Installing C6 Hydro Lite on my Subaru! With

[@BreezeMW]

This is a perfect example of why Yvan preaches communication. This guy is just doing his own thing and Nick was all over the place with the wipe off and that is how you get high spots. This guy may know what he’s doing but he clearly doesn’t know how to work as a team. Don’t worry Nick I don’t like cocky guys either. If someone is watching this trying to learn how to PROPERLY apply the coating, go watch Pan The Organizers video with Yvan for the safe and efficient way of doing this.

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

Can i use app instead of panel prep with the diy coatings? Is it for sale separately?

[@BreezeMW]

@@eddieblount216 yes the APP is what’s recommended for all their coatings in place of panel prep. APP is the panel prep

[@Marketing4Money]

@@eddieblount216yes it is. Work with the diy coatings too

[@border056]

Finally had a moment to watch the full video. This guy gave me so much anxiety. It seemed like he was butting heads with Nick the entire way through the install. "You're applying it too thick, that's why we like doing circles". Finally, the dude starts doing circles "Hey, can I apply it my way now?". At the end when Nick said "We have a glass coating coming out, we're not going to do the glass". The guy starts doing the glass anyway. I wouldn't trust this detailer with my business if he's not going to follow basic instructions. Listening is the most important part of working in a service industry.

It's because he plays the DIY'er, the guy who knows a little something about detailing but is there to ask questions and learn. A lot of times he asks questions he already knows the answer to, for a reason.

[@mikezupancic2182]

@privacyrules I know exactly the reason as he's stated, but as part owner and the spokesperson I would want a different approach. One can answer the questions without appearing as though they don't know their products.

[@diydetailofficial]

Good call!

[@JohnBackman-y9t]

How much of a difference would it make if I didn't use APP and just used Panel Prep. Are there any other steps I can take to swell the paint better to make it more receptive of Hydro Lite?

[@diydetailofficial]

C6 Ceramics APP will give you better durability and gloss over simply using panel prep.

[@Cocomarsdance]

Good video guys

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@Adam-cn7it]

Bit of an oddly specific question here… is it always recommended to throw out any towels used for leveling a ceramic coating such as C6 Hydro Lite?

[@diydetailofficial]

No, don’t waste towels. Instead when done, soak them in your wash bucket for about 15 minutes

[@Adam-cn7it]

@ thanks for the advice as always. You guys always keep things as simple and efficient as possible and that’s what I appreciate about the DIY brand.

[@bboykamo725]

You can tell Jamie is a pro! Does it like a boss! All these other people are just scared to do quality coatings like a boss!

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@kevind_53]

If the hydro light is better than the Stack it's a hell of a "consumer grade" coating! I can't wait to put my hand on one!

It’s definitely a pro coating that’s Available to consumers.

[@dennissnoek93]

maybe a stange question, i have 2high spots in my wheels 1 in the barrel and 1 on the backside of the wheel, so normally you cant see them when the wheels are not of. is it a issue and can i leave them where they are? on my car i havent any, but what is the issue with high spots? is it only visual??

[@onecoldgamer6022]

Hello, going to do my first ever coating and polishing. 2 questions: can I use a DA to apply the app? Also, after applying the coating do I pass a dry towel or wet? Very excited. Thank you in advance.

[@diydetailofficial]

3-9 mm da. Dry towel.

[@azimpetra]

😂 Nick playing catch up. I’m with Nick, do it slow, do it once. You’re already spending so much on the coating.

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you

[@BlueJeanF150]

With the DIY theme, if you need so little App, will there be a more consumer friendly bottle size? Or does it have other uses?

[@privacyrules]

good question

[@diydetailofficial]

It can be used to prep the surface for any coating or LSP

[@BlueJeanF150]

If I, the DIY consumer, put C6 lite or one of the DIY coatings on, why would I need the rest of the 3/4 bottle of APP that cost $40? I understand the pro guys will do more coatings and use the product on other jobs. Does this have a very long shelf life?

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes it has a very long shelf life

[@bimmerfan9484]

Hi Yvan, I’m a weekend detailer doing details merely as a hobby. I was wondering if I could use hydro lite in this scenario: Decon wash APP one pass (paint is mildly swirled) Then use hydro lite Now my goal is to achieve 75-80% defect removal and high gloss etc. how achievable is this? And what would be the durability of the product? Would it be affected in any way? Also I sometimes use a strong ph cleaner. How long will it take for it to degrade the coating? And also what can I use to revive the coating? Your response is much appreciated Thanks

[@diydetailofficial]

You would be best to use DIY Detail Gold Standard Polish first, the C6 Ceramics APP after. DIY Detail All Clean is safe on DIY Detail coatings. DIY Detail Water Spot Remover is the best way to give your coating a new lease on life

[@JohnBackman-y9t]

I noticed in the website's product description, C6 Hydro Lite is advertised as the "best". Is that just for SEO or can you briefly explain what makes it the "best" in comparison to all the other coatings on the market? My goal is gloss

[@diydetailofficial]

If you’re looking for gloss, look no further. C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite is a proprietary mix of Polysilazane Silicon Dioxide Silicon Carbide Silicon Nitride And Refined Detonated Nano Diamonds. These work together to provide you with an extremely glossy and hydrophobic coating. The technology is cutting edge for automotive applications.

[@patrickadams2824]

does it matter which towels you use to level and wipe the hydro lite coating? i plan on using the leveling towel and the plush buffing towel

[@diydetailofficial]

Perfect

[@dosto233]

So is there a regular version of the Hydro coating as well as a consumer oriented “lite” version? The bottle and box in Pans Porsche video are different that the other posts and videos I’ve seen covering Hydro “Lite”.

[@diydetailofficial]

Correct, pro version and consumer version

[@russchew5158]

When would panel prep be preferred over APP?

[@woofy489]

APP is needed for the c6 ceramic coating while panel prep is used for the other DIY detail coatings

[@diydetailofficial]

The APP is always preferable ( with any coating). But for those not wanting to use it, then DIY Detail panel prep is fine.

[@Upper_Room_Studios]

I'm a firefighter that works at an airport. Our trucks pump from turrets and are always dealing with hard water (hydrant water) that sticks on the truck. I detail our trucks and I used Turtlewax To the max wax and am VERY disappointment. I thought having a wax layer would keep the hard water from etching back into the paint. I ordered C6Hydro lite with panel prep/polish (APP). Will the hard water etch into this? I'm looking for something to put up with hard use as I'm not always there to wipe off the hard water. If not, what do you recommend? Wax layer to be the sacrificial layer instead of C6 or will C6 stand up to etching?

[@diydetailofficial]

C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite will stand up to that best. Using a good non abrasive carnauba wax over it will further reduce the chance of permanent damage. You can use DIY Detail Water Spot Remover when the spots are less than a week old. That said the best protection would be C6 Ceramics Industrial coating, but this means the unit would be out of service 2 days.

[@adamrusch7112]

Could you use panel prep instead of using APP then put Hydro Lite since i dont own an Orbital or Palm sander? Or do you need APP to get best results for Hydo Lite?

[@diydetailofficial]

C6 Ceramics Adhesion Promoter Polish (APP) will give C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite better gloss, performance, and durability. A palm sander is under $30

[@vicjensik5985]

Why should I choose the 6 year Hydro light for $299 vs the 8 year DIY coating for $160? How can a less durable coating be more expensive = confused. What are the pros and cons of each, help please, thx

[@woofy489]

Better hydrophobics and gloss. Cost more because of the Refined Detonated Nano Diamonds

[@BreezeMW]

Don’t pay attention to the ‘years’ attached to the coating. Any coating can last a lifetime if maintained properly. Just because it has 6 years instead of 8 attached to it does not mean it is “less” durable. The Hydro Lite coating will perform better during those 6 years if you were to compare the two and it is technically a lifetime coating if maintained properly.

[@diydetailofficial]

Performance. Both can last much longer if cared for. C6 Ceramics Hydro Lite will give you better gloss and hydrophobics.

[@kennethrohde7234]

Would you use a car lift for ceramic coating ?To make sure of full application.. being slouched over seems very uncomfortable

[@privacyrules]

Get a knee pad or a small stool with wheels.

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes

[@jeremyzollars1151]

I just coated my 4Runner with your 5 year diy ceramic 3 weeks ago. Can I put this on top of it? Would I just wash, then use app then coat?

[@diydetailofficial]

No need, the 5 year is a great coating. If you did want to change you would need to polish, APP then coat.

[@BreezeMW]

I wouldn’t recommend it. The 5 year will perform just fine theirs no need to put another dedicated coating over it. If in a year or two you want to change it up you can always do a quick polish to remove the 5 year and then start fresh with the Hydro Lite Coating.

[@meanf1502]

Nice product an was that a farm truck in the back ground

[@henrylynch9437]

How do you remove bug splatter spots and marks that don’t come off with a simple wash? Is tar remover the best bet? Or does the clay towel get that done? Thanks

[@petegangies]

Pre treat and soak with DIY rinseless. Let the product work and emulsify the bugs. Pressure clean off and repeat. Then contact wash.

[@diydetailofficial]

Time is best.

[@chrissilvestri3642]

Does that compound remove any scratches?I'm about to put this on my car.I ordered it on mother's didn't order the compound so i'm gonna do that now.

You would need to decontaminate and polish.

The C6 Ceramics APP deep cleans the paint and makes it more receptive to the coating.

[@terrymontag1799]

Question: I just had Icon Rocklear coating recently applied to a car - the coating known for not slick feeling... is it possible apply the Hydro Lite to the surface?

Yes, IRC is not a coating, but simply a wipe on clearcoat.

So if you apply the coating without the app, what are the downsides?
