Hello All,
I have a friend that I polished and Ceramic Coated their car Summer 2018. Unfortunately last week they brought it in to a bodyshop I know the owner of to fix a minor hit on their rear bumper. The owner of the body shop who I know took it in did the body work and painted it. He said he had little pin hole bubbles in the paint which looked to be caused by a Silicon product and asked me if I knew what was used on the car.
Cquartz UK 3.0 was the coating,
But the owner of the car uses, CaPro Reload, Geyon WetCoat, Geyon Bathe+
Those products have silicon in them which has struck to the paint/body work and was causing him issues. He sanded everything down again, used properly degreasers and other chemicals that any bodyshop would use to remove the silicon and painted it and yet it did it again. I believe he tried a 3rd time with no success. In the end he bought a new OEM bumper at his cost painted that and got the work finished.
My question is, has anybody else seen these sort of issues? It seems like this is becoming a bigger issue as time goes on due to people wanting to protect their Ceramic Coating. He even contacted glasurit which is the paint he uses and they said they are starting to see more and more of these types of issues and are looking into to see what they can do. Its gotten me worried where I would not want to give him a headache in the future where I will likely stop using these topper type products on my car and just leave the ceramic coating alone unless I can find products that dont have silicone in them.
Thanks
