Review: Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Spray Coating

Tried this over the weekend.
Polished with Meguiars 205, twice.
Went over it with the WG Paint Prep
Applied the spray coating.
My thoughts are I was using WGPS 3.0 and find that this gives a better shine. I didn't notice any difference with the Spray Coating whatsoever, actually totally disappointed.
I was looking forward to looking at moving over to coating lite products.
Tried Mother's last year and in comparison shine wise was far superior.
Car - Nissan Fuga GT Black
If anyone can tell me what I did wrong please let me know.
 
Your process looks sound. Did you allow product to flash (rainbow effect)? Did you use enough product (2-3 sprays per 2x2 section?

If so maybe just not glossy enough for you? Product is new and not a ton of reviews.


I like to have the latest and greatest.... but sometimes having something tested and true is all you need.

I’m beginning to wonder if WG Paint Prep that I own is doing it’s job. I drench and heavy wipe, then I come back with a light spray and wipe and still seem to have issues with some applications. It doesn’t mean it’s the paint prep’s fault, but it’s at least in the back of my head now.

BTW, DGPS is about as shiny and sparkly as any product I’ve ever used. It’s hard for things to be much better than it.

Sounds like you did everything right to me.

But your above process sounds sound.

Ok thought ceramic was suppose to out do anything else as far as gloss/glassy? Thought it would be better than Mother's.
You are right re: newest and greatest, and I also bought x 2 packs (coating, prep, micro fibre towels). Thought being Wolfgang should be good. Currently using all Wolfgang.

Have another car to do so will see how it goes.

Thanks for your reply

That's what I think too something going on. Can't put finger on it.
Interesting WGPS, I put it on my mates car Nissan Fuga (White) he was blown away by the shine (white) first of all, then the performance. His other friends wondered what he had done to it. So he was interested when I told him about the coating. Haven't shown him yet due to lockdown.

Thanks for reply

It does and some other reviews say it’s glossy. I think Acura’s on to something because he didn’t get stellar performance either. Something up with paint prep.

Also it’s not like Gyeon Cancoat where you can spray on wipe off. It needs time to flash

Yeah that's what I thought.
Could be the prep, cause if the reviews get different results in theory it's not the coating.
I have emailed Andre regarding this.
I tend to buy more than I need, freight and taxes kill the price. I buy gallon size where applicable.
Really hope can get to the bottom of this. I want to move over to lite coatings, not full coatings.

Thanks for reply.
 
Wolfgang don't seem to think there is any problems, so wondering maybe I could do the following.
Prep the paint with the Perfekt Paint Prep then lay down another coat?
Car has been sitting in the carport for 5 days now, hasn't been outside at all since then.

If you have IPA or any other type of prep spray/polish, try a bit of that with CSC applied after and compare to the WG Paint Prep’d application?
 
Not sure I have IPA, went away from that wanting to use prep products.
Going back to work tomorrow but will try on the weekend.
Will IPA do anything to the coating?
What about Wolfgang Paint Enhancer, or 3M polish?
Quite surprised at Andre reply.

IPA might weaken the already applied CSC. If you polish first, IPA will prep the surface to be squeaky clean... just an alternative to WG Prep Spray if you wanted.

WG Paintwork Enhancer will weaken/degrade CSC and won’t leave a clean surface, so no point.

3M Polish should remove CSC and won’t leave a clean surface, so no point unless you want to remove, re-prep with prep spray and then re-apply CSC.

Ok will look for, think I might have something like Prepsol?

I *think* prepsol would work similar to IPA. To clean the surface from oils. I don’t think it’s going to remove existing CSC.

That's my impression of it too. It's what I used before I sprayed to clean grease etc off.
I stopped using it because I saw somewhere how it can soften certain paints so I went over to the paint prep products.

I’ve read about prepsol and some people here use it. I’ve never used, so maybe others will chime in.

I have Prep-All here at the AG Garage. Don't use it much as it really stinks and I'm not one that's bothered by foul odors but this stuff reeks.

If you want a strong panel wipe, take a look at the GTechniq Panel Wipe or get some Mineral Spirits.
