The ULTIMATE Wipe-On Clear Coat Comparison

We test some of the most common paint rejuvenation products on the market. They all work. Some are better. Some are cheaper.

Great video, i am surprised at how clean the floor polish looks.

[@176ts]

I used on my 40 foot RV some of that high gloss paver sealer . works well , rain runs right off , but may need to redo every year

[@gokartsminibikesandmore9925]

zep gives it more of natural clean patina poppys and such gives it a show room hey look at me im patina sheen

[@SheyBowater]

Really good video thank you, I would like to see a comparison of the VGG gloss and matt finshes as ai can not seem to find any info of the matt

[@rorieenterprisesllc835]

You can also get a high gloss in the zep if you want a similar look to the other two for cheaper

[@modeljetjuggernaut4864]

The floor polish for the win! 👊

[@randyk2904]

Excellent Review. Thanks

[@vwmountainman9701]

Very nice work !!! I will be doing my S15 shortly - then probably going over my 57 Beetle if i like the look. I like the Pappys - bur the price - ooo !!!! I guess it beats spraying it all.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Thank you! The price IS steep. But it looks good. Still! I’ll be doing a 9 month review/follow up soon to show how they are all holding up.

[@kurtgood2914]

Thanks for sharing this is very helpful video 🙂

[@robertolivarez5742]

I think if your paying that much you should buy a acrylic urethane clear 2 part top coat an roll it on with a moll hair roller.

[@toddwheeler3301]

I'm watching!

Love the new super glossy clear coat from poppy’s patina is fire 🔥.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

They have a new super gloss??

[@JohnScheppler]

Great job comparing them, but my biggest question is what does it look like 6 months or years after exposure to the elements. Hopefully, there will be a follow-up video.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Yessir, follow up guaranteed. It's holding up pretty good. But I need to give it a good wash and do a close inspection. That's coming.

[@michellefixit]

I'm doing a bit of KZbin research and found your video. It would be great if you added to your description or comments, what products you used for this experiment. I'm interested in knowing. 😊 Thanks and have a great day!

[@MrJustinWheeler]

That’s a good suggestion. I will do that in the morning!

[@creepycrawler43]

awesome info!

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Thank you!

[@LawsonsCreekApiary]

They made a big difference

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I was pretty impressed. Can’t wait to see if it brings the ole crusty RX8 back to life.

[@turboflush]

Poppyspatina is 2 part i would expect it to last longer. They offer different shines also.

[@cristianstriblea792]

Does patina protect against UV damage ?!

[@baddadjokes6374]

I'd like to see how they all stack up over time. I have used linseed oil and woke up the next day to a dull pickup

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Yep. I know what you mean. I’m going to leave these three panels untouched for a while. We will come back to them next year and do a follow up.

[@brett7794]

Can u give us a written follow up for now it's been 4 months and I need to get some stuff done did the zep hold it's shine or is it gone now? Thanks buddy

[@jamieross8664]

Oh well definitely gonna make Derrick richer today Vice Grip Garage was so much better than the others.

[@HoneyBearLife]

Mayonnaise works great too

[@cruzzindodge]

If you wet sand the surface to smooth it out then apply poppys the finish comes out superb 👌

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Thanks for the pointer. I have a couple other rigs that need the treatment. I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!

[@cruzzindodge]

Btw I love the old power wagon... I'm mopar though and though and would love to do a cool old 1st gen like that.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

@@cruzzindodge thanks man. Yeah I’m in love with that truck. Haven’t got to put a wrench on it yet, but will have room in the shop this summer to pull it in. I’ve got a 440 waiting on it.

[@vwmountainman9701]

Glad I glanced over the comments - I was going to suggest the exact same thing.

[@tmfisher999]

Orange hand cleaner works pretty good to.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I hadn’t heard that. I’ll have to give it a try. Make it smell good too! 🤣

[@tmfisher999]

@@MrJustinWheeler especially rusted old cars with that white oxidation on them. It leaves a nice finish.

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

I’d like to see how the RX8 turns out.

[@davidgreenfield934]

Going to have to buy some jugs of that floor sealer!

[@MrJustinWheeler]

You need to find you a good hooptie to smear it on.

[@davidjenkins1680]

I used it in my truck about 3 years ago. Still holding up. I’ll prob add another coat in a few months to bring it back out again tho.

[@tjcben1]

Nice comparison. But a clear coat aeroso can with acrivator is a lot cheaper isn't it?

[@Brent_Rolston]

Is that Zep a finish or sealer? There's a big difference. Sealer doesn't usually have a sheen. As a guy that works on flooring, that Zep floor finish generally gets about 4 coats on a floor, every coat increases the sheen. This is the first I've heard of someone using it on vehicles. Hard to say how the UV would affect it.

[@ljprep6250]

The Zep is a High Traffic Floor Polish, a finish.

[@ljprep6250]

The Zep leaves a more realistic patina at a quarter of the cost. Win/Win/Win!

[@tonys901]

Any updates?

[@Mastermindyoung14]

The first time I saw wipe on Poppy's i immediately thought "so like floor wax?"

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Yep, not too different at all. It should hold up better though. At the 1 year mark I am going to do a follow up video on these test panels and see how they are looking.

[@Mastermindyoung14]

​@MrJustinWheeler I only say that because it reminds me of something lazy people would do to their boots in the military instead of polishing them. They had 'sham shine' which was essentially mop'n glow floor wax for your boots. Haha Interested in a follow up!

[@tri5garage544]

Should have tried out flood penetrol, it works great.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I hadn’t heard of that. Thanks for the info!

[@tri5garage544]

@@MrJustinWheeler i learned about it from primer is best. He uses it a lot. I plan to use wipe on clear soon but the penetrol works and holds up great “it does take about a week to fully setup but it’s worth it “.

[@staycurious3954]

The penetrol looks promising and cheap too!

[@davidhaywood9794]

Definitely wanna see how long these hold up.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I cleared the whole Chevy s-10 today. Will post a vid here in a couple days. Pretty impressed.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

@@cdz2269 pretty good. Still very happy with it. There are a couple spots that look like they might be flaking, but i need to take a closer look. I’ll post a follow up video soon.

[@cdz2269]

@@MrJustinWheeler thanks. Did you figure a way to remove the streaks? Gonna use this on the hood and roof of my 11’ ppv the Miami sun has killed the clear lol

[@MrJustinWheeler]

@@cdz2269 I did not fully remove the streaks, but I didn’t try very hard. In the places where I took my time and applied it correctly, there are no streaks. So it’s possible to apply it in a smooth finish. I think if you’re just doing a hood in the shade, you could get good results.

[@guymiller9212]

How long does product number two that Zep 1 gallon jug and does it attract any dust particles such as baby oil or anything like that I said an oily substance

[@MrJustinWheeler]

It’s lasted quite a while. And it completely dries, so it attract dirt. I’ll be doing a 9 month review video later this month to show how well each one is holding up.

[@brett7794]

How long does each one last is the question we need now bud

[@MrJustinWheeler]

The experiment is still ongoing. Long term testing on each of the vehicles applied the products to.

[@50tyson34]

I am really curious about whether or not the lines disappear after cutting and polishing on the poppys and vicegripgarage. any comment?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

They did to an extent. Tbh, I didn’t put much effort into a cut and polish. Just did a small section to see if it would smooth out, and it did. Could a guy get it like glass, probably if you did two coats and were thorough. I’ve got a follow up video coming to show how they are each holding up 9 months later.

[@3gcraftsman]

Any updates on longevity?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Still early, but it looks great. No change yet. Overall happy with it.

[@TruckCentral]

Will this work on gold rims?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

They are going to shine like buttah! 🧈

Floor cleaner won’t do well in UV
