The uncoated side looked “nicer” because the water helps fill in the very little scratches and defects of the paint, making it look extremely smooth. Now if this were done on a windshield, clarity becomes an issue. If not ceramic coated, the water will cling onto the windshield, causing an extremely blurry view. If it was ceramic coated, the water becomes droplets, allowing for much better visibility through the windshield. Also helps with wiper blade longevity since you won’t need them cycling as much as before.
Once you do drive the car. Say it rained the water and anything else that landed on the car will come off easier, hence thats why when a car is ceramic coated its easier to wash and keep maintained over all
Most people dont understand that the coated side will get better as soon as u start driving your car since all the water drops will fall down off the car and the uncoated side will look stained and dirty
Lmaoo to all the people that think the uncoated side looks better. Those be the same people that get happy when their car that has no clear coat left gets rained on. Oh lOoK MY CaR LOokS New AGaiN 😂😂😂
@santydagr8 the main thing ceramic coating does it make it easier to clean and maintain your car during washes and such. Another thing to keep in mind is that these true ceramic coatings(the ones in the tiny bottle that are pricy) also last a long time(3-5 years for some) and tend to be tougher than your clear coat sometimes. Plus if you put a ceramic coating on your windows it will help for better clarity during rainy weather by making it so the water would bead up and glide right off. This in turn will also make it so your wiper blades won't have to be used as often. Sorry about posting the wall of text just got carried away.
I can see the difference in shine which is a perk of a ceramic coating. But it sheets the soap nicely, and that sheeting of the water is very fast whereas the driver's side pools. For me its a no brainer the coating is the best way to go! And worst case after 1 hour you're safe which is no time at all
Ivan I heard with ceramic coatings you have to go edge to edge without lifting applicator. If you lift applicator with coating in the middle of the panel you will get a high spot?
Many things can cause high spots. I prefer to apply in a circular motion , this dramatically reduces high spots. With the DIY Detail Ceramic Coating if you get a high spot when applying, they will easily be taken care of when you use your leveling towel.
its like waxing your car but eith extra care. all the high spots are you know.. high from the surface and will be taken care of by your towel. i suggest you paid profesionals to do it if you have the money and it is not your beater car because it is faster and better.
Yup and all of those water drops will leave water drop in to the finish if you don’t dry it off but the unfinished part of the hood will dry off with no water drops drying in to the finish.
The uncoated section thé water is pooling on the surface, the coated side the majority of the water is gone, leaving a few beads of water on the surface.
On the uncoated side the water is sitting on the surface, on the coated side you see beads of water on the surface. Once dried, the left side looks much better.
Dude... What youre seeing is the coating working and not allowing the water with contaminants embed into/onto your paint. Brake dust legitimately comes off my rims with just a hose because of my professionally installed ceramic coating
ceramic coating your car is definitely worth it imo if you’re a car guy and plan to keep your car as clean as possible and maintain it very well. just don’t go to this guy lol
yeah why is our ceramic sealant having this same effect .. it cost 20$ not 2000$ 😆 true coatings are luxury not a necessity in terms of protection.. its to much effort and cost and time vs these new spray coatings that give 4 to 6 months protection. basically obsoleted real ceramics because you can apply in a couple min. not 2 days of prep and another to cure.
Thank you. Our ceramic coatings don’t require 2 days to prep, and cure in an hour. While DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss is excellent, it doesn’t provide the same chemical resistance and protection as a true ceramic coating does.
@diydetailofficial there are many spray sealants that do provide incredible chemical resistance. not as good as true coating but closer. and to most is not worth the money or time and prep to do a true coating. especially if you're maintaining your car regularly any good spray wax or sealant is by far fastest way to protect. so that is the way to go

I'm sorry help me understand. I thought the uncoated side looked nicer.
Honestly curious.
The problem with waxing, coating it leaves water droplets which SUCKS because if you dont wipe properly, it leaves water marks
In real like there’s a good difference, the camera doesn’t always pick it up.

Correct
@@diydetailofficial but you decided to...NOT show that...interesting tactic.
To be honest, the uncoated side looks shiner after the wash
It’s covered in standing water, the coated side is almost dry.
For anyone without eyes. The uncoated side looked better because there was standing water so it looks shiny, left side nearly dry.
Correct
i felt the same
@@diydetailofficial what? then what's the use of coating?
@@madhousenetwork7765To shed dirt and water more effectively
Lmaoo to all the people that think the uncoated side looks better. Those be the same people that get happy when their car that has no clear coat left gets rained on. Oh lOoK MY CaR LOokS New AGaiN 😂😂😂
We all see art differently as well
To be fair. The uncoated side looks deeper and shinier
Because it’s covered in water, the coated side isn’t holding onto the water.
@@diydetailofficialdoes the reason really matter?

@@santydagr8yea it does matter, the second it dries the coated side looks 10x better
So the coated side is almost hydrophobic? It seems like its not getting soaked. The right side is probably very wet. Can you dry after to show us
Here’s a longer version
The FINAL ceramic coating test!
th-cam.com/video/_gpH27QnxN8/w-d-xo.html
Just because the uncoated side catches a better reflection does not mean it looks better
It looks better in the video because the uncoated side is flooded with water, the coated side is beading.
From an auto detailers perspective this video does no justice. It's tough to video record the actual difference. Maybe extra lightning ?
fair enough, it's an older video, we keep trying to improve! thank you for watching and for the feedback:)
I can see the difference in shine which is a perk of a ceramic coating. But it sheets the soap nicely, and that sheeting of the water is very fast whereas the driver's side pools.
For me its a no brainer the coating is the best way to go! And worst case after 1 hour you're safe which is no time at all
Thank you
@@diydetailofficial thank you!
You're making detailing fun with professional quality but very simplistic.
Happy detailing and stay warm
Thank you.
Difference is negligible at best. Ceramic coating is no better than a foid wax
Difference is a coating lasts for years, not just weeks
I think you mirrored the video while editing.
No, look at the steering wheel

@@MRworldEtIkA Um no I can detail my own vehicles
I have such good coating on my car that sometimes the soap starts to bead and run off the car lol
Yes
Why is it that the uncoated looks better than the coated
The uncoated the water is sitting on the surface, on the coated side the water is beading. Once dry the coated side is dramatically better.
bottom line, the uncoated side looks better WET, the coated side, always looks wet, :)
Thank you.
Baddie + funny = Jennifer
Lol
Does the coated side look less faded/dirty when it fully dries?
yes it usually will look a lot cleaner
It looked worse on the coated side?
Thank you.
Yup and all of those water drops will leave water drop in to the finish if you don’t dry it off but the unfinished part of the hood will dry off with no water drops drying in to the finish.
my question is: what is better? ceramic coating or the new ceramic spray thing
A coating gives better chemical resistance , both will give you gloss and water beading.
Saw Ryobi and others, make a “electrostatic” sprayer. Will this work or old school pumps better for the initial surfactant treatment? Thanks
Those work great.
That’s some great foam at 15:1!
And powerful cleaning.
@@diydetailofficialis it one of your products? Interested
Yes DIY Detail All Clean
Am I wrong, the uncoated portion looks better.
The uncoated section thé water is pooling on the surface, the coated side the majority of the water is gone, leaving a few beads of water on the surface.
Why uncoated side looking wah better?
On the uncoated side the water is sitting on the surface, on the coated side you see beads of water on the surface. Once dried, the left side looks much better.
So with no ceramic coat car looks better. Thanks, you just saved me $$
How so? In person the ceramic side( left) definitely looks and performs better
The water stayed on it making it look nice at first glance. But once it dries up the water marks make it look ugly.
@@diydetailofficial does not look like that on the video.
Dude... What youre seeing is the coating working and not allowing the water with contaminants embed into/onto your paint.

How long it last long?
Our coatings are rated at 3, 5 and 8 years: th-cam.com/video/5St7YxOJANY/w-d-xo.html
cant see much with the vertical video
Look for the water beading behavior on the left side:)

Uncoated looks better 😊
Why?
@@diydetailofficialthat’s not his mistake 😅
Anything will be better than nothing. Trying to justify ceramic over a decent wax regime.
A ceramic lasts longer, and more importantly provides significantly more protection.
Bro got serious issues with maruti😂
what do you mean
TH-cam shorts always bring out the most slow people😂ceramic coating > not coated
Ceramic coatings are great 😊
Any wax would do that
A non abrasive wax, yes
I though ceramic coating were meant to make the water slip out
It does
@@diydetailofficial well, the video prooved the opposite
👍👍👍👍👍
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
videos are intended to be helpful but honestly difficult to discern
The coated side has water beading and is almost dry after rinsing, other side is flooded with water.
You mean the opposite. Coating on Driver side not passenger side. No?
On your screen the coating is on the left side of the hood.
@@diydetailofficial but the right side looks cleaner no ?
Wrong side labelling 😂
what do you mean
Yea that didn’t look real good guys..
😮
Why
Kind of a bad example bro
Why
@@diydetailofficial Because it looks better on untreated side lol
Uncoated is better
Why?
You got the P/S and D/S mixed up, looks good though🤙
@@diydetailofficial the water falls off vs the passenger side
Uncoated looks better
Ceramic coating only lasts one month for daily driven cars... 🤢🤢🤢
Why do you think that. The Fiat is now 6 months in, over 50 passes through a brush car wash, and still beads like day 1.
@@diydetailofficial no way man👎👎👎
@@sreyass420 sorry you feel that way, please explain why.
You had some very shitty coating then. Mine lasts 5 years and I drive 60.000 km/ year
Cheating level 😅😅
haha what do you mean
This video straight cap
No cap
That’s a really bad ceramic job.
How so?
False. The car has only been buffed on the passenger side and the drivers side was left alone.
Sorry, but your wrong, it was polished the same everywhere, here’s the videos showing that. th-cam.com/play/PLD8gYJ2cLWeNJwVAqkPn5ZwrT7nGLQn1s.html

In real life, does the uncoated side also look shinier? Since in the video it looks nicer.
Once dry, the coated side works much better.
