Besides Dlux, UK 3.0 and Sic were the 1st coatings I’ve ever applied to a car. Both were very easy to use. Very happy with all three. I am not brand loyal but do stick to what works. It seems a lot of people jump on the next new coating, sealant, etc when it comes out where as you are still using quality products that work.

Cerakote rapid ceramic spray is much easier to use than Megs ceramic spray and has hydrophobic water behavior that is on the same level as JET. The company says layering will enhance the coating so I applied 3 coats in 2 days to a hood. 3 months later the hydrophobics are like day one. I've only washed the panel with dish soap once a week.

[@HeavyProfessor]

Dish soap? Damn.

[@DuzBee]

Broooooo dish soap? You got to be jokes and stuff.

[@danlc95]

I've been using the Optimum line Car Wax Opti-Seal Hyper-Seal Gloss Coat It's taken some time to nail the application for maximum performance, but the resilts have been well worth the effort. Especially with the Gloss Coat. I love that I don't have to throw away applicators / swatches or towels. I can also more easily deliver a "perfect" vehicle to my customers - something I still cant do at work, where we're using Xpel Fusion Plus Premium. The Xpel is way easier than the Ceramic Pro we were using, but I still suck at applying it... 😂 Opti-Seal made it through last winter on my mom's car that I use as a test mule. It retained the integrity of the finish, even as the water behavior trailed off. It gets washed everu onec in a while at a touchless, but the Opti-Seal was able to hang on. Car Wax wouldst have fared so well. On my beater I'll use Car Wax through the spring / summer months. The Hyper Seal is a new addition. I'm curious about it as I got some high spots with it on a vehicle I did at work yesterday. I applied it like I would Gloss Coat or Opti-Seal, letting as much of it flash away before leveling as possible. Not the slickest ypon application, but so far it seems like a winner. I have some on my truck to test through the upcoming winter months. On the truck I also have Gloss Coat, Opti-Seal, 3D Poxy, and a panel with my old top end protection package before I started using Gloss Coat - Duragloss Bonding Agent / 111, with Zymol Carbon on top. So far that on is holding up much better than the 3D Poxy, but it's a little more involved with application. I sort of miss those days where Duragloss was the king of my paint protection options, but the durability of Gloss Coat is om another level by comparison. I should also mention that I do use 3D Speed, and leave it to stand on it's own for protecting paint. Duragloss 101 is another cleaner / sealant that I like. It has super fine abrasives, but leaves a very durable finish. Not as much correction capabilities as Speed, but much longer protection. Thank you again for this video! Very entertaining and very informative!

Mohs evo + Can coat evo combo is easily my fave, it was so easy to apply, even outside in the sun

[@07wrxtr1]

I went with Evo Pure - looks amazing still

[@jinxtacy]

Do you find can coat hard to wipe off? That was kind of my only complaint with can coat but it looks great. I just put it on clear coat though.

[@07wrxtr1]

@@jinxtacy Can Coat was easy if you JUST did your fresh ceramic first... but ... my girls BMW = not fun... Basically Can Coat (in my opinion) is a glorified topper - you get a lot for your money and it looks good - but I think the big thing many reviews leave out: It's a topper but more so - RIGHT AFTER you have spend several days polishing/cleaning/prepping - then standard ceramic of your choice - THEN - can coat on top to finish it off... It's one of those things: It's better than nothing - but - it would not be my first choice on a vehicle that has not been through the whole process... I would go with something easier/faster to spray on / remove - and then just have the conversation about the car needing the full process if they REALLY want Cancoat... CarPro reload is much faster/easier - and obviously is only good for a month or two - but - it would be my first choice on cars with aged ceramic coatings... and if I have a car with ZERO ceramic - I'm going with something fast/easy/simple that maybe only lasts a month but is fast/easy to apply - in that category I have enjoyed the old beadmaker - but now there are "hybrid" ceramics (marketing?) that "allegedly" last longer... I guess it depends on paint quality/use case/if the car sits outside/weather/etc...

[@jinxtacy]

@@07wrxtr1 Thanks for your feedback. I do polish the paint, clay, wash, IPA and use Can Coat. It's pretty rough cars, but I don't trust my two year old bottle of CQUK3.0. I just use it on the girlfriend's parents '07 Pilot because I noticed some signs of the clear weakening and wanted to delay it a bit. I'm trying it out on the MR2, but really was looking to test out the waters as I only ceramic coat wheels. I also use a suede applicator to move the product around instead of the spritzer. Realistically for my car and the gf car's I kind of like shorter term protection (usually Wolfgangs Sealant, Seal and Shine, or Meg HCW). For her parents' and sister's car I'm kind of leaning longer term protection. The maintenance on those cars are so random and they live outside in Texas and of course they're black (no one listens to me when I tell them you can't care for a black car that's not German). They think I'm insane after dinner I'll just go outside to wash their cars because I have access to them. I Think Meg's Hybrid Ceramic detailer or something like Reload to go with car washes might be the best bet on a long term protection. I think what Can Coat promises is probably okay for me to try to keep up with 5 cars.

[@TheEnvelopeOZ]

Evolved Detailing has a tonne of series with different categories, pitting products up against each other for long duration's, it's very helpful to see in real world use, Mirch and Platinum Potions have always come up trumps in all sorts of categories, very surprising since both companies are local and never get spoken about, it's amazing how they both perform against the big name products. I'd plead with people that are going to spend a lot of money, to support proven products at very affordable prices and good customer service.

I am watching this a year too late Sandro. It's a great presentation. I have experience with many of these products (Lustre, Jet, Boost, Fusso Coat, and Polishangel top my list along with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Graphene paste wax which is super glossy).

[@kostas4758]

Hello Sandro, rupes uno advanced review coming anytime soon mate ?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It is in my list to review but unfortunately I can’t say when - too many products

[@drmikeyb1]

Rooky question, on the sealants don't they require 24 hour cure time in an enclosed environment. I don't have access to something enclosed but a big canopy. Is their one that doesn't require such a long curring time. It's been awhile Sandro I hope you've been well my friend. Take care bud.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate I’m well! Typically it’s ceramic coatings that require 24hrs of curing before getting wet, but there are products like Carpro Release you can apply over them to protect them during that period. Spray sealants actually tend to be fastest curing, some within an hour or two and more traditional sealants and waxes are usually there from a few hours to half a day. But curing times will vary from individual products.

[@drmikeyb1]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing as always sir thank you. I didn't know if you'd remember since I used to bug you continuously with questions. Always a response thank you so much sir. Take care

[@DuzBee]

Thank you for your effort. Do Traditional Sealants/Spray Sealants go under or on top of wax. Clear coat then sealant then wax??? Thanks.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

You can honestly go either way, but typically yes, the spray sealant would go underneath.

[@katiecannon8186]

If durability is not an issue for me at all, should I use Boost v2 as my base & older Boost as a detailer? Can I use older Boost 3 or 4 times a week?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes that should work well as a combination, and yes, you could really use the original Boost as often as you like.

[@katiecannon8186]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thank you!

[@jacksoni349]

If I were to add a coating in the spring and fall, would you go with Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Paint Coating or 303 Graphene Coating? I currently use Turtlewax SealNShine which for the price is great but does not seem to last long enough.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Honestly either one - I’d say as a single layer 303 will be more durable but two layers of Meguiars could be similar

[@xXYannuschXx]

A little question regarding the application of the 303 graphene coating: how does this coating "react" to plastic trim? Will it leave visible residue, like paste waxes/sealents, or is it ok if a little of the product gets onto it? My car has a few nasty spots with plastic trim and it makes using paste waxes too cumberson for that reason.

[@corinnelaking569]

I keep going back to the Meguiar's ceramic sprays, both spray wax and Q.D. The wax is finicky to apply under hot daylight outdoor conditions. But it's durable and stays slick. I love the detail spray as a drying aid to finish up with the towels. Have dabbled with their ceramic trim restorer, but haven't quite gotten application techniques down pat to achieve the results I'm seeking. I will try again, though. Thanks for another great video, Sandro!🙂

[@07wrxtr1]

Cerekote is nice on a few different types of black plastic - most notably the lower windshield cowl

[@corinnelaking569]

@07wrxtr1 yes, I'm going to try either that or Solution Finish next. The Meguiar's stuff made my trim quite hydrophobic, but did nothing to restore an even, dark finish.

[@07wrxtr1]

@@corinnelaking569 Yeah the Cerekote is insane on certain types of plastic - Best results for my car were the wiper cowl area, and engine compartment plastics.... the side door moldings where your side windows are = zero... I will have to replace those. I think it does best on hard plastics, anything else is a mixed battle. Best of luck!

[@corinnelaking569]

@07wrxtr1 I can imagine how that could be. The lower window trim on my F-150 is closer to a rubberized plastic rather than hard plastic such as the wiper cowl, or my top bed rails. Nothing seems to work on the window trim except dressing, which of course runs off down over the paint after the first rainfall. 🫤

[@makagio]

what would be your sealant + wax combo? or which wax do you suggest to use over a sealant I am also in Australia and thinking of using Poorboys EP-P + either their Natty Red Paste Wax or Collinite 476 paste wax

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

If durability is the goal, I’d say using 476 over Poorboys should look great and last pretty well.

[@makagio]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks for the reply, so just for my understanding, you are saying don't use a sealant? Just use the 476 and re-apply when needed? I am also consider the Poorboys Black Hole + wax to use on a car with minor swirls//scratches that has thin single stage paint remainig, to help add some life back

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

No I was saying you could use 476 over Poorboy’s as a combination. Poorboy’s BlackHole topped with Poorboy’s EX-P is a great combination to fill, enhance and protect paint.

For spray protection Im planning to apply for twice a month. Or once a month Which product would you recommend? Turtle wax felx, sonax ceramic spray, meguiars ceramic wax, or i find sonax brilliant shine detailer is very cost effective Would you say if i only can have 1 spray lsp sonax bsd is the way to go?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

BSD is very durable, chemical resistant and hydrophobic, but can be difficult to apply streak free and a bit grippy in its finish - so if TWFlex is causing you application issues (as you mentioned) you may struggle even more with BSD. If you want my personal recommendation for an easy to apply spray sealant that performs really great maybe give Nv Nova Boost V2 a go.

[@MlleVB]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing im afraid its not available in my country how about seal n shine So the competition is Sonax bsd vs tw seal n shine

What do you think of sealant with a liquid polish form? I'm planning to do a light polish on my car i think i would like to use my polish machine also to do lsp Would you recomennd menzerna ultra lock or tw grapahene max wax or meguiars? Only big brands are available on my country

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Whether a was it sealant is in paste, liquid or spray form doesn’t really determine how good or bad it is - it’s more about the individual product. Ultra Lock+ is beautiful to machine apply and has great looks, behaviour and slickness, but isn’t the most durable, though you could just reapply it more often. Not sure how the other 2 machine apply, but they could be also be good and even more durable.

[@rooboy99]

Nice video Sandro although i almost had a flashback to nightmares about Scholl W6. I found it very difficult to remove and only applied it to half a bonnet before retiring it to the cupboard. It did give give a deep rich gloss to the section i applied it to but it would have killed me using it on a whole car. Scholl did say they were going to bring out a new version of it though. Finally with Nova Evo, how do u find it compares to Nova Pro? I was told by the guys at waxit that Pro is more chemical resistant but around the same overall durability. Thoughts on this please? Thanks

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes I remember you struggles with W6 and hopefully Scholl will improve that aspect. Yes I agree Nova Evo and Pro are both quite durable and Pro is more chemically resistant, but I would also say it will last a little longer and is more accepting to layering which can further add to its durability.
