CERAMIC COATING SECRETS & MYTHS: What they do (and don’t do) backed by science

[@jorgepenaranda6881]

Love Yvan's clarifications like "No, the coating won't prevent the plastic from burning" 😆 -A real teacher you are.

Great video, & excellent information of the product line!! 👍🏻 🇨🇦

I installed C6 hydro light Memorial Day weekend here in the states, and it's still going strong. I'm so happy with this product. And also where can I buy a shirt? Thank you for all you do for us.

Yvan, LOVE those red shoes! What model are they? 👍

Can we use APP to open the paints pores before using another companies panel prep? Will that allow for better cleaning prior to coating?

[@LightningDelta]

Can app be used before panel prep? (If applying a different coating).

[@BamaJoeBob]

Me and my detailing OCD, I would want use a panel prep and then use C6 APP afterwards. Besides the extra time that takes (which would not be too much), could this be counter productive and cause the coating to not last as long?

[@jorgepenaranda6881]

Quick question: you use Panel Prep or APP? Not both, right? Either or? Thanks.

Clean and protect

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes

[@charliekennedy4188]

so, if I am applying a DIY detail coating, can I immediately use c6 APP after I wipe my polish off with a microfibre towel?

Interior Ceramic safe on headliner? Affraid to not ruin the glue and to get the headline saggy.

Why do bonnets *hoods* always seem to react differently to coatings & sealants compared with the rest of the car? Every car I work on the coatings is a pain to buff off on the bonnet, it’s not just me that’s noticed this. Is it the engine heating the paint over and over?

[@curtisbender1945]

That would make sense to me. It sees the most heat and thermal expansion/contraction. That’s a great guess!

@ Interesting!

Sorry guys I have had c6 hydro lite on my car since August 24 and it has now almost failed(Scottish winter weather ) and I have done everything from chemical to mechanical decon and still it’s sheeting water very very slow beading is flat . Now I install this using the method you describe as i had an existing coating on my car so used the red jeweling pad on rotary then followed up with app(9mm da ) . So what has went wrong ? Has it not bonded correctly to the abraded existing coating ? So maybe I should have used the yellow waffle pad first on rotary for the extra cut followed by the red waffle pad .

[@diydetailofficial]

Possibly, is it everywhere or only on sections?

[@neilbenzie3618]

Thank you for the reply . It’s everywhere I am afraid . I will purchase more c6 hydro lite so I can redo my Mazda cx60 in spring time ,but until then I will just have to top it with quick beads to bring back the beading and sheeting . I will use the yellow pad followed by the red that way I will definitely have removed everything off so it’s back to bare paint . Oh and I use gold standard polish aswell just in case you mite think I used a different brand of polish and forgot to panel wipe before applying the app . 😃

Since C6 APP is so efficient, availability of an 8 oz bottle would be great.

[@diydetailofficial]

Unfortunately it’s cost prohibitive to change the bottle size.

When will your pad washer be coming out? I’m waiting to polish my other cars until I get a pad washer… and warmer weather 😂Cleaning the pads on my first car to ever polish a couple of months ago was by far the most time consuming and inefficient part of the process.

Thank you.

[@brianfelder5878]

Guys, installing C6 hydro lite soon but I’m concerned about ambient temp in garage. As temps in garage near 50 degree Fahrenheit, what are the issues and complications to look for IF the temp is closer to 50?????

[@diydetailofficial]

50 is the lower limit. The coating will be a little slower in cross linking.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Ready

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.
