Are Amazon Ceramic Coatings Any Good? Tested & Reviewed! Mr.Fix | Hktianmei | GSLS

[@ay735]

Stuck around for the full 27minutes thanks to your presentation style. Objective piece here yet again. Much thanks.

[@thatsballer]

This is what I assume some professional detailers use when I ask what coating they use, and they answer along the lines of "propriety coating that only our company has"

[@davidmorales7371]

That's a giant red flag to hear 😂. They must take their customers for idiots

[@saygoodbyetoprivacy]

Translation: "Garbage from china"

[@RhynoE28]

Detailer here. This comment has me dying. Lol. But I'm finally starting my own business but I always got in arguments with owners at other places I worked at about this exact thing. They kept saying "we use it because of cost" my response was always "then charge more!" People really will pay more for high quality results because our cars are OUR imagine. Not to mention lots of people own certain cars because of their job and how it looks as a professional. They don't want to come back in a year mad after it all went to shit. I've seen it too many times.

[@pdeblois1880]

There’s obviously no “miracle product”. Especially when all these companies have multiple products in their inventories. A product for every part on the car. We probably spend more on finish protection products than ever before. Nowadays the clear coat is what’s protecting the paint and the products out there do only one job and that’s to prolong the life of the clear coat. In the old days there were perhaps 10 products at the auto shop…now there’s 10,000. I think we need to find a product that fills the bill for many of us. One that we can just use and not worry that we’re going to compromise our “coating”. Auto finishes coming from the manufacturer are the best ever been…..so let’s not get crazy!

[@xp2autocare]

Depending on the basic ingredient....1. silazane ( phps /opsz : phpz (hydropilic-hard) and opsz (hydrophobic-medium hard) 2. Silane (hydrophobic) 3. Polysiloxane (hydrophobic) Lot of amazone coating made from siloxane (silicone resin) its because by the price (cheap price) ..... I think jet contains a silane on it Nice review and investigate👍👍👍

[@tonymontana897]

Thank you Sandro. Once again you have shown true professionalism with your unbiased testing. You are among only a few who I trust to get information from. The others can go jump. That Nova Jet looks to be quite an amazing product. I'll have to look into this a little more.

[@aprilseery640]

I loved this economy type potential ceramic coating test. I was curious if the next time you do a “knock off” vs test, you could include a well known ceramic against them.

[@prestonbeast]

Nv lustre as a base coat, jet on top. and maintained with snow and boost has changed my life, its unreal depth and gloss. and last me 1 year. NV is the king IMO.

[@barrycook8116]

Love nova!!

[@sheepstardetail]

Well done mate! Thanks for taking the time, spending the money, and going through the hours testing these.

[@denniscolyn5435]

Very well done and said Sandro, you're exactly right, why would you spend all the time and energy preparing the paint for a coating and then use a cheap coating that doesn't even look or last as long as a quality spray sealant.

[@Dortch3]

Although never intending to purchase such, I had wondered about amazon's offerings... Thank you for your efforts here and for all of your much appreciated videos.

[@MikeBee77]

I am super glad I watched this video. The main reason I was considering any of these cheap ceramic coatings was to put an extra layer of protection for some solar panels for outdoor lighting, but would not waste money on these stuff. I appreciate the video!!

[@TheAjs71]

Appreciate you taking the time to complete this very detailed comparison Sandro. I'm by no means a professional detailer, but I've been mucking around with cars and bikes since the 80s. Forty years or so has proven that when it comes to automotive cleaning / detailing products, you really do pay for what you get! I can only assume the 'thumbs down' are from those who bought the Amazon crap...It must be very satisfying for your clients knowing that you only use quality products on their vehicles. Cheers, Ant.

[@Kingisback8471]

Now cause you think you are professional the Amazon Ceramic Coating is crap for you. I bought and applied ceramic coating from ebay the cheap one and it's being 2 years and 3 months now still easy to wash, water beads, even when rainning don't have to use wipers only in heavy rain. It doesn't mean cause it's cheap is shit right.

[@davidamante935]

I tried Mr Fix on my brand new Polo GTI and it is a really good product in my opinion. The Beading is really good and the level of gloss too. I will see how much it will last on the surfaces, but first impressions are really good

[@harisyoung4110]

its more than 1 year now since your comment, so how long did the coating last ?

[@abdullahmukhtar6584]

How much did it last?

[@OzKidzFun]

It is a good coating for money, just make sure to apply in three coats!

[@nicorallysport]

Thank you sandro for his very interesting tests! 👍 👍 👍

[@idealdetailoc3677]

Even though I would never apply one of these ceramic coatings on a customer's car, I really appreciate the video and the ability to share with the customer which one would be better if they wanted to buy one and apply it. I'm not all about the sale, if the customer is more educated and happy doing it themselves, more power to them. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I know how much it takes.

[@MH-wm6df]

I’m sure you need to justify a $1,000 ceramic job, at minimum. This shit is so easy to apply , more customers need to understand that so they’re not getting ass raped by detainers who are charging so much money. A local company was charging $5299 for an entire car for 3 costs of ceramic and some $400 clear wrap. Lol

[@idealdetailoc3677]

@@MH-wm6df That's crazy. I only sell things I have already tested as much as I can. Ceramic is one of those things that is now a buzz word. Everything has "Ceramic" in it and people are getting false claims and misinformation about it. Makes it hard to sell when some car detailers are selling a "ceramic coating" for $300 and you find it's nothing more than a quick spray they bought at their local auto parts store.

[@danlc95]

I have to admire you not offering a ceramic coating. They can be a pain to install and presents a possibility of needing to fix something when you should be delivering the car to the client. I often consider going back to Duragloss 111 + 601 as my strongest offering. It always treated me well and held up.

[@AllTorque]

This really needed a couple of premium brand products in the test to provide a benchmark but a very thorough video other than that and a great watch!

[@barbara4944]

Sandro!!! 👋 Nice seeing another video from you. Had to laugh when you were trying to wipe off that GLS....thought you were going to tip the table off with all the struggling! Lol

[@RenoveAutoService]

Thanks Sandro I have test the MR fix ceramic coating on a everyday car The product have a durability of 3 months only As you said the price is not the only thing we must consider on a ceramic product Thanks again to open the eyes on the real world of Amazon cheapest ceramics

[@Ayerborne]

Fantastic comparison. I had a future video idea for you involving cleaning/water spot removal/correcting glass. Not the most fun thing but an essential one! Take care.

[@craigconroy3785]

Wow thank you for a very detailed video, it looks like to me that a silicon spray coating & detailing the car every four to five months is the best solution.

[@Logi798]

Finally a video on these! And from you! Perfect👌🏻

[@naelmeri3727]

I miss the test panels. Sandro you’re awesome man!

[@ekarabardak]

Great review Sandro. I’m keen to hear your thoughts on Avalon King Armour Shield 9 ceramic. I use it and have found it easy to work with.

[@DustinB855]

Avalon is a good coating. Have had it on my wrx for 3 years now and it's breaking down now but I'm happy with it

[@murdaya69]

Though i have never experienced any ceramic coatings on any of my vehicles but i do use Nova Jet and it is worth every dollar spent.

[@The0bfuscation]

I’m so glad I watched this video! I really want the Nova Jet spray but as of today (1/4/21) they are sold out

[@tkx86]

Crazy to think the Nova Jet outdoes all these so called ceramic coatings from amazon, I would rather pay for C Quartz car pro knowing I am getting what I am paying for than risk buying this stuff off Amazon and this video in my mind confirmed in the car detailing game you generally get what you pay for like many things in life. As always thankyou for the informative video.

[@Exoseven]

Good video! I was curious about these ceramic coatings, thx! 👍

[@robertmyatt9177]

Great video I have used Mr mix bought from e bay for £3:40 delivered So for that price I think it's great 😁

[@4syth]

So, what I learned here is to just keep buying JET. It's done me well so far.

[@mikeg338]

it looks like jet actually had the best hydrophobic properties. it doesn't even sheet, water just flat out won't stick. from gsls to jet there is just a straight line of no water on jet side, with all the water pooling from hkt toward gsls and still sheeting off while jet is already bare. nice!

[@johnsword8954]

After 8 years, I was able to keep my car's paint shinning like new when its clean using only Mr fix 9H. The only down side is I have to reapply a single coat every 6 months. But I think its totally worth burning few a calories considering it is cheap.

[@stuartkipp6533]

The truth is out there🤣 There's even more out there that you get in your insta or FB feeds🤨 Well presented and tested mate👍

[@twostroke12v71]

I appreciate your time to make the video. Informative and had helped me out many thanks

Really nice work! Thanks a lot. Merci de france pour m'avoir aidé a choisir ma ceramic bon marché :)

[@jackmccourt6180]

"The stiffer and harder the better, in my experience"... That's what she said!.

[@ScottHD]

My experience (and in my testing) is that they are extremely inconsistent with their batches. I've had one Mr Fix last less than a week, one more than a year. Edit>> the one that stands out is the Nano Age/Nano Bond 9H and it's like $20 USD.

[@FakeJeep]

Honestly going to give Jet a try after this... for the price its performance is amazing. As always a great video.

[@King_drew]

I would like to see it go up against meguiars.

[@ScottH1130]

It only has one review and it’s rated poor. Wondered when this video started if they were sponsored by this channel somehow.

[@richardledesma1675]

29 bucks here in the US for a 4-6 months supply. That’s a steal and honestly it’s affordable. Not going to lie, I skimp in certain areas of car cleaning such as interior cleaner/protectant because a lot of them are adequate, and they are only exposed to UV rays being inside the cabin, and on air fresheners because they’re just air fresheners. But I’m forsure adding this to my car deep cleaning routine for the exterior

[@marcusmaximus451]

Absolutely superb vlog Sandro I think jet is my favourite one as I like the way the water runs off so well take care best regards and stay safe to you and everyone out there Mark from billericay in the U.K. 👍👍 🇬🇧

[@Ozzcaddy]

Good video Sandro. Once the first panel was outside, you could see the dramatic difference between the products to how dark they were, with Nova Jet leaving the others well behind. Brian from Apex Detail also uses similar if not the same gloss meter in his videos, and always takes a reading before and after to show the difference in data, as your eye cannot provide that information to others, except via the camera. I would think it would be the Novice who may buy these Amazon ceramic coatings, where a person at a Beginners level of detailing would know of the reputable brands, but may use Amazon to purchase a reputable brand at a lower cost. Cheers, Ozz

[@pdeblois1880]

I don’t know about you but the JET is the best performance I’ve ever seen and I’ve been detailing for over 40 years.

[@nirmankesari9703]

Great work, quality content. It was so helpful to decide. Thank you!

[@satbiranand]

Well tested and explained, great work 👍

[@josephippolito4921]

Yeah I was thinking that most auto detailers buy these ceramic coatings for $6 to $30 and charge you $300 for coating. Which I mean if it works and protects the car don’t blame the detailers would do the same thing 😊

[@kenj1424]

Great test as always Sandro.

[@Crraziee]

I liked that nova jet stuff… looked pretty solid to me 🤷‍♂️

[@detailcentral]

I appreciate your information. I use Mr. Fix on 5 of my vehicles and has been on the vehicles for 3 plus years with not reapplicatiion, and it is doing great. Still repells water better than you give credit. I have got my monies worth with Mr Fix

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

That’s great to hear, but I saw dozens different Mr Fix coatings on Amazon and eBay all with different packaging and claims so it’s quite hard to really know what your getting!

[@vitalysierend]

This is my favourite channel if I want to gather some information on various products. You do a fantastic job on showing basically any aspect of the tested products. For me this is the way to go, nearly a scientific approach. I hope you will get to way more subscribers so this hard work of yours will finally pay of. Keep it up! I forgot to mention: Also the quality of the videos keeps up to your high standard so the viewer experience is great in every single aspect. Again, great job!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

[@HaribAli]

Hi, thank you for your detailed review of these. I personally bought a amazon ceramic coating called 'Diamond 10H' and I had nothing to compare it to. Just wondering if you are going to do a video on amazon graphene coating? I would love to see graphenecompared to ceramic coatings.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I haven’t really seen a lot of cheaper Amazon graphene coatings but I’ll add it to the list, I think it could also be quite interesting.

[@goverat]

I love these comparisons, it's nice to see them side by side Be really cool if you left them outdoors and revisited them monthly, not so much for the cheap ones, but more the quality ones

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate!

[@AB-C1]

Great video mate! Just in nick of time as I was contemplating buying one of these coatings last 3 weeks been thinking on it humming and arring as to whether they're shite or actually like the proper stuff but factory direct or something rebranded. Only thing I would say is I WISH you had done en against a proper ceramic coating and/or graphene coating for comparison to see if they even hold up as that would be interesting to see whether they even hold up like they claim. Having had a ceramic coating when they first came out when I bought a brand new BMW back in 2007 I paid quite a bit extra to have the paint ceramic coated. Not sure how long it lasted tbh, but I'd think not as long as it was supposed to like 2 years or something like it was supposed to. Anyway good video maybe you could do a comparison between the Top brands ceramics and graphene mate? Like Autoglym, Turtle Wax, and a few of the other Top brands to see how they perform side by side.. Thanks from London England 👍💪😎

I detect that you're a stickler for spelling, grammar, and all things linguistics Sandro!!! Good on you mate - we're going to be a dying breed in the world soon.... Glad I use Nova Jet on my cars!!! Chose them based on your 'recommendation' too about 6 months ago. :D :D :D

what thing people need to understand is nano coating hardness is not using mohs scales but pencils scale (yes pencil like a hb crayon)

[@MM-rj7gu]

U need on the left and right side of the glass a none coated area, so every coating has the same condition. The right coating gets water from 10 o’clock so it drops the water right on the Earth. Obviously the right coating is the best but what would happen if there’s no coated area at the edge. And: the other middle ones have to run the water downwards.

[@markpayne7680]

[@eppyz]

Any Si02 based coatings Achilles Heel is Water Spots. Out here where I live? In the SoCal Low Deserts with temps on average 115F and with monsoons that come by really show how these coatings fail. I am not talking about just these mentioned, I have never used these, I have used other brands from CarPro ect. When you combine extreme heat, and rain, then back to extreme heat all within a 30 minute time span these coatings create water spots that are so bad you literally have to compound your entire vehicle. Yes, you can put this or that on top of the coating but defeats the whole sales pitch for the coatings then doesn't it? You say coating in a sentence at a car show around here they all will roll their eyes at you. I do feel coatings have a place in the detail arsenal but I do feel they are overhyped and over priced for what they are. Keep in mind Si02 runs about $3 a pound and there is only fractions of that in your $70 bottle of your nanocoating. So what does work well in these extreme conditions? Well, I have found that carbonized polymers like CarPro Gliss work reasonable well, MUCH better than Si02 as a stand alone. So much so, I would skip the coating all together and just use Gliss. You will lose the abrasion resistance, but you won't have nearly the water spot issues. Also, Polyamino silicones work very well. Duragloss 111 and 105 come to mind. Side by side they worked so well vs a nano coating though do need to be applied more frequently. So its all a give and take. People will argue left and right, but I have seen it first hand with my own eyes, with my own cars. Just trying to pass the info along. Take it from it whatever you like. 😎

[@COC785]

Have you tried Cquartz SiC? It's supposed to be more resistant to water spots and slicker than Gliss.

[@eppyz]

@@COC785 no tried other Si02 based products and they water spot way to easily. Imagine a thunderstorm then 110F heat on your coated vehicle? You basically have to compound the whole vehicle. Have had much better luck using a polyamino silicone base sealant just works for my area and application. Si02 isn't the greatest in some applications and areas.

[@luiscaldeira7458]

great review Sandro :) what you would preffer nova jet or gyeon can coat in durability and overall performance? also the towels from the aplication of nova jet should not be reused in paint like ceramic coats?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I’d expect Can coat to last longer as it is a true ceramic coating rather than a spray sealant/coating like Lustre, other characteristics are harder to compare without doing a side by side test but I’d expect Lustre to perhaps look and feel a little nicer, and yes you can reuse the towels, but they will over time start to become hydrophobic as is the case with most spray sealants

Great presentation to help with a proper evaluation of these products. Towards the end though I believe you may gotten a bit too philosophical regarding the costly research that top notch brands have gone through (point well taken nonetheless). I DON'T WANT TO $PEND TOO MUCH if you know what I mean 😉 so many folks like me will accept the nondurability of these products just as long as they're good enough to last between 3 - 5 wash cycles and still remain affordable. Thanks again for the video as I found it very helpful! 👍

[@FreddyGunawan]

Can't believe jet as spray coating has the best performance

[@eppyz]

Also am curious what type of mask are you wearing while applying any kind of coating? Some of these coatings have tons of VOC's in them and are not healthy to inhale. Do you know of any type of VOC free coatings out there for those that are sensitive to the VOC's in these products? Just for people to know that are interested in trying to do a coating themselves and want to give it a go.
