I had my Burgundy Velvet Lincoln Nautilus ceramic coated about 7 months ago. It is gorgeous. Took my Amber Whiskey Freewheeler to just get it detailed in early December. They called me & told me that they were ceramic coating a car and had some leftover and did all the painted areas of my trike. Um, I didn't ask for that and don't have the money to pay for it. No, it's a courtesy as you're a great customer. Went to pick up my trike and OMG it was just amazing. There was so much depth to the paint. People stare at my trike wherever I ride it.

[@deangraham4263]

I just use Adam’s spray ceramic. spray it down and use a little leaf blower and it’s done. The chrome wheels tho have a tending too after about 2 months.They have a paste kind of ceramic that’s even harder but haven’t invested in it yet. Definitely worth the buy for a bike.

lmao, I love the really dont wash my bikes comment. I literally just yesterday hit the bike with the pressure washer yesterday. first time in like 3 years.

[@easyglider1307]

You can do it. I did my 2014 Vulcan Vaquero. The candy orange paint looks immaculate after I did the ceramic coat. Bugs clean off easier as well. I still need to do the Road Glide. You are going to want to clay the paint down to get any contaminants off first. I also machine polished any swirl marks off the paint first. By the way IPA spray is literally Isopropyl Alcohol mixed with distilled water. You can make it yourself.

[@RoadRage810]

I used Avalon King on my Forester when I bought it new a little over 2 years ago and it is still going strong. I used it on both of my bikes as well and it is great for ease of cleanup and keeping it shiny and clean. My MT-07 with the cyan wheels is a nightmare to keep clean but after the ceramic coating they clean up with just clear water. I also recommend using their booster as well just to add more protection in an easy way.

[@51stStatesman]

That’s why I like the Lucas waterless wash. It smells like bubblegum. LOL!! Just imagine the fumes it’s covering.

With the side note. I got a new truck 2 years ago after keeping my old truck 16 years. I still have to convince myself I made the right decision. It’s just a ford 150 stx. But the price of these things is ridiculous lol

[@Grimmeute]

I had mine ceramic coated by our paint and body guy 2 weeks after I bought my bike. You will want to make sure your paint is flawless before you do it. It will lock in any swirls, dust, scratches, etc. Anyhow… it makes wiping or washing so much faster. And you won’t need to wax. Stuff I got was $350 and last 5 years.

[@HarleyFatBoyJr]

Let’s Go!!! 🤙🏾🔥

[@stevemolina8801]

My nieces hubby had a detailing company and they did my 16 SGP, The stuff is bitchenI I don't get half the bugs sticking to is as there used to be. If the bike sits for a week or so the dust doesn't even stick to it. I just stray it down with water and blow it off and looks like it just came out of the showroom!

[@Rooftop16s]

Wow

[@bucky0868]

What keeps the stuff from getting rock hard on the applicator? Sounds like you need a new cloth and sponge for every panel.

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

It doesn't harden that fast, but by the time you do a whole car I would say you will have "used up" a cloth. You get 4 so you'll have enough to use the whole bottle.

[@JT_70]

I think adding additional drops to the applicator keeps it soft. The cloth applicator stays soft for the entire vehicle. Once you let the cloth dry it will get stiff. Application is pretty quick. You MUST wipe off the haze almost immediately. If it dries too long you will have a hard time getting the haze off.

[@johnm9279]

So did you get a dually aka (nal-gonna) or slim jim single wheel.

[@paulhall8027]

Can you use ceramic coating on chrome as well? If so, does it shine it like a polish? I may need to experiment...

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

Nope. It’s just a paint protectant. You dont want to get it on anything that doesn’t have a clear coat really.

[@AvalonKing]

Actually it is safe on any surface that won't absorb. Avoid leather and rubber. Bare metal, chrome, plastic, paint are all not only safe but will add a solid layer of protection!

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

[@MrBuffaluffagus]

Not hard at all, but you need to know how to prepare your paint surface. Their car shampoos and prep spray are good, but you need to polish your paint before you apply the ceramic. I do quite alot of ceramic coatings. It's actually a good coating and exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended.

[@derekdennis1389]

Any recommends on polish for paints or a prep spray since they are out of theirs?

[@MrBuffaluffagus]

@@derekdennis1389 I'd recommend Koch Chemie 6.01, Sonax Perfect Finish, Sonax 6-4, 3D One, or TurtleWax One and Done. Use with a dual action polisher and start with either a Buff and Shine URO Fiber Pad, Yellow Rupes Pad, White Lake Country Pad or Orange Lake Country Pad. Once you complete the polish portion use a prep spray such as Mothers CMX Prep Spray, Ethos Detox, or Gyeon Prep.

@ Professional Monkey... I'm in

[@gsosenko]

Truthfully, I think ceramic coatings ( Si02) are slightly overrated. It's far more important to prep the surface (paint) by polishing to a high gloss and using a Si02 sealant like Technicians Choice Ceramic spray or P&S Beadmaker. Having said all that, I have used ceramic coatings on my Harley, BMW and Mercedes. Be prepared, ceramic coatings don't last forever and won't protect against scratches or stone chips.

[@vernmoore7710]

Medical MJ is good to go, but have your card with you if you're carrying over 1 ounce (up to 3 ounces MMJ is legal). Recreational MJ is iffy because laws in SD are in the process of changing. RMJ is legal in Montana and a lot is sold on the Reservations that makes its way across the state line into SD. One ounce is the legal limit of RMJ. When Recreational is fully legal in SD, a shop in Sturgis or Deadwood is gonna be a gold mine.

Might have to give the stuff a shot! Even though it kinda made me cringe a little that you didn't do a full paint correction before hand! I'm assuming that's why cars cost so much to get coated because they should be doing a full paint correction on the vehicle before hand!
