22ple Coating : First Brand New Unregistered Honda Civic

[s1tl]

Coming soon

Will compile and post this post tomorrow as the coating requires 24hours to drop some jaws ;)

Had been working on this for 3 days 2 nights while having high fever and flu. Hardcore I am hahaha!

I only opt for the best for my company and my customers thats why we are still the slightly superior than road side wash =S but we aint got no fancy setup and lots of disciples. Furthermore, we dont manipulate.

KrisMas, well if we stay at one spot and one spot alone, we will never grow and we will never be better. Right?

I used more or less around 20ml to coat the whole of my Chery Eastar (paint only) with the front portion (bonnet and fenders) taking on two coats.

Any paints can be coated, regardless of age. Just need to prep properly, that's all.

You don't prep properly, then coat in all the swirls and scratches......

Presents to you, 22PLE ultra hard real glass caoat on the all new 2013 Honda Civic. As you can see the seat wrappers are still on. The car is so new it has no roadtax and no number plate yet! Straight from the warehouse!

Upon Arrival, we got the parked in a cozy covered*porch*to let the paint cool down as it was about 40°C *today, special attention is required when dealing with Honda's soft clear coat.

As you can see, the seat wrappers is still intact. It was in a rather clean condition but we had to be sure.

As we were waiting for the surface to cool down, we inspected the surface.

We did some sun inspection, sun never hide anything

Spotted some holograms on the way too!

LED inspection and we found some light swirls too. Proven that the car has been polished and waxed

Some RIDs found on the bonnet too.

Evidence of improper post delivery procedures. Wax or Polish residue, we didn't taste it so we couldn't be sure.

Since Honda clear coat's are extremely soft and fragile we decided not to start with a rotary correct but instead we tried correcting with a dual action polisher on a finishing pad.

Illustration shows the first pass of correction

Second pass of correction and we were able to get a perfect finish.

We did some extras while we were resting. Something new call PlastiDipping

PlastiDipped the front chrome grill and emblems

Smoked the taillights and tail emblems...and now for some effects of coating pictures
**
We tried to replicate rain but it didn't work too well but the water still beads. Rain water beadings looks much better. We will try to update when it rains. We found that the surface is extremely hydrophobic ;also its rather hard to capture the water beadings as the water droplets does not stay for long, it just slips away.

Ultimately, its the extremely reflective surface after the glass coating. As we know glass is extremely reflective, hence imagine glass on your paint. Its rather hard to show the real life glossy look but this is the closest we can capture on the camera as we don't have a dslr on the spot.


Thanks for reading.

Wow nice. Only tried and seen 22ple once. Impressive and very glossy in real. Nice work Josh.

 

[muyo]

Thanks bro. If u seen it live you would know how much jaw i dropped when the sun came out :rolleyes:

The paint as u know is soft. I used a DA correction technique I researched and tried a few times. Didn't need to sacrifice so much clear coat to remove all swirls and RIDs. No point using the most aggressive way. btw its not marring is finger prints/wiping marks took the shot directly after IPA wipedown

D*mn awesome finish especially for white.....

yes indeed!

 

[Veloc]

This is the leading coating now in the arena. Congrats for sourcing it and actually using it! Stepping up your game I see!

 

[KrisMas]

Tell me about it. I still don't know how to describe the look. It's just something else.

Oh...and wait till you try it on dark/black paint. You won't have any jaw to pick up....HAHAHAHA......

Putting all the above aside, the best thing I found about 22ple is how STUPIDLY EASY the application and removal.

I second that! Let's ask our fren for permission on posting DIT pics of 22ple on Kawasaki DIT project.
