Re: Mother's CMX CERAMIC SPRAY COATING
Please keep in mind coming up with a method of cleaning towels isn't simply finding a way that works for 1 person.
We have to consider water hardness (since it varies by area of the country), washer type (front load/top load/HE), detergent and more. What works in Huntington Beach CA may not work in Huntington Station NY. There are literally hundreds of variables that have to be tested. That's why it takes months.
Yes, we've been working on it. Believe it or not, it takes quite a while. You think locally, we have to think globally.
Imagine the beating we'd take on this forum if we gave a suggested cleaning routine and it didn't work - that's why, with all due respect, it's not done yet.
And don't even get me started on dryers.

Me too, until I started playing with these new SiO2 sprays. I dry on the delicate setting and I make sure to wipe down the dryer drum before drying. I had hoped I could get my towels back to accepting water if I washed a few more times with hot water trying to remove the SiO2/polymers but no luck. I can still use them for compound/polish removal, but not for QD, risnseless, or waterless jobs.

The towels then go from the bucket to the washing machine. So far, I've been able to do multiple applications with the same set of towels. I don't have many, so I have to make them last as long as possible.
I am in the process of testing different solutions for the ceramic kiss of death and whilst I’m still going, there is conclusive evidence that APC only mildly reduces the effects of ceramic on towels (softening), it doesn’t remove it sufficiently for reuse. ONR does nothing (sorry Optimum). The best results so far are d-limonene based products which stop the hardening process and allow the fabric to wash back to a perceivable ‘normal’.
Testing has been done using a full ceramic and applying directly, there is something to be said about lite ceramic products and towels only exposed to levelling and wipe of, but I tend to err on the side of caution so go with what stops the ceramic from hardening.

Re: Mother's CMX CERAMIC SPRAY COATING
I'm don't count on the APC doing much, but I through it in there for good measure. My guess, so far, is by keeping the towels wet, the product never dries and therefore disolves in the bucket. Since this product seems to be a coating "lite" type of product like CanCoat, I thought it was worth mentioning based on my success so far.
I wouldn't try the method I provided with a longer lasting, more traditional coating. I'll throw away the suede application swatches.

Simply keeping it wet doesn’t suffice with sio2. It will still harden, albeit slower. In my experience, the detergents in towel wash solution won’t break down the sio2.

Re: Mother's CMX CERAMIC SPRAY COATING
Is there a recommended “use by” or expiration date on this? Will it be sold in larger sizes eventually (i.e. 32oz or gal)?

Re: Mother's CMX CERAMIC SPRAY COATING
There is no expiration date. Longevity will be best if stored in temperate conditions. We may have larger sizes (gallons?) available eventually, but it won't be for a while, if at all.

So where can I buy it? I can't find it on any site?
