New Mothers CMX CERAMIC SPRAY COATING

Got around to testing a few products today, Jescar Compound, Jescar Finishing polish, and Mother’s CMX. I did half of my test hood with TacSystems Moonlight and the other half with one coat of CMX.

The picture doesn’t tell you much, but the left side is Moonlight. Moonlight is a tad darker in person. CMX is a tad slicker. Application of CMX was a breeze, spray on, spread evenly, wait a minute, buff off.

I haven’t decided if I want to put another layer on tomorrow (directions state wait 24 hours) or not. Probably not as I want to see how long CMX lasts under worst case conditions.

Pollen hit us hard today. The car was covered in the yellow mess. It’s too early to deal with that mess.

CMX gets points for great looks, slickness, and cost, now let’s see the durability before crowning it king of the lite coating category.

Seeing the CMX review by Apex Detail makes me very intrigued about this new offering from Mothers. I wonder how well it would play with Essence?

I would imagine that it plays very well having a SiO2 anchor underneath. My understanding is that most any SiO2 products should enjoy being blanketed on the primer.
 
CMX & CanCoat in the rain...


And yes, many people stood in the warehouse door laughing as I stood out in the rain taking video of a hood...

Seems to be sheeting off or rolling off very well the CMX. That`s a strong behavior from CanCoat that is knowned. Maybe CMX can be giving it fight in the longrun too. Would be interesting to see the self cleaning ability from them after a couple of weeks.

Wonders if the Mothers CMX ceramic spray coating is going to be offered in Sweden? And what the price will be here too.

Is it also like the other Sio2 topper products that a little goes a long way with CMX too?

Honestly, when I first walked out there CMX side was shedding a bit more water than CanCoat...a bit heavier rain than the vid. Hadda double check original post to confirm which side was which.

Product usage was a bit less with CanCoat but nothing substantial. Given cost advantage of CMX, if it has the legs that CanCoat does, well...it might just be the real deal. Only time will tell.

If it has staying power of at least 6 months, it might just have a place on my shelf at work, refreshing coated vehicles at end of season. CanCoat has been excellent in that regard...the van I did in CSL and refreshed with CanCoat 9 months later has just been a killer combo.
 
I wish it would rain here. My cars are yellow with very thick pollen. It feels like April, not February. Making my eyes itch too.

Thanks for doing that haha. I also always run out when raining to see how my products are holding up.
 
Can someone also do the bic lighter test and the zippo test?

I kid I kid. Itll be interesting interesting to see how if pollen will rinse off or not.

Strip the protection off the windshield/windows of their van and let the wipers get dirty... who’s laughing now!
 
Beading looks nice. Just ordered a bottle of moonlight and have a bottle of Can coat I haven’t cracked yet. Now I gotta get a bottle of this. If it last theirs 100$ down the ceramic toilet

Not to take this off-topic, and noting that I suppose all pollen isn`t equal, I always find it rinses right off our vehicles even though they don`t have anything, uhm...modern/special on them. Simply never had it be an issue at all other than on Souveran back in the day; all my other LSPs shed pollen just fine, sure don`t have to do a real wash to get it off, just a pressure washer rinse will do it if it doesn`t rain hard enough.

Yes perhaps you are correct, but you have good sealants/waxes. I havent had this issue in a while, but see other cars where they stain yellow. Perhaps due to lack of a LSP?


You still put me on the original Collonite and it has served me well for yearssssss and my bottle is still over half full!!!


I stopped trying new products since my current cache is performing well. I do think based on reviews and price, the CMX is a great contender, especially it also works on wheels/trims/windows.
 
I have a couple coats of Blackfire Crystal Seal on my new vehicle.
Can I go over that with CMX, or should I strip it first?

You can go ver the Crystal Seal with CMX, check it out, see how long it lasts. Given the price of CMX it may be interesting to try this first. You should get the CMX cleaning/beading/gloss properties for however long it lasts.

Then, if you decide you really like CMX or really want to see it standalone, strip the Crystal Seal as a clean or SiO2 primed (think Essence) or coated surface will no doubt allow CMX to perform its best for the longest.
 
392hemi- Right, all our vehicles get reLSPed long before it`s really necessary and that undoubtedly makes a big difference.

Glad the Collinite (guessing it`s 845 since you said "bottle") is working out for you; I still use that for a few things (e.g., textured under-vehicle areas). You might try using it on the wheels and trim, but wipe-on-wipe-off when it comes to the latter rather than letting it flash off. 845 was my go-to on trim for a long, long time (until good Trim Sealants came out).

And, heh heh,yeah......I`ve pretty much quit trying new stuff too, 100% satisfied with my current regimen. But I do still find threads about stuff like CMX interesting, never know when something might (really) sound like a possible upgrade.

I`m considering moving from FK1000P (still stay in arsenal) to CMX................................................... I stripped off my week old FK1000P testing different mixes of prewash, 0.50oz Chemical Guys Honey Dew/ 0.25oz 91% IPA to ~31oz water in the IK9 and there was nothing but standing water on the panel. Tried panel wipe to remove any residue, then glass cleaner to remove any residue from the panel wipe. No more FK1000P on the panel. This is all in my quest to fight traffic film, CMX looks like it will be the upgrade needed to help fight traffic film, solely due to the fact that it looks like it can stand up to non neutral ph chemicals.
