One of my favorite things about DIY Details videos is the music selection. Especially like rhe 1st track. Makes the viewing experience that much more pleasant.
I'm glad I watched this video I used hydro. Lite on my car, this Memorial Day weekend here in the states. And I'm so happy with the performance. I've been watching your videos and PAN. The organizer videos. And I learned exactly how to coat a car and wash it properly. Thank you for all you guys do. And i'm glad I caught the fact that you can use panel prep on your rims.That's the one thing I didn't do
@@diydetailofficial not much help… Sharing here for visibility. Maybe you need to avoid this product completely since it can’t work with a standard panel prep… Here was my email to them….

@@diydetailofficial also note… the app was applied after the panel prep so it should have worked regardless. Don’t like a company that can’t own up to their own mistakes
Can we get a diy detail razer and shaving cream? Lol. Every diy product works extremely well I couldn't imagine how awesome life would be with a diy product for everything!
Hey DIY team, thats a funny little polisher, 3mm you say? Never seen one of those, I've got a 9mm one, the App is here in Poland, waiting for the C6 Hydro Lite, if it's affordable I will try it out. Great job team Ivan and Sylvie, the paint really pops!
Yea with this product if you over work the ingredients it breaks down the protection built in and hardens so it’s tuff to get off. 3 MM sanders or a 8-9 mm DA will work but don’t buff with it. Just use it to apply it. That’s how I understand the tiny sander machine analogy. Also what is affordable to you? It’s $300 here, and I find that affordable
@@Greg_P611 hmm for me it's kinda steep but if it offers realy good durable protection (i realy mean ,,realy" :) then it's value its for me instantly higher as a coating, many factors come into a good coating but im hearing great things so far :) We just have a shipment of DIY coatings 3,5,8 yr ones so im thinking ill try the 3 or 5 yr on my daily, but no C6 yet. Thank you for your anwser, ill try this with my APP, wonder if it can be used before applying the standard line of DIY coatings and if it adds into the durability of them.
I hate to do this but when you did the windsheild there was a spot on the driverside wiper on the passenger side that is a VERY common spot to miss.....no complaints as I have learned A TONNE from you just something i noticed I have done before 😉
Have you guys done a video where you use every DIY product to detail a vehicle? Would be a great video to see! Hardly see any content like that from brands with expanded product lines.
I’d like to see C6 sell all the DIY chemicals in concentration focused for businesses in the c6 line. Rebranding the chemicals to c6 just as the concentrated versions. Some businesses may not want to buy it if it says DIY on it
Very informative video on how to apply the app. Paint looks great! Ready to order with the red pad. Is it possible that the cerakote coating can be applied over the app? I still have a few bottles here.
Coating my wheels this weekend with Hydro Lite. Will it be ok to use on calipers or should I look at high heat resistant coatings instead for the calipers
❤Grate job love my fave couler on a car oh but Propheser Davoro takes on board all ideas as your always lerning no mater how good you think yo u are you have to stay being a amazing sprung Love it❤
I have a question, say I missed a spot on the hood when polishing. It’s a scratched up water deposit. The deposit was removed in prep with the diy waterspot remover but I used some pressure to get it off and i put some light scratches in the clear coat. I needed to 5,5,5 it but I missed it, batteries died in my inspection light, and coated over it with the hydro lite. Silver dollar size area on hood. Can it be polished and re coated in that spot or does the whole hood need to be polished and re coated? I have more than half a bottle leftover, on the cx5 small suv. Thanks.
One more question, after a proper install of c6 hydro lite, after the first hour, does it help to bake it in the sun, or should than be avoided, or makes no difference? Some coatings require uv and or heat to cure. Thanks.
Is it possible to show a table with the different temperatures and humidity and the different time to wait for the wipe off for the C6 light and pro coatings?
Any plan on launching a Hydro lite kit? (with smaller size APP, gold standard, panel prep, red pad and applicator) Really wanna put hydro lite on my car, but as a weekend warrior, I don’t need to use APP and gold standard very often. 🙏🏻
I paint corrected a 2009 Dodge Challenger RT after removing the hood stripes and dual side stripes. Owner installing new matte black vinyl stripes, then coming back for 5/3 stack. Do I ceramic coat over the matte vinyl and wipe off right away like you did on the matte vehicle video or ? Thank you DIY Rocks!
In the past you have discussed the importance of choosing a polish without hydrocarbon solvents because they swell the paint. How is that different than APP which too swells the paint? Might have something in my understanding wrong but always wanting to learn!
Hey Yvan. For ultimate protection, would you ceramic coat a car and then add PPF after? Or would it not make sense to do a ceramic coat if you're going to do PPF anyway?
Is there a problem in using the same towels to level the window ceramic and the C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite? Or should a new set of towels be used for these? Also, can the applicator sponge be left in Rincless Wash for a few hours, then dried, and then re-used a few weeks (or more) later for another coating job?
@@diydetailofficialI only have the HLR15 / HLR75 and the inbrid nano long neck. Can you suggest a cheap polisher for the UK that I can purchase for this application as it looks like I’ll need to pick up another polisher for this.
I have ordered a 5mm stroke random orbital sander very similar to the one you use on this video. Is there a specific speed setting that is best to use for the APP application?
I believe and recently used speed 3 on the sander. You need to remove the brake off the sander for better results. Just remove the backing plate and pull off the black rubber o-ring/gasket. That way it spins nicer.
Hello and greetings from germany! Today i ordered the 5 Y coating from the Shop in netherlands. I want to apply it on my own car. I don't have a garage so the car is 24/7 outside. By no washing for minimum seven days what's the best to remove possible bird-bombs?
I have the Bauer 5in random orbital sander, it says it has a 3/32" orbit which works it to 2.4mm. Is that too little to work with the App? Would I need to work out longer or do anything different?
I have a RUPES Mille gear driven polisher with 5mm orbit. The RPM ranges from 265-535 which translates to an OPM of 3710-7490. What is the ideal OPM for a 5mm machine when applying APP?

OK, So this GLASS COATING Is ($130.00 For An Ounce), #1). How many Windows will this Coat, on Average? #2). Is this stuff any Better than the Other Expensive Product's Out there.

Impressive compounds and coatings! And I heard a rumor you're working on a wax..?
Correct
Is it possible to show a table with the different temperatures and humidity and the different time to wait for the wipe off for the C6 light and pro coatings?
It would be too varied, how much is on the applicator is also a factor. This is something you need to develop an eye and feel for.

Polishing
I had SPTA LD 601. DA 8mm. RPM 2500 to 5000. What speed should I use to apply APP?
Lowest
How do you get rid of the high spots?
Hand polish with a MF towel
In the past you have discussed the importance of choosing a polish without hydrocarbon solvents because they swell the paint. How is that different than APP which too swells the paint? Might have something in my understanding wrong but always wanting to learn!
C6 Ceramics Adhesion Promoter Polish (APP) swells the paint without filling the pores of the paint like solvents.
@@diydetailofficial thank you!
Does app go bad???
Do you guys plan to come with a 4oz bottle???
No, it will last a long time
Do you have too dispose of the towels after using the product. Thanks
No, dunk them in your wash bucket for 15mins, and launder as normal
Does APP works with a polisher like saker with a 9mm throw and whats the speed i should use?
Yes, low speed
@@diydetailofficial how many opm?

Is there a time frame on the app? Can i polish or use app and then coat next morn? Or do i have a window like the stack
Up to 48 hours

Same towels are fine.

I have ordered a 5mm stroke random orbital sander very similar to the one you use on this video.
Is there a specific speed setting that is best to use for the APP application?
Do you guys have a rough estimate on a day/week for the restock of your drying blanket?
Late this week, or early next week
Why not use a rotary polisher on low speed to apply the APP?
