    Just used the trim coat on my 2yr old rav 4. The black was looking faded and grayish until this stuff. Looks amazing after a month of rain and car washing. Shines like I just put it on. Great stuff.

    I've added the sealant to my paint and glass, i know they have a dedicated glass coating, but it's still awesome. It lets the water beed up, and you can blow the water clean off the surface without it leaving trails! Usually, with wax and water on glass and paint, the drops would leave smaller droplets. This also helps it self clean in my obervation as it lets the water pick up and retain dust as it sheds off the car. I have not had to wash my car after rains, and i have not had problems with any etching if the rain dries on it.

      I bought the ceramic sealant, and I'm now wondering is using the car wash at Sheetz is going to screw up my work. I don't have a place to wash by hand, and it's just easier. You have any take on this?

    • @jagtan13
      @jagtan13 Год назад +2

      ​@@tigergreg8 I've observed that the coating does not do well with acidic soaps/shampoo. ph neutral soaps/shampoo is your best bet at making the coating last. Also, as a topper, I've been trying gyeon wet coat ceramic coating. Both are SiO2 based and they play well. Both coatings are soft, but the ease of application makes up for their performance. I've found that the cerakote lasts about 1.5 months on its own for me.

    I bought a used freshly painted 2015 F-150 XLT just over two years ago. The black railings along the truck bed had turned grey along with the mirrors and some other plastic trim. A month later I gave it a two bucket wash and then used CeraKoat Trim Coat on and to this day the parts applied to are still black. Oh, I live in Florida and the truck is parked daily in the sun and stays in my driveway every night.

  • @RictorIAG
    @RictorIAG Год назад +6

    I think the reason they can't give a period of time that the coating will last isn't because of the paint specifically since other companies can do this. It's the surface in combination with their grid pattern of adhesion. It's fewer contact points than a full ceramic coating that has a contact point essentially everywhere. I think this is the same reason paint can breathe with this coating. Fewer points of contact allow for microscopic airflow. I'm sure it's a great product because everything Cerakote makes is amazing but it seems midway between a quick ceramic detailer and an actual ceramic coating. Would you agree?

    • @imjoshv
      @imjoshv  Год назад +6

      Yea i think youre probably right about that assumption. They label it Rapid Ceramic paint sealant so its not a full blown ceramic. They mentioned to me that they want their consumer products easy to use. Rapid Ceramic isnt something that will last 3-5 years but it definitely gives more than a ceramic detailer. I see it just like you, it sits somewhere between the two. The added benefit of the gloss enhancement is an awesome bonus that i wasnt expecting when i first heard about it, but i can see a visible difference especially on darker paints

      I saw in another video where at the plant, they performed 500 hand washes on a vehicle to test it, and some protection remained, so their claim is 250. Too many variables to make a time-based claim. Do you garage or no, what type of paint do you have, do you live in ND, CA or AK. Mileage may vary.

I was horrified. So many bad reviews all claiming the same thing and showing pictures. Many users state awful results on one piece of plastic and great ones on others, on the same vehicle. I really wanted to use this product but it seems too hit and miss. Do you think the problem is with the type of plastic itself? Would really appreciate your thoughts.

  • @Tracy3006

    This is the honest review that I left on Amazon after my awful experience with Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Paint Sealant. There are many other reviews that say basically the same thing. I will say that the headlight treatment has worked great, so far. It's only been a month so I'll see how long it lasts. The plastic treatment worked good at first, but is failing in spots after only 1 month. I'll never by these products again. Total scam on the paint sealant!
    This stuff left a worse finish on my truck than the original finish, which is sticky. My Dodge truck came from the factory with a clear coat finish called Pearl Coat. It has a nice reflective, shiny finish. But it is sticky and collects dust and dirt and is hard to keep clean. I thought Cerakote would do the trick to slick up the finish and make it easier to clean and keep clean and shiny. WRONG! The finish left on my truck after following the instructions and watching the youtube application video, and applying two coats, is worse than the original finish. IT IS NOT SLICK! After washing or rain, water actually sticks to the vertical sides of my truck! WATER DOESN'T EVEN RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK! Instead, the water beads up in tiny little beads and clings to the surface like a mist. It is much worse than the original finish, which would at least allow the water to run off the sides. Total waste of money and much effort, FOR NOTHING. Can't wait for it to wear off because it's even harder to wash now, seeing as I have to scrub off the road film and stuff that should just rinse off with the pressure washer. I could not be more disappointed and ticked off!

      Hey Joseph I asked that same thing and they said that they don’t list a hardness rating for the same reason they don’t give longevity. It will depend on the surface it’s going on. If you lay a hard coating over a soft paint it will be different than a hard coating on a hard paint. Think of it like a piece of wood on a bed. The outer shell is hard but if you push on it it still moves because of the soft layer under.
