Totally agree on the shine, gloss and so on being subjective. Everyone sees paint differently. I think that liquid waxes “polish” the paint a little more since the application is done with a microfiber pad by hand or polishing pad on a DA. But I’m finding the spray on sealants and waxes to be way more durable!

I have the newer Adam's ceramic spray that comes in bottle like the liquid. I did full detail on my truck. Strip wash, iron remover, wash and alcohol cleaned and then put the spray on and let it cure for 5 hours inside. My truck sits outside a bit and after about a month the hydro properties just seemed to disappear. Was kinda let down due to how expensive it is. Have been a Adam's lover for awhile, but not sure anymore

Jimbo, enjoy your shows. I am a Maguire's fan. I like paste waxes. After that, I find the spray assortment adds extra protection that is easily applied more frequently. If you are serious about the condition of your paint, try good paste wax applications and then for general maintenance use sprays. This will really extend your paste waxes and beautify your finish.

Look for skinny brushes that are long and thin to work the fabric. In one hand I hold the crevice tool in another I continously scrub and try to catch all the flying debris. More than anything is repeating the process over and over in several directions. Tedious but having a good arsenal of stiff brushes to fit on different areas helps immensely more than crevice tool alone. I don't have access to air compressor so I work with what I can

Lets think about this.. how many people are going to do this to their car?? this testing says nothing about being able to withstand NATURAL weather and atmospheric assaults on the panel tested.. heat, cold, mud, snow.. those are the kind of elements that need to be shown to test the products effectiveness in protecting.. all you showed is that it took one chemical to kill the Adam's side of the panel, and three to finish off the Ethos side.. I like your videos but your testing methods are inaccurate to be nice about it.. if you put the product on and the paint lasts through 12 standard washes, you have at least somewhat proven the effectiveness over a years worth of washes (once a month)..

I’ve used all those product you mentioned and side by side they do not compare to Ceramic Wax PRO. Russo Coat attracts dust like crazy and is a pain to use, PNS beads extremely well but is not very durable nor slick. Collinite fogs up, attracts dust like crazy, and does not have the durability or protection for a long term sealant. Yes, PRO is certainly more expensive, but our clients love the richness, gloss, dirt repellency and slickness that is really unmatched. KZbin chemical testing does not paint the whole picture, highly recommend people trying products for themselves before jumping to conclusions.
