I've only coated 4-5 cars prior to trying BC1, and I must say that it was a piece of cake. The one thing that surprised me was the lack of slickness with this product. But after 4-5 hours, I topped with BC3 and sent the vehicle on its way! The "customer" was amazed at the shine! Going on month 4 with several washes and it still looks like the day it was applied!

The four month update on my daily driver which makes multiple trips across Alligator Alley and is the Florida sun for half the month. The Coating is doing fantastic and the plastic trim looks as good as the paint. Topped with BC3 once a month. Also experimenting with BC3 on the wheel wells. Great results so far. Thanks, Brian!

I used BC-1 on my BMW-R9T Motorcycle, as it has an aluminum tank, and it's the slickest I ever felt it, ever. I maintain with the BC-3, and the combination is amazing. It's only a Weekend Rider, but it always looks like a Show Bike among others with this product.

I really enjoyed using this product Brian. As you might imagine it gets pretty hot and humid down here in S Tx And it was 102 in the shade and the heat index was about 109. I coated three full sized pickup’s that day under the tents and your BC 1 didn’t try to resist me at all. It went on and wiped off easily as stated. Unlike a few other brands that I’ve tried yours wins out in the heat contest . I will be purchasing some more here in the next few days. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Brian, love your channel, you have teach me so much regarding machine polishing and also coating that I really think this channel has been a game changer for the industry. I have a question regarding coatings in general, I have a daily driver (that sits outside 24/7) Jetta that I coated all plastics 2 years ago with Carpro Dlux, now the coating has faded and I heard on another channel that this situation is game over. Because the coating is still there but not working I cant apply a product like Solutions Finish to restore but also I cant coat it again because the new coating is not going to bond properly because the previous one is still there and plastic is oxidated. 1. what are my options here? 2. is it a good idea to coat new cars when there is a risk that this could happen?

Ever experienced paint that no paint protection seems to bond to? Ive tried so many type of protection, waxes, sealants, ceramic coatings, wet coats so on, and not a single one sticks like they should. I can polish the car, do two ipa wipe downs, apply whatever protection to see it fail way to quick, last summer a 18 month coating failed in less than a month. My latest try is 303 graphene, best luck so far but after a month horizontal surfaces definetly look worse than they should. Wouldve been cool to try this coating, but unfortunetly I live in Sweden, we dont have as much stuff to choose except the big brands like gyeon etc.

Like when you paste wax a car and miss a spot. It only shows during the late afternoon. You don.t see it during bright sunlight. If you had to guess, what did I do wrong? Also do you sell the applicators? Will be doing another car soon.

Clients car has just arrived for a clean, polish and prep for bc1 and 3
@alanmorelli1426 Жыл бұрын
There are a couple things you can do to keep perspiration from dripping on the car. If using nitrile gloves, you can use sweat bands and wrap them with an elastic sports wrap. Another option is to use light work gloves that have a breathable fabric backing. Home Depot has their own version along with some from Milwaukee that have a grippy surface making it easier to hold the applicator and towels.

After watching your videos I was looking at picking up a rotary, some pads (maybe Koch Chemie orange?) and something like Turtle Wax 1 & Done. Do you think something like this should work, or should I consider a DA and a different compound, I know you've also showcased Sonax and Koch Chemie One Cut. Thanks!
