I applied DIY’s Interior Ceramic to probably every nook and cranny inside my few days old Model Y black interior. Cleaning the interior is super easy now n days, I get a lil carried away and still apply it every 2 weeks on front seats, dash & screen, but to be honest there’s no need. I just received the Ceramic Gloss and can’t wait to use it tomorrow. Keep up the videos Nick & Ivan, can’t get enough of em

Fully agree with the use an applicator approach, but can't make myself use the full sized block. I've had great success with the mini and finger mitt saver applicators - easier to get into tight spaces, use less product by keeping it on the surface of the applicator, and they are washable and reusable.

The DIY Detail Interior Ceramic Coating is not a cleaner, but true ceramic protection for your interior.
Seems like a great product, but the price keeps me from buying. Every time I break down and accept the price ($50 a bottle) and go to buy, the shipping kicks me back to not buying. $16 for shipping makes this a $66 bottle. With no other real place to buy (a single seller on amazon has it for $60), i find myself looking for alternate products. Think of the sales if this was a $35 product....

@diydetailofficial : New car and just learned about interior ceramic coating. I got some diy detail interior ceramic and did the car this past weekend. Worked great! I just picked up a new adhesive magnet mount for my phone and I stuck it to the vinyl dash, but after 3min of holding it in place tight, it just peeled right off. I guess this interior ceramic really works! (I know some people dont like adhesive mounts, but this will be my 4th car with them and i really like it) So what I need to do next is remove the coating from just this small 2x3in section so I can put the mount on and then re-coat next to it. What's the best way to do this without damaging the vinyl on the dash?

A few things, first yes DIY Detail Interior Ceramic Coating will protect, and for much longer. Secondly, unless you drive a convertible, or leave your windows open all the time there’s actually litte UV getting in your vehicle. Automotive glass blocks almost all UVA rays and a high percentage of UVB. Protection is never a bad thing, but it’s not as critical as some marketing will have you believe.

Just received a bottle of your interior ceramic and have to say this product has a nasty smell to it! I'm not debating interior ceramic benefits and realize are many other companies selling similar products, but this stuff should come with serious warnings on the packaging to wear not only hand protection, but a respirator. SiO2 is not kind to our lungs, and is not only a risk to the detailer, but to the vehicle owner/family with off gassing for days afterwards. And I think companies that market their products to DIYers, not professionals, have an even larger responsibility to ensure safety, or at least give reasonable warnings.
