Re: Coating lite all winter test.
Awesome test. I have used Moonlight multiple times and it holds up pretty well on my cars during the winter months. I am glad you added it to the line up, I don't think the age will effect it too much if it was stored properly and didn't harden.

Stored inside and. No crystals should be good to go.

On top of the Plasma coat. Couldn’t keep it dry for 7 days so figured i’d give it a little support.

Re: Coating lite all winter test.
Sprinkled today.... nothing exciting.
All looked very glossy but a couple of notes:
Plasma coat:
hit a little different. Don’t know if it’s true what the say about a carnauba look but definitely looked to have more warmth and depth.
Streaked. I mentioned i over apply and gave all a good solid buff but still streaked.
PBL Surface Coat
First off streaked. Musta over applied. Used 4 squirts on half a panel. With it feeling grabby at first over did it. My fault. Still felt slick. Definitely looks stout. In overcast sky you could see were tape lines were looked “thick”? Looked glossy like cQuK3.
Moonlight and Adams graphene:
Group these together as they both finished same. Maybe graphene a little slicker. No streaks. Both user (noob) friendly.

Note: i did in brake rotors and calipers but not paint or wheels.
I may polish in morning but may not as i feel it won’t hinder performance just looks and i’m not worried about that during winter with Covid won’t be going anywhere much.
Any thoughts by tomorrow 10am PST would be appreciated.

I've had the same experience with iron removers so far. Only time it turns purple is on the brake system and inside my rims.
I recently got a junk panel from a fire department exercise where they torn apart a dodge ram to save someone inside. The door panel was seriously trashed - i figure it was in the years since it was washed and serious defects. Before i started playing around with my polishers/pads etc i used an iron remover+clay. Not one single speck of purple. It was a waste of time. Clay made a lot of difference of course.

Re: Coating lite all winter test.
Any product that needs to stay dry for 7 days is a turn off.

Agree. 7 days is tough to accomplish on a daily driver.

Re: Coating lite all winter test.
Hey all just a heads up. Car was wrecked a couple weeks ago and insurance totaled out. Test over.
In the short time I had it on Tacs moonlight and Adams Graphene had the best beading and bead roll off at speed.
PBL beading was on par but at speeds could tell the beads of the other two sheeted off faster and i look at this as a indicator of self cleaning.
I definitely over applied and may not had complete wipe off. Also colder when applied so may have been user error.
As for Dr. PlasmaCoat..... I really wanted like this product.
It was old1-2 years i can’t remember but verified with Dr Beasleys it is good for 2 years after opening.
It only got 2 days before getting wet and instructions wanted 7. Also topped with Advanced coat gloss so could be that as well.
Beads were good but not as good as other 3 and sheeting of beads were way behind.
I may try this test again but knew hood is white and I don’t know how well it will photograph.
Thanks all

Re: Coating lite all winter test.
Sorry about the Mustang, that sucks. Sounds like you are OK though. Wishing you the best.
