THE CHEM-X TRAIN KEEPS ON ROLLIN
Brought it all bro stuff is so good
@@jbalinski TVMA
Because it's really that good! Made by a company with a fantastic CEO.
Glad you had a solid experience with M888, Eddie. FWIW, this coating was bench-marked exclusively against only top tier big brand certified installer professional coatings. Durability is in that realm as a result. The original intent was for this to require certification as well, but as you so aptly pointed out - the application is stupid easy and we felt it would be silly to require training.
Also worth mentioning - you can go 24+ hours and still wipe a high spot off with this coating. It is VERY unique in that sense. If you have any other questions, feel free to ping me.
-Markus Kleis aka MK, Meguiar's Portfolio Innovation Leader
@@MarkusKleis you ain’t lying, I applied the coating to the whole car first then I wiped it off 😭
It is a great coating , let me ask you this what’s the chemical makeup ? And the ph resistance of the coating. Thanks Markus!
I would like to see a comparison with the HPC. Mine was nearly gone after 8 months and 2500 miles. New car, full decon, careful application, etc.
@@matsudakodo hpc or megs which one took the hit bro
@@Ecdetails I used Meguiar's HPC
36 minutes of pure knowledge, education and just straight up fun. You are one of the few that I can have a laugh with while watching CZcams videos and your way of interacting with whoever is on the other side of the camera in this video was seriously top notch. Thanks for the videos and just being you bro
Dang man thank you so much I appreciate you
Stars and stripes is putting in work! Im waiting on mine to come so I an put it to the test! Great video Eddie thats pretty cool that you've got Pan as a mentor, can't get much better than him!
Blessed to have him as a mentor and thank you so much for watching the video means alot
Finally caught up! Glad you got to use Invisible Glass after all this time
I coated my truck with M888 and love the how it looks. The gloss is banger! I would say it has a warm glow like carnauba wax. Very forgiving during application. The M799 bead booster is a must as it keeps the gloss going. I look forward to the updates of M888 and your impressions further down the road. All the best!
Thanks for the comment bro m888 was real impressive and thr gloss it gave was top notch how is it going with out the topper for you ?
@@Ecdetails Well the M799 topper went on two weeks after my first wash. For me, M799, is a gloss enhancer after each wash...about every other week. I view the M888 coating as a product helping the paint clean easier/faster so I can then apply more M799. What I enjoy about the M888 is its ability to fill in minor marks and "level" the paint if you will. I think this "leveling" is a major aspect missing in other coatings and has a direct link to appearance. I picked M888 knowing a simple polish was going to be all I needed, not a multi-step, hours long approach.
Thank you for walking us through your correction process…I appreciate the transparency in the process because some of us are still learning and that was awesome teaching right there!!! Great video!!
Thanks for watching Kristi!! I appreciate you
Chem-X is on my short list of products to try for sure! I really appreciate your long form videos - always learn! And people like to give Pan a hard time but that guy is the real deal. Keep on being awesome Eddie!
Pan is awesome!! Also thank you for always watching I appreciate you
Same here, I like their bundle with two foam cannons. Just not sure if it’s bad for my Graphene ceramic coated cars.
@@NO_OPEC_NO_PROBLEM Tesla has ethos v2 on it used it 4 times still going strong bob hooked me up with a code if you want it Ec is the code.. after 4 or so times I use a normal wash but thus far that ethos is going strong
Invisible Glass is 🔥. That’s why Pan has always listed as his top glass cleaner.
I can see now lol stuff is magic
I dont play with a ton of glass cleaners personally but its fair to say ive tried a couple. I usually clean them like a window tinter so like with a squeegee and a towel. For a typical glass cleaner that works best with a rag I actually like the diy which caught me off guard when I tried it. Invisible glass in a can is definitely great as well and I always have it around.
Invisible glass is soo good , I was also told I used to much so we’ll keep testing lol
888 self heals! Seriously it does. They don’t promote it that way but I have done it several times on micro scratches and it works
Imma have to see how that works didn’t know that , also wonder what the blend is
I did 2 layers 2 hours between coats. I’m not sure if that played a role in it, but I did some testing with it before I applied it, and I lightly scratched it then took a heat gun to it and it disappeared.
From my CZcams research, it seems cquartz uk 3.0 is about the leader for the under $100 coatings, but this is why I watch. Always researching. Keep up the awesome videos Eddie!
There are a few ads quartz diy detail 5 year megs might be a banger
@@Ecdetails and that’s why I keep watching
i agree Eddy i would take ads all day over cquartz 3.0 but each to their own
@@clints8888 doesn’t the ads take several applicators to apply?
Thx for walking us through the struggle. We enjoyed the journey my man
Thanks brother appreciate you
Thank you for the great video. I don't think most people will catch on to all the incredible knowledge you shared. I love that you are keeping it real and being you but stepping out to do stuff you normally would not do. #roadto100k
Man I appreciate you watching and for your support thank you
My paint is so bad that i need to fill the stone chips before even thinking about polishing and ceramic coating. Good video as always! Can you do me a favour and test DIY rinseless V2 in ik foamer 1/32 to check if it still foams? Living in Australia so i have to wait several months to try out myself
Ya I can do that test and get back to you I got some stuff coming soon!
Ready for the glass cleaner show down My 2 favorites of all of those is Traceless and Nitido. Traceless is a little better on bugs and road film by a slight margin.
I think vision might clean better cleaner we’ll have to see
Cool wet sanding, I haven't tried it yet. I might have to give it a go.
Thanks for watching bro
Hey Eddie, so glad you brought up CSI polish b/c I have it but never used it. Is it really all that? You'er by-far, my best teacher.
Thanks man appreciate you watching , it cut good and I wasn’t nervous Tim m told me about this 72 page doc showing the science of the compound
We use a touchless process 75% of the time, we ain't with the scrubbin. Great video brotha, good ol meguiars, your grandaddy's favorite name in detailing 😅
Haha love this shirt by the way need some more so I can order - also appreciate you been touchless washing everything
@@Ecdetails I get you a new shirt, got a new design dropping soon. I'll get one out to you
@detailsauto where can u buy your shirts should be everyone staple
I didnt realize Meguiars had a ceramic coating, thanks!
Me either haha until
Pan told me about it
Hey my guy, definitely appreciate this video. I been wondering how the M888 works and so far I’m looking to grab one. As for the window cleaner if you do a battle try adding superior product (clear view) to see how it stands with others you review 🙌🏽
Hey I wanted to say thanks for watching bro , thus far megs is doing Gods work on this truck. I’ll grab that glass cleaner for sure
@@Ecdetails can’t wait for the breakdown & thanks for the update!
Another great video Eddie , vehicle came out great . Meguiars has some decent products we will have to see how this one stacks up.
Thanks for watching , megs was impressive
great, the video content is excellent.🥰
Thanks again for another killer video. As far as I'm concerned, Invisible glass is the OG glass cleaner that just works. I have never used any other glass cleaner in my life. My mom cleaned the house windows once a week in the 90's with that stuff.
Beware that the aerosol foaming version you used is much better than the normal trigger sprayer version in my experience. Others may argue that. Maybe worth doing a comparison video on the aerosol foaming vs trigger sprayer versions to get your opinion. Can't say I have found that comparison video or even a short with the two.
So good bro I know I used to much but I didn’t know haha stuff cleans amazing I’m digging the aresol
Stoners is the goat 🔥🔥. Like 4 dollars for a bottle from walmart 😂. I use it in my house too.
The goat bro absolutely wild
On DEEP scratches, why not use the clear coat brush from a paint pen to fill the scratch, then once it dries wet sand it to blend it with the surrounding clear coat.
Would generally do that he didn’t have the budget for it
Dude - that dual foamer looks cool!
Thanks sir
Need to use dry sanding with kovax totes sanding from japan, blows wet sanding away, as you see results immediately.
Oooo send me the link
I've been a fan of Apex detailing for a long time Eddie! I became a good fan of your channel as well! I've done a lot of wet sanding. Anymore with the Water based paint on new vehicles? I'm more of a 2500 grit and 3000 grit myself. It's a good tutorial on paint correction! M888. Looks good? Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching I appreciate you
This will be the next ceramic coating I will try. Thanks for the review. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video bro!!! I need to drive up and do another car with you soon!
Any time bro my house is your house
If you check the price history, M888 has dropped down to as low as $70 on sale on Amazon before. 100% worth it. Wild that Eddie hasn't ever used some of the classics like Invisible Glass. 😆
Haha I did after this video glass cleaner is goooooooaaaaaatted man I’d was so good I was I aw
Also it’s not a bad price if you do 2 cars easy sell this for 600-700
Eddie- those scratches don’t look any worse than some I’ve seen Yvan remediate using gold standard and pad with 5-5-5 method. What do you think? What I’d like to see in these correction videos is some data. Paint thickness and maybe even gloss meter before and after. I know you can see some difference with the eye, but what has really been done? And how much more could you do? Not picking this apart, just curious. Thanks for all your good work. Always enjoyable and informative
BH
Hey bob
These were finger nail deep it was pass the clear the goal here was to blend it in the light you can see it if up close 5-5-5 wouldn’t of done what sand paper did
I took the hills abd valleys and knocked it down making it so when the light reflected you didn’t see the white
For rids and such - I would do the 5-5-5 method. Also I did a paint gauge reading and sent it to the customer I’ll start adding those to the video to give you data
On the side where I use a foam pad that a heavy compound and blue pad remove the clear coat scuff
Thank you for your quick reply. Much appreciated
BH
have you only been detailing for a month or so Eddie? How have you missed invisible glass? but now on the serious side great job on the wet sanding don’t like the idea of the applicator. I’m not sure how it would go getting Under doorhandles etc. Another cracking video. Thanks
lol haha a week I’m a new born haha appreciate you very much
Thanks Eddie for the great video.
Thanks for watching man
Bro, bangin' video! Loved every second. Your audio is perfection 🤘
When did you end up using the Meg's Hybrid Paint Coating? What did you use it on? What's your initial thoughts? Apparently they have a new 1+ year coating in their Ultimate line but its not super user friendly.
Did some test on some panels it’s a good man appreciate you sending me that and letting me use it
@@Ecdetails hell yeah! For what it is, it was super easy to apply and it's got real decent protection.
Great educational video Eddie. 👍👌
Thanks bro
Another great one. This or Labocosmetica HPC 2.0? Also on my radar are Gyeon Pure and Mohs Evo.
Thanks man testing against mohs
lmao, shout out to the word moist baby baybaaaay! i don’t know if you saw my last vid, but yeah moist is nasty moist is sexy…damp is boring! 😜😜😜. if i ever try my hand at wet sanding i coming back here to the good word according to eddie colon 🤘🏽🐿️💨
Always bro appreciate you and love your content moist is nasty lmao
Great video for the whole process! I learned a lot! Helps me to watch ur technique with sanding and polishing. Thanks for showing even a pro has to adapt on the fly and change polish when not getting what ur looking for. Road2TenK
Thank you so much Becca I appreciate you
Came out great big bro 💪🏼💪🏼👍🏼👍🏼how is the chem x interior cleaning and the smell too
We’ve used the interior on a few cars you get that nice smell cleans and protect
Missed a section of door under mirror and leading edge.
Try getting your hands on some PerformancePPL Reign - decent.
I re did the door after I shot thr video haha Jb said the same thing
I know the guy behind that coating Markus Kleis is the name 👍🤘🏼
Tell that dude he did good haha 😆
Eddie is it better than gyeon mohs
Man I don’t know this one was kinda of nice - application , slickness , saturation and the high spot 4 hours later came off was crazy. I would have to put these to against each other t
Today I use Maguires 110 after doing some wet sanding, applied with a DA and got great results
Finished it with CarPro Reflect polish.
Gloss units went from an average of 87 to 88 to 93 to 95 🫶
Overall, Maguires make some solid compounds
Love megs , 205 compound got some like 2 months ago to test it seems to work real good
Great video bro!!! Definitely stoners glass cleaner is good. 😂. I'm shocked you never used it.
Soc is this you where the heck you been bro hope your good and ya first time and it’s amazing that stoners
@@Ecdetails yessir!!! I've been on vacation the past month bro. I was thinking of uploading stuff on CZcams and edit some videos while on vacation but I just don't have the time 😂😂. I'm in Colombia right now with the family since beginning July. That's why I posted that my most recent video but I did the editing here. After that I've been lazy to edit the others 😂😂
Here’s to moist sandpaper, forgetting batteries and sleeping on Invisible Glass.
What a day right haha 😆
Hey Eddie! Would you use Stars and Stripes on a ceramic coated car?
Yes sir I do all the time
@@Ecdetails alright! I will give it a try!
the applicator kinda sucks but the coating for me is still holding up after 6 months
I was liking it after I keep using it not sure way was less grabby then my other ones
Hi sir, do you use plain water to soke your sanding paper and spray on the car or is it somting els you use ?
I actually used the bucket if rinseless I had but I tend to use warm water
1st love from Denver
WHERE YOU AT HUMBERTO
Nice
Keep up the good work with your diet. I can tell on your face and neck . Baby Face Colon!!
Thank you so much , I will continue and I’m looking forward to what 8 months from
Now looks like
Does it come in a glass bottle or plastic???
@@AlexSanchez-tr5fu this one was glass
🔥
✌️
The stuff is a beast looks like it’s on par with gyeon mohs evo and NV and DIY (I mean opti)
It looked good , super slick and water Behavior is wild
don’t leave out Nasiol zr 53
Damm dude the sound sucks, my volume is all the way up and you can't hear shit.
lol nah for real??
What rotary polisher is that? Sounds quiet.
Shinemate cordless
@@Ecdetails I haven't seen a video of you talking about. What do you think of it? There isn't much info on it on CZcams
Great video Eddie
I'll tell you something that Pan forget to tell you. Give me (and all your viewers) more than 3 seconds to Like and subscribe 😊
Hahah , I’ll make sure to fix that
Lots of detailers are on the CHEM-X trend. Do you think it’s okay on my ceramic coating? I want some for the undersides of my vehicles.
Wow fantastic job with that rotary Eddie! No swirls? Black paint is the worst, unless it has metallic flake. I used to hate the look of orange peel, now I like it. Means I got lots of clear coat to work with. Wet sanding is not difficult, but very intimidating.
Hey bro I use chemx on coated , non coated cars no issue man makes work so easy no issues on the coating front. Appreciate the love on the rotary
Bahaha you're talking about Jimbo Alice over there aren't you?
Who haha 😆
Wow, newbie to Invisible Glass??? Kids nowadays…🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha welp
Oh, Humberto is missing!
Probably working
First 🎉
First
Lol Eddie got the dual cannons that’s funny….I gotta try this stars & stripes especially since they are in New England like me
I wanna see three foam cannons minimum
Bro been on this touchless kick man can’t get over it haha use it for everything
@@hippopotimusstew 😳😂
@@Ecdetails lol ya I can see that..hey if it works that’s awesome I gotta try it
