When these products first showed up my first thought was some butthead will go apply this to someone’s car to make another shop look bad. I have read bits and pieces where Yvan says these products do not remove the coating but simply mask the characteristics. I think you did an awesome job explaining how these products work and showing how the tool can be used for those adding newer ceramic coatings on top of existing ceramic coatings for warranty reasons. Thank you for always educating me as I have learned so much from you!
great video brian...... but to be fair i tink the remover is designed to remove older more aged protectants vs freshly applied. probably wors better on those products that are 6mo+ applied.....not on freshly applied. i have been interested in the kmz stripper now i have to see your review. i would consider this to remove toppers and sealants that are near end of prtotection. imho in the intro is states "from sealants to old coatings" i guess one way to catergorize it as a super strong gyeon prep
The facts are two: or Carpro DQuartz Go is an excellent coating I have to put in my washlist, or this Gyeon Total Remover is a waste of time and money 🙄 probably both of them. Excellent test as usual! You are an inspiration, man
I have a dquartz installed professionally when it was released for the first time - a year and a half later, the coating after beeing deconed looks, feels and beads like new. Great coating overall
I think its a good option if you wanna strip older sealants at the end of the season to put some fresh protection on the car, but for coatings mechanical action might be the best option
I used it this week since I had a huge high spot by the antenna on the roof of my 2021 Murano from Apex Metal Oxide Coating that I applied 3 years ago. After two applications of Gyeon Total Remover, the high spot was gone. I was pleasantly surprised! I applied it to the surface, worked it with a soft mf towel, applied a bit more, let it sit for about 3 minutes and rinsed it off. I repeated the process a second time.
I heard somewhere that the Kamikaze no5 doesnt work on coatings either. Apparently it just masks the hydrophobics and after a few washes the hydrophobics are back. Havent used it so cant confirm
Brian, did you or anyone else watching notice after you applied and removed the Ceramic Coating it left a haze on the paint? Did it clear up after it cured?
Obviously fresh coatings, sealants and waxes are a big ask for it. I wonder how it works on an aged coating, if it does wipe it out? Thanks for the video Brian and happy Independence Day!
I recognize the image of the dog in the passenger seat of the Corvaire, but damn, who on earth is the image of the handsome guy meant to depict? There's a mystery.
I have a bottle of Kamikaze cleanse on the shelf as well. Kamikaze would have been much faster. Some Citrol or even undiluted Super Clean probably would have worked faster than the Q2m.
@@robsaumure1314the coating wouldn’t be affected by Dawn. Dawn is a ph level of 10-11. Dark Fury Bug and Wheel Cleaner from Superior has a ph level of 12 and it doesn’t affect fresh coatings either.
No chemical regardless of ph is gonna do a ton even on a failing coating, polishing is what you wanna do. Coatings are so chemically resistant even as its failing its crazy.
"Starting with sealants, old coatings, factory waxes and everything in between. Perfect for preparing factory-fresh cars before coating or removing old coatings without the necessity of extensive polishing." so this review is = 💩 9:00 its even written there...
I just tested on a 2 month old coating, it dramatically decreased the slickness and made it less hydrophobic and squeaks loud when I slide my finger. It does work to a degree. The older the coating protection, the better.
Thanks for the video, now I don’t have to waste my money buying it. 👍✌️☮️
Thanks for the comment. Now I don’t have to waste my time watching this! But I’ll like the video!

Finally someone is testing this Total remover . Of course it is Brian .

I've heard mixed opinions on Dquartz, but I would test it myself

Had this in my cart yesterday, thanks for making up my mind!! Appreciate all the time you spent to put these videos out!
Thank you for this Brian, been wondering how this stuff is but haven’t been able to find any reviews on it
Excellent review! Agreed!!! I have been using poor boys strip remover with good success.
Thanks Brian, been waiting for a review on this one 👍

Very interesting stuff Brian...
Nice video. Surprised Gyeon products usually work first time.
good to see you back from your injury?
Thanks for making this clear. Why do the make these products, they know people like you will test them
Greetings from the Netherlands
Happy 4th of July Brian and your family 🤗🤗🤜🏽
Brian thanks for all you do. Can you try the Rupes one. Lite and regular?
Awesome video and product review good friend
Shop manager noticed her side of the panel being messed up with and she barked complaining 😜😜
Agreed!
I heard somewhere that the Kamikaze no5 doesnt work on coatings either. Apparently it just masks the hydrophobics and after a few washes the hydrophobics are back. Havent used it so cant confirm
Also heard that somewhere I think on Facebook. Would be curious to see how these claims hold up
THAT IS COMPLETELY FALSE! I HAVE TESTED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH DIFFERENT TYPES IF COATINGS AND IT DEFINITELY REMOVES IT
Thanks Brian! Ill be staying far away from this product. Another great video 😉
Near miss except on the sealant, thanks for demo
Great video good info!! Hope you and your family have a great fourth of July!!!
Brian, did you or anyone else watching notice after you applied and removed the Ceramic Coating it left a haze on the paint? Did it clear up after it cured?
For us it's Fireball Wax Off ... clearly that Gyeon is 💩 ... great video Brian as always 😊
Obviously fresh coatings, sealants and waxes are a big ask for it. I wonder how it works on an aged coating, if it does wipe it out? Thanks for the video Brian and happy Independence Day!
I’m not sure geyon designed the product to be used on freshly applied protection. More to strip it at end of life?
I thin ’m staying with Car Pro Reset in an attempt to remove at least half my wax or sealant
Good review not gonna purchase this product will
The Kraken All-Purpose Cleaner remove cerkok spray on ceramic coating in ur opinion
Thanks for saving $$$ on a product that isn't very good & well overpriced. Otherwise really appreciate the video's that ypu put out there . 🎉 Cheers
Trying to rub off the coatings might have helped vs just casually wiping.
Huh? It didn't seem to do very much. I really like Gyeon products, too. I think I will bypass this one, though. Thanks for the review Brian.
Thanks for the review
Great video. Thanks.
I find it also strange that the (show) wax performs better than the sealant ....🤔
I will keep using Meguiars wash + for kill sealant etc
Typically I have good luck with Gyeon. Surprised by this product.
Awesome
I recognize the image of the dog in the passenger seat of the Corvaire, but damn, who on earth is the image of the handsome guy meant to depict? There's a mystery.
Brian Junior obviously
Kmkz Cleanse is way better than this product.Thanks for the video on this product.Excellent as always Brian 👊🏼💎
I have a bottle of Kamikaze cleanse on the shelf as well. Kamikaze would have been much faster. Some Citrol or even undiluted Super Clean probably would have worked faster than the Q2m.
I use Poorboy's World Strip Down , that works for me
For the defend of the product Brian i think they say....OLD.... coatings...maybe that is the key on testing ,
Try fireball wax off?
If it works as good as Kamikaze 5 then would be good
Stands no chance against the Kamikaze.
@@neildorrity9507 yes, that's what I noticed. Kamikaze 5 works right from the start
Agreed ..hard pass.
GET THE Kamikaze COLLECTION ! IT IS BY FAR THE MOST INNOVATIVE PRODUCT IN THE LAST 10 YEARS
is it abrasive? Can it remove a lite coating?
Seems much weaker than Fireball Wax Off or the Kamikaze No 5
Use wax tar removal from Rust-oleum and save the cash
I will die on this hill...I'll take water sheathing over beading any day
dude it litteraly did what it states 😂
Kamikaze works like a champ 🏆😉
= fail. Kamikaze still the winner.
Seems like a lot of product being used for not much result. No thanks. I’ll stick to Kamikaze and Fireball Wax Off, they actually work. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Hard pass.
One word
DAWN
You mean dishwasing liquid?
@victoryensured7137 yep, great for stripping old finishes, definitely not PH neutral so you have to be careful
I'm not from the states so there is no Dawn here :) but I've heard that dishwashing liquid is good for that

Thanks for the video. Looks like useless product. Goes to show how resilient protection products are.
looks like a pointless product
Stupid test - sic, quartz coatings remove with polishing . "UV & chemical resistance"
"Starting with sealants, old coatings, factory waxes and everything in between. Perfect for preparing factory-fresh cars before coating or removing old coatings without the necessity of extensive polishing." so this review is = 💩
9:00 its even written there...

It does work to a degree. The older the coating protection, the better.
