I guess is like when you drop a hot glass into cold water and it shatters: different parts of the glass are expanding at different rates which builds up stresses which eventually lead to a break.
@@sutapadey5274 I’ve seen this, but I mean by the pattern difference. Force vs temperature. See how he broken it in this video, the glass was in waves, in the link the glass is sharper and more line segments.
I have been a professional car detailer in the past. I worked on import cars. BMW, Mercedes, Lotus, Ferrari etc. I know how to use a high speed buffer. Most scratches are actually in the clear coat. That is why the high speed buffer can heat up the clear coat and the scratches are gone. When the scratch is deep and to the paint then you can't remove the scratch. With the ceramic coating that is just an extra layer of protection. ceramic coating might be thicker but it is like using a high quality wax.
Rep for a coating company here, from our side it is great to see videos like these as well. The better informed the customer is, the better they can weigh the choices for their car. Especially because of the cost of labour to get a coating done professionally. There are so many myths about, and some of the claims that we see are pretty insane. i.e. the fire proofing, the heavy acid resistance. Why sell people on a lie, instead of just a good product?

If the coating was a hard-baked layer of ceramic similar to powdercoating, then sure, I'd believe the myths. But clearly it's not. Another question; if the ceramic coating is 'harder' than the clearcoat, will repeated application actually damage the clearcoat?
@@joshyoung1440 Ceramic needs to be baked though? You can't just let it harden in the air.. similar to porcelain, or the ceramic coatings on exhausts for example. Unless you bake it, it's no stronger than dry mud. That led me to assume that the stuff mentioned here has baked ceramic particles in it, and only the binding agent needs to harden after application.
@@joshyoung1440 The materials get quite hard once they dry, the way that I usually put it is that you are creating a solid mineral layer over the surface of your car. Most nowadays are 9H, but there are some that go up to 10H. My recommendation though is to always check with the 10H claim, because some are legit (and they will usually have documentation to back it up), and others have used it in the past as a scam to sell inferior products.
@@Renzsu You are correct here. Professional grade ceramic coatings do need to be baked to get the full effect. Usually it's done under specialist UV lamps, and the room needs to be kept pretty sterile to avoid dust and other material from contaminating it. The type that AL used is a DIY kit, which is still pretty good. But they often do not harden quite as well due to a lack of baking. The usual curing period is at least 24 hours to get the basic hardening, but for the reaction to complete it takes about 2 weeks.
maybe the self healing look alike effect just because of the layer gives us a slightly light realigning effect, just like what oil or clear tape did on a frosted glass, idk.. 2:33 "and my glass just broke" caught me off guard.. XD
Does the ceramic coating works on any surfaces? If it does, then applying it to things that you don't want dirty would greatly help. Example, if applied to a kitchen knife, the cleaning would be easy and food might not stick to the knife as much. It might also makes for a great killer weapon since the blood would fly off with a single swing in the air like in the movies.
I have read a few comments about what some people are saying that no ceramic is present in a ceramic coating. "Ceramic" is a general term for anything inorganic..like sand or the lenses of your glasses, which aren't glass, by the way. They can rightfully be called ceramic coatings. Most coatings contain silicon dioxide. Others contain silicon carbide which is much more durable than silicon dioxide. There is no petroleum or silicon present. They are legitimate sacrificial layers that make your paint easier to clean and stop oxidation.
That ceramic coating is actually pretty good. It lasts about 10 months on areas like bumpers that get scrubbed regularly for bug removal. Does make the bug splats easier to remove, too. Regular wax only lasts a month or two around here with the harsh elements
I'd like to see some of these tests done with the original ceramic coatings that were produced. The newer versions of ceramics are more of a car wax than a true ceramic coating.
Why would anyone wanna drive around with an exterior that is so delicate while being subjected to such debris and abuse by the environment? It's like wearing a tuxedo while mountain climbing and freaking out over it getting dirty. It's a car...it has one job. To get you from point A to B. Coat it with rhino liner and you will never have to maintain it again. Just wash every few months. We are too obsessed with appearance.
That would only depend on how deep the scratches are. If they are below the paint then yes you'd have to have it repainted. But if it is only the ceramic coating or clear coat then it could effectively be buffed out and a ceramic coat applied.
There are certain materials that will do that to some extent, so that shallow scratches will fade within a few days. But those are usually soft plastic-like materials, while ceramic is very hard and brittle. Expecting ceramic to "self heal" is nonsense.
Love the videos I really enjoy the shorts too. Just finished watching the safety third podcast and was wondering if you knew you were jokingly challenged to a boxing match by Backyard Scientist?
Consider a container which contains a liquid . we put a fine tube in it such that it does not touch the base of the container . the liquid will rise to a height h in the tube .Can you please make a video explaining why does a liquid not overflow if a capillarity is cut from below the height it originally rose. In my book it's written that the meniscus adjusts it's radius of curvature. But what if we use a liquid at its critical temperature or we can use really pure water so that the surface tension is zero and no meniscus is formed in the capillarity . Then the radius of curvature is already maximum. Then what if we cut the capillarity tube from below the height the liquid originally rose. Will it overflow. In my book it's written that it will never overflow but it has not discussed a condition when surface tension is zero.
It's just you and a minority of people. He makes his videos short and descriptive enough for you to be able and watch it entirely as well as understand something.
Does a hydrophobic coating make a small sytrofoam plane soar trough water like trough air? ( Coat one of thoes sytrofoam gliders in hydrophobic powder/gel and throw it underwatee)
Great video, for future reference the right and left of a car is always as you are sitting in the seat, right is always the passenger and left is always drivers side.
There are no advantages of these so called "ceramic coatings" compared to regular wax or silicone oil coatings. Also think about it some more: Ceramics are usually polar or even ionic compounds made out of metal cations and some sort of non-metal anions (most common: Oxide, Nitride) - why should such a compound be hydrophobic in the first place if it really was a ceramic? I call snakeoil, especially when it comes to the naming and actual ingredients of these coatings.
@@joshyoung1440 Fixed spelling. English is not my main language. Anyhow, do you have some actual criticism on the subject or are you just here to nitpick?

No, they need to be compounded and polished out then ceramic coating reapplied. There are some polishes for ceramic coating for very light scratches
