Review: Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating Wolfgang Uber Ceramic

Looking forward to the follow up. Time for me to wash my Grand Prix GT that's also coated with Uber. Hasn't been touched since the initial application. Going to wash it this weekend after I get the new rubber installed tomorrow.
 
Update - WG Uber applied 2 months ago

This panel is a mixed bag and performs above average. It stayed clean for the first week (after a wash) and looked good on the first few drives in bad weather. This panel gets a little less spray because of the way the air flows over the hood but the leading edge gets hammered. Snow and mud tends to get flung onto the hood when letting the SRT8 rip in the snow. Road grime only accumulated on the leading edge shortly after the first storm. The beading and sheeting exhibited by this panel never tapers off it just changes as the panel gets more surface contaminants.



After a 2 bucket wash the panel was looking perfect. I didn’t notice any marring or scratches on the panel. As you can see in the photos below this panel beads water very nicely once washed.


Note: there has been 0 loss of durability and still beads water as good as ever after a good two bucket wash. For the wash I used one oz of Meg's Hyper Wash in three gallons of water without any toppers or drying aids.

After a quick dry the panel reflects like glass. Even compared to the neighboring panels it’s more reflective.

Here’s a video I took while rising this panel off during the wash one month after application. I meant to follow up with a clean panel beading video but the battery died…


All and all it Uber is holding up like all the coating promises I've read, although I find it gets dirty faster than my top performing sealants.
 
1 Year quick update - The coating continues to perform spectacularly. Beading and sheeting are still fantastic and the paint still looks pristine (under bright light inspection). I couldn`t be happier with the move to a ceramic coating. It`s made my life a lot easier (quicker maintenance washes).

Over the last year I`ve been doing RW (with Uber & eagle edgeless towels) every 2-3 weeks and a 2-bucket wash every 2 months (with reset & merino wash mitt). I haven`t applied any "toppers" other than using Uber RW as a drying aid on my drying towels (platinum pluffle towels).

I`ll follow up with some pictures (hosted else where than photobucket) this weekend once my order of reset arrives.
