    Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

    That's exactly what I'm going to do per what Autogeek customer service recommended. Work for only 10-15 secs and wipe as needed only. I contacted Pinnacle directly for more tech support but just was forwarded to voicemail and haven't heard back.

    Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

    Note that I worked the product until it disappears like the instructions say....but the issue is the high spots don't go away! They just become super hard and I need to apply more product to get them off. I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area. So it's been in the 60s and dry when I'm applying. I...

    Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

    A gotcha, nice way of putting it like a quick spray wax. I'll try it like that with MF and not the form applicator that is recommended.

    Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

    Thanks much for your feedback and sharing your experience. It sound like you move very fast around the car. I can envision you just touching every surface of paint quickly and moving along, not really working it into the paint. Is that right? Have you had trouble removing the high spots you...

    Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

    AG support said the product isn't old and that I should work the product less in a smaller area.

    Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

    I'm not sure, I'll contact Autogeek support and see if they can decode how old the product is based on the number stamped on the label.

    Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

    So I've been using the Surface Coating on my 2018 BMW X2 Blackout Edition (black black and more black). Specifically I've applied it to the roof at this point. I must say the gloss and slickness are great! Dare I say better then the rest of the vehicle that is coated with CarPro CQuartz...

    Did I miss the video of you applying the surface coating? I'm having some trouble with it and wanted to see the master in action. :)

    Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

    Interesting Bruno, is CQuartz grabby like I said without Gliss? I currently have Reload on top of it per CarPro's recommendation. I don't think I'd want to spend the money on Gliss at this point. If I was going to do anything I'd strip the Reload and apply PBL Surface Coating. My car budget...

    Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

    Mike first and foremost thanks for taking all the time to share your knowledge and experience with me, or shall I say wisdom? :) I get your jabs about YouTube and Facebook. Facebook is not the place to share detailed info for sure. YouTube yes but in video form only it can be hard to get all...

    Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

    I haven't had any luck getting Pinnacle to answer my questions (disappointed in their customer service to be honest). I'm posting here in the hopes of getting answers. "I wanted a bit of technical info that isn’t published on your site related to Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Surface Coating...

    Microfiber towel Lint

    Do you have link to the Zep towels? I'm not finding anything searching around. I deal with lint all the time with MF and it drives me NUTS.

    Protecting Headlights - Clear coat & PPF Film?

    Just throwing it out there, have you considered applying Optimum OPTI-LENS COATING instead of PPF? Are you move worried about physical damage or UV?

    Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

    Is the primary use of Diamond Surface Coating to go on top of other coatings or as a stand alone? Seeing the product page has a stated life of up to 3 years on paint I was thinking it would be a great stand alone product. It's expensive but seems more versatility and easier to use them other...

    Ech2o leaving film used as rinseless

    My understanding per the videos I've watched from Carpro this is normal. Do a search on YouTube are Ech2o and watch the one from CarPro. Note in the video they are using it as a waterless wash not rinseless.

    Meguiar's vs Lake Country Microfiber Pads

    I just wanted to let everyone know CarPro has a nice chart of various pads rated on their cut and gloss. It directly compares most of the pad I mentioned here so I thought I'd share. You can find them: Skys the Limit Pad Cut Chart Pad Gloss Chart

    Menzerna Heavy Cut Compound 400 Question

    The Meg MF Cutting pad is less aggressive then the LC Cutting so in theory you should be able to finish down better. The HC400 goes along ways so perhaps you are just using too much product. When I've used the Meg MF pads they seem to get overloaded fast so I'd minimally prime the pad and...

    Menzerna Heavy Cut Compound 400 Question

    Over the weekend I was finally able to the use HC400 with a Lake Country MF Cutting pad. I couldn't believe how well it finished out with a MF cutting pad. Beyond the results I was pleased on how easy it was to wipe off and the little to no dusting I had. Great product to be sure!
