I don't know how I missed this one yesterday. So weird to think think I'm excited to watch videos of a hood being washed for 2 years, but I am haha. Even the dog knows it's interesting. It's good to have a hood with chips and scratches because a lot of us have those. It's good to see how the product protects them and the bare metal. I really like how you did this with 1-5 layers too.

[@snail415]

Such a bad-ass test. I’ve done this to some extent, albeit for my own disorder/interest. I think multiple coatings of something like Fusso absolutely works, but at the expense of gloss. Also, as your outdoor tests show, it’s really a matter of how long crap like pollen is allowed to fester in any protection. If you put two coats of Collinite Fleetwax/915 on a garage queen…hang it up. It’s good forever. 😂

[@j.k.7807]

Thanks Scott! This is going to be a really interesting test. I'm just a DIY amateur and since 2018 have been using Meguires Hybrid Ceramic Spray. For my best results, I wash as best I can then do 1 layer dry application, 1 layer wet application and a final layer of their spray on and rinse application. I get good shine and beading that lasts about a year. Throughout the year I do occasional quick spray washes. I'm in New England and do not have a garage to park in.

As always, great test which will provide some real data points for a topic that really only has anecdotal evidence at the moment. Can you pull out the ones that recommend multi layer vs single layer? Be interesting to see the differences. Many thanks for the lengths you go to in order to produce these tests for us!

[@ryanhansen7]

Another great video. Thank you.

[@jeremiahgaskins9127]

This is going to be an interesting test. I suspect the increased removal difficulty would have diminished if the cure time was extended on final layers. My best guess is that the solvents haven't flashed enough and the bottom layers were only partially cured, causing a grabby feeling. I'm thinking much the way paint will soften and lift if recoat windows are too short. With that said, I'm hoping the lower layers still remained bonded and were not leveled off with the final layers.

[@ABG2412]

Very valid concern about the base layers potentially being disturbed

[@brianmchale6668]

I've been using Griots 3 in 1 on my daily drivers and weekend warriors. Nice product. Interested in the results of this test. Thanks

[@snail415]

I’m not making this up- I put Griots…on top of Fusso…on silver-plated horns for a marching band. All I can tell you is that products like Fusso and Collinite will always be in my arsenal, and Griots is simply too affordable not to throw-on anything as a topper. The shine it creates is really different. But that’s polished metal. Two coats of Fusso on any dark car is kind of like enjoying pain. You better really want it and hope you’re better for it after. Separate but still noteworthy- my only frustration with ceramic spray products is the spotting that dried liquids (water on cars, sweat on instruments) leave on the surface. Sure a QD can fix that, but unless there’s serious sheeting going on it’s not a good look after a rain session. That reason alone is what keeps me using tin-paste sealants.

[@Nissan370_z]

next video you should mix a few drops from each ceramic bottle into a empty bottle. make the ultimate ceramic mix. since each one has its goods and bads.

[@ScottHD]

Ooh... maybe we'll make something great doing that! Fantastic idea!

[@mbdetailingct]

I’ve done 1 layer of griots on my mother in-laws car and 2 on my wife’s car, I feel like my wife’s car faired better than my mother in-law’s. My wife’s coating (done in October) lasted through New England winter with no problem and I just reapplied a single coat this past weekend. My mother in-laws (applied within 2 weeks from my wife’s initially) I’d say lost its hydrophobic-ness about 2 months ago

[@GainingDespair]

I've layered Fuso back when I lived in North Dakota due to the aggressive chemicals they use to spray the roads in winter. I never noticed any difference, and I let it cure over night in the garage. I applied it as lightly as I possibily could while still getting it on the paint. Never had an issue taking it off after it sat over night (granted it was normally the start of winter when I applied so cool). Mostly just wanted to give it time to fully cure in suboptimal temps. Never noticed any difference with it be 1 or 2 coats, just felt it increased the likelihood I didn't miss a spot by accident. I would get about 9 months before I felt I had nothing left too it. --- Also I don't really care about product thickness, but once it cures could you let us know if you could feel any difference over the multiple layers?

[@Centaur008]

Really eager to see the results. I predict the 2-3 layers may fare better than the 4-5; my assumption is that these chemicals have a carrier/solvent that when applied again it softens but doesn't completely remove the previous layer(s), I feel like on the 5th layer more material was removed than what may have been applied, hence the gum-up.

[@ScottHD]

I agree with you. I think there IS a point of no return beyond 2... maybe 3.

I wonder if that tackiness after 3 layers would have diminished if the waiting period between layers was 6 or 12 hours instead of 1 hour?

On the Griots bottle it states "for extreme durability apply a second coat 12-24 hours after the first application". Wouldn't this mean the way you applied the griots is incorrect? Love and appreciate all your video's, i dont want to come off as "that guy"

[@ScottHD]

It is, and you are correct, but I simply did not have the time to hang around for 2.5-5 days to apply 5 coats of it... I did disclose that and we are going to see if it makes a difference.

Since there is some extra space, could you add 1 square that is 1 of these coatings with a product that's been known to fail after few washes? I am curious if a sub-par product would effect performance of a good product.

3-6 months? I quit using Turtle Wax products in spring of 1979. There are too many better products out there for the same price that perform better. Back then I changed to DuPont Rain Dance, that liquid wax lasted a full 2 weeks plus longer than the Turtle Wax did.

[@ScottHD]

I looked at amazon and I can't find the old PTFE based one like I'm using here... I know they changed it up (and not for the better). I hope they bring it back, but I'm sure it is probably because it has some nasty stuff in it.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

@@ScottHD was the solvent if i reckon correctly. If you are afraid about ceramic coatings, this is the second product you could try. Best part is you can re-apply on those pannels were it stopped bead

[@MarylandDevin]

Pls test gloss

[@S5GSA]

would be interesting to see how the many layers affect the clarity with a gloss meter, I.e loads of coats actually reducing the gloss? Just a thought

[@WestfieldFreshAir]

Maybe gloss would hold up but I expect haze would increase with the layers.

I'll check them before I set it outside this weekend.

[@Luke-san]

Damn thickness meter. Should do 100 layers and see if you can measure it. .... Just kidding. Seems like a test a lot of people are very interested in this one. Don't know if anyone has done a similar test.

[@ScottHD]

I have a cheap amazon thickness meter that "supposedly" reads to the nearest tenth of a micron, but on the "calibration foil" it will literally read 5 different readings on the same (known thickness) foil, so this is why I don't use it. The elcometer I use - they make a higher accuracy one, but I can't justify the price of it - this one is already pretty expensive and is used in our shop just to identify thin areas or previous paintwork on client vehicles)

I have been using Griots 3in1 for a couple of years. Not knowing anything about this except what I have learned from your channel I have put quite a few coats on over the year. If I had to guess perhaps 7 to 10. Car still shines like a diamond in a goats butt at the county fair. However, the car doesn't get exposed to a lot of adverse weather but I do live at high altitude so it gets its share of UV. What should I be looking for regarding deterioration?

[@ScottHD]

Painters will tell you "UV" damage is when the clear coat has actually failed, so essentially it is trying to prolong the useful life of the clear coat. As long as it's hydrophobic, you are likely still good. (and your clear coat isn't failing).

[@clintonw1055]

Disappointed you didn't follow Griot's specific direction on application time... that really invalidates the results there. One of the most popular options too!!

[@ScottHD]

5 layers would have taken several days - my worry would be that it would start rejecting itself after that long. I see your point there though.

@@clintonw1055 absolutely and thank you

[@MarkusKleis]

This is a classic example of BS ambiguous claims to take advantage of an ignorant public to sell product. GG 3-in-1 Wax isn't a coating - it is a spray sealant. Translation: it doesn't actually truly cure (no cross-link), so whether you wait an hour, or 12, or 24, you are still going to remove the majority of whatever you applied before with "like dissolves like" principal. The only time you get any type of truly additive layering (ESPECIALLY beyond a second coat) is with a cross-linking cure, and even then you will run into challenges because a proper coating will reject additional layers except for a very narrow window (and even then it is not 1+1). That's my 2 cents, anyway ;)

Here’s a question you probably haven’t heard before, if you off set your pad on the buffer wouldn’t it do the same thing as a 15 or 22 mm throw buffer?

[@ScottHD]

Maybe? I guess I see your point in doing that.

[@Centaur008]

If when you say buffer and throw buffer you mean Rotary vs DA then, No it wouldn't at all. The center-most part of the pad (unless we are talking about a ridiculous amount of offset) is still moving 100% of the pad material as a dot around a circle regardless of the pad being perfectly centered or offset; the outer area is not covering 100% of the dot around the circle well simply because it's offset ( ._.) However a DA polisher or buffer is a "circle going around a circle" rather than a point around a circle. If you however meant DA centered pad vs DA with offset pad, the latter is not recommended as it would create vibrations; the bigger the throw the bigger the little circles go around the circle/orbit.
