Product Longevity Thread
Nickfire20 replied to falcaineer's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Bringing back an old thread.... This is my daily driver, it sits outside 24/7. It’s an 18 yr old Chevy Silverado. I drive both back roads and highways, work in city atmosphere near train tracks, live in the country. 3 months ago to the day, I cleaned , clay mitt, clay barred, Heavy Correction Compounded, and Correction Polished the driver side...Passenger side got One Step. Then both sides got Coating Prep. This truck has been an experiment, and came completely trashed when I purchased it in May. Driver side... Front fender- Paint Sealant Doors- GnG Gas door area(Front of bed)- Ceramic Waterless ”Z71” area(Rear Bed)- Ceramic Boost Passenger Side... Ceramic Spray Coating Let is also be known, Ive washed the truck only 3 times, with only Car Shampoo, dry with just a towel, no DS or other toppers. Here are a few videos I made today after using my Apple Cider Shampoo 😬👍🍎🍏🎃 5C1ADFA2-39C1-4EA8-A746-865932D1052D.MOV D64D66AC-0C30-46F6-B9C6-5AC3C168E62C.MOV 1397E209-95AC-471A-BB31-F534EAC4CD63.MOV- 11 replies

They have only done that for me when it goes to a PO Box. Otherwise Fedex comes to my house -

I have never paid extra. I live in Maryland and have never waited more than 7-8 total days(including weekends) for a package, that includes a day or 2 for packing, prior to having it get on the truck. In addition I have had shipping estimates give very long windows often, but the package arrive 2,3, or 4 days earlier -

topper for sealant....
Nickfire20 replied to freshlex287's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Patriot is pretty awesome stuff! GnG is a great durable topper. Here is Adam’s Winter Prep video from last year, he recommended CB over sealant. I can attest that boost is a super durable product, especially if you don't catch any overspray(on a windy day), ask me how I know. -
Intriguing...

Phase 2?

Ceramic Spray or Paint sealant?
Nickfire20 replied to takkc3's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Ray makes some good points, I highly recommend the Spray Coating, a little goes a long way, you can do multiple coats on multiple vehicles and have plenty left. -
Looks like some cool stuff, funny, had some folks asking about this stuff the past few days and here it pops up.
-
I think i left one of my suggestions out...2 sprays into a double soft towel, then wipe on/off the vehicle. Works pretty good as well. So you have a few options to work with Brian, let us know which one works best when the time comes.

Hey Brian, sorry you’re having a rough week. Hang in there. Your hard work has not been ruined! Please don’t buff of your gorgeous coating! BTW do you have a pic? Moving along, everything the others have mentioned seem to work well. Remember how I said I Boost my wheels every wash, well...not one time, but twice now, I have sprayed my wheels on a windy day, and the overspray from the boost dries on my car and windows. Talk about a pain, those specific times, APC, did not work, neither did clay, and neither did Brilliant Glaze, which are all recommended for things like this..... I had to use Revive Hand polish, then re-Boost in fear that I may have removed some coating. Moving along to today, we got got back from OCMD, a few days ago, so I wanted to wash her up real nice like. I even took the center caps off the wheels...well with that I found some funk on them that I cant get off. While they look fine outside and while standing and looking at them, but under close inspection with an LED light they look like crap. Not sure what it is, but a little bit of Revive, followed by Ceramic Paste Wax at 11pm tonight is certainly making them perfect again (The red circles are the completed sections)

Looks great, nice work

Hey Brian, I think you’ll get a lot of different opinions here, I’ll even add mine but... Here are two videos in case you haven’t seen them yet... I use DS on my CC truck evry other wash, but on the windows everytime, so they have that nice glow. Then I use CW the times I dont use the DS (also in between washes as needed ) And then every4-6 weeks use Boost. But as Adam does, I use Boost on the wheels every single time.
-
I would use a good bit of coating prep, make sure you get all the DS off the surface, it could interfere with the coating bonding to the paint

Hood streaks with every product
Nickfire20 replied to jswhite's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Just throwing this out there...Not knowing the vehicle, another possible option would be to wrap just the hood, if they could match the color -

Ceramic Spray on Running Boards and Mud Flaps
Nickfire20 replied to RayS's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
I concur with all, also some folks are coating their floor mats as well, both rubber/plastic(wipe on) and cloth(spray and walk away) -
Ultra or jumbo for sure, depending on vehicle size
