Thanks for putting in the effort for quality videos. I’m 2 week in using TC, and my clients love it so far. For those questioning, you can find it for $25 from a local distributor - Amazon is $45 w/free ship when it’s in stock. What’s your dilution? - I’ve been going 1:1 with distilled.
The Technicians Choice looks like a great product even without taking the price into the equation but with that price for the gallon, it’s a winner by a country mile. Wish we could get it in the UK.
Jimbo, I'd say water beading is a hold over from carnuba wax when that's all there was. People used that as a guage of quality, as new products came out they were developed to bead because of consumer demand. Your right you want sheeting, its evacuating of the water off the surface, people need to realize those beads are not all going to roll off especially on horizontal surfaces, and they are possibly going to etch.
Shouldn't etching be an issue only if you are washing and rinsing with hard water? I have never had an issue with etching from rain. If I wash and rinse with hard water then etching is a HUGE issue! In that case I need to wash, rinse and DRY each section by itself to prevent any water spotting.
Good call on sticking with a wet towel. Any "pH neutral" soap has to be very close to ~7pH. Water is ~7pH. So there's no "neutralizing" effect, and adding a soap on top of other chemicals just means more potential for unexpected chemical reactions. Wet Towel 2020.
TC Tec582 can be used with a foam cannon as a diluting method. It obviously won’t foam but it’s a way to dilute it and spray it all over a vehicle and follow up with a drying towel. My shop does that all the time and it works pretty well. We get the 5 gallon jug for a little over $100 so very economical.
If you’re looking for another rinseless to clear the residue, check out mkees37 n-914. Doesn’t leave anything behind. I have 2 gallons of ONR still, but can’t stop using mckees lately. It’s that good.
I bought a gallon of the Tech after seeing one of your previous videos and I absolutely love it. I use it on my motorcycle and nothing I've used as far as detail sprays hold up as well. I have never thought to dilute it some, I'll have to try it out. Keep up the great videos!
How about reviewing the TEC581 Ceramic polish and the TEC580 Ceramic coating. Wondering how they would all work together. Ceramic polish, then ceramic coating, then maintain with ceramic spray.
great video, but something you don't account for is the added gloss due to defect-filling properties. I've seen another RUclipsr test many different sealants on swirled/hazed paint and capture the results under very bright lighting, and reload was one of the best at adding gloss. under those lighting conditions, you could actually see a very clear, undeniable difference in gloss, color darkening, and defect filling compared to the control (bare) portion and the other tested sealants. not sure how TC would compare in that category, but just pointing it out. it does look like it has the win for price and for durability, though.
Yes another important quantitative and qualitative critical parameter is measuring with a gloss meter the vehicle finish after applying technician's choice ceramic spray detail and the car pro reload; now one could also change things up in the test protocol procedure by also applying both the technician's ceramic spray detail and car pro reload by using the foam block with suede cloth applicator to apply a more consistent uniform consistent coating under constant application pressure using undiluted technician's choice ceramic spray detailer versus car pro reload; one can also add an additional step surface preparation step to the test door panel also as well by using the car pro's essence extreme gloss primer surface prep since it very effectively serves as one of the better blends of key primary nano sized quartz that has high gloss durable reinforcing surface finish resin compounds that is combined with the critical surface preparation fine abrasive grit polishing compound; this would make for a very solid and reliable base foundation layer upon which two cross competing products such as the technician's choice ceramic spray detailer and car pro's reload test product choices; now this would not only be a much tougher challenge test for both product choices being compared but it would allow one to also put down one primary coat and then also add a secondary coating for the technician's choice ceramic spray detailer versus car pro reload also as well; to see how they hold up in that particular endurance riveting challenge scenario indeed; the purpose here of course is to allow each respective product the best possible chance to optimally excel and outperform the other potential competing product choice; while collecting even more critical characterizing cross competing product data parameters under various parameters also as well.
Jimbo, I'm giving TC the win. As far as your paint prep test, I put them up against a quality sealant, Jescar Powerlock +, or what might be interesting is to to see if Adam's Paint prep can remove the Adam's Paint Sealant. Does the family play well together?
Thank you for the great video! Technicians choice is awesome! I’ve been using it for a while now. Great to use in many circumstances I like it best for regular maintenance✌🏼
Jumbo, I have used Menzerna PL on my 2014 car since new. Applying every 8 to 10 months. All I do is was and dry when in between. It holds up very well in the Florida sun. Have you ever tested the polymers against the ceramics? The ceramics look like they require “reloading” more frequently. enjoy your videos.
You compromised both products by diluting them. Should have used full strength for this test. Definitely sold on TC. Finally found a distributor in Canada. Keep up the great work. Subscribed.
@@caliluxurydetailing1853 there is plenty on supply's out there, but they just keep making it harder and harder to get a good deal just for views. It's no about mad or happy it's about fact's
Not a fair comparison did you dilute the carpro reload down.And if you did I don’t think it’s a proper comparison at all because they should be tested as they come out of the factory un diluted
Auto Detailing Podcast what is a decent ceramic coating for my car for under $100 . Just would like your opinion on that thank you. Make up something that is readily available
Would love to see videos over time to see how long TC choice holds up over time. The lab tests are ok, but it's better to know under driving conditions how many months you got out of it.
its extremely hard to do that. the reason for test like this is that i can have a controlled way to test across multiple products without having to wait months or year and then attempt to recreate the exact patterns multiple times.
Auto Detailing Podcast I am so grateful you even responded and you make some valid points in your reply. The problem with detail channels ismthey get so technical, yet I am still wondering "is he saying I should get this or not" Maybe state the products you would use on your own car taking into consideration performance, accesbility, price, etc. If you review a better Product state that you a replacing the other product with this new one and state the high level reasons why. Then go into the technical tests and results as you normally do so that it's more of "supporting" data rather than the central content. Right now I use Optimum car shampoo, Car Pro Reload, Rhino iron dissolving wheel cleaner (supporting a local detail shop that I think has a superior product), Car Pro PERL, chemicalmguys new car smell and leather smell air fresheners.
I will take technicians choice. Because of the price point. I tend to think that the big companies that are well-established I mean most of them that have those huge companies I don’t think their products hold up as well. Is the mama and papa products. I think the small company just starting out has something to prove and they therefore will make a better and more chemical resistant product. Just my opinion
You said CarPro is well known. I’m an Auto Body Tech and use Technicians Choice at work. My local rep sells it to me. Along with TEC580. I’ve never heard of CarPro.
It's the tc. We use it at the dealership I work for and I use it when I detail on the side. Stuff is amazing and we get it from a local supplier so I always have it on hand.
Nice video! If used as just a standalone, how long do you think the TC could last? Sometimes it is nice to have an easy option for helping friends and family take care of their car.
One can buy a gloss meter on amazon for about $30 that would be able to effectively quantitatively measure gloss reflectivity units; if one's gloss reflectivity falls below 80 units then one probably needs to break out one's old trusty brand name random orbital dual action polisher and use the always excellent car pro's essence surface preparation polisher with its integrated built-in nano sized quartz and durable high gloss resins compound surface preparation vehicle refinishing product choice.
Looking to see if you could recommend a couple waxes/sealants that have an incredibly slick feel to it, months after being aplied. I used a very old can of Mothers Pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax on 1 car and that has a very slick feel to it, vs Duragloss 105 on another car and that doesn't match the slickness of the Mothers. Is it most carnaba waxes are slicker vs synthetic waxes?
One could also use one of technician's choice other product choice offerings in the form of technician's choice acqua glow; a quality hybrid silicone oxide polymer based paint finish sealant product that could be used as a secondary layer vehicle finish topper that could be applied on top of the technician's choice ceramic spray detailing primary base coat layer.
yes the Technician's Choice Acqua Glow is equivalent to the Extreme Solutions Poly Seal; as they are both highly effective hybrid polymer silicone oxide paint sealant protection agents; Technician's Choice Acqua Glow however is can be brought via amazon for $35 per gallon and at that price is an unbeatable deal indeed; just simply put it in a quart spray bottle and simply spray and apply it once every two weeks by spraying into a moistened micro fiber cloth and call it a day; that one gallon of Acqua Glow will last for a very long time indeed enough to make ones vehicle finish shiny for a very long time indeed. Now one can always of course use the Technician's Choice Ceramic Detail Spray as the effective primary base coat and the Acqua Glow as the optimal topper coat to act as the sacrificial layer that gets renewed more frequently in order to effectively better optimally protect the Ceramic Detail Spray base coat layer and keep it look pristine quality longer; now that particular layered technician's choice product combination allows one to cut down on ones annual reapplication times thus effectively saving oneself even more time and money over the long haul.
@@profdleeucc dang 😁 thanks I've been using it for years now....I love it you don't even have to dry the vehicle just apply on wet car's....thank you for your reply 🙏
@@autodetailingpodcast I was going to wax with Collinite #845, then apply this over it, and then in between as a detail spray. So, your saying I can skip the wax, and just use this? Thanks for your quick reply.
Great stuff! As a stand alone I would opt for Technician's Choice, but f I were to apply a Ceramic coating like CQuartz 3.0 I would choose Reload as a maintenance coat because of the synergy between them.
Yes simply once a month spray four to five sprays each of reload into a medium moistened microfiber cloth to do each specific defined zoned area; hood/front quarter panels areas and door areas and roof area and trunk/rear quarter panel areas; as ones monthly ceramic coating maintenance.
Hey man, can you try out the last coat? I've heard nothing but good things about them and actually ordered 2 bottles which are expected to arrive today. Customer support has already been great. It would be nice to see you put it through your torture test though.
Hey Jimbo, so I tested out The Last Coat today, looked pretty good. However, I got another not so known product called DualPolymer Waterless Car Wash. I compared the 2 on the hood of a car and visually you couldn't really see a difference, however I noticed the DualPolymer Waterless Car Wash seemed to be much slicker. If you could review both these products and maybe put them head to head that would be great. Just throwing out some ideas! Thank you!
Jimbo that technician spray when you did a video 2 weeks ago about it I got the 16 once bottle and they charge me a $140 for the shipping I will order that product again!!!

@@genysmenrunner1677 gotcha! Nd the only reason im learning too is for potential customers haha so practicing on my cars. Griots poly Wax is a tank too. In Chicago that has lasted me 10 hard months!
@@godowarus Im talking about during the test. There is a lot of overspray from spraying and rinsing off. The control section might look a lot more like the test sections in the end if he did (judging by how it looks in the beginning), but we dont know now. My guess is that both sections are pretty much dead right after power clean, and definitely after the last round, but because of the residue on the control section the result look different.
I have had detail shop for ten yrs going very strong why Dilute for the price of the Technician choice why not get the full effect at full strength for the customer thanks great video
Wog yes u are rite but if ur a Professional detailer u would or should know not to apply anything in the sun or on a hot vehicle should only be applied in the bay after a fresh wash and clay if needed thanks

haha yeah that is something to check with ceramics, you could have a light when you will remove to see the spots left. Meguiars FF is very fast haha I like to wax my cars too@@daves.3278
@@genysmenrunner1677 gotcha! Nd the only reason im learning too is for potential customers haha so practicing on my cars. Griots poly Wax is a tank too. In Chicago that has lasted me 10 hard months!
David Saucedo the marketing today is for ceramics 🙄 many people like the poly wax I will try it one day
Jimbo!!!
Larry!!!
You forgot to wipe the residue off the control section.
Pierriewargen maybe he did it off camera. It did cut into the torture test after all. Unless you meant a part during the test
@@godowarus Im talking about during the test. There is a lot of overspray from spraying and rinsing off. The control section might look a lot more like the test sections in the end if he did (judging by how it looks in the beginning), but we dont know now. My guess is that both sections are pretty much dead right after power clean, and definitely after the last round, but because of the residue on the control section the result look different.
Was just going to comment this too. The control had so much APC residue.
your right I didnt think it was worth showing
where can you find it for 25$?
google and find a local distributor
Come on Jimbo, just go bead maker & be happy😋
I use Bead Maker exclusively, nothing beats it for slickness or it's high gloss. Great produce, it beat's them all.
Have you tried nano shock? It smokes bead maker and is just as cheap
Bead Maker is my favorite, but I'll look up your stuff.
Dust maker.
Tech582 handles the heat better than bead maker.
I have had detail shop for ten yrs going very strong why Dilute for the price of the Technician choice why not get the full effect at full strength for the customer thanks great video
Dominic dilution can mitigate potential streaking when ceramic spray products are used in direct sunlight or on a hot panel
Wog yes u are rite but if ur a Professional detailer u would or should know not to apply anything in the sun or on a hot vehicle should only be applied in the bay after a fresh wash and clay if needed thanks
Dominic LOL - ok, will do
