Meguiar’s HPC at its current slashed price point is a winner for me. You can get multiple vehicles coated with one can. Its aerosol form and the product doesn’t crystalize like traditional ceramic coatings do when you open the bottle. So you can use it to top off panels when they start to show wear.
Wow 1 year and the hot dog water still looks great. Crazy to think it went beyond 6 months because Teflon belongs on pots and pans according to the elite RUclips detailers
Scott, impressed so far with Undrdog Pro. If I’m correct this is your first test of it, so it would be nice for you to test it again as you like to do at least two to verify the results. Thanks again for everything that you’ve done. It truly is appreciated
Idea - probably not new but here goes: How about testing the durability provided by all-in-one or one-step products (ignoring the cutting / removal capabilities)? For example, start with a nicely finished, smooth hood; apply two or three passes of the product; then see how long the protection that’s left behind lasts in the normal way. I’m thinking Griot’s finishing sealant, Griot’s all-in-one ceramic wax, Rupes One, etc.
@@ScottHD add ceramic priming products to this test (Carpro essence & Gyeon prime), they have a small amount of SiO2. It would be interesting to see if they can be used as an AIO.
Wow 1 year?! Cant believe it, time flies! I put the Meguiars hybrid spray coating on my car about 1 month before this test (I think) and it is still very hydrophobic except for the hood, that slow sheets now for most of the hood. I love the product and use it on my other cars now also.
Exact same experience. Hood is weak and failing and same with the hatch of my GTI. But the doors looks amazing still and bead like crazy. I'm at about 7 months and didn't top it with anything over the winter. Still impressive.
@@Jeffro422 Markus Kleis, who was part of the development at Meguiar’s, suggested doing a decon wash then reapplying the product to the entire panel. The product will bond to the weaker parts of the panel.
Agreed. Super easy to use for sure. I'm glad the price gouging seller on Amazon isn't there anymore either...they were charging like $40 for it! amzn.to/3FN96cR
After watching this compare at about the six month mark I bought some and really like it. For cost and ease of use you really can’t beat it. The fact that it lasts so long is just icing on the cake. Thank you Scott for doing these tests!
I just started to watch your series. Thank you for all the hard work you do. Do you have any updates on the NGNT coating and if it is available in the US?
Do you have a topper that you would recommend for Nano Age ? It’s beading but not as much as NuFinish Graphene that I’ve tried on my dads car. And thanks for your great work:-)
Unfortunately Fartador doesn’t fail but WE fail at installing and maintaining correctly. After 1 week cure time we are supposed to slap ourselves for being conned (optional step) and apply an over the counter topper such as nufinish, meguiars, or griots. Heck even turtle wax. Then reapply the topper every 3 months. I promise you that square would look the best if only it had been topped appropriately by real working products that MAINTAIN the fortador. In the biz we call it “Holding down the Fort”
I wanted to see CG "Carbon Force" because in an another review, they claimed it was more a sheather than a beader which seems to be the case in this test. It has not failed yet, it looks weak maybe for the reason it is a sheather which I prefer over beading, it produce less water marks. Curious to see how long it will hold there, but I’m satisfied of how it is performing. Maybe you should consider trying it on other tests if you still have some left. Thx Scott for your videos 👍
Unlikely. Seems like an excuse for fast degradation. If it’s supposed to sheet, why does it bead so strongly in the beginning? You would think the companies would design the product to behave consistent with the manner in which it is first observed to the user. In its current state, most people would not be very happy with carbon force. Sheeting in the real world isn’t good anyways because things like sprinkler overspray or road spray won’t see enough volume to “sheet off” the paint. It will just stick there etching more contaminants in. If you have a strongly beading product, even the smallest overspray from sprinklers or the road should bead off and self clean from driving. Put a sheeter side by side with a beader and I can guarantee you the beading side will look better over time. Chicago Auto Pros demonstrated this as well on a real world test.
@@yftinthyn007 thx for the feedback, you have good points, I will try to find that Chicago auto pros video. The review I was referring was from FAB & Pan talking about Carbon Force, they made the video together, they claimed it was a sheeter.
@@Exoseven I just took a look back at the first week video for this series and the carbon force seemed to have inconsistent behavior on the top half and bottom half of the square, likely due to variation in application technique (not Scott’s fault as the product should be designed for variables). It looks like the only part hanging on currently is the top half which is now just barely sheeting fast enough to not deem it failed. Kind of goes to show you it is the beading that holds up, not the sheeting.
Hi can you include American souveran copolymer clay sealant in a future video? It’s on eBay, I want to know if I’ve been getting ripped off. Thank you! It seems to be the bundle package for 9.99
Nano Bond, Nano Age, ForeToo Graphene, CQuartz UK 3.0 are all great performers that are super cheap... Robel said Undrdog - it has done well so far too, but is on the more expensive side.
I'm not sure if you can test system x I actually am a certified installer and would love to see it in your tests I think it's second to none personally. but you do need to be certified by them to even purchase their products as it is really amazing stuff but can mess up someone's car if ya don't know what your doing we offer a lifetime warranty on their products

Short & sweet, Thank you Scott
I try to get to the point fast! Thank you.
Thank you for your tests

Would like to see "TORQUE DETAIL ceramic shine" put to the test.
Griots is way easy to lay down with a wash.. My fav for ease of use

I'd be interested in seeing Phoenix EOD Kronos tested, kinda new but people seem to love it.
Longevity counts
I just started to watch your series. Thank you for all the hard work you do. Do you have any updates on the NGNT coating and if it is available in the US?
I will follow up with them. They are supposed to be entering the US market under a different name but the would not tell me what that name is (yet?)
Hi Scott, thanks for this update. Do you have any idea why we can’t get Meguiar’s Hybride Paint Coating here in Canada?
Thank you for impressive test! Did you apply multiple layer about NGNT?
For whatever reason the like button won't work. Be assured, I enjoyed the video as well as all of your content.
May have to unsubscribe and re-sub to the channel - having some issues with it doing that when it accidentally got marked "made for kids"
Do you have a topper that you would recommend for Nano Age ? It’s beading but not as much as NuFinish Graphene that I’ve tried on my dads car. And thanks for your great work:-)
Toppers for Nano Age other than NuFinish Graphene? May try Griots 3in1 SI02! amzn.to/3FN96cR
EVO 5H & 10 ceramic going strong after 1 year !! 💪💪

You kids are spoiled! I remember using liquid wax and you barely got 7 weeks out of the "good stuff".

@@yftinthyn007 maybe he should try it in another test… and on a black hood this time 😄
Undrdog pro next test please. I believe it is an improved formula of the sauce.
Ammo should be a fail.. didn't even seem to sheet well
Agreed...it's now sticking.

Ah, yes, the infamous gray hood!
You should hit up Larry to see what he has to say about the performance of Reflex, he seems like a level-headed guy.
I will for sure!
With so many tests what is the best coating for the cheapest price?
undrdog
Nano Bond, Nano Age, ForeToo Graphene, CQuartz UK 3.0 are all great performers that are super cheap... Robel said Undrdog - it has done well so far too, but is on the more expensive side.
I reapply the griots every 3 months. No fail for me
