Re: Review: 3D Paint Coating and 3D One Cutting Compound and Finishing Polish
Anyone try the 3D coating yet? Lease coming up this year, might give the coating and 3D One a whirl...

Re: Review: 3D Paint Coating and 3D One Cutting Compound and Finishing Polish
Used it last weekend on a year old, low mileage, white Tesla Model 3 after a full decon, quick polish with 3D ACA 520, and then 3D panel wipe.
Very easy to apply. Limit yourself to half a hood / half a door at a time size. Wait 30-45 seconds and then wipe off. Basically just follow the instructions. Paint is not slick but not grabby either. Rather neutral.
The wipe off is very easy. So easy I was not concerned about high spots in the least.
The coating did not add any visible gloss or much of the glassy look (at least on this car).
This car is garaged nights and weekends but sits out in the weather during the day and birds seem to like it too.
We'll see how long it lasts. I am most interested in how quickly water comes off the car and the overall self cleaning capabilities.

Thank you Mike for this product introduction/review and interview. I've been considering applying a ceramic coating to a my personal vehicle (or my wife's beast of a Buick Enclave).
Trying to research and going over coatings, information, this, that, and whatever....
The amount of information combined wit all the opinions is mind-numbing.

That's my kind of sales person. NO B.S. or fluff.
I agree. I've shared how VALUABLE it is to get info from the chemist behind any brand all my online life. Sometimes it's appreciated, sometimes it's not.

Yeah wheels are a pain but from my experience - if you like your car to look clean and shiny all the time and you want to make cleaning your wheels faster and easier after the initial hard work -the "yes" a coating is worth the work.

Mike - Do you think the 3D Ceramic Coating can be sprayed with an airbrush for wheels and intricate areas?

I would guess probably - you would want to contact 3D and try to buy in bulk packaging.
Next time I talk to Tunch I'll ask him.

Mike in the compound video there was mention that 3D One may not need a prep wipe prior to applying the 3D coating. I do agree that 3D One is oil heavy maybe the correct word would be lubricant heavy which is why I have used a panel wipe to remove it.
Could Tunch confirm that 3D One needs or doesn't need a panel wipe prior to the 3D coating.

I'll check, other people have asked this same question.
