2020 Ceramic Coating 1 Year Test

[Desertnate]

I don’t think dark place matters. Mine was in well lit room and lasted 1.5 years. I think dark places matter for glass bottles not aluminum or plastic

Agree. It`s an aluminum can, so no light will get through. It`s more important to keep the lid screwed on tight. I`d also discount the temperatures too. I kept my can in our unheated garage. Two of the four walls are shared with the house, but it does get cold enough to freeze occasionally when the weather is truly awful. I never had a bit of trouble with it. With all the solvents in it, I doubt it is all that temperature sensitive.

Sad to hear about 22PLE Insanity - I have an unopened bottle And now not excited for their Activate and finitura
Hmm may re-look into the Gyeon stuff.. never thought too much of them before.

Maybe you should start another test with the Shine Supply / Gyeon and Carpro with the addition of / vs.

- Gtechniq CSL

- Dr Beasley`s Nano Resin / MX

Any of the new type `Graphenes`

- Adams Ceramic Graphine
- Ethos Graphine etc.....

Go ahead and use it. You may have a different experience and end up liking it. Plus you will be using Finitura so it won`t matter since you are topping it.

Yeah, I`ll have a car to test it on soon.
I`ve already tried Finitura with HPC and it seemed to take away the good properties of look and feel of the HPC.
I know this is meant for protecting it from waterspots and such. I guess I will have another go and have some panels with and without it on top of Insanity.

Activate primer looks very watery in the bottle. I don`t see anyone that has used this as a primer and raved about it.

I do recall someone using carpro essence with a 22ple coating that seemed to help.

I am not a finitura. Sure it offers slickness but its more of a sheeting type product and like you said it takes the beauty away from the actual coatings performance. I don`t know how good it is as protecting against water spots compared to their VS1 spray coating. The good thing is finitura does not last long. I got 3 months before the coatings true behavior was back.

I applied Insanity topped with VS1 on my dad`s car and it spotted 2 weeks after application on the hood. I have been letting it ride since July 2020 and it`s been a nice combo. Insanity does have some pretty impressive gloss though. But it is not as slick as 22ple hyped it up to be. Hydrophobics don`t seem any better compared to HPC or even VX Pro2. I actually thought HPC was a tad slicker. I will be polishing off Insanity shortly anyway. I was not too impressed with it at the moment. Maybe i will give it a shot later on again.
