I had mine on the shelf I used to use it 34 times a year gray product Martin you just made me go back to it thank you very much for your videos Pete from New York
Hi,not heard of this product as iam fairly new to detailing,but what a shine I will have to hunt some down,you always make washing/ polishing cars look easy,keep up the good work and look forward to seeing how the new products work out have a good weekend ☕🍰
Another cracking video, I just love hearing your honest opinion on everything! In my opinion, product you really enjoy using will always be better on your shelf that something that yields great results but is an absolute pain in the arse to apply!! I've yet to try this particular one but I'm definitely tempted after watching this 👍🏼😃
Cheers Mark. The only way I can make videos is to just give my opinion and if you are looking for a new protection y to I try then you won’t go far wrong with power lock. It’s been around for years and stood the test of time. How many really good products are sitting on your shelf but we still chase new ones. Only in car detailing 🤷♂️
G'day Martin i like that shaking motion you have nice technique! 😁 I put a nice dollop of this on headlights every couple months to minimize the UV clear coat failure.
Fantastic work Martin. You are right about car products. Some of us are quite fickle and keep buying the latest "best" product on the market and reside our tried and tested products to the back of the cupboard. Good on you for using this one today. If you want to try a slickness providing product I'd recommend Maxolen Perfect Pearl to you. Great on its own or perfect as a basis for a decent wax like Collinite 915.
You're completely right about going back to the older, established products Martin. I stop myself these days from buying new waxes for example, as they always disappoint and I end up returning to Collinite 845. I've got some Menzerna myself which I'm going to pair up with the Collinite in the summer. Keep up the good work
I just found this in a cupboard tonight in the garage and can't remember what I used it on. Going to give this a go on my truck tomorrow. I clayed it a while back and just used spray on ceramic detailers so looking to add real protection. Need to machine polish the paint (badly) but this looks quick and easy to apply thanks!
It is very true. We have all the products that are excellent and really impressed us when we got them but are easily forgotten when we get distracted by the latest game changer when generally doesn’t change any game! If it was superb last year, it still will be today. It’s half the fun though trying new things especially the LSP’s.
Hi Martin, got me a 250ml bottle from The Polishing Shop for £10.95 after watching this. Used it today for the first time and wow!!! I had high expectations after your video but this is one of the best products I've ever used. So easy on and off, but the gloss and slickness are off the chart!! I can't believe I've never heard of this before. Thanks for introducing me to my new favourite product. If anyone hasn't tried this, I strongly suggest you do.
Hi Mark, I just love it when a plan comes together. This is what makes me do RUclips. It’s such a great feeling when the videos help others. Thanks for the feedback 👍👍👍👍
Martin, I've used this for years and before I watch your video, you'll find this the slickest and easist product to use on the market. It's no ceramic, but application is perfect!
Your the same as me, always state do not wash my car…and my Wife thinks I’m the only person that doesn’t have the garage wash their car. Great review thanks Martin 😀😀
I’ve not got that one and haven’t used a liquid wax type product in a while, you’ve got me tempted to have a lurk around the back of the shelves and see what old gems I can find now though 😂
ah see, you feel guilty now. all those products you've been buying to play with and you have a shelf full of forgotten gems, that makes the video worth doing👍

@@ObsessiveCarDetailer ye. But last week car got a service and they wahed it too. The amount of white water deposit and all the protection washed away too. I gave it a quick wash and rinse off protection .till i can get it done proper
Hi Martin I know you can't get Bowden's products in the UK but they have a product called fully slick that works as well as this and love the videos keep them up.
I seem to have missed this offering from you a year ago but I am glad you mentioned this in your Waxstock video and as such I have added this product to my wish list but please don't tell John@M&K. I have been using Seal lately and am loving it again after a period of not using it. It brought up my red Civic with Jordyn on it with a shine that I think will be hard to beat.
I’m not going to say this will beat anything John produces but I just love buffing it off and it is a quality product. Let’s hope John didn’t read this🤣. Do you know if he’s interested in doing Waxstock in future years
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer I'm not sure but I have mentioned it to him & I did ask him to come to this years event as a punter. Maybe if you asked him the question he may consider it or give you his reasons for not doing it. Was the show quieter this year on the Sunday or did you just attend Saturday. I heard from DM Automative (RUclips) it had been quieter this year. We were communicating on the fact that the show was not further North or even that we had nothing like it in Scotland. I have put the date in my Diary for next year and should be a bit more on the ball for a trip South with some of our local RUclips content makers.

A big investment that you would want to see covered
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer I guess the cost of living crisis is beginning to bite and luxury items like car cleaning chemicals are maybe not top priority for family's maybe it will have to tag on another show in the future if it is to continue. Maybe you could drop me a line if you get a reply so I don't put my foot in it when I see him next. I look forward to your content on the Water Spot Remover as I have two different bottles one for a glass cleaning procedure that Heather@Auto Care HQ preached and the Gyeon one I bought for my JCW that I had coated then promptly sold after I had put an order in for £200 of chemicals from Gyeon. I am never really sure what or when to use or how so I wait eagerly.
@@johnbrown3951 I messaged John on Instagram last night and it seems as though he is considering waxstock next year. Taking four days out of the business is one of his main concerns
Another great video and product review. Definitely worth a look instead of me using Autoglym HD wax when it runs out. One small piece of advice from a youngster, DONT bite the hand that feeds you 🤣🤣 You may regret saying its just a chocolate biscuit.... until next time take care Martin 👍👍
@@paulquickmire4140 Ive been married for 47 years and Im still learning to agree, listen, know my place and keep my head down but she does make exceeding good cakes🤣
Can't beat going back to the old stuff. I think super longevity products takes away the more regular enjoyment, imo ultimately the finish is determined by the prep prior, but I'd rather bang a silky wax on every month or two than go the ceramic route.
I fell asleep then woke up to.. watching a silly old git! 🤣 only joking Martin always watch your videos all the way through keep up the good work 👍 old products are sometimes the best ones to work with, too many companies and too many products for the same thing does make it easy anymore
Another excellent video Martin. I would be interested to see your paint correction methods.as i have never done any but have a new unused DA8 machine waiting for the inevitable need. Only let the Mercedes dealership clean mine once ( a few years ago ) and they made a real mess of it !!.
yep, it blows my mind Alan, top quality dealerships like Audi, BMW or Mercedes you would think put a little thought into detailing customer cars but it seems that they just let anyone loose on them. Jon on the Forensic channel has a couple of "how to" videos on paint correction. Check them out and just have a go, its very unlikely you will do any damage if you follow his advice. I would say paint correction is still an area that Im still learning to be comfortable to say Im any good at it
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Trouble is Martin is that they are not detailers, they are generic valeters or car washers. It looked like they has just blasted mine with a pressure washer & left it and there were dried on water marks everywhere. They took a serious amount of work to remove & on top of that they had altered every bloody setting in the car which is against their protocol.

Great video Martin , hav'nt tried the Power Lock yet , just used Gyeon can coat Evo on top of my ceramic coating, my shoulders are getting to bad for any long periods of buffing . hopefully getting surgery in a few months ( was meant to have it 2 years ago but covid put pay to that) Have you managed to get your pressure washer hose sorted yet ? All the best :)
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer In un altro video su You tube, è stato detto che Power Lock + collinite 845 non sono compatibili e creano problemi, macchie sulla vernice, come se' collinite si staccasse. Quando dura la protezione di Power Lock?
@@mabo8395 I have used powerlock & 845 as a combo many, many times and never had any issues. I have also used them by themselves and again absolutely no issues at all
Just picked some of this up to try, might do a bit of a sealant durability experiment with a few different ones, shame there was no home baking & coffee for you mate, was the good lady away for the day? With your car? 😅
Hello mate, that sounds like a good topic. Not sure what the longevity is but for you & me its not really an issue I guess. Its only when the manufacturer makes false claims that get my back up. As for the cakes, the grandchildren got to them first🤷♂
Looks like a great product to try Martin, good to see older products can compete with the latest!But drinking tea and a chocolate biscuit? No coffee or cake after making her car look so good? Honestly! 🤨
Yes agree with you I love getting my hands on a new polish wax or sealant and trying it.But have sinned!!!! I have graphene ceramic coated my paint work but I cannot wax on it any more 😭
Hi Mark, depends on how you measure success really. I think as far as slickness is concerned, Power lock is every bit as slick & for me that is important as it encourages sheeting & that in turn encourages the dirt to sheet off. I cant comment on longevity but for me thats not as important if you keep the car clean. Longevity is only important if you seldom clean the car or if you buy a product that falsely states a time period. As for application, I think Power Lock is a better experience. So not often you hear me say it but if I was to choose then I would probably go for Power Lock but that is only my personal preference. any help??
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer thanks Martin for your in-depth reply. I have the Garage Therapy product and like it for it’s quick and easy to apply but I did find last summer when I started to use it I did find the longevity go off quicker than the bottle says but that isn’t a problem for me as I always top up with sigma. But I’ve just ordered a bottle of the menzerna to give it a go.
Hi Martin, will it mask a wax (Soft99 Super Splash) and degrade its beading/sheeting abilities? I'm going to wax my Audi tomorrow and wondering if it's a good idea to top it with the Mezerna🤔 Regards from Amsterdam
Hello Dennis, I would do it the other way round mate. Apply the menzerna with the wax on top. The sealant is likely to last a little longer than a wax. The sealant should bond with the paint to give a better performance. If you apply it on top of a wax then it will only last as long as the wax. So for me I would apply the menzerna and ideally leave it for 4 to 6 hours before topping it with a wax. Hope that is of some help
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer ok, thank you. I always thought that a glaze/detailer etc would enhance the lifespan of a wax since it acts as a sacrificial layer? Plus the Soft99 Super Splash isn't a classic carnauba wax, it's a hybrid containing synthetic and carnauba components giving it considerably longer endurance/lifespan... Probably I should use Meguiars Ultimate Polish and after that the Soft99 and finish? Probably I should
@@High-Performance-IQ I totally agree with you Dennis about adding a sacrificial layer, I do that all the time. My point is that using menzerna as the sacrificial layer may mean you won't get the best use of it that way. It will work and look great but my preference would be to use it as a base layer
@@algray9966 Hi Al, P&S BeadMaker is a really nice product but Bouncers DDSi & Garage Therapy Sigma are both superior products as far as Im concerned. With both having superior longevity and slicker. Depending on how often you clean the car most sealants are good in winter. I like to use spay on rinse off sealants in the cold as it takes half the time and the sealant gets everywhere but they need to be used on a regular basis as they only last a few weeks. I don't think you can go far wrong with Menzerna. Garage Therapy have a nice product called Three Ceramic Sealant that can last between 3 to 6 months depending on driving conditions and cleaning maintenance. Soft99 make a number of really great waxes that easily last 6 months. Hope that helps & I cover both GT & Soft99 products on the channel so check out the videos and any issues just drop me a comment and I will always get back to you. Happy detailing
No this one’s a keeper. I only throw protection products in the bin if they make longevity claims that are untrue & this just says long lasting. That works for me as I keep the car well maintained & what a pleasure to apply 👍

@@algray9966 Hi Al, P&S BeadMaker is a really nice product but Bouncers DDSi & Garage Therapy Sigma are both superior products as far as Im concerned. With both having superior longevity and slicker. Depending on how often you clean the car most sealants are good in winter. I like to use spay on rinse off sealants in the cold as it takes half the time and the sealant gets everywhere but they need to be used on a regular basis as they only last a few weeks. I don't think you can go far wrong with Menzerna. Garage Therapy have a nice product called Three Ceramic Sealant that can last between 3 to 6 months depending on driving conditions and cleaning maintenance. Soft99 make a number of really great waxes that easily last 6 months. Hope that helps & I cover both GT & Soft99 products on the channel so check out the videos and any issues just drop me a comment and I will always get back to you. Happy detailing
I must say Martin I'm not a lover of red cars but that did look banging what was the product called I will look that one up
there is a link under the video Alan
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer cheers mate I'll check that out
@@alandonnelly9788 if you want to try something different, I promise you won't be disappointed Alan
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer I've found it & its a great price think I'll be opening the moth wallet again thanks 2 u mate 👍
@@alandonnelly9788 don't blame me, your just weak🤣🤣🤣 but just think of how silky the car will be
Would you consider putting 2 sigma on top as the sacrificial coat or is that just a matter of a waste of time??
not immediately Paul but maybe after the next wash
It won’t last. Might go in the bin!
No this one’s a keeper. I only throw protection products in the bin if they make longevity claims that are untrue & this just says long lasting. That works for me as I keep the car well maintained & what a pleasure to apply 👍
