Have you had the chance to work with any of these coatings? let us know your experience down below! Also, make sure you're subscribed to stay up to date on our latest update videos in this series.
I had the SB3 5 year applied to my car last year. Looks as fresh as the day it was applied and easy to maintain. No regrets. Even made the detailers portfolio so I knew it came out good!
Igl and gyeon…I know they ain’t the best buts it’s what I got. My goal is to work up to a cquarts finest reserve level…it’ll take time but I’m growing.
I'd love to see your thoughts and review on a coating I've been using in AUS called Revivify, really loving using it, would love to know what you think :) I know you can get in the US as well.
I noticed in the description you accidentally spelled Feynlab as Fenylab in both the timestamp and the contact info.
I’ve worked with opti coat pro and the pro plus product at a shop I was working for a few years ago! Wasn’t a big fan of pro. A lot of their big rep guys left the company as well. Imo g technique has the best coatings and products. I love applying CSL and then top it with exo.
This series is going to be awesome... thanks for taking the time to put all together!
This is the best video and best method of real world testing I have ever seen. The details were perfect and now will be the standard that I judge all videos of this type in the future. I am thoroughly impressed
I think this has to be one of the most detailed and info packed videos on RUclips...
I appreciate all the hard work u put into this very informative video. Excellent job. Can't wait to see more of this series. 🙌
Just to keep things transparent .. Silla is Rated 5 Years .. as we did try to fix the error before the video got posted.. but looks like we were unsuccessful... But no worries 👍 appreciate Jason and the crew testing everything out .. enjoy 😉 can't wait for the results
My Butterfly Graphene is coming in today, can't wait to put it on my car 🔥
Thank you for the clarification. That is my fault, originally we were going to install the butterfly coating and switched to Silla. I already had the script written and changed everything but the durability length. My bad.
@@ChicagoAutoPros the durability length, cure time, and number of days before washing were all specific to butterfly FYI.
im confused that they give firball this number .I tested maybe 10 ceramic coating but firball aegis even better than all ceramics.I cant imagine if i use silla what will happen.This numbers are wrong for fireball .This product not deserve this number
Signature series detail. I have been installing coatings since 2009 when they were first allowed into the US. I have tried them all and as far as durability gloss and protection Fireball is the best hands down. It is also the highest and purest form of sio2 on the market.
Let's go! Thanks for featuring us in this video! Turned out great! Can't wait to see the results!
You all stood out the most tbh. Just seems more product-first than slick advertising and unboxing presentation. I'm interested in the oleophobicity- how do you think that might come into play? Possibly by reducing water spots?
This was extremely in depth and genuine. Very enjoyable and insightful, thanks for all your efforts.
You guys are top shelf in detailing, and the only ones on that shelf. So in depth and informative love you guys. Not gate keeping anything top level information with everything.
Great video Jason 💪 looking forward to the results over the next year
Thanks to CAP for putting this test on and the work that went in to organizing. I wish Carpro and Kamikaze would have participated but this is still a good group.
Thank you so much for your hard work and very very informative video. You did all of the research for me so all I had to do was take notes and make a decision. You're the man! Instant subscribe and I'll be following the progress!! 🤘
Very professionally done Jason. Enjoyed it👍🏻
Awesome video. I am a System X installer in Ohio. I really love the coatings and look forward to seeing how they stack up against other pro coatings.
I would love to see your review on that 2 month update video. Telling us your thoughts on the quality of each of them, as well as your opinion on the prices. And then finally another updated review (can be shorter if not much of your opinion has changed) maybe 6 months or longer down the line.
Awesome video! Really appreciate you guys doing all of these testing for the community!
I’ve been waiting for this one! Fireball crew 💪
Well done comparison video. Clearly a ton of effort went in to doing this video...Thank you!
Definitely was a lot of work to put together, thank you!
Nicely done. So much info packed here.
I had no idea there were soooo many options of professional coatings out there! Also, thank you for this as the amount of labor was for sure tremendous. I will definitely like to see if indeed it increases the thickness of the paint/clearcoat/coating.
Wow Jason you and all the guys at CAP really outdid yourselves , what an amazing video and so much information bombs 😂it was incredible,I know not only myself but all your followers truly appreciate all your hard work and dedication to sharing your knowledge and all your testing ,You've really helped my wife and I to understand what it takes to become an accredited detailer,we plan on opening our own business next year so thank you so much😎
A quick little note we attempted to send an email to share some paint correction products we recently discovered and had good success with hopefully it made it 🤣 thanks again for everything you do and we look forward to all your future content 👍
Amazing comparision Video, loved it Jason
Hot dang now we are talking!
I can't help but wonder what products might ultimately work better or worse with certain manufacturers paint schemes, but that would be a rabbit hole where the bottom couldn't be found.
This took a lot of work and you guys did an amazing job.
This is going to be an excellent series to watch. First thank you because the amount of leg work you have put in is a lot. Thank all the suppliers who allowed the average Joe to see the inner workings of their coating. I’m very curious to see the difference between the thicker and thinner coatings. Do they prevent scratches to the paint being thicker? Do some coatings need to be sanded or polished when the inevitable high spot shows up? This is excellent material for the small shops wanting to grow need to understand who charges memberships.
Great job explaining all those coating, excellent video
Thank you!
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time, along with your associates. On to your follow-up videos!
Nicely done vid.
Very informative with great content.
Glad you also have Ceramic Pro on here, it gets mixed reviews from some even saying that it is cheap stuff but i am happy with mine. Great video and informative
I'm with system x and absolutely love them
Im excited for the follow up videos!
Best video I have seen every detail of what you need to know👌
Thank you Jason for the insightful information.
What a sincere and lovely video 👍👍
I literally just watched this whole video about ceramic coating and it wasn’t boring good job
We appreciate that!
Very informative video. Thank you.
Very interested in following where this goes. Thanks for doing these kind of tests. They matter, the let us (and you) know which are worth the money.
Awesome video !!!
A good website is an absolute must! I really came to that realization recently when i went shopping for something and you would be amazed at the amount of cheap or unreliable websites are out there and should yours look professional and stand out above the rest would make your business stand out as a premium
WOW, what an amazing video!! Well Done!! Always amazing work and information from Chicago Auto Pros🙏👍🇺🇸 Thank you for making.
Thanks for watching!
Great video as always!
Thanks!
Jason! Love your stuff man, just got into detailing about a year ago and just started my LLC a month ago. Looking forward to this video series showing the results! Also can’t wait to take a course up in Chicago with you guys soon! Unless you plan on coming down to Atlanta! 😂
Thanks Andrew! Can’t wait to meet you in the future.
Been waiting for this video.
I work with Fireball in Australia.
Really back the coating and can see it doing really well in this challenge.
Hi ethan, how good a product is it? ,is it easy to use/work with etc .any other info would be useful thanks
@@garethlivesley2730 I love it mate. I find it pretty easy to work with.
Good product for the Australian conditions.
Would highly recommend it to anyone looking to start using a new product
Ethan, how does NV Nova Pro compare?
I like this guys sincerity
I just subbed here Dude! Awesome presentation of background info. I live in Fargo, ND.
SUPERB JOB TEAM!!
Thanks!
Awesome! 👌 Can't wait for updates! 🙂 ...I'm curious about Enigma 🤔
Thank you for doing this series for us diy plebs that can't get hold on these products and have to believe the claims these companies advertise.
Veros wow amazing with the donation's ur setting up ur company apart from the rest with ur generosity
Thanks for the information
Thanks for the add buddy 👍🏻
Just some info for the angelwax coating they also have a 3 year coating called Solaris and 1,5 year called legacy. Genesis but with graphen is called nebula. if you do two layers of either genesis,nebula or solaris it has life time warranty. You can also drag a knife and just heat the scratch away when having 2 layers.
Great test! The videos on the coatings as I like them! 👍 👍 👍, I just wish I had seen carpro professional or even carpro finest reserve (with gliss v2 as top coat, reload or elexir for maintenance) for the competition between carpro, gyeon and gtechniq!. Yes, a video on the different families of ceramics (Sio2, Tio2, sic, graphene and the different hybrid mixtures Sio2 +Tio2. Sio2 + graphene. Sio2 + graphene + fluorine) would be excellent and super interesting, for example the hardest, the most hydrophobic, brightest, darkest and more.... I'm very interested in that. Go Jason! 😉
Curious to know which of these products can be used on headlights, glass and/ or trim. Is the durability different when used on a headlight due to heat exposure etc.??
I would love to see a separate video on headlight specific coatings with pros and cons, ease of application, cure times, ect. I currently use the invision headlight restoration and protective coating system but sometimes have issues with the polymer coating.
I am looking forward to the results of this test. I have Gtechniq Ultra on my wife's Audi SQ7, and my Audi RS6 Avant (Jason, you may remember it from the Gtechniq Summit last year in Tampa).
Any ceramic coating which are easy to apply and has good durability is top tier coating to me.
DuraSlic xtreme are the best DIY ceramic coating period and easy to apoly just one coat and no BS. Duraciat are one company top notch been on business for years..they have the tool and research and experienced globally. Pair it with duraFlowX or duracoat as a top coat or regular sealant gives you unknown result compared to all products his been showing here and some of the top end I had tried but nothing get closer un terms of durability and slickness and I tested it during winter time here midwest. Highly recommend duraslic xtreme or just the 500 version and you won’t regret it.
I am looking forward to see the out comes Jason
I watched this whole video and it's amazing, but I would absolutely love some timestamps or chapters added for each coating to make it easier to refer back to in the future
OMG, this blew my mind 🤯. If you can ADD thickness to your clear coat, that my friend is a GAME changer. I can't wait for the results!!!!
C'mon now....
Great video Jason. I am a detailer in the Dallas, TX area and am an accredited installer of the Glidecoat Pro line of ceramics and was curious if you’ve heard of them before? I have had great results but you don’t hear much about them as they are a smaller company in Florida and their products are made in Ohio. Keep up the great work! Brad
Good breakdown.
Thanks!
Good stuff
Super curious on this one. I use several in the bunch but crazy to see some of these prices, especially gloss-it.
Tremendous work CAP the amount of work in this vid is unreal, to learn each specifically suggestions application method and the company’s info is unreal great work look forward to the updates 🧼🫡
Thank you brother!
Great video guys, thx. Wish you had included ServFaces Coat Ultima too
One more thing, Opti-Coat teaches that coating process begins even with car washing: power clean, ONR, paint prep, and Hyper Polish (primer). All of them add polymers that would help Opti-Coat Pro bond effectively to the surface. So apparently if you do not do this steps, then you can not claim warranty if something fails
Let's think about that...Power Clean(All Purpose to get the gunky stuff) then ONR wash to remove the regular dirts. Paint prep to remove EVERYTHING from the paint's surface. Leaves NOTHING behind. If anything, they would request/require using Hyper Polish with an ONR rinse...that would make sense as then the there would be polymers left behind. The rest sounds like BS.
I'm an optimum fan boy by the way, LOVE rinseless washes and Hyper Polish doesn't get nearly enough love for how easy and quick it can go around a vehicle. No taping needed. Hell, it's a go to to remove old wax/polish residue.
@@greatestNothin They do require Hyper polish before application. They include it with the kit and call it "prep polish"... but its exactly the same as hyper polish. It is even shown briefly in the video.
" because they know all they sold you was a guaranteed piece of sh**"
The good ole VHS days.
😂
I like your work I would love to see your opinion on graphene coatings especially from Detroit solution thank you keep up the good work
nice job.
my question is if I add a polishing compound , a cutting compound and a wax together stir it and use it on a car will it work as all in one step or I will still need to wax again?
very interested in this video. I'm an installer for System X from Delaware and really like the product, I tried Gtechniq CSL before switching over but some professional grade companies are wont let you be within a certain distance from another shop and there a quite a few detail shops in my area. All you videos are informative and useful, I appreciate the amount of time and effort you put into this.
Damn these ceramic coating manufacturers are so controlling just like Apple lol
I was hoping to see Roar on this list. Great video anyway
I bought a 2017 camry I had Zurichshield coating applied when new there are spots every where on paint like its coming off how do I get it all off to have a new up dated coating applied . I like the detail you put into your videos...
If you measure a 20 micron increase I'll eat my hat ... That's nearly a Mil of ceramic! One of those at the end said 25 didn't it!!!
Also you forgot to mention ceramic pro is fireproof lol they seem to show that off a lot. If the other ones are not fireproof... Deal breaker.
Love this video and excited to see the series 🙂👍
Feynlab is known for the self healing coatings and being the first to manufacture them. They also own one other company who makes one. Feynlab is also one of the only companies who makes their coatings in house and doesn’t re label it through a blending house like many companies. They are true innovators and I love working with their coatings. They have the thickest coating on the market with Self Heal Plus. System x doesn’t come close to 20 microns… especially with one layer. That material can’t simply just thicken over time… with Self Heal Plus you are mixing up 4 bottles into 2 separate bottles of resin. Layer 1 goes on and layer 2 is applied directly on top after it’s set up. Then a leveling aid is used to wipe clear. Heal Lite is a 5 year single layer and the sister to Heal Plus. All Feynlab coatings are car fax approved and insurance covers them to be re applied if a accident happens and a panel is refinished.
Hi Jason, I hope you, your family and your employees are doing great. What polishing product do you like or recommend before ceramic coating? Thank you
Great video!! Just wondering, why is it we don’t see Carpro Finest Reserve in this test? You’ve worked with it yourself in the past right? Thanks!
I haven't watched the video yet but I'm hoping R1 is one of the coatings you guys are testing. Because that's what I have lol
Hi, thank you for sharing information. I am about to buy RAM TRX and I was asking my dealer if they offer ceramic coating. They said they apply Simoniz Glass Coat. Have you use this product and if yes would you recommend this product? Thank you.
Im amazed boss if you don't mind which is good pad for scratches and swirl you use or recommend for rotary machine because my campany using polytop foam pad work is good but need time any recomend for quicker for scratches pad tnx you
Do you use only the prep/wipe spray from the same manufacturers of the ceramic coatings?
Hey im a fairly new subscriber, love the channel. I work at a small locally owned detailing shop and we have a ceramic and graphene coating from a brand called Tonyin. Just wondering if you guys have heard of it. Idk how well it would hold up against other brands, but i've had good results from using it.
Great Video guys, wish you had included CarPro Finest Reserved too. 👌👍
Thank you! Wish we could have included them.
Really wish this were a controlled test. It's so hard to gain fair judgement putting 16 different products all over a car. 5, 6 and 7 are going to take an absolute beating from road grime, whereas 12, 13 and 14 are going to hardly see anything. Going on 5 years with no toppers on XPEL Fusion, and while the bottom of the car is tired, the hydrophobics on the rear quarter panels look brand new still
Hello … I m in seattle and recently bought 2023 palisade. Its hyper white in color. Which ceramic brand you believe would be the best for my car?
Question: I have an old 69 Barracuda that I started restoring back in 2016 which is when it was painted. Very expensive, high quality 3 stage paint job. Life and finances got in the way and the car sat until the beginning of 2022. Now the car is almost complete. But my body man/restorer is recommending that I let them cut and buff the car since it’s been sitting for so long, in a garage, covers on and off. I said ok. But I want it ceramic coated when you’re done. He doesn’t recommend a ceramic coat unless we do a micro polish which is another expense. My thought is, why would it need micro polishing AFTER a cut and buff? Shouldn’t all the fine scratches be gone? As it sits now, there are no scratches in the paint anyway. Any thoughts?
So what will be a good product that I can buy online that you had the best experience with i been searching, but it’s so many options out here
Hey Jason. Looked in the back of the table you had Roar Coatings. I can be blind as well. Lol. Did they opt out of the video? Cant wait to see the results of these test.
Wondering the same.....
Feynlab Ceramic Ultra is by far the best and most durable non-healing coating I have ever tested and used.
Been using Feynlab Ceramic V2 and love it! How would you say the install compares with V2 vs Ultra?
@@detailed330 Feynlab Ceramic Version 3 has just been released & is said to be a significant leap forward from V2 in terms of ease of use & hydrophobics.
@@stevedowsett4567 yes no doubt. I’m installing V3 on a ‘95 911 over the next few days. Looking forward to it! Ultra is my favorite by far tho!
when will the next episode come out.. i cant wait to see
Ever work with Chadwick's Graphene 4 year coating ? or know how good it is?
0:43 Ceramic Coating THICKER than any wax??? Now that's something new to me.
Is Shine Supply Bead Lock Pro not good? Did not see it on the list?
DO you have any thoughts on system x coatings?
Jayson any thoughts on TAC SYSTEM Ceramic Coat Sealant ?
I would really like to see the follow up video of this where they all can be compared.
This could quite possibly go down as the best detailing video of THE YEAR! Great work brother! I couldnt help but notice how THICK Gyeon cured at (102). Is this an indicator of superior durabilty against UV, scratch resistance, droppings, harsh chemicals, general washes, etc? I mostly use the Gtech CSL & EXO at my shop. Ive been on the fence about where to invest for accreditation for a while now. Im really feeling like Gyeon is going to be the way I go eventually. Feynlab also posted impressive numbers but the install process seemed a little overwhelming.
Ultra is by far the best ease of install to performance product in my opinion bro
So which ones are the best and is there any kind of ranking it chart?
Whats your opinion on Labocosmetica’s product?
Have you tried CS2 Titanium SH and
how does it compare?
Which DIY coating you recommend for maximum gloss on PPF(Llumar).
Any idea when the next video is going to come out?
