I just subscribed to your other channel, I always enjoy watching your reviews of products! Thank you for the time and effort you put into the production of these videos. I would recommend that you invest in a wireless lapel microphone to remove echos and improve the audio. (Just a friendly suggestion).
Well done, how many of these products are basically retail off the shelf items and how about testing what the pro guys use, like say car pro or nova jet / luster for example or better still car pro hydro2 as a base line and then do the tests, after all they are all fairly new to the market as far as SIO2 spray on's? Keep up the great work, also i believe that turtle wax has a new spray ceramic sealant as well, like meguiars blue bottle. :) Which apex Detailing has tested and so far i am impressed with it, but in all fairness ,most people do not use a IPA wipe down to remove any existing wax sealants or do a complete decon and remove any sealants or wax's on the car, thus they will buy IMHO to best lasting or ease of application with a good wash of the car and then apply the products. :)
Love this channel so much can't get enough of it I love just soaking up all this free top class knowledge I really appreciate how much effort you put in to your videos you really do make the best detailing content on RU-vid 100% without a doubt
Really appreciate your dedication to deliver an unbiased review of each product. Many of your colleages in the world of professional car detailing unfortunately just promote products from specific brands under the guise of objective reviews when it's so evident that they depend on monetary support from the Industry, even if there's no formal agreement. Keep up the great work, Jon.
Great results and testing Jon, well done to those top 3. I do think that testing wax based detailers, ceramic detailers and gloss enhancing detailers together will always show strengths and weaknesses in different ways as each are formulated using different materials for end results. Based on the video, ceramic and wax based will come up top as they have very high hydrophobic properties, and slickness. Basic detailers as they have always been, are mainly about gloss and care of removal of dust etc as the design of detailer sprays are to use to gloss up paintwork after a wash and dry or during show events. Maybe a categorised test would be brill??? But again well done to all brands for making the top ten
For my car(Hyundai Tucson) i’m using Nanotech SST. After i wash the car, i just apply the Nanotech and for several weeks the car is protected. Ultra hydrophobic and easy to apply. Good video guys 🤙
Blimey, it's been up 20 mins and most of the comments are "why isn't there any BSD". Whilst it might be an omission I'd like to say thank you John to putting this content together and doing the hard work for us; this isn't a quick thing to pull together and you've clearly put in a lot of effort to conduct the testing. Now you've got to do it all again with the winner against BSD 😂🖕🙄
Yeah, amazing how many drone zombies comment the same thing right after the last same comment. In this comment section, instead of "brains...brains...brains" they drone on "BSD...BSD...BSD"
Ive had BSD in about 5 other detail spray comparisons on the channel. Its a product ive been talking about since day 1. its not here in this video simply because Ive run out of things to say about it. But lots of peeps have not seen all the content. Its like if I did a wax comparison there would be lots of comments about "no fusso" its all good though :)
I actually have just used Garage Therapy Sigma back to back with Megs hybrid ceramic detailer. Sigma in my opinion smashes it in every way. Ease of application and slickness. John try Sigma.
No BSD because it wouldn't be fair to the other contenders, guys! Gotta say that BSD over Fusso and DDsi over BSD (in that order) produces amazing gloss and a rock-solid barrier against contamination. Tested this myself on two daily drivers for over a year.
I started using Tac Systems Shinee Wax after watching this video. Fantastic product and results! I would not have tried this product if not for this video. Thank you for sharing this information. These videos are truly helpful.
Great video Jon. Been using the Tac systems for a few months now and agree with you that this stuff is brilliant. I use it as a drying aid with 2 or 3 squirts on each panel. Leaves the paintwork super glossy and lasts for ages.
Fantastic vid Jon thanks for taking the time to test them. I love the Tac systems and get great durability between applications, 4 wks and still strong. I have also found that on the wife’s red mini it deepens the colour too, easy to see where it’s applied and not. 😉
Fantastic comparison video as always, Jon! Although it didn’t score very highly - I’m a huge fan of AG Prizm. It’s one of my all time favourites. That’s the fun of the game I guess! Everyone has different preferences and may experience different things👍🏻
jon a good test to add to these QD shootouts could be the following: washing a panel...rinsing it....but not fully drying it...purposely simulating water marks and some light soap marks that the rinse misssed.....how good can these products tidy up that panel of dried water and some dried rinse shampoo.......this is the main reason i reach for my QD after weekly maintence because i always get dried water drips in the same spots.
Bouncers did well considering how long it's been around and the increase in technology since it came out. It's been my favourite since you first reviewed it all those years ago.
nice research work Jon, much appreciated. Enigma QED is good, but Meg's HCD is excellent overall for me (watched a seagull bomb slide off my Outback), but want to try the new GT Two. I have Done & Dusted SI, but not used it much. TW Hybrid Sealant Wax also good, and cheap. No show from CarPro or Gyeon products??
I love the Shinee Wax. Makes my white Tacoma POP with gloss. Great stuff. I got lucky and bought their newer version before they stopped selling it here in the USA.
Wax Planet Expression has been my quick detailer of choice for a while now. £27 for 5 litres so a great value bulk buy. Have to say though I'm tempted to give Tac Shinee wax a try. Thanks for the test Jon. Great work as usual👍
Love these product shootouts! I think Done & Dusted well deserved it's top 2 ranking. I am not surprised it scores top for gloss. I was surprised you found regular DD more slick than DDsi, to the touch I find DDsi very slick. Also I cannot imagine a product could be easier to use than either in their genre, I wasn't expecting you to rank DDsi so poorly there. Although I suspect a given the very easiest to apply were the non-SiO2 products.
I seem to recall buying DDsi based on a recommendation from this channel as it was the best, now it's way down the list. I agree with you that I find DDsi incredibly easy to apply and leaves the car like silk so am also surprised where it ended up on the list. Granted I've not used the higher rated products, if they really are better then they must be amazing!
Great video John. The result of a lot of work. My only gripe is I would like to have seen BSD. We all know it's essentially a spray sealant but it's marketed as a QD. I still rate it extremely highly for beading, looks and durability and it's insane value when mixed 1:1 with water ... which improves it's ease of use but doesn't seem to compromise longevity.
@@dimmacommunication It works really nicely - much easier to use and still lasts for more than 3 months. Alternatively, I use it neat on wet car - this also waters it down and is a nice way to dry and shine!
Hey man. I've been watching on / off for quite a while now (love the vids). I just wanted to say thank you, for not only taking the time for these tests but having the foresight to share. Absolute legend!
Great video as always mate. I've been using and experimenting with AG Prizm for some time and there's a few things I've noticed that may be relevant - firstly the hydrophobicity appears to dramatically improve after a 2nd application/top-up. The same applies to the slickness. I was a little disappointed the first time I used it but layering and allowing some time for some form of curing (dispite no mention of this on the label) seems to dramatically improve the performance! I've also found this very friendly to use in the sun (within reason) when applied lightly onto a low-pile towel. Smell great too! Still often reach for the trusty old original £10 bottle of AngelWax QED too, as I find that still performs incredibly well across all areas.
I had bought the tac systems shinee wax 2 weeks ago after watching your video saying how much gloss it gave the car and I’m very happy with it , I drove the car in the rain and it looked so clean afterwards I am impressed with it 👍 I am using it on top of megs ceramic wax. One detailer I think you should have tried is megs X press wax it’s very good
Woild be nice to see autofinesse finale, i really like autofinesse i know alot of people dont but theyre very good proucts and i think they should be included in these shootouts mote often
This video woke me up at midnight when my laptop decided to just randomly start playing your video (whilst on sleep and closed). I've got to watch it now.
Hi bro..II'm from India. I'm also doing auto detailing ...I already saw your video about karcher K7 upgrade...Based on this, may I upgrade my Karcher K5 premium pressure washer.
Hi Jon, I just wanted to thank you for your “detailed” work! I have been watching your channel since the pandemic started, subscribed recently and have enjoyed it thoroughly. This is my first comment on RU-vid, ever. Hooray! All the best from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Superb as always :) I have missed a nice QD after a wash on my cerami-coated car, I am still Britemax Remax as an topper, but wanted something a little bit "ligther" so grabbed a bottle of Megs HCD, and I am very pleased with it. Use it on the non-cearmi-coated car as well with good outcome. Feels like I am stepping more and more away from Sonax BSD to this, mainly due to the grabiness. Cheers from Norway
Thanks John for the sheer amount of work you've put into this video! I had a Halfruauds voucher so went down to find any of the top three. They're selling the Meguiars hybrid ceramic at £16 but with 20% off at the till = £12.80. not sure how long the offer will last though.
I was interested to see how the graphene spray faired against the rest. Would love to see how the very expensive graphene coating compares to a ceramics! Great content as always. It feels like I’ve spent many hours hanging out in your garage lol
Nice. Thanks for that, it’s very appreciated. Shine wax was on the list, but now it made the top👍. I was going to say that the ech2o from car pro has been very economical for me so far, is it the best? Probably not but it’s very cheap
Being aprehensive of EZ car care because of the price but their nano labs quick detailer is very good, especially considering the price, would love to see you review the nano labs compound and polish 👌
Well spend 14 min of my life Learning a lot And Huge Thank you for your time, recording, spraying, testing and Editing for all of us, can’t say enough Thanks, Splendid job. And great advices at the end 👍🏼 Wondering why was Angel wax not easy to use ?
I talk about this on the backup channel actually. The instructions require it to only be used on a wet car. And thats not what a quick detailer is for really. So its more a drying aid.
Amazing effort! Thank you Jon. I wish you would have included the Soft99 Fusso Coat Speed & Barrier and the Sonax Xtreme Brilliant Shine detailer. What do you think of these 2 products? Both go very well with Soft99 Fusso Coat synthetic wax.
been using tac shinee for a while! great product. But yes avoid sun/hot panels. it is my go-to detailer together with onitsarse purple glaze which I also find super easy/slick to use
Yah first time using shinee wax where I had some streaking and it just wouldn't go away on my Windows. The hot weather just have had something to do with it. Lesson learned
Meguiars last touch, cheap, can be diluted, smells great, easy to work with and good results or the Meguiars D156 X Press spray wax, has multiple uses and smells great 👍
I agree. It's a very versatile product. I use to cut down BSD (60/40) and mixture is my go to as drying aid or rinseless wash. LT adds slickness and leaves an antistatic finish.
I have been chasing gloss and slickness for my White BMW X2 for the last 8 months now. Bought GT SIGMA last week and I will never buy any other product again. It's absolutely phenomenal. 👌👏🏴
Good afternoon.Thank you so much for the great video.There is a question - If applied Shinee Wax on top of the Glaze, will it damage the glaze? The description says that it is a water-based Wax .Thanks in advance)
Taking advantage of this cooler Hurricane weather in South Florida to polish my car. Hopefully the humidity drops a bit more so I can put down Car pro cquarts uk 3.0. !!
Great channel watch it regularly good advice John starting valeting company up brought a lot of products on your testing and recommendations good product and equipment 😊
Absolutely agree. I've tried BSD - Excellent, but GT Two Sigma slapped me in the face with how good it is! Gloss, Ease of use, lengthy protection. Killer Product.
Another brilliant video Jon but I have to say please choose a different colour bonnet if you can, the beading and sheeting results were not easy to see on that colour 😬
Nice review. Concise and not to long. I'll be keeping a look out for some Shinee Wax too add to the amoury. Been using a variety of EZ Car Care products of late as they've had some terrific savings on their range online. You never seem to cover any of their stuff. Any reason you don't?
He couldn’t put it in otherwise would just be an unfair test, these other detail sprays need a chance don’t they? Aha and he talks about price, sonax is 7.99 for 750ml, and I Gary tee it blows all these out the water apart from on slickness, it’s a MONSTER product
The clue is kind of in the name.... sonax brilliant shine detailer.... 😂 wouldn’t really matter if it wasn’t, doesn’t seem like he was exclusively comparing “quick detailer” anyway, he’s got a few spray waxes in there, ceramic detailers, gloss enhancers etc If you read the bottle they definitely market it as a detail spray, but they do say it adds water beading protection
I'm a Sonax BSD user but tried the Tac Systems offering on the back of this review. The BSD beads for longer and gives 98% of the shine for a fraction of the price. I think the Tac gives a bit more gloss and does feel slicker but the fact it doesn't bead as long as the BSD for more money means I'll be going back to Sonax.
Love megs HCWQD. Love the full HCW too. This depends on where you live, but availability is a factor. Here in Seattle area, all the Megs pl products are easy to find.
The value per literection is only really valid for UK viewers since you in the US can pick up Meg´s products cheap, while to us in Finland they are, albeit easy to find, really really expensive.
@@jtks4490. ONR is my rinse less wash l use it all the time. Sorry except in mid winter as it has its limitations. But I have never scratched a car ever in 11 years of using it. Leaves a really nice finish too. Are you a member of Detailing World? Took the whole community by storm Ten years ago. Optimum No Rinse.
@@kinnonmcallister nice. No, not a member of DW. I've heard of ONR just never used it. No reason (now) as I have lots of the WG product left. They're probably similar. WG has lots of lubrication + SIO2. Nice shine, no streaks, quick and easy to get a car done. I use it just like a quick detailer.
Jon I bought the tac systems shinee wax after your recommendation a while back and just wondered how long do you think it will last after each wash using car Chem super suds ? Do I need to re apply shinee wax after each wash or will it last a while on the car ? Thanks
Jon, quick question. Do you have a rec for a first DA machine polisher? The DAS 6 Pro you have recommended in the past is not longer sold by into detailing. Many thanks mate. Great channel.
I'd like to see these against the rinseless/waterless watch concentrates diluted to QD ratios like Ultima, Uber, ONR, EcH2O with cost comparison, I don't bother with QD sprays any more.
I've used Megs Ceramic Detailer on my CSL coated car for a drying aid. Slickness, gloss, and hydrophobics are top notch. And the smell is intoxicating. WaxMode on youtube got me try it and I've been quite happy with it.
you maybe should consider getting an Amazon shop stateside...been a few times I've made purchases off your recommendations and I'm probably not the only one...
Hello Jon I get through about a bottle of meguiars ceramic detailer a month, I find the stuff better than most for some reason! Have you ever tried meguiars D15601? I know it's more traditional than the ceramic but was wondering your thoughts on it.
Thank you, I might give it a go, see how it looks on the car, having a medium blue Honda it seems to really show any product left behind and is so soft it swirls and holograms very easily.. Hexlogic green pads and meg 205 or either of the aio's I have correct it easily. It's just keeping it looking nice is the tricky bit 👍🏻
RDS would do well in this test. Why because its well priced and does everything well. It would not be as durable as shiny wax or the megs product perhaps.. RDS won a detail spray comparison I did a few years back.
