Review: Wolfgang PROFI Ceramic Coating

Mike,

I am assuming that once the coating is removed the towels are trash because the coating hardens in the towel, and can't be washed out?

Do we wipe off the coating after the flash, then flip to a clean side for the buff, and then those two sides are done? I'm thinking that you can get 4 sections of the car done with one towel and then it's trashed.

In my opinion I think you would need 24 towels for the installation of the coating and another 12 for the panel wipe before installation of the coating?

Thank you so much in advance to anyone who can help me to clear this up.
 
I immediately throw my towels, used for coatings, into a bucket of water coating towel detergent . This seems to help with preventing them from being tossed out.
 
How long should this coating last after being opened? I only used about half the bottle and it's been stored with the lid closed for about 2 months. Should this last awhile or is it no longer good?

Coatings usually last 6 to 12 months after opened, if properly closed with the lid (and not the dropper that some come with). Your mileage may vary.
I haven’t tried the Wolfgang coating. Hopefully it’s not like V2 of McKee’s coating, that lasted like 2 months at best. Most of them are fine for a while, check for cloudiness, crystals inside, or consistency of jelly, those are bad signs.
 
Just out of curiosity, what is the bottle made from? They look like they could be aluminum, like a mini version of a CanCoat bottle. After experiencing a similar problem to what BSoares mentions with McKees coating, I always wondered if it was partially do to the plastic spray bottle they used at the time vs the glass and metal ones used by other brands.

I think the bottles are metal but could be wrong. I definitely think the crappy plastic bottles impacted Mckees V2 shelf life.
 
Is Wolfgang PROFI Ceramic Coating recommended for use on plastic trim, headlights and wheels? Or is it better to use Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating on plastics trim, headlights and wheels instead?

Only Autogeek's Wolfgang Uber website, but not the Wolfgang PROFI website highlights trim, lights and wheels application.

Also, what is the difference between these two products, and in which scenarios would I buy one over the other?

In advance, thank you for your help and advice!

PROFI is a newer version and probably superior product. It’s fine to use it on all surfaces you mentioned.

Thanks Bruno!

i was just a little puzzled since Autogeek's Wolfgang PROFI Ceramic Coating website does not mention plastic trim and head/taillights. I know that some products like CQuartz have a ceramic coating for painted surfaces and another ceramic product for plastic trim. Needless to say, i don't want to mess up my car by using a ceramic coating product that is not suitable/recommended for plastic trim, glass, tire rims.......

Thanks again - much appreciated advice!

A dedicated coating for plastics might deliver more of a darkening effect on the trim and perhaps last longer as it was made to bond to plastic but the regular coating work too. Personally I like CarPro Dlux for trim but for smooth plastic like headlights and tail lights I use whatever coating I’m using on the paint. Same for wheels as they’re almost always painted and clear coated.

I just re-visited this coating on an old 2-door Europeen job... I used it on everything but the windshield.
