ULTIMATE SPRAY SEALANT TEST | CHEAP V EXPENSIVE SHOOT OUT

[@1881Gordon]

This is a really , really good upload. Quick should out for your slick video editing, nice photo stills and great presentation. Nice work!

[@GMDetails]

Much appreciated! Thank you 👌

[@DavidMcBay]

Excellent video as allways Graeme, im loving the production! The colour of that car is just fantastic! Im already looking forward to the follow up videos to see what happens with each of the products as theres a couple of my faves in there.

[@GMDetails]

Thanks Dave!, I know there are stronger diy applications of sealants out nowadays but I wanted to kind of rewind a little and look at what’s different between cheaper ones and more expensive

[@nigelbryant5932]

Lovely looking car. Great colour. That Sonax looks amazing. I’ve never used it. Always used Bilt Hamber. I will order a bottle. Keep up the great work 👍👍

[@GMDetails]

Cheers mate , glad you enjoyed the video , little tip with Sonax, spray one spray with a forceful pull of the trigger , it atomises better and also you can dilute some at 1-1 for a lovely drying aid too 👌

[@SparkleanAutos]

Absolutely fantastic video Graeme - love the intro 🤣👌🏼 Great, impartial description of each product and i genuinely can't wait for the results video! As you know ive used 2 of these products recently myself but i wont mention them here as its not necessarily relevant yet - maybe after your results are up it'll be worth comparing different experiences 👍🏼 So well edited mate and perfect anount of time spent on each product! I wont be contributing to your Kranzle by the way, for moral reasons as much as financial - i dont see why any domestic user needs a machine that expensive 🤣👍🏼

[@GMDetails]

Thanks Mark!, glad you enjoyed it I’m having serious problems with the video editor I use and I really don’t want to have to learn to use another one but I may have to 😭 I don’t see why GB products don’t get more airtime I love them !! I think by end of August will be enough time to call it on them before moving on to something else like a wax of some kind 🤔

[@SparkleanAutos]

@@GMDetails already looking forward to that too 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@jamesbartlett5005]

Look forward to the results graeme . The old BSD still performs with the best spray sealants IMHO , just bit tacky to remove sometimes

[@GMDetails]

Thanks , I think the tackiness comes down to the trigger delivering too large an amount on the panel and could also combine with the wrong type of cloth , I find a really forceful pull of the trigger atomises it more and I used a perl weave cloth (low pile) to spread and buff with the other side worked a treat

Good test Graeme. Surprised with the GT 3 product, looked as if it was retaining water. Love GT products and have most of them apart from Ceramic products. Sorry I've missed a good few of your videos over the last few months. Catching up!

[@GMDetails]

It has mainly to do with using a garden hose rather than a pressure washer, using water to demonstrate water behaviour can sometimes throw very different results, they all seem to show a lot of water retention really using the hose 🤔

[@iancollins2325]

Again great content Graeme. One thing regarding the drying towel, I've had mine a while now but find it's colour is starting to run when washing it, I now wash it by itself it doesn't affect the absorbency at all.

[@GMDetails]

Thank you Ian, yes I had noticed a tiny amount of colour loss from new so better not put it in with the wife’s best undies 🤣🤣

Thanks mate 👍

[@otomoravec1732]

Graeme, watching the section where you praise the drying towel - can you share your washing procedure? I seem to struggle with this - i follow the instructions but my towels progressively lost the ability to absorb water. I doubled the dosage of detergent and increased the temperature from 40 to 60*C but they are still far away from what they used to be when new. Thank you

[@GMDetails]

The trick is not to use your best drying towel with any drying aids like quick detailers or spray waxes , once your towel has become hydrophobic I’m afraid there really isn’t any way it’ll come back to how it was from new

[@otomoravec1732]

@@GMDetails Damn, thats exactly what i did. Supercharged Llama recommended a brand of detergent to me that is capable of “unclogging” the towels, but it is not available in my area sadly. I will have to experiment some more with what i can get haha. Thank you mate.

Cracking content, enjoyed that, Graeme. Like Mark said, itll be very interesting to see the updates. I've got the old TW, and i had streaking issues with that and, coincidentally, on the same colour vehicle. And yes, it's damned annoying, expecially after all the effort of cleaning the car. All the best 👍.

[@GMDetails]

Thanks Lee!, I’m looking forward to the wheel video with its two sealants on it as well, they do look so nice in gloss black with protection, after that expires I think I’ll take ‘em off , full decon & polish and give them a 2 yr ceramic

[@Richard_Details]

Some decent products there Graeme. Still need to have a go at Autobrite Magiseal though 😉 May I ask where you get your plush towels from as well please

[@GMDetails]

Thanks mate, yeah I’ll def get round to Magiseal some time , wish I had more cars to clean to get trying other products In the video the yellow cloths are just the Kirkland Costco ones and the pink ones were from a brilliant company called mcrofbre , link to their website is in the description if you want to have a look at them 👍

[@pigeonpoo1823]

Nice car Very interesting video. I'm intrigued to see how the TW gets on as it's cheap. I'm guessing these products are designed to stick to paint, so could they be used as a topper to a wax like BH DSW or would they fail to stick and just wash off the next time you clean your car? Cheers

[@GMDetails]

Very interesting question !! I always go with sealants are never good on top of a wax but the hybrid ones like the Turtlewax , GB Detailing Silk and the Stjarnagloss Parla can all sit on top of a wax , I wouldn’t use GT 3CS over a wax they have Sigma for that as well as their QD , but you can apply any of them UNDER a wax if you wanted to 👌

[@gsmautomotive]

Great video mate. Will be interested to see how GT CS gets on with you rinsing to show the water behaviour as I thought it needed 24 hrs cute time. I applied a year ago and it got wet about 18 hours after application and felt the product didn’t perform as expected. Trying again soon.

[@GMDetails]

Thanks , ahh you must have missed the part where I said I didn’t show the first water behaviour until the next day 😅

[@NoFix]

Ever since ur last test with these i did my own test of BSD vs Parla and had the same results. Parla can take way more of a beating than BSD. Now, BSD is not a bad product AT ALL! ;)

[@GMDetails]

That’s brilliant to know as results can vary depending on location with washing frequencies and quality of water etc so thanks for the info 👍👍

[@NoFix]

@@GMDetails with pleasure. Also BSD can be a drying aid or stand alone application. But parla needs dry surface i noticed, does not keep itself if u apply it as a drying aid. :)

[@GMDetails]

@@NoFix I’ve just been experimenting with some other ceramic sealants as wet applications, something they’re not designed for but some can and some can’t , things like this just interest me maybe a little too much 😅

[@NoFix]

@@GMDetails haha i found my twin then. I like to experiment also. Even combining different products. 2 weeks ago i combined parla and BSD in a bottle and it gave clotts 🙈. Just to say, i experiment also. For now fusso coat+bsd on every wash got my girlfriends car almost a good 10 months protection before the lower doors started to get hit. Yesterday i applied fusso coat on mine and im gonna do a test with parla after every wash now. 🤓 Every few weeks i order a few new products which i think is good and try them. Last one was Bilt Hamber speed wax. Not bad but i found it annoying that the wax “sweats”. Also Soft 99 the glaco for on the mirrors does an amazing job for my rear view camera which is exposed. On the mirrors it gives a slight smoky tint, but for the camera its perfect. Yesterday tried also the compound of soft 99 before fusso and it was superbe also. Even did the windows with it and i was pleasently surprised.

[@GMDetails]

@@NoFix I love this!!, your passion and enthusiasm is absolutely brilliant !!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge I never knew speed wax sweats, that would be quite annoying I’ll remember if it happens to me you said it first 👌

[@johnbrown3951]

Hi Graeme I have used a few sealants over the last few years but only the GT CS from that lineup. It will be interesting to see how long your selection lasts. As you are probably aware I am a wax guy from John@M & K but I play with a few other products on cars I look after for other people. I often use M & K Rinse as a topper for a car when the wax is failing before I then remove and start again. I am currently loving Gyeon wax that I think for water behavior is as good as a ceramic coat and I have re visited my bottle of Auto Finesse Lavish Ceramic foam which beads like crazy. My weapon of choice for wheels is a combination of M & K Armour & Wax + on my Jag and the other one I use for other cars is Gyeon wet coat which I also use for plastic wheel arches on all cars mine or others. The GT CS seems to like a layer of Sigma as a topper and then maintained with their QD but I found M & K shortly after buying those products and they have sat on the shelf ever since so I forget the longevity I got from it. I have always meant to re visit it but never got round to it. I like your new car and the colour is just perfect. I was a fan of MG before they were Chinese owned having had a MG ZR 2.0 D and the 2nd Gen MG ZS 180 2.5L V6 which was my favourite car that I have ever owned that was not a JLR product but it only did 5 miles to the Litre and at the time I lived on the Isle of Lewis where petrol was not the cheapest. If MG did an Electric SUV 4X4 with a range of 300+ I would seriously consider it next time but for now the i-Pace is a keeper as 400PS is so good and the sound system from Meridian makes up for the lack of engine & exhaust notes my Mini JCW had in spades. I look forward to the follow up films.

[@GMDetails]

Thanks John, yes I still remember you 😅 The Gyeon wax is that the roll on one ?, launched a couple years ago?, haven’t heard much about it since it launched but then there are so many new things coming up so often. Ahh ROVER MG , good cars with a little bit extra , I wanted the rover 200 in racing green with orange front grill, thought it looked awesome but maybe not now 😅 I think you’d think it was too much of a comedown from your ipace to a Chinese MG electric but they do have the new MG-4 which doesn’t look too bad

[@johnbrown3951]

@@GMDetails The wax is the roll on one. I bought it when I got my JCW coated then sold the car so it sat on the shelf for nearly a year. I love the ease of application and removal and the water behavior is crazy. I think a Rover 200 would not be so cool these days but I loved my MG ZR in the day. I bought the yellow one as I thought it would be rare then drove to Skye to work and there were 3 parked in the street including mine who would have thought. Yes a bit of a comedeown but I do like the heritage of MG and after losing £20k in the value of my electric car in a year it might be the most cost effective thing to do in this economic climate but will need to keep i-Pace for a few years yet.

Is Auto Finesse still considered top shelf product? When I started with detailing 2 years ago AF seemed to be super popular. Now it looks there is SO MANY products, especially on the UK market, i am starting to lose track!

[@GMDetails]

Auto Finesse is (in my opinion) far from top shelf products, more of a scene brand but they do have one or two gems in the range like Tripple glaze. After reviewing so many in previous years I’ve come to the conclusion that IF I were to only use ONE brand going forward it would be Garage Therapy , their products are very well made, intensely researched and work incredibly well.

BSD is a fantastic product that Ive used as a drying aid . I find the gloss is pants but the water behaviour is fantastic . I love GT 3 CS personally, the gloss you can get I found great . One you didnt test i have used is Go Detailing spray sealant . A lot like CS its a good product but like it its a more time consuming to apply product . Another I have used is the Auto Glym spray ceramic detailer . Weirdly I find it a good product and lovely to apply yet its not one Id reach for from my product holdalls. Love the fact your doing a real time test as good as some reviewers are with showing application videos its how they last that will interest many . Personally if it lasts a month Im happy as I just love the application side of car care over the OOOOOH its lasts 36 months if you wash it with fairy tears approach

[@GMDetails]

Exactly this!!, imagine you pay £50 for a bottle of something that lasts 36 months and you get so fed up after 3 or 4 months you use something else 🤣 There’s a ton of ceramic and graphene infused products out there now , all pretty easy to use and enjoyable , GO are out the game now (didn’t last long at all ) , nice branding and all but wasn’t to be 🙁

Hi Graeme. The current form of S&G has now been taken off sale for a reformulation. We have figured out the issue. Happy to PM you, obviously literal ingredients are sensitive info for public comment. But essentially current version is being adapted to become a dedicated wheel sealant due to how excellent it is at this. Just looking to increase heat resistance. We will then be re-releasing a new version for bodywork 🤟👨‍🍳
