What's The Best Ceramic Detailer? | First Wash | Adams v Chemical Guys v NV v P&S v Platinum Potions

Hey guys back again with a new comparison series.
this time we'll be comparing 5 different quick detailers that are suggested as toppers for ceramic coatings.
in this series we have a panel that is split in half with the top section being coated with Gyeon Pure Evo and bottom half just being bare polished paint
so the aim is to test each product both on the coated section and the uncoated section to see if any of the products mask the superior water behaviour of the ceramic coating, but also to see if as they wear away they cause any issues.
to do this we leave one section of coating untouched and one section of the bare paint untouched as the control sections allowing us to monitor the rest and compare results.
** Yes I stuffed up and used the wrong chemical guys product**
products used are
Platinum Potions Hydro Detailer
P&S Beadmaker
NV Boost V2
Adams Graphen Detail Spray
Chemical Guys Hydroslick Detailer

Some great testing here! Love seeing this keep it coming!

[@EvolvedDetails]

Thanks so much I really appreciate it

[@Vc12383]

Big fan of your content. This overall test is awesome and exactly the type if stuff the relevant Also NV Boost v2 is a monster, strange it has gotten absolutely ZERO attention since release

[@EvolvedDetails]

Thanks mate much appreciated, yeah I've been guilty of sleeping on Boost V2 as I had it for ages and barely used it but that will change after these results

[@shanedawes]

Love your videos man very informative

[@EvolvedDetails]

Thanks mate

[@fps-gs3hz]

Very interesting results so far. Did not expect such a performance from bead maker

[@EvolvedDetails]

Thanks mate, sadly it's about what I expected from it

[@rooboy99]

Bead maker has little to no durability.

[@brooke3837]

DIY DETAIL ceramic gloss would be a good one to test on your next test panel. Cheers

[@EvolvedDetails]

Have had a few suggestions for that so 8kl definitely try to get some soon

[@Brian_N]

Very interesting test! Would like to see Kamikaze quick detailer in the mix if you have the chance. It’s supposed to have light decontamination removal for water spots and minerals in addition to topping up the coating. Would be interesting to see if it actually does anything to improve an older coating.

[@EvolvedDetails]

Thanks mate I'll have to have a look for it

[@seabrew1]

Labocosmetica's PERFÈCTA 2.0 is supposed to do the same thing.

[@xxHydroponicxx]

Really appreciate your updates. Thank you. I’m a big convert to pressure foam washing. I’d really appreciate your opinion on the best foam wash to use after the prerinse. I’m currently using Chemical Guys Extreme Wash & Wax for the prerinse and then Meguiars gold class wash.

[@EvolvedDetails]

Thanks mate, 2 of my favourites are gyeon foam and carpro lift for cleaning power. For general foaming Mirch Blue Candy or any of the bowdens snow foams are great

[@xxHydroponicxx]

@@EvolvedDetails Much appreciated 👍

[@xxHydroponicxx]

@@EvolvedDetails Could I also ask, what’s your favourite brand for random orbital polishing pads? I’ve been using Meguiars for ages but their pad designs don’t seem to be evolving

[@EvolvedDetails]

I use shinemate, carpro and lake country the most

[@kidiraq8381]

Awesome! Here to support smaller channels! How much do you think it matters to stay “in product”, meaning oof I use Adams to ceramic coat my vehicle, should be using their topper as a spray? God Bless!

[@EvolvedDetails]

Thanks so much I appreciate it, I've found that you can use any brand on top of a coating so I the last test I had carpro as thr costing and the carpro topper performed just as well as any other of product so I'd use any of them on the carpro coatings. I'm sure the Adams is the same

[@nicksufo2565]

Hi mate - would you consider throwing in a budget priced one to see how it fares? It's the Repco home brand "Eclipse Ceramic Polish." At 14 bucks at the moment, I've gotten at least 2 months out of this when it has been rubbed in (garaged vehicle), rather than spray and rinse. No ceramic coating. I barely need the wiper blades on in light rain when applied to the windscreen.

[@EvolvedDetails]

Hi mate unfortunately that one is more of a rinse on spray off base protection sealant so wouldn't be able to use it in this type of test but could use it eventually in a video as I do have some here

[@biom9]

If I can make a suggestion? Take a look into Xtreme Solutions Topper. My humble opinion, it starches this lineup, as I’ve tried all but one. Topper is a B&B Blending product (Adams blender in Colorado) formerly know as slipstream and Xtreme Solutions has tweaked (so has Obsessed Garage, drying aid). It’s a must try in my opinion but to each their own.

[@EvolvedDetails]

I'm planning on getting the obsessed garage one for the next series as it's orally available here in Australia but I'll see if I can find Xtreme solutions

[@biom9]

From what I’ve seen is that the scent is missing form the obsessed version and lit lack a little bit of the same glow. I’ll ship you some if you’d like. It’s cheap here US.

[@EvolvedDetails]

Do you think it would make a big difference? Shipping would be a lot so I'd hate to cost you money if I could get similar performance from obsessed which I can get here

[@biom9]

@@EvolvedDetails honestly don’t know. I their must be some tweaks for them both to have the same exact product. I know for sure the obsessed version doesn’t not have a scent or dye, who knows what else he had to change to get the base product.

[@sillyz456]

Do any products retain the slickness feeling after 1 week?

[@EvolvedDetails]

I'll definitely test that at the 2 week mark

[@chrisdoesthis3571]

Platinum potions is clearly the best one if you take the prices and performance into account but NV is the best performer by far it's just z bit pricey imo

[@EvolvedDetails]

Very good points there

[@seabrew1]

NV Boost is very easy to use.

[@EvolvedDetails]

Yeah this test proved I need to be using it more

[@seabrew1]

@@EvolvedDetails Polish Angel Rapidwaxx is even better but the stuff it to expensive.

[@charlesbardforth6738]

Breadmaker is an interesting one. My guess is the coating rejected it almost instantl. You really do have to flood the panel to make it stick. Such a waste of product. Then normal after that. But even than, don't think i have ever had it last more than a month before i need to flood it again

[@EvolvedDetails]

Yeah I've tried it with the flooding technique and it seemed such a waste, but even the non coated section failed after a week this time which didn't really surprise me

[@charlesbardforth6738]

@@EvolvedDetails confusing product.

[@watchingvideos4498]

NV for the win

[@EvolvedDetails]

It's doing very well so far

[@claudiadavies5110]

Go NV😊

[@EvolvedDetails]

Very solid product that one
