    I picked a 5l autosmart aqua seal pro few years back for my work van im in for 99% of my time, 30ml to 470ml water in snowfoam cannon leave a few mins, rinse and towel dry off. Lasts at least 6 weeks every day driving with lots of country roads. Have way over half left. If this product is as good as that and lasts longer its a winner

    Not sold as a detailer but synthetic spray wax by ADBL is about 40 bucks for 5 Liter but it’s highly concentrated and you can dilute it down to 1:5 or even 1:10 and it’s still effective.
    It can also be used in many different ways. As a stand alone sealant, topper on existing coatings, drying aid/quick detailer and even as a wet coating.
    It’s also one of the most hydrophobic sealants I’ve ever used. Highly recommend you try it out if you can get your hands on it.

      they dont have reliable distribution in the UK last time someone mentioned this product a few months back I looked for it but it was out of stock. I check now and ADBL UK still dont have it in stock in any size. All the previous Polish brands in the UK are folding and withdrawing from the UK. Ive said this before. We are 5000000% over saturated with detailing brands. ADBL have no social media presence or drive, no marketing here in the UK, none of the online distributors we all ship through (cyc, in2d, c&s, UF, PB etc) have picked up the brand. Im a persistent guy I will keep an eye out for it but its just hard to test this stuff when its not available and I cant buy it when shopping for other stuff so I have to pay shipping for just one thing.

    Have a look at AutoPerfekt QD Jon if you’re doing a mega test.
    Bit like Bouncers D&D (the original green one) but slightly better looks slightly easier to use and much less prone to streaking which Bouncers could.
    Beads for around 3-4 weeks stand alone so it’s a nice QD for tidying panels without leaving loads of protection behind that lasts months

    We use Autosmart Cobalt+ to top up our showroom stock. Also in our valet bay's arsenal, we have 'Cherry Glaze', their pink PDI quick wax that we use on new cars fresh from the factory. And for preparing used stock or valeting service-customers' cars we use 'Platinum', my personal favourite 'AIO'. All these products are fantastic. They do what they are supposed to do, efficiently and effectively. Nothing more, nothing less.

      im sort of thinking a satin dull gold centre instead of the bronze and then powder coat the inside and bare metal the lip (OEM).

      I think the name Rapid Glaze is to pay homage to the old Re-Glaze quick detailer they used to sell back in the mid 00s. Anybody thats been a long time user of Autosmart has fond memories of Re-Glaze. I believe it was one of, if not the first Quick detailers manufactured by a UK company. If you like Cobalt, you'll love Rapid Glaze as its like a supercharged version.

    Have waxes seen there days now that there are so many rinse aids / QD type products that leave such a nice shine/protection? Been using polar seal at the end of each wash for years as its so so cheap, I've had 1 bottle for that entire period.. Every time the car looks amazing and beads for weeks after.. I only really get the wax products out now when i fancy spending a bit more time on the car, but general just for the fun of it rather than for much in the wax of extra shine or protection.

      yer the panel was totally dead prior to application. but I think if you apply it ontop of a sealant it might boost. but I will test it in group test on polish prep'd and panel wipes test panel so we get a proper comparison. but does not look very hydrophobic, so maybe not a bead monster.

    Looks like a great value product, would be interesting to see the durability. There are two categories for me:
    1) True quick detailer that I can use as a drying aid, wiping off some dribbles from the wing mirror etc. I just want it to be slick, boost gloss slightly (maybe) and be cheap.
    2) Ceramic spray sealant that I can use for 6 months - 1 year of protection (depending on conditions). Again be usable as a drying aid to save having to dry the car THEN apply the sealant. Must also have good gloss and hydrophobics.
    Ideally a product would have the durability, gloss and hydrophobics of (2) but the price of (1) haha.

    Really great to see you reviewing Autosmart products John, there’s a real snobbery within the detailing community towards the brand.
    Too many detailers have made an effort to create a distance between themselves and the bog standard valeter, who typically uses AS products.
    As a weekend warrior it’s fun getting the nice smelling and brightly packaged products, but when it comes to making money from cleaning cars it’s hard to see past AS. I’d say between them, and Bilt Hamber, you don’t really need another brand.
    I’d like to see you review their Aquaseal pro. I think it’s the best SIO2 sealant that can be applied through the foam lance👍

    Why are the British detailers better to watch than the Yanks?
    Is it because they won't push their mum under a bus to make money?
    They tell the truth?
    American attitude "everyone for themselves"

      not sure we are better mate. Most UK detailing channels are dying off now theres not many doing it over here. And I think USA viewers dont generally receive UK channels to well. Much easier to do you tube in the USA, the audience pool is vast and receptive. Review meguiars, CG, TW etc... and do millions of views.

      ​@@ForensicDetailingI'd rather watch the British channels over the USA channels.
