Mother's CMX CERAMIC SPRAY COATING

We're trying to figure out how to care for the microfiber towels - right now I just toss them since they seem to repel water really well.

You'll be able to find it after February 1. AutoGeek would be a good place to start. Several retail chains are putting it in as well.

Yes, you can reapply it on top of itself, but I've seen no need to. The surface just needs to be clean and contaminant free.

I'll have to disagree with DBailey. These types of products are game changers, and I see a gradual shift toward them and away from carnauba based products. Early adopters recognize this, and the market will head that way over the next few years. I remember when no one knew what clay was, and now it's a mainstream product. The time frame for acceptance is shortening thanks to the connectivity of people and an embrace of technology.

Too pricey? Have you noticed how may $20+ products are on the shelf at your local retailer? The big chains are loving the increase in the consumers' marketbasket, and the gross profit dollars they generate. Profit percentages are nice, but it's the dollars that count. BTW, the average retail price for an appearance chemical is up 2.7% compared to last year at this time - folks are paying more for products.
 
Well, I do hope it sticks around. Its just that I've seen boutique and professional products added to retail shelves many times over the last decade and I can't think of too many that have stayed around. I see customers at those stores balk at anything over $10-12 a lot. I see the company Mother's as a company that survives on the OTC market sales and not the online retail sales. If its a good product it will survive at places like AG and Autopia, but that may not be enough incentive to keep manufacturing it. Look at how many time Meguiars has stopped making a forum favorite in the last few years. You could even add TW to that with the Enduro Tire Coating.

However, I don't think I have even seen what the price will be. I am just assuming it will be in the $30-40 range based on the rest of the like products out there. Albeit, this one sounds like it will be a much more substantial stand alone LSP more akin to something like Gyeon CanCoat.

Is this the 1 you’re talking about? I have this bottle but I’ve never tried it. Lol.

Looking forward to trying this out. I tend to like some Mother’s products.

I think core inflation is up a little over 2% in the US?

I hope Mothers sets the benchmark for a retail coating. Kudos to you guys. I definitely hear the term "coating" in more and more people's lingo. I just hope the market doesn't dilute the term too much. Which is why we need a good product to set the bar.

I've always considered a coating something that required polishing before reapplication. Meaning the surface, once cured, will reject additional layers. So I'm surprised you can reapply without. On the flip side it's very easy for a brand to say, "yes you must polish again" (and use all our prep products while you're at it) when in reality the product may not require it.

However even if this is just an advanced WOWA (wipe on walk away) I won't complain. Give me significant protection from bugs, bird bombs, waters spots, and grime for well over six months with an easy application at an affordable price and you can call it whatever you want. :)
 
Will this be sold In a gallon??

CAN it be used as a topper on other ceramics??

What’s your favorite method of applying it?

I just Foam it onto a microfiber applicator or towel and scrub. If it’s really grimey, like a steering wheel, I apply it directly to the surface and let the foam do its thing and then wipe.

I finally found some on eBay. I hate it when a good product gets discontinued, but I understand it. How many times do you deep clean your leather? My bottle has lasted me three years and I had 4 cars with leather interior during that time. I also follow up with Mother’s Revitalizing Creame, you can do a whole interior with a dab of that stuff. It really works best with unfinished leather or leather that has cracks and really needs moisturizing.
 
Forrest, how about you send a secret stash over to Autogeek now and then we buy it now, instead of on February 1st? Deal?

Yeah Feb 1st is way over to next year and we have immediate needs! Just mark the box “For Geeks Only”.
 
I’ll ask the Queen of production, but they have schedules set based on arrival of components, etc.

Its silver bottle is unique for us, so we have to wait for the bottle blower to make and ship them.

For maximum longevity you wash, clay and polish (as needed for defect removal), then do an IPA wipedown to remove any oils. Spray product on and buff. Let cure for 24 hours. Here are te actual directions from the bottle:

1.Begin with a clean, cool and dry surface.
2.Ensure the paint is free of any paint defects. You may need to clay and polish.
3.Remove any surface oils with isopropyl alcohol.
4.Working in small sections, sparingly spray CMX onto surface.
5.Buff with a clean microfiber towel.
6.If product drying occurs, reapply and buff while wet.
7.Allow product to cure for 24 hours.

It's not a ceramic spray booster, it's a coating - just in a spray form instead of liquid. The mainstream market has been moving away from liquids for a few years. Liquid sales are down 10% + year over year the past 3 years, while sprays are growing. We created our coating to have the ease of use of spray, but with a real ceramic coating life.

No plans for gallons in 2019 at present. If there’s demand that could change.

I’ve not tried it as a topper. Why would you want to top one ceramic with another?
 
It's the world we live in, a sacrificial layer to prolong the base coat. At the price point and the longevity it seems worth it.

I think it's HUGE that this new product is considered a stand alone and not just a topper. I've been waiting a long time for a true spray and wipe coating! I'm IN!!!
