Thank you Pan! I have always wondered how long the coatings would last and what they could repel. A few of my cars have had professional ceramic coatings applied and lost some of the hydrophobic properties overtime, so I though the coating was gone. I am pretty sure it was due to my bad maintenance wash habits and not the coatings. those bad wash habits have no changed due to your videos! Thank you!

@PanTheOrganizer

Glad to help! And you are right. A good maintenance regimen is key. At least once every two or three months, once should do a good wash, possibly use a tar and iron remover, and finish with a coat of silica spray sealant to replenish the coating and ensure maximum durability and keep its properties top notch.

Finally, since when have I been waiting for such a subject approached by you ... Now I sit down and relax, after washing my car after a 2500km road!

Thanks Pan for giving an actual clear answer to the question! A lot of detailers leave us with more questions than answers in the end of their videos. If you can answer me question I will really appreciate it. Does an old wax that has remained on the car for 3-4 months needs to be removed with some process before you apply a new wax? They say that when you apply a second coat of wax you also remove the old one, so my understanding is I can wax my car every month if I wanted without using any process like special shampoos that claim this result. I also was very proud when I found out that you are Greek!

If you want to remove the old wax, there are what is called strip washes which help break down those waxes and sealants, they wouldn't do anything on this paint, and then when your rinsing car, keep an eye what it looked like when you did your pre rinse and see what it looks like after you strip wash to guage where your at. Also, you need to use only the strip wash because a lot of washes now have some sort of protection built into them, so if your looking to remove the old wax remember you dont wanna add new wax, even goes for clay bar, if your using a detail spray (which all clay lubes are basically a detail spray, you can do this on the cheap with many products, you might wanna re wash the vehicle again with the strip wash and be certain none of the detail spray adhered to the paint.

Great video Pan. I would not have thought that the ceramic coating could have withstood such abuse. Makes for a great selling point for people in future thinking about applying it to their cars. For professional detailers like many of us it makes for a much easier sell. Thanks!!

Good afternoon, Pan. Excellent video! Some conclusions that can be made based on the experiment: 1) The ceramic coating is resistant to several automotive cleaning products; 2) The "Carpro" products that were tested proved to be safe on surfaces with ceramic coating; 3) The water repellent properties improve with a ferrous, organic washing and decontamination process and removal of acid rain stains or water stains; 4) Compounds with a more acidic or alkaline pH can interfere with the water repellency of the ceramic coating. It is suggested that other methods are necessary to remove the ceramic coating, in this case, mechanical processes. Thank you very much for the video, Pan. It was very brave to test the products on this beautiful BMW!

No consumer grade coating will survive polishing or wet sanding. A professional grade 5+ year coating might, but that’s it. I hand polished a spot on my hood a month after applying cquartz and it completely removed it in that spot. But to answer your question after you polish just use an IPA wipe down and if it’s super slick then there might be ‘some’ protection left but if it’s a little grippy then there’s nothing there. If you rinse that panel and see zero beading or sheeting that’s also another way to tell

G'day Pan, I have now caught up with your videos. I'm glad it was your car and not mine that you did this chemical test on, as we both have the same ceramic coating (2 years old as well in Feb). The first few chemical tests was basically doing a chemical decontamination which was why the coating came back to its original form. Nice to know the coating can withstand a beating of chemicals, knowing this would not happen in reality. I finally got to chemically decontaminate my car and I used the Optimum Power Clean tip you mentioned before foaming the car, worked a treat. The decontamination brought back the hydrophobic properties like new, as did yours. I finished it with Turtle Wax Seal & Shine(new formula) as a topper. Compliments keep coming from neighbors. Thoroughly enjoyed the torture test. Ozz

Would you reccomend this as a possible step in reviving or deep cleaning a coated vehicle?

Thanks Jay! To answer your questions... 1) Not necessary. I would simply do a wash, iron remover, claybar, and start the polishing process. 2) To revive and deep cleaning a coated car, at least once every 6 months, you should wash the car, use a tar remover followed by an iron remover. Watch my 1 year update video on my coated car: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p5ho2amam9i5h9Y.html You wouldn't do exact all those steps on coatings that aren't as chemical resistant, but you get the big picture.

I think these coatings are great! I only found one thing (by accident) that can damage a coating - wheel and tire cleaner (strong commercial grade). I inadvertently splashed some on my own coated vehicle and found it an hour later. There were dull spots on the finish that I couldn't remove chemically. I went to the compound and pad to remove the coating mechanically and re-applied. Thank you for the realistic demonstration :) I think dwell time is a big factor - longer dwell more reduction in coating function.

Dwell time has zero effect on coatings like Opti-Coat Pro+. Thanks for watching!

Great video to show the durability of your ceramic coating. I was watching this to find a good product to clean a new car (right from the dealer) and also to clean my ceramic coated (Avalon King) mustang. Both are getting Gyeon Can Coat when done. Thank you for your efforts.

Hey Pan, Another stellar video. Before you decided to use your own car and a plethora of chemicals on the coating, did you discuss this with Yvan Lacroix (Opti)? The self healing properties of your coating are stunning. I knew the answer to the removal question, but it was great to see proof instead of taking someone’s word for it. Keep it up!

I didn't discuss with him before the test, as he had already told me when installing this coating on my car almost 2 years ago that Opti-Coat Pro+ had that pH 0-14 incredible chemical resistance, so I was quite confident coming into it. When I saw the surface being scarred by Super Clean, I spoke to him after the video was filmed, and asked if that was normal. That's when he told me not to worry about it, and that it was probably just some residue and that would eventually wash off and the coating would self-heal. And that's what I noticed a week later, hence the mini update clip in the video showing that the hydrophobics came back after a few washes.

@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for the response. The only thing I’d add is that the chemical effect might be cumulative. Each subsequent addition of the chemicals wears on the coating (even if followed by a pH neutral soap and rinse). It would weaken the coating. It just so happens that the coating that you have applied is stronger than the total (great for you). This might not be the case with some of the weaker coatings. Great topic Pan! Keep it up and stay safe.

Hi Pan, great video. It looks like I need to polish my coating off. I noticed a high spot. Thanks for the tip. It's right on my driver's door.

Another amazing video Pan! Thank you! Questions - so removing Ceramic coating off the paint has to be done mechanically. I'm assuming on Glass as well? How about Plastic Trim?? One of my cars I want to remove the current Ceramic by DA polishing, paint & glass and then reapply a different brand Ceramic Coating. Can I go over the the Ceramic coated plastic with a fresh coat of Ceramic without removing the current Ceramic coating on the plastic trim? Please let us know and as always THANK YOU for all the amazing content!

Great job Pan!!!

Hahah good to know! Yeah Yvan Lacroix, ex vice-president of Optimum, is a great person, over 30 years of experience in the detailing industry, and we even did a few videos together, including this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c5-clqWOlZWaoZs.html

I remember when Yvan Lacroix installed your coating. He said that Opticoat's coating resists all chemicals throughout the entire pH scale. If this was my car with 2 coats of Cquarts, the acid based wheel cleaner would have definitely taken it off if mixed strong enough.

@PanTheOrganizer

Yeah the Opti-Coat Pro+ has a claimed durability of pH 0-14. Not all coatings have the same chemical resistance, although all of them greatly surpass waxes and sealants. CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0 has a resistance of pH 3 ~14.

Pan. Huge fan. Love that you try these products on your own vehicle. Shows dedication. How do you wash your microfiber after using coatings? I put my towels in the wash and my apartment smelled like I just doused it in carpro reload.

@PanTheOrganizer

You never wash your microfiber towels used to remove/level ceramic coatings. You have to throw them away. Washing them won't remove the tiny particles of silica that will dry and form crystals once hardened, and will scratch your paint if you reuse them.

Pan you are my #1 go to!! Love your videos. I just applied the Avalon King DIY ceramic coating using your video as a reference and the car is awesome!! I haven’t washed it in 3 weeks. Several rain storms later it ilooks perfectly clean. All I need to do is dust it off! Great product. I do have a question. How do I apply another coat of the ceramic coating? I only applied one coat originally, but I’d like to add a second coat for longer protection.

Thanks for the kind words Isabel. Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on KZread as we surpassed 920,000 subscribers and we have over 120 million views! I have been detailing for 26 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing. I'm not sure what you do to "dust off" your car, but please don't use those dry dusters, or dry wiping with a towel. The best is to always wash the car. If you only have a very light layer of dust and don't want to wash, use a good quick detail spray and a plush towel and spray the surface, and gently wipe. You wouldn't want to cause scratches or swirls in the paint by dry rubbing. For your second question, you have passed the window to apply the 2nd layer. When applying the coating, you apply the first coat, wait 45-60 min, and then apply the second coat. And you have to let it cure for 48 hours before exposing the vehicle to water or rain, and wait at least 2 weeks before washing the car again. In your case, many weeks have past since your initial application, so at this point, it's unsure if a second layer would bond properly. What you could do is fully wash the vehicle. Dry it. Use the paint prep spray to wipe the surface free of any oils or residue. And then apply a new layer. Don't forget you have to let that cure for 48 hours without rain, and then again wait 2 weeks before washing your car again.

I knew the answer before watching the video, but I was shocked that you did this to your professionally coated vehicle as I was expecting it to be on a prosumer coating at end of life (e.g. wife's vehicle). I'm very impressed that the coating self healed. If it were my vehicle, I would've panicked and broke out the Opti-Seal and never known about the self-healing.
