I heard you say you are on one of the CT forums. Do you ever post on there? I've never seen anything, and your knowledge on the Cybertruck could help a lot of people. Nice job on the videos!

Hello. I put metal ceramic on my Cybertruck last weekend, it worked great really happy with the results. This weekend I washed it with rinse less wash, and wanted to apply ceramic gloss. It came out pretty streaky and splotchy. Did I use too much perhaps? How can I fix?

Did you follow the instructions on dilution ratio of 256/1? Too much can cause streaks especially on a cybertruck.

@@diydetailofficial I think so, 4 caps into my bucket. I think the streaks came after the ceramic gloss. Appreciate the reply.
Hey man just a quick question about your DIY detail iron remover. Is it safe for use on older rubbers and plastics? I have a 1997 toyota corolla and the current iron-removing clay lubricant that i have hasnt been the nicest to my cars exterior rubbers and trims. When i checked the bottle later it said "not to be used on older plastics"😂😅. so i am looking for an alternative that is safe for older vehicles too.

Do you have any recommended detailers in the Austin, Texas area that use your detailing principles, methods, and products? I'd like to keep the stainless steel look if possible.

@@diydetailofficial 1 more question, how long does the metal ceramic work? Is it more resistant if you put, let say after a week, the 5y ceramic on top of the metal ceramic? (I guess that the normal ceramic will bond to the metal ceramic and stronger then a wax) It's not for a car, but for high-end interior objects finished with non-ferrous metals. Want to give them the highest protection against fingerprints, little scratches, liquids with acids (like white wine) 🙏🏼
Can we use wheel acid to wash
@diydetailofficial

I would not
So I have water spot remover, panel prep, and iron remover. Will that be enough to remove everything off my paint in order to apply my ceramic coating? I know there is a spray wax on my car

To remove all vestiges of the wax ideally you will polish.
@gabrielnolan18

so even with all clean on top of all the other chemical decon, there will still likely be some of the spray wax left on the paint that would interfere with the cross linking of the ceramic coating?

Their stock is so beat down but they have 2 million trucks preordered, new models coming, highest margins and the least debt of all car companies. It takes balls to short that stock and risk falling in front of that freight train full of cybertrucks.
