Amazing how differently Cerakote handled criticism of their product. I wish their V2 had been part of this test if for no other reason than their professionalism and transparency. I’ve dropped one product in this test from my buying list already!

I’m a big fan of CCI some excellent recognized detailers put it on a test hood and it masked a ton of scratches and oxidation by virtue of the sio2 particles being medical grade and very small so the coating is able to make a finish almost perfectly level on an atomic level so it has incredible gloss and is able to fill some micro marring.

Hell yeah, really looking forward to this one! Just speaking for myself, I’m not particularly interested in chemical torture tests for this lot. I think letting them run through the Louisiana summer will offer a decent opening ceremony for their performance.

Nice! I've been eagerly waiting to see how CCI performs in this recurring format. Other than a few short clips on Tiktok and Insta, it has been hard to find much on it. Looking forward to see how it fares side by side with C6 Hydro Lite. I think you should keep it to real world maintenance without any toppers or "torture" testing. Just do whatever is necessary to keep them clean and performing. If you do decide to take it further, make sure to get the surface back to a neutral state and let it bake in the sun for a couple hours/days to see if any dropback in performance goes away.
@rooboy99Ай бұрын
Agreed, dont need unrealistic torture tests. Real world driving is the only way to test real world performance
@rooboy99Ай бұрын
To me, abillity to get the vehicle out the door sooner, adds value to the product. As long as it also performs similarly to the others. So with hydro lite being able to be released an hour after completion without fear of getting wet, this needs to be taken into consideration for detailers.

Hope you make this a long term test for these three coatings. An update once every 2 to 3 months would be a good way to see how they are performing. I think videos a few weeks after application are not meaningful. Most coatings look great the first few weeks.

Good to know. But I'm sure its just a learning curve. If you're used to DIY Detail coatings for example, then a lot of other brands might be more difficult. Also need to have the right lighting to avoid those issues. Question to Ethos, is it the higher resin activity that may cause streaks and highspots? What are your tips? Thx

I'm looking forward to seeing how this coating stacks up to the competition. The first update showed that the Ethos Max Graphene coating has crazy hydrophobics! Can you disclose what the main ingredients are in this coating? Is the main resin a polysilazane or polysiloxane based resin? Does it contain silcon nitride, silicon dioxide or silicon carbide along side the graphene oxide? Thanks.

For factory gloss black painted wheels, would you recommend a dedicated wheel coating. Its on a RAM limited truck so not crazy sports car heat soaked and dusty wheels. But still, wondering or could maybe get away with using rest of bottle if theres enough left of say one of these

To be honest , when a ceramic coating says it is scratch resistant they lose all credibility in my book. Unless someone is willing to do a scratch test with Ethos that statement is very misleading especially to the average consumer. Take it through the car wash and would love to see how scratch resistant it is.
@ethoscarcareАй бұрын
Nowhere do we say scratch-proof, but the coating certainly adds additional hardness and protection against light marring as mentioned. There is a reason this coating lasted thousands of washes in Dmitry's tests. But don't take our word for it, test it yourself!

@-Joseph5 I agree with you. I think saying scratch-resistant sounds misleading bc it makes it sound like they're talking about a hardness test.
