. Which one are you using in this video? I can't find it in your favourite product list in the description box. Thanks
Hi. May I know what product you spray on the ceramic coated car as a form of protection after drying your vehicle after car wash. Thank you. From Singapore
Thank you for sharing such a detailed video. All your videos are so educational. I live in New Delhi, India where the air quality is really bad and there’s a lot of dust in the air. As a result, by the end of the day my car does get a fine layer of dust on it. I’m waiting on delivery of my new car on which I will get PPF and ceramic coating. I was wondering if you’d recommend a weekly wash or maybe a waterless rinse every two days? How do I tackle the dust coating that I will get daily? I’ll do a deep wash once a week on sundays.
You can use McKee’s N-914 Rinseless Wash in a sprayer like the ik multipro, only need to use 1/2 oz per 30oz of water. Spray it on, rinse with water, dry, done! The N-914 has great lubricating properties and helps lift dirt off, great for what you’re looking for, and use it before you do a regular wash as well to help lubricate and remove contaminates.
Can you wash a ceramic coated car too much by hand? Does the ceramic wear out if I do? Also wouldn't you prefer using a cordless leaf blower to dry rather than a microfiber? Any benefits?
No, I don't think you can wash your car too much. A ceramic coating is going to naturally diminish over time but washing with normal soaps is nothing to worry about. Yes I would love a cordless blower, if you find one with good power and will last all day let me know.
Chicago Auto Pros thanks! I’m a big fan of the Ego series with the larger battery. You can do three cars and just swap batteries out between cars. You guys put the bug in my ear when I saw yours so I looked cordless and had great results. It’s also a good product placement for them sponsorship wise.
Question: mu car is coated aswell and had a full decon, still some spots on the car are not feeling like a mirror when i use ceramic detailer afterwards, idk what to do about it.
Great vid! I live up North where they cover the roads in salt and brine all winter. I have csl+exov4 on my truck... is c2v3 only supposed to be applied after a full maintenance wash or should something like reload be used to restore the hydrophobics?
Specifically designed for ceramic coatings -> I use CarPro Lift in a foam cannon, then CarPro Reset in the hand wash. Every 2 months, after drying, use CarPro Reload spray sealant as a topper for the ceramic coating. Comes out squeaky clean & shiny, keeps your expensive coating in top notch!
You mentioned dont just hose it down unless you are going to be washing it, due to the chemical reaction on the paint with the water. What about rain? Im about to buy a new car and want to look after it as well as I can.
You mentioned auto car wash is bad, which is true, but what's your opinion on touchless car wash, let's say just as an in between quick option if I can't get to washing my car quick enough.
Yes, getting protection options on a new car is the best time to do it. Find a location detailer in your area with a good reputation, there are a lot of great brands on the market. www.carsupplieswarehouse.com/pages/detailwise
Oh great! I guess my qtechniq coating is messed up. It rained two days after I got my car back and it has rained everyday since then. Should I be worried?
I have an e46 m3 that is washed every week, waxed every month, and covered with an oem car cover every day. Been thinking about a coating since the last guy did a poor job buffing and there is plenty of swirls. Is a car cover okay for a coating? I try and get my car cover washed once every 6 months.
Just ceramic coated my new Harley. Cured in the garage. I notice dust settled on it. Do I have to re-wash the bike again or is there a product I can use to wipe it down?
Do I have to use a si02 based drying aid? I got some meguiars Ultimate Quick Wax id like to burn through before buying si02 stuff. And while I'm asking I got final inspection and would like to burn through that too before buying ceramic only detailer. Thoughts?
I got a ceramic coating from a Gtechniq licensed place. It rained 5 days later and I have water spots all over my truck. Also, my windshield gets extremely dirty quickly and when I use the wipers and the wiper fluid, it just smears all the filth and leaves huge streaks across my windshield. Is any of this normal?

Hi. I just rinse & towel dry my ceramic coated '21 Corvette convertible once in a while.
Not a daily driver.
It shines like crazy.
Does ph neutral shampoo make different????
Can you or anyone in the Phoenix, AZ area recommend a detailer with the same level of professionalism and care I am seeing in your videos?
Yeah. I know a guy named fast eddy, he’s great. Just leave the car in front of the colosseum with the keys under the visor and $500 In the glove box. He’ll take care of the rest.

What happens if we drive our car in the rain, or it gets rained on when parked outside and it can't be dried? Will this result in water spots?

Nice video my friend, long time ago. We need to catch up somethimes.
Hey brother! Thank you and yes it's been to long. Stay safe man and keep up the videos, love watching them.
That's a sweet black Ram 1500 in the background at 0:40. Though I am a little bias because it's mine. Great video.
Excellent video Jason. You've come a long ways with your channel over the years. Good for you man.
I appreciate that! Hope you are well JC.
I did learn a few things, thanks. Also I really think the flow and everything else about this video was just right.
I agree that you're not supposed to rinse your car and just let the drops sit there, but for some of us that happens anyway because we live in areas where dew condenses on our car early in the morning.
Dew doesn't have minerals in it to leave behind anything permanent

What should I do if it’s been a week and I have water spots sitting on top of the paint but it hasn’t reached that two week mark yet
Really good video, lots of details, explained so even us old guys can understand..😁
Great advice I forwarded to my client so they know how to maintain.thanks Jason🇦🇺
Protect your paint with clearcoat. Protect your clearcoat with Ceramic Coating. Protect your ceramic Coating with this new Coating. Protect that coating with this even newer coating O_O. See where this is going.
Yeah having a clean car is like an addiction, better than crack I guess. 😀
Protect your paint with knowledge and due diligence. Same can be said for one’s health. It’s all about learned behaviour.
Totally man. Not for me. I’d be happier with all that money saved. Thank goodness I keep my 2 cars in the garage when not in use.
I keep two cars in the garage and three outside. All are washed and detailed regularly. It takes a full days to wash all the cars.
@@ChicagoAutoPros this makes you all my favorite car cleaning company now best comment ever love that😂😂😂😂😂

When you were wiping down the car what was the brand of those two spray bottles? Thanks.
Very good video. Everything 100% accurate

Swirls and scratches from a car wash? What about contactless washers?
How do I wash it in winter climate after cermic coating- just got mine done in the winter 🤦🏿♂️. How many times do I wash we get alot of snow in upstate NY
So would a touch less car wash with the spray afterwords be good enough for weekly maintenance?
I purchased a dewalt cordless dual action polisher and 2 batteries for a DIY ceramic coating project during quarantine. After coating the car, will I have any use for the polisher on a routine basis or should I re-sell the polisher? Thx for the tips and advice!

Hey Jason as always great work my friend.. thanks to you and every member of the crew, they is ALWAYS something to learn for your videos thanks again. also I’m not sure if it’s true, but I heard that you’re going to opening a new location right here in New York?
Thank Martin! No plans on a shop in New York.
If I have to choose between Aero Shield Diamond 10H or Feynlab Heal Lite for 5 year ceramic and the detailers are equal in price( close to ) which product would you suggest. Genesis GV80, 20K+ miles per year , location Pacific Northwest.. great videos and looking for your expertise. Thank you
I have seen shops using rotary machine with wool. Pad in ceramic mantaince is it right?
Watched your vid on ceramic maintenance, my question is after washing is it safe to use a a Iron out spray to remove further paint contamination and not hurt ceramic coating
What’s your opinion about “Ceramic Pro” ceramic coating?
What would be the best way to take a ceramic coating off to put on a fresh one? Thanks
is it normal to need PC after having ceramic for awhile from regular hand washes.
Awesome video!!! Just what I needed to send to customers. Top man👍
Perfect!
Loving your vids Jason. Just had my 2018 GTI 2 stage polished and ceramic coated, is Auto Finesse Citrus Power safe to use as a pre wash? Is Autoglym UHD safe to use? Is P&S Bead Maker a good topper to use with a ceramic coat? Asking, as I already have these products, thanks in advance
Hey dudes, thanks for the video. Question, I'm planning on getting my car coated with CSU and then EXO. I don't have a garage so I'm hoping it's not going to rain in the 24 hours after coating is applied. Would putting a soft car cover on it be worse than it getting wet by rain?
What’s some less expensive products we can use? What TFR should you use on a ceramic coated car. I didn’t know you could use a iron fallout remover on it wow. Great info
Great work on your videos and great input on what to do or not do.
great video! Just bought my first new car - '21 Subaru Crosstrek. what should I expect to pay for a ceramic coating?
With a single stage paint correction and the coating could be $500-$1,000 depending on where you go
Oh my god not sure if I’m going to ceramic coat my truck I don’t mind maintenance but sounds like a lot more work ✌️🇨🇦
Agreed, I thought getting ceramic coating would mean less maintenance, not more.
It is the same exact recommended maintenance than a non coated vehicle, y'all just don't know how to wash, so now that you see a video explaining how to properly maintain a vehicle, you're stumped.
Washing a coated car is much easier than a non coated vehicle. Wash media has less friction on surface, dirt cleans off easier, car dries easier and looks freshly detailed after just a maintenance wash. Coated cars can stay cleaner for longer compared to one that's not. My clients comment on that all the time.
If your car has ceramic coating, and you're gone for 4-6 months out of the year (winter time) and the car isn't garaged what are some precautions to take?
Ceramic coat it again in 6 months 😅
Jason - appreciate the video & your channel in general! I've learned a lot from your videos. I'm currently going through the process of ceramic coating my vehicle and for those of us that want to maintain our paint post coating, but aren't going to go to the extreme of doing so properly, can you do a video for ideas / suggestions for the average person.
For example, if we're going to use an auto wash or manual wash car wash, what would be the best kind / style of car wash to use. What spray products should we avoid & which ones are decent options, etc.
Basically, a video on what would be a good way to maintain our coating if we're not overly concerned / motivated / etc when it comes to doing it perfectly?
Would it be OK to go to a drive through wash & use a shammy, no shammy, ceramic spray, no spray, detailing spray instead, what kind of wheel cleaner or none? You get the drift...
Thank you!!!
I think if you can't take care of your car post ceramic coating, don't do it. It's going to be a waste of money. Taking care means giving your car 20 minutes everyday. If you can give 20 minutes everyday, go for ceramic coating.
The thing that bothers me is that no one talks about what happens to the cars original paint when the ceramic coating wears off after many years.
If you don't maintain it properly, it won't last, period. The regular maintenance is not difficult. It's a proper hand wash. If you're an auto wash type of person, your car will not look new very long.
@@nasdoc1 the same thing that happens when a wax where's off... nothing.
It doesn't intermix with the car paint, it bonds to the surface of it.
Should I use C2 v3 liquid crystal for every time I do car wash? Will it cause some "build up"?
Can I use any ceramic maintenance spray or is it better to use one from the same brand as the ceramic coating that was applied??
Can you use quick ceramic detailer like gyeon cure to wipe off any water spots after 24hours of curing time ?
So my coated car is clean. After a drive I now have bugs. How to I find a detailer spray for coated cars and for my Matte coated
bike?
Very good video, thank you for taking the time to educate us too.
Question: Do you also think automatic touchless washes are bad? I totally get why the spin brushes are bad, but how about touchless washes?
The only bad thing about touchless is they usually recycle the water from previous washes to conserve. So the water isn't as clean as it could be .
Is the C2 that you spray on your drying towel a ceramic coating maintainence spray? Or is it a type of "quick detailer" or something else? even after you blow dry the car I assume that the C2 "drying" process is to remove leftover moisture or just to apply the C2?
awesome tips. QQ: What product do you recommend for "ceramic coating" modern headlights? they are "plasticky" so I'm wondering what gtechniq product would you recommend to protect these surfaces such as headlights and taillights? thanks!
I just bought a 2015 car 3 weeks ago with immaculate yellow paint, and had a ceramic coating and protective plastic wrap. The rear of the car (diffuser) is collecting soot from the exhaust pipes and don’t want to come off. The dealer advised to clay bar the diffuser to remove the soot. I have see online where the clay bar is an abrasive substance and it will damage the ceramic coating. What do you recommend?
Hi @ChicagoAutoPros , is that a noodle wash pad you are using? Been trying to find a pad rather than mitt but there aren't many. Which one are you using in this video? I can't find it in your favourite product list in the description box.
Thanks
Have you ever used restorfx? Would love some insight on this type of coating. Thank you!
What was that ceramic coating aftercare spray thingy? Were doing my dads new lexus ls500 ceramic and want to maintain it
Can you use W6 and W7 on top of Xpel Fusion ceramic?
Hi. May I know what product you spray on the ceramic coated car as a form of protection after drying your vehicle after car wash. Thank you. From Singapore
Thank you for sharing such a detailed video. All your videos are so educational. I live in New Delhi, India where the air quality is really bad and there’s a lot of dust in the air. As a result, by the end of the day my car does get a fine layer of dust on it. I’m waiting on delivery of my new car on which I will get PPF and ceramic coating. I was wondering if you’d recommend a weekly wash or maybe a waterless rinse every two days? How do I tackle the dust coating that I will get daily? I’ll do a deep wash once a week on sundays.
nobody answered you but you could use a quick detail spray in between washes, like Griot's speed shine.
You can use McKee’s N-914 Rinseless Wash in a sprayer like the ik multipro, only need to use 1/2 oz per 30oz of water. Spray it on, rinse with water, dry, done! The N-914 has great lubricating properties and helps lift dirt off, great for what you’re looking for, and use it before you do a regular wash as well to help lubricate and remove contaminates.
Can you wash a ceramic coated car too much by hand? Does the ceramic wear out if I do? Also wouldn't you prefer using a cordless leaf blower to dry rather than a microfiber? Any benefits?
No, I don't think you can wash your car too much. A ceramic coating is going to naturally diminish over time but washing with normal soaps is nothing to worry about. Yes I would love a cordless blower, if you find one with good power and will last all day let me know.
Chicago Auto Pros thanks! I’m a big fan of the Ego series with the larger battery. You can do three cars and just swap batteries out between cars. You guys put the bug in my ear when I saw yours so I looked cordless and had great results. It’s also a good product placement for them sponsorship wise.
Question: mu car is coated aswell and had a full decon, still some spots on the car are not feeling like a mirror when i use ceramic detailer afterwards, idk what to do about it.
whats the grace period on getting a water spot removed on the ceramic coat by just doing a regular hand wash? Once it dries theres no going back?
Great vid! I live up North where they cover the roads in salt and brine all winter. I have csl+exov4 on my truck... is c2v3 only supposed to be applied after a full maintenance wash or should something like reload be used to restore the hydrophobics?
Does the clay bar or bug and tar remover liquid remove the coating? Or they are safe?
Can I use Nu Finish Car Polish on my new Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating maintenance spray needs to be used every time you wash your car? If not would it be beneficial to do so.
Specifically designed for ceramic coatings -> I use CarPro Lift in a foam cannon, then CarPro Reset in the hand wash. Every 2 months, after drying, use CarPro Reload spray sealant as a topper for the ceramic coating. Comes out squeaky clean & shiny, keeps your expensive coating in top notch!
You mentioned dont just hose it down unless you are going to be washing it, due to the chemical reaction on the paint with the water. What about rain?
Im about to buy a new car and want to look after it as well as I can.
You mentioned auto car wash is bad, which is true, but what's your opinion on touchless car wash, let's say just as an in between quick option if I can't get to washing my car quick enough.
the iron remover or tar bug grime remover and clay bar is good to ceramic coated car?
Is the cure time the same for graphene coating
hello, great video, congrats, do you recommend a ceramic coating on brand new car? if is yes what brand, type? thank you
Yes, getting protection options on a new car is the best time to do it. Find a location detailer in your area with a good reputation, there are a lot of great brands on the market. www.carsupplieswarehouse.com/pages/detailwise
What about dust settling during curing period?
Got my car ceramic coated 4 days ago but it snowed today, should i still wait 1 more week before cleaning it?
Learned something and just subscribed too--thank you. Can I use Eagle 1 or McGuire's for the iron removal on my coating?
Oh great! I guess my qtechniq coating is messed up. It rained two days after I got my car back and it has rained everyday since then. Should I be worried?
I have water spots on my rear window, any good recommendations to get rid of them ? Thanks
CARPRO CeriGlass Polish works awesome bit.ly/34XDW07
Chicago Auto Pros do you have a video on proper use. I’ve used it twice since Purchased. Once it was really nice..
Chicago Auto Pros thanks very much, just ordered some 👍🏻 had to find a uk supplier as it was coming up as $20 delivery
@@ianmitchell9102 Clay works too.
Ian Mitchell orange hand cleaner , and compound , 75% ,25% ! And buff it out
I have an e46 m3 that is washed every week, waxed every month, and covered with an oem car cover every day. Been thinking about a coating since the last guy did a poor job buffing and there is plenty of swirls. Is a car cover okay for a coating? I try and get my car cover washed once every 6 months.
Just ceramic coated my new Harley. Cured in the garage. I notice dust settled on it. Do I have to re-wash the bike again or is there a product I can use to wipe it down?
Do I have to use a si02 based drying aid? I got some meguiars Ultimate Quick Wax id like to burn through before buying si02 stuff. And while I'm asking I got final inspection and would like to burn through that too before buying ceramic only detailer. Thoughts?
My new is getting ceramic coating on body and wheels after seeing this seems like a lot of work may cancel .
I got a ceramic coating from a Gtechniq licensed place. It rained 5 days later and I have water spots all over my truck. Also, my windshield gets extremely dirty quickly and when I use the wipers and the wiper fluid, it just smears all the filth and leaves huge streaks across my windshield. Is any of this normal?
You make *the best* videos for detailing!!!!
