  • In this video, I will show you what it takes to remove a ceramic or graphene coating from your car, truck or motorcycle. We have to remove them here at our shop for various reasons. Either we are doing a repair on scratches, removing the coating in favor of paint protection film. There could be numerous reasons. This is how it is done.

    That folks is why Artdeshine lists metal oxide coating as professional grade. I’m thankful for all of the knowledge Brian shares so we can coat our cars with his coating. I’m still drooling over the gloss on the Camaro.

    I applied the Apex metal oxide coating in artificial light. Looked great but once in cloudy outdoor light there was major streaking on the hood. I used TW Hybrid solutions one and done compound with two separate uro 50-50 pads and a DA polisher which took all the streaking away. Re-applied the coating in outdoor cloudy light and it looks great. Thanks Brian for an excellent vid.

    "Graphene coatings" are ceramic coatings infused with graphene and still at these days remains as a gimmick for me. Not remarkable differences at all. Cool video btw Bryan most of coatings do surrender at compound and polish.

    Excellent as always, have you used a more horse soap like Carpro Descale for bonded minerals ? I’m going to experiment with it on coated cars, washed in hard water. I’d like to get to them when the mineral contamination is slight, but noticeably dulling the finish and affecting water behavior as well. It has promise of a prep soap to take off or help remove older sealants and waxes but that is another issue.

    When a ceramic coating is getting "old" and not working anymore, do you have to do this before putting on another ceramic coating? Someone told me, coatings go bad after a time, while the actual coating is still present on the car, and they have to be removed before apply a new one.

Are there any products or techniques you could share for getting into those areas if someone doesn't have a detail polisher?

  • @timmsieber1318
    @timmsieber1318 2 года назад

    For your demo, your coating applied panel was a recent coating application. Question. Is the sanding still required after your coating has been on for a number of years? Say, like more towards that 5 yr mark when it would need to be replaced?

    Honestly, why would you allow somebody to wet sand your
    clear coat to remove a ceramic
    coating?
    Leave your paint alone and stop
    applying coats of different crap-
    products that protects against
    nothing .
    Detailers cannot figure out that slapping on layers of waxes , poly
    - waxes, and ceramic and graphene
    coatings cause swirl marks and
    marring when you have to wash
    the vehicle.
    Correction wears your clear coat
    down to a point where it loses
    it' s natural shine
