    Day 55 Update: Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Surface Coating (w/ video)

    Last night I ran into my friend with the 2014 Subaru Forester I detailed last month and was excited to see how the PBL Diamond Surface Coating was holding up.

    Click here to see the original detail.

    It`s been raining pretty much every night here this week so when I checked her Subaru, I was greeted by spherical confirmations that the coating was still present.

    This was the only pic I took last night from my phone that did not come out blurry.



    I invited her for some pizza today so I would have a chance to take pictures to post an update on this coating. There were a few clouds in the sky, but pretty sunny overall.



    This Subaru hasn`t been touched since the coating was applied 55 days ago (12/7/2013).



    Still glossy.



    The only areas that looked dirty were the wheels and the lower panels. The metallic paint did a great job of hiding the dirt so it was difficult to capture the road film on camera.



    I decided to use a horizontal panel to test for water beading. I used the Gold Plush towel here to show which area I would be testing.







    After a quick spray.







    Without the sprayer.







    The paint still felt slightly slick. It obviously wasn`t as slick as the paint was 54 days ago, but I could still feel something was on the paint. I`ll update this again in the future.

    I believe you are supposed to put the BlackICE wax over the PBL coating?

    The thing that gets me is that Pinnacle says its super hydrophobic on its website and even on the phone but those water beads are really flat like of a wax. I was thinking about getting the Pinnacle Glass coating but was not convinced of it being super hydrophobic. Im not raining on your video but I dont get companies saying it has certain protection when it does not but Im glad your happy with the coating.
