[@rasulmuratov6772]

Once again,thank you Scott for all your product test videos! You've saved me a ton of money and time!

[@jockguy24]

Thanks for all your hard work, I appreciate it.

[@mickc4633]

I really enjoy the nova products. They seem to work really good for me on my black truck and my Harley and ease-of-use that application. All of the prep work. And I don’t wash my truck much in the winter if I can’t wash it the right way I don’t wash usually Comes out beautiful in the spring . I can use it and I’m not a professional and my boy cleans up so easy 100 miles in the rain lanes up easy clean

[@rooboy99]

I use NV Evo. Very easy to apply and buff off . Let's go Aussies !! Thx for the update

[@fskof]

Gyeon Mohs is an absolute beast. I’m also watching the Kamikaze closely to see if all of the hype is worth it.

[@markb3866]

Great job. Thanks

[@knightwolf200612]

Here in Europe, Gyeon apears to be one of the best coating contenders. Mohs is their best paint coating product. All Gyeon products appears to be extremely good compared to most others. Glad you test it out so we can see what to expect, and what surprises us.

[@Ian_P]

NV Evo and Pro. Impressive 👍

[@kkutube1972]

Glad you got Klasse in there.

Malco is done. If it was on my car I'd redo it.

[@barrycook8116]

I live in Florida and I will save NV evo has been going strong for almost 4 years.

[@Rocheman79]

Feynlab still looking good

[@DarrelMartinez]

Would you do a top contender one with all the top lets 5 of each test?

[@r.k862]

Hi Scott. What's the best ceramic coating for a polished out oxidized paint that will not allow oxidisation of clearcoat to appear again? I heard someone said cquartz 3.0

[@neildorrity9507]

Nova Car Care, Gyeon q2 by far the best

[@Jopakilo]

I am surprised there is no carpro

[@ssing7113]

So is this just set outside. I couldn’t imagine if it was driven and washed weekly 😳

[@andygold]

Would any of the still remaining coatings have an edge on gloss compared to the others?

[@rooboy99]

Hey Scott, when's the next update on this one due pls?

[@dacavalcante]

What about water spot? Can you spot a difference between the products?

[@prophinishnyc31]

Nice I would have loved to see Soft99 Fusso against most of these

[@DT-yt2zh]

Any of those coatings where the surface tension breaks and then slowly releases the water seem like "failed" to me.

[@DK-pr9ny]

12 month update coming soon?

[@johngaspar4425]

Their website is an Amazon forest, I get lost in it, and I can't confirm they have a Mac version.

Why did this serie ended?

[@cjburn2758]

Feynlab Clite is the only non professional coating Feynlab let's amateurs get their hands on. It would be interesting to see their other coatings in future videos.

[@DjBann]

Feynlab Clite is 🔥🔥🔥 Very underrated coating for sure

[@cruzzindodge]

I was hoping to see cerakote on this test 😫 I have used the trim coating but was wondering about the paint and glass ceramic coatings

[@zanesnyder6229]

It works really well and easy to install but only lasts a couple months

[@macthomasson2536]

Why do you not keep past winners in your new tests? Like CQuartz UK 3.0 . I really would like to see who's the heavyweight champion❤

[@billfitzgerald1132]

I have used Avalon King on two cars now, it seems to hold up well but the cars have both been garaged. Have you had any experience with that coating?

[@roscopervis]

Where have you been?

[@PeteyMcSavage]

Biggest surprise is simioniz gyeon moh and nv and Feynlab great products and they are inexpensive

[@victoryensured7137]

Gyeon mohs dominates europe as we don't have NV, Fenylab or Kamikaze

[@Exoseven]

Malco is weak, but I would give it a pass. Simoniz is doing good for a sprayed coating.

[@davida7713]

Feynlab ceramic lite is insane for a cheap entry level coating

[@aestheticdetailstudio3939]

ceramic lite will do 3 years performing at that level if maintained. ive been a feynlab installer since 2020. the coatings just work.

[@dthor6922]

Whats the verdict? Which one won?

[@jackson7667]

Why dont you use a decontamination soap, or a tar remover, or iron remover to really remove all of the contaminates that may be hiding the coatings performance? Especially when sitting this long often times a good decon can go a long ways for re-revealing the coating and therefor bringing its performance back.

[@rooboy99]

I'd say it's best not to. It's currently showing how these coating perform with no maintenance which is a good thing. I think after the final ones fail, then see if any can be bought back to life

[@Brisket9392]

If it's ready to be re-applied, it's failed. The Malco/Blackfire/Adams is done.

[@kevinkleinhenz6511]

Are there any products that last over a year that can be purchased at Auto Zone, O Reilly or the like?

[@charlesbrown2369]

No

[@shakedown067]

I’ve search a decent amount and can’t find anything on prepping a car after a ceramic coating has broken down. I’m on year 3 of a 3 year coating and can tell it needs to be prepped and reapplied. I use a spray ceramic on top that helps short term, but want to make sure it’s protected as best as I can from the FL sun.

[@roscopervis]

In the 3 years, have you followed the 3pH wash system?

[@rasulmuratov6772]

If there's no deep scratches,just go with iron remover,wash it with a clay mitt, and do a light polish.

[@roscopervis]

There needs to be a series of videos that explain how to properly maintain a ceramic coating. That doesn’t involve topping UNLESS you have fully demineralised and deconned the paint first. Only apply a topper if the performance level of the coating isn’t as it should be. By adding toppers all the time, you’ll never know what the coating is doing and what the toppers are doing. Your coating may actually be ok, but smothered under dead layers of toppers that are sandwiching in all the contamination, killing hydrophobics and gloss.

[@MrRichardyc]

I installed Gyeon Pure EVO about 11 months ago, it's weak just like that in your video, might have to recoat it again as soon as it is warmer outside.

[@UndressforAndres]

Do a proper decon before you come to the final conclusion

[@rivakhoffman4825]

Installed Gyeon Pure Evo on my 2020 Subaru Crosstrek, which is an outdoor car living in the searing heat and dusty environment of Scottsdale AZ. I did a full decon including iron removal , clay bar and Car Pro Descale acidic car shampoo. Following the "decon" I did a comprehensive 2 step paint correction with Koch Chemie products. Once finished, I applied 2 coats of the Gyeon Pure Evo coating, then let the car cure in my garage for 1 week before exposing it to the harsh Arizona elements. I am happy to say at 28 months the paint is still super hydrophobic, has a an outstanding brilliance ( 98.6 on my gloss meter) and is hanging in there! The secret to any ceramic coat longevity is maintenance. All ceramic coatings are a naturally diminishing clear coating additive! The Subaru is power washed with a Kranzle and shampooed with Car Pro Reset every 2 weeks without failure. Once a month I apply Gyeon Cure Ceramic booster as a topper. In summary I believe I can easily get the 36 - 48 months longevity with Gyeon Pure Evo as they advertise. You just have to follow the proper steps and put in the time. It took me 2 solid days to properly prep the car and install the Pure Evo coating. There are no short cuts.

[@roscopervis]

@@rivakhoffman4825 have you wash the coating with descale and remove fallout since application? Or are the hydrophobics layers of toppers?

[@rivakhoffman4825]

@@roscopervis I use Carpro Descale every 60 days. Great stuff.

[@MrRichardyc]

@@rivakhoffman4825 all sounded good until you told us you are applying Gyeon Cure every month, so all these gloss and hydrophobicity you are seeing could come from that. I could spray my car with Gyeon Cure or any ceramic topper and the paint too will look glossy and has awesome hydrophobicity, so not sure what you are trying to prove.

[@sogron007]

Please do car guys hybrid wax

[@rand49er]

Where is Scott? He hasn't posted anything for two months. Is he okay?

[@ScottHD]

I'm still here... updates coming soon. I injured my arm + have a lot of "life" going on right now... trying to get to having some updates for you guys!

[@roscopervis]

Based on this test and the cost and ease of use, there is a winner already, but we’ll see how this progresses.

[@jtekz_]

which one is that in your opinion?

[@roscopervis]

@@jtekz_ the product that is performing the best based on how little it cost. It’s the second cheapest proper ceramic coating per ml. It’s also one of the top 2 performers I’d say. What would you say it is?

[@Turbogto_guy]

I’m interested to know which one it is too

[@roscopervis]

@@Turbogto_guy it’s a proper high solids ceramic coating, not a wax or a sealant, and is the second cheapest of those, based on the cost per ml of product. On the panel, it is one of the four best performing ones, I’d argue it’s one of the best two. The NV ones are expensive so it’s not them…
