Guys, as discussed in the video the rating for these coating is calculated differently. No, running the test differently will not change the result...
But does it fill in scratches that are already there? Maybe it's better as a way to repair them than as a way to prevent them?
Are you completely sure the coating even stayed applied? All I heard from the results was "we can't even tell it's there", except for the totally precise and definitely reliable tip-water-off-phone test
@@possiblyachannel, yes my thought too, repairing a scratched screen that samples moisture in the scratch and produces contact points that you don't actually touch would be nice if you could cure with this!?
@@Insan1tyW0lf I also wonder if 24hr was enough, what if it was applied in a thicker layer and left for 48hrs - 7 days for proper application
@@possiblyachannel no it wont, glass and a coating are different materials filling in holes wont change how light reflects off the scratch

linus: pours water on it the next day
Yeah... That's potentially a pretty big flaw in their methodology. There is no good excuse to have ignored the manufacturer's cure time and cut it in half. I've worked with lots of resins where doing that would be like half-baking a cake.
Was baffled by this as well.
@@markcoren2842 the extra wait is solely to avoid water spotting, it has nothing to do with hardness. Linus even explained that the coating had a different hardness scale.
Also he didn't clean the screen enough
One day of curing should be enough for any car. You just don't want to use other chemicals, like wash it, for a week.
The water beading off at a different "speed" when tilting the device by hand is naturally because your tilt was not perfectly controlled. Try it with any hydrophobic phone-shaped brick and you'll see one side will bead faster than the other depending on how imperfect your tilt is.
And the quantity of water too
Linus, "I used to run a painting company."
Also Linus, "I want to have a hard line between the treated and untreated aides. What's painter's tape? Free hand baby!"
wonder why he 'used to'
Its fairly common for people who do that for a living not to use the tape: it takes ages to set up, risks pulling off paint/leaving residue, and isn't really necessary if you're good. They just paint up to the edge first with a precise brush and a steady hand. it's called "cutting in"
@@AngDavies painter's tape is specifically designed not to rip off paint or leave residue...if i paid someone to paint my house and didnt tape it up first, i'd say "all the edges better be crisp and straight, or im not going to pay you" the painters would go, "fuck, maybe we should tape up the edges and lay down some plastic sheets first like every other painting contractor that has ever existed"...
@@kryptkeeper457 Actually often times cutting in free handed can result in much cleaner lines in the case of textured walls. With the texture, the tape often doesn't evenly adhere and allows small amounts of seepage under the tape.

11:10 Linus scratches at a level 8, with deeper grooves when he drops his Razer Blade live at LTX
im sure that no layer at all of the product was left on the phone when applied.superfine surface,no time to dry,no porous material,anti-oil coating,etc,etc.
i used rain-x(water repellant coating) on the ship front windows since a lot of years,same apply method as this,and it is a great difference if you apply the product and wait till is almost all dry before you wipe the excess.
if you wait,it will last much longer and work better.take in mind the time you need to apply all the windows,or in this case,apply to an entire car before you can whipe the excess,versus the time you need to apply it to half a phone.there is no time for it to bond,nor a surface to bond anywhay,it will srink in a drop.

This is one of the reasons I get frustrated with some of the LTT videos. If you don't follow the instructions and just jump ahead steps/take shortcuts etc. you're not giving the product a good faith test.
@@capsulate8642 I mean they arn't forcing you to buy their product.
@@capsulate8642 You can still drive the car while it cures. You have to try to not get it wet for 24/48 hours. The seven days are just for chemical exposure because it hasn´t fully cured.
If it gets wet before curing a little bit you´re likely taking more of it off thus reducing its lifespan.
@@capsulate8642 that's because it takes time to cure and contaminants will be permanently BONDED to the surface of your car if it gets wet which will ruin the whole coating. If you don't want to install it properly don't buy the product.
"Leave for 48 hours"
"Don't put water for a few days"

Men, even if you do it right thats is how it works... it dont make it more durable if you let it more days.
@DJ Nasiatka even if it's still shit, at least that would be on the product, not on him
@DJ Nasiatka well that rating is used in paint and coating industries... sooo is really what you are gonna get but is pretty dificult for a product to make a phone more hardness, if it were that easy why they dont do it?
@DJ Nasiatka it doesn't work on vehicle paint. It is snake oil... Its sold purely for the benefit of making lots of money out of stupid people...

@Vizman216 At least, that's where it needs to go unless you want it to thermal throttle.
Look at are profile pics
VaroCAL Strange he’d buy that in the first place despite having no anus. Who or what did he buy it for?
I have AvalonKing ceramic coating on a couple of cars and it's a night-and-day difference how it performs. The car actually gets cleaner if you leave it out in the rain for a little while because the water beads just carry the dirt away. The dirt doesn't stick very strongly to the surface. That's great because it means less car washes and you're scratching the paint less because you're scrubbing it less often. Continues performing like that for years, it's phenomenal stuff.

Linus, could be the case the smartphone you tested is a "new" one, and the coating it comes from factory is somewhat similar to the one you are trying to apply.
Maybe testing in a used phone, when the factory oleophobic coating is no longer in play, can make a difference.
Hey Linus!
Former car detailing guy here, I nerded out about it when I was doing it for work and wound up with a big supply of some different waxes, sealants, etc.... over the years I have used these products on various phones to minimize scratches and partially restore some dinged up units....
The results were varying, but one thing that I absolutely learned was that you should, generally, NOT DO THIS TO GLASS SCREEN DEVICES. The primary reason why is that most/all of these types of products include solvents and/or polishing agents that will, most likely depending on the products, strip the anti-grease layer off of the phone's display.... This means fingerprints. lots of fingerprints. if it doesn't do this it will not have the same anti-grease performance, and I think just adds more layers of material with different refraction indexes, and makes the grease show up more easily.
My phones definitely cleaned up easier, and looked better than they did to begin with.
The other concern I would have is that these products generally recommend gloves and avoiding skin contact, like you clearly realize given you wore gloves to apply it.... after a few bad reactions to exposure to various chemicals over the years as well (these not included, I think*) I'm also just more careful with stuff like that than I once was.... these products shouldn't be applied to something that you handle so thoroughly and so often as your phone. Fridges, shiny surfaces you *dont* habitually touch sure, but the phone just seems like a bad idea to me.
"This is a tech channel, not a car channel"
I seem to remember you saying you wanted to do car reviews and such a long while ago

@@benjaminmiddaugh2729 but different and besides we already know he's not that knowledgeable about cars so if he wishes to do so then he better start learning
@@geekmechanic1473 My point was that (if I understood Linus correctly, and I think I did) the point of the car reviews was to review them from the perspective of "does this tech make sense for the consumer?" and not "is this car good or not as a car?." That sort of review is not necessarily outside the realm of what I would expect Linus to be good at, especially given how much good sense he talks about cars when they come up on the WAN show, and it's not too much of a stretch for the channel concept in general.
11:10 Well, now we know that Linus isn't harder than an 8 on Mohs' scale...

Facepalm
Exactly 😂
yep, Linus rushing things instead of doing it the right way, forming opinions on products that he is too careless to follow the directions on. Methodology matters when you are testing a product. It may have performed the same, but we wouldn't know.
If Linus never saw basketball before, went to a hoop without a net, he might assume you throw it throw the hoop and try to hit the square on the backboard, because directions don't mean anything :p
I mean, I've never played badminton, I just assume you are supposed to catch the birdie with your racket and try to throw it at the opposing side's face. You get different points for hitting different parts, the nose is a bullseye, eyes are a penalty ... if they catch it, just means its their serve.
The advertising said one day so he gave it a day
@@larrylentini5688 the advertising says one day to drive it not one day to cure. It specifically says don't wet it for 48 hours, and full cure in about a week
*dont wash it for 5-7 days
No problem getting it wet after 24 hours but you dont want any chemicals on it before it is fully cured (which takes 5-7 days if correctly applied)

Also I believe he didn't let it sit on the phone to haze a little.
Like wax, a little hazing is needed as that's when you know the product has stuck.
I currently have one of these cheap ceramic coating on my phone.. And I haven't gotten any scratches on the back of the phone from my cases, nor on the camera lens too.
And I mentioned cases because I've had cases that would scratch the back, so does my mom and sisters

05:20 : let coating sit then wipe off remain residue with towel
Linus: wipes off immediatly
@@randomesteven3935 I agree. Having worked along side people who do ceramic coating as a business, they really emphasize the importance of letting the product haze.
This quality and prepration of this "test" is quite poor and overall lazy. Looks almost as if they rushed the video for the sake of having something to upload on this topic. 🤷♂️
It also just doesn't matter because 9H is not on Moh's scale. It wasn't going to work.
@@LinusTechTips If you knew it "wasn't going to work", what was the point in going through the shenanigans in the first place? Surely a "review" and "tip" based channel should at least follow directions accurately to discern whether or not a product might work, REGARDLESS of one's predicted hypothesis.
These coatings primarily help prevent scratches by making it harder for dirt that can cause scratches form sticking to your car. Dirt that's stuck to your car has a chance to scratch it however dirt that beads off with water does not have that chance. Basically reduces scratches by reducing the chance something will stick to the car long enough to scratch it.

Interesting. Maybe try using Liquid Armor + The Ceramic coating together. Try applying the Liquid Armor first then the Ceramic coating on half of the screen ; then Apply the Ceramic Coating first then the liquid armor 2nd and see if there is any difference between the 2 combo's.
I want a follow up to this where a layer of the ceramic coating is put over all those scratches you made! That's where the ceramic was meant to work best, filling in the cracks. Now that we know the ceramic looks and feels identical to the standard gorilla glass, I want to know if it would repair an already scratched screen.

Can you test to see if coating it again would take the scratches off? Could it cover pre-existing scratches or cracks? That would be quite incredible then.
I protect my phone with a method, that was just discovered by German researchers. Actually if you don't drop your stuff, it wont break. I was amazed when I read an article about that.
Sadly I dropped my phone while reading that...
When you have once small scratch on your perfect screen:
what I have seen online was people using this to replace their worn off oleophobic/hydrophobic screen coating and filling back glass cracks to prevent cuts.
You can see the difference in contact angle of the water with the phone in the very first test suggesting that the ceramic coating further improves on the hydrophobic coating that is already on the phone. Contact angle reveals everything. Look near the point of the edge of the drop and the glass
4:21 Linus looks like a serial killer😂

"Where's the alcohol?"
That's what I ask myself every morning when I wake up
Bro, don't drink alcohol every morning, stay safe, much love
Ok boomer
"where's the alcohol?"
"yeah that's better"
But what about applying this stuff to a phone that's been scratched before? Does this product fill the grooves in the glass?
I would like to know will this product fill in existing scratches? That might make it worthwhile to use
You should try if it can repair the scratches you made...
That tampered glass is really flat (just like other glass), it didn't have many pores for the coating to sit..
It didn't meant to coat a glass, it's to coat PAINT.. At least test it on plastic back phone, or even better a FOLDABLE SCREEN..
(Of course I highly doubt it'll work, I also doubt it'll protect car paint 😑)
I'm under the belief that the oleophobic layer is almost like an extremely thin sheet that's kind of sprayed onto the glass, even if the coating is a 9 you've placed it on a plastic (or similar) layer that's like a 4 so when you scratch you break right through the 9 and scrape up the 5.
Now that youve scratched the phone pretty significantly will you please now do a video showing how noticeable the scratches are after you polish or apply the car treatment to the screen. I am interested in using this product for a few reasons including 1 - to remove noticeable scratches from my screen 2 - to repair DVDs/CDs in my collection and 3 - to repair scratches to my laptop monitors. I really hope this gets your attention and well done on the quality of the presentation.

I own a business professionally paint correcting and ceramic coating high end vehicles, and there is a lot of misinformation out there. Ceramic is not a filler, that’s why in an automotive setting, you have to polish or “level” the clear coat so you’re applying ceramic over a near flawless surface, or as close to perfection as you can achieve. Ceramic essentially seals in the work underneath, so if you apply ceramic over paint without decontamination or correction, it will be hydrophobic, however there will still be flaws and blemishes underneath. If you want a filler, PPF, also known as clear bra, acts as a filler for minor swirls and scratches however rock chips and deeper scratches will still be visible. Also the misconception that you’ll never have to wash your car again is false. It’ll make cleaning much easier and it is far more durable and hydrophobic than any traditional waxes or sealants out there, but you still have to wash your car. There is a lot to this that I can’t even begin to explain in a single comment, but this video is full of false information. People only think it’s snake oil because they believe the propaganda and marketing ploys pushed on them instead of seeking a professional opinion or doing their own research!
Hi. I bought a windshield glass repellent sealant for cars. I'm applying it to my smartphone screen because oleophobic coating worn of and it makes screen silky smooth again. Do you think i can damage phone screen this way?
Could it be used perhaps on a older phone, one that's been used for a couple of years and has it's own protective film worn off? How much of a difference would that make?
Yes, drops of water flow more "quickly" off the edge of a surface when they are closer to the edge than another set of drops. What a good idea to test that.
Another way he could have tested was to apply a couple drops of water on each side and measure the waters contact angle to the surface, you would immediatly see that the water is more "round" coming off the surface on the coated part
0:38 I'm only 38 seconds in, but it sounds like you came to the same conclusion as Vinwiki.
Visiting this video a couple of years later, how does this compare to Apple’s Ceramic Shield?
The coating probably didn't really help because there is barely any micro-level gaps on the phone glass, so there wasn't much to grab a hold of when you removed it. (AKA: you didn't really put it on)
I am assuming that if you use a plastic screen protector, the liquid coating would actually be useful to help remove finger friction and gunk.
