    Ontario CA we are at 13%... for now. Considering the government is bleeding the country dry, be interesting if they bump the tax up...

    I believe the east coast Provinces and Quebec are at 15%

    Be sure to use their panel prep. Their coatings can be have issues with other panel preps. Super easy coating to work with and a long flash time.

    So 5-10 hours prep $70-100 in products and you wanna skimp out on $2-9 dollars. You can get kit with 100ml prep for $7more. I would add another 100ml for $7. =$9 more. I think 200ml is enough.

    Even if you had to buy the 500ml I would splurge for panel prep as it’s not just ipa that’s in it. It’s the surfactants and polymers that add lube.

    Think of it as wiping your car with water or a quick detailer after prep and polish. Which one has least chance of marring?

    Can we Autopians expect a review of these Diamond Pro-Tech products from you anytime soon?
    Or is where ever you are in California suffering from the excessive rainy weather that negates the testing of these products??

    Re: Forget Graphene...

    I put Diamond Quick Body on my car a few weeks back and while the application is quite nice the water behavior/beading is decent to average. It definitely doesn`t remotely compare to my other two go-to`s Overcoat or PA High Gloss.

    However, it did look really good. A white car isn`t ideal for really comparing the looks of LSP but I felt it had a similar warmth to Overcoat but with the gloss of PA High Gloss.

    For it`s current price in the 100ml size I think 22PLE`s VS1 Final Coat would be a better choice. A long term test on these forums from a few years back showed VS1 performing nearly identical to Overcoat at half the price.

    No i strip off everything. I paint and do spot repairs. Spraying IPA on a panel and wiping it off, just moves contaminates around. Wet cloth and wiping dry with another is painting 101.

    Re: Forget Graphene...

    The Guz being watching YouTube videos you’re cranking out they have been good.

    I have always enjoyed the marketing write up next I think we will see either self leveling/ no wipe off coating or absurd thickness claims or a 2 part coating that includes a hardener like clear coat.

    Also think Optimum gloss coating still selling at 60-70$ for 10mls is hilarious and crazy


    I think some of the stronger preforming coating right now are gyeon mohs evo, NV and fenylab light. I have not used fenylab just jumping to conclusions from YouTube but have used the other two. These are just my own thoughts.

    Treated surfaces are left with an exceptionally hard surface that boasts Chemical Resistance, Abrasion Resistance, Heat Resistance, and Self-Cleaning Behavior. The TRC Team has been testing Diamond ProTech products for over a year, and we can conclude that these are some of the best coatings we have ever used. The FULL Diamond ProTech Consumer line is NOW available


    I don`t know about you, but I`m a sucker for a foundational mesh.


    Feynlab has clarified on where graphene technology stands as to coatings and where they apply where they benefit with the certain thickness. (Spoiler: it ain’t clear coat)

    So any company that comes out with a graphene coating is an automatic “do not buy” category for me. I simply can’t take that brand seriously. Its just plain ol’ marketing
