As we know, the CarPro Lite bottle is enormous!

I took delivery of mine in April of 2022, and used it on several cars. I also did a lot of demo panels for my co-workers. It's been a great hit, and a lot of guys liked it.

I had planned on letting one of the guys use the rest of the whatever I had left on his car..

The problem is that when I went to use it, it was pretty stubborn ro remove. It was aittle sticky and grabby. I don't remember it behaving that way.

So, is this normal for a coating that's approaching the end of it's usable shelf life?

I really like that it's now being paired with a glass bottle. I'll be picking up another one of those bottles. I have to say that CarPro really did a nice job with that one. Tremendous value,and when used in it's window, a super easy to use, durable ceramic coating. Even with that pycarbonate bottle.

Shake the hell out of it, if it still feels sticky the carrying agents probably evaporated so toss it.

I would probably be all over lite if they made a smaller bottle! Then again i bought cancoat lol

How did you apply it? I have seen people put it in a spray bottle and use it like cancoat.

It’s done. About about 6-8 months it starts to gel up and become harder to use. At 1 year it will crystallize.

I really like the CarPro block/suede. I never even used the applicators that came with the kit.

That's what I was thinking. There maybe between a quarter and an eighth left.

Happened to mine. You’re better off buying a new bottle.
