non-professional syntetic durability test of longterm coatings.

[Alasar]

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



Video with zero washing is not available cause panel there was in birdxxxx, sand and dirty all)

After 2 washes (2-phase wash with hard sponge):
1 wash = 50 moves with sponge in second phase

4. Ultimate coat.
5. Nanolex Si3D.
6. Krytex T

all applied in two layers!

For now leader is UK, next - Ultimate coat. Mohs not suited for alkaline washes
