IS THIS THE CHEAPEST CERAMIC DETAIL SPRAY - YOU MAYBE SURPRISED.

Been using it for almost 2 years. Super good product and stands up to the Canadian climate quite well

It’ll work , I’ve used it at this dealership , you need to let it sit for an hr ( how we got results ) and then lay down another coat. It’ll be a bit better.

[@ChrisS-if7ev]

I sprayed this stuff on my rims when cleaning the car yesterday. We just had rain here and my rims were beading .... lol. Can't wait to apply it to the car once I polish and ceramic coat it.

What detail store

[@bangaloremusic]

So I nabbed a gallon from my local supplier ... I have 3 client cars I'm doing side by side roof tests with Armor on. So far - it's only been 4 weeks - there are no noticeable differences between them visually, and both continue to exhibit very good self cleaning/water behavior qualities.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Nice!

[@markb6s4]

Wog do you have a link to suppliers. I’m searching on google but get no helpful links. I even look at the actual TC website but can’t find any links. Thanks

[@bangaloremusic]

magic_m I called TC and got a number for the local distributor (MA/RI) they don’t have a website - it’s old school phone calls and meet up with the delivery truck. Not sure what its like around the country.

[@bangaloremusic]

For anyone keeping score on the side by side. After a very hot sunny spell the Armor is all but gone (did well for about 6 weeks then gave up the ghost) TEC 582 is still performing very well. Beading is diminished a bit, but the slickness and gloss are still there - most important to me, the self cleaning properties appear to be unfazed. - one car had been parked under pine trees and the owner went after the sap with Citrol so that’s out of the running for continued mlong term testing.

[@MrAndre3stacks]

It’s great for use on personal cars, as it needs to be applied every wash as a drying aid to remain effective. That being said, I’m currently hesitant to use on customer cars. Beaded great after 2 weeks no wash for me, but wore off a good amount after the wash. Still beaded a week later when washed again, but not as much as the initial wash.

[@worldofrelentless9913]

U gotta try their ceramic coating Jimbo

[@6mtzhp55]

TEC580. I have some on the way, and can't find anyone who has independently reviewed it, except for it being on one of the panels the Chicago Auto Pros guy tested on his Lexus ES. It'd be very useful for someone to do an instrumented test.

[@SittingWithDogs]

Jimbo this chemical company is great. In Michigan we have a local distributor for all of their products. For my detail shop it’s a great value and great performance.

[@joshuaopfer6566]

I use that at work. Its okay. Dont think it last long at all but for the price its not bad

[@brentnelson1270]

Where this stuff shines is as a drying aid or quick detail spray AS a topper or booster to a vehicle with an already installed true ceramic coating. Used following a quick ONR wash, this stuff is magical. Again, I don’t think it’ll last long as a stand-alone protection but as a topper/booster it works great! Disclaimer: I have Opti Coat Pro Plus as a ceramic coating.

[@godowarus]

Wonderful review, Jimbo. I came across this myself pretty recently. I just got hired at a detail shop and they apparently use this a lot. The owner gets it by the 5 gallon jug for a bit over $100.

Curious as to why this detail spray is marketed for adding a heavier protection than the norm for detail sprays. I'd be curious how something strong like this would affect your interior panels when you want to clean them. At least lighter solutions that don't leave a non-water based solution on the panel for protection can easily come off when needed. ONR or any rinseless solution using 1oz mixed with 1 gallon of distilled water is a true detail spray. You can even use 6oz of liquid synthetic wax mixed with a gallon of distilled water. No need to buy anything specific for detail sprays since they are temporary.
