Review & How-To: Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Paint Coating

When you factor in the amount of time to totally prep the paint for coating why in the wide world of sports would you wanna remove it just to start over...not to mention the expense. I got my WGU paint coating on sale during Christmas and it was still over $100 for 15 ml's, so however it looks it's staying (I expect it to look great)

Not following, he's asking about removing polishes and sealants not paint coatings.

It's a new car, I clayed it and it has 2 coats of wax, that's all I've done to it. I plan to polish it and use the Uber coat.

Yeah. If you want to put a coating on a car, it needs to be applied directly to the clearcoat for the best bond. If you have a wax or sealant already on the car, you absolutely need to remove it, and Dawn or Citrus Wash and Gloss and IPA just aren't going to do the trick. You need to polish the surface. If you want the best result with the longest durability, that's what you need to do.

I think he was asking about putting a coating on when there was a wax previously on.

You can layer coatings, but the most superficial coating is subject to the quality of the deeper coating. If you've done a haphazard job with the deeper coating, the superficial coating is doomed.....

I'd like to add that it's important to wipe it down after waiting the 1 minute, makes life easier👈 This product is still easy to use and with prior coating experience it's not going to be an issue.

Great product, looking forward to seeing how it holds up down the road😎

My new daily driver arrived this past weekend. I asked Nick for a tube of the new Uber Coating from Wolfgang. I had seen the extreme gloss in pics, but its rather incredible in person. Best part, this is the easiest coating to apply that I have ever used. Wheels, barrels, brakes, and paint. Very happy with the outcome.

Just curious as to why you don't like the product? I just applied at two days ago so I don't have any durability or any other type of things to add to the mix here.

The jury is still out for my opinion. I coated a non daily driver six months ago and have noticed a few spots in the coating that we're damaged. One was a fingerprint in the coating and another looked like a water spots or something that etched the coating. I am a little surprised as this car is babied and never sees the elements or even a traditional was since I have applied the coating. I will say it is super shiny and looks great after I rinseless wash with Uber Rinseless.

I assume you have a Corvette? If so, pics?

The directions were horrible about the amount supposed to put on the applicator. After calling Autogeek they educated us about it but it left horrible streaking at first. Didn't really like the syringe method and two small drops.

I find the application of Ctechniq to be easier from watching how its applied.

It's a Viper, I used to have a Corvette that miss :) I'll dig up a few pics when I'm in front of a computer.

I just made the X and applied to a decent sized section at a time, used the supplied applicator and got the hang of the entire process after doing the hood.

Same with me, had a couple of high spots I had to touch up later, but overall not too bad. I do think it's a little pricey compared to some other coatings, but not too crazy.

Without looking it up I'm not sure what the higher end stuff even costs/per ML.

Re: Review & How-To: Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Paint Coating

Uber is on the expensive end when compared to most other prosumer coatings available, and I'm not exactly sure why. Other than being easier than most other coatings to apply (and that's a relative judgment), I don't think it looks bettet or lasts any longer than others. This is not a knock against the performance and application, which are great. The price leaves me scratching my head.
