Hello,

I was mislead by a sales associate to apply glaze (Chemical Guys Wet Mirror Finish) before ceramic coating (Chemical Guys Carbon Force). I found out this is a no no after reading stuff in internet.

My car is brand new. The process was to wash several times without touch. Then do the final wash with the mitt. Apply clay bar and then Chemical Guys Wipe Out to clean the surface. I then applied the glaze and finally the ceramic coating.

Is the ceramic coating not gonna stick?

Will it fall off within a few months?

Or something worse will happen?

Thanks in advance gor your help.
 
First...

Welcome to AutogeekOnline! :welcome:


You are correct and the sales guy was un-informed or misleading. :dunno:

Now that the process is done, you have nothing to lose in my opinion than to drive the car and pay attention to the finish. Most coatings bead water really well. If after a few washes you see the water beading diminishing this "could" be a sign the coating is simply coming off because it didn't make a proper bond. It could also mean it's not a super water beading coating - so hard to say.

IF the water beading continues strong for months - it probably had enough solvent in the coating to enable the coating to BITE onto the paint regardless of what was on there.


If it were me, I'd drive the car and enjoy it.

Next time, follow the proper process.

For what it's worth...

I did something similar on purpose. Here's my article,

This is a leased car and it's been a learning experience. We have our new SUV coming in a few weeks. I'll do that one justice :) Thanks for the feedback.
