HOW DO WE REMOVE CERAMIC COATINGS? The mother of all chemical resistance tests!!

HOW DO WE REMOVE CERAMIC COATINGS? The mother of all chemical resistance tests! In this video, I demonstrate how to remove a ceramic coating from a car. Ceramic coatings are multi-year semi-permanent paint protectants and typically resist chemicals in a wide pH range, usually pH 3 to 12. They are the most durable form of paint protection, so what do you do if you want to remove them from your paint? Can a simple stripping soap do the trick? Can alkaline or acid based cleaners do the job? The results might SHOCK YOU!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Great suggestion!

[@IVAN2233]

@@PanTheOrganizer did you end up making this video?

[@georgiosmitru666]

Thanks Pan for giving an actual clear answer to the question! A lot of detailers leave us with more questions than answers in the end of their videos. If you can answer me question I will really appreciate it. Does an old wax that has remained on the car for 3-4 months needs to be removed with some process before you apply a new wax? They say that when you apply a second coat of wax you also remove the old one, so my understanding is I can wax my car every month if I wanted without using any process like special shampoos that claim this result. I also was very proud when I found out that you are Greek!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

For waxes you don’t have to remove the previous coat. You just layer.

[@todtalk3912]

If you want to remove the old wax, there are what is called strip washes which help break down those waxes and sealants, they wouldn't do anything on this paint, and then when your rinsing car, keep an eye what it looked like when you did your pre rinse and see what it looks like after you strip wash to guage where your at. Also, you need to use only the strip wash because a lot of washes now have some sort of protection built into them, so if your looking to remove the old wax remember you dont wanna add new wax, even goes for clay bar, if your using a detail spray (which all clay lubes are basically a detail spray, you can do this on the cheap with many products, you might wanna re wash the vehicle again with the strip wash and be certain none of the detail spray adhered to the paint.

[@frankpavan7865]

Great video Pan. I would not have thought that the ceramic coating could have withstood such abuse. Makes for a great selling point for people in future thinking about applying it to their cars. For professional detailers like many of us it makes for a much easier sell. Thanks!!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Frank! :)

[@lordmaximus]

Thank you Pan! I have always wondered how long the coatings would last and what they could repel. A few of my cars have had professional ceramic coatings applied and lost some of the hydrophobic properties overtime, so I though the coating was gone. I am pretty sure it was due to my bad maintenance wash habits and not the coatings. those bad wash habits have no changed due to your videos! Thank you!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Glad to help! And you are right. A good maintenance regimen is key. At least once every two or three months, once should do a good wash, possibly use a tar and iron remover, and finish with a coat of silica spray sealant to replenish the coating and ensure maximum durability and keep its properties top notch.

Great video Pan, the only suggestion I have is to clarify the difference between “PRO GRADE” vs “PROSUMER GRADE” coatings and how to remove them because most pro grades like crystal serum ultra, opticoat etc need to be wet sanded since polishing will not completely remove them with polishing alone like it will on a prosumer grade product.

Good afternoon, Pan. Excellent video! Some conclusions that can be made based on the experiment: 1) The ceramic coating is resistant to several automotive cleaning products; 2) The "Carpro" products that were tested proved to be safe on surfaces with ceramic coating; 3) The water repellent properties improve with a ferrous, organic washing and decontamination process and removal of acid rain stains or water stains; 4) Compounds with a more acidic or alkaline pH can interfere with the water repellency of the ceramic coating. It is suggested that other methods are necessary to remove the ceramic coating, in this case, mechanical processes. Thank you very much for the video, Pan. It was very brave to test the products on this beautiful BMW!

[@ethan5144]

How do you know if you did remove the ceramic coating with mechanical polishing and or wet sanding when the hydrophobic properties may be gone but the protection still there?

[@SIat]

No consumer grade coating will survive polishing or wet sanding. A professional grade 5+ year coating might, but that’s it. I hand polished a spot on my hood a month after applying cquartz and it completely removed it in that spot. But to answer your question after you polish just use an IPA wipe down and if it’s super slick then there might be ‘some’ protection left but if it’s a little grippy then there’s nothing there. If you rinse that panel and see zero beading or sheeting that’s also another way to tell

[@jayz313]

Great video! I appreciate your dedication to detailing, risking your own car. I do have a couple of questions: 1. Would you reccomend "weaking" the coating with one or more of these chemicals, prior to polishing off with a DA? 2. The Carpro bug remover intrigued me with its cleaning abilities. Would you reccomend this as a possible step in reviving or deep cleaning a coated vehicle?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Jay! To answer your questions... 1) Not necessary. I would simply do a wash, iron remover, claybar, and start the polishing process. 2) To revive and deep cleaning a coated car, at least once every 6 months, you should wash the car, use a tar remover followed by an iron remover. Watch my 1 year update video on my coated car: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5WXqHqXoNqGjdU You wouldn't do exact all those steps on coatings that aren't as chemical resistant, but you get the big picture.

Hello from Germany….thanks for another great and informational video. You are a brave soul submitting your BMW to such harsh treatment but your video drove the learning point home. My Volvo XC40 was ceramic coated immediately after purchase in March 2019 and am totally satisfied. The application was performed by a local professional and came with a 5 year certified warranty. Ater viewing your video on the new Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro Graphene FEX Wax, i had my two bottles mailed over from the USA. While it’s currently too cold yet to apply TW Flex Wax, I plan to use it as a topping and general maintenance. Got the beer on ice awaitig your next video!!!

Really awesome video Pan! Always love your passion. Not sure if those chemicals are harmful but just for safety maybe wear a mask next time when you have to spray a lot of them? I felt kind of worried when you had to spray them back to back lol.

[@Ozzcaddy]

G'day Pan, I have now caught up with your videos. I'm glad it was your car and not mine that you did this chemical test on, as we both have the same ceramic coating (2 years old as well in Feb). The first few chemical tests was basically doing a chemical decontamination which was why the coating came back to its original form. Nice to know the coating can withstand a beating of chemicals, knowing this would not happen in reality. I finally got to chemically decontaminate my car and I used the Optimum Power Clean tip you mentioned before foaming the car, worked a treat. The decontamination brought back the hydrophobic properties like new, as did yours. I finished it with Turtle Wax Seal & Shine(new formula) as a topper. Compliments keep coming from neighbors. Thoroughly enjoyed the torture test. Ozz

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Ozz! Did you see my one year Opti-Coat Pro+ update video where I followed the yearly maintenance recommendations from Dr Ghodoussi (owner and chemist of Opti-Coat) And ex Vice President of Optimum Yvan Lacroix? Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5WXqHqXoNqGjdU

[@peterjurenovskis5933]

Hey Pan, Another stellar video. Before you decided to use your own car and a plethora of chemicals on the coating, did you discuss this with Yvan Lacroix (Opti)? The self healing properties of your coating are stunning. I knew the answer to the removal question, but it was great to see proof instead of taking someone’s word for it. Keep it up!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I didn't discuss with him before the test, as he had already told me when installing this coating on my car almost 2 years ago that Opti-Coat Pro+ had that pH 0-14 incredible chemical resistance, so I was quite confident coming into it. When I saw the surface being scarred by Super Clean, I spoke to him after the video was filmed, and asked if that was normal. That's when he told me not to worry about it, and that it was probably just some residue and that would eventually wash off and the coating would self-heal. And that's what I noticed a week later, hence the mini update clip in the video showing that the hydrophobics came back after a few washes.

[@peterjurenovskis5933]

@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for the response. The only thing I’d add is that the chemical effect might be cumulative. Each subsequent addition of the chemicals wears on the coating (even if followed by a pH neutral soap and rinse). It would weaken the coating. It just so happens that the coating that you have applied is stronger than the total (great for you). This might not be the case with some of the weaker coatings. Great topic Pan! Keep it up and stay safe.

[@brianhickey5949]

I think these coatings are great! I only found one thing (by accident) that can damage a coating - wheel and tire cleaner (strong commercial grade). I inadvertently splashed some on my own coated vehicle and found it an hour later. There were dull spots on the finish that I couldn't remove chemically. I went to the compound and pad to remove the coating mechanically and re-applied. Thank you for the realistic demonstration :) I think dwell time is a big factor - longer dwell more reduction in coating function.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Dwell time has zero effect on coatings like Opti-Coat Pro+. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for another great video Pan! Question: I live in Sweden where where we have cold winters with much snow and where a lot of road salt is being used (guess it’s similar to a lot of places in Canada). During winter we use petroleum based degreasers on the lower parts of the car to get rid of road salt, bug, tar, asphalt. Would you argue that the use of such degreasers will have an effect on my ceramic coating (Cquartz UK 3.0)?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes they could. A good top coat helps. You could apply one coat of CarPro SiC on top.

[@rafibenjaro2295]

@@PanTheOrganizer thanks! Would you recommend me using a non petroleum based degreaser instead given that I have a ceramic coating to get rid of road salt, tar, asphalt, etc.

You could wash, tar remover, iron remover, dry the car, CarPro Eraser wipe down, and apply SiC.
