Mother's CMX CERAMIC SPRAY COATING

I'm just waiting to see if I can use it as a drying aid, that would be AMAZING

Suprised Mother's let Meguiar's beat them to the shelves. Wonder how many retail shoppers will pay $14.99 for Meguiars hybrid ceramic wax then a month or so later pay ~$19.99 for Mother's CMX. As a guy with an MBA, it's very risky for a product to be "2nd" in getting out in the market. I hope both products do well. The boutique products are too expensive for what little R&D and marketing dollars they invest.

They are completely different products in application. Also, Mother's claims theirs is a true coating, in which durability should be better than Meg's.

Keep studying. All other things being equal you have a point; which I assume the smart guys at Mother's have a marketing plan. That said, all other things are *not* equal.
 
I’m more interested in bringing a great performing product to market than bringing a product to market first.

With a family owned business, sometimes the decisions made won’t always make sense to outsiders. And we may have an MBA or 2 around.

If this can be used as a drying aid I'm gonna need this to be sold in gallons.

I have engineering degree, a Professional Engineer's license, an MBA, and 6 other professional certifications. I've studied plenty thank you. If I were 10 years younger, I'd get my PhD, but would rather one or two of my kids aspire to top mom and dad's education levels.
 
I work with many PEs, some of whom have MBAs. I’m thankful they’re all humble and don’t pop off their educational and career achievements to bedazzle the public.
 
Being first to the marketplace is not always the best. I have developed quite a few products that are still being used in industry today and many of my competitor's would rush their products to market before they were perfected. I would make sure that my products had none of the features that caused the problems of my competitors.

I wouldn’t think you would want to use a product that lasts 12 months as a drying aid. I use drying aids to help with slickness so the towels don’t mar the paint. My drying aid right now is ECH2O with an SiO2 spray for a touch of durability. You want the cheapest product that works for a drying aid unless you only wash your car once a year and have no LSP. If I am missing something let me know.

The longest lasting spray SiO2 product currently sold by AG is IGL Ecocoat Premier and it costs a whole lot more than the new Mother’s product. This could be THE product of 2019.

I'm an IGL installer and yes premier cost a pretty penny, which is why if this last half as long as they claim it will be a steal as a drying aid. I've used everything AG has to offer as a drying aid and for where I am none are great. I've used and know other who use cancoat as a drying aid and it's more to give the coating the best sacrificial layer possible whenever we wash because we are in the end obsessed with our rides being perfect. So if a 19.99 bottle last me 3 months worth of washes.. I'm game all day

Forrest is Mothers allowed to let us know the percentage of SiO2 and TiO2 within the product? Or is this proprietary information to Mothers?

Could always give Meguiar's Ceramic Wax a try as a drying aid.

From all the things I've seen you still need to activate it with water, that I'm trying to avoid

Check out WaxMode's videos now that he just added another video. He goes into the application process pretty thoroughly. You would essentially be using it as you dry with the surface already wet. Unless you are not actually washing the vehicle. Then you can use the Apex Detailing method. You always have Bead Maker as another option as that has taken the detailing world by storm.

Forgot to toss in CarPro Elixir as well. All ready pre-mixed and you could sell a bottle to your customers.

If I were 10 years younger I would wrassle unicorns.......

The accumulation of knowledge makes one smart. Not intelligent. The smartest people know the know more nothing than more everything.

Also would know neither of these are first or even second to market.

Funny that mothers has A LOT of products similar meguiars that meguiars probably put out first. Still in business..... weird....


I’m done now
