Is anyone familiar with Feynlab coating. My new C6 had it applied about 1 year ago by the previous owner. I've done paint correction and applied Ceramic Coatings before, but obviously not a professional coating ( although I love Cquartz 3.0).
I'm curious if anyone has any experience with it.
Also would like to know if there is anything to stay away from in terms of a wash or Topper, or is it the same as usual?
FEYNLAB............I dont understand how that company stays in business with NO Marketing
No Promotion , No Advertising that Ive ever seen ????
I've read excellent reports about their product(s) but never purchased anything myself
I've got to agree with Chuck on this one. I've heard nothing but stellar reviews and comments about a good number of their products (I've never had the pleasure of testing them) yet I don't think I've seen any marketing or promotional campaigns. It's uncanny.
I’ve asked the same here. I used Feynlab Lite several years ago on our classic that gets driven a couple of times a month. Still looks and beads amazing. Back then it was the only DIY I could find. Poor visibility usually means poor revenues. Mystery to me. But it’s a good product. The support was strange also when I had a question. Not unusual that genius product developers suck at promoting, all I can figure. Anyway, good stuff.
I'd definitely never heard of them before. I've spent a lot of time researching the latest and greatest LSP's over the years and was surprised when I got the name from the previous owner. Nonetheless, the car has fantastic gloss and depth.
Feynlab has been around for 15+ years now, certainly no fly-by-night operation. Probably don't hear much about them in the consumer space as the majority of their coatings are 'authorized installer only' products aimed at the professional detailer.
They do have some consumer avaliable maintenance products as well as a single coating (Ceramic Light) that anyone can purchase. I gave their Ceramic coating a try in late 2016 and Ceramic V2 + Topcoat in early 2018, products they have since moved behind the 'authorized installer only' wall.
Solid products, nice, well-informed and helpful folks in my dealings with them back then. Although my preferences ran to other ceramics, their stuff was quite good and I can't imagine it going backwards. As the OP mentioned, he is quite satisfied with his install so it appears they are still keeping on w the good stuff. 😎
If you're into some of the chemistry and intricacies of coatings, they have an interesting blog on their website/homepage.

This is my fault. I will have to dive in here, as pro detailer, I had an incredible look with certain Zaino combinations that just made a car leaving my shop simply amazing. Knock Zaino if you will but I built a 7+ figure detailing business around as I never found anything to match it, My Monterey week cars I detailed won most everything they entered.
Then Ceramic became the latest. Contacted by the Ceramic Pro rep and started using it. Nice shine, decent durability but lacked depth and that "POP" that Zaino delivered. I then started testing a ton of Ceramics, none delivered the "POP" I had with Zaino. "POP" as being defined with a great shine and paint depth, plus bringing out pearls and metalflakes that made people stop and look. If you saw one of the cars I did you would see a huge difference between my detailed car and another that just put on product.
In my research I stumbled across Feynlabs Ceramic, so I called them and talked to the rep. I was asking questions about the product he could not answer, so he set me up with the founder/chemist. Keep in mind at that point I was a Ceramic coating nerd and knew in depth about the chemical compositions of many ceramics and why they failed my testing. We discussed the missing "POP" that Zaino had, and he told me his products will match that.
They sent me a plethora of products and lo and behold it was the only Ceramic that matched the "POP" I was looking for.
It was THE best Ceramic I have ever used and simply made the cars we did the best of the best. Keep in mind my shop was in Silicon Valley and my customer base were people that made the news, so I had to the above every other detailer.
BudgetPlan has it nailed the products are a bit tricky to install so only authorized detailers that have been trained use it. They also have a very large corporate base, so marketing to the DIY is just not in their arena.
The Original Ceramic is awesome and is actually very easy to work with for the DIY. I have a Metallic Red PT Cruiser I used as my test mule and even though it is garage kept, 6 years later I still get stopped by people wanting to know about the shine and what product I used to bring out the metalflake.
I have said this multiple times before 99% of the ceramics give you a decent shine and durability but very few actually bring out the very best in what the paint mfr was trying to achieve. Feynlabs Ceramic did that.
Going to bust tour ***** a bit here. Feynlabs’ ceramic or Feynlab Ceramic . Yep real nice stuff. The Ceramic Lite for consumer use is easy to use, long lasting, and adds that “pop” so to speak.
I still have no regrets I used Feynlabs Lite. Not sure if there's anything better. FINALLY an overcoat!!!! Someone needs to tell them their invisibility in the marketplace REALLY diminishes customer confidence in their business. Their marketing presence implies they are barely surviving.

Trust me they are well beyond surviving and most likely because their target marketing is very high end detailers and car mfgr's their business is booming. I was doing a pantload of $$$ with them, they are far from failing before I sold my shop and the new owner has done the same he told me it is the best ceramic he has ever seen,. They are a very, very high class and the best ceramic coating out there so they are not concentrating on the DIY market, they simply don't need to.

I'll take your word for it. Order placed, should have it applied soon.
