I haven't coated my car yet. Winter is finally starting to subside here. In all my years here this was one of the most brutal winters I can remember. Anyways, I should be able to turn my exterior taps back on in a week or so. I will probably wait until mid to late April before I get to it as...
I put on two layers of CanCoat earlier this week. Man o man that stuff is fantastic. It's so easy to use. It's basically like using Megs Fast Finish. I suspect it will have much better durability though. The gloss is a lot better the MFF which doesn't really add any gloss at all. I would...
I tried leathershield out last night. I ran into some issues. This is a brand new car with only 65 km's on it. I used Gyeon leather cleaner on the seats before using the coating.
First, I found that the block you wrap the suede cloth around is pretty much useless for car seats. There a way...
I was thinking of doing a second coat on the driver side seat only. Do yo know how long between coats? I wonder it's even worth it to do a second coat?
There are a few threads discussing CanCoat and I think I read in one of them that you can use multiple layers. Can anyone confirm if you can layer CanCoat or I'm I just wiping off the first layer when applying the second layer? If so how many hours between coats?
I totally agree. I wouldn't go over the 24 month mark. I would ideally want to do a polish and then apply a coating in spring, so I can enjoy the car over the summer. The 18 month mark would be right before going into the second winter, so there would be no point in doing a polish and coating...
I decided against doing that. I'm not going to polish it out after a year. I'll go the full life span of the coating. I suspect around 24 months and it will probably be close to it's end life by then. At that point I will probably do a full polish.
There is always the chance that if I like...
Thanks for all the input for everyone. Thanks Budget for all the additional info you provided.
I'm going to try out a coating once spring arrives. I need to try one out just to ease my curiosity. In the meantime I am hoping to try out CanCoat. We have a warm break in the weather right now...
Great info. Thanks. The retailer I purchase from said a similar thing. He thought that with our harsh winters that One may not be the way to go and I might be better of with Pure instead. Going with One and then adding a layer of cancoat right before winter may just be enough.
Great info as...
Yes I guess that question probably sounded dumb, but I just wasn't sure if simply losing beading properties meant that a ceramic coating has completely deteriorated. I guess if I were to do a chemical decontamination and the beading came back to life then the coating is probably still present...
I've contemplated trying out a coating and stumbled onto this product review. The idea of a 1 year coating appeals to me. I have some questions on maintenance and whether a coating is the way to go. I wash my car 1 to 2 times a week from the mid April to early October months. I've used...
I have a black car and I'm OCD as heck. I drive my wife crazy. Anyways, I live in a dusty and windy province so my car gathers a light layer of dust rather quickly. I do a lot of waterless/rinseless washes. Using a combination of both is the best method.
Here's the products I use:

Here is the picture I mentioned in the above post.
I got my hands on some Sonax perfect finish, so I'm going to try that with a few different pads just to see if it's possible to get the job done in 1 step without the haze/marring. Otherwise this will most likely be my combo going forward...
