I am the same. I say "I never choose my words by accident."

I think the water here in Denver is a bit hard, but if by "coatings that create a hydrophobic surface" you are also including wax, I don't think so. The water has not changed in the last 6 months,...

Rain water is not the problem. The half of my car that faces away from the sprinklers is still perfect. But I agree it must be something about the coating itself because if my water is hard enough...

Thanks. I guess I wish I had known that in advance, but I probably would have tried it anyway. Oh well, it's pretty intolerable as is so I guess it's coming off.

Crazy thread title, I know. I have lived in the same house for 30 years and parked my cars the same way for just as long, including this car for two years before I coated it with CSL and EXO in the...

I'm not sure I understand the physics of why this happens or what can be done about it. I have a PC DA polisher. Even with a small foam pad I get good pad rotation even with firm downward pressure...

Just to follow up on my original question, it turned out that I had not made a CSL error, but had not fully corrected a small spot where I wet sanded. I corrected it and spotted on CSL and EXO and I...

Yes, I do have M205. I was just assuming it was harder than that. Not good news if I have to do that whole panel. Oh well, first world problems.

I was all proud of myself for a successful first-time coating application until I noticed one spot on the hood about half the size of my thumb where I did not get all the residue off. Of course I...

I have 303, and use it on door panels and dash, but I have had the impression it does not last for exterior use - that it is gone after a wash or a rain or two. No? Maybe I'll try the Sonax stuff. ...

Thanks. I will rewash those areas as you suggested. Polishing did nothing except make me feel better for trying.

As I said in my last thread, I am detailing a 2015 BMW 650i convertible. If you are familiar with those cars, the rear of the convertible top sits on a rather large platform of pebble grain black...

Every DIY video and article about ceramic coating shows application to perfect paint, but that is not always realistic. My car I am detailing while the virus has me home bound is a dark blue 2015...

Thanks. I thought that would be the case.

I searched, but did not find the answer but suspect it has been answered before. I am about to apply Crystal Serum Light and wondered if you typically apply such coatings to headlights and tail...
