Carpro Dlux, wrong date???
Hi, I received this week on my Autogeek order the Carpro Dlux that I plan to install in the next few weeks, by the way, awesome packaging and fast shipping from Autogeek. My 2 questions are
1) Dlux bottle says Pr. (I assume that is the manufacturing date) 10 07 20, so the format date is dd/mm/yy???
I guess so cause we are not in october yet.
2) the Ex date is not there so I dont know what is the expiration date, does anybody know how long it lasts without opening??? and then also how long after opening???
Please refer to pics attached

As long as it’s not crystallized it’s fine.
This is why I order coatings directly from the coating manufacturer as they tend to sit in the shelves of distributors for awhile.

I noticed the bottle I purchased recently only had the manufacture date too. I've had a bottle last for more than a year after opening in the past if that helps at all.

So you think that printed there is the expiration date?

And you think the month comes first or the day comes first?

Based on my bottle of Reload, it is day/month/year

Definitely dd/mm/yy like most of the world uses and not US format.
Made in July so it’s pretty fresh. Good for about 2 years, once opened about 1 year but I have used it well past one year after opening and it was fine. Since it’s primarily used for trim I didn’t care if it wasn’t “fresh”.

And if this is your first time using Dlux, don’t let the fact that it’s very sticky to remove make you think it’s old coating. The high content of SiO2 in this coating makes it hard to level, you’ll want to spread it as evenly as possible and not wipe a lot to level it. On textured trim you don’t even need to level it. Only required on smooth trim, plastics, and wheels.

Im going to apply it on 2 cars on trim and wheels, the videos Ive seen they level the wheels but really dont look like they are wiping a lot so I imagine it kinda self levels?
