- In this video, I will show you what it takes to remove a ceramic or graphene coating from your car, truck or motorcycle. We have to remove them here at our shop for various reasons. Either we are doing a repair on scratches, removing the coating in favor of paint protection film. There could be numerous reasons. This is how it is done.

BTW...the same method works for Graphene Coatings as well.
Great stuff, very much appreciated!!!
Glad that the Shop Manager gave its thumbs up. Thanks for all you do.
That folks is why Artdeshine lists metal oxide coating as professional grade. I’m thankful for all of the knowledge Brian shares so we can coat our cars with his coating. I’m still drooling over the gloss on the Camaro.
"Graphene coatings" are ceramic coatings infused with graphene and still at these days remains as a gimmick for me. Not remarkable differences at all. Cool video btw Bryan most of coatings do surrender at compound and polish.
Well i like to both seal protect & finish off with a wax. So im going with Cquarts CQ UK 3.0, Reload & possibly finishing it off later with Turtle wax ceramic graphene. Some may say stupid, but its just way to fun to wax! 😄
Agreed the graphene is still a work in progress, not yet functioning as described.
The graphene helps stop water spots
I applied the Apex metal oxide coating in artificial light. Looked great but once in cloudy outdoor light there was major streaking on the hood. I used TW Hybrid solutions one and done compound with two separate uro 50-50 pads and a DA polisher which took all the streaking away. Re-applied the coating in outdoor cloudy light and it looks great. Thanks Brian for an excellent vid.
The whole reason I coated my truck (black) was to protect it from ME trying to keep it clean. We all know we have to touch the paint at some point if we want it truly clean and glossy.
Just what this "doctor" ordered! Iv been wondring about this as i just got CarPro's CQ UK 3.0 & Reload kit. Iv also read that a wax like Turtle wax ceramic graphene paste wax goes well with ceramic coatings. Its SIO2 based, like cquarts :) Whats your take on this?
The Flex Wax would be perfectly fine.
The amount of knowledge and information Brian delivers to us is amazing. Thanks for this lesson 🍻
I was going to ask this question. Have you tested the Milwaukee M18 D/A chordless polisher yet?
I have it and the rotary...videos coming.
I truly enjoy this channel... so much knowledge gained watching. Thank you.
Great tips. Thanks Brian for all the work you put in your videos. Greatly appreciated.
If you have time could you show us a maintenance wash for your car please.
Best wishes
Absolutely!
I goofed!!! I used Turtle Wax ceramic graphene on my wife's new car. I botched it good, mainly on the front windshield. HELP!!!!
guys you are awesome i hope your success continue like that greetings from TÜRKİYE 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Thank you!
This was a very good one Brian! Amazing job a lot of things answered for me. Well done buddy thank you so much ❤️👍🏻
My pleasure!
Why is there still a line down the middle of the hood separating the coated side from non coated side?
Honestly, why would you allow somebody to wet sand your
clear coat to remove a ceramic
coating?
Leave your paint alone and stop
applying coats of different crap-
products that protects against
nothing .
Detailers cannot figure out that slapping on layers of waxes , poly
- waxes, and ceramic and graphene
coatings cause swirl marks and
marring when you have to wash
the vehicle.
Correction wears your clear coat
down to a point where it loses
it' s natural shine
Just make pads out of cleaning erasers just use water it will strip coatings or wax without leaving minimal scratches
thanks for a great video, can we remove ceramic coatings from windshield glass?
Thanks Brian. A truly timely video for a lot of people!
I just clayed my coated car with 22PLE clay. That is the only clay I saw online that seemed to be fine enough for coated cars. Claying a coated car is almost unilaterally frowned upon online, so not sure what the right answer is.
We keep plumbers puddy in the cooler for that purpose.
This is a question I have as well.
how to remove Ceramic or the strongest material in the universe Coating from your Car
Can you tell us what Mini polisher ypu are using in this video please?
When a ceramic coating is getting "old" and not working anymore, do you have to do this before putting on another ceramic coating? Someone told me, coatings go bad after a time, while the actual coating is still present on the car, and they have to be removed before apply a new one.
To get the best bond to your clear....remove the old coating.
Thank you very much for your info
If you are doing a touch-up paint operation after a ceramic coating, do you need to do anything special?
Clean out the Valley of the scratch or chip, panel prep, and fill.
great video, i have been considering taking my light coating (1 year) off and putting fresh one on. Knowing that I only need a compound is great. The info/tips you provide are invaluable.. thanks
Go for it!
Great video! Needed this to remove my graphene coating 😂
Great video!
How much micron or millième you need before sand 3000 thank you
Any 5 or 7 year coating...if fresh would need this.
Excellent video Brian! Always a wealth of information!! 👍🇨🇦
Thanks 👍
All that is great however how do I remove Ceramic in the front grooves on my 2022 Shelby the narrow grooved letter have ceramic which needs to be removed to allow decals with sticky backs to stay on. AirBrush Painting came off because of Ceramic. What do I put on Qtip to remove Ceramic?
Subscribed!
I applied Adams spray on ceramic coating with graphene to my SUV 10 months prior, how do you know when to reapply or step up to the more permanent coating? I am still getting great hydrophobic results.
Can the TW One n Done be used to remove a 1 yr ceramic coating...along with using the right pads to remove and polish with the One n Done, as well? Thanks!!
Brian you mentioned plumbers putty does not have abrasives, can pull particles. How does plumbers putty compare to “fine” clay?
stop simping
Hey Brian, I would guess after the light clay and Decon, a nice polish with a Lake country black or white pad and CarPro Essenes Plus, would be the Cherry on top😎👍
Thanks brother! Another awesome video! Short sweet, simple, & educational! By the way a took your suggestion and it worked. Nice contact wash did 5 wash pads in a bucket a little putty, ONR, and coating look's great. All the overspray is gone...
I'm doing dent repair. I've been skipping around these videos and got nothing. I'm fixin to hit it with 320 and hope for the best.
What would happen if you were to apply another ceramic coating onto of the existing coating on the vehicle? Say apply another coating 1 year from the initial coating instillation. Would it bond to the first coating?
Excellent as always, have you used a more horse soap like Carpro Descale for bonded minerals ? I’m going to experiment with it on coated cars, washed in hard water. I’d like to get to them when the mineral contamination is slight, but noticeably dulling the finish and affecting water behavior as well. It has promise of a prep soap to take off or help remove older sealants and waxes but that is another issue.
Great video, very interesting. I was asked by a customer the other day ,but I'm a little reluctant to apply ceramic to a van with vinyl graphics on . Polishing is not a problem but it's the ceramic how it would interact with the vinyl and if the customer would the wanted it removed? Want do you think?
This is why I sticking with Wolfgang’s Estate Fuzion Wax!
Nice
Thank you Brian,
Appreciate your time and value your opinion.
Stay safe and God Bless
I would really love a updated on your favorite top 5 goto da and rotary pads your currently using and what's had changed over the last couple years.
Great video
You are a genius sir, i was not sure how to remove the ceramic coating before painting a spot on a car; Thank you
Another awesome video Brian full of so much useful knowledge.
Brian. Will a wax and grease removal do anything?
Great job 👏. Thanks for the information 👍 😀.
Great advice for coated vehicles using the plumbers putty.
It definitely is. Funny a guy(can’t remember the name) did a TH-cam video about plumbers putty as a clay alternative at least one or two years ago. The comments we so rude and derogatory, felt bad for the guy. I decided to try it, and it worked. Glad you’re willing to shed light on of label uses for other products Brian.
@@corrybowers5078 I saw that video too! He got beat up pretty bad. I will be trying this on my coated vehicles.
@@fireball7671 yes he definitely did….hopefully this will open peoples minds to the possibility other people might have decent ideas. Aren’t we all here to share and learn?? 🤷
@@corrybowers5078 We are indeed. I don't understand all the hate either.
What type of cordless sander are you using?
First !
🏆🥇
Excellent information as always!
Brian, as a hobbyist I just have a 5" 8 mm DA (Maxshine M8s). I don't think it really makes sense for me to invest in a 3" or 1" polisher, but I'd like to be able to get to the nooks and crannies. Are there any products or techniques you could share for getting into those areas if someone doesn't have a detail polisher?
by hand
Delving into grey areas thanks
Greta video. Love the shirt you had on
Always a great video Brian ✊
Have the urofiber 50/50 pads gotten better? I know they had some issues for a while
Just keep them cool if possible...they will be fine.
Good stuff Brian 👍
Great video and shared experience. Thank you Brian
My pleasure!
So washing it or running through a car wash will not remove a coating
The wash process itself will degrade it quicker for it is highly alkaline. remove it...not likely.
Very good info! Thanks Brian!
Any time!
How about old coating that is starting to go?
A medium polish should do.
For your demo, your coating applied panel was a recent coating application. Question. Is the sanding still required after your coating has been on for a number of years? Say, like more towards that 5 yr mark when it would need to be replaced?
Good question!
Do a test panel, after 5 years I'd bet a good polish would do the trick, no sanding necessary
At the 5 year mark...a medium polish would do.
@@apexdetail85 Thanks, Brian!
When did you move to the glass bottles from aluminum?
They nearly doubled in price and are much harder to get. I did not want to pass that price increase onto all of you.
Understandable. Unfortunately a business decision that needed to be made.
Finally got to see your video after opening and closing your video 46 times bypassing the Commercial 😡
My apologies....the bills must be paid. If Iam shooting vids for you all...I am not getting work done in the shop. And everyone bitches about sponsored videos. Wish there was a better way.
my pleasure.
@@apexdetail85 no problem bro we all have to EAT !!! And PAY BILLS 👍🏻
@@redfish3054 and No way in hell will I do the patreon thing...or donations of any kind. I will figure it out eventually.
@@apexdetail85 you have my support I’ll keep watching your videos and liking 👍🏻 bro keep pushing you got this 👍🏻
I have the adams graphene on my gladiator but they didn’t tell me what to do to wash or clean it. Does it need some type of coating?
There's coating topper sprays out there, P&S has one called bead maker, they are made to top ceramic after washing, gloss enhance, more protection.
Adams have a dedicated shampoo that will maintain your coating and GRAPHENE spray sealant or their GRAPHENE detailer to use as a topper to maintain the coating as well, although you could use other toppers from other companies that will work
Thanks guys
Wash with a PH neutral Shampoo.
