BMW X5 FULL DETAIL | First Time Applying Hydro Lite by C6 Ceramics

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you Rick, great job

[@RADGarage]

Thanks!

[@hippopotimusstew]

Your videos always give me a special tingle in a silly place. Thanks for that 🙏

[@RADGarage]

I won't tell anyone if you won't.

[@hippopotimusstew]

@@RADGarage I appreciate that. It will be our secret 🤫

[@txdeedee7783]

You too???

[@neilwalker5041]

Rick the BMW looks amazing and he is going to love the self cleaning attributes of this coating. This coating is different than any other coating I have installed as the paint feels butter soft even after a month of driving without a wash. You can drive through a rain storm and the car looks dry and clean after you drive through and only the rear will show any signs of being dirty. As always your production was first class and I will be looking forward to update videos on this car. Thank you for the great video.

[@RADGarage]

Thanks man. I’m hoping I can keep viewers updated as to the performance of this coating.

[@Alexparty2008]

Awesome job ad always. Looks amazing.

[@RADGarage]

Thanks so much. The C6 Hydro Lite lived up to the hype!

[@ronayotte3571]

Awesome work, my friend!

[@RADGarage]

Thanks Ron. I was 100% satisfied with this one and felt very proud to hand the keys to Mark at the end of the project.

[@rg6982]

One of the best SUVs in the market! Absolutely love it and great work as usual 🎉

[@RADGarage]

It really is a flagship vehicle. Like a luxurious yacht.

[@RICARD01]

Thanks, Rick. ALWAYS a pleasure to watch your stuff. Pure magic, brother. 🤙🤙🤙

[@RADGarage]

I appreciate that!

[@ShineYourLightDetailing]

Wow, very nice Rick. Really enjoyed the video, but especially your thoughts of it. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@RADGarage]

Not exactly a critical review, but I just wanted to communicate to viewers what my experience was like and showcase the results I was able to produce.

[@ddautodetailing]

Great job! Looks excellent 👌

[@RADGarage]

Thanks man. I was very happy with how this one came out.

[@derekjarembo9709]

Great work as always my friend! Your effort and hard work are evident.

[@RADGarage]

Thanks man. I do my best.

[@Riverguide33]

Artwork, Rick. Thanks. 👍

[@RADGarage]

I’m obsessed with showcasing the beauty of the process. Otherwise, it’s just work.

[@gcrockford8191]

Amazing job!!!!

[@RADGarage]

Thanks buddy.

[@just.florent]

Bonjour Rick encore un super travail sur ce magnifique bmw👍👍👌

[@RADGarage]

Je suis heureux de vous entendre penser que les résultats ont été magnifiques.

[@ericwright1075]

Rick, another winner of a video. 🇨🇦👍👍

[@RADGarage]

I appreciate that, Eric. Thanks.

[@henriquepinto9652]

Hi Rick, as always I look forward to your videos, my friend, it's always a pleasure to see your projects, quality work, video, music always 110% 🇵🇹👏👏👏👍

[@RADGarage]

Thanks for tuning in to this project, Henrique. It was a lot of work but I am glad to share what I do in my garage with people who care.

[@clintrockabar8100]

Thanks for sharing, Rick, much appreciated. I've a soft spot for X5's, one of my favorite SUV's, and the final results on this one look spectacular! Great work, both in front of and behind the camera, appreciate all the time and effort that goes into producing your videos! I was in your fair city last week, and heard about the water main break; hope the restrictions don't last too long, and hope they don't affect your detailing schedule, I wouldn't want any Rad Garage videos delayed as a result! Hope the C6 products perform well, if you are able to provide a long-term update or two, I for one would greatly appreciate any information you are able to provide. Thanks again for sharing, and have a great day!

[@RADGarage]

I am going to follow up in a few months to see how it is holding up. Thanks for the kind words and support!

[@buvik100]

Enjoying your videos as allways! Good inspiration before this summers projects. CSL + Exov5 on a Volvo V90 T8 2019 and Porsche Cayenne 2022. I could feel what you felt Rick, detailing is special, and your videos, yeah... Thank you🙏🤜

[@RADGarage]

@@buvik100 Those sound like fun and satisfying projects. Have fun with them and enjoy the process!

[@craigcebryk7855]

Awesome video, thanks for posting. I think I spotted a minty popo or two. 👍

[@RADGarage]

I have a such soft spot for fluffy minty’s!

[@Sallyy6h6yyy]

Great job Rick this is a baetiful shocase of the car just like the amazing shocase of words worth knowing in your classroom the word wither will come out to perfect is what I think

[@RADGarage]

*beautiful *showcase 🤦‍♂️

[@andrewbarrett9277]

Great video with the bmw x5 Rick it looks amazing great work can’t wait to see more projects 👍👍

[@RADGarage]

More to come!

[@esadetails]

It's always a pleasure watching your videos. That BMer was glistening.

[@RADGarage]

It certainly was glistening. Getting white to "pop" on camera can be challenging, but I think I pulled it off.

[@ericstehle753]

Another amazing video, Rick! It's fun watching you use different products in each video. This helps me when choosing new products to try myself for my ride. Enjoy your summer holiday!

[@RADGarage]

I leave the critical reviews up to others since trying products is what motivates me. I rarely encounter products that fail to satisfy, and showing them in cinematic action is my primary goal.

[@chrissemsch8781]

Looking good Rick. Well done video(like always). Thanks for your hard work in producing it.

[@RADGarage]

It was a fun project. I hope people enjoy the video and results.

[@kennovakowski1246]

Another awesome job Rick 5 stars results. Sorry to hear about the water issues you are having people forget how important water really is until it’s gone. Thanks for the great video👍🏻

[@RADGarage]

Yeah, these water issues are starting to make me nervous. Hard to argue against the vital importance of H2O.

[@josephvecchio8528]

its cool how the center caps on the wheels spin like u see on the rims on some cars

[@RADGarage]

BMW wizardry.

[@DonDomel]

awesome relaxing video ! greetings from Poland ! :)

[@RADGarage]

Thank you very much!

[@davestewart9146]

Having coffee and enjoying your video this morning, fantastic job Rick, thanks my friend 👍😁

[@RADGarage]

Enjoy!

[@DetailEnthusiast007]

Great video, thanks!

[@RADGarage]

Glad you liked it!

[@Sheldon_Classen]

Fantastic work those hydrophobics are wild💯👊🏼

[@RADGarage]

Thanks. I want to be there the first time Mark gives it a wash.

[@walid2951]

Amazing job and result wooooooooooooow 👌👌😎

[@RADGarage]

I am quite pleased with the results.

[@MikeGDetailing]

Great video. APP and Hydro Lite work very well together are very user friendly.

[@RADGarage]

Any fool could do it!

[@ScrappersDetailing]

Awesome job Rick! Looked phenomenal! So much gloss. I would love to feel the slickness on that paint!

[@RADGarage]

There was zero resistance whatsoever when I wiped a towel across the paint. Incredible.

[@ScrappersDetailing]

@@RADGarage Sounds awesome! Will have to attempt to use it at some point. Ease of use looks so nice. I actually put Gyeon MOHS on my current daily driver about a year ago, so will probably try this after that wears out.

[@kmarty009]

Great video, Rick!

[@RADGarage]

Thanks for tuning in.

[@scootytamra]

Wow! She came out awesome! She sparkles! NICE NICE NICE!!!!

[@RADGarage]

White is a challenge from a video standpoint. It’s hard to capture the true gloss but I think I came pretty close.

[@keithfirebird7618]

Good job 👍😎

[@RADGarage]

Thanks Keith.

[@MichaelWarbux]

Was looking forward to this video and it didn't disappoint! The palm sander is such a great idea. You convinced me to get one just for the waxing process. Save my arm lol. Great video!

[@RADGarage]

If all you are looking to do is spread product quickly and easily, I guess a little palm sander is the right tool for the job!

[@SPECIAL_detailing]

The master at it again! Great video as always

[@RADGarage]

I'm hardly a master my friend. Just a guy that likes what he does and approaches the process with patience. But, thanks!

Hi Rick, congratulations for the video, is this Ceramico new? I really like the mirror effect and that it lasts over time, tomorrow will be my birthday and this weekend there are big parties. Hi Rick, take care....👍✌🍁😉

Happy Birthday my Italian friend!

[@RADGarage]

Yes, C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite is a new coating.

[@AlexSandro-wt1xm]

[@danielfletcher1384]

Another great video by Rad Garage! Fantastic results!

[@RADGarage]

Thank you Daniel. I am very satisfied with how this coating worked out on this amazing BMW suv.

[@ratton5028]

Hi Rick🖐 Great start to a summer full of more Rad videos. With school out more time for you to create very interesting content. I have a question, how do you know when polishing that you have removed all of the old ceramic coating? I haven’t had to do that yet to one of my vehicles and I am curious to find out what you see or feel when you have first reached the original paint. How important is it to make sure all of the old stuff is removed so that the new ceramic coating will bond properly? Cheers!!.. 😎

[@RADGarage]

That is the million dollar question my friend. Because the paint on this X5 had some very minor swirls to correct, I just assumed that by eliminating the swirls in the paint, I MUST have penetrated the layer of residual coating. So, I just ensured I had fully corrected every square inch of the exterior and went off the theory that the coating must have been removed for me to make my way to the clear coat. I hope that makes sense. If there were no swirls to correct, I think I would just go at it and trust my gut that I had removed the coating. If you don't get that micro layer of coating off, I think it would impede the new coating's ability to bond with the paint so it is an important question.

[@marteaubu]

nice thanks for the video !

[@RADGarage]

Always my pleasure.

[@BreezeMW]

Hey Rick fantastic video! Any C6 application video has been an instant watch for me recently. Such cool stuff Yvan has been bringing to the market. I have the Hydro Lite & APP as well but I am still in the market for a palm sander. I am also in Canada and have been looking at the Black & Decker as an option. How did you like it?

[@diydetailofficial]

Don’t overthink the sander, they all work.

[@RADGarage]

The B&D got the job done and it was heavily discounted so win-win!

[@EricStehle]

Nice video, Rick...thank you!

[@RADGarage]

Always my pleasure.

[@MikesAutoDetailing]

Now that was RAD, would have been better with reverse foam …. Great job on the video great work …. Let’s get the band back together and do some livestreams!!

[@RADGarage]

Believe me Mike, I was missing the reverse foam as well. Let's definitely get some Livestreams going this summer. Who should we invite?

[@stevewood5255]

Looks great

[@RADGarage]

I have to agree with you. It looked so much better than it when it arrived. I just wish the before/after was more dramatic on camera. White is a tricky colour to catch on camera.

[@scootytamra]

Cool i have that same sander by Black and Decker, i think i will try my hand at polishing my car with Stjarnagloss Skara and The Rag company said to use a Lake country orange pad, so i will give it a go! Beautiful car, Rick!

[@RADGarage]

I’m curious how that goes for you. This is not a tool I would strongly recommend for serious polishing. It was more of a way to quickly and properly apply the APP.

[@scootytamra]

@@RADGarage I know, i've never machine polished my car before, and it is the only thing i own that comes close to a polisher, i'm doing it to spiff up some scratches, my car is 15 like i said, i know she will never be perfect and that is fine.I'll let you know how i do. ha ha

[@RADGarage]

I don't think you can go wrong.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Finally back this weekend Rick!

[@RADGarage]

I'm still kicking!

[@in4chandru]

Right on time for the water restriction in Calgary 😂

[@RADGarage]

No washes this weekend, that’s for sure. Might have to try a rinseless. I can’t see that making for a very satisfying video but maybe I’ll challenge myself.

[@аппрвпаре]

Спасибо, удачи, жду новые видео!!! 👏👍✌️😄

[@RADGarage]

Спасибо за настройку!

[@clintonhewitt3454]

👍👍😊

[@RADGarage]

Thanks brother.

[@patrickvennard838]

Great video! Is it easier to apply than Gyeon Mohs? I am not sure C6 has hit the UK yet, but I need to re-coat my daily this summer, so I might give it a go.

[@RADGarage]

Yes, it is easier to apply than MOHS. Not that MOHS is at all tricky, but the Hydro Lite goes on like an absolute dream. If you check my Linktree link, I have a link to DIY Detailing and they ship to the UK, IIRC. tr.ee/BO4XoHObIS

[@serdarergul6099]

👍🔥💯

[@RADGarage]

Thanks!

[@en1254]

Great Job!!...I am curious as to why you used that random orbital sander instead of one of your random orbital polishers?

[@RADGarage]

It’s about the application of the Adhesion Polish promoter. It is supposed to be machine-applied but by a short throw. I think Yvan has a video explaining it somewhere. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX20q4OqoJhmgrcsi=VHGyhmbdgDB4hvAo

[@en1254]

Ok...that makes sense...thank you

[@davidtn227]

Nice video but the price tag on that ceramic coating is quite pricey for me (teacher). I wish I had a friend like Yvan. Did you like the Gyeon Mohs?

[@RADGarage]

I have always enjoyed MOHS. The C6 stuff is definitely on the pricey side. I am happy to apply it on a car, but I don't think I would be happy to fork out the beans for it.

[@davidtn227]

@@RADGarage is that the coating you would recommend? I know they do the two step one with mohs and skin. Have you ever tried that?

[@RADGarage]

@@davidtn227 Many times. It’s one of my go-to’s.

[@DonDomel]

8:17 could tell me more or direct to some of your video - why this random orbitar sander? is it safe? Yesterday I was aplying 3D Poxy with 21" i think this kinda a small DA would be perfect for me as your next time :D

[@diydetailofficial]

Why we use the short throw machine to apply the APP ''Adhesion Promoter Polish’’ C6 Ceramics ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX20q4OqoJhmgrc

[@RADGarage]

The C6 APP is best spread using a very low throw DA such as a palm sander. I’m not sure what the scientific reasoning is, but as a teacher, I tend to follow all rules! I think it worked out well and I’m glad I was able to find such a sander at a really good price. I think I paid $45.

[@DonDomel]

@@RADGarage thx mate !

Thumbs up first, then watch 😂😂

[@RADGarage]

The products are what make it all so interesting for me.

[@macallanvintage]

The previously applied GYEON coating was already dead 1yr after it was applied.

[@RADGarage]

Two years. I could have worked at restoring/unclogging it but in my experience, there are places where the return of hydrophobic properties just won’t return. This city is brutal 8-9 months a year. It’ll be interesting to see how C6 stacks up.

[@paulclaeys7631]

Still, as we speak, not available in the EU...

Rick your the only person in the world who could have a rack with $2500 dollars of polishers and use that garbage... Ivan really got to you bud. 😅

Unfortunately the C6 Ceramics Adhesion Promoter Polish (APP) requires a short stroke (3-9mm)

You can use a Flex forced rotation machine if that makes you feel better.
