This was great to watch. I've been using the Turtle Wax "To The Max Wax" for 2 years now. It does so well. I maintain it with their flex wax and it just holds up so well. After 8 months, I cleared off the paint, light polish to clear some embedded containments, and re applied. I have found it easier to remove on a humid day. The wet rag really did it's job and it buffed ever so nicely on a warmer humid day.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video for our benefit, Jon.
Thanks for taking the time to review and share your thoughts and opinions!
AF for the win! First time i see a "best of" from you with Bilt Hamber not winning 😅
Keep the great work ;)
As always Jon amazing. A lot of work put into these videos I am shaw and I very much appreciate it. James
Even though they make no money, I simply love your comparison/shoot out videos. 😊
I love how you crack yourself up. Great information, thank you for doing these tests 🙏
I'm glad the Turtle Wax did well. I took a punt on it in Halfrauds a few months back when I had some vouchers to use up.
Based on my own experience vs other sealants I've used, I'd score it higher for application cos it's less likely to smear than others (more noticeable on black paint) and seems a lot more forgiving.
I agree with the durability tho. Best product I've ever used in terms of still beading several weeks after being washed and it even keeps the car cleaner for longer as a lot of the dirt washes off when it rains.
Expensive but worth it...
I use Collinite on my classic car and use 2 coats at the start of summer and it’s just an awesome old product for an old car! 😂😂 Great video Jon 👍🏼
The best for me is one that takes less time & is cost effective for the effort used to apply - it then gets used more often.
Mcguires ceramic pro is my go to in our cold rainy climate of the Pacific Northwest. Some of the products here are great but they don't meet my requirements. Chem Guys ceramic wash and M27 is my go to - thanks for the great video.
Great to see a big comparison Jon - it’s a big part of the channel’s appeal. You could tell there was a lot of info to get across so well done, good overlay shots. Surprised there wasn’t marks for the bottles….? Not really a user of liquid waxes but of those i’d go Bilt Hamber - EZ Nardo cream wax is a top top product. Not durable but lovely to apply and buff with great beadage 👌
The best wax and sealant I have ever used was “Blue Coral” on a aunt’s 1963 Buick Special in 1985. It turn heads. It wasn’t easy but it sure looked great. Thanks for the video!
Very happy to see the performance of Fusso F7 in your test Jon. An additional plus for me, is a topper within the Soft99 range to enhance the performance & durability. Had it on my Japanese paint work for 3 months & all good so far...
I have missed these videos ❤
I have experience with two, the Jescar and Collinite. Glad my predictions were close. I knew, with a fair amount of confidence that Jescar would fair well if not best in durability. It lasted 6 months for me with minimal care through last winter season. I also knew the Collinute would fair bad in application. There are nearly endless threads out there on forums with subject lines like "how to apply Collinite" then a few lines below that "how to apply collonite waxes". You can read both, and see two people with two completely different experiences and tips. Sometumes contradicting one another. I will say this. The end result is worth the struggle. But never before have I worked with products that are influenced by weather as much as Collinite. Humidity means leaving it on uncomfortably long sometimes and you get nervous because you remember the last time you used it, it was cooler and dryer, and if you left it on that long then you would be cursing yourself with the removal. Be careful with their products, but once you figure it out, well, I can see why it has been around as long as it has been and hasn't changed much. It works. And it works well.
I need to watch more of these now, as im fast becoming the car detailing expert at my new job at Halfords 😅
I left that Hydra wax in the car a couple of nights ago, the next morning I went to use it it was mostly solid inside. Definitely a temperature sensitive product. Needs to be put in hot water after that! Also much better on a machine application as it is quite thick.
I used to love EGP 15 years ago. Can't believe it's not been improved on or even retired!
Thanks, enjoyed that. Surprised by Fusso F7 on the durability test, had that down as my winner.
Just thought I'd throw in an interesting curveball here. If the test was based on product performance alone, ignoring costs, the results are as follows...
1, Autofinesse
2, Turtlewax
3, Jescar
4, Meguiars
5, Collenite
6, Bilt Hamber & Adams
7, Chemical Guys & Fusso F7
8, Autoglym
Nice informative video.
One can determine from your test that some products may be good for people who maintain their vehicles on a regular basis , where the durability might suffer but the ease of use and gloss make it an ideal choice for regular use.
Other products like the jescar offer long term protection if you are at a loss for time or just want a product you can apply less frequently.
I haven’t tried the new jescar yet , but I do use the powerlock plus with collinite as a topper.
After applying the jescar allow it to cure a couple hours before applying the collinite.
It would be interesting to see how you get on with that combination.
Holy hell, the Chemical Guys has that much markup internationally?! I have used it personally and professionally, and was totally satisfied with the results, but that's just absurd. I paid $30 American for a bottle and I thought that was a stretch!
Great vid John. Would be great to get a ceramic foam or foam sealant Comparison it would be the first on RUclips. Same thing with a pre wash/ tfr sprays
I agree.
Nice to see the autofinesse win. It is a great product to apply and buff off and leaves the car looking really good
Great video as always, I’d love to see IW turbo 6 and tcut 3in1 colour fast in one of your comparison tests I’ve had great results with both
Great video, would of loved to see megs ultimate liquid wax in there instead of the megs tested.
Would. Love to see a stand alone review on the fusso f7 compared against the paste version and some other control wax as there don't seem to be many about (fusso f7).
Got to admit, I'm a Fusso fan. 3rd will do, but it's the paste for me, with the Fusso top up. Always enjoy your videos, as much for the entertainment as the knowledge. Keep em coming 👍
How is the wipe off with soft99 paste?
@@jamesdavies686
It takes a little time, but it's easy. When it goes white enjoy the polishing. Do not apply to the whole car then polish, just a panel at a time.
I'll be reapplying soon although topping up with Speed and Barrier does push that date back a bit
My experience with the Turtle wax Max is very good. Easy to apply beads well keeps the car clean has excellent gloss and easy to buff on a humid day. I would rate it one or two.
I learned a lot. Thank you.
Hi John I might be a bit late but I loved this video and bought the Turtle Wax after it before seeing your personnal preferences and had a hard time buffing it off. I'm French Canadian so I read the instruction in French the first time and did exactly what they said to do. Then I watched your personnal preference video and heard you say it's not fun cause you have to wipe it with a damp towel first and realized the French instructions didn't mention the towel had to be damp. Thanks for the good content and keep it up!
Yrr the wet wipe thins it I think it's a bit of a pain but it's not too bad. Decent product worthy of top tier but not my favorite I like the ultralick plus
I'd love to see another shoot out for spray waxes/sealants too.
interesting as always :) I don't normally buy Mcguirs here in the UK as they are pretty expensive, but they do work well. I thought that the megs sealant was a base coat and needed the hybrid detailer as a top coat? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe next time you could throw in a best of poundland bargain bin product, eg turtle wax liquid wax? Just to see the Comparisions in the "top brands" against the best performers.
Really nice test. Autofinesse Graphene with some added Buttery wax during summertime would probably be something I’d want to try.
The product missing from the test is Poorboys world EX-P. Would be awesome to see that included. Also, in a prior video, I belive John while talking about Sonax BSD said «probably be best to treat it as a proper sealant». With that in mind it would be fun if it was included in this test. Applied by applicator, not spray.
I am a big fan of that particular Turtle Wax product,
Great video...pick 2 of your priorities out of the columns...you have your product.
John, of all of these I only have the TW MAX in my arsenal. I really like it especially for the gloss both in it's look and tactile feel.
Really good to get a chance to see the +/-'s of the other products - very helpful.
The Japanese brand contains flourocarbons - VERY EVIL to humans and the environment - forever chemicals. The "other" wax industry - ski racing has banned it internationallly.
Shine on you crazy diamond!
Another great presentation, Jon.
The sealant I've been using is Optimun Opti-Seal.
Once I figured out that I needed to let the majority of the product flash away before leveling, it made a huge difference in performance. I had been very disappointed in it for years before I figured it out! 😆
I applied Opti-Seal to my trunk lid back in late May of 2022, and it's still hanging on, surprisingly. I made a video on my "Dan Chapa" channel of its then current performance back in September.
very interesting video, thx. can auto finnesse be hand applied and in direct sunlight ?
Thanks for another great comparo. The one thing I'd like to see you add to protection product reviews is some comments and footage on jetting and filling, even if you don't score them. You're the master on gloss, and it may be the only looks factor that can be measured objectively, but jetting and gloss are very big looks factors too-more important for me personally in choosing my protection products. You did this with Siramik Lustrous compared to the "market-leading" competitor, and in your glaze comparo, and maybe others. I'd just like to see it covered at least minimally with all protection products.
I don't think you can score jetting and filling m8
@@ForensicDetailing I appreciate you responding Jon. You did score filling in your glaze comparo. But wasn't asking you to score them, just to give impressions and footage on your test panel. Because they're rather important parts of the look of a product, don't you think? Of course your channel your choice, and I'll keep watching either way. I've learned more from than any other YT detailer, and been entertained along the way. Thanks again.
Missionary position , aggressive style ......... nice 😉👌
Be interested to see how meguiars hybrid ceramic liquid wax would compare, iv never tried it but doesn't look too bad.
Great video as always. Thank you. Something to consider. Prices vary considerably around the world; for example, Meguiars is apparently substantially cheaper here in the US than it is in the UK and some of the products that you show as good values are really expensive in the US.I think it would be nicer if you rated products first on perforance and then had a best buy list at the end that contemplated prices in the UK.
yer it gets too complicated to do that though and where do you draw the line? do I do price for europe, australia etc??
You could possibly do a total before price is factored in (a sub-total) and then add in the price/value points at the end. And it could be based on UK and those outside of the UK could then better see the results (sub-total) before price is factored in.
Or just watch one of the hundreds of American detailing RUclipsrs and not try and change one of our very few UK ones, please! 😂
@@ForensicDetailing Just have one score the same as how you do it now. And then one score that doesnt factor price so people will see true performance and price check with their region.
Because right now you can place something in top3 just because of price but that price could be way higher in other parts of the world.
Hi Jon, i want you to test Menzerna Power Lock
Just coming tobsay that nice video as always so thanks. Maybe someday jump to nordics and test swedish macserien products and finnish innokem,stardust and korrek products? Greetings from Finland :)
Will try freind
Thanks
Great comparison! But I wish Zaino was compared
I know the results are the results but I can say from experience that jescar ultralock gives excellent beading. I only had enough ceramic coat (cquk3.0) left for my hood and I used jescar everywhere else. For the first few weeks when it rained you could not tell any difference
Hey Man, great video as always! I'm voting for the Collinite double coat, which isn't on this list and it is INDEED a paste😳 That way you can hunt me down.... we can finally do a video together💯✌️...😁. I have used a couple of Auto Finesse products, great stuff! I especially liked their Pinup girl air fresheners... Classic! Anywho, I can't argue with your top 5 at all. I have ALWAYS told people that are asking me what to use, "you can't go wrong with the Turtle 🐢"... For years all I used was Jescar Powerlock plus... Awesome stuff... lately, I'm a HUGE fan of Collinte... Great Value, Great Company! Anyway, now I'm just rambling, take it easy Jon! Take care!
collenite stuff tends to be really solid doesnt it. thank you my friend
@@ForensicDetailing yes sir. Love the channel brother!
Next time you do this sort of test, how about trying them against that old car show favourite 'MER'. You could set fire to that and it still hung on 😁
I am missing Sholl Concept w6 black coat wax
Really needed to include Wolfgang deep gloss seakent to the mix. Collinite is a last step insulator ( topper wax). Great with Wolfgang deep gloss seakent.
M8 it's called insulator wax because it was designed to insulate industrial power cables. You risk scrubbing the sub micron layer of sealant off when you put this on top. If your gonna top stuff use a water based product.
Hi John is the Auto finesse better than the Rupes Uno Advanced
Wolfgang deep gloss 3.0 should have made this comparison. I think it would be durable like Jescsar and glossy like collonite .
Been waiting for this video for ages. Mainly to see what you thought on F7 - never been more disappointed with a product especially being Fusso. Felt like it lasted about a month and cause it’s so liquid I thought it was more of a pain to apply then the usual Fusso coat
A big 👍 for the video Jon, but with the likes of Autobrite now available in Halfrauds it would be a option that's easy available to most people.
The best sealant according to my years of research is Nova lustre. I just love this stuff
thats a spray sealant, I discussed in the video no spray sealants :)
@@ForensicDetailing Thanks for doing comparison videos. Your channel is the best for detailing and I learnt so much the past about two years.
I want to ask you, if you had to pick one for maximum protection of artificial-leather (vinyl) car seats
- Colorlock protector/conditioner for vinyl OR Colorlock shield - which one will it be?
Love Chemical Brothers products but again The prices!!!
The Jescar UL+ is so durable that I’m having the hardest time washing it off my wax applicator pad 😂
Alright Jon do you have a video on best 1 year "nano ceramics"? If not maybe a good feature? I've used many of these product and like you say, non really give the long term results. I more than often apply a wax over these sealants but sometimes think is it really putting a seal on the paintwork???
It's really hard to do this sort if video properly mate
Hi Jon, one I love in this Category is a must try and I love is Menzerna Power lock
So so slick easy on and Off and ticks all the boxes my favourite
From Steve McMahon
Geeky detail reviews
I think its similiar to jescar powerlock, ultralock is supposed to be the newer better thing but im not 100% sure.
@@ForensicDetailing you're right, Menzerna powerlock was the exact same as the jescar. The newer one is made by Jescar themselves, menzerna probably could'nt make it because of the very strict guidlines for chemical products.
Jon I'm looking for advice on applying BH Double Speed Wax in cold weather around 4 degrees?
put it on thin and buff it mate. use the cleanser fluid or cleanser polish first for better results.
I forgot to add in my other comment, you should give Collinite 476 a try. I think it has even better gloss and definitely more durable. Also, I prefer the paste wax out of the can. Call me old fashion haha.
No tins in this one
Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax is not included??
Philosophical question: should a product win a comparison test if it promises something (ultra hydrophobics) that it doesn‘t do?
I dont know actually but like its interesting point
Heya, would you be able to use the really durable products like the Jescar, then go over that with a more glossy product?
yes mate in theory why not.
What experience have you had with alien magic boss,just purchased a bottle and not used it as yet,so just looking for a review
Not much m8 sorry
Your chemical guys hydro slick must be out of date or your not applying it properly, i love using it. It is slightly more difficult to buff off especially on black cars but the cloths just fall off the panels super slick
I am planning to wipe car with high alkaline shampoo, wax off product and a degreaser for clean paintwork for another EGP. If I use this strong wipe products should I still use Super Resin Polish before EGP? (My paintwork is 7 yo Lexus, paintwork has no problems as for now). I will use resin polish for reapply, but should I use it for clean paintwork? Is EGP mix of sealant and wax or it is liquid wax?
Use srp if paint is faded or a bit hazy m8. If 0aint is good and contamination free. Then egp it m8
Surely after doing some kind of 1 stage correction, applying and buffing these with a dry cloth would just put a load of swirls back in?
No m8, dirty cloths, bad wash technique etc does that.
Why not try Autobrite Banana wax? My only thought now it’s in Halfords it’s more ready available to uk based customers.
could have been good although I did consult patreons and it was not mentioned i think
@@ForensicDetailing Not to worry. Thank you for the reply👍🏻
Super easy to use but not durable at all
Could you not use Menzerna Power Lock instead of Jescar?
Busy viewing thd show but the Menzerna should be cheaper in the UK
i dont think its the same though
@Forensic Detailing Channel I think it is, Jescar is the USA distributor for Menzerna
That said, I use Menzerna and it does not smell.
Worth some investigating LOL
@@Dax60roll - The formulations are different, especially with the new sio2 Ultre Lock + offering. Menzerna has no direct competition for UL+.
@Forensic Detailing Channel sorry, I was thinking of the Jescar power lock and the Manzerna power lock
How did you get hold of the Jescar Ultralock?
amazon but cant see it there now
@@ForensicDetailing cheers I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
is Autofinesse Graphene + fusso 12 months Wax a good mix ?
No one or other m8
Adams has newer ceramic and graphene sealants that are probably more competitive.
Yes for sure
was this filmed a year ago? i thought you just shaved all your hair off?
summer mate :)
Something weird going on with this video I think. I’ve been looking out for it for a while, turns out it was 4months ago - also only 128 views, strange.
It's not fully published how did you get notified of it?
@@ForensicDetailing ah, that’ll be why. I wasn’t notified, but thought I’d missed it after you said you were doing it in other vids. It is available via ‘Playlists’ > ‘BEST PRODUCT VIDEOS’, down the bottom of that list.
P.S. the surface must be properly prepared nothing on the surface other than the paint and clear coat.
What I have to say in the comments... not much really... if you want some sort of product and don't know what to choose, then you simply go to forensic experts on detailing and buy the product that wins, or that ticks one of your boxes... literally it is that easy. Your videos just makes it so easy to choose what to buy I almost feel like I am cheating!
that you mate, honestly this means a lot to me, because thats the exact reasons we do these comparisons.
@@ForensicDetailing And I don't mean it light heartedly.
I started detailing like 8 years ago and it was hard... I would spend hours even days researching products... didn't make many mistakes in the end, but it took very long time for sure... now I watch 10 min video and all the answers I may have had are answered!
As well even back then there were detailing videos, but key issue is that all videos are basically "here is scratched and dirty car, here is the products I have used (if you lucky), here is the same car now shiny"... no explanation of why those products were used, or whenever they better than other products.
And I am detailing for myself, I don't make money out of it, so I simply can't buy 10 products to sample. What I can do... I can watch your video, apply some knowledge from products I have used in the past to put it in context and I right away know which one I will pick.
Honestly this is gold!
Koch Chemie SO02 imcomparable
What do you mean?
thats a spray sealant... Im coming to get you!!!!!
Am I the only one who read SUCK instead of SLICK? 😆
Have you ever tested anything by Stjarnagloss or whatever his name is? Bloke annoys the buggery out of me and would love to see his products put into a test to see if he can put his money where his (overly chirpy) mouth is..
only the class cleaner but I want to try more mate their stuff looks really good and you need a bit of character when your banging the pots and pans mate thats the name of the game.
At least he's positive.
I can't watch obsessed garage for their miserable, snarky figurehead...
Stjarnagloss is the same company as Dodo juice.
@@camwinstone so mostly bright coloured packaging to appeal to toddlers and not much in the way of decent products? 🤣
@@danlc95 I just figure that if you have decent products they sell themselves, without the need for “punk IPA” style packaging and an overly animated figurehead..🤷🏻♂️
THOW SHALL NOT PASSSS........... 🖕Haha class Jon
4month old comments wtf😂
trickle feed :)
Question. You always open with “Welcome back to the Forensics Detail channel” but your channel is Forensic, not the plural Forensics. Is this just an old joke I missed at some point? Thx !
Jon's just saying welcome back. Not sure why that's a big deal.
@@alastairtreymaine1964 it’s not a big deal. Just wondering about the plural thing.
Maybe he means the Forensic dissection he does while reviewing the many and varied reviews and comparison (more than one at a time) he does so so well and I am sure you didn't mean it in a pedantic manner. Keep up the amazing work John best channel in the UK by a mile buddy.
:) ive spoken about this before. its just me being dumb :)
@@ForensicDetailing
I get it now. Your channel is FORENSIC but you are discussing the FORENSICS of detailing. I’m on board with it! Keep it up!
It’s not durability, it’s chemical resistance! It’s not the same thing. Please don’t make the mistake of saying these are the same thing!
Covered in video and covered thousands of times long before anyone else was talking about it.
How can the winner be a snide beader that doesn't make sense
Quit shaking the bottle so I can read it. :)
But....none of them are as good as BSD.
Would be interesting to know the true power of BSD🙂
With the recession I’m too poor to even wash my car let alone detailing

One of my go to products over the years is sonax bsd, I'm thinking of layering it with auto finesse graphene, would it be best putting the auto finesse down 1st
