Great video! Question - I wrapped my car in XPEL stealth and ceramic coated that about 5 years ago. The coating seems mostly done and I’d like to re-coat it. Do I need to strip the coating first or can I just re-coat it as it is?
Off topic question, I have a new Lexus GX 550, what should i use to wipe and protect the interior-it has a few different materials to deal with, along with soft touch on the dash...thanks!
I believe he is referring to a refinement set. Usually compounding is only necessary with a professional/accredited correctly applied coating (no high spots), just as the principle in a normal paint correction you always want to refine after compounding to remove any haze/micro marring and to get as much gloss as possible from the finish With the enthusiast/Prosumer coatings, a Rupes yellow and KC f6 is probably the perfect combo/starting point, a set that's between 20-40 seconds (depending on technique/machine/conditions/clearcoat) will be enough to remove those coatings and achive some light correction. The compounding stage of this video is exactly what you are looking for as an indicator (the visible difference/hazy/cloudy border)if your strategy is working for removing a coating. It's an awesome video dude knows his stuff.
Excellent instructions. Thank you for the great detail.
Great topic for a video. Very impressive work. Thank you!
I'd rather stick with one year coatings. That way I can still clay and lightly polish without wondering if I'm abrading away at my multi year coating.
Man this is a good point. Underrated.
superb info, really clear and to the point 👍
Also you can use Kamikaze 5 to remove ceramic coating
Thanks. This was very informative.
Helpful video. Thx
Do I need to remove ceramic coating before installing my spoiler?

How about coating on trims and claddings?
Interesting. 🇨🇦👍👍
Great video. I didn’t know it needed a second step to remove the ceramic coating. Are you saying to use the car pro twice around the entire vehicle?

Compound then polish. I never 1 step a car
What’s your favorite coating to use?
What about removing existing coating on XPEL PPF before reapplying a new coating?
Mechanical abrasion. Need a polish with a long working time & lubrication
Recommendations on a polish?
@@randycaldararo2291The Last Cut line has both of those things!
What a pointless video . Plus how many people gets a f40 to coat never mind 35+ old car that still has factory paintwork 🥱🥱🥱
