- Diamond Pro Tech is the new kid on the block so to speak when it comes to coatings. They are nano diamond and polymer composite coatings and not ceramic. Diamond Body is an 18 month coating. I chose it for the fact that my Camaro is a garaged vehicle. It will exceed the claimed longevity as it is not used as often.
The car was polished with Dr. Beasley's NSP 95 and then two layers of Diamond Body was applied.
This video goes over the application of the coating which is user friendly along with a walk around and a demonstration of the hydrophobic behavior with the infamous spray bottle.

Another amazing review Mike still waiting for it to land here in the uk
Keep it up
Just started watching. Looks good even before the coating is applied. 🙂
Hey Mike. I'm rewatching this video again (youtube suggested it to me for some reason).
You mentioned smeariness during the walk-around...I'm really starting to think that you might've been running into compatibility issues with the NSP. I know you've had good luck with NSP and other coatings, but those were all ceramic based (even the graphene ones are primarily ceramic). Since the Diamond Protech coatings are composite nano-diamond and PHPS (no SIO2 except for Quick Body), I think you might've had different results if you had used DPT's prep spray (same goes for your glass and wheel coatings).
The Rag Company did a video called "How to Eliminate High Spots from Ceramic Coatings" where they tested DB36 with different prep sprays and it was really noticeable how different the coating behaved based on what prep was used. I've applied Diamond Body a couple times, and it flashes quite fast (much faster than what you were seeing). I never ran into any smeary spots like you mentioned.
I haven't seen the Diamond Body coatings since I've applied them, but I haven't heard anything negative either (friend's vehicles). The DB36 I applied to my personal vehicle is performing to my expectations so far, though I've only washed it once. I'll let you know if I run into any issues.
New to the channel and checking out more videos on your channel. Mustang guy here but glad to still see SS muscles being cared for and loved. +like/+sub
Great video Mike i learned ALOT
Great video. I just placed an order for two Coating Caddys thank you. My Charger is white but I was able to coat outside in the sun when it was cool out. Yeah white vehicles are very different to see the flashing than with dark vehicles.
Thanks. Those coating caddy’s are worth it. What coating did you use?
Appreciate the POV with the go pro, I’ll be using this as my tutorial to apply the few kits of body 36 for my parents daily drivers. Great vid and nice rides 👍🏾
Let me know how it goes. I have not had a chance to get to DB36 yet. It’s still sitting on my shelf.
LoL at the textured gloves. Do what you gotta do. Car looks good (as always) The coating seems promising. And thanks for the snipped of the Coating Caddy™ Big Block
Looks like some other pro coating company's might have to up their game. I recently used MOHS Evo and does it flash quick it was 81degrees and 50% humidity but it was a great coating overall. This coating looks great and will be interesting to see the durability over time. I love those tight beads. Not much change in SunMatch 4 vs the the 3rd version. I do love my diffuser cap to check a coating. Looking forward to see your long term thoughts and hope others in colder climates like Ohio will do long term reviews Great review as always Mike.
Thanks. You will enjoy mohs. Gyeon did a great job with the evo version.
I tend to be septic from brands with massive claims like scratch resistant, 142 degree angle, stable across whole PH scale I mean c'mon. Hopefully we get more real world review for body36 in the next few months or I'm sticking with mohs Evo in the spring.
My experience exactly. It smears madly & the longer you leave it, the harder it is to get them off. I started with the recommendation of 10-15 minutes but then ended up with just 2-3 minutes as the setup time before starting the wipe off. And not slick after. Does seem like a thick coating. But also on dark paint, it will easily show micro-scratches from towel touches afterward. Still trying to figure out if I like the coating or not.
Body does not need to sit for 10 minutes. That’s body 36. Body is 1-3 minutes.
@@MikeGDetailing Yes, I used DB36.
Awesome application guide and tips. Will definitely help when I do my first coating next month. How is the slickness compared or Mohs Evo once cured ?
Mohs by a long shot. Diamond Body is not slick.
142° water contact angle seems optimistic I think, right?. 110-120° is already huge today!
Couple questions for ya. If you have an existing coating on your car, do you need to polish it completely off before applying a new coating? or, is just claying it good enough? thanks
Bes to polish the old coating and start fresh with this one. Claying is not guaranteed to remove the older coating and you will probably have clay marring. My recommendation would be to polish off the older coating, panel wipe it with the Diamond Body Prep and apply Diamond Body.
Can you apply it after claying? Sure but the possibility of it not lasting that long is there. I would also recommend purchasing their dedicated panel prep.
Are you suggesting that the Body 36 offers higher gloss levels than the Body coating on this car? Looks so good!
I have not used DB36. Diamond Body does look great. You could put different coatings on white and one would not be able to discern a difference between them.
Mike, I have found NSP polishes to be grabby. Any chance that affects the slickness potential of the Diamond coating?
I would think the coating would mask the properties that a primer polish left behind. 🤔
I’m going to try it on another panel but I don’t think that plays a factor. Gyeon Mohs Evo’s slickness was not impacted like that. Everyone has a different description of slickness. Maybe this is what the Swiss consider slick
I’ve been thinking, these non ceramic coatings(diamond pro, some GYEON), is it bad to top or maintain with ceramic products?
It is not bad. Diamond Protech states their is no need for a constant topper. But folks loves touching their paint that I suspect they will be coming out with some sort of product to use as a drying aid.
Mike time to get certified 🎉 remember your kenzo video which one do you like ? Diamond or Igl
That’s a tough one. I’m not certified by either but I had a friend hook me up with Kenzo Graphene which has a very good look to it. At the moment I am enjoying the Diamond line up. Their maintenance line needs to expand and be better.
I reached out to Diamond about getting certified and was told no since I don’t do this detail thing for a living.
@@MikeGDetailing whaaaaa , that’s wild man I’m sorry
@@Ecdetails what can you do? I’m not into multi layer coatings anyway so the pro stuff is nice but not something I must have. I’d prefer one and done. Two layers at most.
If I want a 10 year coating I’ll just buy the Mckee’s Graphene like what I applied to my brothers truck.
@@MikeGDetailing I mean if you can do 2 layers and it cure inbetween I can see that being something most big shops would do. But I really wanna know more about your mckees stuff was it the new one they release and how is it holding up ?
@@Ecdetails yes it was the newest graphene that had the up to 10 year claim. My brothers truck is a his show truck. So it’s doing well after two months. He has not even washed it yet. I need to apply it to another vehicle
Hi Mike how long do you have to wait before applying coating after using the nsp 95 / 45
No wait time and no need for a panel wipe.
Ok thanks for reply.
Great video, I just applied 2 coats of Diamond Body 36 along with Diamond glass yesterday. I can’t seem to find any info but would you know if there is a cure time before it gets wet or you first wash it? Also I’ve been using Chemical guys Mr. Pink shampoo. With my vehicle being coated do I need to avoid certain car washes now and do you have a favorite you might recommend?
It has a 1 hour cure time but give it a week before washing. Any car shampoo that does not contain waxes, ceramic infused or any gloss enhancers. I like CarPro Reset or Feynlab Pure Wash.
Also, do you know the application temperature range? ty
Apply in temperatures between 10-30°C, 50-90°F. Information is on their site as well.

Same process? Just polish ipa wipe and apply coating?
Yes same exact process as any other coating.
Curious how it lasts. The rag company and diamond strictly only recommended using there panel wipe. Said they had bad results when they tried something else. Wonder if its just marketing bs
It has been hit or miss using another panel wipe with the DPT coatings. But I use the Dr. Beasley's Nano Surface Primers which require no panel wipe. No issues so far.
Is this better than gyeon pure
Hard to say. These coatings from Diamond ProTech are new to the market. Only thing I can say is stay tuned for updates.
