Can I apply a ceramic coating on Glass, Plastics, Wheels, and Headlights?

Can I apply a ceramic coating on glass, plastics, wheels, and headlights? Ceramic coatings are transparent, semi-permanent forms of protection that create a durable shield of protection on top of the surfaces you apply them to. In this video, you’ll find out which surfaces you can apply ceramic coatings to!
Ceramic coatings protect against the elements, UV rays, acid rain, industrial fallout, bird droppings, tree sap, increase the gloss and slickness of your paintwork and make cleaning your vehicle super easy as dirt sticks a lot less to the surface. In this video, you will see all the exterior surfaces on which we can apply ceramic coatings.

Most quality ceramic coatings are multi-year protectants that often contain silicon dioxide as the main ingredient, also known as silica (SiO2). A good quality ceramic coating, like the AvalonKing Armor Shield IX used in this test, will have a high concentration of the purest SiO2, 84% in this case, some of the highest concentration found in consumer grade ceramic coatings. Not only is is super easy to apply to your car, but the level of protection it gives is simply amazing. If well maintained, this should last for years to protect your vehicle.

Based on your recommendation on another video, I'm applying 2 coats of CQuartz uk 3.0, topping it with 1 coat of CQuartz SIC on my car's paint, rims, and vinyl decal. Would you recommend doing the same to the glass, plastic and lights or are you only recommending the armor shield for that type of application. Thanks for an informative channel.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You could do that on paint, or 2 layers of Cquartz, and 1 top coat of Gliss 2.0 (easier to apply and remove compared to SiC). Those are paint coatings. Not meant for glass or plastics. For plastics, CarPro has DLUX and for glass CarPro has FlyBy Forte. Welcome to my channel.

Pan: Would you please make a Pro/Con video discussing a spray coating (such as turtle wax graphene), a true ceramic coating (Avalon King) and a graphene Coating (Adams Graphene Ceramic Coating)? Last year I was very happy with the results from Turtle Wax’s hybrid ceramic solutions, but as a dedicated enthusiast I’m always looking to improve my skills and try to new products. For some reason though, I am not confident about stepping up to a true ceramic or graphene coating.

I have been acumulating products for doing my prep work like Iron remover, Clay bar, Isotope alcohol, I am waithing to purchase a DA polisher to do the work and also nicer weather to apply to the whole car I did apply it to my headlighs after polishing the slight yellowing that I had performed every 6 months. It seems to have a longer lasting result, hopefully because of UV protection. I also have a question to see if it is safe to apply to camera lens (backup and parking) I think it would keep the lens clearer because of hydrophobic properties.

Yes, with this coating, you need 48 hours with no exposure to rain or water. That is crucial. Most ceramic coatings require at least 24 hours of curing without being exposed to any water or rain.

I have always put Aquapel on my windshield so far (every 6 months), does this will be better in time??? (I already purchase my Avalon King, but waiting for the snow to melt before trying it 😁)

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Aquapel is a very good glass sealant. Coatings or sealants specifically formulated for glass tend to do better than paint coatings. The AvalonKing has that versatility of being able to be applied on pretty much all the exterior surfaces, but a dedicated glass coating will perform better on glass.

Question on ceramic for the windscreen. From the video the beading makes it look like it would be much more difficult to see through when driving. With it uncoated you can at least see through the water. Has anyone used it on their screen and what do people think?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

People use glass coatings all the time. It actually increases visibility in inclement weather as water flies off, you barely need to use your wipers. Many companies have glass specific coatings like the one I tested here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnnNqZSIr52cn6M My vehicles always have a windshield coating.

I know this is off topic but how can I bring my black trim back to black? It's is turning white not from wax. I don't know if wolfgang uber is causing it. Thanks.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You have to first determine if it’s dirty or if it’s fading and oxidizing due to age. If it’s oxidation, you need to restore it. See my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGfFaX97jNyemZI

[@mikesloper7112]

Hi Pan, thank you for returning to AK, the grey matter hadnt registered (probably brain in neutral when you mentioned it) it was so versatile, fortunately I have had one or two deliveries now from AK :-) & my own car is next on the stand for some major TLC. Paint, Glass, Plastics Wheels & exhaust tips, I may need another delivery when shes finished.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Enjoy! :)

[@craigwesson1788]

always good videos ! I apply ceramic coatings on my wood projects, particularly my epoxy stuff. gives good protection.

[@barryinny]

what product are you using?

[@craigwesson1788]

@@barryinny Barry i got it off Amazon. Its called Black Diamond Ceramic coating comes with 2 X 30 ml bottles and an applicator. Only downside is applicator is only good one use, so think about finding more of them which i havn't done yet. lol

[@2lmkerns]

The plastic on my car looks uneven even after I washed it. Will the ceramic coat fix that, or should I apply a plastic restoring product first?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If it looks faded or oxidized, chalky white and blotchy, a trim restorer is needed. Something like CeraKote or Solution Finish or Cera Trim.

[@theamazinggoldfish8713]

I like the product already just looking at the box emblem....it looks like an Decepticon emblem LoL 😆.

Pan, another great video! Glad I purchased 2 kits Vs 1 using you promo code. Still waiting for the weather elements here in San Antonio, Texas to stabilize before starting application. In addition will do a full decontamination as it hasn’t been done in !8 months. Still waiting on a few products to arrive. Received a few things from Matt at Obsessed Garage. Also received some Rupes products from The Rag Company (ie Polish & Pads). Also, the Quadrant Towels for removal of AvalonKing prior to using the towel in their kit for leveling. Lots of items yet to order from Car Supplies Warehouse before starting the 2 day project plus 2 days of curing. Thanks again for this video and all past videos on products.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You ordered some awesome stuff there! It will make your experience so much better. 👍🏻

Pan, Avalon King emailed and let me know their product was perfect over XPEL paint Protection. Weather here is starting to improve, so I'm getting closer to application! Looking forward to it!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Enjoy!

[@kimnewling5728]

Ordered 2 bottles and waiting. Kinda cool that they email you while product is being shipped, on "how to" install coating. Nobody does that. I'm glad I waited a bit to try ceramic coatings, because they are easier then they use to be, and less expensive. You also lower the anxiety level quite a bit for us beginner's by watching you videos. Thank you a ton!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Kim! I like to empower my viewers with the knowledge and confidence they need so they can go out there and enjoy detailing their own cars. 👍🏻

I just applied my armorshield IX today and the hardest part and most work was the prep and WOW!!! the shine and gloss is awesome

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Pretty easy to apply hunh? :)

[@pedrocarrillo6411]

Yes it was very easy to apply and also easy to level. I would say very user friendly just follow the steps and this was also my first time with a ceramic coating. I usually use TLC 2.0 which will now be my topper. Next will be CSL & EXO4. I also have another kit of armorshield IX bc i ordered 2 but found that is was so easy to apply that there wasnt a need for a second coat and unboxing the armorshield was very exciting and satisfying

[@pedrocarrillo6411]

And I watch your channel and obessed garage channel bc i love your product reviews and great tips and tricks and i relate to matt moremen bc i am also crazy about the best products for my car even if they can be a tad bit high priced lol but i like my car to be too notch and always dialed in also is there a way to send you pictures of my car coated since you are how i heard about the product ?

My pleasure Joe! How did you discover my channel?

[@davidmendoza4168]

I like that it's universal but pan do you think it's better to use different Ceramic coatings that it's made for ?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I tend to prefer dedicated coatings for specific surfaces. But not everyone has an unlimited budget, and some just a "one size fits all" solution and like the versatility of one coating, so this is a perfect solution for them. Inexpensive, super easy to apply, decent performance and durability of 1-2+ years if well maintained.

[@James-ti3vl]

Can u apply the ceramic coating on rubber trim and rubber seals around a convertible's door/top?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

No, coatings are meant for harder surfaces. There are coatings for glass, paint, wheels, plastic trim. For the rubber seals around doors and convertible tops, it's best to use a silicone spray which will help keep the seals supple and keep moisture out and prevent them from freezing during cold winter months (so doors don't get stuck when trying to open them). There should be many silicone sprays for rubber seals available at your local auto parts store.

Pan, what is the best way to clean the old ceramic coating from my plastic trim in order to prep it for another coat?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You can't polish plastic trim, so no real way to ensure 100% removal unless you are near the end of its lifecycle. Wash the car, use an APC on the plastic trim with an appropriate brush, and then rinse and dry, and then use an IPA to wipe the plastics. You should be good to recoat.
