    Sign-up: How to apply a ceramic paint coating




    This Thursday night I'm going to wash, polish and then coat our Mercedes-Benz SL 500. This will be the first time I've detailed this car. This Mercedes-Benz has the PPG Ceramiclear paint system on it and as such, with very low mileage the paint only has very minor or shallow swirls from normal washing and drying.




    If you would like to learn how to correctly,

    • Use Iron X on car paint.
    • Use a foam gun.
    • Use a clay mitt.
    • Machine polish.
    • Prep the surface via chemical stripping.
    • Apply a paint coating.
    • Inspect and remove any high spots.[/B]



    If you want to learn how to do these things then reply to this thread.



    We're going to be using Wolfgang Concours Serious products including,

    Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover

    Wolfgang Perfekt Finish Paint Prep

    Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Paint Coating

    No. Going to start at 5:00pm

    There's a young man from Italy visiting his relatives here in Stuart, Florida and he's interested in car detailing.

    He's never done any car detailing before so we're going to make his trip to the United States an intense learning experience.

    And since he's from Italy I'll be sure to show him the RUPES orbital polishers as well as the FLEX power tools and even the Griot's polishers.

    We're fair and balanced around here...

    Hello Everyone
    I have a question, would you be broadcasting this detail session?
    It would be nice.

    At this time there's no plan to start up our "Live Broadcasts" again - at least that I know of.


    I'll try to take enough pictures to write an article showing what we do.

    Good afternoon Mike!
    If you still have openings I'd love to drive down from Orlando to help with this project.
    Please let me know as soon as possible as I would have a 2 hr drive. Thanks
