Polish Angel is the best of all the things you want. That’s what you’re paying for. There are plenty of other products that “for the money” come close. But honestly there are more expensive as well. Their products are simply the best for the enthusiast. Not the weekend warrior “detailer”. This or cosmic spritz as a maintenance over power lock Every 3 months has power lock lasting a year outside daily driving before stripping, 3800 polishing and re applying. Still using Chemical guys glossworks for maintenance washing. The only product they have left worth buying. This has been my go to system for a while now! Love your channel.
People who are commenting saying this stuff isn't worth the price tag have clearly never seen these products perform with their own eyes. A video will not do these product's justice as you have to see the gloss and hydrophobics for yourself to fully appreciate it. Polish Angel is not meant for somebody who is looking to spend the least amount of money protecting their vehicle. Directly comparing this product to anything from Turtle Wax is absolutely a joke. Aside from that.... fantastic video as always man.
Thanks Jordan! I can say for a fact that I don't want to spend what Polish Angel is requesting, but I WILL spend that amount when I run out in the future. They're too satisfying of a spray protectant to work with to not have one of these on the shelf at any given time. And you're right, I can't capture the entire experience on camera of what these are like to work with, it's just different than anything else that I've used. And perhaps that uniqueness commands a premium when you combine that with the amazing hydrophobics and great wipeability of their formulas. I need to get my hands on some of the other products in the lineup, these three are the only ones that I've used so far and I'm not disappointed.
@@WaxMode I totally understand not wanting to pay the premium but for people to bash products they haven't tried really grinds my gears lol. in my case though I absolutely love everything they have to offer and am willing to pay the premium to have the best of the best in terms of user experience and hydrophobics. durability is underrated as well. People think torture tests are sole indicators to a product's performance long term. Let me know if you want any recommendations on products to try. I highly recommend checking out their windshield coating 👍🏼
While yes, Polish Angel is on the end of the higher priced products in Auto Detailing, I still really enjoy using all of their products. Many people will say "No way, there's nothing worth that!", "That's ridiculous". I will say that Polish Angel is for enthusiast ONLY! If you are not an enthusiast, you probably shouldn't buy their products. For those who enjoy using the BEST detailing products available on the market today, Polish Angel has those type products. EVERYTHING they make is very well thought out, well engineered, and quite simply WORKS! And works INCREDIBLY WELL! I just compounded, polished, and sealed my car using their "Master" series and my car looks stunning. I just did the wheels with Supersports, their liquid wheel sealant, which is another great product that can be used "stand alone" or on top of any wax, sealant, or wheel coating. And I love their "DIVER" glass cleaner which does have a little window sealant in it as well. I sealed my windows using Glassparency and then I use DIVER as the maintenance product. It's the most expensive window cleaner there is, but again, you get what you pay for with it. Very few window products work like DIVER does. More are coming out as of late though. CLARIFY by Car Pro is another fantastic window product but I think DIVER is definitely a notch above anything else. I love everything about Polish Angel and I will continue to use their products just because I enjoy using them. I'm jumping up to their Color infused wax next which is crazy expensive but again, I only use the products on my good car. I do NOT use them on my daily drivers. I use other products for that which work effectively too because I just don't want to spend that kind of money on a daily driver. There is definitely a market out there for Polish Angel. Thanks for doing this video, it's a great one!
Could you do a comparison of Polish Angel products vs the NV Nova line that Sandro from Car Craft Auto Detailing features on his channel? The similarities make them seem like the best all around paint protectants on the market now albeit with their premium price tag.
Excellent review Waxmode ,definitely will be trying a couple of these in the near future. Price is nothing if it’s what your passionate about and enjoy doing. Everyone has a hobby or interest that they spend money on so to each their own. Like many detailers and enthusiasts it’s what we do and I’m always excited to try and have new products to work with. Enjoyed the video as always and thank you for your insight and knowledge.
Thanks Miller! Would love to hear what you think of them if you try them out, for me a lot of this comes down to the satisfaction derived from working with the products, and I think Polish Angel really excels at that with these sprays.
I bought rapidwaxx the other day. Fantastic wipe off! Absolutely no residual streaking. I noticed it also fills in light swirls very well. Great product. Video answered all my questions 👍👍
Another killer video man!!! I saw this pop up and was excited. I can NOT wait to give the GSX a Polish Angel makeover. Surprises me the identical performance in Rapidwaxx vs High gloss. Both fantastic though. I agree, they need to re visit there label making and make them look better for the price they charge. Looking forward to more tests brother!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Smurf! Yeah I can't wait to see that GSX all glossed up! I think the bulk of the chemistry between Rapidwaxx, High Gloss, and Cosmic Spritz is pretty similar when we get down to the fundamentals. The SDS sheets are all listing different mixtures of titanium-dioxide and silicon-dioxide, so in the very short term they do showcase some very comparable hydrophobics and wipeability. Ultimately Cosmic Spritz and High Gloss might edge out Rapidwaxx in longterm durability, but I'm going to be using all of them on a regular basis if I had them on a garage queen which really negates that durability stat. I need to grab a darker painted daily driver and really try and focus on the jetting and depth and reflectance capabilities of High Gloss, I have seen guys say that High Gloss is the more impressive finish. Yeah dude, definitely looking forward to your video on Polish Angel!
@@WaxMode ahhh ok.. I got you. That close on ingredients will be hard to tell! And man, it's coming soon man I promise! Full day of pampering my baby! 🤣 and I won't be doing ANY durability anything haha. Its gonna get kept up 100% garage queen LOL
I'm a simple man I see Polish Angel video and I like. I've used a little of their entire line. The absolute gold standard when it comes to easy of application of spray waxes. I bought the cosmic line, may do it this weekend. My car currently has 2 coats of Master Sealant maintenanced with Presto Detail. Water absolutely just falls off.
Best product I've ever used. Nothing to compare with other products out there. Price,more than normal. A little goes a long way, hence the price. Totally different level. Love Polish Angel.
Awesome video! I have RapidWax but haven’t used it yet. Now I am excited to use it and hope to soon. I love your breakdown of products man no one does it better then you.
Thanks so much FAB! Yes, definitely give it a shot and let me know what you think about it, would love to hear your thoughts. Be careful though, you might get bit by that Polish Angel bug and start dishing out these insane prices for more real quick!
hey brian....visited with jim last week....shared info about u and the new garage...and hoping u will try the ceramic wash soon stay safe and all your faimly - STAY WELL
I have Cosmic Spritz and High Gloss haven't tried the Rapid wax. I would say the High Gloss on my dark blue Civic is of the chart in reflectivity . I think I will need to top my CSL/EXO coating with some High Gloss. Polish Angel products are handmade in Germany and shipped directly from Germany nothing better . The Cosmic coating is simple to use but not as durable as the CSL/EXO combo coating. You need wait for AutoGeek to have good sale get a gallon of Reset . I have gallon of Iron X also since I use every 6 months to decon my coated cars.You need 3 way shoot out with Cosmic Spritz in there. I like use Cosmic during the winter months as a topper since I found it more durable. Love to see you put in a 3 way battle. You order directly from Polish Angel and ship fast directly from Germany by DHL .
Cheers Doc! Yeah I would definitely reach for Cosmic Spritz or High Gloss on top of CSL/EXO as opposed to C2v3. I might put CSL and EXOv4 on the Honda test car for the next batch of coating durability tests, as well as Gyeon Syncro, and the new Ethos Graphene Matrix coating. I actually snagged up these three Polish Angel products during the 30% off sale that Autopia was running years ago, kind of disappointed they're not restocking the line but I think they were having some issues with the US distribution chain for Polish Angel. I haven't tried ordering direct from Polish Angel yet.
Many thanks for your time as always. The nightmare inside these bottles can cause problems with clogging especially when temps drop.Running the bottle under warm water helps. I’ve been a big fan of high gloss for a while and haven’t found anything that comes close. However, I recently starting playing with the carnauba arts gray graphite, I was so impressed by the appearance I ordered the gold to see what effect it would have. The carnauba arts series has outstanding water sheeting (just like high gloss). At a car meet over the weekend I was asked several times what I used on my car to make it glow. Anyway, there are some of us that use these products as toppers and prefer great shine and glow that last a wash or two compared to long lasting durability. It would be awesome to get your opinion on carnauba arts.
Appreciate the feedback RixLC! Yeah we get to skip out on the cold down here in Florida so I haven't had any issues with these clogging up the sprayers. I've definitely got to save up some before I start snagging up some more products for testing but I absolutely want to grab some of the Carnauba Arts collection. What are you thoughts on Presto Detail, have you been able to try this one out?
WaxMode I have not tried any of their detail sprays. I have used combinations of High Gloss and Carnauba Arts as toppers on Angelwax 5th, Desirable and Enigma. I’ve also used Snowman and Flake for washing. Flake leaves a great shine for contact washes, I liked it so much I bought the 1000ml bottle on my second purchase.
Brilliant demo video! I’m confused which one to get between these 3 from Polish Angel - High Gloss/Cosmic Spritz/Graphene Spritz. My chalk Panamera is fully PPFd and also coated, so I’m looking for a very good topper to keep that insane beading and maintain it.
Thanks c Man! Polish Angel has a unique type of scent where the more I use it the more I tend to gravitate towards liking it! Kind of like CarPro Reload and Gyeon Cure!
Thanks James! I did a separate video with High Gloss and Cosmic Spritz about a year ago, check it out at this link here: ruclips.net/video/44yY1zl7VeI/видео.html
I still have trouble wrapping my head around why beading is a "thing"? Imo, since I own a Black car with soft paint, my #1 issue is with water spotting, so why isn't there a product line that "sheets" water off the surface? As long as there is a hydrophobic character to the surface why not make a water sheeting product that will not leave water spots when those "beads" dry?
I've run a lot of testing and observations with spotting with a variety of different products with varying degrees of hydrophobic and hydrophilic behaviors. The only surface that is able really avoid spotting are the highly contaminated fully hydrophilic unprotected surfaces. Basically all the neighbors' cars that have never washed or waxed the paint for years. On clean paint, when I decontaminate it and polish the surface and leave it unprotected, that surface is still going to produce a large amount of individual beading left behind even after a monster rainstorm, it's repelling the water faster than the rainstorm can populate the paint to form the water sheet and flood the surface. You would need a product that leaves a less hydrophobic or more hydrophilic footprint than clean/bare/decontaminated/unprotected clearcoat to avoid spotting. And I haven't seen any product on the market that is able to do this. Because of the inability for the market to produce overly hydrophilic and durable paint protectants, the spotting issue cannot be 100% avoided, it doesn't matter if the beads left behind on the paint are oblong and larger, or round and tight, spotting occurs when standing water is left behind in individual beads when allowed to dry if the water is not 100% pure. Less hydrophobic products that sheet water off when flooding with the hose nozzle, this sheeting is only beneficial to me when I'm the one in control of that water nozzle. Left behind in a rainstorm, these products never produce a hydrophilic water sheet and I'm left with exorbitant water beading, so they don't hold a higher utility for me compared to the extremely hydrophobic paint protectants that are super easy to blow dry the water off the paint without using a drying towel.
This was addressed by meguiars in the 90s they had waxes that would sheet more then bead. The consumer wanted beading so meguairs changed their formulation to answer the demand of the consumer. They do have a select handful of sealants and coatings that sheet more then bead but nothing like we non spotters are looking for.
After using Polishangel Rapidwaxx for about 2 years now on four cars that I've owned/own in that time I have to say, it's my favorite detailing product so far. This stuff absolutely excells in almost every aspect and when you consider its durability and the amount of product actually used per application it isn't that expensive at all. With the contents of one 500 ml bottle a car is perfectly coated for a full two years easily. Probably longer. That's 45$ spread over 24+ months for something that is my hobby, my absolute passion... That's less than two bucks per month and I couldn't disagree more with those who say that's too expensive. But hey, that's just my opinion.
Appreciate the feedback! I still love pulling them out, and after all these years the shelf life appears to be holding up perfectly. I still think they're absolutely hosing us on pricing, especially when you make the jump from Rapidwaxx to High Gloss and Cosmic Spritz. Increasing SiO2 and TiO2 levels should not result in a 200%+ increase in price, and the rest of the base chemistry appears to be identical in function between them. If the only thing they're changing is those levels of SiO2 and TiO2, then their pricing makes zero sense to me. They could drop the price across the board and utterly dominate the market with volume. Or I'm wrong and the raw materials between them are a major price factor that determines their pricing, but I doubt that's the case. Just like with Zymol and Swissvax back in the day, exclusivity alone is the attributor to high pricing, not performance or raw materials.
Thanks Kenny! That is the Solo 418 handheld pump sprayer. Had it for a few years now mainly with a waterless wash dilution of Wolfgang Uber Rinseless to use as a pre-soak before rinseless washing. Now I've got the mineral spirits in there to see how the sprayer holds up during regular use on the test panel, I've nuked quite a few sprayer tops with Prep-All.
Which is of these would be best as a topper for cquartz 3.0? Using bead maker right now but would love something a little stronger for the winter here in Michigan. Or maybe you would say just stick with what works.
@WaxMode - video on point as usual. Only comments to add are 1) PA products don't like alkaline cleaners (high pH snow foams etc), 2) I'm surprised you think they are unscented, there is definitely a distinctive PA smell which is as mesmerising as the ease of use...Spritz, High Gloss, Blue Xilion, Supersport PTFE all smell similar. Those mineral spirits must be getting to you :P
Yeah it definitely does have a smell, I think what I was trying to say was it doesn't have a specific scented fragrance, and I've always been a big sucker for the good smelling products. But it's funny, this stuff performs so good that I actually don't mind the smell that they have, you're right it just smells like Polish Angel and it's not unpleasant. But if they could figure out how to make this smell like Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax, it would be game over for me, I'd have to shut the channel down because the quest would be over!
Thanks for this review! I just found your channel, you've got some very helpful videos! I've just waxed my "Deep Black Perleffect" GTI with Collinite 915 and am now looking for a good quality product to apply after washing the car, just to refresh the wax, enhance the gloss and beading. Which one of the three PolishAngel products you featured in this video would you recommend for that? I am specifically considering Rapidwaxx and High Gloss - do you know, which one of those might be best suited for my use case? Greets from germany and keep it up!
Hey Justus! Polish Angel is based in Germany which is awesome for you, shipping should be really quick. I would try out Rapidwaxx first because of the price to see if you like that style of product, and it should go really well on top of the 915 on your metallic black GTI. High Gloss gets a ton of high remarks for gloss, but I still think it's worth to spend less on the Rapidwaxx on maybe the smaller size, and then experiment afterwards with High Gloss if you decide that you really enjoy these types of Polish Angel sprays. I have never been disappointed in the finish left behind from Rapidwaxx and I think the durability and quality of the hydrophobic behavior between the products are pretty similar. Cheers!
@@WaxMode Alright, cool, thank you! I'll then try the Rapidwaxx. Also very helpful to know that you found no big difference in beading and durability between those two products! Thanks ;)
Thanks for the review. Would you suggest Rapidwax. As a topper for Cquartz lite. How does the gloss compare to Elixir and reload on top of Cquartz lite. Thx for your time !
I'm loving Rapidwaxx on top of the other coatings, I haven't used it yet on top of CQuartz Lite but it's been absolutely fantastic for CQuartz Tio2, CQUK 3.0, and Blackfire Pro. I actually prefer Rapidwaxx compared to Elixir and Reload, the gloss between them is pretty similar but I feel Rapidwaxx goes on easier and is more satisfying to work with.
Heard alot about Polish Angel, supposedly is amazing. Have you tried Ethos D3FY? More reasonably priced and amazing results ,plus made in USA. Thanks for a very informative video
Thanks Meek! Ethos Defy I've been enjoying this as a drying aid, smells amazing, and when I use it wet it wipes really clean without streaking. Not going to be the hydrophobic monster, I definitely prefer something like Rapidwaxx as a drying aid and overall product, but Defy is nice and slick and fun to play around with. I've got Defy and Ceramic Refresh on top of the Ceramic Wax Pro on the test car and they're working great.
I would go with Power Lock as the base and then Rapidwaxx on top for maintenance. I think Power Lock is just an all around fantastic base protectant to work with.
Great review and it's the reason why I bought a 200ml of rapidwaxx yesterday. Would it be good idea to add 100ml of distilled water to help with spraying and make the product less gunky?
Thanks! I haven’t tested any dilutions because even with the thicker formula it still wipes on and buffs in easy. The only time I would play more with dilutions is if I can’t get the product to stop streaking or the wipe off is terrible, and Rapidwaxx certainly doesn’t have those issues for me.
Yes, if the coating is showing signs of wear then I wouldn’t hesitate to use any of these on top of it. If the coating is still fresh and showing great performance, I might want to keep it bare for a while until I notice a drop in initial performance.
No I haven't gotten my hands on any of the Chemical Guys Hydro line yet. There are definitely some Chemical Guys products that I really enjoy and I want to post some videos up of them, I actually just picked up VRP for the first time recently and dressed the engine bay of my BMW E28 daily, this stuff looks fantastic. Put it on the tires as well and it covered incredibly, perfect amount of shine for me. As far as soaps go, I'm a sucker for the foaming soaps in the foam cannon, I do know that some of the sio2 based soaps are not crazy foamers and some of them you have to be careful with them in direct sunlight due to some streaking that can pop up. Ethos Foam Party has been great, Meguiar's Hyper-Wash, Turtle Wax ICE Snow Foam, great foamers.
Better than tac system shinee wax??! 😬 Are u looking forward to the zymol graphene spray? I find sonax extreme protect and shine npt more hydrophobic than polish angel.. I find Sonax not nice to use though
I think Sonax NPT is pretty similar to Polymer Net Shield? I haven't worked with NPT before but Polymer Net Shield is an absolute beast to apply and remove from the paint, definitely a workout. I still don't have Tac System Shinee Wax since they've been in lockdown over Covid, Carzilla has it but I don't want to pay for the shipping from Canada. I'm very interested to see how Zymol's Atomic Graphene Shield performs, hoping one of the other channels can scoop that up so I can get a view of how it does.
@@WaxMode i think PNS is the pro version, awful stuff to remove but very effective.just bought Shinee wax, looking forward to using it, it recently won a test on forensic detailing
@@WaxMode i just got some rapidwaxx too... Yep this stuff is amazing!! I have most products on the market now and this is probably the only one that i think made a big difference in gloss/finish. My car is corrected and black, rapidwaxx took it to the next level. It really is worth the extra money, faultless product
Good job my friend ! 👍 👍 👍. I love the sprayer of these angel wax bottles, I have the same ones on ipa facom power 6 cleanser bottles, robust and a good spray !. The white nozzle that you use on high pressure, is it a 40 ° ?. I also bought the carpro dhydrate drying microfiber. I wash it with chemical guys microfiber wash and at 30 ° C (86 ° F), and on the first wash, the twisted fibers come undone a bit? (only a few), is this normal, you too? Otherwise it is superb, in 70x100cm (28x40 ") it has a fairly substantial weight to remove the water just by pulling it towards you on the paint !, one of the best that I have tried! It leaves behind a completely paint dry 😲. But I'm afraid it won't absorb as much if the twisted come undone !? Thanks in advance for your help and experience!
Thanks Nico! I actually haven't had any issues with the DHydrate towel's fibers coming undone, I have the smaller version and it's held up great. But absolutely, these twisted loop fibers really soak up the water, especially when they're nice and fresh. I usually add a small amount of distilled vinegar in the rinse phase of the wash to try and keep them nice and absorbent. Gyeon Silk Dryer towel and Griot's PFM drying towels are also twisted loop and comparable to the DHydrate towel, but the Griot's is doubled sided. I think these sprayers work great as well, especially with that slightly thicker formula of the Polish Angel sprays. I bought extras years ago of this style sprayer years ago at USPlastic to use on some of my various extra bottles and they've held up great.
@@WaxMode thank you Kyle. Yes I also add white vinegar in the softener compartment of the washing machine instead of the softener !, it's true it works very well, the microfibers remain absorbent and very flexible! Just next time I'll try a slower spin, maybe it's the 1000 rpm setting that we undo a few twisted ?!. There you go, thank you again 👍 and above all a big thank you for always responding to my comments! 👌✌️
It's actually held up well over the years that I've had it now! I still wish Gilmour would come out with a really nice quality high flow option with this type of flood setting.
Polish Angel products are great for optics but in my experience I’d rather use a product like BSD for durability. Best way to use PA products would be to open the bottle, pour just a little on a MF towel and spread on the panel. Their marketing strategy is a good for attracting consumers by using optics. The clumps in the bottle, the DHL delivered packages that seem as if it flew in from Europe overnight and their delicate looking bottles with delicate labels. This give the consumer the feeling of paying the higher price is worth it. Don’t get me wrong, their products are really good but fall a little short of being really great.
I've come here for the rinsedown action! I've never been interested in Polish Angel products because of the steep price without really offering anything groundbreaking (in MY opinion), but man, look at those BEADS!! I'm a sucker for trying out products that produce surface tension at that level, even though I already have enough products that do the same thing. There's just something addicting about it. It's hard to tell with accuracy from the camera, but am I right in saying that rapidwaxx is more hydrophobic than Fusso/CQUK 3.0? It seems like it from that clip, I might just have to try it out since you say it ALSO feels slick. There's so many things I wanna try out now, that new graphene coating from ethos seems very nice, but again, is pretty pricey. I checked out their website and one thing that puts me off is their marketing style. One of their products literally says that it's used by NASA in the space shuttle. Come on. Adams has a new graphene coating which looks very similar but cheaper. By the way, I've used the Kamikaze Overcoat V3.0 a few times now, and while the hydrophobics when topping a coating are definitely on point, I'm just not in love with it. Works really well as a drying aid, but when applied to a dry surface it's pretty uninspiring. I like reload better in that case and it feels noticeably slicker than the Overcoat. Ok winded post over.
Hey Andres! I think both a fresh Fusso Coat and CQUK 3.0 would slightly outperform Polish Angel in hydrophobics in the short term, but it's super close. I should have a video of the Ethos Graphene coating in the future, I'll definitely get that set up on the test car when I get it in and remove the CQUK. I appreciate the feedback on the latest Overcoat! I do want to eventually get into some of the Kamikaze line of coatings in the future, and I absolutely want one of Kai's backing plates for the Rupes to play around with. Just need that winning lottery ticket to hit!
Hii, I want to use meguiar gold class wax or meguiar mirror glaze professional 26 hi-tech yellow wax which is better.... ? And can I applied with hand.......?
Hey D C, so I don't have as much experience with the Gold Class liquid version, I've worked with mainly the paste version. And for the M26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax, I've only worked with the liquid version. Gold Class Paste is going to be more of a heavier, polishing style wax. Whereas M26 is a lighter pure wax. So if you have some contamination or aren't working with a polisher, the Gold Class Paste wax using this by hand and going over the sections a bit more, this can be more beneficial to possibly hide or cover up some more of those defects compared to what M26 could do. And if the paint is in great shape, the M26 is going to be a great option to bring out some awesome gloss. Neither one of those will be the most durable waxes, I'd reapply every 1-2 months.
Cheers G17! The good thing is there are a ton of other products on the market at much cheaper pricepoints that will easily get the job done. Polish Angel is a treat to use, not a necessity. But when I really think about narrowing down my favorites that isn't based on value, Polish Angel absolutely reaches the top of that list in the spray category. I wish they were less expensive so that more people could enjoy using them.
WaxMode I get what you’re saying and I’m all about treating yourself, but to get so little, for so much, I just won’t do it . I just feel they are taking advantage of people . But in the same token , no one is forcing me to purchase their products . The one wax I splurged on, was Fusion , a few yrs ago, it was $200, but came with a refill and you received quite a lot of product for the money. I still have the 2nd can till this day. Thanks for the videos , I really enjoy the content and effort you put forth . Take care.
Hi WaxMode, Thanks for the review. I use Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint Sealant and Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax on my black car. I want to keep my car shiny and deep after every wash. I am satisfied with the two pinnacle product. But the weather is hot and wet in my country. It is too tired to apply wax every time. I am looking for some high quality spray product. I’m interested in Polish Angel Rapidwaxx after I saw your video. Could I use Polish Angel Rapidwaxx over Souveran Paste Wax? Do you recommend to do that? Thanks
Absolutely, Rapidwaxx should go great on top and should be much easier to work into the paint compared to applying Souveran Paste. Definitely give it a shot and let me know what you think of it!
@@WaxMode I applied Polish Angel Papidwaxx and it had be tested with two afternoon thunderstorms. As you mentioned, Polish Angel has extreme hydrophobics and simple application. It leaves less water spot and attracts less dust than Pinnacle Wax. I had used some high SiO2 content spray products. They will leave streaks by over application but Polish Angel doesn't have this problem. It is surprising that Polish Angel has similar depth and more gloss than Pinnacle Wax. But I didn't feel slick when I finished. I can feel some slick after 12 hours past. Maybe it needs curing time or I applied it over wax? I love Polish Angel Papidwaxx and It is very is most suitable for my country. I will use it for a long time unless you recommend other product is good than Polish Angel Papidwaxx. Thanks for the video!
@@myerschen853 That's awesome, I appreciate the feedback! I love how heavy the Rapidwaxx feels and yet how easily it seems to level down when you're wiping it into the paint. Completely different than something like CarPro Reload or especially some of the new products on the market like Turtle Wax's new Graphene Flex Wax that can be streak monsters. You're right on the slickness, it doesn't have the best but not the worst either, much better than Sonax BSD but it won't come close to something like Bead Maker or Ethos Resist. I'm willing to trade off some slickness for that awesome hydrophobic water beading. Thanks again for keeping me up to date with your experience, Rapidwaxx isn't going to last like a coating would so make sure you keep it topped up regularly, but it's so fun to use that I don't think durability will become an issue.
Cosmic Spritz is supposed to have the more durable longevity, but in the short term they share similar properties and are quite similar to work with. Maybe in the future I will put these up next to each other on the test car for a long term durability test.
Bead Maker can be a great product, but by itself it just doesn't have the hydrophobic footprint that is anywhere near the level that Polish Angel offers. On some waxes and sealants that are very hydrophobic, Bead Maker can reduce their hydrophobic performance when applying them on top. I've had great results using Bead Maker on top of the stronger coatings with them not being hindered by its less hydrophobic potential, they're able to really boost Bead Maker up. But Polish Angel across the board on top of waxes, sealants, and coatings is going to be able to maintain or boost their hydrophobic performance. So for that reason, it's just a much more balanced product and I am willing to sacrifice some top end slickness in favor of that more balanced all around performance that Polish Angel provides. Also, Bead Maker is definitely much different than Polish Angel as far as wipeability goes and product consistency, Bead Maker is much closer to your typical spray detailer or spray wax, whereas Polish Angel is much thicker, less product spreads a little further, and you don't want to dump anywhere near as much Polish Angel on the paint compared to how much guys are using for Bead Maker. I like both but I prefer Polish Angel.
It's just a personal preference. For me slickness is usually the first thing to really leave the paint because we have hard water and that really saps the slickness out during the wash process, unless I'm using a rinseless wash. And so the slickness I really only get to enjoy during usage, whereas the hydrophobic potential holds up beyond the single use. Also even though the paint feels marginally slicker, this doesn't mean that dirt/dust/contamination has a tougher time sticking to the paint. I've got a testament from a lot of Bead Maker users that have had specific issues with this actually attracting more dust/pollen compared to others, although I haven't noticed this out of Bead Maker myself. And once you get addicted to the crazy hydrophobic range that some products can offer, it's difficult to leave that behind. On the coatings, nothing is better than to get done rinsing the soap off, and then just pulling the blower out and 100% dry the paint without touching it with the drying towel.
Pressure washer gun is the MTM Hydro SGS28, great gun and setup, I purchased it from ObsessedGarage along with some other fittings for this little Ryobi pressure washer I'm using.
Ah man I'm stoked, the first formula of Adam's Ceramic Spray Coating was actually a very good performer, it really latched onto the paint and held up to that 1 year mark. But its extreme hydrophobic performance does die down a little bit after the first few months, so I'm interested in seeing how the Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating holds up. I probably won't be able to pick them up anytime soon though, eventually in the future I want to do so, but I'm still in budget mode right now, just going through some of the stuff that I've stocked up a while ago.
If Polish Angel had a durability rating of 24 months then it would only be equal to what $45 would buy of TW spray sealant. But we know that Polish Angel is lucky to last 3 to 6 months. Sure it's beautiful but so are most of the Si02 sprays. But to pay 400% more, is rediculously over priced for most people.
Turtle Wax doesn't offer the same topping capabilities as Polish Angel does. I'm not going to use Seal N Shine or Ceramic Spray Coating on any of the stronger more hydrophobic base layer coatings themselves, whereas the Polish Angel sprays provide that utility of being universal toppers, and they excel on those crazy hydrophobic coatings by not reducing their hydrophobic performance in the short term, which is something I've noticed occur when topping the stronger coatings with Turtle Wax. The wipeability of Polish Angel also greatly exceeds what the two Turtle Wax sprays are capable of achieving without the damp microfiber assist, making PA a much more enjoyable and satisfying product to work with on a regular basis. This is one of those situations where durability and price doesn't trump the utility and ease of use and hydrophobic potential of the product, especially for guys like me that are working outside of a tight budget and have stronger preferences for different features beyond pure durability or chemical resistance. Even though you're absolutely on price and the value that you get with Turtle Wax, it's a fantastic performance to value proposition. But there's just no way I would reach for their spray protectants on a regular basis given that I have Polish Angel on the shelf to compete against them.
@@WaxMode WaxMode; I thought it would be appropriate to transcribe some of your comments from your previous video on Aug 7 about Polish Angel High Gloss and compare them with other RUclips channels out there. Here are a few comments from your narrative on High Gloss and I quote: “You’re paying an astronomical amount.” “Awesome hydrophobics, it’s not the craziest I’ve seen but I’m absolutely addicted to these water beads.” “The hydrophobicity wears off fairly quickly.” “It’s my favorite spray sealant”, “Geared for the enthusiasts and price aside I NEVER want to spend $70 for 200 ml.” “Boutique product but they are some of my favorite spray sealants.” “You can basically dry the paint with water.” “3-6-month durability, competitive with many of the other spray sealants that are out there.” “95.8 gloss is pretty typical.” These are WaxMode quotes on your Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions - 1.5-month durability update. “But you can see with the rinse hereafter rinsing it with CarPro reset, we still have awesome performance out of the Ceramic Spray Coating, again it’s not going to be a hydrophobic monster, so don’t be expecting that, if you are not maintaining it with any sorts of toppers. We have a nice water sheeting rate, we can easily determine the longevity and durability of the product with just the way the water is sheeting like this.” [Kyle’s comment: I use the Ceramic Wet Wax as a topper, and it shows fantastic beading that is equal to what you show Polish Angel delivers. Just watch the APEX video of Nov 22, 2019, to see a great example of the beading properties of TW Wet Wax. Starts at 11:28 to 11:40. As they say, seeing is believing.] “What’s the difference between the consumer's ceramics products compared to baby coating like CQuartz Lite and then a full-blown coating like the Blackfire Ceramic Coating, but there’s also that significant gap in terms of how easy each of these products are to work with. You’ve got the Hybrid Solutions Line, these are super easy to work with, anyone can pick these up without much experience and be able to get good results with them and great durability as well. Especially if you are maintaining them on a regular basis, something like the Ceramic Wet Wax in the Hybrid Solutions line which is an excellent drying aid. A huge shout out to Turtle Wax for sending me their Hybrid Solutions line for testing. I appreciate their willingness to try out their products. Let me know what you think.” One of the TOP 5 detailing channels quotes are shown below when evaluating Turtle Wax Wet Wax, which is a topper; “The Turtle Wax Ceramic Team of products is remarkable.” “They’re perfect and they work incredibly well.” “And the gloss is quite impressive, 94 gloss units.” “…that is just like any other Quality Si02 in beading.” “I highly recommend it [The Wet Wax].” “The human eye cannot even recognize a gloss change under 10 gloss units.” “The gloss test of Wet Wax raised the G.U.s by 10 points from 81.2 to 91.2.” “So far we have WaxMode: Turtle Wax doesn't offer the same topping capabilities as Polish Angel does.

[Kyle’s comment, I use TW on the 10yr warrantied strongest ceramic product out there that PAN recommended. My PRO installer recommended using the TW Wet Wax as the topper during maintenance washes and the TW Spray Sealant during my annual decon on the Opti Coat Pro Plus he put on. I have had phenomenal results using his advice. That was last November when I asked him about using Polish Angel because I like the advice from Esoteric, but he said if I needed the bragging rights of using a high-end product, then go for it, but it isn’t going to give me any more than TW, if it did I would sell it to you. He showed me two clients cars who only want Polish Angel because they want the bragging rights a very expensive Boutique product would give them. He had it in his showcases. I understand how people need to show off with using certain brands, I did it for decades.] WaxMode: The wipeability of Polish Angel also greatly exceeds what the two Turtle Wax sprays are capable of achieving without the damp microfiber assist, making PA a much more enjoyable and satisfying product to work with on a regular basis. [Kyle’s comments: That might be true in some high heat, high humidity parts of the country, but not here in the southwest. APEX, Wilson, Pan, and numerous others mention how easy it is to just use and if it streaks, then use a damp MF just as TW’s directions explain and the issue will be a non-issue. So, while I appreciate your comments about Angel Wax being easy to apply, I can also look at your comments about how ridiculously expensive it is and how easy TW is to apply in your other videos. I was a Griots man up until Nov of last year, when I changed to TW and I’m very impressed.] This is one of those situations where durability and price doesn't trump the utility and ease of use and hydrophobic potential of the product, especially for guys like me that are working outside of a tight budget and have stronger preferences for different features beyond pure durability or chemical resistance.

I've had these Polish Angel sprays since 2018 and all three of these have held up perfectly in the bottle. I haven't noticed any changes or differences in performance compared to what I was seeing when I first used the bottles when they were fresh years ago. I keep the majority of my products inside the house though, it's like 90°F inside the garage overnight in the summer so I think keeping them inside where it's cool helps them stay fresh.
Reload has a much higher tendency to want to streak and go on uneven compared to Polish Angel. Polish Angel melts into the paintwork on the final wipe, I would trust it on black much more compared to Reload. Both have great immediate hydrophobics, but I’ve seen both Reload and Rapidwaxx die out early after a few weeks with some uses.
Hydro2 can definitely be a fun product to work with! If you’re not seeing streaks with Hydro2, then I would think Reload wouldn’t give you much trouble. Hydro2 for me is much quicker, but I use it up way too fast. Reload I like to use it dry, work slower, make sure I’m getting a good wipe down.
@@WaxMode Agreed Hydro2 is quite easy to use. Yeah, I don’t get any streaks whatsoever yet I hear folks that do with Hydro2. I’m very methodical though when I pressure wash. I don’t just spray randomly. I spray as if Im layering a coating down lol. Is Cosmic Spritz as good as the price makes it out to be?
I would say it’s not worth the price. As a stand-alone it won’t hold up like a coating, as a topper there are cheaper products that can fulfill the role on top of your coatings that can maintain their best water performance. But when you remove price from the equation, the satisfaction in using Cosmic Spritz or High Gloss makes them one of the best spray products on the market.
Another great vid. I think you've made up my mind about Polish Angel, but which one though? I initially was looking toward Cosmic Primer and Cosmic Spritz or High Gloss, but checking out the price of Rapidwaxx I'm slightly leaning that way. I don't mind applying protection on a fairly regular basis, not every wash, but once or twice a month I enjoy. I have a black car so I'm after as much gloss as I can get and was hoping this might do the trick. I'm trying to improve on this ruclips.net/video/Kq6G62aT-kc/видео.html So although I've now narrowed a brand down, I'm now trying to decide between Primer and Spritz, High Gloss or Rapidwaxx.
Black Light and Jet Seal visually look fantastic, I still quite like Black Light especially, and CG’s Glossworkz glaze. As far as Polish Angel goes, I think it’s worth checking out Rapidwaxx’s 200ml size first. There are some out there that can find differences between High Gloss, Cosmic Spritz, and Rapidwaxx, but for me they are very similar in terms of feel and effect. They all have that unique feel that Polish Angel has perfected as a spray, so spending less with Rapidwaxx to get your feet wet is worth it. From there you can experiment by jumping up to Cosmic Spritz or High Gloss, although the benefit those may offer may be only marginal at best above Rapidwaxx. As far as looks, I’m not sure if these can quite top what Black Light and Jet Seal can deliver, High Gloss has become a favorite of many in terms of looks but I could not notice any difference on the colors that I had been testing them on the most. What Polish Angel really offers is the most satisfying spray protection or spray wax experience that no one else has mastered quite as well, and they offer top notch coating compatibility. Outright paint protection will always be the best with actual paint coatings, but I have my fun with the maintenance, and the Polish Angel trio have all done really well on top of the base layer coatings.
@@WaxMode hhi and thanks for the detailed reply. I'm using jet seal and blacklist at the moment. As you say, rapidwaxx is possibly a good vet to try. Thanks again. Cheers 🍻
I've never actually used Meguiar's D156, I've always used Ultimate Quik Wax and was so infatuated with how UQW smelled that I never had the desire to grab the gallon of D156. Fantastic topper though, Meguiar's really nailed it with the UQW/D156 formula.
@@WaxMode how do you compare UQW to RapidWaxx? I use UQW as a drying aid every wash, so longevity isn’t a concern. Looking for feedback on beading, ease of application, ability to fill light marring.
I will pay the price premium, because I'm out of my mind and right now there's nothing else that I've used that is as satisfying to use in the spray category that provides this balanced of a performance as far as hydrophobics and ease of use goes. I will not be without one of these sprays in my arsenal at any one time, they're that good to me.
With Polish Angel it's not just about the destination/results but also about the journey/user experience. The stuff is just ridiculously entertaining to use and if that has a higher cost, so be it. After all, this is supposed to be fun, no?
Honeslty I dont think anyone understands how little product you can get away with. You can probably get atleast 6-8 applications on a station wagon with a 100ml bottle. I barely use anything to cover my entire Volvo V70. A local detailer who only use Polishangel can get away with less than 5ml of Rapidwaxx on an entire car. Getting this many applications out of a tiny bottle its cheaper than many worse spraywaxes.
Just watched this again, for some context i think your are saying rapidwaxx doesn't have any added scent. Its the chemical makeup like you said. I think your right! I love rapidwaxx!
@@WaxMode I have heard of this Polish Angel from a friend detailer in California and he had this product at home. He told me that this product performs consistently great always but he didn't care about the scent if it performed and concurs with the labels part. He told me they had also this FLAKE product that makes no foaming for washing the car that is a carnauba soap. The water looks milky and even used as waterless wash. He knew about this product in Spain where they use it a lot too. He told me they make their products environmentally safe. They had one called Ultra something or Centurion but forgot if it was a wax for black vehicles or if it was for deep cleaning that acts fast but doesn't damage waxes or sealant. Sorry, forgot the names. If I recall correctly Apex Detail did a video on V2 and my friend told me it is ok to use V2 alone but if you use the primer 9H prior to V2, it will last longer and cure time is 12 hours. The shine and durability is .something you never believe. I don't have it but that is one of the products most used in Spain and Argentina. I use super clean because it is readily accessible and available in Advanced Auto but Bilt Hamber Surfex HD is best thing. Same happens with Bilt Hamber Auto Wash or WaxPlanet Eight Below or Ultimate but readily accessible and available is Chemical Guys Honeydew except it is not as a good cleaner as the previous two. Xoxo from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
Polish Angel is the best of all the things you want. That’s what you’re paying for. There are plenty of other products that “for the money” come close. But honestly there are more expensive as well. Their products are simply the best for the enthusiast. Not the weekend warrior “detailer”. This or cosmic spritz as a maintenance over power lock Every 3 months has power lock lasting a year outside daily driving before stripping, 3800 polishing and re applying. Still using Chemical guys glossworks for maintenance washing. The only product they have left worth buying. This has been my go to system for a while now! Love your channel.
People who are commenting saying this stuff isn't worth the price tag have clearly never seen these products perform with their own eyes. A video will not do these product's justice as you have to see the gloss and hydrophobics for yourself to fully appreciate it. Polish Angel is not meant for somebody who is looking to spend the least amount of money protecting their vehicle. Directly comparing this product to anything from Turtle Wax is absolutely a joke. Aside from that.... fantastic video as always man.
Agreed.... until I had it in my hand and put it in paint I didn't realize the quality Polish Angel is.. absolutely phenomenal 👌🏼
Thanks Jordan! I can say for a fact that I don't want to spend what Polish Angel is requesting, but I WILL spend that amount when I run out in the future. They're too satisfying of a spray protectant to work with to not have one of these on the shelf at any given time.
And you're right, I can't capture the entire experience on camera of what these are like to work with, it's just different than anything else that I've used. And perhaps that uniqueness commands a premium when you combine that with the amazing hydrophobics and great wipeability of their formulas. I need to get my hands on some of the other products in the lineup, these three are the only ones that I've used so far and I'm not disappointed.
Ohhh man! Here's comes the open wallet again! High gloss here we go. 😆 Great vid brother
@@404notfound..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@WaxMode I totally understand not wanting to pay the premium but for people to bash products they haven't tried really grinds my gears lol. in my case though I absolutely love everything they have to offer and am willing to pay the premium to have the best of the best in terms of user experience and hydrophobics. durability is underrated as well. People think torture tests are sole indicators to a product's performance long term. Let me know if you want any recommendations on products to try. I highly recommend checking out their windshield coating 👍🏼
While yes, Polish Angel is on the end of the higher priced products in Auto Detailing, I still really enjoy using all of their products. Many people will say "No way, there's nothing worth that!", "That's ridiculous". I will say that Polish Angel is for enthusiast ONLY! If you are not an enthusiast, you probably shouldn't buy their products. For those who enjoy using the BEST detailing products available on the market today, Polish Angel has those type products. EVERYTHING they make is very well thought out, well engineered, and quite simply WORKS! And works INCREDIBLY WELL! I just compounded, polished, and sealed my car using their "Master" series and my car looks stunning. I just did the wheels with Supersports, their liquid wheel sealant, which is another great product that can be used "stand alone" or on top of any wax, sealant, or wheel coating. And I love their "DIVER" glass cleaner which does have a little window sealant in it as well. I sealed my windows using Glassparency and then I use DIVER as the maintenance product. It's the most expensive window cleaner there is, but again, you get what you pay for with it. Very few window products work like DIVER does. More are coming out as of late though. CLARIFY by Car Pro is another fantastic window product but I think DIVER is definitely a notch above anything else. I love everything about Polish Angel and I will continue to use their products just because I enjoy using them. I'm jumping up to their Color infused wax next which is crazy expensive but again, I only use the products on my good car. I do NOT use them on my daily drivers. I use other products for that which work effectively too because I just don't want to spend that kind of money on a daily driver. There is definitely a market out there for Polish Angel. Thanks for doing this video, it's a great one!
Could you do a comparison of Polish Angel products vs the NV Nova line that Sandro from Car Craft Auto Detailing features on his channel? The similarities make them seem like the best all around paint protectants on the market now albeit with their premium price tag.
I think your break down of products is the best! If you recommend it then I’ll definitely give it a shot
I appreciate it Gabe!
Excellent review Waxmode ,definitely will be trying a couple of these in the near future. Price is nothing if it’s what your passionate about and enjoy doing. Everyone has a hobby or interest that they spend money on so to each their own. Like many detailers and enthusiasts it’s what we do and I’m always excited to try and have new products to work with. Enjoyed the video as always and thank you for your insight and knowledge.
Thanks Miller! Would love to hear what you think of them if you try them out, for me a lot of this comes down to the satisfaction derived from working with the products, and I think Polish Angel really excels at that with these sprays.
I bought rapidwaxx the other day. Fantastic wipe off! Absolutely no residual streaking. I noticed it also fills in light swirls very well. Great product. Video answered all my questions 👍👍
Awesome James, let me know how the Rapidwaxx holds up for you!
@@WaxMode I'll keep you updated. 👍
Im predicting about 2 months on my black car.
Another killer video man!!! I saw this pop up and was excited. I can NOT wait to give the GSX a Polish Angel makeover. Surprises me the identical performance in Rapidwaxx vs High gloss. Both fantastic though. I agree, they need to re visit there label making and make them look better for the price they charge. Looking forward to more tests brother!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Smurf! Yeah I can't wait to see that GSX all glossed up! I think the bulk of the chemistry between Rapidwaxx, High Gloss, and Cosmic Spritz is pretty similar when we get down to the fundamentals. The SDS sheets are all listing different mixtures of titanium-dioxide and silicon-dioxide, so in the very short term they do showcase some very comparable hydrophobics and wipeability. Ultimately Cosmic Spritz and High Gloss might edge out Rapidwaxx in longterm durability, but I'm going to be using all of them on a regular basis if I had them on a garage queen which really negates that durability stat.
I need to grab a darker painted daily driver and really try and focus on the jetting and depth and reflectance capabilities of High Gloss, I have seen guys say that High Gloss is the more impressive finish. Yeah dude, definitely looking forward to your video on Polish Angel!
@@WaxMode ahhh ok.. I got you. That close on ingredients will be hard to tell! And man, it's coming soon man I promise! Full day of pampering my baby! 🤣 and I won't be doing ANY durability anything haha. Its gonna get kept up 100% garage queen LOL
I'm a simple man I see Polish Angel video and I like.
I've used a little of their entire line. The absolute gold standard when it comes to easy of application of spray waxes.
I bought the cosmic line, may do it this weekend. My car currently has 2 coats of Master Sealant maintenanced with Presto Detail. Water absolutely just falls off.
Thanks Fuzz! Yeah I definitely want to check out the Presto Detail, it maybe the best topping value for the money from PA. Appreciate the feedback!
Awesome video bro as always!! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much Tony!
Best product I've ever used. Nothing to compare with other products out there. Price,more than normal. A little goes a long way, hence the price. Totally different level. Love Polish Angel.
I want to try the whole line badly, I just don’t want to dish out the cost to do so!
Awesome video! I have RapidWax but haven’t used it yet. Now I am excited to use it and hope to soon. I love your breakdown of products man no one does it better then you.
Thanks so much FAB! Yes, definitely give it a shot and let me know what you think about it, would love to hear your thoughts. Be careful though, you might get bit by that Polish Angel bug and start dishing out these insane prices for more real quick!
WaxMode I have heard they are addictive products! I will do my best. 😂
hey brian....visited with jim last week....shared info about u and the new garage...and hoping u will try the ceramic wash soon stay safe and all your faimly - STAY WELL
john keturoskey Awesome man thanks! I will be trying it very soon.
Great video buddy
I just ordered rapidwaxx after watching this! 👍🏼
Cheers Mark! Yeah definitely let me know if you enjoy working with it.
WaxMode got it today. Will be applying it within the next few days.
WaxMode send me your address. Bruins17@gmail.com. I’ll send you a small sample of Nv(nova) Jet. Very hydrophobic spray!
I can't wait to try their Carnuba Arts line.
I have Cosmic Spritz and High Gloss haven't tried the Rapid wax. I would say the High Gloss on my dark blue Civic is of the chart in reflectivity . I think I will need to top my CSL/EXO coating with some High Gloss. Polish Angel products are handmade in Germany and shipped directly from Germany nothing better . The Cosmic coating is simple to use but not as durable as the CSL/EXO combo coating. You need wait for AutoGeek to have good sale get a gallon of Reset . I have gallon of Iron X also since I use every 6 months to decon my coated cars.You need 3 way shoot out with Cosmic Spritz in there. I like use Cosmic during the winter months as a topper since I found it more durable. Love to see you put in a 3 way battle. You order directly from Polish Angel and ship fast directly from Germany by DHL .
Cheers Doc! Yeah I would definitely reach for Cosmic Spritz or High Gloss on top of CSL/EXO as opposed to C2v3. I might put CSL and EXOv4 on the Honda test car for the next batch of coating durability tests, as well as Gyeon Syncro, and the new Ethos Graphene Matrix coating.
I actually snagged up these three Polish Angel products during the 30% off sale that Autopia was running years ago, kind of disappointed they're not restocking the line but I think they were having some issues with the US distribution chain for Polish Angel. I haven't tried ordering direct from Polish Angel yet.
Great job on this video
Thanks Mike!
Many thanks for your time as always. The nightmare inside these bottles can cause problems with clogging especially when temps drop.Running the bottle under warm water helps.
I’ve been a big fan of high gloss for a while and haven’t found anything that comes close. However, I recently starting playing with the carnauba arts gray graphite, I was so impressed by the appearance I ordered the gold to see what effect it would have. The carnauba arts series has outstanding water sheeting (just like high gloss). At a car meet over the weekend I was asked several times what I used on my car to make it glow. Anyway, there are some of us that use these products as toppers and prefer great shine and glow that last a wash or two compared to long lasting durability. It would be awesome to get your opinion on carnauba arts.
They are superb. I swear the Blue Xilion beads slightly better than Cosmic and High Gloss.
Appreciate the feedback RixLC! Yeah we get to skip out on the cold down here in Florida so I haven't had any issues with these clogging up the sprayers. I've definitely got to save up some before I start snagging up some more products for testing but I absolutely want to grab some of the Carnauba Arts collection. What are you thoughts on Presto Detail, have you been able to try this one out?
WaxMode I have not tried any of their detail sprays. I have used combinations of High Gloss and Carnauba Arts as toppers on Angelwax 5th, Desirable and Enigma. I’ve also used Snowman and Flake for washing. Flake leaves a great shine for contact washes, I liked it so much I bought the 1000ml bottle on my second purchase.
I ordered a bottle of Master Sealant and Rapid Wax today from Esoteric Detailing. Looking forward to seeing the results
Cheers Vincent, let me know how you like them!
First! Thanks as always for the vid!
Deng it!! Beat me to it!!🤣
No problem AJ, glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant demo video! I’m confused which one to get between these 3 from Polish Angel - High Gloss/Cosmic Spritz/Graphene Spritz. My chalk Panamera is fully PPFd and also coated, so I’m looking for a very good topper to keep that insane beading and maintain it.
All the dollars go into the product not the labels! 🤣 I think the high gloss smells great.. great review man!
Thanks c Man! Polish Angel has a unique type of scent where the more I use it the more I tend to gravitate towards liking it! Kind of like CarPro Reload and Gyeon Cure!
“Nightmare inside bottle” funny stuff
Awesome vid. Wouldve loved to see the cosmic in action though!
Thanks James! I did a separate video with High Gloss and Cosmic Spritz about a year ago, check it out at this link here: ruclips.net/video/44yY1zl7VeI/видео.html
@@WaxMode I know I just found it while searching for videos on it lol! Thanks x 100
I still have trouble wrapping my head around why beading is a "thing"? Imo, since I own a Black car with soft paint, my #1 issue is with water spotting, so why isn't there a product line that "sheets" water off the surface? As long as there is a hydrophobic character to the surface why not make a water sheeting product that will not leave water spots when those "beads" dry?
I've run a lot of testing and observations with spotting with a variety of different products with varying degrees of hydrophobic and hydrophilic behaviors. The only surface that is able really avoid spotting are the highly contaminated fully hydrophilic unprotected surfaces. Basically all the neighbors' cars that have never washed or waxed the paint for years.
On clean paint, when I decontaminate it and polish the surface and leave it unprotected, that surface is still going to produce a large amount of individual beading left behind even after a monster rainstorm, it's repelling the water faster than the rainstorm can populate the paint to form the water sheet and flood the surface. You would need a product that leaves a less hydrophobic or more hydrophilic footprint than clean/bare/decontaminated/unprotected clearcoat to avoid spotting. And I haven't seen any product on the market that is able to do this.
Because of the inability for the market to produce overly hydrophilic and durable paint protectants, the spotting issue cannot be 100% avoided, it doesn't matter if the beads left behind on the paint are oblong and larger, or round and tight, spotting occurs when standing water is left behind in individual beads when allowed to dry if the water is not 100% pure.
Less hydrophobic products that sheet water off when flooding with the hose nozzle, this sheeting is only beneficial to me when I'm the one in control of that water nozzle. Left behind in a rainstorm, these products never produce a hydrophilic water sheet and I'm left with exorbitant water beading, so they don't hold a higher utility for me compared to the extremely hydrophobic paint protectants that are super easy to blow dry the water off the paint without using a drying towel.
This was addressed by meguiars in the 90s they had waxes that would sheet more then bead. The consumer wanted beading so meguairs changed their formulation to answer the demand of the consumer.
They do have a select handful of sealants and coatings that sheet more then bead but nothing like we non spotters are looking for.
After using Polishangel Rapidwaxx for about 2 years now on four cars that I've owned/own in that time I have to say, it's my favorite detailing product so far. This stuff absolutely excells in almost every aspect and when you consider its durability and the amount of product actually used per application it isn't that expensive at all. With the contents of one 500 ml bottle a car is perfectly coated for a full two years easily. Probably longer. That's 45$ spread over 24+ months for something that is my hobby, my absolute passion... That's less than two bucks per month and I couldn't disagree more with those who say that's too expensive. But hey, that's just my opinion.
Appreciate the feedback! I still love pulling them out, and after all these years the shelf life appears to be holding up perfectly. I still think they're absolutely hosing us on pricing, especially when you make the jump from Rapidwaxx to High Gloss and Cosmic Spritz. Increasing SiO2 and TiO2 levels should not result in a 200%+ increase in price, and the rest of the base chemistry appears to be identical in function between them.
If the only thing they're changing is those levels of SiO2 and TiO2, then their pricing makes zero sense to me. They could drop the price across the board and utterly dominate the market with volume. Or I'm wrong and the raw materials between them are a major price factor that determines their pricing, but I doubt that's the case. Just like with Zymol and Swissvax back in the day, exclusivity alone is the attributor to high pricing, not performance or raw materials.
Great products you get what you pay for usually. What kind of a pump sprayer is that you have with the neat nozzle? Great video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Kenny! That is the Solo 418 handheld pump sprayer. Had it for a few years now mainly with a waterless wash dilution of Wolfgang Uber Rinseless to use as a pre-soak before rinseless washing. Now I've got the mineral spirits in there to see how the sprayer holds up during regular use on the test panel, I've nuked quite a few sprayer tops with Prep-All.
Which is of these would be best as a topper for cquartz 3.0? Using bead maker right now but would love something a little stronger for the winter here in Michigan. Or maybe you would say just stick with what works.
@WaxMode - video on point as usual. Only comments to add are 1) PA products don't like alkaline cleaners (high pH snow foams etc), 2) I'm surprised you think they are unscented, there is definitely a distinctive PA smell which is as mesmerising as the ease of use...Spritz, High Gloss, Blue Xilion, Supersport PTFE all smell similar. Those mineral spirits must be getting to you :P
Yeah it definitely does have a smell, I think what I was trying to say was it doesn't have a specific scented fragrance, and I've always been a big sucker for the good smelling products. But it's funny, this stuff performs so good that I actually don't mind the smell that they have, you're right it just smells like Polish Angel and it's not unpleasant. But if they could figure out how to make this smell like Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax, it would be game over for me, I'd have to shut the channel down because the quest would be over!
Thanks for this review! I just found your channel, you've got some very helpful videos!
I've just waxed my "Deep Black Perleffect" GTI with Collinite 915 and am now looking for a good quality product to apply after washing the car, just to refresh the wax, enhance the gloss and beading. Which one of the three PolishAngel products you featured in this video would you recommend for that? I am specifically considering Rapidwaxx and High Gloss - do you know, which one of those might be best suited for my use case?
Greets from germany and keep it up!
Hey Justus! Polish Angel is based in Germany which is awesome for you, shipping should be really quick. I would try out Rapidwaxx first because of the price to see if you like that style of product, and it should go really well on top of the 915 on your metallic black GTI.
High Gloss gets a ton of high remarks for gloss, but I still think it's worth to spend less on the Rapidwaxx on maybe the smaller size, and then experiment afterwards with High Gloss if you decide that you really enjoy these types of Polish Angel sprays. I have never been disappointed in the finish left behind from Rapidwaxx and I think the durability and quality of the hydrophobic behavior between the products are pretty similar. Cheers!
@@WaxMode Alright, cool, thank you! I'll then try the Rapidwaxx. Also very helpful to know that you found no big difference in beading and durability between those two products! Thanks ;)
I would love to see a comparison between Bead Maker and High Gloss. Always worried I’m overspending on High Gloss
Will topping off Rapidwaxx with High Gloss increase the overall gloss or would it be a waste of product?
Thanks for the review. Would you suggest Rapidwax. As a topper for Cquartz lite. How does the gloss compare to Elixir and reload on top of Cquartz lite. Thx for your time !
I'm loving Rapidwaxx on top of the other coatings, I haven't used it yet on top of CQuartz Lite but it's been absolutely fantastic for CQuartz Tio2, CQUK 3.0, and Blackfire Pro. I actually prefer Rapidwaxx compared to Elixir and Reload, the gloss between them is pretty similar but I feel Rapidwaxx goes on easier and is more satisfying to work with.
Heard alot about Polish Angel, supposedly is amazing. Have you tried Ethos D3FY? More reasonably priced and amazing results ,plus made in USA. Thanks for a very informative video
Thanks Meek! Ethos Defy I've been enjoying this as a drying aid, smells amazing, and when I use it wet it wipes really clean without streaking. Not going to be the hydrophobic monster, I definitely prefer something like Rapidwaxx as a drying aid and overall product, but Defy is nice and slick and fun to play around with. I've got Defy and Ceramic Refresh on top of the Ceramic Wax Pro on the test car and they're working great.
Enjoy your vids. I think your silver hood is a difficult color to determine differences in gloss/finish on. Just thinking out loud.
How long does it last if applied alone? is this the case in this video?
Do you think rapid waxxx would work on top of power lock? Or do you think rapid waxxx would be better as the base protectant?
I would go with Power Lock as the base and then Rapidwaxx on top for maintenance. I think Power Lock is just an all around fantastic base protectant to work with.
Great review and it's the reason why I bought a 200ml of rapidwaxx yesterday. Would it be good idea to add 100ml of distilled water to help with spraying and make the product less gunky?
Thanks! I haven’t tested any dilutions because even with the thicker formula it still wipes on and buffs in easy. The only time I would play more with dilutions is if I can’t get the product to stop streaking or the wipe off is terrible, and Rapidwaxx certainly doesn’t have those issues for me.
@@WaxMode Thanks!
Just wanted to update - since trying rapidwaxx it's now my go to drying aid and quick detailer. Better than many products I've used before.
Great video
Thank you
Can you apply over ceramic coating
Yes, if the coating is showing signs of wear then I wouldn’t hesitate to use any of these on top of it. If the coating is still fresh and showing great performance, I might want to keep it bare for a while until I notice a drop in initial performance.
Off topic but have you tried chemical guys hydro suds (SiO2 car shampoo)? Wanted to know if you’ve had success with it
No I haven't gotten my hands on any of the Chemical Guys Hydro line yet. There are definitely some Chemical Guys products that I really enjoy and I want to post some videos up of them, I actually just picked up VRP for the first time recently and dressed the engine bay of my BMW E28 daily, this stuff looks fantastic. Put it on the tires as well and it covered incredibly, perfect amount of shine for me.
As far as soaps go, I'm a sucker for the foaming soaps in the foam cannon, I do know that some of the sio2 based soaps are not crazy foamers and some of them you have to be careful with them in direct sunlight due to some streaking that can pop up. Ethos Foam Party has been great, Meguiar's Hyper-Wash, Turtle Wax ICE Snow Foam, great foamers.
Better than tac system shinee wax??! 😬
Are u looking forward to the zymol graphene spray?
I find sonax extreme protect and shine npt more hydrophobic than polish angel.. I find Sonax not nice to use though
I think Sonax NPT is pretty similar to Polymer Net Shield? I haven't worked with NPT before but Polymer Net Shield is an absolute beast to apply and remove from the paint, definitely a workout. I still don't have Tac System Shinee Wax since they've been in lockdown over Covid, Carzilla has it but I don't want to pay for the shipping from Canada. I'm very interested to see how Zymol's Atomic Graphene Shield performs, hoping one of the other channels can scoop that up so I can get a view of how it does.
@@WaxMode i think PNS is the pro version, awful stuff to remove but very effective.just bought Shinee wax, looking forward to using it, it recently won a test on forensic detailing
@@WaxMode i just got some rapidwaxx too... Yep this stuff is amazing!! I have most products on the market now and this is probably the only one that i think made a big difference in gloss/finish. My car is corrected and black, rapidwaxx took it to the next level. It really is worth the extra money, faultless product
Good job my friend ! 👍 👍 👍. I love the sprayer of these angel wax bottles, I have the same ones on ipa facom power 6 cleanser bottles, robust and a good spray !. The white nozzle that you use on high pressure, is it a 40 ° ?.
I also bought the carpro dhydrate drying microfiber. I wash it with chemical guys microfiber wash and at 30 ° C (86 ° F), and on the first wash, the twisted fibers come undone a bit? (only a few), is this normal, you too?
Otherwise it is superb, in 70x100cm (28x40 ") it has a fairly substantial weight to remove the water just by pulling it towards you on the paint !, one of the best that I have tried! It leaves behind a completely paint dry 😲. But I'm afraid it won't absorb as much if the twisted come undone !?
Thanks in advance for your help and experience!
Thanks Nico! I actually haven't had any issues with the DHydrate towel's fibers coming undone, I have the smaller version and it's held up great. But absolutely, these twisted loop fibers really soak up the water, especially when they're nice and fresh. I usually add a small amount of distilled vinegar in the rinse phase of the wash to try and keep them nice and absorbent. Gyeon Silk Dryer towel and Griot's PFM drying towels are also twisted loop and comparable to the DHydrate towel, but the Griot's is doubled sided.
I think these sprayers work great as well, especially with that slightly thicker formula of the Polish Angel sprays. I bought extras years ago of this style sprayer years ago at USPlastic to use on some of my various extra bottles and they've held up great.
@@WaxMode thank you Kyle. Yes I also add white vinegar in the softener compartment of the washing machine instead of the softener !, it's true it works very well, the microfibers remain absorbent and very flexible! Just next time I'll try a slower spin, maybe it's the 1000 rpm setting that we undo a few twisted ?!. There you go, thank you again 👍 and above all a big thank you for always responding to my comments! 👌✌️
The Gilmour is the bomb.
It's actually held up well over the years that I've had it now! I still wish Gilmour would come out with a really nice quality high flow option with this type of flood setting.
WaxMode yes, that flood setting is pure ASMR
Polish Angel products are great for optics but in my experience I’d rather use a product like BSD for durability. Best way to use PA products would be to open the bottle, pour just a little on a MF towel and spread on the panel. Their marketing strategy is a good for attracting consumers by using optics. The clumps in the bottle, the DHL delivered packages that seem as if it flew in from Europe overnight and their delicate looking bottles with delicate labels. This give the consumer the feeling of paying the higher price is worth it. Don’t get me wrong, their products are really good but fall a little short of being really great.
I've come here for the rinsedown action!
I've never been interested in Polish Angel products because of the steep price without really offering anything groundbreaking (in MY opinion), but man, look at those BEADS!! I'm a sucker for trying out products that produce surface tension at that level, even though I already have enough products that do the same thing. There's just something addicting about it. It's hard to tell with accuracy from the camera, but am I right in saying that rapidwaxx is more hydrophobic than Fusso/CQUK 3.0? It seems like it from that clip, I might just have to try it out since you say it ALSO feels slick. There's so many things I wanna try out now, that new graphene coating from ethos seems very nice, but again, is pretty pricey. I checked out their website and one thing that puts me off is their marketing style. One of their products literally says that it's used by NASA in the space shuttle. Come on. Adams has a new graphene coating which looks very similar but cheaper.
By the way, I've used the Kamikaze Overcoat V3.0 a few times now, and while the hydrophobics when topping a coating are definitely on point, I'm just not in love with it. Works really well as a drying aid, but when applied to a dry surface it's pretty uninspiring. I like reload better in that case and it feels noticeably slicker than the Overcoat. Ok winded post over.
Hey Andres! I think both a fresh Fusso Coat and CQUK 3.0 would slightly outperform Polish Angel in hydrophobics in the short term, but it's super close. I should have a video of the Ethos Graphene coating in the future, I'll definitely get that set up on the test car when I get it in and remove the CQUK.
I appreciate the feedback on the latest Overcoat! I do want to eventually get into some of the Kamikaze line of coatings in the future, and I absolutely want one of Kai's backing plates for the Rupes to play around with. Just need that winning lottery ticket to hit!
@@WaxMode Looking forward to it!
Hii, I want to use meguiar gold class wax or meguiar mirror glaze professional 26 hi-tech yellow wax which is better.... ?
And can I applied with hand.......?
Hey D C, so I don't have as much experience with the Gold Class liquid version, I've worked with mainly the paste version. And for the M26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax, I've only worked with the liquid version. Gold Class Paste is going to be more of a heavier, polishing style wax. Whereas M26 is a lighter pure wax.
So if you have some contamination or aren't working with a polisher, the Gold Class Paste wax using this by hand and going over the sections a bit more, this can be more beneficial to possibly hide or cover up some more of those defects compared to what M26 could do. And if the paint is in great shape, the M26 is going to be a great option to bring out some awesome gloss.
Neither one of those will be the most durable waxes, I'd reapply every 1-2 months.
Thanks for the review . I refuse to pay those prices , when you have so many other choices, at a fraction of the cost. I will not let them rip me off.
Cheers G17! The good thing is there are a ton of other products on the market at much cheaper pricepoints that will easily get the job done. Polish Angel is a treat to use, not a necessity. But when I really think about narrowing down my favorites that isn't based on value, Polish Angel absolutely reaches the top of that list in the spray category. I wish they were less expensive so that more people could enjoy using them.
WaxMode I get what you’re saying and I’m all about treating yourself, but to get so little, for so much, I just won’t do it . I just feel they are taking advantage of people . But in the same token , no one is forcing me to purchase their products . The one wax I splurged on, was Fusion , a few yrs ago, it was $200, but came with a refill and you received quite a lot of product for the money. I still have the 2nd can till this day.
Thanks for the videos , I really enjoy the content and effort you put forth . Take care.
Hi WaxMode,
Thanks for the review. I use Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint Sealant and Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax on my black car. I want to keep my car shiny and deep after every wash. I am satisfied with the two pinnacle product.
But the weather is hot and wet in my country. It is too tired to apply wax every time. I am looking for some high quality spray product. I’m interested in Polish Angel Rapidwaxx after I saw your video. Could I use Polish Angel Rapidwaxx over Souveran Paste Wax? Do you recommend to do that?
Thanks
Absolutely, Rapidwaxx should go great on top and should be much easier to work into the paint compared to applying Souveran Paste. Definitely give it a shot and let me know what you think of it!
@@WaxMode
I applied Polish Angel Papidwaxx and it had be tested with two afternoon thunderstorms. As you mentioned, Polish Angel has extreme hydrophobics and simple application. It leaves less water spot and attracts less dust than Pinnacle Wax. I had used some high SiO2 content spray products. They will leave streaks by over application but Polish Angel doesn't have this problem. It is surprising that Polish Angel has similar depth and more gloss than Pinnacle Wax. But I didn't feel slick when I finished. I can feel some slick after 12 hours past. Maybe it needs curing time or I applied it over wax? I love Polish Angel Papidwaxx and It is very is most suitable for my country. I will use it for a long time unless you recommend other product is good than Polish Angel Papidwaxx. Thanks for the video!
@@myerschen853 That's awesome, I appreciate the feedback! I love how heavy the Rapidwaxx feels and yet how easily it seems to level down when you're wiping it into the paint. Completely different than something like CarPro Reload or especially some of the new products on the market like Turtle Wax's new Graphene Flex Wax that can be streak monsters.
You're right on the slickness, it doesn't have the best but not the worst either, much better than Sonax BSD but it won't come close to something like Bead Maker or Ethos Resist. I'm willing to trade off some slickness for that awesome hydrophobic water beading.
Thanks again for keeping me up to date with your experience, Rapidwaxx isn't going to last like a coating would so make sure you keep it topped up regularly, but it's so fun to use that I don't think durability will become an issue.
Have you tried BSD topped with sonax quick wax?
For a slicker feel
45 bucks? There’s one born every minute
I have cosmetic spritz cmg tomorrow will I be disappointed cause I should have got the rappidwax
Cosmic Spritz is supposed to have the more durable longevity, but in the short term they share similar properties and are quite similar to work with. Maybe in the future I will put these up next to each other on the test car for a long term durability test.
I have been watching ur channel forever 3-4 years now
You say it's less slick than Bead Maker... Why is it better? Just asking.
Bead Maker can be a great product, but by itself it just doesn't have the hydrophobic footprint that is anywhere near the level that Polish Angel offers. On some waxes and sealants that are very hydrophobic, Bead Maker can reduce their hydrophobic performance when applying them on top. I've had great results using Bead Maker on top of the stronger coatings with them not being hindered by its less hydrophobic potential, they're able to really boost Bead Maker up.
But Polish Angel across the board on top of waxes, sealants, and coatings is going to be able to maintain or boost their hydrophobic performance. So for that reason, it's just a much more balanced product and I am willing to sacrifice some top end slickness in favor of that more balanced all around performance that Polish Angel provides.
Also, Bead Maker is definitely much different than Polish Angel as far as wipeability goes and product consistency, Bead Maker is much closer to your typical spray detailer or spray wax, whereas Polish Angel is much thicker, less product spreads a little further, and you don't want to dump anywhere near as much Polish Angel on the paint compared to how much guys are using for Bead Maker.
I like both but I prefer Polish Angel.
@@WaxMode Thanks! But.. why is hydrophobicity so important? Isn't slickness more important, especially in drier regions?
It's just a personal preference. For me slickness is usually the first thing to really leave the paint because we have hard water and that really saps the slickness out during the wash process, unless I'm using a rinseless wash. And so the slickness I really only get to enjoy during usage, whereas the hydrophobic potential holds up beyond the single use. Also even though the paint feels marginally slicker, this doesn't mean that dirt/dust/contamination has a tougher time sticking to the paint. I've got a testament from a lot of Bead Maker users that have had specific issues with this actually attracting more dust/pollen compared to others, although I haven't noticed this out of Bead Maker myself.
And once you get addicted to the crazy hydrophobic range that some products can offer, it's difficult to leave that behind. On the coatings, nothing is better than to get done rinsing the soap off, and then just pulling the blower out and 100% dry the paint without touching it with the drying towel.
What pressure washer gun do you use?
Pressure washer gun is the MTM Hydro SGS28, great gun and setup, I purchased it from ObsessedGarage along with some other fittings for this little Ryobi pressure washer I'm using.
My GOD. What is this sorcery ? 😱😱😱
Where do you get that flat blower nozzle?
Hey Will, the blower unit I'm using is the detachable blower motor for the Ridgid WD4080 shop vac, comes with the kit.
@@WaxMode Ty!
adams graphene next?
Ah man I'm stoked, the first formula of Adam's Ceramic Spray Coating was actually a very good performer, it really latched onto the paint and held up to that 1 year mark. But its extreme hydrophobic performance does die down a little bit after the first few months, so I'm interested in seeing how the Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating holds up. I probably won't be able to pick them up anytime soon though, eventually in the future I want to do so, but I'm still in budget mode right now, just going through some of the stuff that I've stocked up a while ago.
If Polish Angel had a durability rating of 24 months then it would only be equal to what $45 would buy of TW spray sealant. But we know that Polish Angel is lucky to last 3 to 6 months. Sure it's beautiful but so are most of the Si02 sprays. But to pay 400% more, is rediculously over priced for most people.
Turtle Wax doesn't offer the same topping capabilities as Polish Angel does. I'm not going to use Seal N Shine or Ceramic Spray Coating on any of the stronger more hydrophobic base layer coatings themselves, whereas the Polish Angel sprays provide that utility of being universal toppers, and they excel on those crazy hydrophobic coatings by not reducing their hydrophobic performance in the short term, which is something I've noticed occur when topping the stronger coatings with Turtle Wax.
The wipeability of Polish Angel also greatly exceeds what the two Turtle Wax sprays are capable of achieving without the damp microfiber assist, making PA a much more enjoyable and satisfying product to work with on a regular basis. This is one of those situations where durability and price doesn't trump the utility and ease of use and hydrophobic potential of the product, especially for guys like me that are working outside of a tight budget and have stronger preferences for different features beyond pure durability or chemical resistance.
Even though you're absolutely on price and the value that you get with Turtle Wax, it's a fantastic performance to value proposition. But there's just no way I would reach for their spray protectants on a regular basis given that I have Polish Angel on the shelf to compete against them.
@@WaxMode WaxMode; I thought it would be appropriate to transcribe some of your comments from your previous video on Aug 7 about Polish Angel High Gloss and compare them with other RUclips channels out there. Here are a few comments from your narrative on High Gloss and I quote:
“You’re paying an astronomical amount.”
“Awesome hydrophobics, it’s not the craziest I’ve seen but I’m absolutely addicted to these water beads.”
“The hydrophobicity wears off fairly quickly.”
“It’s my favorite spray sealant”,
“Geared for the enthusiasts and price aside I NEVER want to spend $70 for 200 ml.”
“Boutique product but they are some of my favorite spray sealants.”
“You can basically dry the paint with water.”
“3-6-month durability, competitive with many of the other spray sealants that are out there.” “95.8 gloss is pretty typical.”
These are WaxMode quotes on your Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions - 1.5-month durability update.
“But you can see with the rinse hereafter rinsing it with CarPro reset, we still have awesome performance out of the Ceramic Spray Coating, again it’s not going to be a hydrophobic monster, so don’t be expecting that, if you are not maintaining it with any sorts of toppers. We have a nice water sheeting rate, we can easily determine the longevity and durability of the product with just the way the water is sheeting like this.” [Kyle’s comment: I use the Ceramic Wet Wax as a topper, and it shows fantastic beading that is equal to what you show Polish Angel delivers. Just watch the APEX video of Nov 22, 2019, to see a great example of the beading properties of TW Wet Wax. Starts at 11:28 to 11:40. As they say, seeing is believing.]
“What’s the difference between the consumer's ceramics products compared to baby coating like CQuartz Lite and then a full-blown coating like the Blackfire Ceramic Coating, but there’s also that significant gap in terms of how easy each of these products are to work with. You’ve got the Hybrid Solutions Line, these are super easy to work with, anyone can pick these up without much experience and be able to get good results with them and great durability as well. Especially if you are maintaining them on a regular basis, something like the Ceramic Wet Wax in the Hybrid Solutions line which is an excellent drying aid. A huge shout out to Turtle Wax for sending me their Hybrid Solutions line for testing. I appreciate their willingness to try out their products. Let me know what you think.”
One of the TOP 5 detailing channels quotes are shown below when evaluating Turtle Wax Wet Wax, which is a topper;
“The Turtle Wax Ceramic Team of products is remarkable.”
“They’re perfect and they work incredibly well.”
“And the gloss is quite impressive, 94 gloss units.”
“…that is just like any other Quality Si02 in beading.”
“I highly recommend it [The Wet Wax].”
“The human eye cannot even recognize a gloss change under 10 gloss units.”
“The gloss test of Wet Wax raised the G.U.s by 10 points from 81.2 to 91.2.”

[Kyle’s comment, I use TW on the 10yr warrantied strongest ceramic product out there that PAN recommended. My PRO installer recommended using the TW Wet Wax as the topper during maintenance washes and the TW Spray Sealant during my annual decon on the Opti Coat Pro Plus he put on. I have had phenomenal results using his advice. That was last November when I asked him about using Polish Angel because I like the advice from Esoteric, but he said if I needed the bragging rights of using a high-end product, then go for it, but it isn’t going to give me any more than TW, if it did I would sell it to you. He showed me two clients cars who only want Polish Angel because they want the bragging rights a very expensive Boutique product would give them. He had it in his showcases. I understand how people need to show off with using certain brands, I did it for decades.]

[Kyle’s comments: That might be true in some high heat, high humidity parts of the country, but not here in the southwest. APEX, Wilson, Pan, and numerous others mention how easy it is to just use and if it streaks, then use a damp MF just as TW’s directions explain and the issue will be a non-issue. So, while I appreciate your comments about Angel Wax being easy to apply, I can also look at your comments about how ridiculously expensive it is and how easy TW is to apply in your other videos. I was a Griots man up until Nov of last year, when I changed to TW and I’m very impressed.] This is one of those situations where durability and price doesn't trump the utility and ease of use and hydrophobic potential of the product, especially for guys like me that are working outside of a tight budget and have stronger preferences for different features beyond pure durability or chemical resistance.

Off topic, but I’m gonna go ahead and ask........did u order Adams graphene yet?! If so did u get the coating or spray?!
...alternatively, you can order PolishAngel products directly at their website too.
Do you know the shelf life of this products?
I've had these Polish Angel sprays since 2018 and all three of these have held up perfectly in the bottle. I haven't noticed any changes or differences in performance compared to what I was seeing when I first used the bottles when they were fresh years ago. I keep the majority of my products inside the house though, it's like 90°F inside the garage overnight in the summer so I think keeping them inside where it's cool helps them stay fresh.
4 years unopened. 2 years opened
What’s your thoughts on Carpro Reload vs this?
Reload has a much higher tendency to want to streak and go on uneven compared to Polish Angel. Polish Angel melts into the paintwork on the final wipe, I would trust it on black much more compared to Reload. Both have great immediate hydrophobics, but I’ve seen both Reload and Rapidwaxx die out early after a few weeks with some uses.
@@WaxMode I’m currently using Hydro2 Lite and loving its effects. I assume it’s quite similar to Reload? I’m tempted to grab Cosmic Spritz eventually.
Hydro2 can definitely be a fun product to work with! If you’re not seeing streaks with Hydro2, then I would think Reload wouldn’t give you much trouble. Hydro2 for me is much quicker, but I use it up way too fast. Reload I like to use it dry, work slower, make sure I’m getting a good wipe down.
@@WaxMode Agreed Hydro2 is quite easy to use. Yeah, I don’t get any streaks whatsoever yet I hear folks that do with Hydro2. I’m very methodical though when I pressure wash. I don’t just spray randomly. I spray as if Im layering a coating down lol. Is Cosmic Spritz as good as the price makes it out to be?
I would say it’s not worth the price. As a stand-alone it won’t hold up like a coating, as a topper there are cheaper products that can fulfill the role on top of your coatings that can maintain their best water performance. But when you remove price from the equation, the satisfaction in using Cosmic Spritz or High Gloss makes them one of the best spray products on the market.
Another great vid. I think you've made up my mind about Polish Angel, but which one though? I initially was looking toward Cosmic Primer and Cosmic Spritz or High Gloss, but checking out the price of Rapidwaxx I'm slightly leaning that way. I don't mind applying protection on a fairly regular basis, not every wash, but once or twice a month I enjoy. I have a black car so I'm after as much gloss as I can get and was hoping this might do the trick.
I'm trying to improve on this ruclips.net/video/Kq6G62aT-kc/видео.html
So although I've now narrowed a brand down, I'm now trying to decide between Primer and Spritz, High Gloss or Rapidwaxx.
Black Light and Jet Seal visually look fantastic, I still quite like Black Light especially, and CG’s Glossworkz glaze. As far as Polish Angel goes, I think it’s worth checking out Rapidwaxx’s 200ml size first.
There are some out there that can find differences between High Gloss, Cosmic Spritz, and Rapidwaxx, but for me they are very similar in terms of feel and effect. They all have that unique feel that Polish Angel has perfected as a spray, so spending less with Rapidwaxx to get your feet wet is worth it. From there you can experiment by jumping up to Cosmic Spritz or High Gloss, although the benefit those may offer may be only marginal at best above Rapidwaxx.
As far as looks, I’m not sure if these can quite top what Black Light and Jet Seal can deliver, High Gloss has become a favorite of many in terms of looks but I could not notice any difference on the colors that I had been testing them on the most. What Polish Angel really offers is the most satisfying spray protection or spray wax experience that no one else has mastered quite as well, and they offer top notch coating compatibility. Outright paint protection will always be the best with actual paint coatings, but I have my fun with the maintenance, and the Polish Angel trio have all done really well on top of the base layer coatings.
@@WaxMode hhi and thanks for the detailed reply. I'm using jet seal and blacklist at the moment. As you say, rapidwaxx is possibly a good vet to try. Thanks again. Cheers 🍻
In my opinion it lacks in slicknes
too expensive for me. I'll stick with Meguiars Synthetic Spray Wax
I've never actually used Meguiar's D156, I've always used Ultimate Quik Wax and was so infatuated with how UQW smelled that I never had the desire to grab the gallon of D156. Fantastic topper though, Meguiar's really nailed it with the UQW/D156 formula.
@@WaxMode how do you compare UQW to RapidWaxx?
I use UQW as a drying aid every wash, so longevity isn’t a concern. Looking for feedback on beading, ease of application, ability to fill light marring.
This stuff is not worth the price premium
I will pay the price premium, because I'm out of my mind and right now there's nothing else that I've used that is as satisfying to use in the spray category that provides this balanced of a performance as far as hydrophobics and ease of use goes. I will not be without one of these sprays in my arsenal at any one time, they're that good to me.
Find something that does everything this does for less.. there isn't anything sadly, as mentioned in the video.
With Polish Angel it's not just about the destination/results but also about the journey/user experience.
The stuff is just ridiculously entertaining to use and if that has a higher cost, so be it. After all, this is supposed to be fun, no?
"Worth the price" is all dependent on the person.
Look how the water flow is like spermfobic 🙃😅
Honeslty I dont think anyone understands how little product you can get away with. You can probably get atleast 6-8 applications on a station wagon with a 100ml bottle. I barely use anything to cover my entire Volvo V70. A local detailer who only use Polishangel can get away with less than 5ml of Rapidwaxx on an entire car. Getting this many applications out of a tiny bottle its cheaper than many worse spraywaxes.
Unscented? I really like the smell of rapidwaxx...Not potent of course.
Just watched this again, for some context i think your are saying rapidwaxx doesn't have any added scent. Its the chemical makeup like you said. I think your right! I love rapidwaxx!

Humberto! What's up my brother!
@@WaxMode I have heard of this Polish Angel from a friend detailer in California and he had this product at home. He told me that this product performs consistently great always but he didn't care about the scent if it performed and concurs with the labels part. He told me they had also this FLAKE product that makes no foaming for washing the car that is a carnauba soap. The water looks milky and even used as waterless wash. He knew about this product in Spain where they use it a lot too. He told me they make their products environmentally safe. They had one called Ultra something or Centurion but forgot if it was a wax for black vehicles or if it was for deep cleaning that acts fast but doesn't damage waxes or sealant. Sorry, forgot the names.
If I recall correctly Apex Detail did a video on V2 and my friend told me it is ok to use V2 alone but if you use the primer 9H prior to V2, it will last longer and cure time is 12 hours. The shine and durability is .something you never believe. I don't have it but that is one of the products most used in Spain and Argentina.
I use super clean because it is readily accessible and available in Advanced Auto but Bilt Hamber Surfex HD is best thing. Same happens with Bilt Hamber Auto Wash or WaxPlanet Eight Below or Ultimate but readily accessible and available is Chemical Guys Honeydew except it is not as a good cleaner as the previous two.
Xoxo from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
It should be at those prices. No thanks.
