What makes a coating good?

 

We have used and experienced a lot of different coatings throughout our inception. Hailing from detailing and chemical engineering backgrounds, Alexie and Maz are both well versed in the applications and tests of a coating. Guess what the detailer secret with coating is: NOT HOW MANY YEARS IT CAN LAST. From detailing enthusiasts’ background, yes durability is important however, from a detailer standpoint – there are many other qualities that are more telling of a coating’s quality. We test each of our coatings with the following benchmarks: easy to apply, easy to fix, dries well, and has high gloss and resistance. Let’s delve into the crucial aspects that distinguish a superior ceramic coating from the rest.

Ease of Application

A standout coating is one that marries effectiveness with simplicity. Ease of application is not just a convenience factor; it’s a testament to the formulation’s user-friendliness. A good coating should allow for smooth and straightforward application, ensuring that both professionals and DIY enthusiasts can achieve optimal results without unnecessary complications. This characteristic not only saves time but also promotes a hassle-free application process, contributing to a more enjoyable experience for all.

Error Mitigation

In the world of detailing, the margin for error can be slim. A premium coating excels in error mitigation, offering forgiveness for minor imperfections during the application process. Whether it’s a slight overlap or uneven coverage, a good ceramic coating should be forgiving enough to minimize the impact of such errors, allowing users to achieve a flawless finish even in less-than-ideal conditions. This forgiveness factor adds a layer of confidence, making the coating accessible to a broader audience.

Dry Test

The dry test is a litmus test for the resilience of a ceramic coating. A superior coating should demonstrate remarkable resistance to environmental factors, including water spotting and contaminants, once it has fully cured. The dry test serves as a real-world simulation of the coating’s durability, showcasing its ability to repel water, resist stains, and maintain a spotless appearance even in challenging conditions. A ceramic coating that passes the dry test with flying colors is one that promises long-lasting protection and aesthetic appeal.

Gloss & Resistance

The visual allure of a coating is often as important as its protective properties. A high-quality coating should enhance the gloss and depth of the vehicle’s paint, elevating its visual appeal to new heights. Simultaneously, it should exhibit resistance to common contaminants such as bird droppings, road salts, and bug splatter. The combination of enhanced gloss and resistance ensures that the vehicle not only looks stunning but also remains shielded from the rigors of daily driving.

MIG Supply Coating:

• All coatings supplied by Myriad Innovations Group (MIG) have shown outstanding qualities in the above tests. We tested them against many situations involving: application (So easy to use!), error mitigation (Can recover if there are mistakes made), dry test (dries well even in poor weather conditions), and gloss & resistance.
