- Whether you've applied one of our ceramic coatings -- or you really went for it, and applied "The Stack" -- this video is for you! It's basic information about how to wash your vehicle for the first time after it's been ceramic coated. And, honestly, this wash method would be great for subsequent washes as well.
What's "The Stack," you ask? Here's a great video: • Everything you need fo...

This car is the example of why every car looks better if it's detailed and coated!
True
I'm impressed with the levels of gloss, beading and sheeting from the 'stack'. This looks amazing and I'm impressed from the screen I'm watching it on.
Thank you.
I will personally vouch for "the stack". Takes the already impressive characteristics of 8-year coating to a higher level... Best of all coatings I've ever installed (dozens). Makes me wish I still had my detailing business going so I could try out the new C6 coatings though 😂
The Stack really is awesome! You can still try Hydro Lite when it comes out
The stack is an awesome coating and I cannot believe how clean the Spark was before you washed it. Normally the Spark would have looked grey and dull. Ceramic gloss does smell amazing! Thank you for the video.
Thank you.
Hi Yvan, I was at your meet and greet at The Bays in Wheeling, IL last weekend. Very informative. I picked up your DIY sponge. Looking forward to trying it out this weekend.👍
Thank you.
This is exactly how I've been washing my cars with all this rain. People think just cuz it says "rinseless" you don't rinse but if it's dirty, rinse then proceed as normal.
Correct
I ordered the stack yesterday to put in my wife’s and my car. I’m pretty excited
Thank you.
Look of those beads! Doing the stack next week I can’t wait!
Have fun! Let us know how it goes in our facebook group

@@diydetailofficialI will update!
That new floor drain really makes a difference'
Yes
Thankyou to Yvan, from over here in the UK, for constantly reminding Nick that we use metric over here and 4ml to the L for rinseless is how we roll.
Being Canadian we are measurement bilingual.
Wow!! 💯💪🏼
Thank you.
The stack did phenomenal during the winter in Quebec. A wise man once said coating makes a car Shinier Cleaner Longer!
sounds about right!
Awesome video 👍. Can I apply it to glass as well!
Yes you can!
Ready
Thank you.
Hope no more snow. 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I hope so too
During my rinse less wash, the water left on the paint still looks dirty. Is this normal? Will it scratch the paint during drying? Thanks! Love the stack!
Yes it’s normal, and safe
Can you do the 3 and 5 yr coating as a stack ?
Yes
Let's say I prefer suds. Could I use rinseless as a pre treat, rinse, then spray on rinseless for lubrication before I go in with a mitt and soap like incredible suds?
Yes
Can you stack the 8yr with the 5yr? What would be pros vs cons of doing that?
Yes, absolutely no advantage
Do you need to soak those drying towels now that they have ceramic gloss on them?
When you’re done drying, soak them in your wash bucket a few minutes.
I have a similar situation. After having paint work done on a 2019 Bullitt how soon can I wash the car and coat it with the stack?
Most people will say 30-60 days but you should ask your painter to be sure
You’re painter will be your best resource
I did the stack on a black car. I did the 8 year coating, went to lunch and a few hours later i started to apply the 3year coating. On the hood there was a section where at the moment I touched the car with the 3 year coating it went hard and smeared. It was crazy didn’t had any more of these sections where it went that way. I polished the section to get rid of the scratches and tried again with the 3 year coating. Didn’t work and started to get hard and scratches again. Polished again and put the 8year coating on the section without any issues further. Don’t know what went wrong
Possibly the humidity was too high.
@@diydetailofficial hard to believe because that weekend was it a nice sunny weekend here in Belgium. If that would be really the problem then we can't use it at all. Next time I try to get it on camera instead of starting to panic 😅😅😅
Is there a "cure time" for ceramic gloss where it shouldn't get wet?
1 hour
👋
How's the performance of the stack on the glass as time passes?
Great
Which is going to be better? The stack vs the new Consumer C6 coating
C6 Ceramics Hydro
@diydetailofficial what about the stack vs Hydro light? Thx
what do you do with the drying towels after using ceramic gloss with them? are you okay to just put them up to dry?
Best to soak in your wash bucket for a few minutes
@@diydetailofficial thank you
Is there a way to tell if a car has a ceramic coat or not? I just bought a red 2019 Silverado and its really glossy but has swirl marks. I want to polish them away but worried I'm going to take away the ceramic coating if any. Not sure if it just comes that shiney or not
No way of knowing, polish it and coat it.
I'm not sure what you all got playing music wise, but I thought my cat was about to hack up a hairball lol. Coating looks great!
Thank you.
When will Gold Standard be in stock again?
This week
Is the sprayer mix in this video at 256:1?
Yes
Was the Veloster repaired? I thought it was gone due to the crash.
It’s a write off
The perks of a coated car. It would make cleaning clients cars a lot easier and quicker.
I totally agree!
how many Leveling Towel do you use for Ceramic Coating on one car??
Normally just 1 for leveling and 1 for insurance.
Can you ‘Stack’ the side and rear windows ?
Yes
The stack on a Spark, it shines in the dark!
quite the poet! And yes it does:)
It's not weather though. It's the ice melts, brines, and like on our county fly ash which turns into a cement like layer.
Like what this went through, it drove for a week in a stormy week in Nebraska
Does Nebraska seriously spread fly ash as an ice melt on the road? I'm very interested in that. Here in PA , Cambria county is the only county around that does this. Other counties do not because it is a carcinogen and filthy. Several states around PA, use Cambria county roads to dispose of their fly ash \ coal burning waste product.
Not being from Nebraska, I don’t know. But here’s a video of a car that was pulled through a snow storm from Chicago to Atlanta.

4ml to a litre 🙌
Exactly
Can you do 5 yrs and 8 yrs as stack?
Yes, but there is no advantage
@diydetailofficial Thank you for the reply. Bless day!
I really want to believe that rinseless is a good, safe, and effective product but I scratched the f*** out of my car trying it out the other day. :(
I've already polished my car a few times over and I'm not sure how much clear coat I have to work with now. I should get a meter.
A paint thickness gauge is good to have. What tools, products and process did you use?
@diydetailofficial I used an APC as a foam pre soak and rinsed thoroughly after dwelling for one minute. I then pre sprayed DIY Detail Rinseless Wash over the car before grabbing the sponge. I didn't use any pressure. I switched sides of the sponge between panels before dunking back in the bucket. I made sure the sponge wasn't overloaded/sopping wet with rinseless. Once contact wash was complete, I used a ceramic detail spray to dry/protect.
There’s no reason that would have scratched.
@@diydetailofficial Well... whether it was my fault or not, there must be a reason why I can see the path of sponge on my hood. Maybe I didn't use enough rinseless.
Beads like sheet! 🤣🤣🤣
