They are bringing out EcoShield, a ceramic coating, later this week hopefully.

What is the hardness of 8.5H? And how does that compare to other ceramic coatings?

Ceramic coatings vary from 7.5H to 9H.

      Good review, I also prefer the foams that are thinner. Like you say they don't hang around on the drive etc. plus IMO when it's running off the car it is loosening dirt better.

    They seem to be launching a few new products for 2015 - which is good to see.

     

    If you follow them closely on FB and other detailing forums - there should be some launch offers/discounts available.

     

    Failing that - we do have the Briskoda 10% discount code :thumbup:

    Is 9H the hardest / strongest?

    How much better is this than 7.5H then?

    Are these sort of coatings worth putting on?

    The shield-type technologies sounds great and offer much; but - personally, i'm always concerned by the "curing" regime required to guarantee the durability on some of them.

     

    That said, i'm still a little old school and enjoy the variation of results/finishes by using a wax. :thumbup:

    The higher the number the harder it is, but you are probably splitting hairs. Prep on coatings is vital to make sure of bonding, some need heat/UV lighting, some are pro use only to make sure the guarantee is in place.

    If you are considering getting one I'd do some research on application of the product & what health & safety is required as some require face masks etc

    Will do the research - this one said low VOC, so I guess less of a health / environment risk than some other ones. I've also been put off by the preparation and application technique required on some as I don't think my skills are up to the level required for their products.

    The simplest one I've used is Carbon Collective Platinum

    Very easy prep and application

    Low VOC is good, I'm sure you would be fine with preparation. Like most things spend a good amount of time on the prep work.

    A new coating to the market is SiRamik which Dooka stocks & sells. This looks a very good product & from what I have heard it would be an easy product to use, with very good results & durability is expected to be circa 3 years.

    Good shout NM - a very good friend of mine has just had SiRamik applied to their brand new car.... they are very happy with the results! :thumbup:

    I tried Blizzard after buying a sample on DW. It's all I buy now. Brought 3 x 1 litre bottles of each at xmas. only used half of 1 bottle so far.

    Great thick foam that removes alot of dirt

    Finally got to the chance to work through some samples during the weekends detailing......

    All in all - tested out Tyresol, Definitive Pro Edition, Adam's Shampoo, Auto Perfection Clarity QD :)

     

    Quite impressed with Tyresol; it takes really well to untreated rubber/plastic and leaves a deep black finish.

    On my tyres - which are regularly treated - it was a breeze.... I think i'll stick with this for a while.

     

    Only comment - on the untreated tyre; it did seem to need quite generous application - but no sling reported.

     

    I will monitor this on my car going forward... but as expected - another great product from KKD! :thumbup:

    Been out in the R36 tonight catching up with a couple of mates from the R36Owners forum.

     

    Both commented on the superb tyre and black trim finish achieved using Tyresol!

     

    Good to see others notice the results from a great product - thanks KKD.  :thumbup:
