P & S Dream Maker VS Turtle Wax Pure Shine VS Meguiars Insane Shine Paint Glosser!! COMPARISON!

[@apexdetail85]

Which of these do you prefer?

[@millerdetailing4176]

Ive used Dream maker but haven’t used the other ones to compare to.

[@richardseem7948]

I'll pass

[@MNpicker]

@@richardseem7948 yep🤓

[@slickhyatte]

I would probably go with Dream Maker since I've heard it has anti static properties, so it attracts less dust which sounds great for me working next to a gravel yard. However, Griots Garage Speed Shine hasn't let me down when I grab it.

[@Amor1990]

None of them. PolishAngel High Gloss is the only one I ever use

[@BlackIce1619]

I use PureShine on top of SiO2 topper/protectant. It allowes my vehicle to attract less dust and usually can go 1-2 weeks longer than without.

[@martylawrence7942]

I'm just a novice at detailing, and mostly do it on my own hot rods. The question I have is that I've used Dream Maker in the past when preparing for a car show, and found that it REALLY attracts dust. I love the gloss enhancement, but I hate dusting the car off so frequently. Turtle Wax claims to repel dust. Would it be possible to do a comparison of products that claim to reduce dust? Thank you for another great video!

[@Biochemechanic]

You need to use a 20 degree gloss meter, a 60 degree meter reading does not correlate well with visual. The resolution is much finer with a 20 degree meter. My background is paint and coatings. You can have the same 60 degree reads on surfaces, but the 20 degree will give you a 10+ unit difference. Repeatable and reproducible readings are obtained by taking at least three readings in different spots on the panel and averaging them. I ran QC/QA for a large coatings company.

[@stevekuebler5101]

You just saved me $20. I was excited with seeing that TW and Meguairs had introduced these new detail sprays. After your demonstration, I’ll pass on them both. Thanks.

[@tier1detailing]

The lighting wasn't the greatest in this video. IMJOSHV just posted a test with the same products, and Meguiar's was the only product that visibly reduced swirl marks. Lighting is tough

[@LayLow83]

I just got done applying TW Flex with Graphene for the 5th time on my new Traverse. This time I followed up with a coat of TW Pure Shine because I’m looking to reduce static. I have a vacation home on a dirt road that I have to drive on for a 1/4 mile. After a weekend the rear lift gate is just covered with road dust. It’s so annoying. Pure Shine claims to reduce static. I guess I will find out this weekend. I was not immediately impressed with the slickness when I finished yesterday. But after it set up overnight, it’s very slippery now. About as slippery as F11 Top Cost. It also appears to have a deepening & darkening effect on the paint color. I applied by hand and it flashed so much easier than the TW Flex product.

[@404notfound.....]

Good to see some real world testing on these common & new products. Will definitely be saving some money now.

[@FYRARMS]

Not very impressive. There are other "toppers" that actually provide a little added protection as a sacrificial layer, and they have been proven to boost gloss. I have tried many, and have settled on 3 toppers for each protection category... Waxed paint --- I really like Adam's Polishes' "Spray Wax" (I think it scored well in your own gloss tests, too). Sealed paint --- Bead Maker on light colors and Xtreme Solutions "Topper" on darker colors. Coated paint --- Jescar "Ceramic Spray Wax" (formerly "Bead It"). This is such an underrated product!

[@fernandoorozco3764]

I don't have experience with pure shine nor meguiars. I only have tried dream maker, and it's the only p&s product I've ever used. I agree with your results, I can tell the difference when I use it vs when I don't. I usually go over Titan with this and the results are pretty awesome.

[@Super1prettyboy]

There is more to gloss with the naked eye then just the meter reading. The way our eyes perceive shiny reflective paint is also a “gloss” factor. Depth of color also a factor.

[@apexdetail85]

Absolutely…it’s subjective as one person has another perception than another.

[@edng4595]

thanks for the video. I recently bought the P&S and applied it to my white car (it already has Meguairs Polish, Show Car Glaze, Ultimate Liquid Wax) ... without the P&S , the paint is already quite glossy. With the P&S , it just added just a tiny bit more. Not spectacular. Then I got the Meguairs Insane Shine Paint Glosser and applied it to my blue car (same Meguairs Polish, Show Car Glaze, Ultimate Liquid Wax treatment as the white car). The result from the Meguairs is quite noticeable: the blue is darker and added gloss brights a bit specular shine to the paint. In my area, the Meguairs is 3 times less expensive than the P&S. so my choice is very clear :) I'll put some Meguairs on the white car to see what it'll do. Not sure if it will make the white 'darker' !!! In the past, I've used Meguairs ultimate quick detialer on top and with repeated use , the product produces quite a bit of shine....but lacks the warm glossiness of these gloss enhancers.

[@viperrcr]

I like adding 1.5oz of Dream Maker to my Bead Maker, this is a nice combo for best of both worlds and adds anti-static properties to help repel some dust for a bit.

[@williambell7712]

I had higher expectations for the new TW product, i"ll have to pass. The P&S Dreammaker i have used quite a bit. I like to mix it with Beadmaker to help with the dust attraction issue. Honestly though when my gallons are empty i will not re-up. My customers were very happy with the appearance and slickness, and it is very affordable in gallon sizes. Great video Brian you saved me few dollars.

[@dtna]

What mix ratio do you use? Bead Maker/Dream Maker?

[@williambell7712]

@@dtna i just tried it at 50/50. Ive seen a video where Dave Phillips the chemist at P&S recommended 10 parts beadmaker to 1 part dreamaker if my memory is correct. I am done with beadmaker though once my bottles are done. On my personal vehicles that are coated i use Extreme Solutions Topper or Gyeon ceramic detailer or Ethos pro shine. I just started using Ethos graphene Resist and it blew me away. all the ones i mentioned are far better than beadmaker but cost more. You could contact Miller detailing on this blog too see what dilutions he uses. HE IS A GREAT GUY. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU

[@nicholasanthony-thesix11ar73]

I saw the rag company/P.S guys saying to use dream maker over beadmaker for dust/pollen. I assume you could use one of these others to under the same premise but doesn’t seem worth it . Kind reminds me of the hybrid V07 people used to use

[@millerdetailing4176]

As you stated Brian i honestly don’t have much of a use for these products. I have done the Dream maker and Bead maker mix which isn’t bad for gloss boost and a quick detailer.

[@huzudra]

Eagle One Wipe and Shine was always my go-to, sadly discontinued now. Good gloss, some added protection, helped remove dust and light grime safely. It was just too good for this world.

[@larrydavisj]

Eagle one wipe and shine smells pretty good as well. Not the real reason for using it, but it helps.

[@huzudra]

@@larrydavisj Honestly yes, good smelling products are more enjoyable for the home-guy like me to use.

[@diggersdiecast8879]

they are great for maintenance washes. As a drying aid/topper. i love pure shine as a last step product, can't always be using products that leave behind protection when you wash 2-3 times per month.

[@katiecannon8186]

That’s what I’m trying to find: I quick detailer I can use like 3 days a week as I live on a dirt road. Would Pure Shine work?

[@diggersdiecast8879]

@@katiecannon8186 yes I would trust pure shine for that

[@Bezzle.]

I’d like to see an update doing each panel with each product, especially since the initial gloss was so low on the first panel. It’s easier to get a better result on a panel with a lower starting point vs a panel with a higher starting point if all 3 products are relatively close in performance.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

If im gonna spray some "detail" spray, would rather use ceramic speed shine... at least can give some protection

[@You-sw7tm]

Pan the Organizer claims that th TW Pure Shine acts as a dirt repellent. If that's true, then I'd say it's worth it.

[@Fyane004]

A few days ago I did a test on the bonnet of my Accord, one step mild correction with Meguiars yellow foam, used Rupes uno Protect,, a 15mm shinemate, speed 3. Waited 20 minutes, and wiped off the residue by spraying Wolfgang Concours Series WG-1652 Uber SiO2, diluted 36 to 1. The result of that test was a smoothness that had never been achieved before. My next test will be to clean that residue with Meguiars D155. I wonder if the 155 compares in any way to these products? Good video Brian, I love your content, I learn a lot on this channel. Greetings from Chile.

[@thetechlibrarian]

as a amateur detailer im partial to the turtle wax pure shine for my maintenance washs. its so easy to work with.

[@joey86bu1]

I love the gloss machine, makes comparing easy. Well done!

[@daveerickson8490]

Dream Maker does add a nice pop of gloss but I have more trouble than success. Sometimes it "melts" into the panel and provides a nice boost in gloss over an already shiny surface, but most of the time it forms a white haze and gets smeary. I've played with application amount and towel weave without luck, and this is on top of a P&S coating to keep manufacturer symmetry.

[@dtna]

I have not decided if P&S Dreammaker is something I need. I don't attend car shows and most car finishes are good enough for me.

[@dragonwithak]

For me I just enjoy my car looking beyond perfect at all times despits not entering car shows and whatnot if you're happy with the condition your car is in its not a necessity more so a luxury that you're free to use should you want to

Hey Brain your right about the meter not picking the reflection, when you apply dream maker there was a white haze on the hood the second time you apply it the haze got brighter.

[@rouman7]

Tried many others but allways return to turtle wax products

[@kristofferpence]

Yeah, just like 3D final touch I use. I use it on top of protection, it amplifies gloss, but as far as protection, nope. Good to have when you don’t want to clog towels or coatings.

Looks like dream maker lost gloss units. The reading I saw when you placed it over the same spot was 89.something. Then it looked like you moved it to get the 92 score. Weird.

Every time you apply something, it costs more money. On the other hand, if the results are off world fantastic, then it may be worth the time and money. Interesting that the products label boasts insane gloss, but gloss meter says otherwise. Not for me. Sorry. Thx Brian for the review.

[@laurapalmerTDGE]

Personally, I find these products completely worthless in the sense that they offer no added value, except for a short-lived show, but nothing more. I recently made the switch to 3D and more specifically the Bead It Up as well as the Xpress wax. Before that I had the Megs Ceramic QD and a few items from Poorboys. In addition to the 3D, Gyeon QD (ordinary + ceramic) meets the requirements and quality. As well as the very good CS3. But as usual, thanks for bringing the reviews to light.
