In this review, we have confirmed the water repellent effect of Silazane 50 Diamond Plus.

Silazane 50 Diamond Plus is one of the top-selling products in Nippon Lighting’s lineup of car coating agents.

Although the Silazane 50 series has been installed many times, the following five reviews confirm and reaffirm the effectiveness of Diamond Plus.

  • Water repellency is strong at a level never seen before
  • The body is half glossy and the body is slippery.
  • Unpainted resin and rubber moldings are also blackened.
  • Even beginners can install it without any problem, and there is almost no failure factor.
  • Durability is also the best by far among coatings.

Also, there are only three points to note. This is common to all of the Silazane 50 series.

  • Water exposure during installation and curing (2h) is strictly prohibited.
  • No revivifier for the third layer topcoat.
  • If you want to add more glass layers on top of Diamond Plus, you need to remove the third layer.

I have installed from the base grade Silazane 50 to the top-of-the-line Diamond 200(Diamond 200 is available in Japan), and I rate Diamond Plus as highly recommended for those who want to keep their cars clean and for car enthusiasts.

Of course, Diamond 200, a layered version of Diamond Plus, is even more effective, and I was very satisfied with the actual installation.

It is good for the first shot, and also good as a top coat for those who have already applied Silazane 50. The amount of glass film can be thickened.

Construction in hot weather can be done early in the morning & in the shade to avoid mistakes.

Honest Review with Real Results the effectiveness of Silazane 50 Diamond Plus.

Diamond Plus, a higher grade of Silazane 50, forms a very dense, high-quality film.

Its water-repellent effect was still genuine.

First, let us explain the effects.

  • Stronger water repellency than EX Keeper
  • Resin parts are also pitch black and firmly water repellent
  • soft and elastic body
  • Durability can be expected.

I have also installed the top grade Diamond 200 and am constantly amazed at how the water slides off the surface due to the water repellency.

Water repellency is still extremely strong

Silazane 50 itself is a product with very high water repellency, but its higher grade, Diamond Plus, has considerably higher water repellency.

There are two reasons for this,

  • High quality of the coating
  • Smooth surface irregularities due to 3-layer coating

In other words, water will no longer be trapped in the body.

Actual water repellency is also this way, with water droplets gliding across the ice like skaters on low-friction ice.

Extremely durable

Screenshot

Since the Diamond 200 that has already been installed is tremendously durable, we have determined that the durability of Diamond Plus, which has the same film, can also be expected.

I was honestly very surprised that Diamond 200 did not lose any water repellency even after surviving the midsummer, when the coating tends to be ruined.

In fact, we used to apply EX Keeper, but that thing doesn’t last a year. The price is double, and the maintenance cost is 27,000 yen per year, so the cost performance is not good.

Immediately after the installation of Nurteka body

Diamond Plus will become shinier and shinier immediately after application.

Furthermore, the more the film is applied, the deeper the gloss becomes.

Even during the installation, you get a sense of the coating being applied.

Uncoated resin and other materials can also be applied.

The major advantage that I have gradually noticed over time as I have used the Silazane 50 series over a long period of time is this.

Since the entire body can be applied, unpainted resin and rubber moldings can also be applied without concern.

In particular, this is the best coating for resin parts, including used cars, because it can instantly counteract the weakness of resin parts to discolor white over time.

Construction can be completed in one day, even in winter.

Even though it is a 3-layer coating, it takes less time than expected.

The coating itself can be completed in half a day, so it takes only one day including surface preparation.

However, if it is winter, the weather is bad, or it took a long time to do the groundwork, etc., please divide the work into two days without overdoing it.

Day 1

finishing touches to a kimono before wiping it downLightly is OK15 min.
prefinishingIon Deposit Agents30 min.
car washCommercially available car shampoo30 min.
finishing touches to a kimono before wiping it down30 min.
The final car wash is only to remove the ion deposit agent, so commercially available shampoo can be used.

2nd layerC + D + Curing accelerator30 min.
dryness2 hours
3rd layertopcoat30 min.
dryness2 hours
It is better to do the car wash and the surface preparation on separate days.

If the surface preparation takes longer than expected, postpone the installation to the next day.

On the other hand, the 5-layer Diamond 200 has 2 more layers, so it is a bit on the edge when installed in winter. Below is a record of my actual Diamond 200 installation.

Three disadvantages and cautions of Diamond Plus

Weaknesses and cautions also exist in Diamond Plus.

Please make sure to keep this in mind, as some of them can lead to irreversible cases, such as construction failure. (I have installed many of the Silazane 50 series, and I am summarizing from my experience.)

Rest assured that there are no disadvantages that would ruin the productability, such as a lack of effectiveness.

Water damage during installation and curing

This must be prevented.

Glass coatings harden through a chemical reaction with moisture in the air.

Unnecessary water damage should certainly be taken care of, as it will distort and harden if left unattended and reacts to it.

When Diamond 200 was applied, there was a residue of wiping and it hardened distortedly.

Installation at night is not recommended due to night dew and condensation.

No revivifier for the third layer (topcoat).

This is a drawback of all products with Silazane 50 topcoat, but there is no topcoat revivifier.

The only countermeasure is to protect the topcoat regularly with a special maintenance agent, but the material is somewhat different from the topcoat. (We inquired officially.)

Therefore, regular maintenance should be performed.

If you want to increase the glass film, you need to remove the third layer.

Diamond Plus is 2 layers of glass + 1 layer of topcoat.

If more glass is desired, the topcoat must be removed.

However, the Diamond Series comes with an ion-deposit agent, which is a polishing agent, so there is no problem if you use it to prepare the surface.

Silazane 50 should be implemented in the following order

  • EX Keeper or other commercial products + Silazane 50 -> x
  • Remove organic layer such as EX Keeper + Silazane 50 -> ○
  • Silazane 50 + Silazane 50 Diamond Plus → ○
  • Diamond Plus (top coat) + Silazane 50 → x
  • Diamond Plus (without topcoat) + Silazane 50 → ○

Should I buy Diamond 200 or Diamond Plus?

Which is better, the top-of-the-line Silazane 50 or the Diamond 200? If you ask me, I would answer Diamond 200, but that is if you are a car enthusiast.

Diamond Plus is more convenient in terms of hassle and cost. Yet, it also promises the highest class of effectiveness.

On the other hand, if any of the following apply to you, you should choose the Diamond 200.

  • The beauty of the car is my way
  • I don’t want to compromise.
  • The best is supreme

The difference in construction effort is greater than expected.

The difference in time and effort between 3 and 5 layers is larger than one might think.

I have applied Diamond 200 L to the Civic, but I have applied the hood, roof, and windshield twice per layer.

Using even excess solvent in this way takes more time than expected.

Furthermore, 2h of drying is required before topcoating and 2h of drying after topcoating.

If the curing is completed by nightfall, the Diamond 200 is assumed to be divided into two days.

Cost difference The numbers are significant.

Diamond Plus can be installed in the store construction class.

The difference between this and the Diamond 200 is 22,000 yen, which is how we see it. Of course it is very much worth it.

Personally, the EX Keeper I had installed on my first Civic cost 130,000 yen and the water repellency did not last a year, so I feel that even Diamond 200 is a bargain price.

However, the effectiveness of the Diamond 200 is definitely better

Of course, the 5-layer Diamond 200 is more effective than the 3-layer Diamond Plus.

The reason is clear: the surface irregularities are accustomed and smoother with five layers than with three layers. This reduces friction and water is less likely to be trapped.

Since it improves not only water repellency but also durability and gloss, we can say that Diamond 200 has a better quality as a coating.

Glass coatings can be made much more effective by increasing the number of layers.

summary

In this issue, we provided a review of the water repellency of the Silazane 50 Diamond Plus.

To be honest, no other coating is as water repellent, durable, and inexpensive as Silazane 50 Diamond Plus.

  • Water repellency is strong at a level never seen before
  • The body is half glossy and the body is slippery.
  • Unpainted resin and rubber moldings are also blackened.
  • Even beginners can install it without any problem, and there is almost no failure factor.
