I should have done a test. Got an old car here that doesnt work. Should have cleaned a panel and taped off 3 sections. 1st section leave alone 2nd use my saturated towel 3rd spray on a coat and apply with clean fresh towel It could bake in the sun for months and then do a simple visual water...

To reply to the comments yes, i used a ton of product. Several areas got treated 4 or 5 times in a row. My roof and hood have bad oxidation. Truck was washed and used a nanomitt. Thats another question. Will my highly oxidized rough areas on the paint wear down the nanomitt at a very fast...

After i finished doing the truck my towel used to apply the coating was pretty damp. Not soaked, but damp. My question is how much UV protecting coating is left in the towel? Is the liquid in the towel mostly the binding agent that has been slowly building up during the process? Or is it safe...

Hi everyone i just got done applying a spray on ceramic coating (hydrosilex) to a full size truck. This product is expensive and i dont want to lose a lot of liquid into the towel. So i find myself not changing the towel. Even though i know it must be getting dirty. I used 1 towel to apply the...

Depends on what combo youre working with. I have no garage, matched with no close neighbors. So i go crackhead style and wake up at 4am setting up shop lights.

Rock on thanks. Any opinions on using soap with the nano mitt? Seems like it would save money and time versus using a spray bottle and Glide over a huge trailer. But Glide must have much more lube.

I have a gel coat trailer with stickers. Still struggling to understand what i should do before applying a spray on ceramic coating. Plan was to buy a nanoskin mitt. How careful do you need to be on the lip of the sticker? Another question is nano mitt versus using a machine and cleaner wax...

Thanks so much for the information!! I saw Apex detail reviewed the Sonax Perfect Finish recently. All i dont own a DA or an air polisher. On the nano website they showed a guy using the air sander. That seemed like it would do the RV quickly and one handed standing on ladders. I want to buy...

Thanks for the replies. Might go with the 6" pad and an air powered sander. Thoughts? I dont have a sander yet. But seems like the lightest and quickest way.

I have some of that actually. The vehicle and boat wash. Thought i would need something more slippery for the clay or nano mitt?

Had a 3 question. Whats better the wash mitt or the 6" pad with the hand applicator? The 6" pad can serve both purposes. Unless theyre constructed different. Ive tried writing nanoskin twice over the last few weeks and never get a reply. So asking you smart guys!!!

Checking out the nanoskin wash mitt. Does anyone have experience using the bubble bath versus the Slick spray? Had some very basic questions because i dont know much about detailing. 1. I want to apply a coating to an RV and my truck. Plan is to hand wash real good, then use the nanoskin mitt...

To update the thread i sprayed water on the 3 areas that i applied the coating dry. At first i couldnt really see a difference at all. But after time the areas i applied dry seemed to have less water beading on them. Which makes me think it has a more effective layer of coating that is repelling...

I was rushed for time and wanted to squeeze in a car wash. Was at Lowes and they had this product for $5. Checked amazon and it has 4.5 stars so i bought it. Ended up washing an RV, full size truck and a SUV with soap. They advertise long lasting suds. Which i thought might be good for using...

Thanks the youtube guy i like to watch reviewed that HydroFoam as well in his "spray on coatings" series. The stuff looks like a great way to wash a lightly dusted vehicle and leave behind more protection than you scrubbed off. Unless you always remove existing coating, but are just adding...

At 3:33 he uses the foam cannon. YouTube

Yes a garden sprayer is another option. One negative is that i would have to dump $40 worth of product into the garden sprayer so it has enough volume. With the foam cannon you can attach the bottle of product directly. Or pour a few ounces into the bottle that comes with the cannon. To be...

Thanks for the replies. Using the foam cannon for speed of application. Imagine how many squirts from a spray bottle it would take to coat a 30 foot RV. Moving the ladder every 3 feet.

Yes the product i have is designed as a spray and rinse. Checked out the McKees Hydro and it looks like that stuff could also be applied with a foam cannon.

You add the ceramic coating into the foam cannon. Spray onto the wet vehicle and do a final rinse with clean water. The rinsing is what spreads the product. The foam cannon method does not use towels to spread and level. Even though the product can be applied dry with towels. Or you can spray...
