I picked a 5l autosmart aqua seal pro few years back for my work van im in for 99% of my time, 30ml to 470ml water in snowfoam cannon leave a few mins, rinse and towel dry off. Lasts at least 6 weeks every day driving with lots of country roads. Have way over half left. If this product is as good as that and lasts longer its a winner
Good info John they are the ultimate trade supplier for old school car dealers garages and body shops so terms are still 1980s makes you feel warm inside but products work always a good fall back
Not sold as a detailer but synthetic spray wax by ADBL is about 40 bucks for 5 Liter but it’s highly concentrated and you can dilute it down to 1:5 or even 1:10 and it’s still effective. It can also be used in many different ways. As a stand alone sealant, topper on existing coatings, drying aid/quick detailer and even as a wet coating. It’s also one of the most hydrophobic sealants I’ve ever used. Highly recommend you try it out if you can get your hands on it.
they dont have reliable distribution in the UK last time someone mentioned this product a few months back I looked for it but it was out of stock. I check now and ADBL UK still dont have it in stock in any size. All the previous Polish brands in the UK are folding and withdrawing from the UK. Ive said this before. We are 5000000% over saturated with detailing brands. ADBL have no social media presence or drive, no marketing here in the UK, none of the online distributors we all ship through (cyc, in2d, c&s, UF, PB etc) have picked up the brand. Im a persistent guy I will keep an eye out for it but its just hard to test this stuff when its not available and I cant buy it when shopping for other stuff so I have to pay shipping for just one thing.
@ all good Jon, as much as I’d love to see their products extensively tested I know that they’re not as widely available. It’s the same for Bilt Hamber outside of the UK (I just had to pay 50€ for 5L of touchless). My comment was more of a suggestion towards other viewers since we're coming from all over Europe and the world. 👍🏻
@@MegaFregel yer dont get me wrong when I read your comment I was like. Ok ill grab some of this as its been mentioned before. But when I then go googling and its out of stock from ADBL as the distributor themselves it just makes me go grrrrr because Ive wasted my time again.
We use Autosmart Cobalt+ to top up our showroom stock. Also in our valet bay's arsenal, we have 'Cherry Glaze', their pink PDI quick wax that we use on new cars fresh from the factory. And for preparing used stock or valeting service-customers' cars we use 'Platinum', my personal favourite 'AIO'. All these products are fantastic. They do what they are supposed to do, efficiently and effectively. Nothing more, nothing less.
I really like most Autosmart products, they cant be beaten on price. Rapid Glaze is very impressive in my opinion but you forgot to mention also how good it smells ! I am also a big fan of Alien Magic, premium products but more expensive !
Ive been using this for a few months since it came out and its very good. The gloss it leaves is superb. Whilst the initial beading isnt the tightest ive ever seen, its actually quite durable. How could you not mention the devine sherbet peach/lemon fragrance!
Have a look at AutoPerfekt QD Jon if you’re doing a mega test. Bit like Bouncers D&D (the original green one) but slightly better looks slightly easier to use and much less prone to streaking which Bouncers could. Beads for around 3-4 weeks stand alone so it’s a nice QD for tidying panels without leaving loads of protection behind that lasts months
Hi bought some of this after watching your video, I am going to machine polish with Menzerna 3 in 1 do you think it will go on top of that ok Regards brian
I would guess yes no problem mate. start by a spritz into the cloth only then buff the panel. then you can try adding more on the panel next time or using wet as a drying aid.
@ hi John , thanks for that , it turns out the guy has no stock and has had to refund me, what do you recommend as being the best out there at the moment.
im sort of thinking a satin dull gold centre instead of the bronze and then powder coat the inside and bare metal the lip (OEM). The bronze paint is like bubbling up. problem is they are splits and none of the furbers want to split them so might have to split them myself which will be pain in the aris.
says 49 dollars (reduced to 39$) for 1 gallon on their site www.primesolutionsproducts.com/product-page/ceramic-sealant-gallon-concentrate?srsltid=AfmBOorduIBRuImy8xIDZ-5_E48MWLy0gBOafcR6aIRdLf2Y9lCHIQxb
Jon, I hope you’ve had a good one so far 🙂 I’ve been using Koch Chemie PW for the last couple of years and very happy with it. Is this a better product? All the best for 2025
PW is a spray and rinse mate. this is a QD. PW offers outstanding value because of its high concentration mate as a trade rinse wax its hard to beat. but this is basically a very affordable ceramic detail spray. I like it. the film it leaves on the car is glossy and does last well. dont use too much and you cant go wrong. I like this stuff mate.
yer I like this for value. but IIRC its a spray and rinse. Koch do have some high value stuff though im guessing they do like 10 litres of QD for not a lot of money.
Have waxes seen there days now that there are so many rinse aids / QD type products that leave such a nice shine/protection? Been using polar seal at the end of each wash for years as its so so cheap, I've had 1 bottle for that entire period.. Every time the car looks amazing and beads for weeks after.. I only really get the wax products out now when i fancy spending a bit more time on the car, but general just for the fun of it rather than for much in the wax of extra shine or protection.
John, if you were buffing black paint with heavy swirls and some decent scratches. With a DA polisher what one cut compound would you choose. Thank. Ps it on gm paint
Hi Jon , in your opinion what’s the difference between a Glaze and a Sealant ? The cheapest Detailer here in the U.S. is between Meguairs and Chemical Guys👍👍
new to the brand. Autosmart has a pretty confusing line-up of ceramic spray sealants... "Cobalt+ SiO2 Ionic Nano spray" "Matrix Recharge+ Ceramic spray" "Rapid Glaze+ Ceramic SiO2 Advanced spray" ...how are they different? The description for each doesn't specify any durability/longevity other than all being "highly durable"
I think Cobalt+ si02 is more spray sealant. This is more QD. But yer matrix sort of looks a bit like either. Agree durability guestimates would be nice.
Rapid Glaze is like the new improved version of Cobalt. For some reason Autosmart have kept Cobalt in the line up for the moment but i see it being discontinued down the line. Matrix Recharge is the topper for the Matrix 3 and 8 year ceramics and can also be used as a stand alone SiO2 sealant.
Matrix recharge is used for cars that have been ceramic coated using matrix blue or black. I use Autosmart on a daily basis and I’m accredited with matrix. Try aquaseal pro. awesome product.
It's a sheeeter! Quite literally. The panel ended up more of less dry with the sheeting effect pulling all the water off the wing. Nice finish too. Nice!
yer the panel was totally dead prior to application. but I think if you apply it ontop of a sealant it might boost. but I will test it in group test on polish prep'd and panel wipes test panel so we get a proper comparison. but does not look very hydrophobic, so maybe not a bead monster.
@ForensicDetailing I guess not everything needs to be a bead monster (I appreciate thee beadiest) a sheeter has its place too. Don't forget sheeters tend to leave less waterspots! I'm sure it has its place!
Looks like a great value product, would be interesting to see the durability. There are two categories for me: 1) True quick detailer that I can use as a drying aid, wiping off some dribbles from the wing mirror etc. I just want it to be slick, boost gloss slightly (maybe) and be cheap. 2) Ceramic spray sealant that I can use for 6 months - 1 year of protection (depending on conditions). Again be usable as a drying aid to save having to dry the car THEN apply the sealant. Must also have good gloss and hydrophobics. Ideally a product would have the durability, gloss and hydrophobics of (2) but the price of (1) haha.
yer but 2) isnt really a QD as such. but you get ceramic QD that can maybe do 1-3 months and might fall into the 2) catagory a bit. This product is defo a 1) catagory.
FSE is more a scalar with PDMS. Is it better than finale. Its slicker but I cant remember what the protective side of finale is like. but we will learn a bit more about this when I do the QD test soon hopefully mate. IVe used it a few times and it seems very good.
not really a QD mate. but I think gyeon QD is 52£ 4L (so > 60 for 5L) gyeon ceramic QD 25 quid per litre. dont know if you can get bulk ceramic QD in UK. but gives a means to compare.
@@jonnyb4271 Im not sure I could guess that it might not be great. But for me with a QD this isnt too important. But I will build up a cool line up for stuff and do a big QD shoot out Q1 2025.
I dont know mate. In simple terms yes they both ceramic QD. But like beyond that. AutoSmart product is about half the price. but I would guess on the things you can measure, like beading gloss durability etc... I would guess the Armour would perform better.
I have been using Aqua seal Pro by Auto Smart, you apply it with a foam gun & it “fizzes” away then dry with a microfibre towel, I’m impressed with it but would be good to see what you think of it,
@@ForensicDetailing You didn't spray it directly onto the windscreen but at 08:09 and at 9:20 you wipe it from the roof onto the windscreen, so presumably it is now coating your windscreen. No apologies needed, please note my winking smiley, but wondering if it smears now? That's the trouble with these sprays that cannot be used on certain parts though. Thanks.
fair play. I didnt see any issues after this. I think if you spray this on the glass you might get some like smeary stuff going on, specially in the cold wet winter months.
Good review I’ve used a fair few of there products and have always had good results,makes a big difference on the price of stuff when your doing it everyday ,but still need to get good results for the paying customers.
In your collection from Bahnstorm video he'd said its had been stage one machine polished and ceramic coated... but your post wash showed zero hydrophobic behaviour... Odd... 🤔
The array of Autosmart's spray sealants, waxes, paint polishes and quick detailers is bewildering. Mark Venning, our long-serving local Exeter rep, is a great guy, who showed us the different characteristics of each product, and the product training session took more than half a day! Therefore, we ended up choosing the most suitable products for each general valeting task required. No self-employed valeter likes being over-stocked!
Hey Jon, looks like a good product. However have just seen the you can buy turtle wax seal and shine in 5L for for £23! That has to be the best value spray and rinse/drying aid out there !
I can see the local scratch and shines using this as part of one of their packages.. yes diy detail is a prime example of marketing hype with crazy high prices that unfortunately some enthusiasts fall for!
I didnt think we would get higher than 30 quid for 500 ml QD. but someone found this at 54 quid for 250ml. (its on offer at that price as well). www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/products/no-9-kmkz-quick-detailer.aspx
You can't beat AutoSmart, Cobalt is a winner for me and has been for many years, so I'm looking forward to trying this one. I think calling it Rapid Glaze isn't confusing at all, people who know AutoSmart know what they're about, and if you don't.........🙄
maybe yer maybe Im over thinking the name thing but dunno Ive just seen these dramas before where things become things because of words like this.. but yer no biggy.
I think the name Rapid Glaze is to pay homage to the old Re-Glaze quick detailer they used to sell back in the mid 00s. Anybody thats been a long time user of Autosmart has fond memories of Re-Glaze. I believe it was one of, if not the first Quick detailers manufactured by a UK company. If you like Cobalt, you'll love Rapid Glaze as its like a supercharged version.
Really great to see you reviewing Autosmart products John, there’s a real snobbery within the detailing community towards the brand. Too many detailers have made an effort to create a distance between themselves and the bog standard valeter, who typically uses AS products. As a weekend warrior it’s fun getting the nice smelling and brightly packaged products, but when it comes to making money from cleaning cars it’s hard to see past AS. I’d say between them, and Bilt Hamber, you don’t really need another brand. I’d like to see you review their Aquaseal pro. I think it’s the best SIO2 sealant that can be applied through the foam lance👍
Malco showroom shine spray wax is my favorite quick detailer. You can pick up 5 gallons for $70! You can get a gallon for $28. And lastly a 22oz for $16! Very economical and easy to use. I love it. Doesn’t leave any durable protection behind. Malco is big on supplying body shops and professional detailers, unfortunately not available on consumer shelves.
decent shout mate its about 20.40 for 3.7 litres so about £27.50 for 5 litres translated. this is a ceramic detailer but fair play thats good value as well isnt it.
@ Yea…not a ceramic detailer unfortunately. But it’s the one I always go to. One of the most expensive ones I’ve used is DIY’s Ceramic gloss. Love the smell of that one.
Why are the British detailers better to watch than the Yanks? Is it because they won't push their mum under a bus to make money? They tell the truth? American attitude "everyone for themselves"
not sure we are better mate. Most UK detailing channels are dying off now theres not many doing it over here. And I think USA viewers dont generally receive UK channels to well. Much easier to do you tube in the USA, the audience pool is vast and receptive. Review meguiars, CG, TW etc... and do millions of views.
Ran my whole business on their gear back in 1994, always good & effective in its day. Now I use everything you suggest 😂

I’d like to see you review their Aquaseal pro. I think it’s the best SIO2 sealant that can be applied through the foam lance👍
decant this into a Swizzvax bottle and you will be fine :)
@@ForensicDetailing 😂👍🏻
Malco showroom shine spray wax is my favorite quick detailer. You can pick up 5 gallons for $70! You can get a gallon for $28. And lastly a 22oz for $16! Very economical and easy to use. I love it. Doesn’t leave any durable protection behind. Malco is big on supplying body shops and professional detailers, unfortunately not available on consumer shelves.
decent shout mate its about 20.40 for 3.7 litres so about £27.50 for 5 litres translated. this is a ceramic detailer but fair play thats good value as well isnt it.
@ Yea…not a ceramic detailer unfortunately. But it’s the one I always go to. One of the most expensive ones I’ve used is DIY’s Ceramic gloss. Love the smell of that one.
The Autosmart USA website sells directly. Unfortunately they charge $100 USD for a gallon.
holy cow.
First 👌
boom :)
@ForensicDetailing How's things bud?
At last a company that warns you against spraying a ceramic onto you windscreen - done once, never again!
autoglym does too with polar seal
First❤
darry beat you by 14 seconds. I'll be montoring your performance going forward but I need to see better reactions in the future! :)
@@ForensicDetailingLol😂 thanks mate love the channel ❤
ghost from ez car care??
Why are the British detailers better to watch than the Yanks?
Is it because they won't push their mum under a bus to make money?
They tell the truth?
American attitude "everyone for themselves"
not sure we are better mate. Most UK detailing channels are dying off now theres not many doing it over here. And I think USA viewers dont generally receive UK channels to well. Much easier to do you tube in the USA, the audience pool is vast and receptive. Review meguiars, CG, TW etc... and do millions of views.
@@ForensicDetailingI'd rather watch the British channels over the USA channels.
