It‘s honestly one of the most rewarding things in being a product tester and content creator to see other well respected testers coming ti the same conclusions. I simply couldn‘t agree more on everything you said about Meguiar‘s Hybrid Paint Coating. It really really is the king if easy to apply coatings in terms of user experience. In regards to Sonax CC36, there are three things I wanted to add. First, it‘s durability claim is actually up to 36 months - hence the name. Plus, the gloss coat layer isn‘t actually a „ceramic“ product, it‘s a polymer one. That‘s why, as you said, if you see hydrophobics fail, you really can just reapply that one. Third, and most importantly, CC36 doesn‘t need any cure time after the application of the gloss coat, which means it‘s an almost ideal product for outside application and mobile detailers. I still would recommend giving it a few hours, but it theoretically can get wet right away. Considering how much you liked CC36, I‘d recommend you try CC Evo.
My brother-in-law in Melbourne has a Range Rover he picked up and I sent him to you for an assessment on his vehicle. I'm a pro detailer in Austin, Texas and I've been following you on UA-cam for a few years...
Something you forgot to say about meguiars hybrid paint coating is it doesn't have a shelf like like 99% of the coatings out there which after being used once the coating won't last past a year in the bottle, hybrid paint coating can last 5+ years in the can and it won't go bad so there's a lot of value for someone who is only working on his personal car
Almost all products will last longer over clean bare paint but if you aren’t after the absolute longest durability I think it will work just fine over a wax
Thank you Sandro for all your time and effort you put into putting these videos together testing products.I have almost finished detailing my car using products and techniques you have demonstrated on your videos.
Applied the Meguiars and was very impressed by the ease of application and it is super slick. Will be topping it off with Meg's M799 or Nv Lustre just to see if it will add more gloss as i have some left.
Great review, BUT, can you test self-cleaning properties? Maybe let the panel sit outside for 2-weeks, then hose it down, blow it dry and see which side of the panel looks the cleanest? Self cleaning properties/ Touchless cleaning is the #1 factor I look for in coatings, fewer touches, = less swirls/scratches etc,
I was really looking forward to your thoughts on the Meguiars hybrid paint coating. So thanks for that! I stocked up on a few bottles on sale for around 30 USD on sale. At least here in the states it’s really hard to beat it’s value even at full price. For someone who likes doing a light polish every year or two I can’t think of an easier solution. I also use toppers like NV Boost or Megs Ceramic detailer with great results.
I've been waiting for your thoughts on these. Love your style, presentation, and articulated descriptions. I could easily watch an hour video of you talking about anything. Thanks for all you do Sandro, you've taught me a lot.
Thank you for the comparison Sandro! I’ve been using Can Coat EVO for everything. Plastics vinyl, even interior panels. Cancoat evo in my testing has worked as a top coat on a lot of ceramic coatings other than Gyeon.
this is awesome! both can coat and hybrid paint coating are so tempting while everyone knows sonax has always been a giant in the industry. thanks for your work, bro! cheers!
Nicely done, as always! 🍻🤘🏻 Absolutely love watching and learning from your experiences, opinions and useful advice. Very interesting to see 3 separate coatings/brands compete side by side. Thank you for another EXCELLENT comparison video. I’ve been detailing on the side and worked as an automotive technician for about 11 years up until last year. I unfortunately lost my job at a local body shop, which led to an opportunity 3 months later to rent a 55x12ft. warehouse bay with electric, water hook up and floor drainage so I could take my professional detailing & paint correction services full time… I decided to take the leap and give it a chance since mobile detailing through winter in Vermont with a small Mitsubishi is not doable. It’s been an incredibly difficult past year with ups and downs, but I’m still learning and growing from my experiences, mistakes and keeping a positive attitude. Thank you for all of your awesome videos!
It sounds like it has be tough for you mate and I really hope this new opportunity pans out well. It’s never an easy road starting and sustaining a business and the learning curve never ends, but you can absolutely do it with hard work and good decisions along the way. My very best wishes moving forward!
Hello fellow Vermonter. Hear that on winter in vt . I'm mobile and work out of a shelterlogic at home . Side hustle along with a being a full time dealership detailer . Closing in on 40 yrs . Pretty much shut down during the winter . Looking to build a garage at home being that it's hard to justify renting a garage when only doing it as a side hustle.
I love the new way you make your videos! I can vouch for Sonax coating, I applied it on my dads Audi A7 (with hard paint). The coating is supposed to last up to 36 months, but it was applied about 4 years ago now, and topped only with Sonax BSD and it's working like a charm. The price shocked me however, it is far far cheaper in Europe!!!
Yes. Same Problem here in Germany. A lot of fantastic products like BC 1 are not available here. But if you find someone who is willing to send it, the price of shipping is much to expensive.
To put things in perspective, CC36 (the high-volume version with 250ml of basecoat) costs NT$7500 here in Taiwan. That's $356 AUD and that's after a 50% discount! Meguairs Hybrid Paint Coating, on the other hand, has a "cheap" price tag of NT$2000 or $95 AUD. (Can Coat is not retailed here and as such, is priceless.)
Nameless?…. Lookin at you P and S😳love can coat. Love it! Tricky in humidity is the only drawback. I use Cancoat 2 layer on my Mom’s garaged black Lexus and it’s perfect for my pops to take care of. I am appalled at that meguiars price Sandro! Just looked at Amazon(overpriced) and that kit is 49.00. I bet if I went looking I could find it way cheaper. You want me to send you some? Goes both ways though- I can’t get Nova here. Thanks for the time putting this together. Cheers! Kyle
Nice to see meguiars has improved and comparable to the more expensive stuff now. I don't mind spending more on a good product, but when I'm going to use it so sparingly over a multi-year basis... eh...
Superb, superb review that I have been waiting for a long time! Thank you my friend for the work done! 👍 👍 👍.. I like meguiar's HPC. It is a superb alternative to ceramic coating. Not super expensive for the capacity, the ipa, the applicator and microfibers. This makes it a good 1+ year coating. Because I know two people with meguiar's HPC on their cars, one who drove it daily and without maintaining it to perfection and was up to 1 year and 3 months old, the other drives daily too but with a very upkeep of the coating and has been up to almost 2 years! Meguiar's should thank you because thanks to you I think the sales of meguiar's HPC will be boosted!
Hard to beat Cancoat when it comes to value. Have a detailing meetup with 5 friends right before the winter and split the can at 3 layers each. Works out to be less than $15 per person. $15!! That's cheaper than cheap amazon coatings!
Thanks for a great comparison Sandro 👍 it's terrible how much it costs for you to get non local products in your neck of the woods. I picked up a couple of the Meguiars boxes for 20$ on sale here. I kinda want to see how much it would cost to send something to you. I use Undrdog Pro as my coating of choice and it is such an amazing product and would love to hear your thoughts on it.
I'm in the same boat. It works well. I top it with Sonax BSD and it lasts well past 6 months easy. And I am not talking applying BSD intermittently for maintenance washes.
Meguiar's might be pricier than the others, but much better overall, and why I always stock all their stuff in my garage. If it's "euphoric" to use, that's all I need as a recommendation. 👍
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Yeah, there was a time, talking 25yrs ago now, where I enjoyed doing 2 or 3 step processes for coatings with the specialized stuff (3M for example) for best shine on my clears and/or pearls. Not anymore, and Meguiar's I can get anywhere, rather than having to be in the industry.
No, this is simply impossible to make such a good videos with a comparison from all the angles we are looking to. Who you are, Sandro? How do you know what all of us here in the comments are looking for))) Just joking, but I have really enjoyed this video, I am not using these coatings, but I see you have made a favour to many good guys in the comments. I am sure they have appreciated your work and I have learned never to say "never", I have just wrote "I have not used them", but you never know what you will decide to use tomorrow) Thanks for a great video and politeness to not name the pricy coating we all remember from previous video)))) I need to learn this from you) All the kind wishes from Sweden, Cheers from us.
Haha thank you my Swedish friend, after so many videos I guess I start to predict what questions people will have and try to cover them. I’m glad you enjoyed this one and best wishes to the family
great video as always Sandro your reviews give us options to the weekend warrior or pro detailer Great info You never let the side down keep them coming In Sandro we trust
I had never done a coating or anything even remotely like that before. I probably had washed my cars by hand maybe two or three times in my entire life. I used Gyeon CanCoat EVO on my new car a few months ago and it was super easy for a COMPLETE newbie in a limited space with below average lighting. It took my son and I about 2.5 hours to do the entire mid-sized SUV - I reckon we could have gotten it down to 90 minutes if we were a bit more confident and put our foot down, but I'd say to give yourself two hours. Our car is red, so it's kind of in the middle in terms of "forgiveness" with respect to poorly applied products which was a risk for us because we had almost no idea what we were doing beyond watching Sandro, Pan, Brian from Apex, and a few others apply coatings countless times. There were a couple of high spots due to the poor lighting and our inexperience and we picked them up about 18 hours later when we took the car out into the sun for an inspection. Removing the high spots was pretty easy actually - for the minor one here and there, a quick spritz of Gyeon Prep on a plush microfiber and they buffed out instantly. Not kidding, one or two passes of the cloth was all that was needed. There was one "significant" high spot by the driver's side passenger door handle and we just re-applied some CanCoat EVO to an applicator, went over that entire door again, and buffed it off - it came out perfect. One thing that can't be understated with CanCoat EVO is how absolutely ridiculously rich it can make your paint look. Like I said, we had a metallic red paint but after applying CanCoat EVO and letting it cure, the additional colour saturation is magnificent. It's so much deeper and rich of a red. I went back to the dealership a few days later to pick something up and even the sales guy was like, "Man, that paint looks terrific." Without turning this into an ad for Gyeon, but if you want to make your CanCoat EVO coated car pop with gloss, every second wash, hit it with Gyeon Ceramic Detailer - legitimately, it's other worldly for gloss on top of the CanCoat. That said, the Meguires looks really nice, thanks for the tip, Sandro!
What a great comparison. Since Meguiar’s is not ceramic, which Meguiar’s product would be appropriate as a boost for hydrophobic properties? Thanks so much Larry
Thanks Larry, and I’ve had no issue combining/layer products with various traditional, ceramic or graphene content, in fact may brands do make waxes, sealants and coatings containing a variety of SiO2, graphene and more traditional polymers combined in the same product. If keeping Meguiars HPC’s hydrophobicity at peek, something like Meguiars own Hybrid Ceramic Detailer could be worth using - alternatively the new version of their Ultimate QD is meant to be far more hydrophobic also having a hybrid polymer bend of ingredients like Hybrid Paint Coating.
Hi Sandro, thanks for product testing on these 3 spray ceramic sealants. As I have never applied a ceramic coating, I'm a little confused and trying to understand the difficulty in applying the product to the applicator by the liquid from a bottle and the spray from a can. Being a spray product, can it be sprayed directly onto the paint, and then spread out with the applicator? Maybe I'm just missing the concept of a spray ceramic product. Cheers.
No you’re not missing anything 🙂 It really is more of a gimmick having it in a spray can as like you mentioned you still have to apply it to an applicator which is just as quick and easy to do with a standard pouring bottle.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing One of the other advantages of a spray can is shelf life. Once you open a bottle of coating, the clock starts ticking which matters if you buy a larger bottle and don't use all the product in a short period of time. The aerosol can allows products like Meguiars to have a long shelf life as it only begins to "cure" once sprayed. You can recoat your car over several years with one can, in theory.
Hey Sandro! Love like always these videos you effortly put in your channel to give us nice information. Ill feedback to you some tips about CanCoat applying the older version and the newer: as it is a spray coating it is made to be easy to apply and in fact you can coat a car in 20 minutes. How? The secret is on the microfobre it brings. You apply 3 or 4 sprays on the towel, apply and buff to level it out. Simple. Applying with applicator is unneceseraly and time-product consuming. Try it that way and you will se a big difference. Cant wait for anothr video of you! Keep it up my man.
Thanks mate and I’ve certainly used Can Coat with towels and if you find that’s been working for you that’s great. I just share what I personally experience and for me I still don’t believe 20mins is realistic without leaving high spots in the finish but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it 🙂
I’ve done 4 cars with CanCoat, twice each. 30 minutes tops and I’ve never had any application issues. I apply it as recommended - spray on a towel, wipe, flip, wipe. Ignoring the instructions and using your own application process as on the video will indeed take a lot longer. Perhaps try following the manufacturer’s instructions and see. I did 4 cars, two layers, then two more layers 6 months later, then the rest to top Mohs Evo on all four, six months later. Then used it up on lawnmower, snowblower, glass shower, etc.
Thanks for another video, really glad to see you so active again 👍👍 a bit like yourself I was wondering how the heck they state 20 mins for cancoat??? It is a great product tho 👍 I was wondering did you consider do a best of series? Regards from Northern Ireland.
Awesome video Sandro. Considering these are entry level coatings, would you need to compound them off before reapplying after 12 months or could you just do a chemical decon and reapply?
Thanks mate, and I think it’s absolutely fine to just do a nice decontamination and reapply them. There’s no rule that says you have to polish unless it’s a longer term result you’re after.
Would you recommend either can coat or go for gyeon one ceramic coating.I have 3 cars to do which is why I thought of can coat. What’s the difference between the 2 products? Cheers
I haven’t tried Gyeon One so I can’t comment on its performance, but it seems as though if you have 3 cars to do, then Can Coat would certainly be the best economical choice.
Awesome video mate so many awesome pointers! 🙏 The Meguiars can you add another coat few months later after first application? Or will it repell the second coating? I just think I’ve missed a few sections on the car so want to redo the whole car. Thanks Mate.
Thanks mate and I think you can absolutely add another moths later, just give the cars a nice wash and the Meguiars seems very adaptable to use and layer over itself.
To me the best test before application is 2💧💧 over glass to see how much real silica or quartz silane is in the product. So far Gyeon is the only one with real ceramic even the spray nozzles get clogged.
Hey Sandro - thank you for the video and comparison. Wonderful. Two questions - First, why is MHPC so expensive in Australia? It's just $50-$60 here in the USA and after conversion that works out to $73-$87 AUD. But you paid twice that. Just curious if you know. Second, if these products degrade after only 2 or 3 washes with Multi X (and other similar chemicals) then what is the benefit of it in the end? Isn't a a cheaper version of them (TW Seal n Shine, or other spray waxes, hand applied waxes, point being shorter duration protection products, etc) the better/more cost effective alternative? I personally have used MHPC and loved it. But I also don't like long lasting protection products (6 month +). I love the once a month or every other wash application of protection. It's much more enjoyable for me. Thanks!
Haha Seal n Shine is garbage compared to these products. SNS is only good at short term chemical durability tests. The kind of tests that are so far from real world exposure it’s not funny. Otherwise that product is between bad to average in every other attribute. Meguiar’s hybrid paint coating (for example) has much better water behavior, better self-cleaning behavior, gloss and shine, and real world durability.
My pleasure mate and my guess is that Meguiars is so expensive here because the Aussie distributor is placing huge markups. Multi-X or really most stronger APCs shouldn’t be used and certainly not in an aggressive physical manner to clean a coating, they really aren’t maintenance products. Chemical resistant tests of sorts are conducted by many brands to predict durability. If you enjoy reapplying paint protection products more often there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, it’s really more of a personal thing, and in the end the market decides what people want and whether or not certain types of products will sell.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks for the quick reply Sandro. I should have known that. Not sure where my mind went in that moment I posed the question. Makes perfect sense and thank you again.
Amazing video as always.. could we get a comparison like this for hydrophobic glass cleaners? i feel like all i hear about is RainX.. but its an old product so surely something better exists now
Question - I had Gyeon Infinite Evo applied professionally on my car. Once yearly I am supposed to top it off with CanCoat. Honestly this looks a bit intimidating. Could the Meguair's be used to top off the Gyeon coating? Ive heard on several detailing channels that ceramic coatings tend to be compatible, but that its probably best to stick with the brand you have as a base. But if I am going to screw up the top off, leave high spots and ruin the finish, it doesent make sense to stick to that brand right?
It’s really one of those things that’s very subjective and you will get different answers and opinions from everyone. I think it’s important to feel comfortable with what you’re working with and many of us that apply coatings for a living sometimes forget that’s there’s a learning curve we too had to go through. The Meguiars seems to look, feel and behave not all that differently to Can Coat so I feel it may in fact work just fine as a topper in your case and also give you a more friendly and forgiving application saving you some stress.
Sandro, after coming out of the evo series, would you rather choose cancoat evo or cquartz lite? I've been using lite for some years now, it just outperforms the old cancoat. How about now? Can Cancoat evo keep up with lite?
I think it was close between them years ago when Lite first came out and I still think it would be close today with Evo. I’m not sure I saw a huge potential durability increase with the Evo updated coatings, just more slight, so I do think it would be close and could go either way.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I've been thinking of trying the new cancoat for some time. I will give it a try then, hope I won't be dissapointed. Also I will go with Pure evo when my uk+sic dies, then I'll use cancoat to top pure. Thanks Sandro
WOW for $155.00 AU for Meguiars, your better off getting the Blue Bottle Hybrid Spray Wax and apply it dry, just like Sandro did way back when it first came out and tested it as well. :)
Fusso Soft 99 is better It won’t add extra gloss but it will last a year One can of Fusso will easily last the lifetime of the car It is not bad to apply and remove if you put a very very thin layer on It comes off somewhat like the old rubbing compound use to But the durability of Fusso for the price is unmatched Also you can top the Fusso with anything you want adding extra life and durability to it.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing yeah. I know meguiars is expensive in the UK as well, but it seems like it's totally off the charts in Aus. Unfortunately bilt hamber stuff is totally overpriced here, 5 liters of autofoam is $50 for example. I think it may not just be the faulylt of the distributors either. Chemicals are extremely inexpensive to manufacture, but they are very expensive to ship overseas because of hazardous ingredients and also because of weight.
Laying times will vary from product to product as well as environmental factors. Sometimes you can immediately apply a second layer after the first, other times you’ll need to wait several hours. Generally the quicker a coating/sealant flashes/bonds/cures the faster you can layer and vice versa the slower a product is to flash/cure the longer you’ll need to wait.
Hey something noone has bothered to mention is what if anything can you do to reduce the number of cloths and applicators you burn through when coating a car? How many panels or sections IS a suede cloth or MF good for? Is there anything I could immediately soak them in until I can get them into the wash? Cheers 🎉
I have covered those topics in a few of detailing vlogs, but typically you should change your suede clothes every 1/2hr or use about 4 per car. You can put your wiping cloths in warm soapy water immediately after use and get some more uses from them but they will still degrade to some extent. I typically use sone good affordable short pile cloth that when bough in bulk are about a dollar each - and just dispose of them after coating use.
I didn't watch the video yet, but I had to say this. It's like you're reading my mind mate. I was just looking at the gyeon can coat and considering picking it up to test. Sheesh. Haha Thanks bud. Btw where are you based?
7:04 Dang, you can really see the darkening effect of CanCoat on this panel. 10:52 Oh Sandro, I noticed right away that the Sonax was a touch above the rest, and that's saying a lot because CanCoat is very hydrophobic! But then again I'm not your regular person, and I'm a bead chasing maniac. It's not unexpected, though as Sonax has always been top notch and I've been blown away by a couple of their products (Germans are just amazing). 17:12 - 18:11 AMEN BROTHER! I could mention a massive name that's the biggest offender here, but I'll keep it to myself lol. I've already had discussions with him on his page about another topic, to which he implied I was wrong but then ended up giving me an answer that invalidated the whole thread and proved my initial point, beating himself alongside me without even noticing. Oh and he's THE industry leading "expert" that looks down upon the rest, while way more actually knowledgeable and talented detailers out there just share their passion and info without any smoke and mirrors or misleading content, kinda like you ;). Thanks for the content man, I'd always wondered what their ceramic coating was like, but didn't see any reviews anywhere and I didn't wanna be the guinea pig for it. I still to this day always keep some BSD on hand for use as a drying aid/"topper" as it's one of the most hydrophobic, bang for buck products out there, and the gardenia smell is second to none. Also, Perfect Finish has to be my most used abrasive ever. It's my go to for pretty much all 2 stage corrections, and most of my one steps as well (some times I'll have to jump to something harsher if I'm working on hammered and/or harder finishes to 1 step, but 90% of the time it's just SPF with a yellow rupes). Love the super soft modern Range Rovers, as their colors are beautiful and they can be pretty dang hammered and still come out near perfect with just the SPF/Yellow rupes combo because it's such soft clear, and that combo finishes down haze free with the proper technique and specially easy if I'm working in the shop with the A/C on.
I think that would be something I’d test out. It’s just so slick and replies everything to start with that I think maybe waiting a few washes to top it would work out better.
Don’t add any of the other Meguiar’s products over HPC. Only exception is the Hybrid ceramic detailer and M799. But HPC will reject those products for probably a good 6 months. Once HPC starts to decline you can restore some of the hydrophobics with these.
It varies based on the specific product and your climate/environment - typically 90mins to 3hrs for most products. I discuss layering times in this video towards the ends while I’m coating this car: ua-cam.com/video/gCcVTQ8-v2g/v-deo.html&si=DCYPSb4Nr-VwRNq5
Does anyone know of a product that removes coatings from microfiber towels? I've tried soaking my towels in Surfex HD 10:1 immediately after coating wipe off, but that didn't seem to do the trick. I haven't fully ventured into the ceramic coating game yet because I'm not fond of throwing new microfiber towels away, and they're also hard to recycle from what I understand. Thank you
I like carpro lite with carpro gliss v2. This makes for an excellent durable and super hydrophobic coating!. But if you want a coating that is easy to apply and with excellent durability then I can only recommend gyeon q2 mohs evo
I’ll defend it. It’s probably because if any chemicals are going to be on the surface while you’re driving, you aren’t pulling over to give it a beauty wash. The point is to show resilience and resistance against the same ‘attack’ of chemicals in a progressive manner.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing currently the "top pro coating" and has crazy chemical resistance claims. Been using them for a year now and haven't seen any better hydrophobics out there
Big fan of yours but your application process for can coat is completely wrong. It's not supposed to be applied that thick and that slowly like a traditional ceramic. If you just hit the included towel with 3 sprays per section(half door) and wipe around quickly is basically flashes 95% of the stuff off. It's Hands down the best coating I've ever used. I also like that it last 12 to 18 months which is a perfect amount of time for light polish. Never understood why people bother with a 3 to 5 year coating which will need a light to moderate polish in a year or so(depending on paint softness) which than just removes the coating. 1 bottle can do close to 5 or 6 cars.
Appreciate that mate but like I mention in the video I used it with the included towel and performed many more tests prior to making the video. The way it performed applying it more consistently in the footage was actually superior to how it performed applying it more sporadically with a cloth. So if anything the performance was better than typical here and more than fair, and the results certainly reflected that. I know you guys just watch a quick video, but I think you’d be surprised just how time, testing and consideration goes into each video, and it’s not always just following or accepting what the brand tells you or recommends you do, I try to bring my own experiences and insights to every video rather than just regurgitating what you can already find on the brands own website, so I hope you appreciate and find value in that.
It‘s honestly one of the most rewarding things in being a product tester and content creator to see other well respected testers coming ti the same conclusions. I simply couldn‘t agree more on everything you said about Meguiar‘s Hybrid Paint Coating. It really really is the king if easy to apply coatings in terms of user experience.
In regards to Sonax CC36, there are three things I wanted to add. First, it‘s durability claim is actually up to 36 months - hence the name. Plus, the gloss coat layer isn‘t actually a „ceramic“ product, it‘s a polymer one. That‘s why, as you said, if you see hydrophobics fail, you really can just reapply that one. Third, and most importantly, CC36 doesn‘t need any cure time after the application of the gloss coat, which means it‘s an almost ideal product for outside application and mobile detailers. I still would recommend giving it a few hours, but it theoretically can get wet right away.
Considering how much you liked CC36, I‘d recommend you try CC Evo.
Hey Andreas habe eben noch dein Cerkote Video geschaut jetzt kommentierst du hier😅 wie klein die UA-cam Welt doch ist
Wie schaut eigentlich der Test von CC one vs den Meguiars aus
My brother-in-law in Melbourne has a Range Rover he picked up and I sent him to you for an assessment on his vehicle. I'm a pro detailer in Austin, Texas and I've been following you on UA-cam for a few years...
You are the best. The older I get, the more I appreciate ease of use.
Something you forgot to say about meguiars hybrid paint coating is it doesn't have a shelf like like 99% of the coatings out there which after being used once the coating won't last past a year in the bottle, hybrid paint coating can last 5+ years in the can and it won't go bad so there's a lot of value for someone who is only working on his personal car
That’s a good point 🙂
Thanks for that tip! Can you put meguiars over wax? Or should I strip it first? Thanks again Sandro!
Almost all products will last longer over clean bare paint but if you aren’t after the absolute longest durability I think it will work just fine over a wax
Thank you Sandro for all your time and effort you put into putting these videos together testing products.I have almost finished detailing my car using products and techniques you have demonstrated on your videos.
Applied the Meguiars and was very impressed by the ease of application and it is super slick. Will be topping it off with Meg's M799 or Nv Lustre just to see if it will add more gloss as i have some left.
Great review, BUT, can you test self-cleaning properties? Maybe let the panel sit outside for 2-weeks, then hose it down, blow it dry and see which side of the panel looks the cleanest? Self cleaning properties/ Touchless cleaning is the #1 factor I look for in coatings, fewer touches, = less swirls/scratches etc,
Last year's summer I coated two cars with Megs HPC, super impressed by this coating and love it !
Thanks for sharing that mate.
I was really looking forward to your thoughts on the Meguiars hybrid paint coating. So thanks for that! I stocked up on a few bottles on sale for around 30 USD on sale. At least here in the states it’s really hard to beat it’s value even at full price.
For someone who likes doing a light polish every year or two I can’t think of an easier solution. I also use toppers like NV Boost or Megs Ceramic detailer with great results.
I hope the video was helpful and it sounds like a much better deal price wise!
I've been waiting for your thoughts on these. Love your style, presentation, and articulated descriptions. I could easily watch an hour video of you talking about anything. Thanks for all you do Sandro, you've taught me a lot.
I like good products that are easy to use. The Megs paint coating would be the winner for me. Thanks for putting this test together.
My pleasure mate!
gyeon cancoat the best bang for your buck
As a detailer this is the best basic coating👍🏽
Can coat has always been a favourite of mine. Good, all round excellence !!
Many many thanks
Your reviews are the most in depth and detailed.
I didn’t know alot of those details you mentioned about can coat. Thanks.
Will be applying Cancoat Evo to my personal vehicle soon.
I really like the Meguiars paint coating. It lasts a year and is easy to apply. For $30 you can't ask for more.
Thank you for the comparison Sandro! I’ve been using Can Coat EVO for everything. Plastics vinyl, even interior panels. Cancoat evo in my testing has worked as a top coat on a lot of ceramic coatings other than Gyeon.
Great to hear that mate, it’s a great all round coating.
this is awesome! both can coat and hybrid paint coating are so tempting while everyone knows sonax has always been a giant in the industry. thanks for your work, bro! cheers!
Thank you. For what I need, any of these will work. I keep my car covered and use ONR every other day.
Nicely done, as always! 🍻🤘🏻
Absolutely love watching and learning from your experiences, opinions and useful advice.
Very interesting to see 3 separate coatings/brands compete side by side.
Thank you for another EXCELLENT comparison video.
I’ve been detailing on the side and worked as an automotive technician for about 11 years up until last year. I unfortunately lost my job at a local body shop, which led to an opportunity 3 months later to rent a 55x12ft. warehouse bay with electric, water hook up and floor drainage so I could take my professional detailing & paint correction services full time…
I decided to take the leap and give it a chance since mobile detailing through winter in Vermont with a small Mitsubishi is not doable. It’s been an incredibly difficult past year with ups and downs, but I’m still learning and growing from my experiences, mistakes and keeping a positive attitude.
Thank you for all of your awesome videos!
It sounds like it has be tough for you mate and I really hope this new opportunity pans out well. It’s never an easy road starting and sustaining a business and the learning curve never ends, but you can absolutely do it with hard work and good decisions along the way. My very best wishes moving forward!
Hello fellow Vermonter. Hear that on winter in vt . I'm mobile and work out of a shelterlogic at home . Side hustle along with a being a full time dealership detailer . Closing in on 40 yrs . Pretty much shut down during the winter . Looking to build a garage at home being that it's hard to justify renting a garage when only doing it as a side hustle.
Thanks Sandro for sharing this content. Love to watch all your product comparisons
I’m really impressed with Maguires I think I’m going to test this out on my vehicle! Thank you for the awesome demo 👊
I love the new way you make your videos! I can vouch for Sonax coating, I applied it on my dads Audi A7 (with hard paint). The coating is supposed to last up to 36 months, but it was applied about 4 years ago now, and topped only with Sonax BSD and it's working like a charm. The price shocked me however, it is far far cheaper in Europe!!!
Thanks and I appreciate you sharing experience with CC36
Yes. Same Problem here in Germany. A lot of fantastic products like BC 1 are not available here. But if you find someone who is willing to send it, the price of shipping is much to expensive.
Great vid! I was able to pick the Meg's up on sale last fall for $20. Great product.
To put things in perspective, CC36 (the high-volume version with 250ml of basecoat) costs NT$7500 here in Taiwan. That's $356 AUD and that's after a 50% discount! Meguairs Hybrid Paint Coating, on the other hand, has a "cheap" price tag of NT$2000 or $95 AUD. (Can Coat is not retailed here and as such, is priceless.)
I have currently Meguiars since mid July and have had no issues. Bi-weekly maintenance using Meguiars Hybrid Detailing spray. Very satisfied
Great to hear that and thanks for sharing.
That Meguiar's looks highly desirable for creating a surface slick enough to skip drying aids!
Nameless?…. Lookin at you P and S😳love can coat. Love it! Tricky in humidity is the only drawback. I use Cancoat 2 layer on my Mom’s garaged black Lexus and it’s perfect for my pops to take care of. I am appalled at that meguiars price Sandro! Just looked at Amazon(overpriced) and that kit is 49.00. I bet if I went looking I could find it way cheaper. You want me to send you some? Goes both ways though- I can’t get Nova here. Thanks for the time putting this together. Cheers! Kyle
You can get NV in America.
Nice to see meguiars has improved and comparable to the more expensive stuff now. I don't mind spending more on a good product, but when I'm going to use it so sparingly over a multi-year basis... eh...
Superb, superb review that I have been waiting for a long time! Thank you my friend for the work done! 👍 👍 👍.. I like meguiar's HPC. It is a superb alternative to ceramic coating. Not super expensive for the capacity, the ipa, the applicator and microfibers. This makes it a good 1+ year coating. Because I know two people with meguiar's HPC on their cars, one who drove it daily and without maintaining it to perfection and was up to 1 year and 3 months old, the other drives daily too but with a very upkeep of the coating and has been up to almost 2 years! Meguiar's should thank you because thanks to you I think the sales of meguiar's HPC will be boosted!
My absolute pleasure mate and was glad to finally get to reviewing it, it does seem like quite a good option with all things considered.
Hard to beat Cancoat when it comes to value. Have a detailing meetup with 5 friends right before the winter and split the can at 3 layers each. Works out to be less than $15 per person. $15!! That's cheaper than cheap amazon coatings!
Thanks for a great comparison Sandro 👍 it's terrible how much it costs for you to get non local products in your neck of the woods. I picked up a couple of the Meguiars boxes for 20$ on sale here. I kinda want to see how much it would cost to send something to you. I use Undrdog Pro as my coating of choice and it is such an amazing product and would love to hear your thoughts on it.
I'm still using the sonax polymer net shield and have been pleased with it. It is sticky when buffing off
It’s strange product. Not easiest to use but still very good Must have products.
I'm in the same boat. It works well. I top it with Sonax BSD and it lasts well past 6 months easy. And I am not talking applying BSD intermittently for maintenance washes.
Meguiar's might be pricier than the others, but much better overall, and why I always stock all their stuff in my garage. If it's "euphoric" to use, that's all I need as a recommendation. 👍
I think the older I get the more I appreciate the user experience and ease of use products, so I do tend to agree.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Yeah, there was a time, talking 25yrs ago now, where I enjoyed doing 2 or 3 step processes for coatings with the specialized stuff (3M for example) for best shine on my clears and/or pearls. Not anymore, and Meguiar's I can get anywhere, rather than having to be in the industry.
Guess it all depends on where u get the products from, as for me the Meguiar's($47.47) is cheaper then geyon($59.59) on Amazon US:)P
@@Copehagn02 Well you obviously see the Aussie price as Sandro listed them and Meguiar's is double the price of Gyeon.
No, this is simply impossible to make such a good videos with a comparison from all the angles we are looking to. Who you are, Sandro? How do you know what all of us here in the comments are looking for))) Just joking, but I have really enjoyed this video, I am not using these coatings, but I see you have made a favour to many good guys in the comments. I am sure they have appreciated your work and I have learned never to say "never", I have just wrote "I have not used them", but you never know what you will decide to use tomorrow)
Thanks for a great video and politeness to not name the pricy coating we all remember from previous video)))) I need to learn this from you)
All the kind wishes from Sweden, Cheers from us.
Haha thank you my Swedish friend, after so many videos I guess I start to predict what questions people will have and try to cover them. I’m glad you enjoyed this one and best wishes to the family
great video as always Sandro your reviews give us options to the weekend warrior or pro detailer Great info You never let the side down keep them coming In Sandro we trust
Thank you as always Bob, appreciate it mate!
I had never done a coating or anything even remotely like that before. I probably had washed my cars by hand maybe two or three times in my entire life. I used Gyeon CanCoat EVO on my new car a few months ago and it was super easy for a COMPLETE newbie in a limited space with below average lighting. It took my son and I about 2.5 hours to do the entire mid-sized SUV - I reckon we could have gotten it down to 90 minutes if we were a bit more confident and put our foot down, but I'd say to give yourself two hours.
Our car is red, so it's kind of in the middle in terms of "forgiveness" with respect to poorly applied products which was a risk for us because we had almost no idea what we were doing beyond watching Sandro, Pan, Brian from Apex, and a few others apply coatings countless times. There were a couple of high spots due to the poor lighting and our inexperience and we picked them up about 18 hours later when we took the car out into the sun for an inspection.
Removing the high spots was pretty easy actually - for the minor one here and there, a quick spritz of Gyeon Prep on a plush microfiber and they buffed out instantly. Not kidding, one or two passes of the cloth was all that was needed. There was one "significant" high spot by the driver's side passenger door handle and we just re-applied some CanCoat EVO to an applicator, went over that entire door again, and buffed it off - it came out perfect.
One thing that can't be understated with CanCoat EVO is how absolutely ridiculously rich it can make your paint look. Like I said, we had a metallic red paint but after applying CanCoat EVO and letting it cure, the additional colour saturation is magnificent. It's so much deeper and rich of a red. I went back to the dealership a few days later to pick something up and even the sales guy was like, "Man, that paint looks terrific."
Without turning this into an ad for Gyeon, but if you want to make your CanCoat EVO coated car pop with gloss, every second wash, hit it with Gyeon Ceramic Detailer - legitimately, it's other worldly for gloss on top of the CanCoat.
That said, the Meguires looks really nice, thanks for the tip, Sandro!
That’s great to hear mate, and it sounds like a nice and successful introduction to ceramic coatings, thanks for sharing that.
What a great comparison. Since Meguiar’s is not ceramic, which Meguiar’s product would be appropriate as a boost for hydrophobic properties?
Thanks so much
Larry
Thanks Larry, and I’ve had no issue combining/layer products with various traditional, ceramic or graphene content, in fact may brands do make waxes, sealants and coatings containing a variety of SiO2, graphene and more traditional polymers combined in the same product. If keeping Meguiars HPC’s hydrophobicity at peek, something like Meguiars own Hybrid Ceramic Detailer could be worth using - alternatively the new version of their Ultimate QD is meant to be far more hydrophobic also having a hybrid polymer bend of ingredients like Hybrid Paint Coating.
Spray coat durability is comparable with fusso, so does ease of application
I liked video when i saw the thumbnail.
I think Sonax CC One would have been a better competitor against the other two, since it's also a beginner hybrid-coating!
But it's not sprayable or am I wrong. The test was for exclusively sprayable coatings
Hi Sandro, thanks for product testing on these 3 spray ceramic sealants. As I have never applied a ceramic coating, I'm a little confused and trying to understand the difficulty in applying the product to the applicator by the liquid from a bottle and the spray from a can. Being a spray product, can it be sprayed directly onto the paint, and then spread out with the applicator? Maybe I'm just missing the concept of a spray ceramic product. Cheers.
No you’re not missing anything 🙂
It really is more of a gimmick having it in a spray can as like you mentioned you still have to apply it to an applicator which is just as quick and easy to do with a standard pouring bottle.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing One of the other advantages of a spray can is shelf life. Once you open a bottle of coating, the clock starts ticking which matters if you buy a larger bottle and don't use all the product in a short period of time. The aerosol can allows products like Meguiars to have a long shelf life as it only begins to "cure" once sprayed. You can recoat your car over several years with one can, in theory.
Hey Sandro! Love like always these videos you effortly put in your channel to give us nice information. Ill feedback to you some tips about CanCoat applying the older version and the newer: as it is a spray coating it is made to be easy to apply and in fact you can coat a car in 20 minutes. How? The secret is on the microfobre it brings. You apply 3 or 4 sprays on the towel, apply and buff to level it out. Simple. Applying with applicator is unneceseraly and time-product consuming. Try it that way and you will se a big difference. Cant wait for anothr video of you! Keep it up my man.
Thanks mate and I’ve certainly used Can Coat with towels and if you find that’s been working for you that’s great. I just share what I personally experience and for me I still don’t believe 20mins is realistic without leaving high spots in the finish but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it 🙂
@A. Melbs its not my method. Actually its Gyeon's way to apply it (check UA-cam).
@A. Melbs sure! You dont need too much product and the durability remains the same. MF helps spreading evenly and buffing it easy
Been waiting for this one! Love the Meguiars .
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I sure did Sandro
I’ve done 4 cars with CanCoat, twice each. 30 minutes tops and I’ve never had any application issues. I apply it as recommended - spray on a towel, wipe, flip, wipe. Ignoring the instructions and using your own application process as on the video will indeed take a lot longer. Perhaps try following the manufacturer’s instructions and see. I did 4 cars, two layers, then two more layers 6 months later, then the rest to top Mohs Evo on all four, six months later. Then used it up on lawnmower, snowblower, glass shower, etc.
Can Coat is going to be my 1 year maintenance topper for my Mohs coated car this early spring '24. I'm doing a full 3ph decon. Then top.
Thanks for another video, really glad to see you so active again 👍👍 a bit like yourself I was wondering how the heck they state 20 mins for cancoat??? It is a great product tho 👍 I was wondering did you consider do a best of series? Regards from Northern Ireland.
Thanks mate and yes I do intend on doing some videos going over the best or at least my personal favourite products
Awesome video Sandro. Considering these are entry level coatings, would you need to compound them off before reapplying after 12 months or could you just do a chemical decon and reapply?
Thanks mate, and I think it’s absolutely fine to just do a nice decontamination and reapply them. There’s no rule that says you have to polish unless it’s a longer term result you’re after.
I'd say go over with essence plus after decon for that extra gloss and removal of stains
Great review and solid insights as usual!
-MK
Awesome video Sandro
Thanks for the comparison.
Would you recommend either can coat or go for gyeon one ceramic coating.I have 3 cars to do which is why I thought of can coat. What’s the difference between the 2 products? Cheers
I haven’t tried Gyeon One so I can’t comment on its performance, but it seems as though if you have 3 cars to do, then Can Coat would certainly be the best economical choice.
Awesome video mate so many awesome pointers! 🙏
The Meguiars can you add another coat few months later after first application? Or will it repell the second coating? I just think I’ve missed a few sections on the car so want to redo the whole car.
Thanks Mate.
Thanks mate and I think you can absolutely add another moths later, just give the cars a nice wash and the Meguiars seems very adaptable to use and layer over itself.
I may have missed it, when you did the 2 layers of the Hybrid coating how long did you wait before applying the second coat ?
A couple of hours
To me the best test before application is 2💧💧 over glass to see how much real silica or quartz silane is in the product. So far Gyeon is the only one with real ceramic even the spray nozzles get clogged.
Hey Sandro - thank you for the video and comparison. Wonderful. Two questions - First, why is MHPC so expensive in Australia? It's just $50-$60 here in the USA and after conversion that works out to $73-$87 AUD. But you paid twice that. Just curious if you know. Second, if these products degrade after only 2 or 3 washes with Multi X (and other similar chemicals) then what is the benefit of it in the end? Isn't a a cheaper version of them (TW Seal n Shine, or other spray waxes, hand applied waxes, point being shorter duration protection products, etc) the better/more cost effective alternative? I personally have used MHPC and loved it. But I also don't like long lasting protection products (6 month +). I love the once a month or every other wash application of protection. It's much more enjoyable for me. Thanks!
Haha Seal n Shine is garbage compared to these products.
SNS is only good at short term chemical durability tests. The kind of tests that are so far from real world exposure it’s not funny. Otherwise that product is between bad to average in every other attribute.
Meguiar’s hybrid paint coating (for example) has much better water behavior, better self-cleaning behavior, gloss and shine, and real world durability.
My pleasure mate and my guess is that Meguiars is so expensive here because the Aussie distributor is placing huge markups. Multi-X or really most stronger APCs shouldn’t be used and certainly not in an aggressive physical manner to clean a coating, they really aren’t maintenance products. Chemical resistant tests of sorts are conducted by many brands to predict durability. If you enjoy reapplying paint protection products more often there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, it’s really more of a personal thing, and in the end the market decides what people want and whether or not certain types of products will sell.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks for the quick reply Sandro. I should have known that. Not sure where my mind went in that moment I posed the question. Makes perfect sense and thank you again.
Loved the video! How long should i wait before i apply layer 2 on meguiars hybrid paint coating?
I think a couple of hours is about right
This is because the top coat on Sonax CC36 is just polymer net shield
Amazing video as always.. could we get a comparison like this for hydrophobic glass cleaners? i feel like all i hear about is RainX.. but its an old product so surely something better exists now
Great video as always Sandro. How long did u wait between first and second coats of gyeon can coat? Cheers
Thanks and it was an hour between layers
I'd go for the Gyeon as it's $65 vs $110 for the Sonax, so I couldn't get the Cancoat and a bottle of Wet Coat for $100. Thanks.
Question - I had Gyeon Infinite Evo applied professionally on my car. Once yearly I am supposed to top it off with CanCoat. Honestly this looks a bit intimidating. Could the Meguair's be used to top off the Gyeon coating? Ive heard on several detailing channels that ceramic coatings tend to be compatible, but that its probably best to stick with the brand you have as a base. But if I am going to screw up the top off, leave high spots and ruin the finish, it doesent make sense to stick to that brand right?
It’s really one of those things that’s very subjective and you will get different answers and opinions from everyone. I think it’s important to feel comfortable with what you’re working with and many of us that apply coatings for a living sometimes forget that’s there’s a learning curve we too had to go through. The Meguiars seems to look, feel and behave not all that differently to Can Coat so I feel it may in fact work just fine as a topper in your case and also give you a more friendly and forgiving application saving you some stress.
Sandro, after coming out of the evo series, would you rather choose cancoat evo or cquartz lite? I've been using lite for some years now, it just outperforms the old cancoat. How about now? Can Cancoat evo keep up with lite?
I think it was close between them years ago when Lite first came out and I still think it would be close today with Evo. I’m not sure I saw a huge potential durability increase with the Evo updated coatings, just more slight, so I do think it would be close and could go either way.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I've been thinking of trying the new cancoat for some time. I will give it a try then, hope I won't be dissapointed. Also I will go with Pure evo when my uk+sic dies, then I'll use cancoat to top pure.
Thanks Sandro
Double layer of GYEON cancoat FTW. I use it as a topper over everything! Challenge accepted, I can do a black car sub 15min.
🙂
Awesome video going to get can coat!
WOW for $155.00 AU for Meguiars, your better off getting the Blue Bottle Hybrid Spray Wax and apply it dry, just like Sandro did way back when it first came out and tested it as well. :)
Fusso Soft 99 is better
It won’t add extra gloss but it will last a year
One can of Fusso will easily last the lifetime of the car
It is not bad to apply and remove if you put a very very thin layer on
It comes off somewhat like the old rubbing compound use to
But the durability of Fusso for the price is unmatched
Also you can top the Fusso with anything you want adding extra life and durability to it.
I like Meguiars, you can touch up on those area where it failing
Aerosol cans can't be shipped on via planes I belive so shipping cost is higher and slower.
I'd go for 2 coats of the Can Coat Evo and, like yourself, I'd take about 60+ minutes per coat. Haste makes waste.
Sandro, here in the US the meguiars is going for $40, with both of the others around $60.
That’s a pretty crazy price difference!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing yeah. I know meguiars is expensive in the UK as well, but it seems like it's totally off the charts in Aus.
Unfortunately bilt hamber stuff is totally overpriced here, 5 liters of autofoam is $50 for example. I think it may not just be the faulylt of the distributors either. Chemicals are extremely inexpensive to manufacture, but they are very expensive to ship overseas because of hazardous ingredients and also because of weight.
Add Covid19 and a War it gets expensive
Can these be used as a topper for ceramic coats?
Can Coat the winner for me
Hello Sandro, please can you write 3 best for you ceramic coatings with max durability time
It’s hard to say mate, I mostly use Pro coatings so I guess Nv Nova Pro and CQuartz Finest are up there in my personal experience.
When you say layered what is the time waiting in between layers
Laying times will vary from product to product as well as environmental factors. Sometimes you can immediately apply a second layer after the first, other times you’ll need to wait several hours. Generally the quicker a coating/sealant flashes/bonds/cures the faster you can layer and vice versa the slower a product is to flash/cure the longer you’ll need to wait.
try ewocar boost . ive been said its so good, better than can coat ...
Such a great review
Thank you mate!
Hey something noone has bothered to mention is what if anything can you do to reduce the number of cloths and applicators you burn through when coating a car? How many panels or sections IS a suede cloth or MF good for? Is there anything I could immediately soak them in until I can get them into the wash? Cheers 🎉
I have covered those topics in a few of detailing vlogs, but typically you should change your suede clothes every 1/2hr or use about 4 per car. You can put your wiping cloths in warm soapy water immediately after use and get some more uses from them but they will still degrade to some extent. I typically use sone good affordable short pile cloth that when bough in bulk are about a dollar each - and just dispose of them after coating use.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Aye thanks for that!
Veros also makes 1 year coating it would be interesting if it can keep up with these coatings. Veros runs 59.99 for a 8oz bottle where I'm located.
Sorry if I missed it. But I skipped a bit to view the chem test. How long did the coatings cure for?
2wks
If I remember right the Meguiars actually says to put 2 coats
Excellent review
I didn't watch the video yet, but I had to say this. It's like you're reading my mind mate. I was just looking at the gyeon can coat and considering picking it up to test. Sheesh. Haha
Thanks bud. Btw where are you based?
Hope the video is helpful and I’m based in Melbourne
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing awesome mate, we're neighbors. I should pop by when I visit next time. Would love to see your workshop and inventory.
7:04 Dang, you can really see the darkening effect of CanCoat on this panel. 10:52 Oh Sandro, I noticed right away that the Sonax was a touch above the rest, and that's saying a lot because CanCoat is very hydrophobic! But then again I'm not your regular person, and I'm a bead chasing maniac. It's not unexpected, though as Sonax has always been top notch and I've been blown away by a couple of their products (Germans are just amazing). 17:12 - 18:11 AMEN BROTHER! I could mention a massive name that's the biggest offender here, but I'll keep it to myself lol. I've already had discussions with him on his page about another topic, to which he implied I was wrong but then ended up giving me an answer that invalidated the whole thread and proved my initial point, beating himself alongside me without even noticing. Oh and he's THE industry leading "expert" that looks down upon the rest, while way more actually knowledgeable and talented detailers out there just share their passion and info without any smoke and mirrors or misleading content, kinda like you ;). Thanks for the content man, I'd always wondered what their ceramic coating was like, but didn't see any reviews anywhere and I didn't wanna be the guinea pig for it. I still to this day always keep some BSD on hand for use as a drying aid/"topper" as it's one of the most hydrophobic, bang for buck products out there, and the gardenia smell is second to none. Also, Perfect Finish has to be my most used abrasive ever. It's my go to for pretty much all 2 stage corrections, and most of my one steps as well (some times I'll have to jump to something harsher if I'm working on hammered and/or harder finishes to 1 step, but 90% of the time it's just SPF with a yellow rupes). Love the super soft modern Range Rovers, as their colors are beautiful and they can be pretty dang hammered and still come out near perfect with just the SPF/Yellow rupes combo because it's such soft clear, and that combo finishes down haze free with the proper technique and specially easy if I'm working in the shop with the A/C on.
once i use meguiars paint coat can i still use other meguiars ceramic waxes on my paint or am i wasting my time?
I think that would be something I’d test out. It’s just so slick and replies everything to start with that I think maybe waiting a few washes to top it would work out better.
Don’t add any of the other Meguiar’s products over HPC.
Only exception is the Hybrid ceramic detailer and M799. But HPC will reject those products for probably a good 6 months. Once HPC starts to decline you can restore some of the hydrophobics with these.
So is $45 USD worth it for Meguiars?
Sounds like a good deal
Thanks!
Great well thought out Video as usual.
Thanks so much for the support mate!!
i got a question ummmm how long do i wait to put on a second coat of can coat?
It varies based on the specific product and your climate/environment - typically 90mins to 3hrs for most products. I discuss layering times in this video towards the ends while I’m coating this car: ua-cam.com/video/gCcVTQ8-v2g/v-deo.html&si=DCYPSb4Nr-VwRNq5
Does anyone know of a product that removes coatings from microfiber towels? I've tried soaking my towels in Surfex HD 10:1 immediately after coating wipe off, but that didn't seem to do the trick. I haven't fully ventured into the ceramic coating game yet because I'm not fond of throwing new microfiber towels away, and they're also hard to recycle from what I understand. Thank you
How long do you have leave can coat between coats?
A couple of hours depending on the weather.
👌👍
Please review meguiars m799
With shipping it comes close to $200 here, it’s just very expensive to try
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing wow that’s so expensive 😨
So CanCoat Evo or CarPro Lite?
If your going Gyeon, get Mohs EVO. Carpro Lite is meh
I like carpro lite with carpro gliss v2. This makes for an excellent durable and super hydrophobic coating!. But if you want a coating that is easy to apply and with excellent durability then I can only recommend gyeon q2 mohs evo
Never saw these in the States.. doesn’t help me much!
Gyeon ftw?
Could be 🙂
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing frankly I would stick with Gyeon and CarPro’s CQuartz, best bang for the buck
Why don’t you wash away the chemicals in between tests? You’re leaving surfactants on the surface and not showing the true coatings
I’ll defend it. It’s probably because if any chemicals are going to be on the surface while you’re driving, you aren’t pulling over to give it a beauty wash. The point is to show resilience and resistance against the same ‘attack’ of chemicals in a progressive manner.
Can you test Roar Coatings?
I honestly don’t know anything about them, but I’m open to trying any brand.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing currently the "top pro coating" and has crazy chemical resistance claims. Been using them for a year now and haven't seen any better hydrophobics out there
@@Tylerrodriguez20 then try to send Sandro some bottles to test out😉
@@kai_291 let's do it. If you're down I'll talk with the owner and make it happen
That would be awesome to see how Roar would stack up against NV Pro, NV Nova Evo and Kamikaze ISM 3.0!
Meguiars 50$ on Amazon.
Would be interested in taking longer amount of time than they say; in other words, push the bounds. Thank you.
Big fan of yours but your application process for can coat is completely wrong. It's not supposed to be applied that thick and that slowly like a traditional ceramic. If you just hit the included towel with 3 sprays per section(half door) and wipe around quickly is basically flashes 95% of the stuff off. It's Hands down the best coating I've ever used. I also like that it last 12 to 18 months which is a perfect amount of time for light polish.
Never understood why people bother with a 3 to 5 year coating which will need a light to moderate polish in a year or so(depending on paint softness) which than just removes the coating. 1 bottle can do close to 5 or 6 cars.
Appreciate that mate but like I mention in the video I used it with the included towel and performed many more tests prior to making the video. The way it performed applying it more consistently in the footage was actually superior to how it performed applying it more sporadically with a cloth. So if anything the performance was better than typical here and more than fair, and the results certainly reflected that.
I know you guys just watch a quick video, but I think you’d be surprised just how time, testing and consideration goes into each video, and it’s not always just following or accepting what the brand tells you or recommends you do, I try to bring my own experiences and insights to every video rather than just regurgitating what you can already find on the brands own website, so I hope you appreciate and find value in that.
Thanks. Weird I had a great experience with it as they instructed. Have a great day!
Nothing weird with having a great experience as instructed 🙂
