    I just installed the C6 on a couple of vehicles and your description is spot on. That stuff stays there forever and wipes easily. As Yvan says, less is more. Go light when putting this on. Hydrophobic are really good and it is glossy! Winter is coming so it’ll be good to see how it stands up to snow and chemicals. Great video as always Josh!

    Great video. I've had Cerakote's V1 on my truck for about 9 months (unlike some, I got a good cure with V1) It is very slick and looks as good as the day I applied it. Can't beat it for $30 a bottle IMO.

    • @imjoshv

      I had good results with v1 as well but my conditions were great. It’s nice they came out with a v2 that’s works for all climates. Great to hear you had good results with it though and it’s looking good coming up on a year

  • @andrewgavi

    Professional detailer here. 2-3 coatings a week- Cerakote has been unreal for me. Used to use Gtech lite and Mohs. Now, only Cerakote. A monthly application of Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Paint Sealant and you are good to go!

    • @chrisdenman1985
      @chrisdenman1985 2 місяці тому

      So I put Cerakote V2 on my vehicle in June. Really like it's performance. I was debating about putting on the Cerakote spray ceramic sealant because it would mask the coating performance. Does it perform as good as the coating? I live in western NC so I thought an extra layer of protection would be good for the winter because they use salt on the roads. Also why put on the spray sealant every month instead of 3-6 months? Thanks for any input you can offer. I haven't seen too many people supporting this product.

    • @andrewgavi
      @andrewgavi 2 місяці тому +2

      Hey Chris! So, it isn’t necessary to apply once a month, but per Cerakote’s own literature, their spray sealant can be layered and only add’s additional gloss and shine.
      What it does is place a sacrificial layer on top of the Coating. It is over kill, but it can only be a good thing, coating lasts perpetually and the car always looks wet and dripping in gloss.

    • @andrewgavi
      @andrewgavi 2 місяці тому +2

      One more thing- it doesn’t have to be a heavy layer, use the Rapid Ceramic like a quick detailer, a mist per panel and you are good!

    I guess the chemist for all these people are keeping pretty busy. Seems like a lot of people go to the universities that have a lot of talent and just reverse engineer these products and tweak them a little bit. You find that to be true. Do you find that true? Still takes a lot of time and effort and money to create these products very much appreciate your time and effort, sharing this with us I like the how many washes that handles instead of saying it’s a one year two year or three year coding my experience with ceramic coatings in 40 years of polishing and detailing using codings. It really really is how people are washing their cars and all kinds of things I’ve seen ceramic coatings. I’ve done for myself within six months. You know this I can see, scratches or washing scratches already with even the best of ceramic coatings like gyon mons
    People buy a lot of stuff so it seems like it’s a very profitable business of creating products with all the compulsive buyers out there

    I feel like it's a mistake to use the door as a test area. No matter how you divide the door, the section closes to the front wheel is going to suffer a lot more than the sections farther away. The hood test is better, maybe a roof test would have been possible here instead of the door test.

    Gday Josh, thx for the great video. Ive got a question for you. I picked up a cheap Karcher K5 compact last week. I also ordered a 1/4" uberflex hose and mtm short gun which came with 030 tips. I did a waterflow test into a sealed bucket. The specs say min flow 7.5 litres per min max 8.3. I got 6.4Litres using the supplied karcher hose and gun/wand. I then swapped to better hose and gun but got the same result. I posted on a FB group and someone said i should try 035 or 040 tips. As i cant test psi, which is supposed to be 2300psi which i highly doubt, i noticed the supplied hose states max 2300psi, so therefore i assume it wont be anywhere near that. How much flow increase should i get in theory using a 35 or 40 tip? Sorry for long spiel. Cheers mate. Also, whats the min waterflow that we should use for an effective pressure washer?
