I wanted to leave a pinned comment to make a few things clear. First off my intention is to not bash this product because it is not a bad product. My intention is to showcase my experience with the product. I I appreciate cerakote for sending this out to me and letting me try it out. I find it to be a good first version of their coating and I know they will take any feedback to improve it. My testing did have me think that maybe the coating did not get the proper cure time as it was applied outside in mid 60 degree weather with no morning dew.

So for me this does not seem like a variable to consider. I will be applying it to another panel and letting it cure indoors and report any findings if the performance is different. Things I did like about the coating is the ease of application and the slickness. The slickness of any coating will not last forever as it is an attribute that will fade away rather quickly just like Gyeon Mohs Evo or Cquartz SiC. I can still feel it under the mitt to a degree but bare handed it is not as noticeable. When it comes to gloss well that is subjective as a majority of the gloss comes from polishing and with the paint being silver it is hard to gauge that. I have made it clear on many occasions that I prefer a hydrophobic coating with tight water beading rather than sheeting. Sheeting is not for me based on my experience. Like beading, sheeting has pros and cons that I will not get into at the moment. Cerakote gives me Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light vibes where it is not the most hydrophobic coating and tends to sheet more than bead. I would like to see Cerakote improve the water beading aspect if they are claiming this to be a beading type coating. Overall I think it is a good first start to a coating but with a few tweaks it can be better in my experience using it. At the moment this is not the first coating I would reach for. But I would not discourage anyone from trying it as maybe someone likes this type of coating. If you made it to the end of this comment. Thank you and I appreciate all of you.

My car is mainly parked outdoors and where I live it frequently rains so having the water run off the car is very important for me. Would this coating give me that?
If they got 500 washes and still beading , then there must have been an error in their formulation when they mass produced all the kits they sent out. There's no way they would have gone to all this trouble of marketing this as a pro coating without thorough testing. I can get getter durability out of TW Ice Seal n Shine.
This is so disappointing…ordered mine a couple months back and haven’t installed it yet. Now I don’t even want to. A $10 bottle of Seal and Shine has 100 times more durability than this garbage. If you apply CQuartz you can drive through the car wash every day and you wouldn’t lose your beading. This stuff sucks! They knew it sucked and that’s why they’re giving it away! They are probably going to release a product next year that’s going to be what we really want but they had to get rid of this crap first. It’s like they say, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
So far this coating is looking pretty bad. Pan made a video today and the coating took a good size hit after just 1 month. I dont care the price, I'm not taking the time to prep and polish a car to put on a coating that seems to be subpar. Thanks 4 the video
@@danmoskwa7435 That's awesome it's working for you! But if you watch his very first application video AND the video when he was at Cerakote, this 30 day wash definitely took a hit. It was pretty easy to tell, especially on the doors.
I applied this to one side of my car and DIY Detail on the other side. After washing they’re both holding up the same. So Cerakote vs DIY? Time will tell, so far they’re identical.
Meh - I’ll stick with Gyeon or Cquartz. I live in the desert so I was able to put Evo Pure on my Z with zero issues. Looks better than the day I bought the car new 10 years ago 😀
@@Carlos.Rivera I posted the process on IG. Easy to apply and SLICK! Installed on a work truck parked outside and driven daily. California weather is a cheat code though 👀....
Mike, Thank you for sharing this. I to purchased this, I was on the waiting list for sometime to receive it. When it was delivered it was used the following day, excellent results. It has been about 4 months since I applied it and doing very well. Question to you. What kind of cart shelf is that? Where can I purchase it? Again, Thank you for sharing your experience and taking the time to make this, excellent content. Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Kevin
Off topic question.....You mentioned that the clear coat has failed on this car after a repaint 6 years ago. Why do you think that happened considering how well you take care of your paint? Did you polish too often? Was the repaint clear coat too thin?
UV and water based paint. You get what you get when it comes to a repaint. It is never ike the original paint. I have not polished this car in 3 years.
Looking forward to your follow-up videos . Doing my sons car with it in the next week or so. Its kept outdoors so will be interesting to see how it goes. Got 5 bottles of this stuff and zero confidence in it at this point
We applied 1 coat to a Honda HRV 3 weeks ago that sits outside 24/7 driven, on a 1/2 mile long gravel road multiple times a day. I just checked today with a quick hose down with water only and surprisingly it is holding up well with tight beading, no sheeting in any areas yet and no dead spots at all. This car probably only gets abused and washed only about 6 times a year.. We used 3D One with a Urofiber pad and CarPro Eraser. Located in NorCal. I'm invested in seeing how far this will stretch out as well due to all the videos on it.
I’m curious to hear how it behaves after you take some soap to it after the first wash. I was impressed with the initial rinse and was like wow that’s awesome. After the soap and mitt it was meh for me.
This is the perfect abusive use case. I might suggest using a shampoo for ceramic coated paint. Everything I’ve read is these special shampoos “unclog” the ceramic coating. Not that a PH Neutral shampoo is bad, Mr. Pink is my go to, but now using Griot’s ceramic coating shampoo as suggested. Who knows. Like to hear how your HRV is holding up after a year. So car Cerakote has been good for me too, only been a month and only washed the car once.
Not much. I only coated the two doors to test it with a Dr. Beasley’s NSP and the other door with a traditional polish and panel wipe. At this moment I won’t be using it on an entire car until the next version.
I saw that video. The gloss is not going anywhere as the coating has not failed. The initial slickness is nice but it not as prevalent after the first contact with soap. Again I am not saying it is a bad coating. Just don't expect it to be super hydrophobic and bead just as the Cerakote CEO stated in imhoshv's video that this is a beading coating. Even the beading on the hood took a hit from Pan's video. Go and check out EC Details and Detailing Made Simple's videos. The three of us are in 3 different states and sharing similar experiences with the beading aspect.
I've seen them! I've noticed it with everyone who's used it so far. I'm going to apply it to my wife's car and see how long it'll last. I don't have crazy high hopes, but something tells my they'll be revamping this product in the near future
The application is part of the video. It was left to sit for 5 minutes per the directions. Im not the only to have a similar experience. Pan also has a similar experience on his 1 month update video. As stated in the video and in the pinned comment I’m not saying it’s a bad product. But if the CEO is saying it is designed to be a beader and all of the sudden after one wash it becomes a sheeter then the definition of beading is different from the manufacturer. I suspect they will reformulate fast and fix it. Cerakote is giving me GTechniq CSL vibes with its hydrophobic behavior. Again not a bad product and I’m not discouraging people from buying it. I’m leaving it up to each person to make that decision on their own. I’m not done testing just yet.
@@MikeGDetailing I must just have a completely different experience. You do say in your video that it was less than five minutes and wrote that the temps were in the sixties which we both now slows curing down and typically with any coating you would have been doing for yourself or being paid to do you would of gone over the five minutes.
@@danmoskwa7435 you saw the timers I set for 5 mins. 65 degrees is still a good temperature for a coating application. That’s the beauty of winter in Southern California. Once it gets in the 50’s that’s a different story. Would you mind sharing a video of your experience and how the coating is behaving? That would really help us out who are having a similar experience.
McKees 37 graphene pro coat 2.0 does same thing. It applies same way. And I noticed my applicator didn’t get real crunchy like normal ceramic coatings do. So now we know who made McKee 37, pro coat 2.0.
@@nachomandetailingservices1057interesting that Mckees 37 states it as a 10 year coating . Ive seen torture test on their 5 year graphene coating alongside a dozen others and it looked pretty damn strong
Great video my brother appreciate the shoutout on others peoples experiences. It was weird how just after the first wash you’re experiencing slight sheeting. I can’t wait to see how your test goes on the coating 💪.
Purchased 4-30ml bottles when it was first released. Have not applied it yet after all the issues related to it. Waiting for Cerakote to come up with remedy. Also wanted to ask about the hose and nozzle set-up you are using. Can you provide names and sources? Thanks! New subscriber.
It is the eley hose nozzle. www.eleyhosereels.com/products/garden-hose-spray-nozzle-sets?variant=31870837424199&stkn=0f56be84551f&Garden+Hose+Spray+Nozzle+Sets,+Full+3-Piece+Set&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzZmwBhD8ARIsAH4v1gUxTNNQ4FzJ1lXM6dkRp8PmLB1pm8hiW09gb6CvcTjVPfkpCy3DSHIaAh0eEALw_wcB
I’m waiting for the revised Cerakote before I purchase it? If it’s failing, or not curing properly, then they need to fix that, then I’ll consider buying this product.
How long did it take them to get back to you with the kit? I’m a professional detailer as well. Filled my info out about a week ago. Currently certified by System X but obviously want to try this
My results were perfect. But I did a complete paint correction in a heated garage. Cericote has revealed in a recent video the issue is when the beading fails this early there is a curing issue. They are releasing a new formula that may allow for lower temperature application. If you call, they will replace with the new product. Having said that my coating is rock hard, perfectly cured and beading very well. I applied at 68 degrees 35 percent humidity. Let cure for 72 hours instead of 2 before washing.
They stated there is no new formula. Their " formula is solid" , yeah right. They are looking into the curing process which sounds like clearer instructions on temp and humidity application. Doubt this will make any difference as people have applied in numerous locations around the world and seeing the same things.
Mike I'm interested in your results. I've used their headlight kit and trim kit with excellent results. Especially since they can be found in big box stores. I'm wondering if this will eventually end up in the same place. Maybe in a locked case.
@@MikeGDetailing Wouldn't be surprising. Some people may not know they have chemists and make all their product on site. I think Josh did a tour awhile back.

@@wescat2 The only way to determine if a product is good from Pan is if he applies it to his own car. When I mentioned this to him, he responded by calling me stupid.

Wow a clear coat failure after 6 years of painting...I think you are based in California? Is this because of the strong UV sun? I was on holiday in Fuerteventura the other week, and the cars there were destroyed by the sunshine. Lacquer peeling off on a large number of cars based out there. I'm sure your dads car has had lots of coatings applied with UV protection? Also I thinking about NSP 45 to prime DQ Go. I think you mentioned before that it should be ok. Is this a good idea for Go and all other coatings in your opinion. I've not really had anything to do with cericoat. It's either hit or miss by the sounds of it. I think once you've spent hours of decontamination and prep for a coating, you just want something reliable, so for me, I tend to stick with the tried and tested market leaders. I'm very much like you, Mike. Beading is something I would choose over sheeting. I look for maximum protection for the longest time with the biggest beads, and now, pensil hardness that higher as possible on the Mohs scale. I hope this is where the market will move towards. What are your thoughts to?
UV and water based paint. My dad’s car currently has the professional 5+ year coating form armour detail supply. It’s a great coating as is their 3 year one. For the NSP you will be fine. I’ve used many coatings with the NSP’s and have not had any issues with premature failure. I will be doing a DQ Go topped with SiC as well on one area of my Camaro. Waiting on my bottle of SiC.
@MikeGDetailing I've seen a number of your videos using NSP. You've never encountered any issues, so it might be a good idea. SIC is very good, it's still beading and protecting one of my cars like day one. I cannot say a bad thing about it, other then the smell and the fact the glass bottle is highly pressurised so be careful when opening 😆. With regards to UV, I'm using a Classic Additions Ultimate Outdoor Car Cover. It's thee very best cover you can buy, super soft non scratch microfiber inner layer and a neoprene outer layer. 18 months on through nearly 2 British winters and a very hot intense but brief summer and there's no signs of UV damage or scratches or marring 🙌 highly recommend if you've ran out of garage space. It will definitely protect from the sun and the worst storms
I just did an Audi Q5 with that product. I have used several products like CarPro Quartz UK 3.0, SiC, Geon's Mohs with good results. I was stunned by the results I got compared to the other products. The gloss is out of this world; none of the product that I have used come close. Also it is the easiest to use that I have used; spread it, wait for five minutes, wipe and it is done. Easy to wipe. So this is my experience so far. We will see about the durability. I did not measure the hydrophobicity yet.
Good video Mike. I appreciate your straightforward style of just showcasing your specific experiences. I'm not a fan of jumping on the bandwagon and knocking products just because a few videos might say they aren't any good. I prefer to only speak to products that I've had specific experience with before making any final judgments or just spreading my opinion around. Early adopters to any new product are taking a chance on it, that's just the way it goes. Anything short of long term real world tests in a wide variety of installation and usage environments is not going to reveal all potential pitfalls of a particular coating (or any other protective product) formulation. Scrub tests, wash tests, torture tests etc can only tell you so much. Until it's out there for the long term in a wide variety of conditions, it's kind of a crapshoot.
U didn’t seem to apply it correctly. Need to follow the directions. Shaking it for less than 30sec, big mistake. Stopping and starting again, not good either.

My intention is to showcase my experience with the product. I I appreciate cerakote for sending this out to me and letting me try it out. I find it to be a good first version of their coating and I know they will take any feedback to improve it.
My testing did have me think that maybe the coating did not get the proper cure time as it was applied outside in mid 60 degree weather with no morning dew. But at the same time I don't believe this to be the case as it was applied to the glass the paint and it is performing beautifully on the glass. So for me this does not seem like a variable to consider. I will be applying it to another panel and letting it cure indoors and report any findings if the performance is different.
Things I did like about the coating is the ease of application and the slickness. The slickness of any coating will not last forever as it is an attribute that will fade away rather quickly just like Gyeon Mohs Evo or Cquartz SiC. I can still feel it under the mitt to a degree but bare handed it is not as noticeable. When it comes to gloss well that is subjective as a majority of the gloss comes from polishing and with the paint being silver it is hard to gauge that.
I have made it clear on many occasions that I prefer a hydrophobic coating with tight water beading rather than sheeting. Sheeting is not for me based on my experience. Like beading, sheeting has pros and cons that I will not get into at the moment. Cerakote gives me Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light vibes where it is not the most hydrophobic coating and tends to sheet more than bead. I would like to see Cerakote improve the water beading aspect if they are claiming this to be a beading type coating.
Overall I think it is a good first start to a coating but with a few tweaks it can be better in my experience using it. At the moment this is not the first coating I would reach for. But I would not discourage anyone from trying it as maybe someone likes this type of coating.

He seems like he doesn’t want the product to be good not using his best micro fiber product
The initial product was not very good. The new one is supposed to be much better.
What hose nozzle are you using?
The elegy hose nozzle.

Sheeting is hydrophobic
True. But Cerakote is advertising this as a beading style coating.
any product you guys recommend on apply on mac book screen because it gets dirty very quickly and finger prints
I would look into an interior detailer. DIY Detail Clean & Protect would be something to look into. They have 20% off at the moment.

Another one would be CarPro InnerQD www.detailedimage.com/wax.php?id=48173&url=detailedimage.com/CarPro-M53/InnerQD-P2539/500-ml-S1/
Thanks Mike, but these product are not available internationally
Wow a clear coat failure after 6 years of painting...I think you are based in California? Is this because of the strong UV sun? I was on holiday in Fuerteventura the other week, and the cars there were destroyed by the sunshine. Lacquer peeling off on a large number of cars based out there. I'm sure your dads car has had lots of coatings applied with UV protection?
Also I thinking about NSP 45 to prime DQ Go. I think you mentioned before that it should be ok. Is this a good idea for Go and all other coatings in your opinion. I've not really had anything to do with cericoat. It's either hit or miss by the sounds of it. I think once you've spent hours of decontamination and prep for a coating, you just want something reliable, so for me, I tend to stick with the tried and tested market leaders.
I'm very much like you, Mike. Beading is something I would choose over sheeting. I look for maximum protection for the longest time with the biggest beads, and now, pensil hardness that higher as possible on the Mohs scale. I hope this is where the market will move towards. What are your thoughts to?
UV and water based paint. My dad’s car currently has the professional 5+ year coating form armour detail supply. It’s a great coating as is their 3 year one.
For the NSP you will be fine. I’ve used many coatings with the NSP’s and have not had any issues with premature failure.
I will be doing a DQ Go topped with SiC as well on one area of my Camaro. Waiting on my bottle of SiC.
@MikeGDetailing I've seen a number of your videos using NSP. You've never encountered any issues, so it might be a good idea.
SIC is very good, it's still beading and protecting one of my cars like day one. I cannot say a bad thing about it, other then the smell and the fact the glass bottle is highly pressurised so be careful when opening 😆.
With regards to UV, I'm using a Classic Additions Ultimate Outdoor Car Cover. It's thee very best cover you can buy, super soft non scratch microfiber inner layer and a neoprene outer layer. 18 months on through nearly 2 British winters and a very hot intense but brief summer and there's no signs of UV damage or scratches or marring 🙌 highly recommend if you've ran out of garage space. It will definitely protect from the sun and the worst storms
On a separate note, what sprayer head nozzle do you use for your hose?
The eley hose nozzle.

I just did an Audi Q5 with that product. I have used several products like CarPro Quartz UK 3.0, SiC, Geon's Mohs with good results. I was stunned by the results I got compared to the other products. The gloss is out of this world; none of the product that I have used come close. Also it is the easiest to use that I have used; spread it, wait for five minutes, wipe and it is done. Easy to wipe. So this is my experience so far. We will see about the durability. I did not measure the hydrophobicity yet.
Let me know what your experience is.

Good video Mike. I appreciate your straightforward style of just showcasing your specific experiences.
I'm not a fan of jumping on the bandwagon and knocking products just because a few videos might say they aren't any good. I prefer to only speak to products that I've had specific experience with before making any final judgments or just spreading my opinion around.
Early adopters to any new product are taking a chance on it, that's just the way it goes. Anything short of long term real world tests in a wide variety of installation and usage environments is not going to reveal all potential pitfalls of a particular coating (or any other protective product) formulation. Scrub tests, wash tests, torture tests etc can only tell you so much. Until it's out there for the long term in a wide variety of conditions, it's kind of a crapshoot.
You’re exactly right. It’s not bad for their first version. Gives me GTechniq CSL vibes with how it performs.
Great video mike!
Gracias hermano
U didn’t seem to apply it correctly. Need to follow the directions. Shaking it for less than 30sec, big mistake. Stopping and starting again, not good either.
Thanks. Merry Christmas
