    I'm impressed with the levels of gloss, beading and sheeting from the 'stack'. This looks amazing and I'm impressed from the screen I'm watching it on.

    The stack is an awesome coating and I cannot believe how clean the Spark was before you washed it. Normally the Spark would have looked grey and dull. Ceramic gloss does smell amazing! Thank you for the video.

    I will personally vouch for "the stack". Takes the already impressive characteristics of 8-year coating to a higher level... Best of all coatings I've ever installed (dozens). Makes me wish I still had my detailing business going so I could try out the new C6 coatings though 😂

    This is exactly how I've been washing my cars with all this rain. People think just cuz it says "rinseless" you don't rinse but if it's dirty, rinse then proceed as normal.

    I did the stack on a black car. I did the 8 year coating, went to lunch and a few hours later i started to apply the 3year coating. On the hood there was a section where at the moment I touched the car with the 3 year coating it went hard and smeared. It was crazy didn’t had any more of these sections where it went that way. I polished the section to get rid of the scratches and tried again with the 3 year coating. Didn’t work and started to get hard and scratches again. Polished again and put the 8year coating on the section without any issues further. Don’t know what went wrong

    Is there a way to tell if a car has a ceramic coat or not? I just bought a red 2019 Silverado and its really glossy but has swirl marks. I want to polish them away but worried I'm going to take away the ceramic coating if any. Not sure if it just comes that shiney or not

    It's not weather though. It's the ice melts, brines, and like on our county fly ash which turns into a cement like layer.

      Does Nebraska seriously spread fly ash as an ice melt on the road? I'm very interested in that. Here in PA , Cambria county is the only county around that does this. Other counties do not because it is a carcinogen and filthy. Several states around PA, use Cambria county roads to dispose of their fly ash \ coal burning waste product.

      @diydetailofficial I used an APC as a foam pre soak and rinsed thoroughly after dwelling for one minute. I then pre sprayed DIY Detail Rinseless Wash over the car before grabbing the sponge. I didn't use any pressure. I switched sides of the sponge between panels before dunking back in the bucket. I made sure the sponge wasn't overloaded/sopping wet with rinseless. Once contact wash was complete, I used a ceramic detail spray to dry/protect.
