Hi all!

May be you thought this 'test' on DW, but I want to share it here too.

I have bought some coating for work. and before apply on clients car usually I want to test them.

here participants




Tactics of test is next:

Test panel - steel panel (size 85cm x32cm) specially coated with cheap refinish clearcoat - Upol.


Panel coated 1,5 month ago. in black solid color. Thickness of coating ~90 micron.
Panel painted by professional car painter. )

The test panel is divided into eight zones. Each area is covered with a protective coating in two layers. Next layer after one hour.
Next, the panel is kept indoor at a temperature of + 20 ° C 48 hours. (since the weather is rainy). It the same tactic also as we work with cars.

After that panel is going outdoor. And it is kept there for 6 days.


panel coated with next competitors:

1. Gyeon Mohs (2 layers)
2. CarPro Cquartz UK 110 (2 layers)
3. IGreenLover Quartz (2 layers)
4. Ultimate coat (2 layers)
5. Nanolex Si3D (2 layers)
6. Krytex T (2 layers) - is a neighborly test coating from russia
7. Ultra Ceramic coat. (2 layers) - same as krytex
8. Carbon collective Oracle (2 layers)

Very easy application have Ultimate coat, next - Cquartz UK 110.
Second layer for Mohs - is a headache. I could not get a second coat clean.
Oracle coated without problems. IGreenLover Quartz too, but not as easy as Oracle.
Nanolex Si3D - is smells acetone. Application is middle.
Ultra Ceramic coat have very hard application. It very hard to wipe. Its terrible.
 
After 6 days, outdoor exposed panel washed with alkaline shampoo (KARCHER rm 806). ready agent pH = 12.5

do not look on first zone. Mohs coated with sample coat )
 
Looks like I'll have to pick up some of that Igreen lover quartz coating, very impressive. I also know why I've stuck with Cquk for so long.

Found a site... Ordering it tonight. Can't wait to get my mitts on it!
 
Thanks for doing this type of test. I don't think I've seen another test of coatings this detailed and informative. With the proliferation of coatings hitting the market these days it is great to see tests done so some coatings can be eliminated from consideration.
 
The IGL website has some interesting information. A coating with a 10 on the hardness scale and a satin feel. Sounds interesting.
