Thank you for testing, Ceramic Spray Sealant! When people test Ceramic Spray Sealant they often times forget that it is a part of our "system", where you have a base of one of our coatings, Ceramic Spray Sealant is applied every 3 months or so, and AMPLIFY is applied as a drying aid every wash. At a minimum, the system would be Ceramic Spray Sealant as your base, and AMPLIFY is used to maintain it. These two are a system and are made to complement each other, where one falls short the other helps it excel. AMPLIFY adds insane slickness, deep darkening, and gloss, and extends durability without affecting the hydrophobics of the base Ceramic Spray Sealant. I've also never had BH Autofoam make that much of an effect on Ceramic Spray Sealant. Quite odd. Our Decon Soap V2 is similar to BH / KCX SF in strength, and we can do 15+ washes without seeing any degradation. Thank you for sharing your simulated real-world results.
Any plans for a V2 of your Ceramic Spray?
@ it’s the product at the top of our list for a revision. We haven’t been able to create anything worth the change yet. We don’t want to sacrifice durability for a crappy install like most other products.
@@armourdetailsupply shots fired? I won't name names.
@@TheBreakfastLover No. Just any product that has impressed us durability-wise, I would never use day to day in my business because they don't install nicely. If it is not enjoyable to use, it'll sit on the shelf no matter how durable it is.
@@armourdetailsupply nice, glad you're not rushing something out to just put a new product out there. Kudos to that.
I would also say you are testing these in more of a best case scenario. A lot of people that are using a spray sealant aren’t the people that are going to polish and full prep beforehand. They will just wash and dry and apply. For that scenario the results would be even less
True. Part of the game is ruling out variables, while also show casing the top performance the product can offer.
In the uk, ADS is quite expensive. I can buy 2 or 3 spray sealants for the price of this one.
One of my favourites is Stjarnagloss Parla. Cheap, a doddle to use, can be used on wheels as well.
I'm definitely looking forward to what you've got lined up for our entertainment
I do have my eyes on Parla, but haven’t ordered it yet.
I think that the hydrophobicity is the key attribute I look for. There’s so many products that are durable but don’t do it in terms of repellency. Typically the slick products. I’d rather have a star performer that I have to reapply occasionally than a mediocre but long lasting product.
Going forward and with new real world testing, we’ll get a better picture of how the controlled testing translates into real world. Collinite bead coat is very close in application and hydrophobics, and their companion detailer seems great too, but also offers more chemical resistance. Very curious how this will translate into the real world, but it’s not the right time of year to start up a new test.
+1 for the Sainz reference 😂
I’m definitely getting good longevity out of CSS, so 🤷♂️. Love that smell and application experience though.
Chemical resistance isn’t durability. Ot’s more about your maintenance routine (mine being autofoam).
@@sheepstardetail totally agree 👍
re: stepping up to solvent-based spray sealants like Cancoat or Phobic, my one reservation is that they're Petroleum-based. My car has PPF and the manufacturer's aftercare instructions specify to not use any petroleum-based detailing products or else the warranty is voided.
@@TheBreakfastLover that is a marketing gimmick by said company to keep you using only their products. That same company sells solvent based coatings for their installers to apply to the film.
@@armourdetailsupply I've always wondered about that, they say you can't use solvent-based products, so then what solvent are they using for their dedicated coatings? It doesn't make sense.
@@TheBreakfastLover It's a way to keep the maintenance products in their family and limit warranty liability.
For what it’s worth, pretty much any liquid can be a solvent if something else is dissolved in it to make a solution, including water.
I’ll go back to my mom’s basement now 🤓
@@seventysschev I hear ya. In practice though, "solvent-based" typically refers to non-water based. It doesn't make perfect sense but that's the industry convention.
aaaaaaand the oscar goes to SOMEONE ELSE 😆😆😆 … that intro ✌🏽🐿️💨 … let’s go
You should colaborate with detailing news (Hold my beer detailing) somehow. Or detail projects. Create the " I don`t care about brands" family
*batman voice* I work alone.
You should try out the Hydro Silex Ceramic spray. It’s been around a little longer than these new brands. I just finished my first bottle of it…going to try some others but would definitely recommend it and may go back to it. With 2 coats the gloss and slickness is 🤩
Also have been using Adam’s Graphene Boost…not nearly as impressed with it.
Hydrosilex has popular for a bit, not sure if I can get my hands on it though.
If you want, I can send you a product from Europe that I think will do pretty good in your testing
Channel email is in the description. Be warned, it’s -8*C outside so they’ll probably freeze.
@ then let‘s wait until it gets warmer again
Sounds like a plan. Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss the product in question ahead of time!
ADBL SSW? 🤔
@ hey you’re not supposed to spoil it in the comments!
I'm a big fan of ADS Ceramic Spray Sealant and ADS products in general, the only one I haven't been 100% happy with is their tire sealant Ghost but I didn't get much time to play with it before winter began so it could be a me problem. Is the Ceramic Spay perfect? Certainly not but the areas it lacks in are things that I don't particularly care about - filling and chemical resistance. Filling I just don't care about in general and chemical resistance is largely irrelevant as I either apply Amplify or re-apply the Ceramic Spray every wash which is at minimum once every two weeks. Ease of application is important to me and it would be hard to find a ceramic spray that is easier to apply. Being available to purchase in bulk is also a must have for me as I use a lot of product, in bulk form the ADS spray is a bargain.
As an aside, Phobic is only marginally harder to apply so if anyone is on the fence and worry about ease of use is keeping them from trying it, it's not hard at all. I applied Phobic to both my winter vehicles, I won't know until the spring wash how it held up against the winter chemicals as if I wash my vehicles in -20 temps I will have a brick the next day.
Yeah those are basically the points I made in the video. Bulk is a good value, easy of use and hydrophobics are top notch, and it works with a good well rounded system.
@@sheepstardetail ADS has largely replaced the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions line for me. I liked the Hybrid Solutions line but the only product available in bulk is the Hyper Foam Wheel and Tire cleaner. ADS offers everything in bulk so it wins.
Try Fireball Pirouette
It’s on my list of things to get, as well as Parla.
Disappointing in the durability, luckily you didn't use the Diy water spot remover 😉
Chemical resistance isn’t durability. I do real world testing for that.
Can we all just go back to Carnauba wax and get rid of this plethora of gimmicks? Think about it, if most of the viewers are watching these RUclips channels love detailing their cars, is it not best to use a renewable product that allows you to enjoy the process. This has gotten insane.
LOL right. Check out North Star Firefly Wax.
@@Jimmer-Space88 whilst I admire your sentiment, if my wax died in December there is absolutely no way in god's frozen hell that I'd spend 2 hours waxing my car, only for it to not bond and go through the whole rigmarole a week later. Quick and easy in winter please!
@ yes but my argument is, why are all these people watching detailing channels if they love to detail their vehicle so much? I’m not making an argument for practicality, I’m making an argument for peoples interest in their hobby and the process.
Hey, when detail a car that is in for just a basic clean up, I use a paste wax (Bilt Hamber Finis Wax)!
This product was so nice to apply, it would definitely qualify as “enjoying the process”.
👍
