My wife had ceramic coat done on our cars. Hers came out good while mine looks like shitpaste. Do the original paint job or ceramic used have anything to do with it?
Yes. If we apply it poorly it turns out poorly. Also, the product may have been different. Really it was more likely the detailer going a rushed job or perhaps not knowing how to apply it “professionally” 😂
Those bubbles aren’t very tight That new $30/bottle cerakote ceramic looks a lot better than whatever this is at least in terms of hydrophobic properties
@diydetailofficial thank you. So it's kinda like a layer of paint the ceramic coating? And will it break down/ wash off after so many washes? Or years? ..thxs again
@@ScolarshipBoy1984depends on the quality you get. It can last years and years or just a few and how you wash the car. If you never wash it with a ceramic coating, the dirt etc. will break down the ceramic coating prematurely. Oh and NEVER go through a car wash once you do get a ceramic coating. Itll rip up the coating. Only touchless if you do Touchless though you have to make sure the pH level of the chemicals isn’t too strong or it can ruin the coating as well. Basically. Clean it yourself once a week if you decide to get a ceramic coating.
@aquifer98 thank you ..have you done this yourself the coating? Or its best to pay a shop? I rather do it myself but will it be same I can study the youtibe videos I mean I'll save alot of money ..how much you paid for your? Or you did it yourself? Thxs again
@@ScolarshipBoy1984 tbh I’ve never done it at all. I am considering it myself. But I’ve been looking up how to take care of ceramic coatings and articles about it and how it works. If you’ve never done it before and you have the money probably a shop but if you want a project for yourself and have the time and patience to learn…go for it I’d say. But shops will do a much cleaner and better job as there’s tons and tons of prep work involved involving tons of chemicals
Looks like the ceramic coated side will be getting tonnes more water spots than the non-coated side. What is the actual benefit thst ceramic coatings provide that make them worth dealing with those water spots?
Waterspots happen on uncoated cars as well. Rain does not cause water spots. Coatings have many benefits, chemical resistance, extended life of the paint, easier maintenance, higher resale value are some of them.
@@ronf28 there are higher level ones that last for years/semi-permanent, and most on avg last 2-3yrs. way longer than wax and makes maintenance super easy
in the case of snow, it's not so much beading that you're looking for with a coating as it is the panel self cleaning and having less snow on your paint during winter:)
@@diydetailofficial Tesla mechanic for 7 years now, all our ceramic coated cars come back within 2-5 years because they have water damage. At a ratio of 5:1 ceramics:normal. You are scamming people. Bigger water bead sizes lead to less water makes and pooling, as the aerodynamics help push off bigger puddles of water. Stop spreading misinformation, you are a horrible person if you continue to do this
@@diydetailofficial I have not used a ceramic coating yet. My car is 20 years old and the paint is severely faded at this point. Never garaged and parked in the heat and sand storms of the Mojave Desert. However, I've used McGuires carnauba wax on the car roughly every 2-4 weeks for the life of the car so far. Never buffed the car and only clay barred the car 2 times. The paint held up very well for the first 18 years despite the weather conditions I subjected it to. At 18 years old, the car looked like it was new. Most people never believed me when I told them I like it sit through sand storms with wind gusts of 30+ MPH. The paint truly looked far better than cars half its age at 18 years old. However, looks are deceiving so some extent. The clear coat was being baked from the sun, blasted by the sand and even gentle washing with good car care products had its effect over time. Nevertheless, I give a lot of credit to the wax for doing an outstanding job for so many years. Unfortunately after the 18th year, wax is doing little to protect the car anymore. The clear coat is definitely gone on the hood, roof and plastic components (bumpers, mirror caps, door handles, etc). Later this year I hope to garage the car, disassemble it, refresh everything under the hood and under carriage and if all of that works out, I'll get the car repainted. At that point I'll make a decision on PPF/ceramic coating and the car will be kept in a garage from that point, forward. I appreciate your reply.
Armorall ceramic coating wash soap boom one wash and you car is good for months yeah its that simple one regular wash that is all goodbye btw the soap is the green 🧼 color
@@jjrealestategthose aren’t called water spots. The water is beading as intended and will trickle down easier than the left side after a short time of driving. It will dry easier too with a blow dryer or towel. Depending on the quality of the coat or number of layers, you will see even less water on the surface than here.
A PPF is thousands of dollars and has to be professionally installed. Even the highest-end ceramic coating is only a few hundred and you can do it yourself. I think the latter is the smarter choice.
I thought the ceramic coating was supposed to scare off all the water. There's still water where the ceramic coating was. I thought I was supposed to keep your car dry.
Me with every single car I look at! No matter where I am, who I’m with and if I have sun glasses on, I will even tilt my head down to see over the top of my shades to check out paint work haha. You either have the detailing bug or you don’t. I caught the detailing disease about 3 years ago and it’s all think about even in my sleep 😂 Should probably start my own detailing business and sell my insurance company!

Make full you tube vedio plz.
been using ceramic couple yrs now and its very good. was skeptical at first but turns out its pretty awesome.
have you tried Ceramic Gloss as a drying aid on your maintenance washes? It's another excellent product :)
@@diydetailofficial I'll have to give that a try, thanks!!

My wife had ceramic coat done on our cars. Hers came out good while mine looks like shitpaste. Do the original paint job or ceramic used have anything to do with it?
The person applying it has the most effect.
Yes it does have an effect on it...
Yes. If we apply it poorly it turns out poorly. Also, the product may have been different.
Really it was more likely the detailer going a rushed job or perhaps not knowing how to apply it “professionally” 😂
More water bead clinging on means more water spots when the sun dried it?
Yes
Gotta get a coating that sheets ie. Carpro finest
@@diydetailofficial So then what's the point of a ceramic coating?
Does it protects the paint form scratches and ageing?
And please let me. Know how to remove this coat over a period?
No scratch protection, but prevents fading.
Removed with polishing.
th-cam.com/video/_gpH27QnxN8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Qcw5GEXIReqlkIPZ
It does prevent small scratches
Would love to see an update after a year or so to see if it is still doing something or if its just washed off
Here it is

He posted a fake video in response 😂
Excited to try out the coating! Is the coating SiO2, SiC?
Si02.
New to this. Was the ceramic on the left or right?
On the right where the water is beading is where the coating is.
Good wax does same, so what’s the difference?
Wax lasts a few months, a coating will last many years.
Those bubbles aren’t very tight
That new $30/bottle cerakote ceramic looks a lot better than whatever this is at least in terms of hydrophobic properties
It’s all perspective
Cerakote ceramic isn’t very good. I like their plastic protection though.
does this protect from sun damage? i park my car outside in the sun while im at work
Yes
Actually, I cannot tell which side is which. I see the difference in the back. But which side is the ceramic side?
Where there is ceramic coating, the water is beading.
Where he points the camera and says we didnt put ceramic coating here ya dmb cnt
Can I use ceramic coating on glass?
Yes
Whats the point of ceramic coating? I dint see any importsnce for the water to drop then be still? Or am i missing somethhing
Ceramic coatings provide strong chemical protection, help in making the paint self cleaning when it rains, and makes it easier to clean.

Ceramic coating is better than PPF?
Very different. Ideally PPF covered with coating

Waterspots happen on uncoated cars as well. Rain does not cause water spots. Coatings have many benefits, chemical resistance, extended life of the paint, easier maintenance, higher resale value are some of them.
Same thing happens with basic wax
But wax will not do it for long
@@diydetailofficialhow does ceramic compare yo nufinish etc
@@diydetailofficialhow long does ceramic lasts?
@@ronf28 there are higher level ones that last for years/semi-permanent, and most on avg last 2-3yrs. way longer than wax and makes maintenance super easy
Will a sealant such as quick beads provide similar protection? So long as I don't mind applying it every couple months?
Yes, it will provide good protection.
How long does the coating lasts on the body?
Many years
I don’t know which side is which
Look on the trunk lid, where the water is beading (right side) is where it’s coated
In Florida you’ll be sorry if you don’t do this in a few years
Yes
is this at Dixie tech?
No in the DIY Detail garage
Wax does that too. What's the advantage.
The DIY Detail Ceramic Coating will last for years , not months.
@@diydetailofficial Sweet. How's application times say for a car with perfect paint?
20-30 minutes. Here’s a play list that goes through the installation in depth.

doesn’t really seem to be beading up

There is more water staining on then ceramic side - more water clinging
Actually the opposite, on the coated side it’s gathered up in beads, on the non coated side it’s a full sheet of water

Any recommended toppers for quartz ceramic coat
DIY Detail Quick Beads or DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss
More water on the coating
The side with the coating has beads, the non coated side has a sheet of water.
I don't think you know what a sheet of water is guy. @diydetailofficial
Oh one of the most satisfying thing about cremic coating is the look you get when it rains oh💦
Yes
Why is ceramic coating better than carnauba wax?
A wax lasts a maximum of 3 months, a coating will last years. A coating provides much better chemical resistance.

Can you wax after ceramic coating?
Yep just wait a week to wash the car and you can wax as desired after that 😀
@@diydetailofficial Wow, that's a lot of protection!
Question, will that water dry out and stain? Needing another wash?
The car needs to be washed.
We need more proof lol 🤣 just kidding, ceramic is what we needed 60 years ago but we at least have it today 🙏
Agreed!
What part of utah ?! Plus soap is also based in utah!
Heber area
@@diydetailofficial awesome I’m up in Layton, wanting to start my detailing services . Been looking at different companies and products.
You might be proving that ceramic coating makes water on the surface behave differently, but that’s all.
Thank you

Coatings are not scratch proof.

Yes
Just get ppf, you’re welcome
PPF is good, but still requires a ceramic coating
A PPF is thousands of dollars and has to be professionally installed. Even the highest-end ceramic coating is only a few hundred and you can do it yourself. I think the latter is the smarter choice.
I can't tell any difference
At the end of the video the 2 sides of the trunk are very apparent
I thought the ceramic coating was supposed to scare off all the water. There's still water where the ceramic coating was. I thought I was supposed to keep your car dry.
Look a little closer, on the non coated side the panel is flooded with water, on the right side the water is beading.
My question is how many people in a day would actually take that deep of a look at that car or any other car, seriously
You might be surprised
Me, pretty much every single time I walk up to my car lol
Me with every single car I look at! No matter where I am, who I’m with and if I have sun glasses on, I will even tilt my head down to see over the top of my shades to check out paint work haha.

Ceramic coating is a scam cause scotty said so
Some are actually. The ones you see advertised as miracle products that you never need to wash your car again, I agree with Scotty
You'd see the same thing with a cheap wax job... so.. NOT a good demonstration
Not after 6 months and 70+ car washes
This is "why" they work? That makes no sense.
They keep your car cleaner because of the beading
Looks like wax
Wax beads as well, but doesn’t provide chemical protection nor durability
Lol
Thank you
It's a SNAKE OIL business, period.
Once you try a good ceramic your opinion may change.
Sad I can kick that Fiat over and I use a wheelchair…!
?
Turtle wax.
?
@@diydetailofficial it’s a car detailing products and carwash soap company
Waste of $$$
Why
The real waste of money is getting the car repainted after the clear coat starts failing from years of no protection
Ceramics work- detailer installed ceramics are a scam
Why?
Well only car ppl will notice this
We are trying to make more people into car people.
