I had a dream last night. I was at the Mothers HQ, discussing the blueprints of what would become CMX.
Mothers: Do you like beading?
Me: Yes.
Mothers: How much?
Me: A lot.
Mothers: When?
Me: Immediately.
Mothers: For how much?
Me: Cheap.
Mothers: Like gloss too?
Me: Yup.
Mothers: K.
My subscribers are going to murder me for doing the Adam`s video when I show them CMX.

Flashback.....years and years ago, when I was in California, I was a year or so into my mobile detailing business (so 30 years now) and I stopped in at the Mother`s place. I believe I spoke with one of the son`s who had just got back from surfing in the morning. We talked for a good while and he gave me handfuls of Mother`s products because they were changing the bottles and labels. I had Mother`s products for days and days!
That memory sticks with me, can`t remember his name but cool dude.

CMX to the left, CanCoat on the right. Will put another coat of each on tomorrow and let this thing go forth into the NE Ohio winter. Maintenance going forward for the foreseeable future will be, well...none. Maybe a touchless tunnel wash just for giggles. Not gonna throw acid, APC or oil or anything else at it...just gonna leave it to it`s own devices out there in the wild.
Edit: Hood was prepped and polished as would be normal for any coating application.

Got some gloss readings, prepped with Sonax Perfect Finish on the Novo-Gloss at the 60 degree angle:
Perfect Finish + Prep-All: 97.2GU
Right after CMX: 95.3GU
After wash with Reset: 97.3GU
So it`s definitely a heavy product, not the slickest, feels better than BSD. Insane beading is immediate, I don`t see how allowing it to sit any longer will improve the beading any further but I`m going to polish everything out and reapply and then I`ll wait until Saturday for the actual rinse test. Overall, it seems a little like Cosmic Spritz coming out of the sprayer, that similar type of product consistency, but Polish Angel wipes in better and faster, CMX takes a little wiping to get it nice and clean.

It seem to get the best out of any product the surface should be polished and prepped.

A-men.
BudgetPlan1, are you at a point where you can describe this new CMX product? Do you like it? Is it slick to the touch? How do you feel about the "look"? Thanks.

Might be lighting but Cancoat side looks to be glossier.... manufactures should hire you to do this... thanks

At first glance (and this might seem silly) the bottle itself with contents seems heavier than other similar products. It has a more substantial feel to it when spreading around as well. The CMX is slightly slicker to the touch than CanCoat. As far as gloss, *maybe* CanCoat has an edge if your diggin` the candy type of gloss whereas CMX is more of a `shiny gloss`.
That whole topic of `glossier` is really just too subjective to make any real judgement on that would hold to be universal. People said Beadmaker was crazy, stupid gloss but while I found it to be glossy, it really didn`t stand out that much to me next to the PA Rapidwaxx I used next to it.

Mothers only has one ceramic and Meguiar`s has hybrid ceramic wax. Two different products. There is a thread on here with regards to Meguiar`s Hybrid Ceramic Wax.

Put the 2nd coat of CMX and CanCoat on earlier this morning. Will let it sit inside for 24 hours and then put it outside tomorrow. Supposed to be 60 degrees F tomorrow with 90% chance of rain so hopefully will get to see some natural water behavior.
CMX is a touch slicker, *seems* to have a bit more richness and depth to it v. CanCoat.

Thank you for doing this! Excited to see how it does! I`m still out of town and cant wait get some to try!
I`m hoping to pit this against new 303 touchless sealant, maybe Megs Hybrid Cersmic, Sonax PNS and BSD on my car and some friends.
