Re: Mother's CMX CERAMIC SPRAY COATING
What’s the general consensus on topping HD Speed with CMX?

I was afraid someone was gonna say that. LOL! I’ll wait until after the rain tomorrow night. I want to see how Speed reacts with water.

I'm almost at 1 month with no issues with CMX on bare paint and i did a panel wipe before. Just to ensure it bonded.
I would love to do some family cars with an AIO like speed or 360 and top with CMX.

OK, I did it this morning. ISO wipe down, and applied a coat of CMX over hd speed. Truck looks just as shiny and glossy as ever. I'll try not to do anything other than washing it after rain, etc. but I can't promise anything.

Not really sure. The beading is incredible the first time it rains or gets wet.
After that, not as good and it degrades each time it gets wet.
I washed it a few times and used Ech2o as a drying aid, and QD spray, so I think the results are compromised.
Today I washed it and gave it a coat of Griots Garage Polywax by hand and it looks incredible.
Beading not as tight or uniform as CMX, but the gloss and look is far better.

Wow this replicates my results! Looks great and feels great, amazing water behavior the first and second rainstorms, than compared to PNS, no tight beads and not hydrophobic.
I'm hoping Forrest from Mothers can chime in, or I may even call Mothers and see what the issue might be.
It does seem to be doing great on my front windshield still.
Big disappointment for a ceramic, since I think even Megs UQW does better lol.

I think I’m going to use the rest of the CMX on the Harley, and stick with HD Speed with a da polisher, and I’m going to pick up some Griots Garage BOSS Carnauba wax.
I’m not too worried about durability since I can’t help but wash and wax/coat every few days or so.
