Thanks for the update. As you noted the lack of hand washing, and the car wash chemicals, it’s a tough job for a sealant. This customer would be a great candidate for a ceramic coating.
I’m trying to work her into one but she’s old school and her dad always told her to wax twice a year and she rarely wants to break out of that rut. I’ve been putting more durable products on each time seeing how they respond to being outdoors and not ideally maintained. My concern is the water spotting issue and I don’t want to put something on there that creates a bigger issue for her in the long term. The most I’d do is a 12 month coating I think
@@attention2detailswchelseaplease try NXTZEN 365 for a review. It’s 70$ a bottle but you can get 10-12 cars out of it. And it actually lasts over a year in harsh weather. You mix the activator in and then keep it in the freezer. Very easy to use(easier than a lot of detail sprays). In my opinion it’s the perfect all around coating. You apply it similar to the synergy in that you keep working it in but keep going until it’s starting to flash off then use another towel to final buff. I would love to see you do a review on that and their Elite self healing coating. I feel like a lot of people are missing out.
I have been using Vonixx Synergy Paint on customer cars for the past eight months. It’s a terrific spray on wipe off paint sealant. I was using Griots 3-In-1 Ceramic Wax but the Vonixx Synergy lasts longer. After I wash, decontaminate and clay the vehicle I do a thorough wipe down with paint prep. Then I apply the Synergy Paint and let it cure for 24-hours before getting wet. The results are outstanding. Vonixx is making some excellent detailing products.
I do rinseless by DIY Detail twice a week. My base layer is Griots All in One Ceramic applied via machine. My topper after every rinseless is Turtle Wax No Streak Spray Wax. Great gloss, slickness and sacrificial water beading layer.
Chelsea I wanna say thank you. I watch all of your videos and I learned from you that I needed to use water spot remover on my ceramic coating. For the past year I truly believed that my coating failed only after 2 years and it's rated for 9 years. I am truly shocked by the way the water spot remover has 100% brought my coating and hydroponics completely back. It went from flat and slow moving water to all beading. I used diy details water spot remover. Thanks for your help and everything you do 🙏
I agree with you about this product. I put this on my mother’s Lincoln. I re-applied at 6months. It was still going strong and car is left outside. Impressive
Yep I’m testing 23 International Spray Products & when they got weak, a water spot treatment brought them all back. Ten weeks in, they are all doing fine. Clogging is real. Thx!
One product that really got me to switch from these spray sealants is Can Coat. It's so easy to apply too. I'm interested in Adam's Graphene Spray Coating, but honestly Can Coat is hard to beat. Thanks for the video.
I have tried can coat and the adams grahpine spray sealant. They are both great honestly I used the Adam's on my dads car about 6 months ago. He hardly maintains it and I washed it the other day with kcx gental snow foam and it was beading up very well.
@@miscellaneous5215I'd say it's very close. My father doesn't use his car a ton and it's garage kept so could be a reason why it's held up so well. I did a friends car with can coat last year and after 8 months it's totally dead. But his car is kept outside driven a ton and totally neglected so yea.
If you want to try something different, try mixing the Carpro Echo/ Reload mix but substitute Reload with P&S Defender.. The gloss and slickness are amazing, especially on a polished or coated car , you'll lose a bit of the hydrophobic's and it will sheet more but if you love out and out gloss you'll love it.
Chelsea! I've had great results with this Sinergy Paint! Did a BMW M5 and 7 months in was holding up great.. weekly car washes down at our local hand wash place. Idk what they use but I was happy! Great video
Chelsea, Thanks for sharing another great video. There are always new products coming out with various claims so it's nice to see them in action especially on daily drivers that sit out. We all have one or two sitting outside.
I really like Vonix products. My favorite is Delet. I might be getting this one. The Mckees acid-free work worked excellent. Wow. I'm with you. I like tremendous hydrophobics. Freak out when it's not. Fun video. Thanks.
Chelsea water spot remover is legit. Mohs on my roof and hood was dead at one year. Used Maniac water spot remover and it was like day one all over. For my other vehicle I've really liked Ethos Resist. Says 12 months, but ti's so easy to apply I do it every 3-4. Have you considered something like the $15 No-Hype coating for her? Brad was a guest on JTC's podcast a couple of weeks ago. They're just smaller bottles of his Fat Beads and Graph-X coatings. $15 & $30.
I did a live a few weeks back and the viewers actually requested Meguiars Hybrid Paint Coating so I applied that after this and we’ll be testing that next when I see it in the fall. Hopefully her health issues are resolved and I continue to see the vehicle for her.
Not really short term, but Seal & Shine is the absolute best spray sealant 😃... Cheap and probably the most chemical resistant spray sealant on the market. Love your channel! Keep up the grind.🤘
845 is great on silvers and lighter cars, in the Uk most top up afterwards with merzerna powerlock but in the states you have jescar ultralock plus which is similar to merzerna but on steroids. For a light weight ceramic loom in tac system moonlight it's the real deal I have it in my car and self cleaning abilities are strong plus its oil based as well not sure if it readily available in the states, find out from supplier to see if they could sell some in the states, very underated product @@attention2detailswchelsea
Hi Chelsea, I can tell you the Vonixx Synergy Paint will last 6 months in real world use as you describe with this customer. I use it myself on my own car.
If the descale would have brought back signs of life I would have given it a shot but everything was so flat I didn’t see the need but it’s always a thought when I see stuff like this happen
Best Short Term? Not sure what that exactly is, but the Product I like to use that I can get a good 3 months out of and is SUPER easy to apply is Technicians Choice Graphene Detail Spray. Hands down best bang for the buck on the market. You apply this at least once a month on your car and its all you will ever really need. "In the Real World".
Have you used Stoner ceramic hybrid spray wax? I have used it on our suv and it really works. Our car is outside all the time and we live on the edge of Atlantic coast. Just saying. 🇨🇦👍👍
Yes I wear them all the time for soccer games that are wet and for detailing in the winter. I normally wear flip flops in the summer cause I’m a FL girl at heart but still wear them to detail when it’s not too hot.
Great video Chelsea. I was going to ask you, I saw one of your videos that you mentioned the meguires plus to remove any waxes but I forgot which video was. Do you have the link on how to use that product and also I have an 2007 Scion tc what do you recommend to bring the color back on the panels thank you again
Still use several of them for every detail. Dark Fury, Pink Perfection, zap it, their heavy duty does it all, leather cleaner and road warrior are still heavily used at my shop
I was looking at some car's the other day(car yard) and they looked good paint wise BUT the black trims were hammered! From the local car wash chemicals sad to see you have to buy a car only then to fix this issue.
@attention2detailswchelsea Dallas Paint Correction Rinse and Seal Concentrate. It is 40 dollars for a 4oz bottle but you can dilute...thanks for the response
My question is, what will aid the longevity of an lsp, snow then contact wash (mostly with pH neutral shampoos) or rinseless (a less aggressive one)? Or is that a 'who the hell knows?'
I think either would work the key is not to let too much time lapse between a contact wash. The longer dirt and contaminants sit on the lsp the more time they have to accumulate making them harder to remove or allows them to weaken the protection based on their base or acidic nature .
How long have you been using this sealant and what are the average results? As in durability over a couple months because I know it claims 12 months but that’s usually not the case
It shouldn’t nuke it but could weaken it slightly if it’s already weakened hence why I rinsed it first to see what was going on but it does help remove water spots that can hinder protection
lol nothing is going to last on that car since it goes to Auto Bell Once every 3 months. Might as well put the big dog McKee's coating on there and hope for the best or try a budget friendly 9H coating like Gyeon Pure EVO. It's very forgiving to work with and long flash times. Lots of gloss.
@@attention2detailswchelsea Soft99 Fusso coat dark might be a good choice for her car since she likes waxes and sealants. Claimed 12 month protection and very good hydrophobics. I have some on a test hood behind the house.
That hood shot was on point!! I love seeing that! This is how real detailers work things out and learn to problem solve!

Chelsea, Thanks for sharing another great video. There are always new products coming out with various claims so it's nice to see them in action especially on daily drivers that sit out. We all have one or two sitting outside.
It’s probably a lot of the pollen. When pollen gets wet it is acidic and can clog the coating
I really like Vonix products. My favorite is Delet. I might be getting this one. The Mckees acid-free work worked excellent. Wow. I'm with you. I like tremendous hydrophobics. Freak out when it's not. Fun video. Thanks.
I just took photos of my hood after the rain storm last night. It has the synergy and tec 582 on it. Haven't washed it in 2 months and still beads.
Looking forward to seeing this
Great video! The explanation about the bonded contaminants was perfect!
This car looks alot like the car on DIY DETAIL video i just watch about 2 hours ago!
I had to go watch that video. LoL. It was a Kia.
Awesome job Chelsea and that car really looks good
Amazing video!!
Fast waterspot FTW. So glad I got the gallon lol
IMO you need to shake the bottle regularly

SnS is the og. I use No Streak Minute Wax by Turtle Wax. Great topper if you do regular maintenance.
You should check out ethos finish shine. Very cheap 50$ a gallon and very good durability and easy to use. No streaks and works great as a drying aid.
@@402car_kid4 heard good stuff bout ethos too.
Hello everyone 👋 🇨🇦
I'm testing ethos ceramic speed Wax currently let's see if it's comparable to this
Try it TW Seal & Shine. And compare it. For me it works great and cheap for the price.
Collinite 845 also lasts 7 plus months - have you considered testing its durability? It’s a glossy product & isn’t prone to water spotting.
I’ll add that to the list!
845 is great on silvers and lighter cars, in the Uk most top up afterwards with merzerna powerlock but in the states you have jescar ultralock plus which is similar to merzerna but on steroids.

Ever heard of applying a coating in the direction of water flow, like from side windows down and windshield to grill? Sorry for all the questions.
I normally apply in a cross hatch pattern
Couldn’t reset have managed the paintwork? I may be wrong but, I assumed reset was the “go to” for unclogging protection to some degree..
It could have helped with road film but for waterspots descale is better suited
