There's something pretty cool about doing detail and maintenance to a compact vehicle, can keep it clean easier with quicker washing and keep it protected easier with less product needed to go over the whole vehicle. Not to mention is leaves you more space to work around it in the garage haha. Great Kronos video, the Clubman is looking great.
I have a bottle of Kronos sitting on the shelf that I’m waiting for a personal vehicle to need as I only reach for coatings with a 1-2 hour cure time on customer vehicles nowadays for reasons that aren’t hard to guess. Looking forward to the follow ups on it
@ all DIY Detail/C6 Ceramics coatings can be released within 1 hour of application. Pan The Organizers coatings can be released within 1 hour and you can actually wash the car with a PH neutral soap after only 12 hours of application. P&S' new "Stout" coating can be released after 2 hours and fully cures after only 2 days meaning your customer can wash the car after 2 days instead of a week (although if it were my car I would still wait 7 days lol)
@@BreezeMW did pan actually announce this? That you could wash the car after just one hour? Lol. I feel like that is such an Odd benefit to try and mention. Why would anyone want to to wash a freshly coated vehicle that’s is already perfectly clean? lol
There is a really good video series that esoteric detail has produced with regards to coating application. Highly recommend it for you. Btw. You really wouldn’t be able to see any high spots until the coating has cured
I’m pretty proficient in coatings at this point. A high spot can typically be seen after the coating has flashed in the right lights, it’s then a matter of whether it can be removed or not, and that has to do with whether it’s fully cured. Many coatings can be reactivated within the first hour or so with another pass of the applicator and the high spot can be removed. What I was trying to express in the video was that the Phoenix coating was easy to buff off and not leave any excess behind, reducing the risk of a high spot for a novice as applying the products.
@ interesting. I’m curious to know the source and where you learned your method of applying coatings. Would love to gain insight and understand the reasoning behind the actions involved.
I’m really trying not to argue but you’re acting like applying coatings is difficult when it’s literally the easiest part of the process. I like most people watched hours of videos and then did cars until I stopped screwing up. Using a crosshatch pattern to insure thorough coverage and then waiting for a flash before buffing off isn’t exactly rocket science. If you spend enough time polishing off high spots you eventually change your focus to making sure you don’t cause them in the first place… if there is some method that you think I’m missing maybe you should do a video to teach others?
@@improvedgarage nobody was trying to create an argument. I just wanted to know the source of this coating application method that you are proficient in. As with just about everything else in life in that there are levels to this. There is a difference between knowing what to do vs knowing how to do it. There are a number of things to point out with your process here that could be improved upon which is why I shared that info with you so that you could improve. Please don’t view it as a negative. If there are ways I could improve something I would welcome knowledge being shared with me.
@@G.Dean100Look, I’m not sure what you expect to have happen when you go to comment on someone’s video from behind a keyboard from a channel with zero videos implying that I’m doing something wrong without any details of what it is that you think I’m doing wrong. If you want to post a helpful comment like “hey I think you’re not letting immortal rest long enough before wipe off” or “try less or more product” or “try this different application method” that’s actually helpful and can lead to an intelligent conversation. Posting a suggestion to watch someone else’s video with zero context what to actually look for is not. Either you’re genuine and you actually want to be helpful and I need more context and I’m sorry for being defensive, or you’re not and my channel isn’t for you and I would like you to move on.
Good video on applying Kronos. Looks like a solid coating.
Great video Jeff. I have FAB Polish and Peleus and both are a favorite of mine.

Which coatings have a cure time of only 1-2hours? Were you referring to spray products? Most traditional coatings are 12-24hr aren’t they?

@@G.Dean100DIY Detail/C6 Ceramic s, Clean by Pan, and Detail Co all have 1 hour cure to be rain/weather safe. Mckees graphene is 6 hours.
I agree 1 hour is game changing. Makes me not want to use anything else as well.

From my understanding, grabby = hard/lots of solids content. I’m not entirely sure but I’ve definitely heard that in the past

Great video! Kronos looks good! 👍
