Will ceramic coating hold up on water running surfaces? I’m still looking for a product to prevent hull stains. Old porous gel coat Browns easily.

Instead of one of the ones that lasts years and are a total pain in the ass to apply you can go with Hydrosilex.

Which of their products do you use on your cars and boat? In the shopping area there are a few to choose from. I've been looking for a DIY application to use. I've been using the Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax and like it, but also understand what the product is.

Thanks

Just the recharge. My boat is mostly painted though. I haven't tried the marine one but I honestly can't imagine it's that much better than the recharge. It's the most effective while being mindlessly easy to apply product I have ever used

I love Bead Maker and highly recommend it to anyone, I’ve been using it on my 2018 F250 and it’s ABSOLUTELY incredible! I’ve tried everything and found this product and haven’t looked back. If this is your product then Thank You ! Finally a product that delivers.

Forgot to mention.... my truck has a ceramic coating on it aswell, perfect combo !

Great question. Can anyone comment?

Concern on a new boat would be "cured paint". Many paints UNLESS cured by UV light treatment (which requires a specific paint/clear), are not fully cured until 90 days. You can't apply any permanent type of coating until after they are cured.

Mark, don't do anything until you confirm your paint is fully cured by talking to the painter about what materials were used.

good call. It would suck applying only to ruin paint underneath. I’ve heard stories where people cover fresh paint pre maturely with sunbrella canvas, and the paint bubbles because it can’t de-gas/cure.
