I'm glad I watched this video I used hydro. Lite on my car, this Memorial Day weekend here in the states. And I'm so happy with the performance. I've been watching your videos and PAN. The organizer videos. And I learned exactly how to coat a car and wash it properly. Thank you for all you guys do. And i'm glad I caught the fact that you can use panel prep on your rims.That's the one thing I didn't do

[@VithushaanThavarajah]

@@diydetailofficial not much help… Sharing here for visibility. Maybe you need to avoid this product completely since it can’t work with a standard panel prep… Here was my email to them…. Did a full decontamination. DIY incredible suds and car pro hydro descale. Did a one step polish even though the car was new. Used the panel prep from car pro Then used the adhesion polish with the red pad from DIY detail. Wiped off any excess residue off the panels then applied the coating. Didn’t wash the car either for 10 days. I’m pretty sure this is what the instructions were and I watched countless KZbin videos by Ivan. It was followed to a tee. ---------- Good afternoon Vithu, Thank you for reaching back out to me I contacted Yvan to double check on things. With the spots it looks like you may have water spots that dried. When did you last wash the vehicle? With the other portion the panel prep seems to be the thing. The panel prep from CarPro is not compatible due to the fragrances it contains. Unfortunately this has caused the trouble. We recommend the DIY Panel prep for our coatings for this reason as we know it is for sure comptable. Please let me know what questions you have. At Your Service, -- Sam Woodyard

[@VithushaanThavarajah]

@@diydetailofficial also note… the app was applied after the panel prep so it should have worked regardless. Don’t like a company that can’t own up to their own mistakes

[@rbakkify]

Is it possible to show a table with the different temperatures and humidity and the different time to wait for the wipe off for the C6 light and pro coatings?

[@diydetailofficial]

It would be too varied, how much is on the applicator is also a factor. This is something you need to develop an eye and feel for.

[@rbakkify]

Thanks 😊

[@geirnaert]

Very informative video on how to apply the app. Paint looks great! Ready to order with the red pad. Is it possible that the cerakote coating can be applied over the app? I still have a few bottles here.

[@cyclechris6591]

I have a question, say I missed a spot on the hood when polishing. It’s a scratched up water deposit. The deposit was removed in prep with the diy waterspot remover but I used some pressure to get it off and i put some light scratches in the clear coat. I needed to 5,5,5 it but I missed it, batteries died in my inspection light, and coated over it with the hydro lite. Silver dollar size area on hood. Can it be polished and re coated in that spot or does the whole hood need to be polished and re coated? I have more than half a bottle leftover, on the cx5 small suv. Thanks.

You can spot correct and coat

If working alone, should you wipe off app before it dries like you teach when using panel prep or is it not as critical?

Hey DIY team, thats a funny little polisher, 3mm you say? Never seen one of those, I've got a 9mm one, the App is here in Poland, waiting for the C6 Hydro Lite, if it's affordable I will try it out. Great job team Ivan and Sylvie, the paint really pops!

[@Greg_P611]

Yea with this product if you over work the ingredients it breaks down the protection built in and hardens so it’s tuff to get off. 3 MM sanders or a 8-9 mm DA will work but don’t buff with it. Just use it to apply it. That’s how I understand the tiny sander machine analogy. Also what is affordable to you? It’s $300 here, and I find that affordable

[@victoryensured7137]

@@Greg_P611 hmm for me it's kinda steep but if it offers realy good durable protection (i realy mean ,,realy" :) then it's value its for me instantly higher as a coating, many factors come into a good coating but im hearing great things so far :) We just have a shipment of DIY coatings 3,5,8 yr ones so im thinking ill try the 3 or 5 yr on my daily, but no C6 yet.

In the past you have discussed the importance of choosing a polish without hydrocarbon solvents because they swell the paint. How is that different than APP which too swells the paint? Might have something in my understanding wrong but always wanting to learn!

At what speed do you like working that phendo sander? Do we need to adjust anything with app application when working with really finicky clear?

I believe and recently used speed 3 on the sander. You need to remove the brake off the sander for better results. Just remove the backing plate and pull off the black rubber o-ring/gasket. That way it spins nicer.

I’m trying to finish up my Dr. Beasley’s NSP polishes then I’m going to try APP. I just would like to know if it has the same or similar qualities as the Dr. Beasley’s stuff. They say that it primes the surface by putting down anchor points on the surface for the ceramic to adhere to. It also has some nano ceramic particles in the formula that helps do this. Is APP similar? I already understand the swelling that it does, but it also has some ceramic family materials in it also. Yvan can you give me the geek out semi scientific information about it please? Thanks

I actually have not tried anything this Expensive due to #1 the Cost and #2 How LONG will it Last? I get that it Varies, I understand that totally, It just seem awfully Expensive to just "TRY IT OUT"? Looks Awesome, No Doubt. Project Farm did some good comparison's, but this product was not in the MIX, and the Old Tried and True RainX was right on top and was $10 a Bottle. Just Curious.
