Modesta BC04 vs. BC05

[CXRB17]

Hey guys,

Getting a Modesta Coating done on Thursday. Through my research, I can't find much of a difference between the BC-05 and the BC-04. Anyone have experience with Modesta? This is going to cost me 1500 plus 150 for correction and prep. I want to make sure and choose the right Coating. Thanks!

Looks like they have a few different products. My detailer recommended 04, but I think I want 05, but what do I know? He's the Pro, so I'm looking for the same here if possible.

Due to the price of your investment, have you considered a partial film protection instead?

I have. My concerns with film are the maintenance needed. I like that the Coating gives a higher gloss finish

I'm not judging how you spend your money, because if I could drop $1500+ to have a pro coat my car, I would. A CQuartz kit is what... <$150? After watching some videos on how to apply it, it doesn't seem as hard as I thought it would be; just takes time. That's a lot of savings to put toward other things.

However, they do have to prep the car, correct it, bake on the Coating, and apply a finish as well. I'm sure it could be done, but to have a 9H Coating on the car that would protect and make it look better seems like a good investment on a car I plan on keeping for a solid 10-15 years.

So 9H requires a heating process to seal it? Then that makes a lot more sense. I'm planning on buying the CQuartz kit and doing it myself.

What are the prep requirements then? Wash, brick, polish (will polish spra be enough for a 3 week old car?), IPA wipe down, then ceramic coating?

I believe consumer kits and detailer kits are different

Basically. Foam wash, clay bar, polish and paint correct, wet sand if need be. Then they will do wheels and windshield as well.

Would ceramic coating be better on a windshield or would sticking to reapplication of RainX be better/easier?
