Directions: 1. Shake well 2. Spray half a panel sparingly 3. Immediately spread even, buff in, and buff off 4. Use a clean “final wipe” towel and check for perfection before moving to next section or panel.

[@apexdetail85]

The market is saturated with these types of products....Have you found YOUR favorite in the sea of quick detailers?

[@tobyhigginbotham2564]

Apex Detail I love using Wolfgang mixed 1 oz to 32. Works great!

[@armindoerr]

Sonax BSD.

[@spirokaci]

Polish Angel Forever. I'm car enthusiast, not a detailer therefore a bit more expensive won't bankrupt me. The results tho., are insane.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

CG v07 as drying aid Gyeon wet coat monthly

[@XxVendetaxX1]

Chemical Guys VO7 spray as drying aid is amazing, with Meguiars fast finish afterwards is a powerful combo.

[@genysmenrunner1677]

That test with 5,000 grit is awesome to see the gloss it gives!

[@jdisdetermined]

That 5000 grit test panel is brilliant.. Perfect way to keep the simulated deterioration even and fair for testing, and really showcases what these products can do at extremes. 👍👌✌

[@kbstoy1913]

Morning Brian a great video to start out a day...THANKS !!!!

[@timwong2436]

I use it and love the shine. Living on the West Coast , I usually apply it every month and apply Reload every 6 months. The red car really pops and the dark blue color looks so deep. Really enjoy your videos. I have learned so much. Happy New Year Brian

[@jamesbiedlar590]

I was using way too much...thanks for the awesome vid B!

[@djsthemetereman]

Just ordered this, very good demonstration

[@loopsandthreads5028]

Great video... as usual!

[@rchiuz01]

Thanks for the review. I have been using it for a while. Your demo helped me realize that I am using too much. 😅

[@apexdetail85]

I was at first as well.

[@lifeofbrian9511]

Another fantastic video!

[@SuperJapierdole]

Love elixir for slickness and darkening effect. This is top on both around 30 products i tested. It can also hide minor imperfections but have products doing this better

[@williambrown1172]

Cool, I really like the video and Carpro products. Definately giving this one a shot.

[@therealmatthewsmith]

This intro was awesome Brian!

[@Brian.H..]

Almost 30k subs good job Brian 👍

[@tobyhigginbotham2564]

Brian I would like to personally congratulate you for reaching 30K subs! Way to go and keep up the stellar videos. 100k subs will be the next time I congratulate you.

[@sccarguy]

Thanks Brian

[@Jeeper1378]

I know this is old but need a VS Adams CS3.. i tried on trunk of my Audi. Its opti coated with Opti seal on it. Wasn’t sure it would play nice ... holy crap. Stuff is AWESOME. Left a super slick surface.. like it was waxed. Blows away Beadmaker which im a fan of. Need to try as a drying aid.

[@jassi2762]

Cool video mate.

[@bigd9848]

This is a great product ✊You have to be careful this time of year. The pollen dust and debris from landscapers are covering cars daily😲I almost made the mistake of just using a waffle weave towel with a quick detail. I did it once instead of waterless wash. The roof of my car was covered in Love marks.✊

[@MyGuyKirby]

Carpro products always are good performance and price. A great choice by anyone.

[@apexdetail85]

I cant argue that....good stuff.👍

[@stephencarbonaro5462]

I bought the whole carpro line up for my personal vehicles. I haven't used them yet, but at least now I know how to use this stuff. Thanks for the tip. I feel like all products will streak if too much is used.

[@apexdetail85]

Start using them! lol...they are GREAT!🙂👍

[@inxs13]

Awesome video ! I just got a gallon of Sonax bsd. Like that one a lot 🤘🏼

[@apexdetail85]

Me too!

[@sahhull]

I got thru around 5 gallons of BSD a year. It's my go to detaier

[@Stickymicky25]

This has quickly become my go to... ive tried a few and still find myself coming back to the CarPro line... Reload, EliXir and Ech2o...

[@apexdetail85]

I have a large number of their products in my starting lineup.

[@hayden199516]

Hey! I’ve seen that drying towel before. ;) I love Scott’s products!

[@apexdetail85]

haha...yup.👍🙂

[@will13k7]

Was mixing my own before, now use this, even on the door jams, it makes everything so glossy. CarPro makes great products.

[@apexdetail85]

I completely agree...good stuff👍

[@sylvainmarier4818]

Great vid Brian, I don’t use any quick detailer for now cause I use Perl on every plastic trim and tire shine. But after seeing this, I would consider to buy it cause I can do more stuff with it.

[@apexdetail85]

You wouldnt regret the purchase.👍

[@sahhull]

PERL on plastics, rubber etc.. Detailer on the paint. My fave is BSD. I go thru around 5 gallons a year

[@rodriguezahr]

Thank you for this video. Just got this product and can’t wait to give it a try. I usually wash my car once a week, how many times is a good average to be using this product ? Once a week, once a month?...

[@user-qt7yq6yz2y]

great review! for cars without coatings, the effect will be? I wash my car once a week, how often to use this product? how long does it last? thanks for the answer)

[@richardseem7948]

another great video again buddy. like pricy when u can make 9 gallons of it with uber rinseless wash and hydrosilix or dcp armor. still car pro is amazing product line. 👍👍🍻🍻

[@The_King_Of_Kings]

Bid how do you dilute it

[@arthurlancelod]

In which method does the product last longer? Spraying on dry panel is so streaky but using as drying aid gave me better look, is also streak free and much more easy. Any durabilty difference between those methods?

[@JTBlair-nw6gb]

Excellent video as always. I was just about to order some yesterday before seeing this. Looks like it's pretty good. Any thoughts on using this with Mckees 37 si02 paint coating?

[@apexdetail85]

Would be a great maintenance product for it.

[@rodzaylanmusa6902]

Hi.. Can i use it as drying aids for every wash? (I wash my car once a week). Or I need to space it out? Thanks

[@fransiconava996]

Hey Brian, is this product just for coated vehicles or can it be use on top of any sealant as well?

[@DK-pr9ny]

Hey Brian, what are you recommending these days as a topper over a ceramic coating?

[@hakman239]

Need some autoglanz products on the Chanel especially prizym

[@jassi2762]

I coated a single door yesterday with a layer of elixir used a scangrip colour match light noticed oily residue from exlixir. Could anyone explain why ALL carpro maintenace products leave an oily residue.....

[@martinsepulvedamoraga9998]

Which one is better... meguiars ultimate quik detailer or elixir?

[@Detail35]

who is the winner if you compare with Sonax BSD

[@gleamcardetails]

This or Bouncers D&D Si edition or Beadmaker?

[@djsthemetereman]

Is that a 300 gsm towel you're using? also I realized I was using too much got lots of streaking. Thx for content

[@KlausKernChristensen]

Can you use it on top of a wax?

[@fluzzerr]

What product would you prefer Apex Detail? IGL Enhancer or Carpro Elixir?

[@SeanTheDetailGuy]

First comment I already know it's going to be awesome

[@tornpixel]

I would appreciate more of a comparison between this and other similar products. Such as, for example its gloss enhancement vs Reload or Sonax BSD in the same area.

[@apexdetail85]

That shall be done!

[@robertosticca597]

This question has nothing to do with this newest video. My question is what you think about boars hair car brushes( like the original Montana ) used to wash cars? Will it scratch, swirl the paint? I value your judgment. Have you ever considered a review ? Love your channel and how critical you are on the products you use. Take care.

[@apexdetail85]

I would use them around emblems, trim, corners and hard to reach places. But would avoid painted surfaces as much as possible. I would be happy to review them.

[@marcoallende3683]

I've had my bottle of Elixir for a little over a year. I noticed some settling on the bottom of the bottle that wouldn't mix into solution no matter how much I shake. I opened bottle and there's gummy type stuff on the sprayer straw. Anyone else have this issue?

[@user-ez2bs3fq1x]

Wait u can use elixir on windows and plastic? What about reload? I had carpro ceramic done 3 weeks ago. Ive been using elixir to wipe down nothing else so far going to do a wash in 3 weeks with reset and top with reload. Does that seem correct?

[@EVENTSMUSIQUE]

Hi) I have a Q? , if I use Reset or hydroO2 as shampoo , Can I use Elixir after that ? or Im duplicating something ?

[@FaceliftGT]

Awesome video!, you give mw problem with my upcoming longterm test of the Elixir ;).

Turtle Wax ice, Spray wax is my go to on my 2019 Harley, $7.99 at Walmart, it does exactly the same as this stuff. But you’re right, the market is saturated it’s all about whatever makes you feel warm and fuzzy. 👍

[@daves.3278]

I was gonna get it yesterday but decided to get turtle wax seal and shine. I heard it last alot longer then Ice!!

[@felixf5211]

I've tested Ice and I'm puzzled by your comment.

[@elithegreat6463]

Felix F Puzzled??, about ICE ,?why Puzzled, it’s it’s a good, tested product, it’s cheap, and it works just as good as anything out there. I tend not to be a gullible slave to marketing Hype. 🙄🙄

[@felixf5211]

I didn't think it was very good at all, and in a whole different world than a Reload/ECH2O solution. As long as you're happy.... Out of sheer curiosity, how do you know it's "as good as anything out there?"

[@daves.3278]

@@felixf5211 have you tried meguiars xpress spray wax?

[@arthurlancelod]

Hey Brian!! One of the best review that i have watched so far. I would like to ask a question and your answer means a lot to me. Despite how little product i spray on a towel, it smears like an oily surface. Would you recomment me to dillute it like 1:1?

[@yaqdhanhinai221]

Can you do gloss and chemical resistance test between elixir vs TW ceramic spray?

[@yaqdhanhinai221]

Please, appreciated

[@markevanado9463]

Can it be diluted with water?

[@beeslandscaping]

What kind of microphone do you use excellent the sound quality

[@apexdetail85]

A remote mic. Still tweaking for best quality.

[@americainmuscle3456]

So wait, when should I use a quick detailer vs use a waterless wash? Especially if my car is ceramic coated

[@apexdetail85]

Use the quick detailer AFTER the waterless wash. More lubrication in the waterless wash to fight marring and love marks.

[@XxVendetaxX1]

Hey Brian, I had a thought. People are complaining that DPC armor doesn't bead very well, so I was thinking. What would happen if you mixed two ounces of undiluted DPC Armor and two ounces of CarPro Reload in a bottle with each other , and then sprayed it on a test panel to see what would happen? Maybe a fun experiment for you to try?

[@jackwhite2658]

XxVendetaxX1 Armor is a sheeter and that's what I like about it. Get the water off quickly. I'll take sheeting over beading any day. 🖐

[@XxVendetaxX1]

@@jackwhite2658 100% agree with you my friend. I just wanted to ask Brian if he could do this for the people who like both the CarPro Reload beads and DPC Armors abilitys and see if we can combine them. Because DPC Armor is durable and very resistant to chemicals.

[@felixf5211]

I mix 2oz each of Reload and ECH2O in a 32oz bottle. Just so I understand, this product is essentially the same thing for most intents and purposes?

[@apexdetail85]

Armor is not meant to bead its actually meant to sheet. Its meant to be a topper or stand alone protection. Keep experimenting and shine on! 😁👍

[@themachine8009]

When you sand a car panel with 5000 grit are u taking any clear coat off? Does elixir have wax or SI02? Thanks in advance. Love all your vids.

[@apexdetail85]

Yes...but very little. Yes...a mix of Reload, Ech2o

[@sahhull]

Well doh! Oh course you are.

[@scober9281]

Great video as always! Interesting product I haven't considered. I typically use BSD for a quick detailer (quick sealant : ) and suspect it might be more durable but curious how gloss and filling compares between them. What are your thoughts since you use both?

The Elixir is more durable BSD is better in appearance.🙂

Every two weeks or so should do.
