[@melansonstevenandrew]

Awesome video guys! As always, lots of great advice and tips (I use the two towel trick like Nick).

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@404notfound.....]

All the best products showing here!! 👍🏻 🇨🇦

[@rickg5932]

This is great content! Thank you!

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@MikeKaufman-d7n]

Awesome! Just picked up the 8/3 recently to give it a try after winter

[@JRichDetailz]

Do it now don’t wait till winter is over

[@MikeKaufman-d7n]

@ Snow is on the ground, temps are below freezing etc. That ship passed. My daughters car won’t be on road for another few weeks so not as easy to get it to me

[@makaliiomori9296]

Yo I'm 100% buying that pad washer. Thats a need moment. Dope video guys! Thanks for showing the stack. I still need to give it a try for sure

[@RemedyAutoDetailOfficial]

Great video! I still enjoy the stack! It's fun to do and performs extremely well !

[@davestewart9146]

The car looks amazing, Yvan I really like your pad washer but the bucket looks like it could benefit with some water weight to keep it from moving, great video guys 👍😁

[@havingtoomuchfun4806]

You 2 need to make more videos together! Jamie actually keeps up with Ivan.

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you, it was fun working with Jamie.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Ready

[@emilepmartin]

Awesome video once again Yvan & THOR dropping stack while taking our stacks...love that dig against BMW heated seats subscription Yvan lol

[@DrkDragon525]

It’s time to ‘stack’ everything!

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes

[@ayasir1956]

Wow, finally I get to see DIY's pad washer in real life action. I really hope the price will be very affordable, as exchange rate + import duties + tax on top of the import duties for us Malaysians, is very expensive hehe.

[@diydetailofficial]

That’s our goal, to make it affordable

[@gorillanismo]

Love DIY so much....let me be that guy: @DIY Detail, What about the 8/5 stack??? is that a thing, benefits or am I overthinking this?

[@diydetailofficial]

Not a viable option.

[@gorillanismo]

@diydetailofficial understood but is a bummer, that would have been a killer coating, super chemical resistance and super gloss

[@PrinceOfDarkness1975]

Hey guys, any idea when Detail Co. Renaissance Microfiber Wash will be back in stock? Ty and Happy New Year!

[@TheHouseofRags]

Should be any week now 👍💯

[@vincentolo9271]

Since I don't have a polisher where can I get this installed here in the northeast??

[@diydetailofficial]

I actually tried the 3 year coating the other day in my shop. Did a black Ford ranger that has finicky paint. My experience with the application of the diy 3 year coating was an absolute nightmare. Smearing was something like i have never experienced. I used 36 mf towels to remove the coating. Like wiping oil off watee.

[@diydetailofficial]

What was used for prep?

[@MastersOFdetailing]

@diydetailofficial i tried using diy panel prep but was causing me issues on the soft finicky black paint. So I chose to use carpro eraser.

[@diydetailofficial]

And what compound and polish were used?

[@MastersOFdetailing]

@diydetailofficial scholl s20 black with orange hdo pad as a 1 step. Did a full wash decon before hand. Keep in mind this car was previously coated about 6 months ago, but the owner came to us to get it re done. Humidity was in the 90s and 40 degrees in Australia on the day. First time using scholl s20, I usually would go with koch chemie.

[@orko540]

also can be to much coating while applying

[@jeffc6832]

Seems like the DIY cordless rotary slows down faster when turned off compared to the corded version. Will it be that way for the final production units? Does the benefit of the graphene still diminish after 3 years when stacked on top of the 8 year?

[@diydetailofficial]

It comes to a stop quickly because of the brushless motor, it’s the nature of the technology. No need to re-apply.

[@rodrigocalderon-aragon7328]

Is there a ambient temperature recommendation when applying c6 lite?

[@diydetailofficial]

Above 50f

[@davekeogh4870]

How does this coating stack compare to clean by pan coating?

[@TheHouseofRags]

Someone should compare the two! Would be interesting 🎉

[@diydetailofficial]

You can’t go wrong either way.

[@ilikechickensausages2075]

It puts the ceramic coating on, or it gets the hose again.

[@TheHouseofRags]

Not the hose 😂

[@diydetailofficial]

No hose was abused in the making of this video.

[@NeilJohn-the-washer]

Is the graphene coating reapplied after 3 years?

[@diydetailofficial]

No need

[@geirnaert]

Why wasn't the APP placed here?

[@diydetailofficial]

We feature different methods.

[@renuing]

How does the 8/3 stack compare to hydro lite? Durability and look? Any other differences to note? Thanks!

What is going on with the audio? Sounds a little off. 🤔

[@TheHouseofRags]

Audio had to be salvaged on this one

Comment for engagement

Engaged.

[@Chancy454SS]

THIS is exactly what’s wrong in this industry. Putting a coating on a coating but it’s not a stack it’s a blending (but we keep calling it stack). The minute anyone suggests it’s a good idea to spend more money on their products by doubling up the coating, it’s time to start running the other way. Why people are so willing to accept this type of “let’s make more money” schemes, I will never understand it and frankly is shameful to this industry.

[@TheHouseofRags]

THE BLEND, either way there are multiple tests on KZbin that have shown the stack does indeed out perform both individual coatings by themselves 💯🫡

[@Chancy454SS]

@@TheHouseofRags Thanks for the lingo but what does that even mean? Multiple tests of your products or some other brand products and it would still be cheaper to buy another bottle in 8 yrs (which I would like to see if it lasts that long) and apply another coating. And what is meant by "outperform". Will last longer than the claimed amount of yrs it's suppose to last or will just help it to last what is suppose to be the amount of yrs it's suppose to last

[@LT4_Zach]

⁠@@Chancy454SS “thanks for the lingo” it was pretty easy to read sounds like you just want attention

[@diydetailofficial]

The stack was originally done as a viewer request. We were frequently asked if the 3 year could be put over our 8 year. We returned to the lab and did some testing. If you apply the 5 or 8 year first, then wait 2-8 hours you effectively create another coating. Before the 2 hour mark the base coating isn’t cured enough and the 3 year coating damages the base coating ( 5 or 8 year). After 8 hours the base coating is sufficiently cured that then the 3 year is simply sitting on top of the base coating , which is a waste of time and money.

[@rickg5932]

Stack on! I’d love to do this on my vehicle.
