Good video. One thing I would like to add as a lessons learned is to not put the coating removal towels on adjacent panels or on the glass as it will leave residue behind aka a high spot. I recommend placing them on some sort of mobile cart.
Good point, and something that we talk about quite a bit during our classes. You especially don't want to place them on the windshield.
Mike G this x1000 it’s my biggest habit I had to break as I’d be working around the car!
Good news is most of today's good coatings are super easy to wipe off due to improved carrier solvents thus making high spots more rare than in years past. Good news you can spot-polish those areas and then re-coat it overlapping the existing good areas and then buff off.
Thanks ESOTERIC ! always clarifying everyone's doubts
That was a great video! Very compact with great information and demonstration. Very tidy package. I recently applied my first Ceramic coating and thanks in part to videos like this, it turned out amazing with very little blemishes or high spots. In fact, I only had one high spot I was able to remove easily by applying more product, letting it flash, and wiping it right off. It's very important to get as much light on your car as possible though without having it out in the hot sun.
fantastic video! thanks so much for sharing this!
Most thorough video ive seen on this. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The more I watch these videos (I just found your channel a few hours ago), the more I'm scared to coat my own car.
Thanks for explaining not only what "high spots" are but that they even exist. I didn't realize this. Now, I'm about to do my first application of ceramic coating this afternoon on my carefully prepped car and don't want to monkey it up with some very avoidable mistake like not properly wiping the coating after I apply it. Thanks, again!
Awesome!! Great vid!!
Thank you.
Good info...
Great video thank you
Thank you.
I found that you have to real careful how much product you put on pad
You do not want put any pressure on the application pad when first put it on the car
You video is very good
Very informative!
Thank you.
I did my first coating yesterday ran out of day light the following day i saw some high spots this was about 8hrs later
So i got the coating and applied it on those areas and thankfully wiped right off 👍🏼
Glad to hear they came off!
Wish I had this recommendation before I spent 10 hours applying 2 coats of CQuartz UK 3.0 and then letting it cure for a few days before spotting many high spots. Spent 2 hours today polishing out all the high spots.
Cringe..
Good.
Can ceramic coating apply on side mirrors and sunroof and navigation systems?
Just finished applying 2 coats of PA glasscoat and appreciated your tips (although glasscoat seems super easy to work with). Am using cosmic spritz for maintenance (amazing).
Is it ok to use ONR for quick removal of a bug or a quick clean up from rain and dust in between biweekly washes? ie: does ONR fall in the bucket of quick detailers that we should avoid on coated cars or is it a safe option for a lubricant wash/wipe when wiping off specific areas between washes? If not, what is a good option?
Thanks
Jim...Glad to hear you're enjoying the PA products as much as we do. If you're simply looking for some spot maintenance, then I'd just recommend pre-mixing a bottle of distilled water, and a few drops of a pH neutral shampoo (like Gyeon Bathe), and use that. If you're looking for an overall car cleanup, I'd just avoid that altogether and wait for your proper wash. The Cosmic Spritz is a superior protection product than ONR...therefore that's what you want sitting on top of the surface and reacting to the elements.
Being in a rush, using too much product and not using enough towels during the leveling process is what most high spots are born from. That’s why those $500 coating jobs are never good lol.
I do it for 350
@@trainsoffinland651 I’ve done a paint correction, coating, and interior detail for $300 and the guy thought I was charging him way too much.
@@devn3813 I paid 600 for a paint correction at one point and was nervous for going with the “cheaper” option
@@devn3813 you’re being played like a fiddle bro. Making $15/hr charging like that.
Is there any way to find high spot in white car?
when leveling the finish, do you want to fold and use a new part of the towel for each panel to a new dry side or just keep buffing off with the same side. thanks
You'll continue to use different sides of the towels, but it won't work out to a "fresh side" for each panel unless you go through a lot of towels (not necessary).
Todd, what method do you use to prep a car for coating? How do you strip the paint of old waxes and sealants, to ensure you’re working on a clean surface? Thanks
Wash, chemical decontamination (Gyeon Iron), dry, liberal use of Gyeon Prep.
ESOTERIC Thank you sir! Looking forward to meeting you at the Elite Detailer’s academy in a few weeks.
Hi, Todd I have a question what would be the best coating to use on a car run on a drag strip? I’m looking to see if any of them would help to keep the hot rubber from tire sticking on the quarter panels. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
While coatings will help, there's only so much you can do when it comes to melted rubber! Even if you apply paint protection film with coating built-in (STEK Dynoshield), it will still be challenging.
ESOTERIC Thanks for the information
Do you have or can you make a video about coating painted wheels?
We have videos on wheel coating, and it doesn't make a difference whether the wheels are painted, powder coated, polished, etc.
For the pressure on wipe off is it the same pressure as removing a wax?
For the most part, yes.
If you apply ceramic coating on a matte paint and if you leave a spot by mistake then What would you do? Because you can polish matte paint.
Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do! When applying coatings to matte / satin finishes, you simply need to inspect thoroughly to make sure there are no mistakes.
How soon after i coat my car can i put the overcoat on? This is Mark from PA.
You could apply it within a few hours, but I like to wait overnight whenever possible.
Can Miyabi Coat be removed with a light polish or it has to be a medium cut?
We use a medium cut polish to remove it...
@@Esotericdetail Thanks!
Do you do panel by panel or sections?
Depends on the product
@@beau2047 but at the end of the day most coatings have the same ingredients right?
@@Doom253 probably yes, but they have different curing times, for example, cs ultra you do in sections on a panel and csl you can do a whole door.. if this is what you wanted to know
That's determined by the specific product you are using. For Kamikaze Miyabi Coat for instance, you could do 2 panels at a time. With ISM however, it would be 1 panel at a time.
Nice topic. Terrible camera angle. 2nd video of yours I've seen with bad camera angle of the work surface (great angle and shot of Mike). Either raise the camera or raise the panel more vertical to actually show the viewer what Mike is doing.
Thanks for the feedback, however there is no Mike here!
Sorry, "Todd" ;)
I can use a ton of pressure and it still won’t come off ever.
You shouldn’t need a ton of pressure that can scratch. A good fresh 320-350gsm microfiber for intitial wipe off then buff off remainder with fluffy microfiber. Don’t let it set for too long either.
Jared Ostler I should try applying less and using two towels because I usually use one for the whole car
@@devn3813 you should definitely invest is some good quality microfiber towels. It will help. I use about four towels for even a smaller vehicle. Switching to a new side each pannel. Get some rag company towels the 300-350 gsm 16x16 towels for initial coating wipe/leveling and then a fluffy for final wipe 16x16 it’s a very safe method.
A clay towel will take off high spot.
That's not a solution we would recommend as it would scratch / mar the freshly coated surface.
Use gloves 🧤🙏🏻
STOP coating your car full stop ..its a Mickey mouse set up ..real wax is a cars best friend
your stuck in the 90s bud
@@kylegallant3423 idk that spray on wax that you can apply while the car is still wet is pretty good
