NV Car Care Lustre And Jet From The Nova Series! GLOSS OFF THE CHARTS!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Today, we put Nova Lustre and Jet through the Apex Detail Review Process! Nova Lustre is a unique spray coating that creates sharp reflections, epic levels of gloss and the ultimate metallic gloss - all whilst creating an ultra-slick, protective layer on the surface.
This unique blend of SiO2 focuses on enhancing the paintwork, increasing the saturation & clarity of colours and shades. It also has a unique resin that allows Lustre to fill in minor swirling & haze on all paint types.
Lustre doesn't just excel at aesthetic transformation, it also provides excellent protection, resisting harsh environmental contamination, UV rays and provides great self-cleaning properties with an impressive hydrophobic effect. All of these great features will last up to 6 months.
Nova Lustre....nvcarcareusa.c...
Nova Jet is our signature spray coating that really propelled the development of the Nv range. Jet features incredible gloss whilst creating the ultimate hydrophobic effect on automotive surfaces.
When Jet is applied to a surface it becomes so much easier to maintain, whilst also looking fantastic for longer. This is because dirt, contaminants & grime struggle to adhere to the super slick coating - prolonging your washes and keeping your car looking it's best.
When you do go to wash your car, maintenance is just so easy. It won't take much to shift any dirt & grime, and its intense water-beading effect makes washing, rinsing and drying almost effortless.

Fantastic review Brian, thanks for all the work you do for the detailing community!
Nice to see you here Sandro.
I thank Sandro here in Adelaide for putting onto this product, haven't found an equal yet.
Thank YOU! Have you mixed these two together?
@@apexdetail85 HI, yes I always top with Lustre then wait a few hours then top that with Jet. Gives great gloss and protection haven't found anything here that beats this combo yet.
@@brentonl1746 I'm hoping we get it in the UK at some point too, looks like a fantastic combination of products that no one else really offers an equivalent to (yet).
best line... " I do keep this car in decent shape " I wonder what great shape would look like... lol? your car looks awesome Brian
Then my car is complete trash lol
Thanks!
If Sandro and Brian said this products are awesome you best believe it’s the real deal everyone!!!
Sandro made the product lol
Agreed!
@@nicholaspeppas945 Did he? Where did you find that info?
@@nicholaspeppas945 he might have helped but he didnt make it
@@Ayerborne I was asking how he got that info lol
As an Aussie it's great to see NV getting attention, I use lustre as a base coat then apply Jet 2 hours later, use NV boost every few washes to maintain, amazing results
That’s what I do.
Same here James. I'm in Sydney and I purchased both these products after watching Sandro from Car Craft Auto Detailing do a run down on these.. It's one of his favourite products.
I ordered my NV kit from Waxit car care
@@tonymontana897 yeah I done what Sandro done.
He got the best results with Luster topped with jet and then boost.
@@tonymontana897Would it surprise you to know Waxit is actually Nv Car Care?
@@user-vm9ew6nz1r Really ? How did you find that out ?
Aussies represent. Good to see NV making it to the USA.
Just bought these products from waxit
@@James-jn7qp I don't mind lustre.
Nova car care is a great company that manufacture's some great products. You really need to try there Nova Pro Coating, amazing qualities. 👍
Lustre is simply amazing on gloss black duco. Obviously great on any darker colour but it just seems to make black pop like nothing I've ever seen before. You wouldn't believe how proud I was finding out it's from my home town in Melbourne Australia 😁😁😁🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Durability and gloss is outstanding! Nova make some fantastic products!! thanks for posting this Brian.
I've been using NV Nova products for a while now. Just amazing quality. Their ceramic coating is brilliant and so so easy to apply.
One of the biggest gloss jumps I have seen. Pretty impressive
I knew this was gonna be good. I spent an absurd amount of money to get a couple bottles of these in the US a couple years ago. Worth it! I sparingly used them for my personal vehicles only. Great products! Love these established companies starting to expand their availability for us to enjoy. Manufacturer competition is always a win for us end users. Thanks B! 👍👌✌
@@fiouable they're premium products at premium prices, closer to Polish Angel than Meguiars. Probably not something you use on every job, but perfect when you want something special. Just look at those gloss numbers! Plus I'll never complain about having more product options available. But I hear you, they're definitely expensive. 👍✌
Simon we pay $130 for the same litre here in Australia, your exchange rate means it's still cheaper than we can buy our own products..
For example.. Adam's detail spray is around $16 in America but it's $26 here in Australia for the same bottle..
That same bottle of Lustre Brian is using is $49 in Australia..
@@paulreichelt1259 that is just absurd, I feel bad for you guys over there, you get totally shafted from almost every angle on prices and availability.
How good are Finesse and Precision? Precision looks particularly interesting. Does it dust?
Love Nv! Currently I’m one of the only shops in the US offering their pro coating, Nova Pro, and it has been performing FAR better than many other brands I have tried. So glad Nick brought them to the US.
Please review more of the lineup! Be sure to try Snow+ & Purge!!
Hey Brian, Do you have a list of the "Go Get It Now" products?
I should reveal all of them in a video!😜
Once again, the "Apex Effect".... Went to purchase and Lustre is already sold out!
They are working on it.🙂
Wow I cannot believe how well Luster performed. Definitely something to add to the Arsenal. Great video as always!
Thanks for the upload brian, we always appreciate your honesty and hard work.
Fantastic. I’d “Go Get it Now”, but it’s sold out. Thank you Brian! 😊
Its back in stock as of 4/2/21 no April fools!
Yes sir !!! So glad you liked them Bryan
Excellent video on NV Lustre, it is my number 1 product here in Australia. Thanks for your great work.
Nova Jet seems like a really good product
I would definitely rate Luster as go get it now because that’s what I’m doing
Shine mate best polisher and NV best spray coatings
*Patiently waiting for these to become available in the UK*
I'm with you on that Brian Woods. First saw these on Sandro channel and been trying to find them in UK since. Fingers crossed someone here becomes a Distributor so we can have a play.
As always great video and thanks for sharing knowledge
Wow that gloss reading was cool! If you said your Vett became more glossy, that must have been impressive. I sure do want to try it. Great video!
The lustre looks incredible.
Love the NV products, Nova Boost is also an awesome product that NV produce. Excellent review.
Their entire product line is extremely underrated including their ceramic coatings.
I love boost and boost v2. Never used luster or jet but I’ve seen luster kind of hides light swirl marks(I don’t coat anything I don’t polish anyways so that’s why I haven’t used either of them) but it’s cool to see a spray variant add deep gloss and fill in swirls and be quick and easy to use. I will recommend to consumers for sure. Also you can use luster and then layer on jet for the best of both worlds.
Fantastic review there Brian, thanks so much for your work there. I can see this product being useful after decontaminating but not polishing; kinda gives you another tier option to customers with it's mild masking properties and it's durability.
Both products impressed me during this review, but I wish we could have the jetting effect from Jet in the Lustre formula... Yes, I like to have my cake and eat it too, whenever possible.
Another great video, Brian. 👍
Maybe do a 1:1 or 2:1 (lustre:jet) mix?
Very nice 😎
Impressive looking products.
They are quite impressive.
@@apexdetail85 Now if someone would leave some in the store I could get some . Sold out.
Great product. A must try. Thanks Brian!
Very impressive! Excited to use these products in the spring.
Excellent thank you Brian. I always look forward to your product reviews.
And I just bought Polish Angel Wet Gloss after seeing your other review. You are bringing some next level review sire.
Another couple of good products to choose from. Thanks for the introduction.
If Brian and Sandro approve then I have no doubt. The Infiniti I just coated with Evo should do just fine. It’s time to acquire some Lustre to maintain it!!
This channel is so informative I love it
I am glad it helps a bit.
Do a head to head vs Fire ball Ultimate Coating Wax 🔥🔥
Yay the chart is back! Thank you!
Very impressive! 4-6 months of washes and still holds up to a solvent... I think the luster must have threatened the "get it now" rating... +12 GU and durability!
I think price is what keeps it from "go get it now"💰
Amazing what a difference $10 makes
I’ve been using Nv(nova) products for a while. AWESOME products!! Thanks Brian!
Me too and Australian made ;)
@@mag1vl top of the line products! Their ceramic coatings are amazing!
Simply put a solid vid, as always, thank you! Lustre is already sold out...dang. I guess let's wait and see.
I’ve been waiting for this. ❤️❤️
Cheers!!
Finally having an opportunity to watch this one. Was investigating Lustre and, as was no surprise, I can always count on Apex to have a solid review. Your Corvette looks fantastic, by the way.
I had been hoping that you would review these two products. Great review. Thank you.
Hi Brian! Love all your videos, there are tons of material for me to watch and learn! Could you also start an annual series where you rate all your favorite products? Your opinion on these products is highly respected and I would love to see that series blow up!
How about testing products that have filling capability on unprepared panel to see how much improvements we can expect from it? Thank you very much for your videos.
Thank you Brian. Thorough and informative. 👍🏾
Thank you as always
Thank Brian! I have been waiting for them to restocked in the US, just ordered both.
Think I'm going to have to get some of that Lustre!!
Whoa! That gloss!! Sweet Vette!
Brian could you please rank this for us? Give us your list from #1 down to #5 of the spray on sio2 products? Adams, Turtlewax, etc. This is a pricy product but does it beat them all out or in your opinion is it a tie between one of the others and NV Lustre? We really need a ranking system. Curious minds want to know. Pretty Please?
Other channels have done these tests. Research. I found myself repeatedly leaning towards the NV jet/luster products over competition
Man Brian just when I thought I found the best product you come up with another I gotta try. Help I'm going broke! Lol
Use up what you have first!🙂
great review.. to the point, no fuss... thanks... one other thing I noticed using NV Care products (Lustre and Boost) is that the car collects less bugs. I often drive long distances, often in the evening, after sunset. I noticed the amount of bug splats has easily dropped by 90%. I've been barely getting anything on the car since I started using NV care. That's a nice add on to the product.
Interesting that Sandro found Jet to be more durable than Lustre. Brian could you please do durability comparison test of one of these against TW seal and shine and Moonlight?
@Michael H lol, now I want to try that.
Yeh, Lustre will give you the high gloss and Jet gives the protection. Used it since it was released haven't found a better combo yet.
@@brentonl1746 I am not sure if the durability is so spectacular because on the product page itself and on the vendor's pages I have read that for the best results these products need to be reapplied every month of so. Compared to the advertised durability of Tacsystem Moonlight that does not sound so impressive, but I can't say that I let any topper product sit on my car for more than 2 months without reapplying it.
@@ludak83 just wondered if you have tried Lustre or Jet, if you layer well and top every 6 to 8 weeks it gives great protection. I suppose it depends on the quality of the paint the prep and conditions but I t holds up pret y well.
@@brentonl1746 I have both, and I also have Tac Moonlight. I don't have the gloss meter but the car looks great with either. I do not have a horse in this race, so I would like to see the head to head comparison, and Brian makes the best comparison videos unlike "the label reader" who also "reviewed" these products awhile ago.
Great review again Brian. Thank you.
I must admit I was surprised that Jet was described as the hydrophobic coating yet they both seemed to perform the same in terms of hydrophobidity.
Loved the darkening effect of Jet, but that extra gloss and the way it laughed at the solvent cleaner made Lustre the winner for me.
I wonder if you could layer Lustre on top of Jet, with the appropriate cure time in-between?
You definitely can layer!
NV advises not to put Lustre on top of Jet. I sent then a DM on Instagram and they specifically said don't put Lustre on Jet. Didn't really give me a reason but they were pretty clear about it.
Most users will top them the other way around. Lustre furst to buikd on that gloss and Jet for the hydrophobicity
G'day Brian, unusual to see NV Care only just become available in the USA. I have been using both those products in Australia for the past year, and as you found, Lustre is very impressive. NV Care also has 2 types of Snow Foams in their product line. NV Snow - Ph Neutral & NV Snow+ - Intensified foaming wash if available to test. Enjoy all the testing that you perform with tips and the quality of the videos. Ozz
We are always last to get the good stuff.😢
@@apexdetail85 May have to disagree on that Brian. We are still waiting for Turtle Wax Seal & Shine with New Formula to hit our shores. I used Amazon Prime to purchase 3 bottles of the New Formula from the USA 3 months ago, 40% cheaper to what I would pay for the original Seal & Shine in Australia. I know I'm set with a good topper to my ceramic coating for quite a while.
Product already sold out. Definitely something I am interested in getting
Nice the chart is back when are we going to hit the go out and get on the chart 👀🚦
EXCELLENT! Thank you very much! I bought both but am up in the air on which to use first. I may try the Lustre first even though I originally wanted the Jet. I hear some double up but the bonding isn't as long as individually used and you will need to reapply more often
Nice review . I’ll have to order Luster. Thank you 🇺🇸
Brilliant review, literally brilliant results, thanks Brian.
Lustre is my pick too, can't fault the looks and slickness. Interesting that the jetting effect shown to be greater for Jet (in spite of the name), I've seen the reverse result in another youtuber's test. I noticed you may have applied more product for Jet by spraying directly onto the panel in addition to the applicator - but then this may explain why it came 2nd in the durability test, another surprise given how each product is advertised. (Both layer well so hopefully this will level the jetting disparity somewhat.) Amazing products anyhow, thanks again.
I just got some of this stuff But I have to say it would be very hard to improve on your vet. I just used it as a topper on my truck I am pretty impressed So far. Easy to use really shines
For a spray type coating. There is nothing better.. Lustre topped with Jet. Then use Boost as a maintenance topper.. You can't go wrong.
My favorite brand of car care products , NV Care #1, Car Pro and Gyeon, I haven’t tried polish angel
Another great Aussie product. Lloyd
Seen this a while back on another channel whenever I need to restock I’ll definitely check them out
These look like great products. Thanks for highlighting them Brian. I wonder if they are stackable? Not sure which way to stack whether “Jet” on bottom to get the darkening affect, or put “Luster” on the bottom for the filling affect. ...or would one reject the other? Thoughts?
Stacking is Lustre, Jet, then Boost.
I as well stack the three together. I think anyone should take these tests with a grain of salt.
Nice
great video and product review good friend. these products seem solid and worth picking up. ill b over 2moro 2 pick up the vette.thanks 4 topping it 4 me.😆😆😆😆
Very impressive indeed. Outstanding, thats almost nuclear protection. Ive checked & not available on this side of the planet, one day perhaps.
Thank you Brian for reviewing those 2 Nova products, I've been waiting for your opinion, are you planning to review their coating soon?
Wow I’m surprised I thought Jet was going to last longer
Great video Brian. I am definitely going to try these products. I enjoy watching your videos because they are so informative. I have recently tried two other products that are amazing. Incredible gloss and slickness but both contain petroleum distillates. I have heard comments that they are safe to use, while other comments state they are bad for your skin and destroy the car paint. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks in advance. Love your videos!
Might want to mention what those "Two other" products are...
When are you ever going to do a “go get it now” ?? This product seems very good
@@fiouable pay for what you get, normally the more expensive stuff Is the best?
Why do you keep doing this us 🤣🤣🤣 will put it on the want list. Great video once again sir!
I'd be interested to know gloss retention numbers after the tests.
Must be pretty Good as a Combo, paired together~! but if you only buy one, Lustre 's the One! ;-)
morning dan...keep in mind that if u stack jet on top of lustre the durabiity is somewhat reduced/nv car care.....which means u would def reapply about the 6wk mark.....which is no big deal cuz we would reapply on our own cars probably every 3-4 washes anyway.....just keep in mind for customers cars....fyi
Thought you put your corvette in storage...lol... u needed more protection on it huh. Must have like 100 layers of protection on it. Cant wait to see c8
It was a nice day....brought it out for a quick bath and topper.🙂
Luster or topper from xtreme solutions ?? For shine and for durability ??
Brian, I noticed when applying it to the wheels you just sprayed it on. Aren't you worried about getting it on the rotors? I am always afraid of getting coatings on the rotors that might adversely affect their performance.
Brake pads would take it off in seconds. Especially any kind of spray coating.
Gettin me some Lustre!
That would be a good video Brian a go out an get video have you tried the new hydrosilex works great like the old stuff did but better
Thanks Brian for all you hard work! Please share what the grey towel is that you are using to buy the Jet around the 3:00 mark. Thanks in advance.
Just a utility towel. Not sure where this one came from. Its quite common. 350 GSM.
Great review. I’ve been waiting for this one. I like the products as well. My only complaint is the actual spray bottle. They are way too cheap and even leak as you spray. Great products though.
Brian thank you for your videos very educational as allways. Can you make a copilation video of all your GO GET IT NOW products that you think must be in our arsenal please., Thank you very much
WOW nice product. I don't think you can get that vette any glossier.
Isn’t jet supposed to last longer then lustre???
Tough call would you get jet or luster?
I’m leaning towards luster
Both.
This may help, both products are stackable and you would put on Luster 1st then Jet after waiting 2hrs to fully cure..
Lustre for me.
Brian, its been a few years....are there any current waxes, sealants, toppers, that have more gloss than Luster? Im jeweling a show car and need the highest gloss possible without a full coating (they dont want go put a permanent coating on the paint). After jeweling a lot of products actually retard the gloss a bit....so need the king of the hill! I appreciate your channel and FB group very much!
Excellent content!
Hey Brian, did lustre streak at all? I have lustre and it streaks like a mofo, Ive tried using brand new microfibre cloths too but I cant seem to get that last bit of residue off. Any ideas? Thanks dude, great video. 👍
James you coud try to very slightly damp your microfiber with water and apply it that way , sometimes a little bit of water helps even products out ..either that or your using to much maybe.
@@paulreichelt1259 i just use 1 full spray per half panel and one spray on the smaller ones. Ive tried using even less product but it just doesnt want to cooperate for some reason. Ah well.
I did not have a problem. Try a slightly damp microfiber to help with the problem.
@@apexdetail85 cheers brian 👍
Fab review! Brian I want the Lustre as a topper on my Armorshield IX ceramic coating which is two weeks old, how do you prep a ceramic coating for a topper?
Just wash and coat.
Hi Brian! Im planning on using both of these sequentially to top up nova evo. Is there a benefit in a panel wipe with NV clarity or carpro eraser before applying either proving I respect their curing times? Thank you
Have you found anything that is better than Lustre in terms of gloss and durability over the past year?
I find this strange. Luster has higher gloss reading than Jet, but the "jetting effect" from jet adds more depth? And then luster which sounds like it's more for looks than protection, maintained it's hydrophics more than Jet which was made for hydrophobic?!? I'm baffled lol
I agree.
It's also strange that when Sandro tested it, Lustre had a greater jetting effect. Perhaps they changed the formulation?
