Glass coating pika pika rain that is the most popular in Japan

Last time I applied Pika Pika Rain PREMIUM to my daughter’s car and I was satisfied its finishing,
so this is my second challenge.

I used two third I applied it to 8 wheels (at that time I changed the tires) and car paint surface evenly.

I took 3 hours to apply.

I’m going to reapply with the remained glass coating to the bonnet, roof and light parts 2 weeks later.

I had thought that glass coating was troublesome,
but Pika Pika Rain was so easy to apply, so I think that this is one of their sales points.

Same as reputations, the blue metallic car body become more glossy and
the black roof became deeper.

From before, when my car got dirty, the dirt remained and the gloss was gone.
However, Pika Pika rain can keep my car beautiful and glossy because the dirt can be removed with rain.

I will keep its gloss and water-sliding effect by using Pika Pika Rain detailing spray.

【After】

I bought the first Pika Pika Rain product for the first time in 3 and half years when I bought Super Pika Pika Rain.

Super Pika Pika Rain did not become less effective,
but, I wanted this car to be not look too bad against another bran new car.
then I bought and applied Pika Pika Rain PREMIUM this time.

The photos are before the application.
I did car washing, removing water spots and iron fillings,
so it becomes beautiful by these preparation without applying glass coating.

About 3 hours need to apply, but it was not so hard for me.

It is difficult to find the difference when you compare with pictures,
but I was satisfied with the gloss which became deeper than before the application.

I’m going to get Pika Pika Rain’s support next time, too!

I applied Pika Pika Rain PREMIUM carefully, but I finished all in around an hour.
The way to apply was simple, so I could do it quickly.
I applied it to my VEZEL this time, and half of a bottle remained.

After the application, there is hardly any dirt on the car body.
I can wash off even though my car gets dirty by raining.

Moreover, about the water repellency, I feel it is no problem.
About the durability, I cannot say anything because only a few weeks passed after the application.
Also I have never used other products, so I cannot compare with it, neither.

2 years passed after the car detailer applied hydrophilic coating to my brand new car.

I thought
“I have to reapply coating, but if I ask to the car detailer,
the expenses will be around 100,000 JPY…
Okay, I should save the money by applying by myself!”

Then I reached to Pika Pika Rain which has good reputations in the Internet.
I did car washing, removing the iron fills and polishing as the preparation,
and finally I applied glass coating!

I spent 3 hours for car washing (maybe I was reluctant to wash it…),
1 hour for applying to the car body and 1 hour for applying the wheels.

I started to wash a car from 3 pm, so when I moved to the application, it was getting dark.
Therefore, it was difficult to fine whether I applied it or not
and whether I applied it evenly or not… for a while, I finished it.
(Yes, I really did well!)

As the instruction said, applying small areas which is dived the car body is better than applying at once.
The weather forecast said the next day will be rainy, so I was relieved that I could finished it safely.

Okay, come on rainy days!
How the water repellency show me!
Normally rainy days make me depressed, but this time I was excited it.

The next day, it was rainy according to the water forecast.
I had something to do by my car, so I decided to check its effect!

It was difficult to find the water repellency during driving,
but I checked my car when I parked it , I could find water drops repellency as I had expected!

Yes, yes, I have been waiting this!

After raining, there were no water drops on the car body.
Moreover, the reflected scenery on the car body was so beautiful!

The gloss was so shiny!
It was the shine like just washed a car even though I didn’t wipe the water!

…I know that it is just self-satisfaction.
Applying by car detailers is should be nice if I have money.

However, if I found the effect of glass coating by myself, I like my car much more!
(The cost was one tenth!)

The both of labor and time for the application and
the pleasure after the application are “priceless”, aren’t they?

I applied Pika Pika Rain PREMIUM to my brand new car on Febuary 2017.
I decided to apply by myself because I couldn’t feel the effect of application by the detailer even though it was expensive.

I searched about it and I thought it was expensive, but I chose Pika Pika Rain because it contains SiO2.
SiO2 is a good material for finishing which is my hobby, too. It is one of main materials of a fishing rod and it is strong for the seawater.

In a fine water day, I washed my car, opened the doors to dry and applied Pika Pika Rain PREMIUM.
Its sponge was small, but it spread very well and I could find whether I applied or not while applying.
Also I can wipe with microfiber cloth immediately, so wiping was much easier than car wax.

However, just I could not find the result of scratches and the gloss due to the brand new car.
I used half a bottle which was appropriate amount as they said.

I kept it in the multistory car park and I for 13 days
and I compared with each conditions in similar weather, temperature and time.

First of all, I checked it in detail and then I found the place where I forgot to wipe.
There have already harden, so there might be one choice to solve it.

Moreover, there were some areas water spots which is in the glass layer.
Both of them were not so remarkable, so I decided to leave them.

However, I reflected on why I didn’t move my car and checked it by many angles under the sunlight.

About comparison the water repllency, before and after the application Pika Pika Rain PREMIUM, I did it on the vertical area and splashed the water with a spray type to find the differences easily.
Then I could find the water flowed equally and quickly on the new car paint surface.
From this, I think that it will be blown up by wind pressure when I drive.

About comparison the water repllency, before and after the application Pika Pika Rain PREMIUM, I couldn’t the big difference.
But I agree with it looks like the layer of glass.

I want to expect its durability from now, because it is SiO2 which is strong for sands and the dirt.
