Another great looking product, really could see the metallic flake popping at the end 👌🏼 I could also really see what you meant by 'a film' when you did the wing in the shade! Should give half decent longevity. More importantly - how strong was that glass of vino 🤔🤣🤣🤣 you were starting to talk like me towards the end 🤣

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Normally just a couple of wine gums and I’m anyone’s 🤪. I think M&K say it could last 3 months but just the effect of application puts a smile on my face OR maybe the wine 🤷‍♂️

[@SparkleanAutos]

@@ObsessiveCarDetailermaybe a bit of both 🤣🤣 I know some people have said slickness isn't important but I couldn't disagree more - that first feel of the panel after buffing a product off is make or break for me whether I like the product or not, doesn't matter how long it lasts

[@Just_Bald_Chris]

Martin, Your videos are the highlight of my viewing notifications. I enjoyed the video almost as much as you enjoted the wine.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Video?? What video , I only remember waking up sitting on the workshop floor with an empty wine glass in one hand and a bottle of seal in the other 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@GMDetails]

I’ve got this in the review queue and I’m really looking forward to using it now!. The gloss increase after you buffed it off was incredible, mirror finish 👌

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Hello mate, yep you are going to enjoy this one. I have to say though, the next day it rained and the water behaviour isn't as good as their honey wax or titan sealant

[@mrlionrocks]

Its your typical m&k product, easy to use,high gloss and slick Nice one martin

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Yep, the more M&K products I use the more I like the brand. I ordered more yesterday although I don’t need more products. I think I must be suffering from some kind of condition where I always buy products I don’t need 🤷‍♂️

[@anthonyworthington6495]

Evening Martin hope your well,another product to put on the list,have a good Easter weekend👍

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Cheers Anthony, you too mate. Don't eat too much

[@paulquickmire4140]

Glad to see you again Martin and another great video. That looked a really nice quick product to use, my only problem is you put me onto Sigma hmmm. One of these days your lovely wife's friends are going to tell her and you won't just go hungry but the binmen might be collecting you in little boxes 🤣🤣. Although I think she had tampered with your drink already. Stay safe mate 👍👍

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

🤣🤣 you could well be right mate, she is not to be messed with. Sigma is definitely slicker in my opinion but this really does bring out the gloss but you don’t really need both on your shelf although I think seal is less fussy to apply

[@willmasmile]

Hi Martin, I used Seal this morning. Agree with your findings, nice product, it’s also good as a drying aid. Your car is looking great.

If she did ever hear this thats your coffee n cake over n done with . Looks to of added plenty of gloss but its how it performs longer term . Does seem to be a brand you enjoy using .

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

I’m safe Andy, she takes no interest in my detailing. Yes spot on, I’m enjoy the brand, everything I try I like. Never even heard of it before

[@johnbrown3951]

Your car came up a treat. I am so glad not that I had any doubt it would. Your car is the perfect colour to show off gloss and wetness and it is always so well maintained. Just a heads up in case you have a few pennies left there is 35% off in the Spring sale. I gave John at M & K a heads up that you had put up your review. I am sure he will be pleased.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Spent too much on the bike this month John so to spend on products could see me sleeping in the shed. I hope it helps him but Im only saying what I think. So far Im really impressed and don't know why it took me so long to try the brand. I hadn't even thought about them until you told me to give them a try so thank you👍

[@johnbrown3951]

@@ObsessiveCarDetailer I always thought that the brand deserved more exposure and thought I could push it through my love of detailing and trying to learn as much of the art as I can from the detailing KZbin community. When I reached out to M & K John was very kind and I think he could see my passion and he and I have many long and detailed discussions on the subject. It is the least I can do if you get to try products you would otherwise not have tried and John gets more exposure. I see it as a win win for all concerned.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

@@johnbrown3951 Well I for one am very grateful John & despite my previous comment I have sneaked a very small order in this evening so with luck my Wife won't see it 🤞. I have never spoken to John but he comes across on his videos as a really nice guy

[@ranaldbrown3032]

Hi Martin. Great video as always. I’m going to buy some new products for the car. May try that seal. I have a couple of minor swirls. Do you have any recommendations on what works well on the car. I don’t have a DA polisher. So will be applying by hand! Any recommendations appreciated. I need to give my “old girl” a summer tidy up!!!

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Helo Ranald. I have a couple of products on my shelf that I have used to remove/hide minor swirls. Meguiars Wash Plus is designed to remove very light swirls and can be used without a machine polisher. Although my favourite is Autoglym Super Resin. It will hide minor swirls and brings to colour out a treat. Both available from Halfords. Let me know how you get on

[@decker0373]

I do really enjoy your videos Martin. There are few of you guys that speak it as it is and that is exactly what I want to hear/see. It looked quite time consuming to take it off, did it get easier to take off with the revised application? And someone has to ask, when you said you have other products that you rayed highly, what are they? All the best Martin.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

No it wasn't that time consuming Lee, not any more so than any other sealant. The trick is so make sure it had cured before buffing. One one panel I buffed too soon but after that it was fine. My favourite brands on my shelf are Soft99 sealants, glass products & waxes, so difficult to beat in my opinion, Garage Therapy on their QD, shampoos & Sigma & Koch Chemie on most of their range. However, so far I have been really pleased with the M&K product I have tried so far. Im pleased you enjoyed the videos, I try to keep them real. Have a great w/end

[@andrewvickers4487]

Thanks Martin, looks good. The grabby wipe off might be helped by removing right away since the directions are "spray-on, buff off", especially on warmer panels. On camera to me the result looks as good as the Sigma you reviewed - how would you compare the finish?

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Maybe I overloaded the applicator as I do tend to be a bit heavy handed but it was more an observation Andrew than a complaint. As for comparison with Sigma? I think the results look better than Sigma but the finish isn’t quite as slick

[@andrewvickers4487]

@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Thanks mate

[@gillywash1487]

I’d not noticed that on raindrop about not to use on films tbh, I can see why not on anything matte as it adds gloss but cant see why it wouldn’t be ok on film that’s not matte finish, makes you wonder if something is lost in translation. This stuff looked good though car looks stunning as always 🤩

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Cheers Nick, as you know I tend to fuss about it to the point were some may think it a little strange. I had this vision where I applied it to my bonnet just to see it screw up the film & then thought like you it may be a translation issue so may give it a go on the lower bumper. I don’t remember seeing you review it yet? Have you and I missed it?

[@gillywash1487]

@@ObsessiveCarDetailer I have used it a couple of times on Instagram, I wouldn’t call it a full review or anything but do think it’s a good product to just spray on as you dry the car and get some good protection 👍🏼

Hi newbie again how about a video for us people just starting up. Hints and tips and terms ?

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Hello Andy, there are a number of KZbin channel’s better placed than me for giving hints & tips on how to. My channel is more of a blog where I share what I’m up to and how I do it. I have over 200 videos showing you what I’m up to and they are full of tips on how I do things. Have you checked out Graeme at GM Details or Mark at Sparklean Autos. Both those guys give good honest product reviews and both are better equipped than me to give tips on the right way to detail. What you get from me is the Martin way to detail

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Also I’m always happy to give you my opinion on any detailing issues. I will alway respond to your comments

[@owenboyd5674]

Mark, I hope this finds you well. I was using Valet Pro snow seal; do you recommend any other products similar? Regards.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Hi Owen, im not a big fan of this type of product. I have used a similar product made by Bouncers but not for me. Ideal if you are trying to protect a large van or motorhome

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

@@andywilliamson9833 Hello Andy, yep a lot of smoking mirrors around detailing towels. basically a soft towel, some like a long pile and others like a short pile. personally I like to buff with a low pile cloth and then go over with a long pile to finish but not a necessity. Have a look on the "Clean & Shiny" web site, they have a good selection of Rag Company towels and that where I bought most of mine. Hope that is of some help www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/

[@andywilliamson9833]

Hi newbie again what do u use as a buffing cloth .?

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Any soft cloth really. I tend to use a low pile for initial buff followed by a longer pile

[@crocoman776]

Great video: very informative as usual. Can I ask a question - my new (used) car has baked on brake dust on the wheel drum. I have cleaned the wheels using my normal method (wheel cleaner applied, rinse then shampoo wash) and whilst I suspect it will take a few cleans to get the wheels clean again, do you recommend any product that will cut through the brake dust first time? Keep well.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Always a difficult one to resolve from a distance without understanding the history of the car but I have always found Bill Hamber Auto wheels a good wheel cleaner. It sounds like the previous owner wasn't fussed about the wheel drums so to get them really clean it may need a wheels off & full decon. I have a video on that subject kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5OTfoKZjMZklc0

[@paul6749]

Hi Martin, how long does M&K say the protection lasts - sorry if I missed it? I have been watching your videos for about 12 months and don’t recall you saying before that the front of your car had PPF. Again, sorry if I missed it. 😊 Was the gloss the same as the unwrapped panels?

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Hello mate, yep gloss the same on all panels & you are spot on I didn't mention the longevity but their site says about 3 months

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Hello Mark, no quick fix Im afraid mate without a polisher but a couple of products quickly come to mind. 1, Autoglym Super Resin will cover up very light swirls and 2, Meguiars Wash Plus may remove light swirls on a small area. Both readily available from Halfords. hope that is of some help

@@markmummery8765 yep the resin will provide temp cover up. I have used Meguiars on small patches and minor scuffs and was ok but not as an alternative to machine polishing. I guess it all comes down to how new the car is. A cheap polisher is around the £120 mark but will remove swirls
