Mr. Brian, sorry couldn't be between the first three today. When your notification showed up I was driving my van helping my oldest son move to another place. Great video on how to do something like this. This is very helpful. Xoxo from Puerto Rico

[@user-ue7mw7hg7n]

Thankyou Brian, a huge relief to finally get a real answer for this issue. In Australia it's rare to find a correctly coated vehicle these dealership spray coatings with "lifetime" warranties are everywhere

[@neilwalker5041]

Another great video full of tools to put in my toolbox. I never would have thought of this combination which is why I’m the amateur and your the professional!

[@jamest7485]

Thank you for taking the time to give us so much knowledge! The car is coming out beautifully.

Really enjoy these mini series😎

[@qmoonwalker3847]

Thanks Brian! 3D One and a white pad. That’s the combo I was hoping for since I have those items. Great video!

Awesome video Brian! Thanks!

Very useful information. Thanks for the great video!

Boy, it's amazing how little of the liquid goes a long way.

[@chrismurphy783]

I wish I had a garage to try one of these coatings.

[@apocalypse487]

Seriously. The main reason why I want to buy a house. The second reason is I need to move away from the city. Train stations get old real fast.

[@michaelcampbell01985]

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's a beautiful grand national in the background sir. Would love to see a video on that😁😁 (im not a car guy at all). Absolutely love the mini series you put on and th review of the products you do. Keep up the great work sir and thank you for all you do.

Thanks again, your great!!

Great video

[@norcalspitshine9067]

Nice thanks Brian

[@mikeyp2447]

I hope I never have to remove a high tier coating. Thanks for the video!

[@apexdetail85]

It’s not fun Mike.

[@apocalypse487]

@@apexdetail85 I'm glad I was already watching your channel before I bought my car so I knew not to get a coating from the dealership. If I need one, I'd rather do it myself, but to be honest, I'd rather take it to a shop like yours.

[@waynvision7178]

@@apexdetail85 Out of curiosity, what are the ramifications if a painter were to paint over a coated car?

[@justsayin3600]

I've got a high tier coating and got a few scratches on my door. I made the mistake and used some Meguiars Scratch X to rub it out. I basically hazed up areas on my door. Ceramic coating is awesome if you take care of it like it's supposed to be. If you run it through a brush carwash, no matter what kind, it can mess it up really bad. I wish I had never had it done. I would have rather just hand waxed it.

[@TheJared1445]

I’ve had to, Not fun. In fact acetone and even isopropyl alcohol was even removing the supposed professional coating.

[@JohnThompson-ud7et]

As usual, another great series Brian! (Really loved all of the Mini series videos too!). Wondering if you’ve ever tried the Griots Surface Prep? They said that the surface prep will also break down a ceramic coating. Wondering if that’s true? Thanks for always putting out great content - especially as a weekend enthusist - it’s always great to learn real and good content from a professional!

[@Codriver72]

As always the video is informative and educational. I think this is going to be some real gloss. Already looking really good and there is more to come?

[@geo7809]

I see a Grand National in the background 👍

[@billr8667]

Do you open the doors, hood, etc. and clean the edges while you're removing coatings?

[@tomasaro4910]

Looks really good. Tac system nano Diamond Graphene coating seems hard go find. Can I use SPS/Ardeshine Graphene as a coating on Tac System UHS (Artdeshine I think have some Graphene light as levelling to for use).? Is Graphene a working combo on ceramic coating always?

[@Mark-cw3io]

Why didnt you use the eastwood prep prior to the coating? Just curious.

[@Abc-tu9ry]

Thanks for part 2. 🙌 . Is there actually a product that is invented to remove ceramic coating?

[@Nade375]

Have you ever tried Dupli-Coat paint prep? I've been using for a while it seems to work well.

[@billmccann217]

So would something like Tac Systems Moonlight be chemically removable or would it require some polishing?

[@functionaldoc5054]

Brian I don't see the TAC systems Graphene on Carzilla's website ?

[@intothedetails1972]

Another awesome video 👍 How often do you switch out your towels used to remove transfer solution and buffing? Thank you Brian. Looking forward to the next one!

[@apexdetail85]

I go through 5 pair per car.

[@jonasgolden3277]

In previous videos you have used 3D One as primer without wipe down, any reason for wipe down here?

[@gust9464]

Great video, thank you. Do ceramic coatings expire if you don’t use them in 2-3 months?

[@johnpawlowski804]

I used 3d one and a 50/50 pads.then polished with polish angel perfect polish.

[@danzilmack9325]

How long had ceramic coating been out for? I can see you love detailing. It motivates me again to get back into it.

[@TheAverageJoeX]

Brian, Would you consider Xtreme solutions LVR 403 or 404 a coating if it leaves behind an acrylic layer or Trifecta that leaves behind Si02? How should I go about redoing/reapplying a year or so down the road? I have 3D One, Angelwax Perfect polish and the polishes listed above.

[@jimthomson9044]

After you spot corrected, you used the Eastwood Pre Paint product to remove oils, etc. Was this step an alternative to your usual decontamination contact wash with something like Purple Power soap? Or, do you do it in addition to the contact wash?

[@joeydny5816]

Hey brian can i remove polish angel glasscoat with sonax perfect finish or do you think i have to go more aggressive?

[@chadj8349]

I want to try some of the new graphene coatings and toppers but I still have at least a couple years left on my coatings probably more on my car that I only drive on nice days. I also have plenty of moonlight left for trim and wheels. Maybe I’ll try it on the daily that’s coated with Gtechniq CSL+exoV4, but have found that coating takes some work to remove.

[@renelord4819]

Need an advice! I did , for a friend,a ceramic coating to a brand new BMW (Carpro CK 3.0). I have two high spots to correct. Is a microfiber pad with Carpro Clearcut or Fixer could be a solution? Thank you. To prepare the plaint that was in excellent condition, after decontaminatio I used Carpro Essence on a Gloss Pad. I am proud of the result....except for those Highspots.

[@grand04gt]

Oh so you can put a graphene coating over a si02? I put cquartz uk and gliss on my car a couple years ago and got some battery acid down the side of my car so its going in on the 8th for a repaint so will be looking at coating it again once the paint had some time to cure. Love the videos and i use Carzilla too they are great as is Auto Obsessed. Looking forward to the next one

[@jepray23]

Hi My friend what polish or product you recommend to me for removing the Carpro cquart coating?

[@sammylin2459]

Thanks for the great video Brian. I have a question. Can I use Griot's Garage's Boss correcting cream instead of 3D one to remove existing ceramic coating? Thank you for your reply in advance. :)

[@ankittripathi1231]

Hey there, can we use TW hybrid ceramic curing it for 24hrs, top it up with seal and shine then after 4-5 washes topping it with a TW ice quick detailer ????? Because the application is easy to use

[@aimonecastellacci1618]

What’s up with the GNX behind the Porsche? Getting coated??

[@daciai2201]

Hi Brain If I don’t remove ceramic, can I put graphene on top of existing ceramic? 🙏🏻 thanks

[@ludak83]

Is the base coating Si02 based?

[@autoartistdetail]

i want to ask that, how many pads need to remove coatings ? can we use only pad for this work. Second thing is that i also want to know that can we compound or polish whole car with one pad on rotary?

[@e.jackson250]

Won't the finish on the car load up your pad as you are getting the paint ready for the graphene wax?

[@koyomin4143]

How long you let it dwell then wipe off the coating?

[@Piglet6256]

hmm, no tackiness from a Tac Systems coating :P. But informative and fun video Brian! Beautiful car as well but that scratch on the front bumper would bother me like hell and had to go if it was my car though!

[@rajivkishore]

Hi Brian do you really believe the graphene top coat is warranted after 2 layers of SiO2 coating? I have heard that graphene coating bonds only to bare clear coat and that layering graphene coatings give no extra durability. I just think just using a spray coat as a topper/sacrificial layer would have been enough. Thanks for the video!

[@waynebrimhall538]

I just put a ceramic coating on my car. Can I now add a graphene coat on top of that like you did?

[@johnpivovarnik9678]

Hi Brian, Another great video. Question did you ever here of XPEL Fusion plus ceramic coating ? Do you think it’s any good. It said on there card only to be maintained by authorized installer only. Do not wash , detail or polish without prior Authorization. Doesn’t sound good to me.

[@apexdetail85]

I cannot say I have tried that one.

[@darkwhorse]

Thank you Brian. Looking forward to the future with graphene coatings. Not that I know anything about a Adams coatings but I suspect that with the UV glow it would be a lot easier to take their coating off because you would be able to UV light the car as you removed the coating. I have a question regarding SiO2 coatings: would they eventually just wear off to the point where you wouldn't need to buff it off?

[@keithknechg3217]

Really really good question.i guess anyone using all the new stuff,you can see when it starts to go flat...front 1/3 of the hood is usually where to watch.thats where the seal n shine started to fade out first....9 mos. after app.

[@apexdetail85]

There would be blotches or areas that still exist here and there to polish off. I agree... excellent question.👍

[@tommyneil303]

Car is looking amazing 👏 Do you use just one applicator towel to apply the coating to the full car? Or do you change it after a panel or two?

[@apexdetail85]

I use around four per car.

[@jimmyqballs]

That is one scary job, that's gotta be among the hardest difficulty jobs a detailer would have to do, no? This video made me realize the UV light reflecting coating that Adams is using is an excellent idea, assuming it lasts the life of the coating. That would be a slick way to let a detailer know when its there or not without having to possibly go too far...

[@Ludo_A]

So, the loss of slickness tells you the coat is gone? No other way(s) to detect it?

[@joeydny5816]

I had polish angel glass coat v2 i wanted to strip it off for ethos graphene coating. Chemical guys clean slate pretty much ripped it right off. I am going to polish with angel wax redemption n follow it up with perfect polish

[@jamesf3048]

Great video Brian, this question is a little off topic but I just bought a maxshine 15mm machine and wanted to know a brand of grease thay you recommend to repack it? Thanks in advance

[@jamesf3048]

@@apexdetail85 I appreciate the response Brian, I went back and watched the video on the maxshine 15mm you did and saw you had already answered the question. Sorry for the repeat question, but I appreciate your videos and opinion, so I had to ask.

[@edwardsferrazza9646]

Please help me out. A body shop in NY installed widebody moldings on my phantom black hellcat. I guess they were trying to do me a favor and applied a ceramic coating on the car without doing a paint correction on the entire car as it was desperately needed. It had those “spider webbing “ from the previous owners using an automated car wash. Now i have a rough feeling ( wasn’t clayed) highly protected film on my car and it’s bothering me. What do i do? Where are you located? How can i get in touch with you? PLEASE!!! Perhaps i can ship the car to you?

[@oldvetwhotravels.5326]

Sir. I am a new subscriber. You are very knowledgeable. And your results are outstanding! Just curious as to how you learned to do all of this?

[@henryfreeman6113]

Years of work

[@ralphharding8101]

Why ceramic base coating then graphene topper?

[@marklin0124]

is there a reason why u use 2 different panel preps? or just for demo purpose?

[@apexdetail85]

The second time around... the strength of Eastwood was not necessary for just polish residue. Always the least aggressive method when possible.

[@Russpilot]

How much difference are you seeing in the protection and overall look with graphene vs silicon?

[@apexdetail85]

The cars coming back for maintenance are holding up so far. A lot of that has to do with the foundation of these coatings being ceramic based. Something not often mentioned.

[@keithknechg3217]

Brian,my only question( and you just now answered it,semi) for a non pro but a fairly experinced person,...what is the easiest way to tell all the existing crap is gone? Water test,...????not removing a hardcore sio2 ,just sprayons and toppers.???

[@apexdetail85]

The slickness wears away. After a few removals. You will be able to feel the pad dig into the clear again when through the slick coating... if that makes sense.

[@Rich--J]

The one thumbs down so far, must be from the guy who applied it at the dealership:) Great video and informative as always. Thank you!

The dealer coating? Are you kidding? Complete scam. Junk coatings to make a quick buck. How do I know... I fell for it once.😞

[@PR2k9]

@@mikeyp2447 Thanks for the reply. Does it not do any protection at all? Or is it bad for the paint in some way? Other problems with it? I assume its not as good as what Brian uses, but I'm wondering why you wouldnt just leave it on until it wears off and then put a better protection on? I'm curious what I'm missing here.

[@lifeofbrian9511]
