The love of a coating....and why.

[nubaseal]

Looks have nothing to do with coatings....I ran my car over 20 times through my local touchless car wash last winter. The car looked flawless after every wash and come spring I had no need to do my annual spring maintenance polishing. I love love love my coating too. In fact I don't use the two bucket wash anymore. I power wash it, then foam cannon, power rinse again, and final wipe with waterless wash as I dry. Done.

That sounds like the coating I need then. Which one is it?

Outside of people that frequent detailing forums like AGO...

I wonder what % of people there are that even knows there are such "raging things" as car-care products that are called Coatings...instead of Waxes and, perhaps: Sealants?

I try to educate them every time I inspect a car or talk to a potential client. I think cost scares a lot of them, but you have to explain that cost over the life of the car and or the coating.

I don't use a coating and still do the same thing, even a step less. I don't pre-power rinse. I foam, power rinse and Prima Hydro as I dry. My car is a daily driver but I do live in SoCal where the weather is not harsh.

What soap do you use with your cannon? I use Bilt Hamber Autofoam.

I love my coating as well, and I have coated both my car and my wife's car. Not only does the gloss look exceptional, but cleaning each car is so much easier now!

I've had Gtechniq C1/EXOv2 on my Tesla and recently put on 22PLE. My wife's car has PBL -- extra coats! (Longevity remains to be seen with the PBL; I've had bad luck with that one.)

There's over 14 million new vehicles sold in just the USA each and every year. This doesn't count the used vehicles in America (over 100 million)
Just think: This doesn't even begin to take into account the rest of the World's car ownership!!

Along with other detailers around the Globe:
How many of these vehicles' owners do you think gets educated in regards to Coatings?


Coatings are now "the rage".
Not hardly, IMO.

Coatings are amazing!
