I had to look at the previous video to see how that happened because i have used this prod in both of my cars and my clients too and never had this issue. So i spotted diferent factors that trigered that reaction to the plastic. 1. You certainly used degreaser and dawn as the instructions say but you never washed it off, just rinsed it. 2. You mixed it up with water because you did not took the time to dry it properly. Product states that surface must be clean and dry. Also pad is soaked, drenched, in product but it doesnt mean it will cover 4-6 different plastics, specially not with the size of those fenders.
I used dawn dish soap with a brush, then washed again with a terry cloth towel and dawn. I finished up by wiping it all with denatured alcohol and then applying cerakote to a completely dry surface. I don't have a jeep but I like the product on my car.
Gonna dog pile here: those streaks came from one of 2 sources: water and/or dirt. The ONLY way to clean plastic is Dawn. Scrubbed! Then fully dry before applying. Use a light to catch all the high spots. This video is clearly a result of poor prep work.
Just seeing the results it’s apparent that the prep work was off, the application pad was filthy and the only reason the mirrors and handles came out ok is because they are not as porous as the flares, they need a deep scrub and proper dry before applying
I've used it on a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 without even properly prepping the surface and it still came out looking brand new. It's been about 5-6 months and it still looks fantastic! Maybe Jeep has a different type of plastic?
I love the stuff. You don't want to over wipe this product. If it gets tacky and you wipe again..you'll get streaks. Give it a good wet coat and leave it alone. Again, if it gets tacky..don't touch it. The work time is over.
I watched your application video and discovered that the root cause was the improper preparation. As directed, the panels must be cleaned with dish washing soap or other chemicals to remove dirt and oil before the application. In your video, the wipes looked almost black after application which indicates that the panels have not been cleaned.
I had the same problem and prep work isn’t the issue. I used APC, and then dawn like suggested. I let it dry for hours unmoved. I used almost all of the packets on first application, applying it thick. It doesn’t soak in completely and evenly so in some places it actually sealed in the faded grey under the coating. Looks horrible. Cerakote told me there is no way to remove it. I regret using this stuff.
The same happened to me with my trim. Have you find a way to remove it, fix it? I did apply Solution Finish on top of it to disguised it but the coating try to reject it anyways. Some others areas looked great, as in you case.
Hi mate, I agree with you. They have a lot of positive review in Amazon. I should have believed you before I have applied it on my car. Good thing I didn’t applied it on all the plastic trims on my car. What did you do to fix these damages? I am planning to paint mine with plastic trim paint.
Same with my trims it looked great for a couple of months and then it turned faded. No matter what trim restorer i use it doesn’t do any good anymore. When it is scratched it is very visible unlike before i used the product
I did my entire Honda Ridgeline trim with about 6 pads. It turned out great, repels water really well, and still looks good. You have a lot of plastic on that jeep. Just from my own personal experience, it looks like you might not have used enough, and let the pads dry out, and before getting a fresh one, and finishing each section. Maybe you should reach out to the company, they may be able to help you out. This is the first negative review Ive seen of this product.
It's that Jeep Junk; the worst brand of American assembled automobile. No doubt their trim plastic is as defective as the rest of those mechanically deficient Junk Piles.....
I just did an 08 armada and 2018 tundra. Beautiful results. Seems like jeeps are having the most issues. Also on the armada the hood cowl has minor streaks but that’s because I tried to get to much outta one cloth. It needs to go on even and ya need to be careful to not let it pool or go on extra heavy.
I had the same issue. It is all about the prep. PREP, PREP and PREP the shit out of it. Clean it three times and let it dry really GOOD. Like go and get a sandwich and take a crap and maybe walk the dog, GOOD.
I agree with this video. Looked great for a week. No looks blotchy as hell. CERAKOTE refunded my money through amazon! But now they have no experience or data on painting over it. Crap product for jeep textured flares and bumpers. Now I’ll probably have to replace them. More $$.
I did a brand new cowl on a 17 ram. Q2m prep. In a garage. Turned out terrible. Did the black between the door windows starting to turn white. Ugh. I can't sand textured plastic. Can it be removed
It did same thing to mine, I followed their instructions, it looked great initially, next morning entire trim looked like someone sand papered it. terrible product
Your prep was fine, the streaks mean too little product not evenly applied, especially over such a large area of textured plastic. You needed two coats at least.
I used it on all the exterior trim and it came out AMAZING! I prepped it differently. Just used dish soap to clean and 90% alcohol afterwards. I did only one layer, as it already made it look like brand new, so I didn't feel the need for a second layer. I have 6 wipes remaining and I'll just use them to top off in a year or two.
Mine was good overall on fender trim. One fender did have two light colored streaks. Tried to touch it up later and it didn’t help. Mirror caps came out decent. Thanks for the info man.
I had the opposite problem, on the smoother plastics it went on super thick and I got these high spot lines. It looks terrible. On my bumper, it looks fine
After watching your video I was scared to do my truck. I don’t understand what happened to your results. I just finished a 2019 F150 XL (all plastic grill, mirrors, bed caps) and it looks great. I see other Jeep videos like one from Apex Detail and Full Stop Entertainment and their results look good. I’m not saying you’re wrong or anything like that but I wonder what happened. Project Farm did a test on his old beater truck and his looked good too. A lot of people say this stuff is amazing and my results matches theirs.
I’m a car detailer, I’ve used this stuff for 5 years on GMs Fords Chryslers and foreign cars with excellent results. I don’t know what it is, but the Jeeps I’ve done have always looked horrible. I’ve stopped putting it on Jeeps altogether. I now use Stoner products on Jeeps. It don’t last as long but it looks much better.
I tried it on my textured mud flaps and it took two applications and it looks okay but there are parts that are coming off. Switched to cera trim and it is taking like a pro looks good and they say 12 to 18 month longevity..
Hope cerakote tech guys reached out to you. I’m a cerakoter for 5 years, I haven’t tried it but sold some kits. I mainly cerakote but the staff is very helpful.
Same result as this on rear passenger quarter panel. A little worse but same overall result. Didn't have this problem at all first 2 times i used this product and amazing results.
I had the same results on my SUV, I take care a lot of my vehicle just like you and had the same problem. Now my SUV looks like a 15 years old car. Im trying to remove it with magic eraser and dawn dish soap, lets see the results!
@@googleuser2666 yes it did work, buuuuuuut it took me a lot of time and effort and the results didnt match the original look…. Its a crappy product, dont use it!!!!
This product is good BUT it's only good if you use a microfiber towel right after application to remove extra product that WILL leave that streak affect. If you use a towel right after application it comes out looking perfect. I know from experience sadly
Use a heat gun and penetrol. Just get the plastic hot. It doesn’t need to be super hot and then apply uneven coat of penetrol Let it dry for about 12 hours. It will look brand new for a long time. You can also heat the plastic with the heat gun keep the heat gun moving he will start to see the plastic turning black again once you complete the job, put a coat of clear motor oil over it while it is still hot. Be careful to protect the paint while using the heat gun.
Just my opinion if your fenders streak it’s because you didn’t put enough of the product on the fender I’ve seen it done multiple times sometimes you have to put more than one or two applications it depends on how bad the fender were when you started.
If you want a matte looking finish, don't use Cerakote. Used it on my dash and regret it. It didn't streak, just too glossy. Partly my mistake for not checking more reviews. Worked great on my exterior trim, I will say that. Apply fairly quickly as the pads will dry rock hard. And use the gloves they provide, somewhat hard to remove off skin.
Try a DA polisher with a microfiber pad and Carpro Essence. I have had Jeep fenders come into my shop looking like this and I polish them out and the look better then new. YES, the textured plastic can be polished.
@@brayanmata not sure on the coated stuff. I haven't tried polishing coated plastic yet. I would imagine it would take a heavy compound to remove the coating, then refine from there. I'm not impressed with Cerakote as it's damn near impossible to get it to lay down even with no streaks. I personally think it would be much better if the sold it in liquid form, then we could use whatever application method that works best for the job. Until then I won't use Cerakote again.
@@jeremyevans5864 depends on the application your using it for. Coat last longer in my opinion. However it doesn't work well on textured surfaces well but it can work.
Bro, this was straight up operator error. 5 packs (cloths) is not near enough to do the entire Jeep. I used one cloth per fender and then did a second coat (so 8 cloths total just for fenders). You're saying you did the whole Jeep with 5 cloths. No wonder it turned out terrible.
Hi There! I am sorry this happened to you. But Cerakote come up very well amongst competitive products in the market. Please wash your femders and try again.
Cerakote streaked very badly on my car, too. I contacted them and they suggested removing the Cerakote with a Magic Eraser soaked in non-acetone nail polish remover. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
The product isn't junk. You just have to be smarter than the package. You're damaging the reputation of a product because you can't read and follow instructions.
Don’t blame the product Blame yourself I did my brother’s car it looks amazing You have to just wipe on the product not work in the product In my case when it gets streaky it means you need a new wipe
this is the only video i found that told the truth about this product. because of the rave reviews from other channels i applied it to my H2 and brand new truck -TERRIBLE RESULTS THAT ARE NOW SHOWING IN THE MORNING!! do not buy! how do i remove this from my vehicles
You did something wrong. I’ve done about 20 of these jeeps full Cerakote. Customers showed me the cars a month later and it looked as good as I left it. This is USER ERROR.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience. Sorry it didn't work out for you. I wish car companies would stop using all that crappy black plastic in the first place. In my ideal world, you give the customers something they need, they want, and that will last. Oh yeah, then you can't monetize them again and again and again. Before you replace all the plastic on your rig, I'd like to suggest you research trim and bumper paint, it might be a cheaper solution. Good luck.
It looks terrible because you didn't prep the plastic correctly before applying CeraKote. I've been using it for the trim on my Subaru WRX for years and it's phenomenal. Don't malign the product for your own mistake.
Lol at wrangler folks who buy a Jeep and want it to look pristine for life. Aren’t Jeep’s supposed to look rugged and dirty?😂. Anyways, based on comments it seems like your prep wasn’t correct. But aside from that I have a 99 Jeep Cherokee and frankly I could not care less about some minor streaks. You guys ever see how faded the trim gets on those things? The simple fact you can get the trim looking BLACK without having to remove it and paint it is worth the $20 price tag for this stuff. Even if it does streak a little bit.
Basically in short you can't blame it on the product because this product has excellent reviews and everybody loves it. The problem is you. You did not prep it properly and you did not apply it properly. If you really want your fenders to look nice I would paint them with herculaner
This stuff ruined my trim. Damaged the entire trim on my 2019 ram 1500 bed. Do not buy this stuff. Anyone know how to remove this stuff or restore my trim? Left a bunch of spots like water spots or something and won't come off!
All those cleaners are garbage when it comes to removing the plastic restorers. The only way to remove the plastic restorers is with vegetable oil and acetone mix with a plastic bristle brush then washing it off with dish soap or liquid laundry detergent. The acetone breaks down the former chemical restorers and they're suspended in the vegetable oil long enough so they can be mixed with liquid soap and rinsed away with water. All that said, Cerakote, due to it's poor applicator cloths, is incapable of providing a streak free coating over large textured plastics. They need to use a microfiber cloth and have some sort of solvent spritz to spray on the coating while spreading it with a micro fiber cloth. But the streaking you have, is due to not removing the former restorers that are embedded down in the low regions of the textured plastic, they're still there causing the light gray coloration... That requires a vegetable oil suspension with acetone to pull them up and out and the vegetable oil keeps them suspended and emulsified even after the acetone evaporates. Need both mixed to get the restorers to loosen and then remove the restorers, use the liquid soaps to cut the dirty vegetable oil and remove it from the surface via water.
You definitely used it wrong or something....I have been using this and this product is way better than anything else on the market....if used as directed...
One would have to think that you didn't follow directions or take the advice of those Cerakote users like me who have had great results with that product. But may someone suggest Another possibility for your failure ? Look at what you are attempting to 'restore'; the obviously DEFECTIVE plastic on THE Worst brand of American assembled automobile--Jeep--. they have the reputation of being mechanically THE Biggest Pile o' Junk on the road....so just how good should anyone expect their non-metallic trim parts to be ? Try that coating on a vehicle of Quality, not junk.....
@@car_detailing0327 Cerakote told me the only way to remove is to use a non acetone nail polish remover and a magic eraser to mechanically a braise the black trim surface to remove....fuck that i haven't tried yet and the trim is starting to really look like shit
@@blvckspectrvm5398 yeah, it’s been 3 months and I’ve noticed it’s starting to wear off on the lower plastic, but the rubber window trim looks all cracked and messed it
obviously u did something wrong. Probably didn't clean it prior to applying or went cheap and used only 1 wipe. The trim MUST BE VIRGIN. If u don't prep it right it comes out just like yours. Not the product...you dude.

Hi. Please let us know how it goes. Thanks
Did my 2014 F150 3weeks ago. Wash, rinse, dry,dry,dry. All looks fine after gravel driveway and several thunderstorms.
Agreed same thing happened to my Honda Element fenders ! Some streaking looks like crap ! Trying to find a way to remove it . Thanks for posting

This guy did a one year test and this was one of the best ones
High humidity can cause what happened. What state are you in. And what time of year did you do this.
Never had this issue with cerakote. Looks like a bad chemical reaction with something that was previously on there

Should’ve read the instructions. Says it won’t work on textured surfaces.
I mean that part that he did is the exact Jeep wheel well that's pictured on the 10 wipes Cerakote pack
Just today wiped it on my wife's highlander. The highlander has alot of zebraing. looks great lets hope it look like that in the morning.
Have you found a way to remove it. I did this on my vehicle and looks horrible.
Nope. Ended up buying different fenders and color matched them.

You did a poor job cleaning and applying the product. Some badly UV'd services need to coating's. Did you think of that before skulling the product ?

Basically in short you can't blame it on the product because this product has excellent reviews and everybody loves it. The problem is you. You did not prep it properly and you did not apply it properly. If you really want your fenders to look nice I would paint them with herculaner
This stuff ruined my trim. Damaged the entire trim on my 2019 ram 1500 bed. Do not buy this stuff. Anyone know how to remove this stuff or restore my trim? Left a bunch of spots like water spots or something and won't come off!
Val same here on my 2012 Ram. Reached out to Cerakote but no response yet. Did you find a fix for it?
@@SonicServicesLlc the response people have gotten from them that I have seen is a magic eraser sponge with non acetone nail polish remover.
Isnt this the guy who knocked the shit of a product called plasti dip
All those cleaners are garbage when it comes to removing the plastic restorers. The only way to remove the plastic restorers is with vegetable oil and acetone mix with a plastic bristle brush then washing it off with dish soap or liquid laundry detergent. The acetone breaks down the former chemical restorers and they're suspended in the vegetable oil long enough so they can be mixed with liquid soap and rinsed away with water.
All that said, Cerakote, due to it's poor applicator cloths, is incapable of providing a streak free coating over large textured plastics. They need to use a microfiber cloth and have some sort of solvent spritz to spray on the coating while spreading it with a micro fiber cloth.
But the streaking you have, is due to not removing the former restorers that are embedded down in the low regions of the textured plastic, they're still there causing the light gray coloration... That requires a vegetable oil suspension with acetone to pull them up and out and the vegetable oil keeps them suspended and emulsified even after the acetone evaporates. Need both mixed to get the restorers to loosen and then remove the restorers, use the liquid soaps to cut the dirty vegetable oil and remove it from the surface via water.
What ratio do you mix
You definitely used it wrong or something....I have been using this and this product is way better than anything else on the market....if used as directed...
One would have to think that you didn't follow directions or take the advice of those Cerakote users like me who have had great results with that product. But may someone suggest Another possibility for your failure ? Look at what you are attempting to 'restore'; the obviously DEFECTIVE plastic on THE Worst brand of American assembled automobile--Jeep--. they have the reputation of being mechanically THE Biggest Pile o' Junk on the road....so just how good should anyone expect their non-metallic trim parts to be ? Try that coating on a vehicle of Quality, not junk.....
looks bad but im going to say you didnt use it correctly because just have not had any bad EXPERIANCE with this product AT ALL
I used it on my Toyota Rav 4 looked beautiful for 2 days now looks worst than ever JUNK
Hey. How TF do I remove this garbage?? I put it on and now it’s streaky,splotchy and chalky
@@doneworking8134 no never found anything, I’ve just been waiting it out and it’s seemed to be a little better, I just waited
@@car_detailing0327 Cerakote told me the only way to remove is to use a non acetone nail polish remover and a magic eraser to mechanically a braise the black trim surface to remove....fuck that i haven't tried yet and the trim is starting to really look like shit
@@blvckspectrvm5398 yeah, it’s been 3 months and I’ve noticed it’s starting to wear off on the lower plastic, but the rubber window trim looks all cracked and messed it
@@car_detailing0327 how long and any updates? im having the same issue
The problem is a Chrysler product
obviously u did something wrong. Probably didn't clean it prior to applying or went cheap and used only 1 wipe. The trim MUST BE VIRGIN. If u don't prep it right it comes out just like yours. Not the product...you dude.

JEEP = Just Experience Evey Problem.

You didn’t prep correctly

Typical ignorance of a guy that wears his hat backwards.
