poking around IGL website they have ecoshine enhancer which sounds like a topper made by them might be worth grabbing a bottle after your next wash seeing if it clears some of the issues up. While the Chemical Guys HydroSlick SiO2 Ceramic Coating doesn’t quite. My gut says if you have been doing a sealants stay with it don't jump to a wax. The ceramic coating is designed with SiO2 hydrophobic compounds to ensure water beads and sheets after application. As for going with wax on top I would advise not to todd over at esoteric or eli with the rag company talk about not mixing wax or sealants. Im wondering if its acid rain etching or just mineral deposits baked in. Never used IGL not saying they are not legit just never heard or have used them. My best experience with a car polish is Zaino Show car polish and their detailer spray. I hear mixed reviews of using wax products on ceramic coatings. I havent tried any of the ceramic polishes.I may try H20 Guard by Adam's, but it has traces of wax in it so I am not sure if it will make matters worse. I've had my 340i for a year and a Black Sapphire Metallic 435i before this car and never, ever had issues with etching from rain water/dew. My car is not garaged, and only driven 1-3 times per week. I waited a little over a week for my first wash. Even fresh bird droppings create etch marks immediately on the coating. Is ceramic really this delicate? Thinking I should have just went with a wax. I've never had this happen, even from a light morning dew. I have to use a drying aid or a detail spray to conceal/blend these etch marks. I can wash the car and while drying can see these etch marks everywhere on the top surfaces of the car where water beaded before the wash. I purchased the ceramic graphine shampoo and detail spray for upkeep and after every wash the car looks like a mirror.īut recently, I've noticed any type of rain/dew that forms on the car beads up and creates etch marks in the coating. I wash my car every 5-7 days (two bucket method) depending on the weather and use Adam's products. The car looked stunning after the process but that was short lived. Anyone else here feel underwhelmed by thier ceramic coating? I recently had a 2 year ceramic applied to my Black Sapphire Metallic 340i along with a one-step paint correction back in March.
