I've applied this 2 weeks ago on my new car, it can go on most surfaces except glass for safety reasons (glare). It will go on poly carb binical speedo and screens. They advise that it's great on touch screens particularly because of keeping finger prints off. Also, they recommend that you don't spray directly onto the interior panels. Spray directly into a pad then spread it around the panels, I used a medium size Gyeon pad that doesn't absorb the ceramic coating keeping the product on the surface and not in the sponge- highly recommend you do the same. They really could do with making these statements on the bottle. I've done a fair amount of research into this before I made the leap to spend £47. So far so good. Apparently the liquid inside the bottle is more fluid then water meaning that it won't fill microscopic hole and pores keeping the finish similar to its original finish. It does slightly darken the surface. The whole idea of this product is to make cleaning a lot easier, reducing stains, rejecting dust, its would keep spilled liquids like cans of drink on the surface of the seats for instance so that you can clean up before it soaks in. I like it. I understand it and feel its worth. I had to find out what surfaces it can be used on by watching a lot of Yvan and Nicks channel. It will go on Alcantra as its a form of microfiber, probably not seat belts for safety reasons I'd use common sense. Analine leather and white headliner found in common cars probably not due to a slight colour deviation and could easily alter the appearance. I am with you on the fact they should print this information on the bottle. I've not scanned the QR code yet.
Good to see a uk RU-vidr locking at diy details products, I love all the products that I have, have just coated the wife's car with the 5 year coating, its mint
cheers mate yer I really like the look of the products and I love the fact this brand get stuck in on social media and show people how to use this stuff. Its such a simple thing to do but none of the brands do it. Its like show people your knowledge, show people your passion, show people your expertise. If you fail to do this people might think you dont have any...
Ideas for testing: - Look at the finish (kind of subjective, I hate glossy finishes for interior) - Test durability in 2 ways: - Chemical resistance with an interior detail, stepping up to surfex for a torture test - Friction resistance by setting up something to continually rub over a test piece of leather (like the wiper test you did for glass coating). - Price like you normally do - Instructions, quality of the bottle/sprayer etc. like you normally do - Ease of application like you normally do - Ease of cleaning by getting a coated surface dirty - Stain resistance by letting some coffee dry on some plastic perhaps - Fabric water repellency by tipping a cup of water on some carpet (don't spray it / atomise it, pouring represents a "spillage" better)
Great on satnav, great on all fabric. Plus the spray nozzle is doesn’t need cutting down it’s ready to go. Headlining if they get damp they can let go never good to have a sagging headliner.
It is the same trigger that came with mine, just went out to check my bottle and mine leaks too. I've just put the original cap back on. Thanks Jon, you are a legend 🙌
i wouldn’t put it on windows I saw video how Ivan explained it how to apply it personally bought it applied it in interior except carpets and windows and i sprayed it on applicator 4 months later i don’t know what to think about it i assume that is protecting my interior i will say that my interior been easier to clean love your videos keep up the good work DIY been good to me
All I use on my interior is APC to clean it all, then use window cleaner on all panels and the dash, and it keeps it all matte. I use GTechniq Leather Protect on all the seats and leather door cards. Cheap and easy.
I'd love to see this vs Adams UV Interior coating, Gyeon Leather Shield, and carpro Leather v2, and maybe some of the trim ceramic coatings. I decided to go with Gyeon Leather Shield on the leather, CarPro Dlux (already have) on the trim, and 303 fabric guard (already have).
Probably also one of the heaviest marketed ones. But probably overseas, the value proposition will be less than in the usa. Similar to kcx, insane prices in the eu but quite expensive in the usa
@@Zoranurai13 I haven’t seen a single ad anywhere on social media except tests by the youtube detailers. It’s not like Chemical guys, they are heavily marketing and have like 1 out of 100 good products.
I wouldn't call it a dressing at all Jon, so much more than say 303👈 I'm on my 2nd bottle and I even use it on my Alcantera inserts and leather, it's a GREAT product 👍👍
i have it applied already 6-7month ago, once in the 2 weeks i give the car a quick clean with rinseless and its really good, probebly for what i noticed the steeringwheel is getting dirty quicker and not so fast to clean as in the first months but still good, the rest of the car wipe with a damp cloth and dry with a clean cloth and its good to go, and that after 40k km in 6-7months. So it makes youre interior easy to maintain and a nice oem look, but yeah other products can do that as well, but for how long? but the best of this product is when you use it on youre toch screens it works fantastic less fingerprints and so easy to clean and without streaks
Gutted you uploaded this today while I was out buying something for our leather car seats. I ended up buying the AutoGlym kit from Halfords for just under £30 which includes the cleaner,a balm,cloth and applicator. Hoping you rate the AutoGlym 😂
Hey John another product you could try is ez car care, finito Interior detailer I've been using it for a year and it gives you that oem finish and it's cheap as chips , I would love too know what you think of it 👍
As for assessing the effectiveness of these interior products, you could set up a decent salvage dashboard to test on, which could be left outside for uv testing. Bit like your bonnet you have already!!
Here in Australia the DIY ceramic interior cost's $114 which is around 55 quid. So it's expensive. But l like their products and I've used their rinseless, ceramic gloss, waterspot remover and they all work well. I won't buy the interior stuff until it's much cheaper though. Damn shipping cost's. My staple is 303. Great video!
The difference between the two are, 303 needs to be reapplied every 3 weeks or so, Interior ceramic applied to surfaces you never touch such as dash boards, one coat may last a lifetime? Leather seats, where there is wear & tear, needs to be reapplied every year or so. Do the math for your usage...
@@hartlanddetailer5670 Well longevity is yet to be proven. I can get 750mls of 303 for a lot cheaper than 473mls and it does the job. Looking at how much you have to apply the maths doesn't work for me. I'm not arguing how good it is just needs to be cheaper for me, as I said I like DIY stuff.
I like use the clean and protect style products in well maintained cars such as autofinesse sprits, i have just ordered some P&S swift so fingers crossed thats good!
Keep us updated. My concern with that one is the concern I have with pretty much all AIO’s. If I’m cleaning (lifting dirt/dust) how can I be leaving protection and a slight gloss?
@@benkneisley3001 I guess it's a simple to use compromise that isn't the best at either but can work as an in-between. It helps save me time when cleaning the interior of my well maintained car
Be interesting to see a response from Ivan on this - spraying seems an odd choice due to the high chance of overspray - lots of space left on the bottle for better instructions/more detail
I want to see how the Interior Ceramic stacks up against your typical water-repelent spray you can buy for carpet/upholstery/shoes. The claim is obviously going to be durability but I'd like to see it tested.
Big fan of the Rinseless wash, and didn’t get any streaking with quick beads. Plus any question you have or suggestions with sticking in the video of cybertruck interior video they did with this the otherday as the do answer any questions which is good for the brand and not something every manufacturer does. I’m tempted to try out a paint ceramic as it has a 1 hr cure time. If Gyeon could get their coatings like this I would have probably used theirs by now as big fan of what I have used but without garage access and British weather finding the weather to prep, decon, polish, PW and ceramic and then still have 12 hrs of dry weather here isn’t easy
For me if such a product actually works I’d like stain resistance on fabrics, carpet, and leathers/vinyls. Perhaps stubborn areas of seatbelts and headliners. Things that are easy to stain and hard to clean. But dashboards, door cards, steering wheels etc I’ve never had any issues cleaning.
thing is should ceramic material really provide stain resistance in fabrics? The original coating materials were not designed for fabrics they were designed more for coil coatings, architextural facades, and anti graffitti applications on train carriages. But is this interior ceramic for fabric application not sure? these are all good questions. I think it says not for headliners somewhere. I think I would use it more for dash board and interior trim and doorcards. But need to get to know the product better.
For me interior ceramics need to be for fabrics, seats mats door cards, that’s where I see the benefits repelling dirt, water from soaking in, does a dash need it
Just don't see the need for it personally Jon. I have some interior dressings/detailers which I like for quickly wiping over the dash & door cards with the more dirty lower sections getting a scrub pad & some APC. These 2 basic products do everything I require for interior cleaning.
beyond my remit mate, product was bought and payed for. thats the trigger that came with it. others commented they have this trigger. So at the moment lots of DIY detail customers have leaking bottles. Reviews are supposed to raise things like this not to fix the things you discover.
The UK suppliers are sending the bottles out with these Grey nozzles not the Black ones that they came with. That was the point I was trying to get across. I to have a leaking bottle.
Its up to the brand to ensure that they tell distributors what spray triggers go with what bottles. distributors stock thousands of products they will never have the ability to test and check what goes with what. Its also the brand that get impacted from any issues. Again though this is outside the remit of the review.
@@ForensicDetailingwe only have one type of sprayers for our products. If a distributor accidentally sends a consumer a sprayer from another source it’s hard for us to police other than explaining to the distributor the importance of using the correct sprayers.
yer but can you? interior glass? alcantara? carpet? Rubber matts? seat belts? analine leather? Says its fabric safe but to not use on headliner. Headliner can be vinyl, leather, alcantara, fabric etc.. etc.. So just in my head Im not 100% sure. You can argue apply commen sense. Its hard for labels to cover every outcome but on the flip side I think they could elaborate on specific surfaces a little bit. I dont think I would apply this to interior glass for example.
£50 quid ?! you must be mad. No matter how goood this is, its too expensive for my blood, as DIY driveway pro-sumer. I'd say the best value for money is the carpro perl. dilute down and can do multiple jobs around the trim interior and exterior in 1 bottle, and is dilutable in water. If its a dedicated dressing TW inside job would be the best value imho
they can kink or loop back up on themselves if you push them down. they should be cut to length, if they are not that gets raised in the review so people are aware and can decide if its important to them.
@@ForensicDetailingnothing wrong with bringing it up. I didn’t cut the straw on my latest purchase although I’m not the biggest fan of the spay head as they are a bit hit and miss in my opinion
thats in the lineup but I think thats essentially an acrylic spray (water based). Its not quite the same thing material wise as the DIY product. But yer its 9 quid which is cheaper i guess.
As ever, your video is always fuly concise and informative but, I will be totally honest, £47 for a bottle of interior cleaner/sealer, yeah never going to happen - My 12 year old Edition 35 GTi still looks new inside using the £4-7 per bottle products.
@@diydetailofficial I get taht but, as I said, about my GTi being 12 years old, it still looks like new inside and my 20 year old R32 is the same. I get what your product does but its jjust not for me for that price bracket. Best of luck with it though.
If this product actually left a long lasting sheen I'd be interested, the fact it doesn't means I'm not. Just being a one and done UV protection is it's only real selling point as far as I can tell.
The video DIY Detail released shows them spraying directly into towels/applicators. No idea why it says spray to surface in the instructions, seems wasteful at best, dangerous for health at worst...
Assuming that the DIY Detail product came from in2detailing, they recently seem to have changed the sprayers they ship with those products, they used to be black as in the DIY detail youtube videos, but this time my ceramic gloss order came with the grey one like yours too. That said, the old ones needed trimming as well! which I agree is a pain Got to the end of the video: the sprayers they used to ship definitely were air tight! I hope that this is an error from the distributer rather than an update made by DIY Detail themselves
they shipped in bottles with lids and the sprayer comes with it. Disti had no instructions on what sprayers to ship with what bottle as far as I know. but glad its sorted either way.
Tested this out on half my interior and after a month my conclusion is its a waste of time and money. It didnt seem to make any difference in terms of ease of cleaning plastic and leather and it does add a very slight sheen to the surface. I cleaned and rinsed with a damp cloth before drying and applying. Unfortunately i wont be using it again.
I watched a video on this Jon when it came out and someone used it in a car and i asked a question about durability or something like that and the main man from DIY relied : READ THE COMMENTS BELOW ! Think i hit a nerve .
I like their products but I think their instructions are terrible. I've watched a bunch of their videos and the instructions in the videos contradict what's on their bottles. You shouldn't have to watch a video to learn how to use a detailing product. The instructions on the label should be sufficient. For example, their panel prep. Yvan in the videos will tell you that you must spray on one towel and wipe off with a clean separate towel. Never spray directly onto the panel. The instructions on the bottle tell you to spray on the panel and wipe off. Also just got to the instruction part of the video. Again, this label contradicts how they instruct you to use it in their videos. They instruction you to spray onto an applicator and wipe off. The black sprayer is the one that came with the product.
I wouldn't call it a dressing at all Jon, so much more than say 303👈 I'm on my 2nd bottle and I even use it on my Alcantera inserts and leather, it's a GREAT product 👍👍
