Ceramic Coating.... Anybody done it to their bike?
#11
None of the ones I have used have what I would describe as a "wait time" except around 20-30 seconds before wiping down with a micro-fiber towel. The ones I use recommend only working a max 2x2 section on a car because of this.

Depends on the coating, temp, and humidity. Last one I did, new Track Hawk, removal time started at 45 seconds, extremely humid. Last 2 panels I did was wipe on wipe off. The coating was 22PLE VX Pro2

On a non-matte paint bike the whole bike should be detailed(wash, iron remover, clay, polish, wash, degrease) to perfection prior to coating because once you put the ceramic coating on it, its a huge pain in the *** to remove it and do more paint correction. That in and of itself could take a few hours. To physically coat a bike only takes like 30 minutes of product application(for a single step ceramic). I wouldnt do a full ceramic coating on a motorcycle for less than 500 or so.
A matte bike is slightly different because you cant really clay and you definitely cant polish, but a through wash and iron remover spray then de-greaser spray is essential(I wouldnt waste the iron remover product on a brand new bike).

Me either. $140-$150 for the coating ,add on the cost of the MF, no money left to be made from that price
