Re: Pinnacle Black Label Ceramic Paint Coating
Nice job. I did my xterra in the DP PAINT COAT this week. First coating for me. Looks like the PBL applies the same way. I also used 4-5 sprays per panel. 10-12 vehicles per bottle i think is reaching! I used about 1/4 of the bottle.

That black German sedan looks proper! I love it!
As for the IPA wipedown, I would have skipped it and instead performed some kind of mechanical abrasion such as a polishing session with a mild polish such as Menzerna SF4000 or the like. If Collinite is as strong as Menzerna Powerlock, your IPA wipedown would have had little effect on removing it.
Here is a thread posted by Swanicyouth (Steve) showing how strong the Sealants really are.
Sealant Test: PowerLock (+/-) BlackHole, Wolfgang DGPS, & BlackFire WD
Not calling you out by any means, just bringing up how incredibly effective Sealants can be.

Thanks Mike!
I will say, Im pretty confident that it was removed, or at least altered a great bit, as the towel no longer slid over the surface without issue. It got a lot more "grabby" on the second pass. And also noticed that the spray was no longer beading on the surface, but more or less just sat there the second time around. I used a 90% mixture mixed 3:1.

Im not sure how much of the bottle I used, but I also dont think I could get "up to 15" vehicles out of this one bottle. Definitely will be enough to keep mine in tip top shape though

WOW! Perhaps Im not so confident after reading that test there. LOL
Ill see how long this lasts, if it fails, I will re polish the entire car and re apply.
Thanks brother for the tip and article link!!

Car looks great!
Dress those tires...
It's my opinion that coating success really depends on how clean the surface it prior to applying the coating. That, and using ample product I think are important.
I'm no coating expert, but if your going to redo it - I'd get the PBL Prep Polish. It's easy to use and effective.

It will get a thorough wash and tire dressing today my friend. Wheels are dirty as well. Ill post up a few pictures after I rinse it down, and wash the wheels/dress the tires.
Funny, I had the entire kit (including the PBL paint cleansing polish) but USPS literally ran over my package bad enough they had to rebox it. And guess what got smashed? The PBL paint cleansing polish... Wasnt too happy about it to be honest.
Ill order the polish here before I redo it (assuming it doesnt last and/or fails)

I think you will have to polish it with a light abrasive if you have to remove it and redo it.
