diamond kote

Does any one use diamond kote on their vehicle?

I use it on my vehicle, every chemical Universal has is diamond kote except for the tire dressing which is luster glaze. What would ya like to know?

i use a lot of diamond kote as well, every time i wash my car, instead of drying i use quick wax, leaves a streak free shine!

I just wanted to get other opinion on it I have been thinking about using it once I paint the car. I use it a lot on other cars at my work...

Yeah I personally only recommend Luster Glaze over Diamond Kote. Nothing else has touched mine or JP's cars as well as anything else that comes out of our shop. Definitely recommended!

i like to use carnauba wax. leaves a nice finish ($1200 a container or something)

its been proven time and time again, you cannot beat carnuba wax.
Its durability sucks though, you often have to re-do it every month or so.
DO NOT wax/polish your car for atleast 90 days after you paint it.
Synthetic waxes like diamond coat use polymers. And while these are extremely hard and durable, they allow the paint underneat to oxidize. So if you have a colour like red, I would stay away from it, becasue it is almost impossible to remove these polymers, they must wear away naturally.
just some food for though.
I have seen JP's car in person, and it looks spectacular, it does wonders.
What colour are you painting you car?

Bayside blue if I could, probably leave it white

True. But the waxes/polishing products on JP's car and my car are from Luster Glaze. Diamond Kote products that we use are like glass cleaner, all purpose cleaner, wash n glow shampoo, diasol (for tough shit to get out) fabric shampoo etc.

I'd like to know why I got such a shitty wash and wasn't treated to this! I might have actually paid you if the job was done good!

I will be painting my car laser blue from the 2009 mini

3M products FTW. you can make almost the worst of vehicles look deadly with a 3 stage polish. their 5 stage system makes clear coat look like glass. and feels absolutely smooooth. of course if the scratch is past the clear coat, your SOL, touch up paint FTW!!

um what?
diamond coat is good if your paint doesn't oxidize. It is probablya bad decision to use it one red/black cars if your paint is old.
If you have new paint, you shouldn't even think about waxing for atleast 3 months

ok easy enough yeah I didn't plan on using the diamond kote for awhile after I paint it i know it's not good for it but thank you for the imput
