To prevent the trigger from clogging, you can try turning the bottle upsidedown and give a couple of sprays to clear the nozzle, before putting it away. It can help.
Lustrous now comes with 2 x triggers and a dispenser cap, we are currently sourcing some different bottles and triggers/dispenser caps. Also Lustrous now as new labels with better clearer instructions, since we have taken over the SiRamik brand. We also have a 100ml size in the pipeline. Thank you all for your support.

Always good to see new stuff in the detailing market competition. It looks like they have potential, if they keep doing good they'll expand and sooner or later we'll also get this in EU like other brands
Applied this to my car in August, washed it for the first time yesterday and the beading is brilliant no point in prewashing as the snowfoam just beaded right of. And i found it a doddle to apply with a rag company no soak applicator. Made sure to remove the trigger when finished and put a cap back on and have had no problems with it hardening off in the bottle.
Nice to see someone else’s review of the product as I’ve not seen this before, definitely looks like something that would be of use to as I don’t wash the car religiously
@@ForensicDetailing I was talking about reecehandley4662 experience of using the product Jon, not sure if there are any links as it’s just what he’s written above in his comment.
This, ADS Ceramic Spray Sealant and the Collinite Beadcoat have given me a renewed interest in spray sealants. Can Coat is the only product that moved me away from them. The coating "lite" products as some call them kind of meet that middle ground between sealant and full blown coating. I find most end up spending too much time unclogging their full blown ceramic coating, that inevitably breaks down by year 3 anyway (useful life of coating). However, periodic application isn't a problem for me so I'm tempted to try one of these. Of course even more simple is the great Gyeon Wet Coat. This damn rabbit hole LOL. Jon thanks for keeping it real. Becoming harder and harder to find true reviews now that we're living in the age of YoutTube detailer product lines.
I’ve been using SPS Graphene Detailer. You Can get it in a 16oz and gallon. Durability is supposedly 3-6 months. It’s extremely easy to use and beads up really well. I picked an installer price instead of the consumer priced version for a gallon. That’s how much I like it. Even it direct sun, works well! It’s my go to now.
I bought this recently and was going to wait until I polished but I though I’d give it a try as a quick spray sealant normal car wash and panel wipe, no clay not chemical Decon. It’s been on a month and same as the first day but the beading isn’t as good as wet coat. I will polish next time it clearly needs a full decon to work best. Hopefully gets me through till I polish.
I love 303 graphene nano spray sealant spray, i did a coat on my focus in May after a decon, sprayed it on a dry clean car, and it is amazing and it still going strong, i wash every third week(i don't drive far or often) and if i feel i need to top it, i bought the graphene spray detailer from 303, i have a vapor silver car and it makes my color warm and glossy and the beading of water is insane! Plus, my poor car sits outside 24/7 so i like that graphene lowers the temp to the paint to an extent, it helps with UV protection too, which my 16 year old car doesn't need anymore damage from the sun!
In sweden we use both petroleum based degreaser eg tar, oil, etc and road salt, and alkaline degreasers in winter so not much survives more than couple of weeks or 2 max 3 washes. Yet to see anything that is not a proper coating that survives a winter. 😅
Incredible stuff this. My car was coated with CQuartz UK 3.0 end of March and i applied this stuff to 1 side of the car and bonnet last month to see how it reacted. The stuff is amazing, almost think it's better the the CQuartz. Gloss and beading is off the scale. It was so good, i applied it to the rest of the car yesterday. I'm not a fan of topping coatings as i believe its 'pointless' but this stuff has changed my mind. Sprayed into a short pile microfiber cloth wipped over the panel and it almost flashed off. Wiped over again with a high pile and the slickness is unmatched. A few disadvantages, triggers are terrible. Product is rather strong and clogs triggers so need to mess around with rinsing triggers out when finished. Product has a shelf life of 18-24 months. Needs to be shaken once a month. Possibly the price?? And low stock although dont think they could cope with the demand if it was to explode in popularity.
Hiya, it looks like there's a lock on for the spray nozzle? Maybe it's not dried up, but just the spray lock is on. Try flipping the little tab under the nozzle to the side and try again... hoping this is right and helps 🤞
I got to test a solvent version of Car pro reload 2.0 that was being tested by someone I know in Scotland 🏴 was very durable but beaded very well 👌🏻
Armour Detail Supply have brought out Phobic, theirs is 90ml for £75 and a claimed durability of 1-2 years, quite a bit more expensive than this but could be a good comparison 😉
I’m sure it’s a great product John, but why on earth do so many detailing product companies use those terrible sprayers? Not surprised when you first went to test the sprayer that it was blocked up. They are cheap, horrible to use and useless at spraying for long periods. It’s quite staggering really, especially when they are charging strong money for the bottle in the first place. Poor attention to the product as a whole.😤
Always like your videos and value your opinion on products. Looking forward to your video on Wet Mirror Finish. It’s my easy go to polish in South Australia due to the UV blocker.
I don't know, there's something to say about Graphene spray coatings that last 12 months, that people over look?? I have bad knees and although i enjoy caring for my car, it's a struggle for me so i love the fact i can apply my 303 and it is easy to maintain and top when needed and i get awesome beading for months and months!!! I would stick with your graphene spray sealant put in a new sprayer and call it good!
I have something on this and other products testing the strip wash total remover. not the same thing I know but you can degrade both this and cancoat quite a lot with the total remover. which you think might be normal but some other formats resisted it better. but the durability of lustrious is really good if you wash it with normal chems. I talk about this more on the channel soon. the whole subject of durability under chemical load.
Im looking forward to your review of Clean by Pan The Organizer if you review his new products once they hit the UK from what ive seen they look ffantastic products
I hope it doesn't replace the Collinite, especially as I finally managed to get hold of both the 100 and 150 recently! Regarding the product solidifying in the trigger, I guess removing the trigger after application (and expelling remaining expensive product from the trigger back into the bottle) and putting a cap on the bottle would solve that issue.......not sure if a separate cap is supplied?
:) my collenite just turned up and now I gotta get this! :) although they are both LSP this is a bit more of a hardcore solvent carried base sealant. either will serve you well. the lustrious you would perhaps go for after full prep. the colly you can use a bit more casually perhaps.
Hi Jon, great video! Slightly off topic, where do you buy your microfibres from & which ones are they? The link you provide in your videos are not the same as I see you use. Thanks
Jon, you’re like Jamie Oliver was for Sainsbury’s. Whatever he cooked mid week, wouldn’t be on the shelves on a Saturday. It’s out of stock already ☹️☹️☹️
Iv been really intrigued by SiRamik but I currently use the Auto Finesse Graphene paste wax on my white Porsche - any chance you could do a side by side review please
I wonder what the SIramics would be like against BH Touch-Less at 2% as that’s what I use every other week to do the prewash. Brilliant video Jon, as that durability is unbelievable against very good competition
@@WEZ4136 v2 is the version I have. But as can be seen from Jons testing it still more chemical resistant than anything else. I don’t think there’s any change other than the carrier with the latest versions so it doesn’t evaporate as quick
@@Justin-ny6un the new version is just more concentrated I think, but this is definitely on my next to buy list, right at the top as one application should mean far less applications of wet coat after a wash.
no fair question mate. it does yer but its not the trigger lock. its unlocked and the trigger works fine first application but after that it ceases up I think the resin is setting in the trigger so maybe empty the chamber after use might help but that can be a bit messy
What’s better £45 and one application in 8 months or £20 with an application every 4-6 weeks or less if you use a Ph12 product and have to reapply each time
@@staceybirch5716 For what reason other than to keep beading decent? I used to years ago with wax but after doing 20k miles a year, I honestly hate spending time applying stuff frequently now. Just wash and done. I don’t enjoy detailing like I used to, but still want to keep car in good condition. Also with soft paint I’d prefer to touch it as little as possible. Even so, it’s still not expensive considering application frequency and longevity in comparison. Only the initial purchase price is.
@@Justin-ny6un it's just a fact that most people, even those with ceramic coatings, can't just leave it at a wash and dry... most definitely apply some kind of drying aid or detailer afterwards.
Genuine question, I've been using lots of sio2 / graphene / sprays and ceramic shampoos recomended and reviewd on this channel on my new car now for a out 12 weeks, do these products help the dirt not to stick, or make the car easier to clean or is it purely it looks good when it rains 😂
Dirt - perhaps a little bit, although coatings are the king of that. But its more to reduce contamination over time. that dry rough feel from fallout and stuff.
@@ForensicDetailing Is there any way to thin this out with a solvent or even water to stretch it further? Would be quite an interesting test vid to see how ratios of products perform... cozzy lives etc.
I know I know.... :)
To prevent the trigger from clogging, you can try turning the bottle upsidedown and give a couple of sprays to clear the nozzle, before putting it away. It can help.
yer clear the nozzle out like you say. but I think like a little cap lid with small hole that tac moonlight has would also work well.
