First time I've heard that Chemical Guys is a hated brand. Please expalin more about that.
Nope... hated... Marketing is cheesy and bordering on snake oil sales.
Products dont work that well when compared to other professional level lines.
chemical guys have a lot of repetitive products (Do the same thing) whitch makes it seem more like a gemic hounestly thats just in my opinion, My product of choice is Adams 1. Becuase they have great marketing 2. Because the products wre best in the buissness, they have had a lot of experience and i feel like their products are thourough 3. You get the same and a lot of times even better results as AMMO NYC and they are not over priced.
No water shed test. ?
Chemical Guys have a lot of products but they do have some good ones like VRP, GlossWorx, Inner Clean, Clay Luber, trim aerosol spray, and Hybrid V07.
Chemical Guys is a consumer line! Not a professional line.
Chemical guys has really changed and I've used a ton of their products and haven't been disappointed yet. Amazing for the price
They have great products. Not sure why some of the detailing community as Jimbo says “hates” them. I haven’t tried a product of theirs that I didn’t like
@@SittingWithDogs completely agree with you. The only thing I'm a little skeptical about is how many products they have. I feel like some of them are almost the same as others they just change it up a little bit and market it as something different if that makes any sense.
I agree!!! What's more chemical guys car polish have UV blockers!!! Best for your buck!!👍
I wouldnt let this dude detail my bicycle. Swirl marks, cheap towels, waxing in the direct sun...then the finger swipe. Good lord
fendy2411 amen I wouldn’t have him touch my suv
Lmao!!!
Agreed..I hate watching these wanna be detailers test products they don't know how to use.
Is that a car he detailed?
I mean, to be fair, clean costco MF towels are probably fine for a bicycle.
To have a fair comparison should have used jet seal 109 and Adam’s paint sealant. The skin is a paint sealant, not a wax.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
And butter wax is more of a glaze than a wax
How can you say they are the same without doing a longevity test? At least do a hydrophobic test. Hell, you could put turtle wax on there and it would probably act the same. Longevity is what separates products, along with hydrophobic properties. I bet you could wash those spots and chemical guys and adams would come right off after one wash.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
You CANT do a longevity test. What works for 2 months in Southern California where there is little rain, and lots of sun, may only work for a month here in Boston where the streets are covered in salt six months out of the year. Also these are for "home detail" products. Many of the people using these are going to bring their car through a car wash which, as we all know, does not use PH balanced soap. The soap here on the East Coast is going to be worse than that on the West Coast, and certainly different then the Mid West. So when a guy in California tells me that a "sealant" has a life of 3 months, to me that could be a matter of a month to weeks.
@@bobbyalford2325 The voice of reality! These people lose common sense and have to find something to bitch about. If it was my channel I'd tell them to f off and then they'd get butt hurt and unsubscribe or become trolls.
Lmao bobby you are correct that harsher conditions will affect how long a sealents may last. a car parked in a garage will have clearcoat that last longer than a car daily driven, that's common sense. However applying 3 different products onto the same car, experiencing the same conditions, will give you a valid duration comparison whether your on the east coast or west coast. The question isn't how long does product A last. The question is between products A, B, and C which one will give you longer protection given they face the same conditions.
I use the Chemical guys butter. I’m but an amateur whom appreciates my car looking good. I like that I can do the car so quickly.
I’ll use Adams any day of the week. 2 day shipping, awesome customer service and even better product.
I’m not sure what this video proved. You got all that by the way it was applied and taken off? How well do they protect against bird droppings, acid rain, how long does it last when the sun is beating down and how well does it perform against water spotting. There was no testing done at all this was purely done by application, and ease of it being taken off and the way they smell? Plus I assume you know by now Ammo skin is a sealant. It’s also not $75. I wish real world testing would be done. I like all you do Jimbo and love the podcast you set out always great information and thank you for that but this video is very misleading and not fair to all companies the way this was conducted, especially ammo.
My suggestion in the future is when testing products is put them in real world situation like rain, sun beating down, water spotting etc. This will give a better idea of how well they protect and not worry about water behavior, which really means nothing at all. Water behavior or water bearing does not equal protection. Jason Rose has mentioned this plenty of times.
As a diyer, watching jimbo, dallas paint correction, and apex detail taught me to use common sense in doing this stuff and look out for products that are mostly hyped.
Remember this: CG and Adams are a wax product that will last a few washes. AMMO skin is a sealant wax that will last upp to 6 months (tested). If you test the products like in the video the result for any wax/sealant/coating it will problaby be the same 😉
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
Well. CG has a sealant that you apply called jet seal. Both the wax and the seal amd even the gloss would have cost the same as one bottle of ammo.
You can still buy a glaze, a sealant, and butter wax from chemical guys and it's still cheaper than ammo.
I purchased the leather care kit. While the solutions are OK, the bristles on the brush for cleaning started falling out and shedding all over the interior after use on only 3 seats.
I brought this to Chemical Guys attention and their response was "thank you for your feedback" and "welcome to the Chemical Guys family". No apology or offer to replace the poor-quality brush. I won't be a repeat customer.
I agree with some of the people in the comment section as in AMMO is a polymer sealant not a traditional paste or “butter” wax. You should’ve done Meguiars fast finish vs the AMMO skin. Those are two synthetic sealants that you could actually compared the longevity too. Even if the fast finish is a liquid in my experience with it on a retail level it’s water beading ability’s are insane and it makes washing your car so much easier due to it repelling dirt and contamination.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
Lost credibility when he started applying in the sun.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
James lol
James yeah this video is fucking retarded
Or applying in circles...
Wet butter wax can be applied in the sun
I do agree that how easily a wax/sealant goes on and off is a big considering factor. But one of the main differences between ammo and the other two is that it’ll last you up to 8-9 months while you’ll barely get a month out of the other two products. That to me as a detailer is more important because the customer isn’t going to care how easy or hard it is for me to apply, he/she is going to care about the longevity. Ammo is about 4x the price but you’re getting about 9x the protection, while also still getting the easy application and wipe off. So in my unbiased opinion this test wasn’t as in-depth as it should be, it only tested one aspect.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
I love Chemical Guys (not saying Adam's or any other product is not good), all I use is their products. I've compared Adam's Paint Correcting Polish to CG's V36 Compound and I got the same results between the 2.
My only complaint is they seem to have too many products, they have refined too much. So a certain product for a certain paint color, or certain finish or certain paint blemish removal, etc.... Fact is they are a very good product and I will continue to use until I experience otherwise.
That's cool and all but $75 for a bottle. Hell no!
@@Slavic_Eagle 😂
Just curious what you are trying to show here besides similarities in the application and "looks". Larry does mention that it's supposed to dry to a hard layer, but in his video, he does mention letting it sit overnight and not in sunlight for 15min. What "performance" are you judging? Application? Is this a joke post? What would have been a more complete video is if you would have waxed a third of the hood with each product and let them sit for a month, two months, three months and then tested for hydrophobic properties and beading. The application performance is not why people buy a certain brand or wax, it's the longterm protection that they look for.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
I watched your new video and I just laughed when you were shocked the alcohol took off the product. Which it also took off the Megs. Then your comment about using Dawn was equally laughable.
I also listened to your podcast about a week ago where you were clearly butthurt Larry refused to do your little show and then you subsequently create these two videos in the matter of a weeks time. You can say this isn't a bashing video but the tone of your videos come across differently.
And look, I get it, Larry's stuff is expensive for some things and slightly overpriced for others. But he is a boutique brand, not a mass produced brand you can find at any corner auto store, Target or Walgreens. Do I think Skin is expensive? Fuck yeah. Is it worth it? Maybe not. There are a few of his products that I do find either work better than others I tried or I feel the finish is better.
This is how I look at Larry's stuff, Matt with Obsessed Garage, or even your branded products. Is your hat worth $26? Could I find another hat that will shield my head from the sun and sweat that is cheaper? Sure can. But people that are willing to buy your hat, or Matt's branded shirts or Larry's products do it in support of the guy behind the brand. I have learned so much from watching his videos and Matt's that when I purchase something from their stores it's my way of giving back for all those free videos I consumed over the past year.
fair enough, and I agree - which is why I state to actually buy their product. If I was truly butt-hurt I would do a review on his whole brand and find issues with each product, that IMO would be brand bashing, because honestly he prob has great stuff in his line, this just happened to be the most expensive wax/sealant I could find. I appreciate your time to not only comment but go through and listen to my podcast and check out my shop. that stuff takes time, and time is a valuable, so i appreciate it.
Actually, his Créme beats it by $4 coming in at $69.
@@atldesigns I have to wonder how much of that is an attraction to style, and presentation.
I like Larry, and tolerate Matt, but these guys, and the like seem to be trying to glamorize the industry. Like some alternate reality where detailing isn't a dirty, laborious, tough task. In doing so, creating perception which is congruent to sales. Both of these guys were involved in some type of finance in a former life, and are using perception to market their wares. It is a genius endeavor, but who's the sucker here? When you're on a budget, or starting out a small scale business, or just taking care of the dd, guess what - everything you need is available at AutoZone. Directions are on the bottle, and they have hotline numbers people can call for assistance. It's not as mysterious as it's made out to be.
I love and use Rupes tools, but 8 out of 10 times I'm using a Porter Cable 7424, with Megs Ultimate or Mirror Glaze, and buff and shine pads. Nothing at all unique, or romantic about any of the stuff I'm using. Basic get the job done stuff.
Swirl city.
Wax is the only thing you can apply in a circular motion
Wax by nature will not scratch paint. The only way is if your applicator is dirty...
@@benchang8379 what? Compound and polish? Please tell me you’re joking
maybe he meant the paint was already swirled bad
Ive used all of these products before and while they do apply very similarly, that has very little to do with the value of a product. If you want ease of application just use optimum car wax. The point of Ammo skin is to provide protection, the point of adams buttery wax is to provide gloss/shine. There is no comparing the two, ive done it side by side on a panel of my own car and the adams product is gone in a few weeks while the Ammo Skin holds on for months. Not trying to bash this video but i do think the information in it is insufficient and not actually based on the performance of the products. You often get what you pay for, and Ammo Products are very good.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
I like write up. However I believe most people who really get into this are looking at how long the product protects the paint. However I like how al three were the same style wax.
ammo i a polymer-based coating and can't be compared to a normal wax
Martin Thomsen don't waste your breathe. He thinks AMMO is a butter wax. LOL.
They all are polymer based waxes/sealants. They all do a similar effect to the paint. The difference will probably be on how well those polymer chains hold together between washes. Maybe AMMO is more expensive for a good reason. I haven't tried it so I can't speak for it. This video tests nothing, most waxes will feel and look the same after wiping off the excess.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
Sorry dude but this is a complete waste of time
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
as are all his videos
DieselDan09 why a waste of time. You spent some time on it. Plus it’s really for Entertainment purposes. And a little fun
I think the fair comparison here is the Butter Wax products vs. AMMO Creme (AMMO's Carnauba wax).
Ammo Creme retails for $79 ($69 + $10 shipping).
I am using the Adam's Butter Wax which I got for $18 and free shipping. It is great. Not sure what the extra $61 of Creme would buy me other than ~3.5 more bottles of Adam's Butter wax.
Lol. Why would you apply in direct sunlight when instructions on either one of those bottles clearly instructs to apply on a cool shaded area?! 😂😂😂
i know I'm quite off topic but do anybody know of a good place to stream new movies online?
@Solomon Mohammad Lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Solomon Mohammad i would suggest FlixZone. Just google for it :)
After watching this video and having tried chemical guys and Adam's, their differences might be the longevity. I've not tried Ammo products yet but if there is a difference it would be the durability of the product.
As a former CG user, comparing to Adams. I’d say Adams works a little better
I actually love the CG products they just work for me. Never had the chance to get Ammo stuff, due to the fact that it’s basically impossible to get it in Germany
Ironic cause I think hes german
15 years ago when I had a show car we used Turtle Wax Ice and it was considered one of the best. When I bought my new Mustang and got back into the game last summer I did the research and bought all the fancy new products for crazy money including Adams, CG, and Wolfgang. They worked fine, but for the price I expected to be wowed by longevity and shine. This year I decided to give the old Ice a try, and honestly I've gotten more comments about shine and I know this stuff lasts months. There's a lot of hype around car products, but Meguiars and Turtle Wax aren't slouches just because they're sold at Walmart. The old timers will still shine a car, and their formulations have been tried and tested for decades.
amen
Pepsiaddicto I cannot agree with you more. Those Am I to go to companies. Turtle wax and Maguires can’t go wrong
Blue250 I back the turtle wax it’s not too bad I’ve used worst waxes so I’m happy
Man I still have an old bottle I won’t use lol. I loved that stuff too.
I honestly really like chemical guys but whatever everybody has there own thing🤷🏼♂️
I agree, but also this video is almost 2 years old so from what ive seen chemical guys has really changed their image from 2 years ago because it seems like almost everyone loves their products, including me haha
Turtlewax is a much better value right now tho, not only do they have better products but they are a lot cheaper. As of right now Turtlewax owns the game. If I want to pay extra money for products I go with Gyeon because Gyeon has quality products and that premium presentation that's actually worth paying for. Like you said everyone has their brand they are loyal to, but if we are talking facts turtlewax has the best car care products on the market right now.
@@_LEONKING_ I also like turtle wax products, actually im not really brand loyal at all. I have detailing products from chemical guys, turtle wax, meguiars, mothers etc.
Philip Koscica I’m like you.. I have a lot of CG products and they never let me down. I have em all, Turtle Wax, McGuires, Mother’s, etc... If New detailers feel they have to use Adams or any other overpriced product.. A good detailer buff a car with hand lotion and make it shine.. If it works... I use it...
I use chemical guys, but as you said, the expensive seems to be a waste of money. Not sure if one will out last the other, but as often as I wax my car, no matter.
I wanna see how well they bead the water after 2 months of driving and washing .
I'm no professional, but the point of AMMO Skin is to be layered with Reflex first. Reflex is the base layer which is designed to expand and contract with humidity and temperature with your paint. Skin is meant to go over that as a sealant that takes the brunt of the sun, rain, and dirt. It also says apply in straight lines. The real test is after you drive your car in a driving rain storm how it looks afterwards. I don't think these 3 products are the same. You are comparing an apple to 2 oranges.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
Auto Detailing Podcast I'll check it out right now! =)
research the products, Ammo for one big reason is more expensive because you are able to put on layers of it and for best results should be left on overnight. Ammo skin was also designed to be one of the toughest out there, Larry says in his videos that it wont give you the most shine but thats because he designed it to protect your car as its first and primary function. his other products like AMMO Reflex will give you that next level shine. You'll get your moneys worth out of it because like what Chow said AMMO Skin last 3-4 months while the other stuff will come off after a couple of washes
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
I love detailing my car. I use chemical guys and love their stuff. If I owned a more expensive car than I have I might buy a 80$ bottle of wax.
Then you’d just be wasting money. It’s a good product.
Or you can spend $18.00 on collinite 845 and buy the best liquid wax on the market.
Put on skin and put 845 over it.
Trueeee!!!! Metal wax is legit too!
Yup that ammo shit is overpriced.
this guy waxes
I've only ever used Maguire's product's, but I went to get some wax to replace the one I had ran out of and the store didn't have any in stock, so I grabbed what they did have which was a cg product, I was so impressed that I'm now a fan, I admit i dont have the kind of budget for a 75 dollars wax, but I take very good car of my car and care about how it looks and smells. So far I'm very happy with the Chemical guys products.
Just not a good test.....panel should have been buffed to get entire panel spotless for a fair starting point, should have taped off areas for different product, and should use manufacturer directions......AND as everyone else is saying, ammo lasts longer hence the price which is not captured at all here
Another question what does a finger swipe test tell you, how is this a comparison of cheap vs expensive when there are no real properties being evaluated except for a finger swipe test. Also, you say that Chemical Guys and Adams consider there products sealants, this is very interesting as I went on Adam's and Chemical Guys website and there is no mention of these product being a sealant. Also, Adams and Chemical Guys sell a true sealant which would be the proper product to compare to AMMO Skin.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
Granted, the test could be improved, ideally apply the product on three different cars and drive them around for a couple of months and then do a full test on each one with a view to:
Hardening characteristics;
Melting point;
Water repellency
Resistance to breakdown.
Having said that, I would love to hear from the pro-Ammo crowd what do they think justifies the almost 4 times price difference?
Ingredient costs? That would be a solid NO. You can put in all the hyper space polymer, virgin reaped waxes from the Mariana trench and you will still have a 900% mark-up. Adam's makes money on a $17 bottle, so how much more do you think Larry spends on his formulation?
Bottling costs? Ammo has probably more elaborate bottle and graphic colour, but come on:)
Placebo/Halo effect? Bingo. Larry (and good for him) created a brand over time and the automatic inference that since he is OCD nerdy squared about detailing his products must be the best as well. It is that illogical transference that allows him to charge as much for a bottle of bulk chemical cocktail as much as an average bottle of perfume (and the perfume industry rules the mark-up equation)
Good for him! Now go buy some Ammo products secure in the knowledge that you are washing your Mustang with the same brand Larry uses to detail a Ferrari 250 GTO.
With all that I wrote in mind, I did / and will continue to buy lots of Ammo products but I welcome comparisons with an open attitude. In the end, facts are facts.
I went with all ammo because I’m too lazy to research each product. I bought the whole ammo system and know it’ll work because, like you said, I watch Larry use it on multi-million dollar cars. His videos on applying each product also is a nice bonus for the OCD but too lazy to research. I’m in a weird boat because I never cared about detailing properly but now have a car I really value so I’m starting from an empty product shelf and need every product. With all of that said, you’re completely right.
was any product more glossy or "wetter" looking on the paint?
meguiars gold class is the best for me simply because it's really easy to wipe out and it leaves a lovely shine
How can you compare 2 waxes to AMMO which is a paint sealant
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
that ammo product isnt even in the same class as adams and CG wax. the ammo is a polymer based coating that adheres to the clear coatin a hard coat. the other two are literally wax that will last maybe a month or two and melt in extreme heat such in AZ and TX. youre comparing apples to steak here
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
i totaly agree with you bro
Lmao a month? Learn how to use a company's product. Lol
@@vidademikey9790 yes a month. clay and make sure everythings at a clean slate and parked out in the heat all day cuz you dont have a garage to park in and heavy road salt for 7months of the yr it last a month. even less in states where its 100degrees out often wax does not last it literally melts
2 are waxes. One is a polymer sealant.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
I used Adams Butter Wax and loved the stuff; easy one, easy off and a very good result. Now Ammo NYC Creme a paste wax is $69 / tin. I started using this vice Adams. IMHO it is superior. Harder to apply but gets you a great result. Adams is now my easy lazy option. I even layer them w Ammo paste as a base coat topped up w Adams if I feel like a quick session. No issue w CGs, seems some of the products work for me: some don’t. Good review 👍
That awkward moment when you stumble across this channel even though you've been listening to his podcast haha.
Hey now! Welcome!
You would need to leave the vehicle out in the weather for about a month or more then check the hood again before you can say that they all have the same results.
Yea very true. I could careless how they go on and how they wipe off. I want to see how well they stand up against elements. Good review though
That's my thought as well. Durability is much more important to me than application process.
No you wouldn’t
Brian Flowers label also says it cures within 3 minutes - hence why I waited 3 minutes to wipe off.
Auto Detailing Podcast 😄😄😄😄 ok mr detailer
I've used chemical guys for all sorts of products, found them to be very good. But I also use products from car pro, now those are excellent products. IMO. CG and Adams, probably sell tens of thousands of products, ammo probably a couple thousand, hence the higher price. There is one solution, if it's too expensive, don't buy it. A good test would be to check the car in a month, see which one lasts longer.
I think it’s similar too.
Let me bring you in so you can see them better. (Doesn’t pull camera in) lol.
Thanks for the comparison though
Ill take AMMOs product anyday of the week. 250K Barrett Jackson show cars would use 5K details with AMMO products.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
I own both the Ammo Nyc and the CG butter wet wax the butter wet wax is good for a quick shine but gone after a few washes I coated my integra and my buddies FD rx7 with the Ammo nyc and after a year of washes the Ammo product was still protecting doing its job.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
I get about a year of beading from AMMO washing my daily driver 5-10 times per month in a commercial car wash.
You're comparing ammo skin (polymer sealant) vs two carnuba based waxes. Thats not fair. You would have to use adams paint sealant and chemical guys v07 or black light.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
Nobody buys a wax or sealant based on how good a finger swipe it. Just stop making videos.
Myles Hejmanowski
😂
This guy seems like a joke. His responses verify he doesnt know what the ammo product is for.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
isnt better
I think your test would be more conclusive if you were to line 3 stripes down your car, apply each product to each section, then let you car stay exposed to the elements for at least 6 months, then you will see which one performs the best. Just applying the products doesn't determine anything. It's all about how the products protect or don't protect.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
Ammo skin lasts longer than anything I’ve tried. I also use the entire paint regiment of products, so it gets the best results.
You must not have much experience with better products.
I’ve used Meguiars, mother’s, turtle wax, all the cheap box store stuff. I think their paint soap has a lot to do with the longevity of the wax as well. Large manufacturers cut their products with salts to increase profit margins. The soap doesn’t remove the wax. Ammo products are more expensive, because they’re done in smaller batches and don’t use the harsh chemicals other companies add to increase profit
I didn't know chemical guys were one for the most hated?.
Its probably because of the douche in all/most of there videos. Not the product, but the guy that does the videos.
I was a long time AMMO purchaser, moved away from it to Adams for my own reasons.
@ Auto Detailing Podcast you should have done a beading test to see which beads better
Thanks!! I’ve learned quickly; pick a good brand, you get good customer service/support/delivery from, and go with it. Make it work for you! Nothing against experimenting with different brands, but you’ll soon have a shelf FULL of products $...that are all basically the same. Not necessarily ‘brand loyalty’, but just pick what you’re very satisfied with, and let it ride! There’ll ALWAYS be a newer/better mouse trap.$$$
LOL. You really can't compare products by doing this. What kind of detailer are you?
Ken Peng - why not?
sealant vs wax, that's why
Because you're not comparing apples to apples. And longevity is a huge part of the criteria in which any paint protectant should be judged. You can't put three on a trunk, touch it, and make a determination just like that.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
He's not a real detailer. Clearly doesn't understand how any of these products actually work. He's trying to get popular by bashing Larry and his products. It's like the most idiotic thing I've seen in a long time. Comparing wax by applying it and doing a finger swipe test. Zero science involved in anything. And this isn't me being an "AMMO Fanboy" because I own zero AMMO products.
Wow, maybe I’ve been living under a rock, but why are chemical guys the most hated?
they blast annoying ads, most of their stuff is exactly the same as one another, and a lot of it is overpriced, however I do like some of their stuff
Hope to see a longevity test. On the face of it they are all the same thing, give or take some insignificant differences.
Perhaps AMMO will last longer, help prevent scratching and have more UV inhibitors.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
You didnt do the testing correctly. Did you completely forget about the reliability and water beading portion of the waxes/sealants?
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
Literally the most important part of wax is paint protection, this hasn’t really proved anything about how effective the wax is at protecting the paint, I’d love to see all three applied with the method recommended, side by side on the same panel, and then some form of test (like water bearing or something) every few days to see the longevity of each product...
I have Adams , easy on easy off , nice results
I'm not huge on CG, but I used this on my black wrx. I gotta say it surprised me to the fullest. Great product.
How can you tell which one is stronger or stays on longer?
Could have been half the time, but thanks for the test...
You’re comparing a sealant vs a wax. Of course application is going to be different you noob.

I use Adam's undercarriage spray on everything from my lawn equipment, plastic storage containers to my vehicles.. it's really good. Works very well and makes faded plastic look new again. Not a wet look but a new look.
I get that people get annoyed with how many products chemical guys makes, but you don’t have to buy them all People!! Stick to the basics!! I think with chemical guys you get a solid product at a fair price usually, and their videos really make it easy to get into detailing. I’m sure there’s better products out there but I’m always happy with the results when I’m using CG stuff at home or on customers car. I detail Harley’s and cars/trucks on the side of my regular job. The prices I’d have to charge to use Adams or ammo would have me with no side cash.
Maybe it's in the longevity issue Jimbo, idk just saying
William Eaton - I doubt it...but I’m gonna do a video on that too
Auto Detailing Podcast i like Larry he puts out great videos but geez what detailed would use these high price products. These are for the retail customer who would believe price equals quality. And if his stuff isn't on retail shell how the hell do they stay in production?
William Eaton you will be surprised how many professional detailers actually use AMMO. But you do have a great point on the production.

Not a real test. Pitiful.

One is definitely a sealant though and way too much product. One lasts 6 months one lasts 2 weeks at most. The butter waxes are meant to simply give great shine but as for protection not really their what so ever. Ammo gives both good shine and protection. A more fair comparison would be Adams paitn sealant. Jet seal. Vs ammo skin

Best bet is to have a dedicated 4 x 4 ft glass with a black tint or some form of flat painted panel to do these testing off the sun. So the water shedding can be seen better
That scientific demo would yield the same results spending 5.00 on Turtle Wax..

Say 17 bucks one more time
17 bucks one more time...Happy?
Do it in the heat of the sun light. Well done
Any person who uses any one brand for all things detailing is either doing so for monitory reasons or not serious about providing the best results, I use a wide range of professional and consumer products from multiple different brands, from pads to chemicals the brand doesn’t matter the results do, great to see someone providing unbiased reviews on many different products.
Thanks
Keep doing these cheap vs. expensive videos! Some of us are too broke for AMMO 😂
why is chemical guys hated
Because adams nut huggers don't believe that their adams branded products are just CG with a different label.
@@bigaudiofanaticsoldchannel6162 you realize its the other way around right? chemical guys is hated because they are literally just a company that rebrands things. They dont invent anything unless you consider reverse engineer or call a company in china and ask for a different label. Look at when larry at ammo was releasing his ammo hydrate to use while drying, all of a sudden cg releases their "after wash". ive seen them accused time and time again of it and you can see it in the releases of their products and tools and yet their videos talk about how they painstakenly made it.......look at their polisher, their after wash, butter wet wax, c9, VRP (copied larry again), the "jetspeed" blower, their foam cannon that is just the mtm with their logo........almost everything you can find on their website is just rebranded
@@enzo1234069 Actually no I don't if you watch carefully, CG releases the product before someone like Adams does. Now I can't speak on AMMO's behalf but I will say I've had more issues with CG then I have AMMO so he's doing something to stay original.
@@bigaudiofanaticsoldchannel6162 I've seen a lot of things they had just released and it was direct copies and every time they talk in their videos about how they invented this and that and it's all bullshit. I've seen it. I could go through a long list of releases.
@@enzo1234069 I've seen that and the opposite. So I think it varies on the product.
I think we can all agree this test is inconclusive.

All the people who left negative comments use the 30 bucket method with 3 grit guards in each bucket, and they have to dry them with a $40 microfiber towel, don't forget they paid 60 $70 for the soap and about $40 for a little bit of clay, and now they're expert detailers cuz they read a bunch of garbage from fake detailers trying to sell them supplies on a forum. FORUM detailers are the worst
Ammo NYC Skin is considered to be more of a sealant than a wax. Ammo NYC Mousse is considered to be more of a wax and its a paste.
Scott Belkin but it’s not a sealant as the test proved. It’s a wax
How do you know which is a wax or sealant based on the steps you did?
computiNATEor if a product looks, smells and reacts like a similar product called a “wax” my opinion is it’s a wax regardless of what it says on the label
Ok, fair enough. What are your criteria for a product to be called a "sealant?"
computiNATEor - tbh I think sealants (and waxes) are a lot of hype and BS, for long term protection anyway, which is why I like user friendly spray waxes (or sealants) that are easy to apply, so you do it more often because it’s enjoyable.
As everyone else has explained. Ammo skin is a sealant which obviously isn’t classed as a wax compared to the other two product. The finger swiping test is near to pointless, and a durability test would be usless due to ammo easily winning. Not a good video, but your other videos are decent. So just more thought next time man

I noticed he added shipping costs to the AMMO product, but neglected to do so for the comparison brands.
My first container of B wax was the Chemical Guy product. While walking thru the big box discount store I saw the product the price might have been in the $12- range. The wax was easy to use and I was satisfied.
Like what sort of comparison is this supposed to be? You’re not even comparing beading, longevity, or gloss. You’re just swiping your finger across applied layers. What is your end goal here? This is trash.

Come on people, he's sponsored by Chemical Guys, he has amazon links to their products in plain site. Waiting for actual review........

I've used both AMMO Skin and Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax and can tell you that they are definitely not the same product by any means. AMMO Skin is a sealant that protects the finish for 6-7 months depending on the weather where you live. Butter wet wax might last 1-2 months, again, depending on where you live. I live in South Florida where the sun is absolutely brutal on anything applied to a vehicles finish. I've used both on my truck and those were my findings. When it comes to protection, Skin is the way to go between the two. Chemical Guys has a similar sealant called Jet Seal which is MUCH more comparable to AMMO Skin and costs about $40 a bottle. Jet Seal lasted just as long if not longer than AMMO skin. You can't compare apples to oranges and expect the same results.
Ammo Skin is not a butter wax, it's a polymer sealant designed as your base layer of protection and can be additionally topped with a wax. All you did was test the application... Just trying to put down Larry's product I guess, or you just don't know anything. FYI; I don't own any AMMO products because they are pretty pricey, but this test is nonsensical.

I see swirls swirls are everywhere 🥴
AMMO products has always been a little pricey for what it is. Shit's all looks the same..
Thanks, Jimbo. Saved me money. Back to Adam's.
I think people will buy the expensive ones to feel like they are real auto detailers. In the end if it works it works and if you can save money on the product to increase your profit then buy the cheap one. Do You think McDonald’s or Burger King have the best quality of beef? Not a chance in hell, they just want to make a profit as I would. In the end it’s all about the money.
All three were done on a clayed surface. How many average car guys was a clayed surface?
AMMO NYC is most respected according to who?
And Chemical Guys mostly hated according to who?
AMMO is overpriced and overrated.
Chemical Guys make some good stuff for cheap. Got a friend who started his detailing company with their products and though he uses other products, he still uses some CG stuff.
Great video, thanks! 👍🏼
according to the majority of members in professional detailing group.
@No you It is pretty darn expensive, but I still rather buy ammo skin then, lets say CG jet seal that cost $40+ and doesn't meet even half of Skin performance.
@No you they are both sealant....
@No you tried plenty of other CG products from their garbage V line polish to soap.
Your assumption is cute.
hahaha mad based on me telling you I tried plenty of other CG products?
sounds like fucking dumbass, but you think most people don't use sealant so ...oh well
why argue with someone who doens't know anything about detailing
calling ammo nyc as luxury brand, how cute xD
Jimbo...c'mon man. Show the label for AMMO. It's an entirely different product.
Here's an update just for you! ruclips.net/video/2kFkxCvQmoY/видео.html
most brands of products leave the same result right away... durability tests for 3, 6, 9 and even 12 months need to be shown for an accurate judgement...
I understand that you may be running out of video ideas but this is not very helpful but still respected the vid
