8 months after 1st coat. I went back for warranty claim. Whoke car was recoated. 2nd coat last about 1 year also. I was really taking care of the car. Wash weekly as recommended. Use alchohol to wipe as recommended too. Parked under roof too. Bought shampoo for them too. But it did not lasts long. Tired of care taking the coat after that. Car looks old due to cant polish. In the end, cant withstand the ugly old look, decided to send car for polish. The paint immediately turned whitish again and never look back after that. Just wax the car whenever i am free is good enough. Car paint still white and shining.

Use alcohol to wipe??! That's really my first time hearing this. Is that the instruction provided by the car detailing shop?

That's weird. Supposedly one shouldn't need to take care the coating with IPA. It just doesn't make sense for the detailing shop to ask you to do that. sad.gif

Which is why after 2 years of suffering, i decided to forget about the water beading effect. it is just too troublesome which i have to give up eventually. now i can say i feel more relax even i dont wash my car for 2 weeks.
Tell me about it.  dry.gif

The primary use of IPA is to remove the oil/residue left from compound/polish product. During paint corrections stage, IPA helps to reveal the remaining paint defects which might be masked by the polish residue. Another use of IPA is to provide a fresh, cleaner surface for coating to bond with prior to coating application.

Unless the coating might suffer premature deterioration due to oil after bonded with the paint, which I have never heard of, consumer shouldn't need to take extra steps to wipe the coating with IPA.

After coat, if not satisfied, can we remove the coating?

Coating can be removed by physically abrade it, meaning have to polish it.
