There is a detailer that promotes these products in Australia and its the one and only Sandro from car craft auto detailing. He's in my opinion the best detailer on TH-cam because of his in depth paint correction before coating videos.Most of his coating jobs are with NV pro which is their flag ship product.
If you can get some of that coating I think you will be very happy.
I own & use both Lustre and Jet. The "magic sauce" is to apply Lustre for the filling, paint darkening & gloss properties, then apply Jet on top of it to protect. Great combo!
About how long does this combo last in real world conditions?
@@drewloutz A commenter below says he has had Jet last 6 months on a daily driver. I personally have not myself done a longevity test on either product.
Good to see these hit UK shores. I've seen Sandro from Car Craft Auto Detailing in Melbourne use and speak highly of their products.
Another brilliant review. Love your channel.
Hey Jon. Fellow Aussie detailer. Great to see NV make it on your channel. Jet is a crazy hydrophobic ceramic spray coating and Lustre is similar but has fillers and great at enhancing gloss. These products have been available for the last 3+ years here in Oz. They also have a crazy AIO/ceramic primer called NV Morph. It's like Carpro Essence but on crack! Better gloss and correcting ability.
Hey mate, I'm in Sydney, Australia. I recently purchased Nova Jet and Lustre but haven't got around to using them. Been so busy..
Anyway, I was thinking to use Lustre as a foundation coating, then after it cures, go over it with the Jet for that insane hydrophobic effect plus UV protection. Why would you do it any other way right ?
Yep. That is correct. Lustre as the base coating then top it off with Jet.
For about a year, I have been using NV Lustre and NV Boost. They are very expensive, but I reserve both products for my garage queens. The Lustre has fantastic saturation characteristics on black paint with great gloss and depth. I use it as a topper to CSL/EXO base coating. I have not found an SIO2 topper that looks as good as NV Lustre, which is a huge plus! I apply Boost about every 2nd or 3rd wash as that final drying aid wipe with a very fine mist. It seems to “boost” the effects of the Luster, which realistically last about 3 months. Both of these products are reserved as a top shelf application. Although they are WAY too expensive to use regularly on daily drivers, I don’t mind paying extra for application on my Chevelle and Corvette. These products are “that good!” As for the other products in the NV lineup, I can’t see the advantage in paying those prices for shampoos, wheel, glass cleaners, etc. But, Lustre and Boost are worth the money for the queens. Great video Jon.
As always Jon funny and sincere.Happy New Year to your entire family 👏🏾👌
Watched a video from an Australian detailer around 6 months ago about Nova Jet , and it really impressed me . It was purely the lack of availability in the UK at the time stopped me from purchasing any .
Very expensive to be fair.
Hopefully this is the first of many more brand reviews in 2022,love these episodes 👌🤙
Loved this review Jon -always like a brand run through from FDC. You can really sense the weight of experience and knowledge behind your judgements….i think the biggest talking point is the price. £27 for 500ml detail spray - wow that’s a whopper! Compre it to AutoQD at 1:9 and you’re in a different universe. I was surprised at 6 months durability claims…always skeptical about those…
Always good to hear your feedback when we get a new brand make it's way over to us, so thanks for that. They have a ceramic coating called Evo which is supposed to be pretty epic, it certainly looks good from the videos I've seen of it. Might be worth considering it for any ceramic coating content you have planned for the summer (if any) as there seems to be a bit of movement in that market with Gyeon re-releasing their lineup.
Was looking forward to your video all.John Thank you
Thanks Jon. I cannot see the sense in transporting car shampoo all the way from Australia in an already overcrowded marketplace. Bilt Hamber does just fine for me, at a fraction of the price.....
Great review and I agree with your opinions on the products and the brand.
That is a fair review and like how you've described what you like about the products, I agree with Jon about bigger bottles for the professionals to get a handle on the brand.
I also like to see 'Jet' being used and pitted against another beeding product.
Also If you're reading this Jon I'd love to see a review on the most beeding hydrophobic bling LSPs pitted against each other is another one of your shoot outs, perhaps see what the new Gyeon EVO range has to offer? I'm really into extreme beeding/ sheeting water behaviors 🙌
Really good information, thank you so much! 😊
Nice review, Jon. I can't stay that i'll be running out and getting some of this stuff - but looks decent either way.
Great review, and I agree with pretty much everything you said. Nv is like the hot new night club that doesn't have a sign over the door but everyone wants to go there and buy $25 drinks. It's something new, and worth a look but after a while you realize you can get the same drinks at your regular place. I think their products are very good, and their ceramic coating is top tier and not that expensive, but they lack a presence in large markets and their price points are going to make it a hard sell for detailing supply companies to carry it, especially if they don't have bulk discounts. If their prices were comparable to say Gyeon/CarPro, I think they would be much better positioned in the premium market.
In a swamped UK market Jon it’s quite refreshing to use over seas products the main problem with the overseas stuff is tax and shipping costs which have to be passed onto the consumers hope your well Jon 🙌🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Yer it's a real tough problem for the brand's and some of our UK stuff costs a fortune out there for the same reason
Thanks John. You're quite right that price may hinder the UK market. I'm in Aus and we see the same issues with products like Bilt Hamber or Koch Chemie. We can buy 4L containers of NV down here so that brings the price down considerably. Lustre and Jet are both standout products. If used indivually can last 5-6 months. There is also improved results when layering the products, both individually and together. I usually do 2 layers of Lustre followed by 2 layers of Jet. Interestingly when used together they don't last quite as long. More likely 3-4 months or durability. Lustre is so nice and slick with its application and Jet does feel a little grabby. A little goes a long way with both products. NV also make some excellent Ceramic Coatings for both DIY or Professionals. Application is super easy too.
Yes! This ^^ when I see the UK and USA products and how much they cost here vs there it's exactly the same. If you were to buy 4L of NV Snow and Snow + in Australia its about equivalent to £39 which just gets to under £1 for a full foam cannon bottle and £.50 for a bucket wash
NV is amazing. All I use now is exclusively Gyeon Quartz and NV car care in the USA.
I’ve been doing my detailing for over 20 years and nowadays there’s so many products to choose from that the market is saturated. You have to be very careful to not get sucked in unless you end up having shelf after shelf of unused products.
Thats very true mate. I am still in a begging phase and I already realized that the best thing is to just stick to what works for you.
@@alexisamtosta As go to products Bilt Hamber are you just superb 😉 👍🏼
@@D992 Yes they are. I like both Bilt Hamber and Autoglym
I’ve been dabbling with this line over the last year. So far Jet and Boost are the only stand outs for me; Jet durability is second-to-none so far as it has easily lasted half a year and is still going (I did three coats upon application). However, as you mention on most of these, they are so expensive that they really need to be incredible to win-out over others. I will be going back to the Obsessed Garage arrangement this spring.
Cracking review as always. Great with you hitting a review again.
These seem very good products but way way to expensive when you have GT and Bouncers who would take some beating also they are both so easy to apply and come in 5 ltrs im struggling like you to see a USP
You forgot to mention that Purify is first an Iron Remover and then a clay lube. It’s a 2 in 1 product. Boost its also one of the easiest detailers I’ve worked with.
My fav of their line is Lustre, since it gives cars with imperfect paint a good jump in the quality of the paint.
A good, thorough introduction to the brand I think. Lustre and Jet really are the high water mark for their range and for similar products - pricey? Yes, but nothing out there comes close to Lustre, it's sensational.
I agree. It hides imperfections on the paint very well. It makes the car look as if you performed a light polish.
@@SpartanKyuubi you've given me a good idea for a video there. Bilt Hamber Cleanser Polish side by side to Nova Lustre and compare the filling ability.
They had Glass Lite for a while. It was the best Glass cleaner/sealant I’ve tried. But they only made that for a limited run. Hopefully, they come back with it. Very impressive product
Random comment, I measured the pH of Snow+ neat using my digital pH meter(not a cheapo) and it was 12.5! I love Nv products, other than Boost, which is smeary. Purge is the best wheel cleaner I’ve ever used. You need to use it on heavy soil. Clarity is definitely to be used as a panel wipe as well.
I think their stand out product is Purify, an on label clay lube and iron remover. I know other brands that this combo is and off label use make Purify unique to my knowledge.
Good review Jon & pretty much spot on. I'd be keen to try Lustre & Jet but the price is just massively off putting. I already have plenty of excellent spray sealants at a fraction of the cost so for me I just don't see the performance being that much beyond the competition to justify the price. I don't see this brand being successful unless the cost comes down as even premium brands like Gyeon who are much better established offer products like Can Coat which I know is superb & likely superior to Jet at a far cheaper price.
I use Nv Lustre and also have Jet and find the gloss saturation with lustre very good. You only have to use a small amount on a car so it does last some time. It’s a pity about the price in the Uk as these are good products. I have yet to use Jet as it doesn’t rain here too often. As another commentator explained using lustre as the base coat and Jet on top gives the best result.
So I have Jet and Lustre and was expecting Jet to be the star but currently prefer Lustre. It lays out well, looks fantastic and you can see it actively rejecting the snow foam on the next wash.
Never thought I’d see these in the uk seen these loads on yt
What about wheels that are painted? Great work---again!
Love these videos.
Are you planning to do EZ car care, Madcow comparison or review video by any chance?
50% people have bad 50% has good reviews of them and I’d be very interested how they preform under your tests. They’re pretty cheap products especially if you can catch a good deal.
Keep up the great work.👍
Noted m8 ez comes up a lot not so many asking about madcow but I monitor request like this
In Australia the pricing on these are MUCH better which definitely makes them worthwhile. Around 87 cents per wash on the Snow product. They also have microfibres, wash sponges and a high end ceramic coating.
Hi jon they also make a very good ceramic coating which i use a lot
Regarding the Jet, I have one bottle, purchased when first released, and a bottle of it's predecessor, (has about 10% remaining) which have done multiple cars over the last five years, and this stuff is brilliant. I use it twice a year, and having watched you use it, you need to spread it further faster, and those little bottles will last! Best used is Lustre first, one or two coats, followed by Jet over the top. Less really is more, with this stuff! Oh, and the bottle deformation is caused by well sealed caps and your cold climate, product is shrinking with temperature, as do a lot of liquid products.
Both are really solid but it's a massively flooded market of solid sio2 sprays and 8 don't think they will sell well at this price point in the UK.
These products have made their way into the US as well over the last last year, I just ordered both 500ml of the Snow and and Snow plus, as well as their Polish and compound, as a mainly user of Carbon Collective as well. I do belive for the US for the market they do offer a 4L option, which by the time someone picks it up there I would Imagine they would have that offering as well
This is the only thing I use on my c8 here in Houston. You apply luster then jet and you will not be disappointed. Used ‘last coat’ on the car because I ran out and was totally disappointed. Just ordered ‘snow+’ so I can remove that crap.
Car craft auto detailing (TH-camr/detailer) seems to like this company. I believe he uses there ceramic coatings and the products. Personally I think it’s nice how they provide a good quality trigger and nice looking bottles but like you say you can get they are expensive. Good review as usual! 🙂
For glass i have just bought and use soft99 glaco class cleaner. It was brilliant and there compound gleaner was excellent got alle the roadfilm of the wind screen it was amazing. I would maybe go for the bottle and sponge next time I buy. I still have my Bilt Hamber snowfoam, surfex and korrosol and don't think I'm going to change that.
Would love to se a review of Soft99 products Fusso is good but they have so much more to offer
Oof, nice to see you recognising Aussie brands.
Price is the other way around here, it’s very competitively priced, cheaper then most offerings, available in 4L containers and 20L for custom direct orders.
hey jon could you do a review of K2 products ?
Try out their coatings they are amazing. I use their prograde and enthusiast
Thank you for another interesting video, my choice product range is Autoglym and I can't see anything special to want me to switch to any of those products.
4:09 was that a bilt hamber reference Jon ;)
It makes me think of Paul Mitchell bottles like some type of hair care products. It ant a bad thing. Just different. Would I try it? No as nothing really stands out to me. Nothing says hey I got to have it! Thanks for your honest review! Pricing is a issue for all products especially when you’re talking about 50 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml. That’s really not a lot In my opinion and I don’t detail cars for a living I’m consumer and I detail my own cars.
I keep a bottle of NV Morph for my personal use. Been really hard to get here in the states.
John I’m in USA what the deal with Titian coat across the pond
Will be interested in giving these a try to see if they can come close with the yum range is use currently, price shouldn't be considered when finding the best chemicals, it skews results of comparison tests
Price should alway be discussed, along with the other stuff. That does not mean price matters to all buyers though but a review has to cover this because it's important to lots
About time NV did the rounds.
Thanks Jon, a very comprehensive range to the brand.
Too expensive for me !
When are we going to see some Guitar detailing reviews matey ?
That's the thing I don't detail Nik 🙂
Can you open a PO Box as I want to send you some of my old products to test out
Agree. And they don't go on sale often!
Jon NV doesnt have any offerings in BULK?
Good overview, but as an Aussie who uses their products they perform really well. I particularly like Purify and Purge, both very effective with great results. The prices are more affordable in Australia. Also Clarify is an IPA wipe that doubles as a brilliant window cleaner. The sprayers are fantastic, unlike CarPro!
Even if Nv might be slightly cheaper for you it’s is still borderline expensive. I don’t know about the price of the other brands in Australia but these are not worth it imo.
@@MegaFregel I won’t argue with you because I use products from others such as P&S which are better value, but I still like some of the NV products!
Its like australian PolishAngel , was after it mainly because of Sandro videos, but when I saw prices in uk I am not sure I will buy it 🤷🏻♂️
The label looks like it says NO and as you point out we can get other products ie Bilt Hamber cheaper per wash. So they have a challenge on their hands with price per ltr and customer loyalty.
A clay bar / iron remover all in one is brilliant
Please review ginour/topvork da polisher on the channel
Might just be a distribution thing in some countries even turtle wax products can cost an arm and a leg the cost of NV is probably a lot closer in price there but not here.
You should try Bowden's Own line of products! 🇦🇺
Hi Jon,
What bucket organiser you using there?.
Sink caddy umbra
As a Australian we just don't do detailing products unlike the UK or USA with the same thing but in different bottles.
How is the price compared in Aus though? Wondering if there's a lot of markup on it for duty & Import?
Here in Australia, NV is cheaper than CarPro, Gyeon, Bilt Hamber, Koch Chemie etc.
Well worth it.
NV lustre, is EXCELLENT
I’m with most guys here regardless of there performance it’s simply just to expensive now don’t get me wrong I’m all for trying new products and brands but I’ve yet to switch from my trusted combination of turtle wax hybrid range and bilt hamber I like keeping it simple and halving 1 product for each job so I don’t have shelves full of multiple shampoo’s, wheel cleaners, quick detailers, sealants etc. I find it much more affective and easier to keep an eye on what I’m running low on and achieving consistent results.
Seen Sandro over in Oz use some of these products. They do seem high quality but as you say, they are quick pricey.
That's unfortunately due to freight I'd imagine. They're great value here in Australia. It's the same story with us ordering things from Europe and they cost an arm and a leg.
@@WildDanHibiki yeah you’re spot on, I think Koch Chemie has just been released in the USA and the prices are high whereas over in the UK it’s cheap.
Here in Australia everything is expensive, especially imported detailing products so NV are catering more to the Pro's it seems.
The products seem to work well but I like the honest opinion about the price, and it's like why buy these when there is better or equally good cheaper options available.
I think the shipment from Australia plays a big part in the price, along with other things. Everything is super expensive there.
I can't say these products seem terrifically exciting, or innovative to be honest and the price is seriously off putting, but understandable considering how far the products have to come. I just can't see where they fit into our already overcrowded market.
How much ??? Too expensive for my budget hobby.
I’ve really wanted these produces to come to the UK, such great products but at that price they should’ve stayed in Australia.
Alil update. Jet will last 4 months! luster will last 6 months! Boost is meant to wash off meaning you will need to apply every wash. NV car care recommends using jet or luster every month. To maintain the level of the product.
Too expensive imo, can’t see past autoglym polar series for quality and value , I was 5 cars each weekend !
Clarity is an IPA wipe. :)
Great review vid Jon.
Maybe you should look into Larry's AMMO products.
I've been tempted myself to trial them out myself.
I'd be interested in your thoughts/review on them.
anyone in the detailing scene considers ammo nyc a scam and complete garbage. In fact ive blocked that channel, just like i did chemical guys
There going nowhere in the uk with them priced tbh premium prices for bog standard products by the looks of it
You could say those prices are upside down...
Hi Guys 😁✌️
put the Jet up against other brands and you'll see why its pricy. should have sent you EVO too.
Jon doesn't like coatings 🙈
Jon likes jacking it🤲
You do get what you pay for Jon. Lustre has a far more durable than Jet Lustre is the best I've used ever.
Laughing at the prices 😂 They're having a right turkish.
I'm all set with my Carpro and Bilt Hamber
way too pricey for me. i bet they're cheaper in Aus and US?
A bit pointless importing it all if those are the prices.
Reading all the comments about how much better bilt hamber is 🙄🤣 and of course it’s cheaper, it’s made in the UK
Wtf those prices are insane. Buying locally here in Aus is much better value. I'd imagine freight and import taxes etc have forced those prices to blow up.
The prices are pretty much the same as Australia just with the addition of VAT for UK which is 20% and a small addition for postage
An example is NV Jet
£40 AUD which is about £22-£23
Add on the 20% and you get about £27
We have priced at £28.95 (excluding the 10% discount you can get using the Forensic detailing discount code)
Far too expensive - all the money on shipping, customs etc...? Freight costs would be high compared to UK made Bilt
Bottles deforming - We've had several quite significance fluctuations in atmospheric pressure in the last month. If they were open during low pressure, and the vid was taken during high pressure, that could easily account for that much deformation.
Not really.
obligatory that product got fillers in it comment
Really nice to see new products. I wanted to really like the products as well!
Price is very offputting though!
How can any company charge £11 for glass cleaner? 27 quid for QD spray too!
I’m sorry but that leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth once I’ve said it and unfortunately for me has tarnished the brand.
Will not buy unless they drastically reduce their prices!!
Do you ever worry about using a new product on your car and how much of a pain in the arse are those wheels to clean?
To clean properly it's a lot 9f work I tend to just turbo scrub them
Market here in Australia is full of brands...I've used nova and found them ordinary...better out there...
I live in Australia. Which other brands in Australia is more better?
@@r.k862 what works on my car may not be the same for you...but try turtle wax hybrid graphene range or 303 graphene spray...Nova might be great for some but was an ordinary result for me..some say gyeon is good...
@@daffyd5867 I have seen test results of turtle brand and 303, to my conclusion it's no where near as good as the Nova brand. But this is my conclusion after so much of research
@@r.k862 that's the trouble with detailing products....everyone gets different results....and it gets a bit costly...but try Nova, might be great results for your car..
Wow way to expensive.much better out there for less money or the same
Much better? Who? Or what?
Chemical Guys
We need to stop using the term “High End” just because it’s expensive. I’d put money on it, that this brand would be beating in a group test no problem, by the current market leaders. Everything car oriented, from Australia, is out the box for price and it has nothing to do with shipping or import tax.
Just FYI, these are NOT Australian made products. They're made overseas, then imported to Australia, then labelled with the NV brand by an Australian company.
You may be misinformed.
@@nsw72 no. They're made overseas and imported. Ask NV.
@@Disciple11 I probably didn't clarify. The research and formulations are done here.
Example: Just because the iPhone is made in China doesn't make it a Chinese product.
This stuff is simply too expensive
UV protection
How relevant is it really these days. Feels more like an US thing to advertise and promote
Just to expensive
