Great work. Just seems to me that it’s a lot of work for ceramic coatings and graphene coats to start to fail or be weak after 10 to 12 months. Easier to just do spray coatings when needed. Love my turtle was seal and shine.
coating tend to clog. Scotts hoods are sitting outside in the elements 24/7 I believe and accumulate debri on top that will not always disappear with a wash. I think Scott should implement a WSP/Iron remover at 6 month/1yr mark to see what happens. You can tell water spots are now present.
Gp spray coat is a topper however can be used as a stand alone sealant. For 12 month protection. It’s very good. Remember maintenance is a big part of maintaining a coating. Coatings aren’t just set it and forget it type of things. The right soaps and spray and Decon the car. Etc.. all play in longevity of a product. However I there are some on this list that are just auto store Quality. So keep in mind what you want out of a product and how to maintain it. What a great review and test. Scott
Exactly, however most people in our experience aren't going to maintain it at all. They want a "set it and forget it" type of coating which is how these tests started in the first place.
@@ScottHD thanks Scott. Ya you know and I know There is never a replacement for hard work. Especially when it comes to cleaning a car or keeping it clean. It can be tuff. And your reviews are very important to knowing what works and what don’t thanks Scott keep up great work👍🏻
@@ScottHD As a OptiCoat Pro[5 year version] user on wife's Fiat 500 I can confirm that. User want's to use what was promised. They said wash with PH neutral chemicals and that's all I do. Was for maintaining service[washing and etc] last month, for warranty card enter, after year of use. Still works great on that car.
I applied the Adam's Advanced Coating last fall. I haven't done the "Spring Cleaning" yet. I mean Iron decon, ph neutral soap, etc. But the car has been thru winter, salty, brutal winter driving conditions, still looks good. During the winter, the car got ONR weekly or bi-monthly washes. So far, I am impressed with the shine, mostly washing with ONR. Once winter is over, and I have time, I will thoroughly wash (ph Neutral soap) Iron decon, and add a layer of graphene ceramic spray. But so far it has made it through the first winter.
It wouldn’t let me like this post lol. I think if those sprays lasted 10 months is amazing. We use SPS and love it. Can’t wait for the new formulas thank you for doing this
You should take your top 4 or 5 coatings overall and then do a test on different types of paint. Use the same 5 products across old paint, new paint, same paint but different color. These could just be smaller door panels.
@@ScottHD change of plans Scott. I’m limited to a maintenance wash today as the weather is too good, and the neighbours suggested beers in the common area. I’ll wait a few weeks with the EZ, but will let you know. And that’s for the tip👍👍
I have used the turtle wax flex wax on one of my vehicles, after about 6 to 7 months it starts to become weak and I just reapply another coating to keep it going.
WOW! Congrats Scott 30K+ sub! and jfyi If your like me who wants to save $ and get to know the product before i buy it, this is one of the closest channel you'll see products being tested and compared to...Lets support Scott and his efforts by subscribing and liking the vids.
Awesome video! In my country I have access to the Turtle Wax Spray coatings, what would you recommend from the spray on coatings lineup from them that looks amazing and has longevity
@@ScottHD Thanks do much for the reply Scott, appreciate it. We'll here we have the Tuttle Wax, the Meguires Ceramic spray, and Gyeon Can Coat(which I don't seem to find in your reviews)
@@huzaifavawda8383 I've tested the Gyeon can coat. It is good for 6-9 months or so. The Meguiars hybrid ceramic coating (the aerosol spray) is a good one too.
I bought 2 bottles of the foretoo stuff based on your testing. We'll see how long it lasts for me! Thanks for such a good and comprehensive comparison. Interestingly enough, i applied it to a satin finish, and it's fine... still looks satin-y. I took the risk because I didn't mind a more glossy look, but it didn't seem to change it too much.
Yeah the thing about that product is that even once it wears down, it's not a big ordeal to get it coated again. If it's that easy to get 6 more months out of it, vs one that's a big ordeal to have it recoated, which product do you think people are most likely to keep up on? The best product is the one people will use.
Despite these tests are very useful i have to notice that all these ceramic coatings are not topped with something, so it has no "protection" for the protection! This is how it works!
You are doing great work but I must say, the more videos you put out the harder it is for me to keep up and find the series I am interested in. I want to see a follow up with undrdog pro but I cannot for the life of me find it. The video thumbnails don't help :(
Scott, do you think that tired coatings could be rejuvenated by spraying iron remover, or an acid shampoo or others like carpro spotless 2.0?. It would be good to test to see the result? Especially after 10 months. Thank you
As much as I want to do that, for the purposes of consistency, I won't do it to these tests (done this way since 2015). Watch for my 38 way test update tomorrow or the day after as that is the one exception that I tried an iron decon wash to see if it would help as many of them are failing on this particular test for some reason.
@@ScottHD Thanks for all your videos and time! Your testing helps my mobile detailing business a lot by choosing the products I will purchase & use for my clients. You Rock!
thanks for putting on those decals of when products fail
You're welcome. I should have done that a long time ago!
@@ScottHD hey at least its done now than later
This is the best real world results video on UA-cam. Thanks!
Artdeshine looking awesome
Ethos Resist has been my go to sealant spray for a year. I’m happy it’s performing.

Graphene in my eyes just a huge hype ,praised 👍a stick to the quarts coatings sio2 etc etc 🙃😂
More and more companies jumping on that bandwagon now too.
Whats Next ?? Diamond infuse coating 😂👍🎸☀️

For a spring clean, especially if you had salt on the road, hit it with more acidic prewash before your contact wash.

Foretoo is looking very impressive for a $25 coating!

Great idea!
It's like Vagas, who you got! Can't wait for the results.
IGL EZ looks to be an impressive product. I am applying it later today for the first time myself 👍
Remember it's got to be "leveled" or wiped off quickly. Let me know how it goes for the installation for you!

Yup - that's where the "ease of use" comes in to play. If it gets 6 months or so, most people are happy with that and just reapply.
So far with the products in my area, TW Flex is the best for sure. Im really surprised its not doing better but I may have to order some IGL
Will be great to list them and sort from the best to weakest... in comment :)
EVO pro graphene ceramic coating ( pre production ) doing well 🔥👌
Id like to advocate for an ironx/decon wash at 6m/1yr marks as well in ur tests. Would be very interesting.

Hows it holding up?
Thank you for the test. Is there ETA on windshield glass coatings?
Still looking forward to the windshield testing !!
Working on it. One...at...a..time. LOL. I have 28 to do total, with my free time, I have about 1 a week I'm doing right now. I am past half way there!
Like you, I'm seeing about 6-8 months out of TW Flex Wax in similar conditions. Not bad for something so easy to use.
Agreed

What do you think about McKee's hydro graphene ceramic coating?
Which is the best on your opinion?
Is duracoat graph 6x any good
Thanks!
