Shop teacher , your funny , I never had a cool shop teacher but , what did I know , about cool ,then or now ha ha , humour with a product is a definite plus I agree 100%
The Dad call had me laughing hard! "How much did cost "? Lmao 🤣. Reminds me of a conversation with my Dad, "well ain't that fucking special "is what he would say. Lol. Love you Dad!
Splitting a case, welding cranks, stabbing cams, building heads...no problem. BUT...ceramic coating scares the living shift out of me. Had a bad experience with a miracle quickie "polymer" shine 'em up product once. Never got over it.
So I just got a part from J&p cycles and instantly the two bolts broke off so I spent 2 hours making it work since I’ve waited since April for͏ said part
I had my Burgundy Velvet Lincoln Nautilus ceramic coated about 7 months ago. It is gorgeous. Took my Amber Whiskey Freewheeler to just get it detailed in early December. They called me & told me that they were ceramic coating a car and had some leftover and did all the painted areas of my trike. Um, I didn't ask for that and don't have the money to pay for it. No, it's a courtesy as you're a great customer. Went to pick up my trike and OMG it was just amazing. There was so much depth to the paint. People stare at my trike wherever I ride it.
The real Ceramic coating thst you apply like your doing or the professional type either one is amazing for harleys i cant think of anything it goes better with just because it protects the paint so well❤😊
I just use Adam’s spray ceramic. spray it down and use a little leaf blower and it’s done. The chrome wheels tho have a tending too after about 2 months.They have a paste kind of ceramic that’s even harder but haven’t invested in it yet. Definitely worth the buy for a bike.
I have used this Product with great results! Easiest application ever attempted. Just don't let this sit on the pieces for too long...causes tons of issues. Apply up/down & left/right(no circles). Let sit for 1-3 min ONLY! Wipe with soft cloth and BAM!!!!
Had my truck ceramic coated over a year ago,like you said it is expensive. But I’m happy with the results. I think I will I get a kit and do my bike myself. Nice new truck. 👍🏽
You can do it. I did my 2014 Vulcan Vaquero. The candy orange paint looks immaculate after I did the ceramic coat. Bugs clean off easier as well. I still need to do the Road Glide. You are going to want to clay the paint down to get any contaminants off first. I also machine polished any swirl marks off the paint first. By the way IPA spray is literally Isopropyl Alcohol mixed with distilled water. You can make it yourself.
One day you might buy a REAL truck! If you can't dodge it, RAM it! :-D I have a RAM 3500 dually with the HO diesel and it pulls my 20k lb fifth wheel toyhauler like it isn't even there!
Just ran across your channel today and subscribed really liked your video on what not to do at Sturgis and how not to get your asked kicked in a biker bar will be going through channel great info
I printed the first ceramic engine back in the 70's. It was a government contract. Now, I'm seeing this. Ceramics can handle very high Temps and wear. Especially, cylinders. I use a cup from Nyquil for adding measured fluids.
lmao, I love the really dont wash my bikes comment. I literally just yesterday hit the bike with the pressure washer yesterday. first time in like 3 years.
Truthfully, I think ceramic coatings ( Si02) are slightly overrated. It's far more important to prep the surface (paint) by polishing to a high gloss and using a Si02 sealant like Technicians Choice Ceramic spray or P&S Beadmaker. Having said all that, I have used ceramic coatings on my Harley, BMW and Mercedes. Be prepared, ceramic coatings don't last forever and won't protect against scratches or stone chips.
I'm listening to you read the directions, they definitely knew who they were sending to! Most definitively to "the Professional Monkey". I'm actually shocked. I've looked at a few products, not at all impressive. Thanks for reviewing this.
I had mine ceramic coated by our paint and body guy 2 weeks after I bought my bike. You will want to make sure your paint is flawless before you do it. It will lock in any swirls, dust, scratches, etc. Anyhow… it makes wiping or washing so much faster. And you won’t need to wax. Stuff I got was $350 and last 5 years.
I used Avalon King on my Forester when I bought it new a little over 2 years ago and it is still going strong. I used it on both of my bikes as well and it is great for ease of cleanup and keeping it shiny and clean. My MT-07 with the cyan wheels is a nightmare to keep clean but after the ceramic coating they clean up with just clear water. I also recommend using their booster as well just to add more protection in an easy way.
Can I make an appointment to have Professional Monkey ceramic coat my Revival? 😂Very cool of them to hook you up and this is something I hope to do in the future. Have a blast in Sturgis! Eric
FYI, had similar boot scratch in my rear fender, auto body buddy polished it out easily...said same thing, thick clear coat to work with...good luck...
@ 9:15 .. IPA is Isopropyl alcohol (wood alcohol) not drinkable , causes blindness , used by the aircraft industry and that guy that wraps your car. It's super for removing road grime fingerprints etc. Hey I was always under the impression Prius drivers were SMARTER than the average Joe. I know we are hated by Truckers and Bikers , Avalon King does have a great sense of humor 🙃
Good choice I am a big ford fan the super dutys I haul vics for a living and I have really been liking the gmc Denali AT4 beautiful truck good choice take care
Not hard at all, but you need to know how to prepare your paint surface. Their car shampoos and prep spray are good, but you need to polish your paint before you apply the ceramic. I do quite alot of ceramic coatings. It's actually a good coating and exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended.
@@derekdennis1389 I'd recommend Koch Chemie 6.01, Sonax Perfect Finish, Sonax 6-4, 3D One, or TurtleWax One and Done. Use with a dual action polisher and start with either a Buff and Shine URO Fiber Pad, Yellow Rupes Pad, White Lake Country Pad or Orange Lake Country Pad. Once you complete the polish portion use a prep spray such as Mothers CMX Prep Spray, Ethos Detox, or Gyeon Prep.
My nieces hubby had a detailing company and they did my 16 SGP, The stuff is bitchenI I don't get half the bugs sticking to is as there used to be. If the bike sits for a week or so the dust doesn't even stick to it. I just stray it down with water and blow it off and looks like it just came out of the showroom!
With the side note. I got a new truck 2 years ago after keeping my old truck 16 years. I still have to convince myself I made the right decision. It’s just a ford 150 stx. But the price of these things is ridiculous lol
Going to give it a shot on my bike. Just a side note, have a split AC unit installed in your garage. We did ours anD OMG it made life so much better. Here in the North we use more heat than AC but its awesome working out there now.
This is really cool. I have paid to have this professionally done to my truck, but after seeing this video, I think I will give it a try on the bike. Will miss you guys in Sturgis this year, but have a piece of that brick oven pizza at bikini beach for me.
It doesn't harden that fast, but by the time you do a whole car I would say you will have "used up" a cloth. You get 4 so you'll have enough to use the whole bottle.
I think adding additional drops to the applicator keeps it soft. The cloth applicator stays soft for the entire vehicle. Once you let the cloth dry it will get stiff. Application is pretty quick. You MUST wipe off the haze almost immediately. If it dries too long you will have a hard time getting the haze off.
Might have to give the stuff a shot! Even though it kinda made me cringe a little that you didn't do a full paint correction before hand! I'm assuming that's why cars cost so much to get coated because they should be doing a full paint correction on the vehicle before hand!
Enjoy the channel even though I’ve converted to a BMW rider after 40 years on a Harley. Thanks for info on the coating, been curious about how hard it was to apply. Have a great trip to Sturgis.
Yo Monkey Man, I’m with you about products that have personality, I’ll most likely buy it even if I don’t need it. Someone I know will prolly need it at sometime or another. Great vid as usual and I’m going over to get product with a note to say your vid was the first of 2 reason for my purchase of their product. 4 bikes. 1 old Chevy Shortbox with 396 big block. A diesel Quad and highway tractor. Might need more than 1 Ceramic Kit. Lol thanks my Fave Monkeys
Mr. Monkey....You're not the only one that can't stop making poor financial decisions. Congrats on the new truck. I just added another Harley to the collection. That makes 3. I bought a Road King to take to Sturgis. We hope to see you there.
Hello Professional Monkey, I'd like to ask you a question. I plan on putting some patches on my jacket. A few flashes on the chest region and a winged cross on the back with the words "Godspeed". I just found out from "Demonsrow" that wearing a patch that says "Nomad" should be avoided. However he was referring to a large rocker style patch. I intend on wearing a small flash style patch over my heart because I personally like the name "Nomad". For various reasons I move around a lot so in essence I am a Nomad, just not in a club fashion. So I was curious if wearing a "Nomad" flash would be frowned upon. Demonsrow also noted that nothing about biker culture should be taken lightly which makes me wonder if I should avoid funny patches like one that says "These are my church clothes." Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this message.
I would be interested in how it turned out? I suspect badly but it will not last and you can do it again. Your prep work was the major issue, along with cheap (just saying) product. No polish, no claying or sanding, no paint correction. anyway, really enjoy your channel.
"no a big house with a nice yard" "dammit!!" lmao. if you like making bad decisions why didnt you get a Freightliner M2 106 with a 8.9L Cummins so you could then get a 40 Ft or so 5th wheel toy hauler.... you could even get a M2 that has alligator seats 👍👍😁. the 1 ton should haul a lot better with all that weight. last time you hinted that it was a bit on the sketchy side going to Sturgis. why didnt you get a dually ? too wide ? the stuff sounds good. the instructions is hilarious lol. you havent been making vids because you have been running around on your 131 havent you? you just too good for us now .. lol good vid
Wax on wax off you are now ready for the All Valley Karate Championsbip!
Would like for the rain and storms would go back North up to Kroger country!

Hey during the 131 install video did you say that Advanblack is coming out with a road warrior/t-sport style fairing. I may be in the market soon.
It's getting close!
That is awesome thanks for the info

I wonder if that would take out the 3 scratches in my clear on hard candy black and gold flake. Luckily it's on my rear fender.

Love the Directions and results looks good
Wow
It's simple I applied it on my Ultra.
What keeps the stuff from getting rock hard on the applicator?
Sounds like you need a new cloth and sponge for every panel.
It doesn't harden that fast, but by the time you do a whole car I would say you will have "used up" a cloth. You get 4 so you'll have enough to use the whole bottle.
I think adding additional drops to the applicator keeps it soft. The cloth applicator stays soft for the entire vehicle. Once you let the cloth dry it will get stiff. Application is pretty quick.

Monkey called a "Cowboy Cadillac". BS! Monkey's new truck is a freaking Cowboy Pimp Mobile!!! Monkey gonna be pimpin' his way to Sturgis.
125 bucks is what it cost me to order the stuff to do my two bikes
Thanks Mate love your work.
Need to buy it. But I'm in Australia.
Will they ship overseas??
We have a shipping depot in Victoria Stephen.
I like how you have your tour pack on the wall! How did you do that? Is that just a quick release mounted to the wall? Thanks for letting me know!
Hi! I got that off Amazon, that one is gone for some reason but there are others on there. Just look for the ones that have the best ratings...
I wonder... Do you use Power Commander??? It didn't work on my Aprilia. I guess due to ECU TPS. I know a few HD use. 🙏☀️🙏

What model do you have. Are you more satisfied with it?
Ps you should come up here to your home town area and I'll let you try that out on my ultra, we can put it to the real test lol
"Am I qualified to do this?" What a question, never stopped us before. 🙂
Great share Fam. Congrats on the new truck. 🤙🏾🔥
You have too many fingers to be a shop teacher.
First thing I thought also..lol
hail always happens in the black hills.
The expression you give looking at the ceramic bottle. Wondering if there’s alcohol in it.
So did you get a dually aka (nal-gonna) or slim jim single wheel.
Nice to here you got rid of the Ford and got a GMC
I love the Gorgio Armani chrome bottle...lol Seriously this a funny video! Do you have any idea how long it might last?
