Like the title suggests, I am considering using an exterior coating on interior Piano black trim. My new GTI has an acre of Piano black trim on the center console. Its not a reflection hazard. I know from experience it is super easy to scratch and swirl and would like to put some protection on...

Have you used both Phobic and quartz? If so, what was your impression on appearance differences? One big gripe with quartz is not being able to tell how much is left in the bottle.

Thanks for the feedback. I should mention that I plan to Polish using Koch Chemie m302 and likely a yellow rupes pad. I was very happy with it on my maverick. I know its different paint, but the GTI is basically defect free, and the GLI has been very well cared for, just a few water spots and...

Hi all, I now have two white cars that need to be coated. A 2025 GTI in Opal white pearl, and a 2023 vw GLI in the more standard white. I know white isnt the most responsive color to coatings, but I know that the right paint protection will add a glass look, and others silky. I know there are...

First wash and dirt just slid off. Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to the maverick. (The seats absolutely destroyed my back. ) So no longevity updates. I did pick up a pearl gti so I am going to be coating that in the (hopefully) near future.

Something I forgot to mention yesterday, the visual signal to wipe of the coating was almost non existent. I could not make out the sweat beads on that paint. Also, now that is has cured, it looks SPECTACULAR. I did miss a small section on the rear bumper, but I think I can just go over it at...

No idea honestly. I did all of this at my friends house. His driveway is very steep, so I am guessing its for looks and traction. Thankfully he has a garage, lighting and everything I needed.

Hi all, I recently purchased a 2025 Ford Maverick in Sand. I was planning to ceramic coat the car I traded in, so I luckily had almost everything I needed to quickly lock in that new car goodness. First, let me say thank the lord the weather was PERFECT. Low 70s, low humidity, and clouds to...

If I can apply it at the beginning of each season and it lasts until the next, im happy. Like I am hoping this application lasts until early September.

How long have you gotten out of c6? Im hoping for a seasons worth.

Hi all, This weekend I plan to apply c6 Matte dash to my new maverick. I want to give it the best chance of adhesion. I have a few interior cleaners to choose from and im wondering which makes the most sense in terms of residue etc. Should I follow the clean up with a damp microfiber to...

I appreciate the feedback! I've actually decided to just use Rain X. Ive seen a lot of folks claim that it lasts just as long as some of the coatings ive used, and for 10 bucks, why not try it. I can always polish and apply something else later. My main goal is just to get the water beading...

Non Pro. Just what is available to the average person. Got it on sale recently.

Hi all, I just picked up a Sand color Ford maverick. I was able to prevent the Dealer from washing it, and the paint is close to pristine. I want to keep it that way. I took it straight to the local pay and spray and did a bucket wash and used a spray coating as a drying aid. (Glassparency...

Hi Klasse, I have a brand new Sand Maverick and a bottle of ADS Quartz. I tend to over think things and have been watching videos on it and one person said it was tacky/harder to remove. How was your experience? I've applied coatings before, but not many. I wouldnt say im Skilled at it. How...

Update: I think I am downgrading my opinion on the adams coating. It clogs SUPER easily with Polen and dirt. To the point where after a bad week of pollen I had to claybar my windshield to get the coating back to 80% of what it was before the pollen. It also doesnt seem to do a good job making...

Ive tried a few APCs. IMO this is a gentler cleaner. Its meant to be safe on sensitive materials, but still does a good job cleaning. I wouldn't expect it to replace APC, but that is purely my own opinion/speculation since i haven't tried them side by side.

Thats completely fair. 95% of my use is maintenance, so i keep 15:1 in a bottle and make up a special batch if and when i need it.

Hmm that rules out P&S and DIY for sure. I think given everything and my past experiences with Adams, I will probably go that route. Worst case i can alway top with BC3 which makes the car look like candy.

Hi all, Let me start off by saying KC is one of my favorite brands, so I am a bit biased here. Pol Star is the fabric/textile/leather cleaner from KCX. it has a dilution between 1:20 and 1:5 depending on soiling. . It works well on textiles, helps with odors, and cleans well. I like the...
