Wolfgang Coating Questions.

[Mike Phillips]

The Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Paint Coating is without a doubt one of the easiest and most Bubba-Proof coatings you can use. The key is really more about getting the paint perfected to your level of expectations before stripping the paint and applying the coating.


I just coated to large dark colored cars, a black Range Rover Sport and a dark blue Audi Q7 and in my opinion, after doing all the prep work and before actually applying the coating, the most important thing for me was to have lots of MF towels for the chemical stripping process.

Just wrote an article about this too...

How many microfiber towels does it take to coat a car? (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-mike-phillips-your-detailing-questions/102897-how-many-microfiber-towels-does-take-coat-car.html)

I have also posted this article to my Facebook Notes Page (https://www.facebook.com/Mike.PhillipsAG/notes)...

And here's my how-to article for applying this product.

NOTE: I teach the "Buddy System" for chemically stripping the paint. Real handy if you have a buddy available. By using 2 people to wipe each square inch of the body the chances of 100% polishing oil and residue removal is pretty much guaranteed.

Sorry for the delay, haven't been on AGO lately. Been busy with life, work, golf, bowling, BBQ, sausage making, etc... I have a lot of hobbies. And yes Cooking is a major one, always doing something in the kitchen or outdoors with my grill, smoker, deep fryer. But I haven't neglected my ride!

Yes, I did get it done. Did it in the beginning of July. Everything went pretty smooth.

1. Wash

2. Clayed with Pinnacle Fine Clay. Was my second time using this clay. First time was last October about 2 months after I bought the car, and when I gave it the baggie test it needed it again. I really took my time with it, one panel at a time. Clayed, baggie test, clayed again until I felt nothing with the bag. Trust me the paint was clean.

3. Polish. I tested the Wolfgang Finishing Glaze with a white pad, on the trunk lid as it was the part with the most problems, from the dealership "prep". It took care of it, so went on to do the entire car with this combo. That stuff is amazing. I have some pics I will post as soon as I can remember how to. Mirror finish.

4. Wipe down with Wolfgang Perfekt Paint Prep. Very easy to work with. The smell OMG, I wanted to put some rum in it and drink it!

5. The coating. Went good, was nervous since it was my first paint coating. Had to redo the hood since a few high spots were there. I thought my lighting was good, I now know better next time. One small high spot in the front center of the roof. That was easily taken care of.

My opinion of this coating, once again my only experience of coatings, is top notch. At first was unsure, it looked great. IMO a lot glossier, and depth then the WDGS and Fuzion combo that was on it. The metallic really pops, and it truly does look like it has a layer of shinny glass on it. After 7 days I went to wash it, that's when I really noticed, water just beads and runs like hell, almost as if it is scared of this coating.

After that wash I went 2 weeks without washing it just to see if some of the claims are true. At 2 weeks the car was still cleaner that it would normally be at the 1 week mark. The car goes through the same routine every week, and is only out of the garage for 8-9 hours a day during the work week. As of Aug 1st, I have owned it for 1 year and only got 6500 miles on it.

So in my book Wolfgang Uber Coating is a winner!

On a side note I have had a good number of people comment on it, it gets a lot of looks. They ask "What kind of wax do you use?", when I tell them there is no wax on it, and explain the ceramic coating some look at me like I am full of something! LOL

As soon as I can remember how to post pics again I will.
