I'm a little surprised to hear Hydro Lite is only a six-year coating. I thought it was considered semi-permanent. I'm sure we will get more details in the future.
@tier1detailcompany

@cgraham6 often times there's a disparity in coating durability claims. It is the difference between total life, meaning how long the coating will remain on the vehicle and effective life or how long the coating maintains its properties. I believe the 6 year claim is the effective life for C6 ceramics. This is actually very good for a light coating. Hope this helps

Great job as always Yvan! You’re a great teacher. My wife purchased a 2023 BMW x5 hybrid last August. That’s when I got into the detailing rabbit hole. I’ve been the only one to touch the vehicle as far as washing/detailing it. I haven’t used your products specifically but would like to try the HydroLite ceramic coating. It is a daily driver but doesn’t really go through a whole lot of abuse aside from the occasional road trip. It had received a few rock chips on the hood and a small scratch on the drivers side front fender from a parking flag. Would I want to repair those first before using this process? We don’t have a garage but rather a carport. Can I apply this outdoors? I really don’t think it needs and paint correction and I don’t want to mess up her paint clear coat. I think this was the most instructive video to date. Any thoughts, advice, precautions? I also would like to break into the industry as a career change but need some coaching. I’m located in Northwest Arkansas and see it as a potential booming market. Again, appreciate all you and Nick do at DIY Detail.

Great overview of so many parts of the product line! Question for Yvan -- are high spots with Hydro Lite application as easy to find on a white or lighter paint car as much as they're easy to see on a black or darker car?

@diydetailofficial

We only use DIY Detail Tree Sap Remover if there is tar present.,
I like to work in the evening and apply the APP and then wait until the next day to apply the coating. Is it best practice to apply the APP and then wipe it off before stopping work for the evening? OR Is it better to leave the APP on the vehicle overnight and then wipe it off the next day (about ten hours later), right before applying the coating?
