is it common practice that people remove the coat and get a new one 5-7 years? or is this mean to be a permanent film on the car?

Thanks...
as far as I understand, depending on wear and tear, how often you drive, garaged,etc. You can have it recoated in 3-5 yrs generally. I would expect every new coating application would include paint correction, clay,polish,etc.

agreed proper prep work will be needed when you re apply a coating after it's worn out.

What are your thoughts on sequence of glaze, sealant, wax?

Sounds like some say it should be Glaze, Sealant, Wax, but others say Sealant, Glaze, Wax.

some glazes have cleaners in them so that can remove wax or sealants.

so wash/prep/polish (if needed)/glaze/last step protection.

these are some great products that I have found works great for coatings, and yup we have used it to maintain Modesta as well.

For the washes
Nanolex Wash Coat
Nanolex Reactivating Shampoo

For a topper
Nanolex SiFinish
Kenotek Showroom Shine

Talk to your installer and get the Modesta maintenance products. Easy way to take care of the BC-04.

I have Modesta Bc-04 coated on my car. I got M2 which is a maintenance/ detail spray, M3 which is conditioner, and M4 a water spot remover. As a detail spray or drying aid, I use Kenotek which plays well with coatings. You can use M2 as a detail spray but for the amount you get and how expensive it is, it wasn't economical for me to use so.

Use any car soap that's PH balanced with no gloss enhancers like Adam's

I was told not to use a shampoo with any wax ability. So I imagine something like this one instead.

Thanks for all the info.

You will want to use a soap that does not have any added gloss enhancers or wax. Just one that will clean. CarPro Reset, Shine Supply also makes a coating safe soap.
The reason for this is to not "Gum Up" the coating structure with the wax or enhancers.

Is it fine to use ONR or ECH2O as quick detailers to clean the interior of car? LCD? Leather?

Good to see you selling Collinite 845. I was lucky enough to be introduced to this wax by the detailer while working as the dealership lot boy in highschool, pre-internet days. And I still haven't personally come across a better wax.

Anyways, what product do you recommend for taking off track day rubber marks on a dark mineral gray car? And, last question, do you have any recommendations for protecting the wheels from brake dust/rubber marks and making them easier to keep clean. Ideally, I'd like a product that can last as long as the Collinite, which I typically only apply twice a year, early spring and late fall.

Thanks in advance.
