    Watching this process, makes a newbie like me, feel like this isn’t that hard.
    Thanks for doing this complete process.
    Next spring is polish and coat!

    The W-Body will always have a special place in my heart. The 3800 NA and Supercharged is such a great engine. With that said one the results look great.

    It’s wild how you can actually see the gloss boost as you work around the car just a few minutes after leveling. Haven’t used your coating just yet but the other products (iron remover and all clean) have been terrific.

    The circular application of the coating is an invaluable technique, just like applying wax.

    Hi! I love all of your videos which have allowed me to ceramic coat many cars at 16 years old with all my learning through videos. The only problem I’m currently having is I don’t know how to put the right amount of ceramic coating on as I’m either putting on way to much or I feel like I’m not even putting anything on. Also how do I know when to apply more to the applicator? Thanks!

      As long as you’re depositing coating on the surface, it’s enough.

    Throwing the applicators and towels in the wash bucket when you’re done with the coating is a great tip 👍 That never occurred to me haha

    @diydetailofficial If you do not remove the water spot minerals, what do you mean by 'drive them deeper into the paint'? I could imagine them getting picked up by the pad and compound then dragged around causing microscratches, but why would they stay in the same place and just go deeper?

    • @diydetailofficial
      @diydetailofficial  Рік тому +1

      Because of the heat caused by polishing, they sink into the paint

    I just bought your 3 year coating. Panel prep package. The directions on bottle states to spray directly on the surface. Two of your videos say spray on towel. I was disappointed not to receive the red application pad for coating. The box style pad absorbed. I will comment often on the Cherokees coating over time. Thanks for great vids

    Great video as always, really instructive! Would just one leveling towel and one buffing towel be enough for an entire car? Cause when I applied my first coating (the 3 years, amazing) I've changed leveling and buffing towel practically for each panel, but I guess I was over cautious 😅

    Question for you two…. I finally came across a vehicle where the carpet will need a good scrub and extraction, and the customer will be paying for the service to be done…
    I have my Bissell Little Green Pro shampooer, but I do not know what to use for the shampoo portion…. Should I just use hot water, or mix in like maybe rinseless wash diluted 256:1, or maybe mix in some All Clean diluted 15:1???
    What would you two recommend?
    P.S. - I’ll be using Rinseless Wash diluted 256:1 foamed onto the carpet, then agitated with a drill & drill brush *before* extraction.

    Hey guys. I do know that your coatings are ok to get wet after 1 hour of application. My concern though are:
    1. after making the 1 hour mark then it starts raining heavy for lets say the next 4 to 5 days, is the coating still ok despite the heavy downpour?
    2. Also, what if for the days after the 1 hour curing it gets crazy rainy and sunny which may cause heavy dust accumulation? Is it ok not to wash it still?
    I got your 5 yr coating and a bit hesitant because these two scenarios might happen in the next few days or weeks in our place.

    • @diydetailofficial
      @diydetailofficial  11 місяців тому

      After that 1 hour you can park in a monsoon for a week, you will be fine. Resist the temptation to wash for a week, dirt on the surface will not affect the coating.

    one question i just bought every thing except the towels because there not availeble on the netherlands rigjt now, but do you need to throw away the towels when finished? or are they reusable. A lot of other coating you need to dispose or is there a trick as weekend worriar it will be quite expensive
