i have been waiting for a good video on this product for sooooo long! Have Been using it in our shop for 6 month now, just deconed our first car and performance is still amazing. The best part is instant cure time, and crazy slickness! I really do think this product is the best spray on the market at the moment, along with jade jet. We buy empty 20ml sprayers off amazon and fill them right before the job. Throw out after, never have clogged sprayers and each worker can have their own sprayer. 20-40ml per car depending on size.
Really awesome to hear a field report on this, because obviously synthetic tests don't always tell the full picture. Great to hear it's performing well after 6 months, and survived the decon. That's already a big thing many of these super easy sprays can't do. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
The fact this spray sealant beat 8 of the 14 dedicated ceramic coatings that you've tested in durability is truly industry disrupting (yeah, I said it).
That's incredible durability! I'm very curious to see how it does long term in the real world and also how the companies other products perform. Thanks Dimitry!
This was the best coating in Scott’s coating challenges. (Not the spray but one of their coatings) Back then it was an under a different name as it wasn’t available in the US at the time. Once they decided to hit the US market they changed the name to what it is now. It was called NGNT Pro before they came to the states
Good to see others are having similar results with Diamond ProTech products. They did rebrand at one point, I think we talked about that in the interview video.
Yea the other recent videos are already using it, this one just hung out a bit longer for editing because I didn't want to release too many videos from one manufacturer in a row and make it boring.
Great review as always! Do you have plans to test Griot's Garage Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax? I’ve seen many tests were when matched up against many other spray sealants it always comes out on top, as far as durability.
I've tested the 3-in-1 in the past, though it was with my older test suite before we got this elcometer. I don't think the two products are in the same league as far as durability. Griots isn't a bad product, but its a much more traditional silica sealant as far as it's characteristics. Granted it's also been a couple of years so maybe formulas changed.
Great video as usual. I'd suggest that you add a road grime resistance test in combination with the wash. Some products offer great durability but can get clogged too easily ruining its water repellency after just a short drive on dirty roads. Even jet washing can't get rid of the dirt and you need to use either APC or a contact wash to restore it's characteristics.
Thanks! I am looking into this as well, I'm looking at options for something consistent that I can use so that the testing is uniform. Hopefully something I can do soon!
Awesome Vid! I have been using ceramic sprays, most recent was Adams Graphine Ceramic Coating Advance and i like it but have been considering something that stays slick for a longer time, i will say Adams is pretty durable at least as a once-a-year coating, i did take a look at your test results page (very awesome btw!) I like how durable and slick this product is. If i decide to purchase i will use your affiliate link. Thanks!
Thanks for the vote of confidence :)! The Adams Graphene Advanced is an excellent spray. It should perform better than a year in my experience, so I'm not surprised you're having good results. I'm sure you'd like this product too, it is quite a bit easier to apply in my opinion.
great review like always but I just looked the price on Amazon and it's $60. A bit too much. Anyway, great videos like always. I don't get a product unless you review it first, so I'll keep my eye out to see if prices come down. Thanks!!!!!
Glad you're enjoying my reviews! Yea the bigger bottle is $60, the small one is $30. I think given the durability over so many other sprays it's still quite an attractive price point.
I still do them, you can see the score at the end or on the website. It was just the most skipped segment since we never got interesting results. Im working up a different test to see how these protect from contact with oxidizers with UV acting almost like a supercharger for those chemicals. For instance water and UV is a worse combination than just UV as a general rule, or bleach speeds up with UV as well.
I like your thinking =), though apple slices may be tough to coat. Most likely I will just use a base paint with and without out clear coat. The UV oven I have bakes the color out of it so quickly without clear coat, takes a lot longer with clear coat. Then that can be compared to the oxidation protection clear coat gives, the coating gives, and clear + coating give, as well as relevant controls. If there are interesting results the testing may change. I suspect this is the nature of the protection these products can realistically provide, i.e. keeping water off your paint so it's not being supercharged by UV.
@@DmitrysGarage from what I've gathered, the sealant or coating protects clear coat from oxidation, which preserves the clear coat's ability to block UV. So maybe there's a test to see how well the coatings prevent oxidation without involving UV. Just a thought.
That is also a part of the mechanism yes, to avoid abrasion and oxidation of the clear coat. Oxidation is generally sped up by UV which is I suspect where part of the UV claim comes from and part from preserving the clear coat. I am looking at other oxidation related test it's just oxidation can be real slow without UV unless you're using real harsh stuff hah.
@DmitrysGarage I've only really used Seal n Shine on my car. I live up north and get tons of salt so everything gets eaten up. My car is already swirl free so I never cared to clay and polish it for a coating, especially since it's always humid in Cleveland. I think I might actually get cancoat and do a few panels one day and then a few another day!
I'm hoping more viewers who have used the product chime in with experiences long term. It's possible the product degrades environmentally over time. My testing is an abrasion (durability) test so it shows physical resistance. It's generally a good correlation for longevity, certainly long lasting products are highly durable. It's also possible they're being conservative in their marketing or using the marketing to position this product in a certain niche. Another viewer said they recently did a decon wash on a car they treated 6 months ago and it was still working great. I suspect 6 months is probably a conservative estimate.
Can't really put the test hood into the elcometer unfortunately. I'll try to get better light/angles in future videos though, thanks for letting me know. In this video the durability was so good it is actually hard to see, I agree.
@DmitrysGarage I mean to show off the hydrophobics on it like you did before you got your fancy machines. You use the hood to show application, visual appeal, slickness etc but no beading unless I miss it in the videos? I just miss the way you did it before that's all.. 🙁 Love you.
Yea in the past I did the durability tests by hand so that's why I was showing the hydrophobics that way. I guess I could spray the hood too, but hand washing it just isn't consistent enough and frankly a pain for my aging shoulders haha. Thanks so much for the kind words and I'm so glad you enjoy my videos!
why do diamond protek state 6 months durability on this but you get like 700 washes. 6 months washing car weekly is 24 washes so shouldnt they update the durability stated to at least 2 years or 100 washes minimum. maybe its not very chemical resistant which would drastically degrade its durability? since Diamond protek states only 6 months i cannot commit to getting this as Gyeon cancoat lasts over a year and is just as easy to apply

Yea it genuinely blew me away!
couldnt agree more. More people need to know about this stuff, biggest sleeper product on the market especially considering the cure time.
@@jackle36011 correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is the only spray sealant on the market that contains detonated nano diamonds.
I've not seen another spray yet with nanodiamonds, but so many companies are starting to roll out diamond products that I may just not be aware.
That's incredible durability! I'm very curious to see how it does long term in the real world and also how the companies other products perform. Thanks Dimitry!
I'm super curious too :)
Crazy that it performed so well being so easy to put on.
Yea I was surprised too!

Definitely looking forward to you switching to a black panel. Just casual observation in day-to-day driving I see more black cars than red cars.👍
Yea the other recent videos are already using it, this one just hung out a bit longer for editing because I didn't want to release too many videos from one manufacturer in a row and make it boring.
Dmitry were dying for the Carpro DLight review. Very intrigued if it will do anything against UV.
It's definitely coming =)

I hope you had a good day today, Dmitry!
Thanks! Hope you did too :)
Awesome price and performance. Would like to see a comparison with ADS Phobic.
I agree, definitely impressed with this one. Phobic is already in my hands so I should have a video soon =).
Great video as usual. I'd suggest that you add a road grime resistance test in combination with the wash.

That wash durability is wild
Would be great to compare it to NXTZEN 365 and ADS Phobic
ADS Phobic is definitely on the soon list. NXTZEN 365 I'll have to add a vote for, but it's on the list. Thanks for watching!
Dmitry I have had a bottle sitting in my garage for about a year ,and never used it, guess what I’m going to put on my car this week 🤣
Cool :), let me know how it goes!

Could you do a comparison with Adam’s Advanced Graphene Spray Coating?
I havent tested the advanced version of the graphene spray yet, so I suspect that will be something we'll do in a future video :)
What about the uv test?
I still do them, you can see the score at the end or on the website. It was just the most skipped segment since we never got interesting results. Im working up a different test to see how these protect from contact with oxidizers with UV acting almost like a supercharger for those chemicals.

@@DmitrysGarage perhaps there's some kind of oxidation-susceptible panel that exists. Either that or apple slices.

Can this be compared to the Ethos Ceramic Speed Wax?
Yea absolutely, both are on my website and I have videos for speed wax, it was very recent. dmitrysgarage.com
Do you think Gyeon can coat evo would last longer or this standalone?
I do have a bottle of can coat that I'm meaning to test, so I'll hopefully find out soon!
