Welcome back guys, today we are working on this vehicle, I coated 4 months ago and received a call with coating failure. Do you think this coating is clogged?

Not your fault bro. You can see all the scratches on the front….they were probably using a brush or a tunnel car wash. With enough abrasion the ceramic coating will be removed. I’m wondering if the coating didn’t fail but rather it’s been slowly removed due to improper washing?
@serranosmobileАй бұрын
I'd say it was heavily cloged
@Murph97Ай бұрын
Maybe but I’ve always been able to unclog a coating. If a coating can’t be unclogged then the right chemicals weren’t used or the coating isn’t very good. I know you’re a pro so I’m sure the right decon chemicals were used. Just saying, maybe try a new brand. C6 is pretty stout.

The way I look at it, is you did more then enough on the business aspect and customer satisfaction side. In taking care of client. A thing to remember too is if you are coating numerous vehicles theirs always going to be one vehicle that things just don’t go right. Part of life & business! Good job sir 🫡

Honestly ceramic coatings are kind of frail if you need to be constantly respraying "boosters" for maintenance then that tells me they don't last very long.

I think coatings are great but in my experience you have to take care of them to keep them performing properly. It looks to me like something is on top of the coating on that one side. You just never know what the customer does to the car when you are not there.

There much more you coulda done instead of reapplying a coating and paint enhancement. Good on you for taking care of the customer but there is boosters, clay, decon, I heard water spot remover works too. I’m sure all Those are products you had on hand instead of buying a brand new coating!

Did you check the paint thickness? I suspect the drivers side had been repainted and not fully cured, the out gasing will cause bonding issues.

I respect you doing this and I understand why you did it BUT those scratches on the hood tell me all I need to know!! SOMEBODY was doing something they aren't suppose to be doing..... Sucks bc they are a long term customer of yours and they would rather destroy their paint than call you for maintenance service. DO NOT LET THEM DO THIS TO YOU AGAIN! Seal has NEVER failed on ANY of the cars I have done, 0 fails. That looks like it was clogged or somebody used a strip soap or some chemical on the paint. That was weird in every way, but customer is always right if you wanna keep them happy, but if it were me this would be their one and only questionable freebee. I record every single service I do that way I can always go back and look to see if I screwed up and also just in case someone tries to bad mouth me which has only happened once but I shut that crap down immediately so it did not effect me, ppl will try to get over if they don't know you record every service you do, recording my work is always in the paperwork and i tell them before i get their that I record my work and it will not be posted online without permission which I Rarely ever post any of my work online, I do plan on starting a youtube channel Im just terrified of the internet lol. You handled this the right way as long as they have never done this to you before.... Love your channel and your transparency with what you do, i love learning new things especially how to handle certain situations I haven't been through yet.

I really struggle with ceramic coatings on dailies. With them needing a topper every 3-6 months, at what point is the coating gone and topper doing all the work? Might as well apply a good ceramic sealant and not bother with a coating. But, people want the coating.
