CERAMIC WAX APPLICATION | Best Ceramic Wax pt1 | Ceramic Coating

Now let me start by saying that a ceramic wax product is not the same as a Traditional or Professional Ceramic Coating. The may have the same active ingredients, but a true ceramic has a much high content of the active ingredient, mixed in with a carrying agent that flashes off and leave the ceramic behind. A Ceramic wax however, is MUCH easier to use for the average person. It still delivers a hydrophobic feel and great protection, just not as hydrophobic and won't last as long as a professional grade ceramic. With that said, I think Ceramic Waxes definitely have their place and are fantastic choices for the at home diy detailer. In todays video I compare 8 different "ceramic wax" products. I cover their pricing, application process, and how easy or difficult they are to apply and buff out. ENJOY!!!!

Thanks for all the work you did for this comparison Josh. I always look forward to your videos.

[@muchachogrande2019]

Cool to see a comparison between these liquid waxes for sure. I'd love to see you do a comparison between a bunch of the spray waxes as well as the mainstream/more common ceramic or graphene paste waxes.

[@flatoutdetailing]

Thanks for all your content dude! I’m starting my mobile car detailing business and you’re helping me a lot!! Really appreciate you! 👊

[@CaliforniaCasey]

I'm definitely following this ceramic series!

[@davestewart9146]

Really looking forward to this, thanks Josh 👍😁

Brilliant channel Josh . Thanks for the time it takes to do this buddy 👌👌👌

[@g.fortin3228]

Awesome compare here ! I got some hybrid solutions a couple weeks back, have not had a chance to use it yet. Hoping this weekend... thank you for the compare and time here !! Best detail channel on YT :- )

[@Stigness23]

Turtle Wax detailing products are pretty amazing, i may have to try this Graphene Wax one!

[@HantsLeo]

Another great video 👍🏻

[@jamesandrykowski5692]

Hey Josh, I'm hooked. Great job explaining things. Do you have any suggestions on removing etching. The heat gun thing seems smart but I don't want to mess my paintjob. Thoughts and possible a video from you would be awesome.

[@JamesMartin_music]

I just bought the Ethos ceramic wax. You should test that in your pt2. love your content keep it up :)

Awesome! Thank you!

[@MikesAutoDetailing]

Great job

[@tedtuesday6278]

Great video series idea. Well done. I saw a Chemical Guys video ref. their Hydroslick and they say do not apply with machine...apply by hand only. Maybe that's why you were seeing the hydrophobic activity at application. Take care.

[@MonkeyShinesG2]

Another excellent review sir! I did have two questions for you… 1. How would you say these products compare to using something like TEC582? 2. How do you like the performance of the DeWalt DA polisher vs. something like a Rupes?

[@kevin_ramirez2529]

Great informative video, Can’t wait for part 2.

[@Chloe2cool4u]

you doing great bro

[@ciscogarcia3463]

Hydro slick goes on well with an microfiber applicator, I’m not saying it’s the best product out there tho, but that’s what I use. I’m sure all products work well just preferences. Great video Josh, I will try different products someday.

[@coreybell6398]

Nice job

[@geddycostello8439]

Great video Brian. I'll tell you that Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro to The Max Wax, Graphene Liquid Wax is absolutely a awesome product. I applied it to my 2004 Honda Accord and I was totally blown away. Turtle Wax has came out with some incredible products in the last couple of years.

[@imjoshv]

Part 2 comes out later today and I agree I’m very impressed with that turtle wax product!

[@lrod3422]

What up Josh. Can you please do a video of the best topper or paint sealant you believe are the best. With the highest gloss and slickness

[@NLDesigns]

The beading from the Hydroslick was probably from the polisher flinging however, once you have a solid coat on it then the excess starts to bead like jelly again. Me personally I don't use a DA for Hydroslick, just hand apply.

[@lucamarinello8251]

Seconded, I hand apply the Hydroslick and the Chemical Guys website actually says: "please do not apply Hydroslick with a DA, rotary, or any power tool." in the product FAQ's. I wish they would just put it on the bottle.

[@dtna]

Different subject... Can you do a video on how you currently set up your shop? Thnx.

[@krawczak9182]

Would be cool to see a review on the whole turtle wax graphene line

[@yeezhe8432]

Should try out Adam's ceramic coating wax

[@Framegxd]

Great video. Can we have a link for the DeWALT polisher?

[@thefreshprinceofgreenhills]

Yo Josh any chance reviewing the Soft99 Fusso and Kiwami? Really intrigued with its 12-month long protection

[@SupremeKid98]

Groits garage new ceramic all in one wax is 🔥

[@muchachogrande2019]

I'm really interested to see what people think of the new Blush formula Larry came out with but Ammo NYC products are a little rich for my tastes.

[@sergioelizondo8268]

Which one of these do you recommend for a new car? Also, for a three year truck with some scratches. Truck is washed regularly and paint in good shape.

[@truckskate9677]

It seems the best way to compare these would be to do a machine based application test and a hand based application test also to follow up. What if... let's just say chemical guys works terribly with the polish machine but maybe applied by hand its amazing. Or maybe the same or vice versa with the other products. Considering not everyone will use a machine or go the route by hand itd be cool to see how these products stack up against each other in a similar video comparison. By the way love the videos man

[@joelvargas8716]

Josh you never texted the sonax Xtreme ceramic spray ?

[@MrBofficial0913]

Any of this you can use using a spray paint gun like you use for chemical guys VRP?

[@user-ui9on5rf2p]

Do you know a brand that has colorful snow foam? I really want some

Should definitely add griots ceramic all in one wax to this list

[@billbuss7542]

Would you put any one of these on a ceramic coa

[@billbuss7542]

Would you apply any of these on a ceramic coated car?

[@user-kr9mh5oi1q]

has anyone tried the Nexgen Ceramic Spray. I mention it just because its supposed to be the highest concentration of SiO2.Don't know if that is good or bad

[@bobevans6590]

Josh, here is the real test. After your done with the hood, put a bird feeder up in a tree and put the hood under the feeder! Give it a week or 2 then see how it does! Now that will be a big test! Like the video’s

[@imjoshv]

Ha great idea

[@ladym6738]

What about these and chrome trim?

[@1powerequalsgod]

I’m a professional detailer an I watch allot of videos like this but I still can not find a real world test. Where any product is tested to prevent corrosive paint damage from road salt, road construction oil, bird droppings, sticker and sign etching, bleeding plant leaves, car wash detergent spotting, bug splatter, silicone tire dressing splatter stains, parking garage chemical leaks, tree sap and road tar. I don’t know what else I’m missing that seen over the years that ruins paint that need to be wet sanded or repainted at the body shop. If these products can not be proven to hold up against the problems mentioned then they are not going really prevent real world problems vehicles will face.

[@CLopdx]

What about Last Coat?

[@pevans1027]

So my wife just took my recently ceramic coated black BMW through an automatic spinner wash. She thought it was touchless. Tried to do me a favor for my birthday. How screwed is the paint/coat?.

[@MG-qv9vi]

Hi there! I recently found your channel. Really enjoying the content. Trying to catch up on all your videos. I no longer subscribe to other car detailing channels. Appreciate the time you spend researching different products and I value your opinion. I’m a chick and I have enjoyed detailing cars since I was quite young. My Amazon cart is full and I keep adding as I’m watching a marathon of your videos. Thank you.

[@philipzielinski]

Meguirs says not to use it on glass (and then I presume also not on headlights). Any insight into why? Is it the inclusion of a wax in addition to a ceramic material?

[@YAW_AMP3000]

It’s bc of the wax properties in the product, I’m general when waxing a car you tape off anything that is not clear coat/a car body surface. Bc when you let wax get on the plastic it can cause very bad fading and other damage that can be permanent. And with glass it just leaver a film residue like look on the whole thing and won’t actually work into the tighter grain patter that glass has since it’s so much harder. Hope that helps a little! Also a bonus you can however ceramic coat those surfaces so you can get like a small little bottle for those parts if you want. Like a spray on one not a legit ceramic.
