Thanks for your input! How would you approach this with the detailer when I've had a decon wash done through them every year at least once a year? I also regularly go back to them to hand wash the car. I'm definitely going to call and let him know that I don't think that Essence is the way to...

No worries! Yes, I'm a female but don't take any offense to people assuming I'm a male as I'm sure a majority of people on here are male.

Thanks for your input! The coating was done in 2021. I started to notice it failing at 1.5 years, but I had a baby in the NICU so a ceramic coating was the least of my concerns at the time. Still completely my fault for not notifying them sooner. I think on top of that, the car only has...

Thanks for letting me know your thoughts about Essense. I've honestly always taken my car to get washed. Mostly back to the installer's express location for a hand wash. Or, I have someone come to my house and do a hand wash (I've asked him about his method and products). I do wish I was...

Thank you for your input and all of this information. I'm going to call the installer and let him know that I've done more research and don't feel like the Essence Plus is the right way to go and try to go the wash/decon/re-top in the failing areas route.

Thanks for your input! I noticed the coating starting to fail around 1.5 years. I've taken it in for a decon wash 1-2 times every year. Here's more details on what their maintenance polish entails per their website: The perfect way to maintain or enhance your ceramic coated vehicle. We...

I've taken it to them 1-2 times a year at their "express" detailing location for the decon wash and told them this when I called yesterday. I think that's why they recommended the polish? I found some more information on their website regarding the polish. I'm a total newbie when it comes to...

I had ceramic coating done on my car 3 years ago. It started failing on the bottom half of the car and back (not sure if the back is due to airflow when driving) a year and a half after it was done. It's totally my fault for not notifying the installer at the time these issues arose, but due...

I have some very slight marks (about two or three) on my car. It has ceramic coating. I've done a little research and this seems like the best product for this case. How easy is the Essence Plus to use? I am very much a newbie to car care! I just don't want to make the area worse, as you...

I cropped the first ones to try and show the marks better. It's on the A pillar. Here are a couple more. Now I'm wondering if it's easier/better just to replace it? Thanks again!

Here are a couple photos! Thanks again for the help.

I'm out of town at the moment, but will post one when I'm back in a couple days. Thanks for your help.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience in cleaning up marks on windshield molding. I'm guessing the marks happened when I had a rock chip in my windshield repaired. No one else will probably notice them but me, but they're there! They're not deep like scratches, but more like rubs where the...

Good question! Haha. I've watched a few videos and like the three part method: first is a gentle pass, then with a little more pressure, then concentrating on more areas of concern like bugs etc. To be honest, this is the first time I've ever really had a "nice" car so I'm learning as I go! I...

Thanks for your input! ECHO has been ordered and is on the way. So my main reasons for wanting rinseless is because 1) it can rain here so often that I don't want to do a full wash each time and 2) I'm in a townhouse so I don't have much of a driveway. If I can rinse off the car beforehand...

Thanks, everyone. Maybe I'll try ECH2O first. So my main reasons for wanting rinseless is because 1) it can rain here so often that I don't want to do a full wash each time and 2) I'm in a townhouse so I don't have much of a driveway. If I can rinse off the car beforehand, would that be...

I recently had ceramic coating done on my car. Off of my last post, quite a few people recommended purchasing Ammo Frothe for waterless washes (thanks again for all of your help!). I'm in the Seattle area so keeping a clean car in the rainy weather is a difficult task. I was about to bite...
