Re: CERAKOTE enters the Auto Ceramic Coating Market
The slickest coating that I've ever used and the easiest coating that I've ever used. 2 months in, couldn't ask for better beading.
IMO we have a lot of user error with the YouTube detailers

That's great to hear.
What were the errors?

Not sure of the exact error(s), but the first problem that I see is the car wash process itself.
The youtubers are so busy trying to promote products they'll use 2 or 3 different chemicals just trying to do a simple car wash. There's a very good chance this is causing a film to develop on top of the coating. This will cause water to sheet instead of bead.
If I were them I would clay the paint after washing and see if that fixes the problem.
If it doesn't then it's either in their prepping process or the application of the product.

Interesting.

Re: CERAKOTE enters the Auto Ceramic Coating Market
I hope the new version has all of the kinks worked out. I ordered a free bottle when v1 was released and just received my bottle today. I’m hesitant to put it on a car because the last thing I want to do is redo a coating because of a subpar product.

I guess you had a bad experience with it.
In what way?
Mine is on its way 1st time user.
It's taken awhile for v2 so I would assume things have been ironed out.
Keep me informed.

Never used it but the consensus on YT is that it overpromised and underdelivered. I don't put much into YT detailer videos but even the CEO admitted to having some issues with the original formulation.

Yep saw those as well.
Some people says it still performs well and haven't had a problem with it. I use YT as a guide not the final decision always.
The CEO fronted which was good.
I think they would have done some quite tweaking they took awhile to release v2.
