I have gone through just about all of your videos, I've never been in to detailing before, after watching your vids I've learnt sooo much and now I'm cleaning and looking after my car in a whole new way (better way), so thanks to you and your hard work with your channel, keep up the great work, thanks 👍
I love Gyeon products too,their marketing is also fantastic! None of my cars have wheelcoatings...I use Wetcoat every two washes and it makes cleaning the wheels so much easier...I used Wetcoat for several years on my Estoril blue BMW and absolutely loved it. The only reason I stopped using it on bodypanels was because I wanted to try something new. I believe Wetcoat adds a nice gloss,hydrophobicity and makes cleaning the car much easier. Who needs a real coating when you apply Wetcoat regularly??? It can be used to maintain a coating but I think it’s a very good standalone product too...
Another brilliant video I’ve always used autoglym polar seal and never had a problem with it and found it to be amazing and my customers have always wowed about it.
Wet coat gets the thumbs up from me here in our very cold climate in Helsinki. The self cleaning properties are indeed there and means in a way I don't wash the car too often throughout the winter. Thanks again Jon for yet another great video! You are really doing the biz on these shoot outs.
Perfect summary of gyeon wet coat, being a detailer myself I try a ton of products and for me hydrophobic protection means nothing if it gets buried in a day, I've tried the famous Meguiars on my personal vehicle and it's a solid consumer product but it's not a consumer friendly and I've even had slight trouble with the residue it can leave behind but it can hide swirls which is totally a Meguiars thing to do. My summary is: Polar seal - Ease of use/Value Turtle Wax - Value/ Powerful Meguiars - Awesome looking/ great hydrophobicity Gyeon - Great self cleaner/ powerful These are the ones I've personally tried and somehow Gyeon just wins it every time 👍🏻 Great video man 💎
spot on yer.. ironcially ease of use or less risk of streaking is more important to a pro than the consumer or guy at home as the pros reputation is on the line.
With an internet saturated by everything American, its so refreshing to see these videos explained exactly how you'd expect things to be explained to you, especially if you're British. I follow what John says so precisely, the information just goes in and stays there. It even reminds me of early top gear where they used to provide consumer advice, in a time when Jason Dawe used to do his bit on the best current bargains haha We love a good BARGAIN
I switch between Sonax and Gyeon Wet Coat as a wet application as they're both awesome. I tend to use a dedicated wash mitt to wipe them over the panel once spraying a couple of streams per panel. Levels the product nicely and takes seconds. Works a treat. Nice vid as always!
Great video, love these comparisons. I’ve been using KCx PW for about a year and I absolutely love it. Wet Coat deserves the top spot for sure, but don’t sleep on PW. I have several large SUVs to maintain, and applying PW with a foam cannon is even easier/quicker/safer than Wet Coat. Never had any streaking or filming and I have very hard water. I dunno if there’s any KCx science to it but I get great gloss and hydrophobics using AF / NMS / PW every wash.
Koch chemie just released the s0.03 hydro sealant, I will buy it at some point and test it. First I have to finish the Labocosmetica Beneficia, which btw I prefer it to gyeon wet coat in terms of performance and is cheaper also.
Very through review again John. I use Gyeon Wetcoat on some maintenance washes. I have a video showing a couple of application methods and found that instead of spraying directly onto the panel and rinsing off, I spray it onto a wash mitt and wipe it round, then rinse. If not, I’ve found that it sometime stains the panels. You also use so much less protector when spraying it onto the wash mitt. I fancy giving the Koch protector wax a go next 👍🏼
On your advice Jon I purchased the TW Rinse & Dry after being a huge fan of Gyeons Wet Coat. I cannot fault the TW stuff. I do see the same in what you say with Wet Coat in that even as it gets dirty it retains its hydrophobicity through the dirt better. Regardless bang for buck I cannot fault the TW and it's my winner. Add to that if you apply it by misting 1-2 spritz on the panel, one on a wet MF cloth then spread and rinse... lucky if you use 20ml of product on an average sized car. Works out something ridiculous like 16p per application and as you are leveling it as you spread, reduces the risk of streaks etc to practically 0 in my experience. Fantastic video Jon, one of my favourites I think 👍
And you can get it for £4.73. I knew you would like it B. Its that instant bond and slickness and hydrophobicity. the wet microfiber is a good thing yer.. the danger with these products is cover the car in them.
Nice tip! I think I might try to spritz, wipe, rinse on my next application of TW. I'd like to try Wet Coat in the future but don't think I'll need any for a while as I've got 2.5 bottles of the TW to get through now! lol
i have used Wet Coat through a snow foam gun, particularly in windier conditions with excellent results. 30ml in 4/500ml of water and keep blasting to rinse off & flush out the foam gun bottle.and then dry all the glass first.. Never had any problems at all.
I’ve been using Gyeon wet coat since it’s release and I’ve found that chasing 2-3 sprays around a panel with a fresh wash mitt and clean water before rinsing with a power washer is the way to go 👍
that's why I use Griots 3 in 1 ceramic wax. goes on everything including glass plastics. trim etc effortlessly with no streaking and lasts through many chemical washes.
If I am doing a maintenance wash I like Gyeon Bathe+, it adds a layer of protection while you wash. So far it's the only wash soap with such claims I have used that actually works.
I have used wet coat by gyeon for years, I bought a new car last year took it to my retailer for a full car refinement and coated with gyeon MOHs. I wash it at least once a month using wet coat as a top coat type thing and it’s perfect, no swirls no marks on the paint at all with its self cleaning and hardness I don’t have to apply any pressure to get any dirt off.
I used the Turtle Wax dry and shine last weekend for the 2nd time, first time I used it went perfectly fine and was fantastic, great beading and lasted very well. 2nd time I used it I over applied it and I made an absolute mess, found the easiest way to clear it up was with a quick detailer and for the glass some glass cleaner. It also made a mess of all the rubbers as well so I had to clean them too. Lesson learnt, don't over apply and thoroughly rinse it down If you do. I will still use it I just need to learn to apply it right.
a lot of people have said very similiar things. I keep it away from glass. I just do one sort of mist on a panel and rinse off with hose in other hand.. and obviously make sure car is loaded with surface water and nice and cool. and I give it a good towel down.. but yer its easy to mess up I think. TW and megs hardest to apply without risk of bad applciation cheers kyle.
Love your reviews! Unbiased and very professional. Although I am a weekend warrior, I've relied on your videos to buy what I think works for me.. Keep up the good work. Michael
Great Comparison as always Jon, I personally use Gyeon Wet Coat for all the same reasons you stated, it's just a great all round product that maintains the car appearance longer due to the self cleaning properties. Some great products coming to the market recently.
I've not used anything other than Auto Glym as it's so easy to use and lasts a few months, and you only use 40ml so a good price . Thanks for the video 👍
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can give me
John, thanks for a great comprehensive review on these products. I recently bought the Megs Hybrid Ceramic Wax and I admit I hated it initially. I never over applied but simply couldn’t get it off the panels leaving a decent finish. I even tried Sandro’s recommendation of applying to a dry car, which was even worse. Watching one of Megs newer how to videos made the penny drop, the carry is essential soap! The secret is to wash off the carrier. This adds a step to the process but it seems to work reliability. Wash the car, rinse and leave wet. Spray every panel, using very little product (bottle well shaken). Wipe in completely using a microfibre (like the base layer application). Now rinse the car thoroughly (power washer or hose), then finally towel dry. Wiping in, spreads the product evenly and the second rinse, removes the carrier, which I think is the cause of the application difficulties.
hey there Ive only applied it a couple of times on cars but tested it about 3-4 now. When I applied it first on the golf I just washed and rinsed and go tthe car 95% dry with a towel. then used a wet microfiber pad to work in some product to a section of panel. I just made sure I had a decent thin film.. then buffed. I realiseyou dont or shouldnt buff it to a high and dry shine.. just level it and leave it. Then the next day the car is awesome and repelling well. that seems to work for me. when spraying and rinsing key I think is just mist small amounts on and blast around.. rather than sort of end up with a big puddle of white product which is not spread. pressure washer important yer. totally agree with what you are saying you just need to make some adjustments. but once you got it layed out it seems to last well.
John, thanks for the reply. I actually followed your instructions (which are similar to guard and gloss) but I am definitely seeing better results by rinsing off the carrier. Enjoy the channel. Dave
Really informative video 👍 I was detailing my dads car and was in a rush to finish. So I sprayed and rinced Turtle wax dry & shine on the car and then took it for a quick dive like the bottle said. When I got back the car was covered front to back with dark streaks. Took me forever to get thsm off. Over all it's an amazing product. Just don't drive to dry it.
I learnt from my mistake. I towl dried the wifes car after I did hers next and wow, what a difference. Thanks for the video and look forward to the next installment.
Great video Jon. I used the Turtle Wax "Dry & Shine" today and did as you advised, a panel at a time with the aid of a clean damp microfibre cloth and power washed it off. Great result. Love it!
I used a full bottle of Turtlewax Dry & Shine for one application! I first did it on my wheels then rinsed it off and re applied it on my wheels. I then did it on my car and thought i had to cover the whole panels and then did it a second time. But i got amazing results. The slickness of it is something ive never seen before and the beading is crazy! I have alot of car detailing products but nothing i have compares to TX D&S
jesus christ a whole bottle Pete :) thats like tell me you went out on the beers and drunk 30 pints. this product is really really cool isnt it. genuinly cool.. when I first used it and toweled the car down. it was the way the towel felt on the car which impressed me.. the car also looked great and was beading like crazy.. And you can buy it for £3.50.. people are correct you do need to be careful with it.. I dont really use it near glass.. and if you use too much its critical to blast away all the excess which you will see as like "white" liquid flying off the car when you rinse.. but yer this is a great product for an incredible price.
I love this channel. Jon never change dammit. When all these other channels are fluffing reviews for money you're one of very few who maintains integrity in this business and I love it!
I thought at first what a great idea for my ceramic coated car but if used then it rains shortly after the water spotting is so bad the only way to remove is to machine polish so I don’t or would never bother with them again. A great vid John
I would only recomend wet coat for coated Car peter.. but also use somethign like cure or reload or C2v3 to solve the spotting vulnerability not a spray and rinse one your right mate.
I felt sure right up until the end that Sonax was going to win! Great review as always Jon though I am struggling to see the point of this category of products. Am I right in thinking they are aimed at people who want to clean their car, apply this, rinse, dry and then do nothing else on top? Is it safe to put anything else on top, say an si02 product? Is there any point? Are there things that you should definitely not put on top? For relatively new to the game people like me there is a danger of layering product after product after product through lack of understanding or more likely total confusion which may be a total waste of money and time or worse may ruin any results or maybe even not be good for your paintwork. I wish someone would come up with a kind of flow chart of product categories and systems to follow if you get what I mean? I mean you don't want to go through all the stages of cleaning your car and prepping it (and there are enough potentially confusing stages in each of those phases let's face it!) and then ceramic coat it, wax it, detail spray it, si02 it, paint seal it etc etc etc do you? You need to choose a route to go down and not duplicate results or apply totally unnecessary products to get zero improvement or even reduce your results. Now who do we know that has the technical knowledge and a good enough analytical mind to produce such a flow chart type thingamajig? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
these are adding protection mate, it would be overload to then apply protection. I also think things like wet coat benefit from being left alone. I think it cures more. these products are a way of applying the car as you dry, and help drying the car. Its a lazy way of applying protecting.. its kind of nice but you need to be carefull. specially with glass and streaking.
Thanks for a great video John. I personally use Meguiars HCW in a dry application which really helps to see the high spots and allows you to buff them off with a microfiber cloth. Less product waste too. Water beading is fantastic.
Quite surprised with low scores of koch PW. I am happy with this one so far as a winter sucrificial. It bumps the looks but requires some time to bond/net. It shines like crazy on a uni red paint. This is not a fine carnauba look, I would call it plasicky, but it does the synthetic shine thing realy well. It is not slick to touch at all. Also, cost effectivness. This is 1:100 so 1 liter gives a hundred, spraying this by hand sprayer you are using up to a 0,5ltr, 200 applications, 20 pounds a liter in queens money :) Also, never had a smallest issue on glass - I was using this even after having a good prewash, only! Then air-drying my car at some excesive speed ;)
Sonax spray and seal for me, been really impressed with the durability of it. I've used the TW stuff on a neighbours car that had bsd on it previously and I don't think the panels kept enough water on them before I could wash them free of the product. It did leave it streaky. But for price you really can't complain.
I leave my classic mini parked out in all weathers and it has Maguires ceramic wax Applied to it. My mini always looks clean without “wetting it down” after, in my opinion it self cleans brilliantly. It’s been parked for 3 weeks and it’s clean and is clean still.
Hi loving your video best RUclipsr out there,g wet coat thinking about getting some i clean my cars every week my question can I use every other wash because love to see it shine lol
I am posting comment 0.53 seconds into the video. I havent seen your results or recommendations yet. Just want to post what I personally use, Gyeon Wetcoat and love it. Am curious to see how it holds up against the rest.
I know it’s cheap and most people think it’s rubbish but as a drying aid you should have factored daemon shine it’s shrinks up standing water as soon as it hits it’s the only thing I use it for and it’s very cheap
its just not a spray and rinse sealant Dale. But I like demonshine as well for a retail ready to roll thing its not bad.. its slick as well when it dries.
Brilliant video, would have been nice to see carpro hydro02 light and kkd purity x which is highly regarded as one of the best of these type of products, also another one that is very good and people don't know about is cartect water repellent which is fantastic, as regards sonax spray and seal its worth mentioning its 750ml as opposed to some of the others at 500ml etc and also you can get it for around £10 from autodoc, infact at the moment it's £8.71 on their, and i also realise you can't test all of them lol, good works as always anyway john.
I'm still using Wetcoat on top of Moonlight based on your recommendation a while ago and not changing any time soon! Was worried it hadn't made the top 4 but a nice surprise at the end there.
I've been using dry and shine over the top of seal and shine. Great combo, bomb proof nature of seal and shine with better gloss of dry and shine, hard to beat.
Is the seal and shine the black and red bottle from TW? Dunno what the difference is between the them and what lasts longer. Also have you tried either on alloys and if so how long do they last and would you say the product works?
Another great video Jon! I'd love to see you try EZ Car Care's "Insta-Gloss". They have three spray and rinse sealants, but the "Insta-Gloss" is the "special" one in my opinion. It leaves incredible gloss and a beautifully slick finish. You apply it with a foam lance.
I was actually using Sonax spray & seal, but I changed for Beadmaker. I may go back to the Sonax because I have 2 bottles left.. my worry was: could I apply one product on top of the other ! with Sonax first it was OK. Now I am afraid I would have to really do a strip wash to start it all over again. My first layer is always Collinite 845. But the ease of application of a spray and seal product is really nice....
used to use Gyeon Bathe+ and Wetcoat combo, but tried TW Dry & Shine a few times, and its just as good and half the cost! Same rules apply, as you said, don't apply too much.
Agree about the Megs. I found it tricky the first couple of times I did the spray and rinse application. Quick spray, then at it with the pressure washer.
I agree with using "consumer grade" products as a pro. For me it just comes down to price to performance. It doesn't matter what the category is, it is just about getting the best results for the best price. Some products I use are very expensive but they are worth it to me for the use case, some products I use are super cheap and perform just as good as the "PRO" versions for far less money.
Great video. Thanks for all your hard work. I use Bouncers Bead Juice. It’s easy to apply and lasts for months. I bought some Meguiar’s Ceramic after watching one of your previous videos, but not used it yet. I’m going to get some Turtle Wax too, after watching this video.
Glad to hear the result ,I got 4 LTRs of geon ,which makes it better value ,I also like done and dusted si ( in the black bottle ) ,I find it looks great on the car .
Excellent vid, well done, just bought a bottle of Turtle Wax Spray and Shine and it is brilliant, I always use Autoglym products as well as their Polar Seal product but the Turlte Wax to me works brilliantly
@@Mogsy28uk would be a good comparison video. I've used aqua coat which i like and ceramic hybrid wax which I'm not a big fan of. It seems to do next to nothing on glass, where as aqua coat is very good on glass
Be carefull with the wet coat, i have been using it for a while. I loved it! Loved! Not love. When the botle was close to empty i startet notice spots on My paint. It looked almost like clumps of wax, and it realy hard to remove with a towle. Aside for that, great product👍🏽
I think you do have to be carefull with it. Im convinced it has hardeners in there as well.. but whatever material it lays down it does offer self cleaning I think. Very good stuff. I also keep it away from glass and trim as well.
I have tried the megs hybrid ceramic wax and found the first coat a tad smeary but second was better safety another wash. I have found Power maxes winter coat and summer jacket and found these very good and only about £7 per bottle and you don’t need much?
Could you do a video on how different levels prep affect wax or sealant? I am curious to see just how much more durability you can get if you strip everything off first versus lets say using soap with gloss enhancers and old paint protection still lingering.
It's a shame you missed Griot's Poly Gloss. That's some really good stuff. Leaves great gloss behind, and some pretty decent hydrophobics. Super easy to use, and I usually put two coats.
Brilliant video, just bought the Turtle Wax Dry & Shine to see what it’s all about! Out of curiosity do you have the Motech springs and spacers fitted to the M140i? If so what sizes? I’ve just bought KSB Splitter, Skirts and rear Splitters for my M140i and love the way your car sits. Cheers
Awesome job you do here my man! Keep it going :). One Q: can we use TW/Sonax like spray and wipe with "wet" towel to dry the car instead of spray and rinse like? Also, doesn't it make it last longer? I'm always drying my car with a towel after washing, as I hate dirt sticking to it just after washing. So which one should do the job at drying with the towel?
Excellent video Jon, Just superb. I've tried quite a few of these types of things so it's nice to see you find similar results to me or at least in a similar way. One application method I've become very fond of over the years is to use a separate fresh wash mitt and use it to spread the products over the panels prior to rinsing off. I find this vastly reduces any problems with over application but also teaches you how much you actually need. The Gyeon works amazingly well this way, Seems even more glossy somehow but the Turtle Wax is crazy. You don't need much but gloss & water behavior is ridiculous. Quite impressed by it. You're right though, You just gotta be careful, But when you are they're brilliant products.
Great video John. Been using Gyeon WC for around 3 years now and its always my go to product during the winter months predominantly. I always prep my car at the end of October early November for winter before topping this up every 3 washes or so with Gyeon WC which i find massivley beneficial. I also use it on my alloys but im not sure how much protection that offers whether its resistant to heat or not i dont know. In light of that John i wonder if its possible for you to do a video on alloy wheel protection that is maybe a non ceramic product, ie for the weekend warrior and potentislly look at tezting WC out in this area too
Jon, have you tried any of the Sam’s products? Ive recently tried their Ceramic Boost “wet coat spray sealer” and its good. (Its been around a few years now i think) Would like to know your thoughts? Their twisted loop drying towel is also very good.
Just gave you a sub. Loving the different products and tests. I have just bought a brand new MG HS so I need to look after it, Keep up the great videos Paul
John great vid. Will you be doing a foam only paint protection like, koch chemie pw, krystal kleen detail purity x, valet Pro snow seal, autoglym polar seal? As I've used purity x for years, one of the first foam lance applied protection (as well as being multipurpose) I've switched from wet coat to foam lance applied for ease of use on clients cars.
Great review yet again John, you could quantify the “slickness” with a friction test, put a known weight on a P.T.F.E. Block, and pull it across the surface with a spring balance. Just as an aside, I don’t seem to be able to properly clean my car in less than 3 Hours, and I’m sure it’s just poor technique, how about a tutorial for us newb detail freaks. Keep up the fantastic work.
the trick is to not clean it properly :) I tend to spend an hour if I can ive been really lazy this winter... but yer to clean a car properly can really take a loooong time.. I sort of do little jobs on it.. so like one week I might just do the engine bay properly.. once a year wheels off and do arches etc... Im generally loosing my sort of enthusiasm to really clean it a lot now... but that might come back in summer :)
Guess I could split it into 3, and do front, centre, and rear on alternating weeks, with wheels at week 4...........that way I’ll only be cleaning the car once a Month 😂😂😂😂😂
Be interested to see how Autobrite Sonic sprints compares. £10 a litre atm in the sale. Plus value wise 5-6 trigger sprays would see a whole car done! They also do Top Gloss rinse aid/wax that’s £17 for 5L and applied through a snow foam lance but it’s more a maintenance wash product.
Hey Jon, I went to use my moonlight which I had in my cabinet in the garage. It had turned into a jello like substance. I thought it might be from the cold but it doesn’t seem to be melting. Is it done for? Or is there a way to revive it? Thanks!
Hi mate, great video. Just a quick question. I bought a car last week and it had caked on brake dust on all the alloys. So I got some Sonax wheel cleaner (which was absolutely brilliant!) it got the wheels looking awesome again, but I just wondered what’s the best thing to use to protect the wheels again now that there clean?
So I currently use autoglym rapid aqua wax but have treated myself to a karcher so want to try their polar range. I was wondering - would polar seal replace the need for aqua wax, or should I still use aqua wax when drying after polar seal?
I imagine that over in U.K. your Turtle Wax Dry and Shine is our version of TW Ice Seal N Shine. It's very resilient , for sure, and I've seen videos from your compadres here in the States that rivals or beats the new TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. I'm sure your tests will follow soon enough. 👍
Ed Ruiz The UK equivalent of ICE Seal N Shine is Turtle Wax Hybrid Sealant. The bottle is styled very much like the USA version. I can't see an equivalent for Dry and Shine in the ICE range.
Hyprid ceramic wax: I got best result when sponge wiped 1 sparay on a panel and preasure rinsed. Dry & shine: Spay a mist on wet surface and you can dry it super fast and super dry. The water just dont stay on the surface.
Gr8 stuff Jon. I've got the Gyeon wet coat, Autoglym polar seal & the turtle wax. Rotating them. You mention glass & I'm seeing adverts for duxback & aquapel applicators - would love to hear your recommendation for long term glass products (water run off & ice repellent). 👍🏻
Great review as always! My question is.. what is the need for these products? Are they to be used instead of a traditional sealant/wax or along with? I just cant understand what benifit they would bring to a car that has been sealed and waxed.
its just a way to apply protection rapidly in between stages. And it helps dry the car potentially. A lot of people adopt this method to save time and apply protection while drying. but yes some will argue you get better results more control with spray and wipe, or spread and buff type products.
Hi Jon. I am wondering if you can help me out. I have opened a Workshop in Cornwall. I am doing Body repairs and paint correction. I am bombarded and a bit confused with the millions of products out there so I was wondering what in your opinion are the best products for Quickness, Ease of use, Cheapness (I know you get what you pay for but just need to be able to make money without charging a fortune) and best result for machine polishing. As in Compounds, Polishes and sealers be it Wax or spray seal. Thanks in advance and love the channel. Cheers Marc
Gtechniq Easy Coat has just come out, I'm wondering if it's made the video in time! Would like to see you do a comparison on it because it's all I'll use from now on!
I have gone through just about all of your videos, I've never been in to detailing before, after watching your vids I've learnt sooo much and now I'm cleaning and looking after my car in a whole new way (better way), so thanks to you and your hard work with your channel, keep up the great work, thanks 👍
some really incredibly nice people watch this channel. thanks so much willo comments like this like are the reason I do it.
Sounds very familiar 😉 but I’m a couple of years behind. Better late than never as they say 👍🏽
I love Gyeon products too,their marketing is also fantastic! None of my cars have wheelcoatings...I use Wetcoat every two washes and it makes cleaning the wheels so much easier...I used Wetcoat for several years on my Estoril blue BMW and absolutely loved it. The only reason I stopped using it on bodypanels was because I wanted to try something new. I believe Wetcoat adds a nice gloss,hydrophobicity and makes cleaning the car much easier. Who needs a real coating when you apply Wetcoat regularly??? It can be used to maintain a coating but I think it’s a very good standalone product too...
Wet Coat for the win! I use it and love the self cleaning properties and the gloss that it gives. Simply amazing and worth every dollar
Can't believe a youtube channel with such good quality content has only got 120k subs should be at a million at least
Another brilliant video I’ve always used autoglym polar seal and never had a problem with it and found it to be amazing and my customers have always wowed about it.
Wet coat gets the thumbs up from me here in our very cold climate in Helsinki. The self cleaning properties are indeed there and means in a way I don't wash the car too often throughout the winter. Thanks again Jon for yet another great video! You are really doing the biz on these shoot outs.
Perfect summary of gyeon wet coat, being a detailer myself I try a ton of products and for me hydrophobic protection means nothing if it gets buried in a day, I've tried the famous Meguiars on my personal vehicle and it's a solid consumer product but it's not a consumer friendly and I've even had slight trouble with the residue it can leave behind but it can hide swirls which is totally a Meguiars thing to do.
My summary is:
Polar seal - Ease of use/Value
Turtle Wax - Value/ Powerful
Meguiars - Awesome looking/ great hydrophobicity
Gyeon - Great self cleaner/ powerful
These are the ones I've personally tried and somehow Gyeon just wins it every time 👍🏻
Great video man 💎
spot on yer.. ironcially ease of use or less risk of streaking is more important to a pro than the consumer or guy at home as the pros reputation is on the line.
With an internet saturated by everything American, its so refreshing to see these videos explained exactly how you'd expect things to be explained to you, especially if you're British. I follow what John says so precisely, the information just goes in and stays there.

We love a good BARGAIN
I switch between Sonax and Gyeon Wet Coat as a wet application as they're both awesome. I tend to use a dedicated wash mitt to wipe them over the panel once spraying a couple of streams per panel. Levels the product nicely and takes seconds. Works a treat. Nice vid as always!
wet or dry mitt?
@@Jonay1990 Damp
I have used 5 of these 8 products, and I have found the exact same results. Thanks
I've been using the Sonax and Gyeon lately and agree with your observations. Thanks for the detailed video!
Sonax and McKees37 Hydro blue have always been my go to's due to longevity, gloss and hydrophobicity. Great review!
Sam's Detailing ceramic boost is good btw and more user friendly in comparison to Wet Coat and Hydro 2 Lite.
Great video, love these comparisons.
I’ve been using KCx PW for about a year and I absolutely love it. Wet Coat deserves the top spot for sure, but don’t sleep on PW. I have several large SUVs to maintain, and applying PW with a foam cannon is even easier/quicker/safer than Wet Coat. Never had any streaking or filming and I have very hard water.
I dunno if there’s any KCx science to it but I get great gloss and hydrophobics using AF / NMS / PW every wash.
Koch chemie just released the s0.03 hydro sealant, I will buy it at some point and test it. First I have to finish the Labocosmetica Beneficia, which btw I prefer it to gyeon wet coat in terms of performance and is cheaper also.
Nice results Jon. Loving the Turtle wax for sure.... so easy to use and good value 👍🏼
Very through review again John.
I use Gyeon Wetcoat on some maintenance washes.
I have a video showing a couple of application methods and found that instead of spraying directly onto the panel and rinsing off, I spray it onto a wash mitt and wipe it round, then rinse.
If not, I’ve found that it sometime stains the panels. You also use so much less protector when spraying it onto the wash mitt.
I fancy giving the Koch protector wax a go next 👍🏼
this tip is great, Ive talked about a similiar thing use a wet microfiber and spray and spread to make the film, you can get better film formed.
TW is the winner for me, so cheap and so easy to use and it just works! Readily available too! 🏆
On your advice Jon I purchased the TW Rinse & Dry after being a huge fan of Gyeons Wet Coat. I cannot fault the TW stuff. I do see the same in what you say with Wet Coat in that even as it gets dirty it retains its hydrophobicity through the dirt better.
Regardless bang for buck I cannot fault the TW and it's my winner. Add to that if you apply it by misting 1-2 spritz on the panel, one on a wet MF cloth then spread and rinse... lucky if you use 20ml of product on an average sized car. Works out something ridiculous like 16p per application and as you are leveling it as you spread, reduces the risk of streaks etc to practically 0 in my experience.
Fantastic video Jon, one of my favourites I think 👍
And you can get it for £4.73. I knew you would like it B. Its that instant bond and slickness and hydrophobicity. the wet microfiber is a good thing yer.. the danger with these products is cover the car in them.
Nice tip! I think I might try to spritz, wipe, rinse on my next application of TW. I'd like to try Wet Coat in the future but don't think I'll need any for a while as I've got 2.5 bottles of the TW to get through now! lol
i have used Wet Coat through a snow foam gun, particularly in windier conditions with excellent results. 30ml in 4/500ml of water and keep blasting to rinse off & flush out the foam gun bottle.and then dry all the glass first.. Never had any problems at all.
Love wetcoat, used essence and think its amazing and reduces the cost per use.
Another great video John 👍
Wow, I thought Turtle Wax had it in the bag but because of you explanation I understand why it didn't.
I’ve been using Gyeon wet coat since it’s release and I’ve found that chasing 2-3 sprays around a panel with a fresh wash mitt and clean water before rinsing with a power washer is the way to go 👍
Defo Kris that will help spread it.. wet clean plush microfiber works as well.
Do you rinse out the cloth between panels? Also is the cloth reusable after a machine wash or does the wet coat gum it up?
Cheers.
@@jonajones530 I keep a bucket of clean water and dunk between panels.
Towel or mitt will be fine afterwards. It won’t “gum up” whatsoever.
that's why I use Griots 3 in 1 ceramic wax. goes on everything including glass plastics. trim etc effortlessly with no streaking and lasts through many chemical washes.
If I am doing a maintenance wash I like Gyeon Bathe+, it adds a layer of protection while you wash. So far it's the only wash soap with such claims I have used that actually works.
I have used wet coat by gyeon for years, I bought a new car last year took it to my retailer for a full car refinement and coated with gyeon MOHs. I wash it at least once a month using wet coat as a top coat type thing and it’s perfect, no swirls no marks on the paint at all with its self cleaning and hardness I don’t have to apply any pressure to get any dirt off.
yes, its good isnt it Big Al. like as well as it not clogging up it just seems like it helps keep the car a bit cleaner..
I used the Turtle Wax dry and shine last weekend for the 2nd time, first time I used it went perfectly fine and was fantastic, great beading and lasted very well.
2nd time I used it I over applied it and I made an absolute mess, found the easiest way to clear it up was with a quick detailer and for the glass some glass cleaner.
It also made a mess of all the rubbers as well so I had to clean them too.
Lesson learnt, don't over apply and thoroughly rinse it down If you do.
I will still use it I just need to learn to apply it right.
a lot of people have said very similiar things. I keep it away from glass. I just do one sort of mist on a panel and rinse off with hose in other hand.. and obviously make sure car is loaded with surface water and nice and cool. and I give it a good towel down.. but yer its easy to mess up I think. TW and megs hardest to apply without risk of bad applciation cheers kyle.
Love your reviews! Unbiased and very professional. Although I am a weekend warrior, I've relied on your videos to buy what I think works for me.. Keep up the good work.
Michael
Great Comparison as always Jon, I personally use Gyeon Wet Coat for all the same reasons you stated, it's just a great all round product that maintains the car appearance longer due to the self cleaning properties. Some great products coming to the market recently.
I've not used anything other than Auto Glym as it's so easy to use and lasts a few months, and you only use 40ml so a good price . Thanks for the video 👍
Love these comparison tests. Thanks John.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can give me
@Kendall Joshua Instablaster ;)
John, thanks for a great comprehensive review on these products.
I recently bought the Megs Hybrid Ceramic Wax and I admit I hated it initially. I never over applied but simply couldn’t get it off the panels leaving a decent finish.
I even tried Sandro’s recommendation of applying to a dry car, which was even worse.
Watching one of Megs newer how to videos made the penny drop, the carry is essential soap! The secret is to wash off the carrier.
This adds a step to the process but it seems to work reliability. Wash the car, rinse and leave wet. Spray every panel, using very little product (bottle well shaken). Wipe in completely using a microfibre (like the base layer application). Now rinse the car thoroughly (power washer or hose), then finally towel dry.
Wiping in, spreads the product evenly and the second rinse, removes the carrier, which I think is the cause of the application difficulties.
hey there Ive only applied it a couple of times on cars but tested it about 3-4 now. When I applied it first on the golf I just washed and rinsed and go tthe car 95% dry with a towel. then used a wet microfiber pad to work in some product to a section of panel. I just made sure I had a decent thin film.. then buffed. I realiseyou dont or shouldnt buff it to a high and dry shine.. just level it and leave it. Then the next day the car is awesome and repelling well. that seems to work for me.
when spraying and rinsing key I think is just mist small amounts on and blast around.. rather than sort of end up with a big puddle of white product which is not spread. pressure washer important yer.
totally agree with what you are saying you just need to make some adjustments. but once you got it layed out it seems to last well.
John, thanks for the reply. I actually followed your instructions (which are similar to guard and gloss) but I am definitely seeing better results by rinsing off the carrier.
Enjoy the channel.
Dave
Really informative video 👍 I was detailing my dads car and was in a rush to finish. So I sprayed and rinced Turtle wax dry & shine on the car and then took it for a quick dive like the bottle said. When I got back the car was covered front to back with dark streaks. Took me forever to get thsm off. Over all it's an amazing product. Just don't drive to dry it.
yes and to be fair all you did was follow the instructions. so it has perhaps an issue there. its something that needs to be applied carefully.
I learnt from my mistake. I towl dried the wifes car after I did hers next and wow, what a difference. Thanks for the video and look forward to the next installment.
Great video Jon. I used the Turtle Wax "Dry & Shine" today and did as you advised, a panel at a time with the aid of a clean damp microfibre cloth and power washed it off. Great result. Love it!
I use Wet Coat, absolutely agree, its a great product, thanks for all your testing Jon.
I used a full bottle of Turtlewax Dry & Shine for one application! I first did it on my wheels then rinsed it off and re applied it on my wheels. I then did it on my car and thought i had to cover the whole panels and then did it a second time. But i got amazing results. The slickness of it is something ive never seen before and the beading is crazy! I have alot of car detailing products but nothing i have compares to TX D&S
jesus christ a whole bottle Pete :) thats like tell me you went out on the beers and drunk 30 pints.
this product is really really cool isnt it. genuinly cool.. when I first used it and toweled the car down. it was the way the towel felt on the car which impressed me.. the car also looked great and was beading like crazy.. And you can buy it for £3.50..
people are correct you do need to be careful with it.. I dont really use it near glass.. and if you use too much its critical to blast away all the excess which you will see as like "white" liquid flying off the car when you rinse.. but yer this is a great product for an incredible price.
Gyeon WC is my favorite also. Just tested Bouncers Bead Juice vs Gyeon WC on a daily driver and Gyeon was winner
I love this channel. Jon never change dammit. When all these other channels are fluffing reviews for money you're one of very few who maintains integrity in this business and I love it!
I thought at first what a great idea for my ceramic coated car but if used then it rains shortly after the water spotting is so bad the only way to remove is to machine polish so I don’t or would never bother with them again.
A great vid John
I would only recomend wet coat for coated Car peter.. but also use somethign like cure or reload or C2v3 to solve the spotting vulnerability not a spray and rinse one your right mate.
I felt sure right up until the end that Sonax was going to win! Great review as always Jon though I am struggling to see the point of this category of products. Am I right in thinking they are aimed at people who want to clean their car, apply this, rinse, dry and then do nothing else on top?
Is it safe to put anything else on top, say an si02 product? Is there any point? Are there things that you should definitely not put on top?
For relatively new to the game people like me there is a danger of layering product after product after product through lack of understanding or more likely total confusion which may be a total waste of money and time or worse may ruin any results or maybe even not be good for your paintwork.
I wish someone would come up with a kind of flow chart of product categories and systems to follow if you get what I mean?
I mean you don't want to go through all the stages of cleaning your car and prepping it (and there are enough potentially confusing stages in each of those phases let's face it!) and then ceramic coat it, wax it, detail spray it, si02 it, paint seal it etc etc etc do you? You need to choose a route to go down and not duplicate results or apply totally unnecessary products to get zero improvement or even reduce your results.
Now who do we know that has the technical knowledge and a good enough analytical mind to produce such a flow chart type thingamajig? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
these are adding protection mate, it would be overload to then apply protection. I also think things like wet coat benefit from being left alone. I think it cures more.
these products are a way of applying the car as you dry, and help drying the car. Its a lazy way of applying protecting.. its kind of nice but you need to be carefull. specially with glass and streaking.
Thanks for a great video John. I personally use Meguiars HCW in a dry application which really helps to see the high spots and allows you to buff them off with a microfiber cloth. Less product waste too. Water beading is fantastic.
Quite surprised with low scores of koch PW. I am happy with this one so far as a winter sucrificial. It bumps the looks but requires some time to bond/net. It shines like crazy on a uni red paint. This is not a fine carnauba look, I would call it plasicky, but it does the synthetic shine thing realy well. It is not slick to touch at all. Also, cost effectivness. This is 1:100 so 1 liter gives a hundred, spraying this by hand sprayer you are using up to a 0,5ltr, 200 applications, 20 pounds a liter in queens money :) Also, never had a smallest issue on glass - I was using this even after having a good prewash, only! Then air-drying my car at some excesive speed ;)
Great video as always, love Gyeon! I run Gyeon Bath plus though a lance after washing and it and that works amazing. Worth a try!!!
Sonax spray and seal for me, been really impressed with the durability of it. I've used the TW stuff on a neighbours car that had bsd on it previously and I don't think the panels kept enough water on them before I could wash them free of the product. It did leave it streaky. But for price you really can't complain.
Would love to see a comparison with CarPro Hydro2
I leave my classic mini parked out in all weathers and it has Maguires ceramic wax Applied to it. My mini always looks clean without “wetting it down” after, in my opinion it self cleans brilliantly. It’s been parked for 3 weeks and it’s clean and is clean still.
Absolutely love these tests! Jon you're the best 🙄
Great video! The best comparison videos I've ever seen. Thanks to his detailed videos, I decide what to buy.
Hi loving your video best RUclipsr out there,g wet coat thinking about getting some i clean my cars every week my question can I use every other wash because love to see it shine lol
I am posting comment 0.53 seconds into the video. I havent seen your results or recommendations yet. Just want to post what I personally use, Gyeon Wetcoat and love it. Am curious to see how it holds up against the rest.
I know it’s cheap and most people think it’s rubbish but as a drying aid you should have factored daemon shine it’s shrinks up standing water as soon as it hits it’s the only thing I use it for and it’s very cheap
its just not a spray and rinse sealant Dale. But I like demonshine as well for a retail ready to roll thing its not bad.. its slick as well when it dries.
Brilliant video, would have been nice to see carpro hydro02 light and kkd purity x which is highly regarded as one of the best of these type of products, also another one that is very good and people don't know about is cartect water repellent which is fantastic, as regards sonax spray and seal its worth mentioning its 750ml as opposed to some of the others at 500ml etc and also you can get it for around £10 from autodoc, infact at the moment it's £8.71 on their, and i also realise you can't test all of them lol, good works as always anyway john.
I'm still using Wetcoat on top of Moonlight based on your recommendation a while ago and not changing any time soon! Was worried it hadn't made the top 4 but a nice surprise at the end there.
Great comparrison. How long did this video take to make considering longevity testing etc?
you gave a great informative "Hack" in one of your shootouts a while back explaining how "wet applied" products are concentrated....useful hack
I've been using dry and shine over the top of seal and shine. Great combo, bomb proof nature of seal and shine with better gloss of dry and shine, hard to beat.
Is the seal and shine the black and red bottle from TW? Dunno what the difference is between the them and what lasts longer. Also have you tried either on alloys and if so how long do they last and would you say the product works?
Another great video Jon!
I'd love to see you try EZ Car Care's "Insta-Gloss". They have three spray and rinse sealants, but the "Insta-Gloss" is the "special" one in my opinion. It leaves incredible gloss and a beautifully slick finish. You apply it with a foam lance.
I was actually using Sonax spray & seal, but I changed for Beadmaker. I may go back to the Sonax because I have 2 bottles left.. my worry was: could I apply one product on top of the other ! with Sonax first it was OK. Now I am afraid I would have to really do a strip wash to start it all over again. My first layer is always Collinite 845. But the ease of application of a spray and seal product is really nice....
used to use Gyeon Bathe+ and Wetcoat combo, but tried TW Dry & Shine a few times, and its just as good and half the cost! Same rules apply, as you said, don't apply too much.
i use Gyeon Wet Coat on my wheels!! nice work Jon!!
Dan Morrissette me too. Poor mans ceramic coating for wheels. Cheap and easy enough to apply
Agree about the Megs. I found it tricky the first couple of times I did the spray and rinse application. Quick spray, then at it with the pressure washer.
Megs for the win for me, Great review John.
I agree with using "consumer grade" products as a pro. For me it just comes down to price to performance. It doesn't matter what the category is, it is just about getting the best results for the best price. Some products I use are very expensive but they are worth it to me for the use case, some products I use are super cheap and perform just as good as the "PRO" versions for far less money.
Great video. Thanks for all your hard work.
I use Bouncers Bead Juice.
It’s easy to apply and lasts for months.
I bought some Meguiar’s Ceramic after watching one of your previous videos, but not used it yet.
I’m going to get some Turtle Wax too, after watching this video.
Glad to hear the result ,I got 4 LTRs of geon ,which makes it better value ,I also like done and dusted si ( in the black bottle ) ,I find it looks great on the car .
Used Maguiars and Turtle Wax. To the letter. The Maguiars came out best in my book.
Have you tried Carbon Collective Hybrid Coating 2.0? It looks very good and economical.
I've been enjoying using the autoglym polar seal the ease of application makes it so fast to apply and can't really over apply it using a lance.
Excellent vid, well done, just bought a bottle of Turtle Wax Spray and Shine and it is brilliant, I always use Autoglym products as well as their Polar Seal product but the Turlte Wax to me works brilliantly
Geyon wet coat and turtle are the winner for me. I use geyon right now 👍🏻
Would love to see autofinesse aqua coat. I think it's a uk based brand, so should be acessible to you.
its about the same as Wetcoat, on ability and price.
Agreed. Very good. Would like to see gyeon wetcoat vs aqua coat. The bottle i think is bigger too, value for money wise
@@pete8824 - yes Jon had the smaller 500ml Wetcoat bottle, the 1L Wetcoat and 1L Aquacoat are about £16-18 each in UK
@@Mogsy28uk would be a good comparison video. I've used aqua coat which i like and ceramic hybrid wax which I'm not a big fan of. It seems to do next to nothing on glass, where as aqua coat is very good on glass
I have a bottle of Auto Finesse Aqua Coat which I have yet to try, had forgotten all about it until I read your posts so cheers for that!
Be carefull with the wet coat, i have been using it for a while. I loved it! Loved! Not love. When the botle was close to empty i startet notice spots on My paint. It looked almost like clumps of wax, and it realy hard to remove with a towle. Aside for that, great product👍🏽
I think you do have to be carefull with it. Im convinced it has hardeners in there as well.. but whatever material it lays down it does offer self cleaning I think. Very good stuff. I also keep it away from glass and trim as well.
I have tried the megs hybrid ceramic wax and found the first coat a tad smeary but second was better safety another wash. I have found Power maxes winter coat and summer jacket and found these very good and only about £7 per bottle and you don’t need much?
Could you do a video on how different levels prep affect wax or sealant? I am curious to see just how much more durability you can get if you strip everything off first versus lets say using soap with gloss enhancers and old paint protection still lingering.
It's a shame you missed Griot's Poly Gloss. That's some really good stuff. Leaves great gloss behind, and some pretty decent hydrophobics. Super easy to use, and I usually put two coats.
i spray geon wetcoat on glass and it works good. But i use a pressure washer to rinse which is critical to use
Brilliant video, just bought the Turtle Wax Dry & Shine to see what it’s all about! Out of curiosity do you have the Motech springs and spacers fitted to the M140i? If so what sizes? I’ve just bought KSB Splitter, Skirts and rear Splitters for my M140i and love the way your car sits. Cheers
I’ve been using Carbon Collective’s Hybrid, can dilute 10-1 and it’s fantastic in my opinion. Lasts a good 2-3 months
OOooh i've been waiting patiently for this one! :) I currently have 4 of the products showcased here, and as always, a cracking job Jon!
Awesome job you do here my man! Keep it going :). One Q: can we use TW/Sonax like spray and wipe with "wet" towel to dry the car instead of spray and rinse like? Also, doesn't it make it last longer? I'm always drying my car with a towel after washing, as I hate dirt sticking to it just after washing. So which one should do the job at drying with the towel?
Amazing interesting comparison. Why no wash coat from nanolex? Is like the same concentrate as koch pw or AG polar blast?
Wheres the Autobrite Direct products? asking for a friend :p
Excellent video Jon, Just superb. I've tried quite a few of these types of things so it's nice to see you find similar results to me or at least in a similar way. One application method I've become very fond of over the years is to use a separate fresh wash mitt and use it to spread the products over the panels prior to rinsing off. I find this vastly reduces any problems with over application but also teaches you how much you actually need. The Gyeon works amazingly well this way, Seems even more glossy somehow but the Turtle Wax is crazy. You don't need much but gloss & water behavior is ridiculous. Quite impressed by it. You're right though, You just gotta be careful, But when you are they're brilliant products.
Great video John. Been using Gyeon WC for around 3 years now and its always my go to product during the winter months predominantly. I always prep my car at the end of October early November for winter before topping this up every 3 washes or so with Gyeon WC which i find massivley beneficial. I also use it on my alloys but im not sure how much protection that offers whether its resistant to heat or not i dont know. In light of that John i wonder if its possible for you to do a video on alloy wheel protection that is maybe a non ceramic product, ie for the weekend warrior and potentislly look at tezting WC out in this area too
Jon, have you tried any of the Sam’s products?
Ive recently tried their Ceramic Boost “wet coat spray sealer” and its good. (Its been around a few years now i think)
Would like to know your thoughts?
Their twisted loop drying towel is also very good.
Just gave you a sub. Loving the different products and tests. I have just bought a brand new MG HS so I need to look after it,
Keep up the great videos
Paul
Welcome to the channel 😁
John great vid. Will you be doing a foam only paint protection like, koch chemie pw, krystal kleen detail purity x, valet Pro snow seal, autoglym polar seal? As I've used purity x for years, one of the first foam lance applied protection (as well as being multipurpose) I've switched from wet coat to foam lance applied for ease of use on clients cars.
hey tim search you tube for the best spray sealant drying aid you will see my video comparing lots of products.
Great review yet again John, you could quantify the “slickness” with a friction test, put a known weight on a P.T.F.E. Block, and pull it across the surface with a spring balance.
Just as an aside, I don’t seem to be able to properly clean my car in less than 3 Hours, and I’m sure it’s just poor technique, how about a tutorial for us newb detail freaks.
Keep up the fantastic work.
the trick is to not clean it properly :) I tend to spend an hour if I can ive been really lazy this winter... but yer to clean a car properly can really take a loooong time.. I sort of do little jobs on it.. so like one week I might just do the engine bay properly.. once a year wheels off and do arches etc... Im generally loosing my sort of enthusiasm to really clean it a lot now... but that might come back in summer :)
Guess I could split it into 3, and do front, centre, and rear on alternating weeks, with wheels at week 4...........that way I’ll only be cleaning the car once a Month 😂😂😂😂😂
Be interested to see how Autobrite Sonic sprints compares. £10 a litre atm in the sale. Plus value wise 5-6 trigger sprays would see a whole car done! They also do Top Gloss rinse aid/wax that’s £17 for 5L and applied through a snow foam lance but it’s more a maintenance wash product.
Eagle one quick detailer is out of this world. That's some good stuff.🖒
Hey Jon, I went to use my moonlight which I had in my cabinet in the garage. It had turned into a jello like substance. I thought it might be from the cold but it doesn’t seem to be melting. Is it done for? Or is there a way to revive it? Thanks!
Hi mate, great video.
Just a quick question. I bought a car last week and it had caked on brake dust on all the alloys. So I got some Sonax wheel cleaner (which was absolutely brilliant!) it got the wheels looking awesome again, but I just wondered what’s the best thing to use to protect the wheels again now that there clean?
Jon, Can you compare sonax new ceramic spray vs BSD so we can see which is better?
Will do
So I currently use autoglym rapid aqua wax but have treated myself to a karcher so want to try their polar range. I was wondering - would polar seal replace the need for aqua wax, or should I still use aqua wax when drying after polar seal?
Great vid again Jon, I like you love the Turtle Wax products. Keep em coming buddy 👍👍👍👍
I imagine that over in U.K. your Turtle Wax Dry and Shine is our version of TW Ice Seal N Shine. It's very resilient , for sure, and I've seen videos from your compadres here in the States that rivals or beats the new TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. I'm sure your tests will follow soon enough. 👍
Ed Ruiz The UK equivalent of ICE Seal N Shine is Turtle Wax Hybrid Sealant. The bottle is styled very much like the USA version. I can't see an equivalent for Dry and Shine in the ICE range.
Hyprid ceramic wax: I got best result when sponge wiped 1 sparay on a panel and preasure rinsed. Dry & shine: Spay a mist on wet surface and you can dry it super fast and super dry. The water just dont stay on the surface.
Gr8 stuff Jon. I've got the Gyeon wet coat, Autoglym polar seal & the turtle wax. Rotating them. You mention glass & I'm seeing adverts for duxback & aquapel applicators - would love to hear your recommendation for long term glass products (water run off & ice repellent). 👍🏻
Great review as always!
My question is.. what is the need for these products? Are they to be used instead of a traditional sealant/wax or along with?
I just cant understand what benifit they would bring to a car that has been sealed and waxed.
its just a way to apply protection rapidly in between stages. And it helps dry the car potentially. A lot of people adopt this method to save time and apply protection while drying.
but yes some will argue you get better results more control with spray and wipe, or spread and buff type products.
Hi Jon. I am wondering if you can help me out. I have opened a Workshop in Cornwall. I am doing Body repairs and paint correction. I am bombarded and a bit confused with the millions of products out there so I was wondering what in your opinion are the best products for Quickness, Ease of use, Cheapness (I know you get what you pay for but just need to be able to make money without charging a fortune) and best result for machine polishing. As in Compounds, Polishes and sealers be it Wax or spray seal.
Thanks in advance and love the channel.
Cheers
Marc
Gtechniq Easy Coat has just come out, I'm wondering if it's made the video in time! Would like to see you do a comparison on it because it's all I'll use from now on!
ill definetly go again and get that in JP. cheers mate.
