    Re: Mother’s CMX is here!

    As promised here is a quick walk around of the car, you can see the bug splatter trails as well in a few places on the hood as the water left streak trails.

    So what's your overall arching opinion of it?

    Mine changed after the first wash. Fresh it went on great and stood up to rain just fine. Took it through a touchless wash like I do most of the time with our other vehicles and with those that have TRUE coatings on them, the water beads tight like day one. Granted these are higher end coatings but still.

    With CMX it performed more like a typical sealant than a coating. I took it through yesterday and then rinseless washed the truck in my garge and applied a third layer. Time will tell. I'm okay with it acting like a sealant for the price and ease of use but that's the category it's standing in now. I'm not much for spray on sealants to say if others are better. That said, PNS is still something I may end up applying to it next.

    Re: Mother’s CMX is here!

    I'm a drying aid kinda guy, I get so busy that I basically live by touchless washes and then I'll do a throughout cleaning maybe every quarter. So I coat them for the best UV protection and then when I do hand wash I using a drying aid and I think CMX and HCW will for the bill great. I normally use PNS which is stronger and beads better and does act as close to a coating as a sealant can get.

    For customers I think HCW is the easiest and best choice for a hand wash and drying aid. Easy to apply, great shine, nice beading, keeps the car clean, windows repel water, and hopefully last at least 3 months

    Interesting, is it possible theres some surfactants left from the wash that's inhibiting the behavior?

    I just went through a touchless and my PNS is still beading on my half panoramic roof and windshield I applied to. I'm planning on using N914 at panel wipe dilution and applying half CMX and PNS to roof, hood and rear windshield.

    I have had some touchless leave behind the wax or rainx they apply and make water behavior change until after a couple of rain showers.

    Not likely as I took both cars there regularly and never have issues. It's just the difference in CMX versus GYEON products

    Ok thank you. I just finished doing my car. Did half in PNS and half in CMX. Will start a new durability thread.

    CMX does go on easy and easy to remove. Left surface slick. Hoping to try it out in snow and rain tomorrow

    Applied a second coat of CMX. It will be raining all week next week, so let see how the water acts. It will be sitting in the garage until Monday.
