Thank you Martin for doing such a quick review of our new product, Sigma V2. To answer some questions below the changes verses version 1. - improved slickness - improved durability to upto 9 weeks. This is surface quality dependent. - improved hydrophobics - easier to apply. This is dependent on surface quality and products you are stacking. If its a GT product then it will have synergy within the GT System. We strongly believe in continual product improvement (CPI) and will do so as we build out the GT System. As technology / chemistry moves on so will we. Furthermore we strongly believe that any good product and process needs to be strongly backed up by user experience. It has to be enjoyable and satisfy the senses. All the best, GT
Wasn't much I could advise maz and Rodger to change I got a bottle and couldn't fault it I believe what I had was what we all have now in the bottles I bought a bottle on launch day I love the stuff I'll be getting 5l very soon
Thanks for sharing this product Martin, after seeing the way it goes on, buffs off and the water behaviour I’ll be getting myself some of this for my cars 😀😀 Thanks again Tris
A great video put together ''on the hoof'' as you say.It says a lot when they (GT) have already committed a lot into a previous version, shipped it out onto the shelves and within a limited time bring out a 2nd version, long term and thanks to you and other detailers showing their products these videos will help us weekend warriors make informed choices.
I have put it on a fully decontaminated and polished panel and it went on really well and looks good. I tried using it as a topper to Gyeon Wet coat and found it a bit grippy. I think another GT success and great video Martin.
Another cracking video Martin. I've just started my journey with GT. Got 1ltr of their decon shampoo, next up will be their quick detailer and Sigma. I'm nearly out of my usual quick detailer, can't wait till the end of next month - payday ( or should that be Garage Therapy day) 😂😂😂
Out the blocks like a whippet Martin another great video, even if the guys pulled a surprise on you 👌 I've been one of the lucky ones doing field work on Sigma V2 on customer vehicles over the past few months and I can say that 9 weeks in the winter, easy... longevity is definitely enhanced, alongside gloss depth, colour enrichment and slickness. To me the initial impression was like baby oil and even customer's have also noticed the slickness too! However you're right about it's not a quantum leap but if you get the chance to do a 50/50 with V1 you'll definitely notice the differences. Looking forward to the next generation GT products coming through too 😉
Hello Jon, I have been called many things over the years but whippet is a new one🤣. I just love the way GT are not sitting on their laurels & always seeking to improve their products. It's great to get views from professionals like yourself and very much appreciated 👍
I have a silver grey e46 m3, had her for many many years and once upon a time I used to love cleaning my car, that love has diminished for some reason over past few years and seems more like a chore now for even the little I use her. I tend to I use auto finesse products now but love these videos and often come here for some inspiration, and always open to new products and techniques.
Thats so nice Rab, thank you. To think I give you a little inspiration is just great. Hope you find the videos of some help and get back to making the M3 sparkle again. And after Spurs beat the Gooners 3-0😂
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer You certainly do, it’s great to see someone actually enjoy what they do it is naturally infectious. And I’m a Celtic fan, we just won the league again which as many know is a two horse race, but our biggest rivals have just reached the europa league final which does put a dampener on it slightly 😆
Cheers Anthony, you noticed the empty plate then 🤣. I think the builders in my area have a rota to wind me up. The house over the road had builders since Oct. They left two weeks ago and now there bloody back🤷♂️
Sigma V1 was pure witchcraft... I'm expecting V2 to be pure Wizardry worthy of Dumbledore and Prof McGonagall themselves. like you I loved V1 in fact I used it more than the QD as it layered up so well and so beautifully. looking forward to getting the car fettled before our trip down to Cornwall at the end of May
Great little video Martin, totally agree with you about the addictiveness of buffing sigma, so satisfying to do. I'll definitely be getting V2 when the last bit of V1 is used up. 👍
As you know Martin, long time follower/fan of your videos and this doesn't disappoint at all. Love GT stuff like you... I'm looking forward to the release of their wax. Great video, content and delivery.
cheers mate, I am starting to move away from wax but a GT wax does tempt me. My understanding is they will have it on sale at Waxstock but no idea of the price
Thank you for the video Martin. The gloss reflection on your BMW's bonnet was unreal - like a mirror. Garage Therapy Sigma is a mightily impressive product.
Hi Martin, thanks for the video. I’ve still got plenty of V1 left, so will use that up first. Hopefully someone from GT will post and say what the improvements are over the version 1.

I am not sure how I missed this content but I am glad I caught up. As you know I am more of a wax guy hence my love of M & K products but the GT suite of products were very good and I intend to put them onto my Mum's car as it never gets washed other than the twice yearly when I do the 300 mile round trip for a 6 hour detail. Sigma was an immense product and probably my favourite product so to improve it must have been a challenge. Your car looks really good and the beads look almost perfect. As always quality content from you so Thanks again for a great watch. I hope your follow up order with M & K was a success and you like the products you ordered.
Didn't expect anything else!! I still have nearly a full 500ml of V1 to get through (on top of a sample amount of V2 the guys sent me a few weeks back!) Watching you buff that off makes me want to get back at it tomorrow!!! Hope the workmen didn't leave to much dust in the air 🤣
It was just so smooth Mark. I couldn't believe it when they turned up, all noise and very little to show for it Im sure they just turned up to wind me up🤷♂️
Hi Martin, great review of this GT sigma ver 2, brilliant beading action and easy to apply,for the price different sizes of bottles it's not cheap,if you want the best it's worth it.
Im with you on the products . To keep pushing them on and evolving is commendable , no bullsh*t in re naming them something else and claiming its a new product when its just a variation of something in their line . ( a local brand do this with coloured snow foams ) . Im like you in that I will use a QD afterwards from a wash . Ive litres of EZ , Autobrite and others of ceramic QD's but its always Sigma once a month to top up whats there and knowing its going to work and do it far better than others do
We feel that is the better quality than just making something that beads especially within the GT economy of products. We have products that will give that "insane" beading.
@@GarageTherapyOfficial which of your products are the 'beaders'? Cheers Ps, love all your products i have tried, shampoo, qd, sigma,tyre serum, snow foam and wheel shampoo 👍🏻
@@mrlionrocks Our Ceramic Sealant will give very good beading and sheeting however all of our coatings will give incredible hydrophobic (Chimera, Hades, Cerberus). However Chimera Top Coat as its a polymeric coating will give the best water behavior and it is also incredibly easy to apply inside or outside.
Hi Martin, great video again mate. The only negative I found with this was the amount of time it took to completely remove. I used 2 spritz on the cloth and 2 on the panel, 10 minutes later I was still trying to remove it. Dark streaks and the car eventually when I finished, which was about an hour later looked really bad. So I washed it and started again lol
Hi, Sorry to hear you had some issues. From what you have written we believe a lot of it can be tweaked to give you a better experience. 1. Prime the towel initially but don't add more product for ever panel to the towel as you will over saturate it with product. Use one spray per panel and two for larger panels. Remember the towel will carry the product. Less is more in this case. 2. Use low pile towels, ideally pearl weave towel. 3. Really make sure you work the product in so it is thinly applied and level. You will start to see the product almost flash away. 4. If the panel is warm, work in smaller sections. 5. If you have GT Glass or our QD, then you can use these two remove any smears very quickly. We hope this helps. Thanks, GT
Thanks Martin, v2 looks a winner. I wish GT wouldn’t keep on bringing out such great products - so hard not to keep upgrading before finishing the last bottle. Oh well , I’ll try…
Like you gavin i rate that Auto Glymm Rapid Ceramic Detailer it's my go to at the moment keeping the ceramic shampoo sealer on top of a well known brand of ceramic wax and topped off with Rapid Ceramic Detailer great combo gloss for weeks and beading and sheeting like a champion 👌🤔
Brilliant video again Martin, just hope GT don't bring out a v2 QD as I purchased a 5 litre not long ago, use it alot and always have a bottle in the car
Hi Mike, without doubt GT2QD is my favourite product. Its so adaptable and useful inside and out, a top product. I also have 5lts sitting on the shelf but working my way through it
Excited to see what has improved with V2, I’m like you in that V1 wasn’t a problem applying, I see you applied & buffed with pearl microfibres, they’re so nice for an even application aren’t they?, car looks stunning as ever Martin, great video showing what it’s like 👍
Great video - only just found your channel but enjoying it! Do you use this as a base with the QD over it, or do you have any base product underneath, for spring/summer season?
Hi, welcome to my channel. Check out any of my videos and just drop me a comment if you have any questions and I will always get back to you. So in this video I used Sigma as a stand alone protection but I normally use it as a second coat over either a base sealant or wax. I will then use a good quality QD as my sacrificial layer on every wash for a month or so before either topping Sigma up or replacing it depending on what I fancy using. Hope thats of some help.
Great video Martin , 2+ weeks out of surgery and itching to get the buckets out , although my cars spotless after spending nearly 3 weeks in the garage , gave it a full inside and outside before i went under the knife. Hopefully in about a month to 6 weeks i'll be able to get on light duties and do a bit of car cleaning, just waiting for County to get Sigma V2 in so i can get my order in . All the best :)
Great video Martin,I'm looking at something new to replace autoglym HD wax. Was thinking about getting the new fusso99,but this looks really good and easy to use.
I have used both autoglym HD and Fusso 99 and think the one to replace them is the new Garage Therapy Alpha wax. the say its good for 6 months but topped with GT Sigma then will last the summer with ease and its a nice wax to use, no dust. Check my video on it out
Its always good to see the beads and my Wife keeps telling me to up my medication when I go out after it rains to take pictures of it but give me sheeting every time for performance but the beads get the headlines. Hope you are keeping well Chris
Great video again Martin the version 1 of the sigma is brilliant still got 4 litres left out of 5 litres lol old saying if its not broken don't fix it 🤔 think I'll stick to the version 1 for now mind you I've been using Auto Glymm Rapid Ceramic Detailer along with ceramic shampoo (auto Finesse ) just to clean and top up the new ceramic wax I've been trying similar colour to your motor mine is Atlantic blue both the sigma and ceramic Detailer brings the colour out it pops 👍👌
Hey if it works stick with it. Only change when there is a reason to or you will be like me and spend a fortune and have a shelf full of products that you are never going to finish
I think there could be an argument Martin that if a product is already very good, another version is not required. As you stated it's hard to differentiate between V1 and V2. We will have to see if longevity has improved.
As I keep the car well maintained the longevity doesn't worry me so much but you are right. I hate products that give false claims but so far GT have always given very honest claims
Hi, there are clear benefits from version 1 to 2.we have outlined this in our main comment in the body of the comments. The differences are more apparent during the life cycle of the product. It is much more consistent throughout the 9 weeks.
Something else i have to buy them 😀, there doesn't really seem to need to but any of the other over hyped products at all when you can get those results & 9/10 weeks of protection with such little effort..Car looks amazing 👍🏻 and i have to find a way to use up my Version 1.
I haver an easy way to use up any remaining V1 Alan......... Clean all the neighbours cars🤣. My Wife said "only an idiot would do that" while looking at me🤷♂️
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer 😂She's one smart lady !. i can use some on my wife's car, give mine another coat & donate the rest to my mate. All in a good cause , or just order another bottle now cos that's what we do. 👍🏻
Bought some Sigma V2 even though i haven't used my V1😀, a new IK multi sprayer & some Bilt Hamber Surfex HD ( cos Road Rage isn't available.) Martin have you ever used Surfex HD & do you always flush out your sprayer after use or leave it with bored product ?. I Always flush out my IK Foamer because i always use the product but with APC never know how much to mix . Don't want to leave a mixed solution in it in case it does any damage. Also i have stopped using my MJJC Foam cannon & Belt Hamber Auto Foam. GT Foam in a MTM hydro is a particularly good combination, lovely creamy foam 👍🏻
Just when I'd decided to run down my existing stocks of detailing products! If they say 9 weeks, I reckon, with my low mileage, you are probably talking 3 months. We are at the stage of being able to use this for each season of the year, possibly with a GT Decon shampoo before each application. Like you, though, can't see myself just washing the car in the interim between applications. Great water behaviour as well - as Forensic Detailing might say - great beadage after the buffage!
Depending on how often you wash your car Peter, GT 2QD after each wash will help the Sigma last but top the sigma up every 3rd or 4th wash and your car will sparkle for ages😎
Thanks Martin, I'm always interested in products you can really notice on the paint. Has anybody tried NV Lustre? This looks like exactly that but for a fraction of the price!
Martin, you'll have to trick those workmen. Just put your stuff & camera outside when you don't have real plans to start filming. You'll see that they'll show up in an instant. After that, just wait untill they leave and start doing your thing😂😂
sigma v2 out of stock in most places at present. Have you ever used GT Three Ceramic Sealant? Just wondered how Sigma V2 compares with the ceramic sealant. I’m presuming Ceramic Sealant is more fussy to apply. If it’s not, I’d be tempted to try it ahead of Sigma.
Hi, yep I have used and have a video on GT 3 ceramic sealant, in fact I helped in the product trials. Compared to modern products I personally find it a little too fussy to apply. If you are looking for something that has a reasonable longevity then have you tried soft99 Fusso wax???
I very nearly purchased the soft99 mirror coat after watching one of your videos. But managed (if only temporarily) to stop myself buying another detailing product. Will look forward to watching your new video!
Thanks mate. I really like Beadmaker and also have most of a gallon left on the shelf but Sigma & Bouncers DDSi are both better products in my opinion. Both DDSi & Sigma last a lot longer on the car and both are slicker. The advantage of Beadmaker is that you can use it as a drying aid where as both of the other two need to be kept dry for a couple of hours after application. I think there is a place on the shelf for both Beadmaker & Sigma. You could apply Sigma maybe every forth wash to keep good levels of protection on the car and Beadmaker on every other wash as a sacrificial layer. Hope my rambling make sense
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer thankyou Martin, thats what I was hoping and your thoughts are very most welcome. TBH I 'd not thought about using Sigma and then BM as the sacrificial layer.. great shout. I'll let you know how I get on. Thank you mate, keep up the videos, they are one of the references into the " detailing " venture
Hello Kevin, thanks. No GT2 will compliment Sigma. I would say GT2 is my most used product. I would suggest using Sigma every 3rd or 4th wash and GT2 in-between assuming you wash the car once a week. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment👍
Hi Martin, another great video, thank you. As Sigma contains Si02 can the 'putting on' microfiber cloth be used again on paintwork after cloth has been washed. I was wondering if the Si02 would harden the microfiber and ruin it.
Hi Chris, Our waterbased SIO2 products have siloxanes, polymers and other silicone additives that do not harden like a silozane / quartz based coating would. The advantages of this is they are easy to apply outside and do not ruin your towels. What we recommend generally is to wash the towels after each use. This will cut down on contaminants getting into the fibres and scratching the paint. Also it will prevent the towels from getting hydrophobic.
Hi Chris, great question. I have a set of towels (Rag Co Pearl) that I use for applying products as well as microfibre applicators. I always drop the towel in the remains of my contact wash bucket to soak directly after use. Then when I clear up I rinse them before putting them in the washing machine. I always wash my towels as soon as I finish clearing up. The applicators (£1.99) are almost disposable, although I rinse and wash them I then continue to use them on things like exterior plastic, metal polish or boot cleaning but never again on my paintwork . Hope that is of some use mate
Hello Alan, depending on the condition of any remaining protection on the paint then I have seen 6 weeks but most of us will provide a sacrificial layer of something like GT QD2 after every wash
@@alantaylor2 Just didn't want to set high expectations mate. You know me, I try not to set expectations that then turn out as a stretch. These products all come from our hard earned cash
Glad it’s not changed much because Sigma is a top product isn’t it, really noticeable slickness and gloss, I better stop testing out other things and get back on v.1 and use it up so I can justify getting v.2 soon.
A more polite version than mine but yes an old git like me stands out amount these your lads. Im old enough to be grandad for most. 71 this year but at least I made it🤣
Good morning, I love DDSi. I think it was a real game changer when Bouncers launched it and in my opinion still a top product. However I think Sigma is the next step in gloss, slickness and longevity. So for me, my preference will be Sigma but I still have and use DDSi
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer thanks, it's for my wife's 2nd hand car which has never had protection by the looks of it. And I'm thinking whichever product I go with no I'll carry on using. To throw a spanner in the works I also have a litre of gtechniq c2v3 🤣

Thank you Martin for doing such a quick review of our new product, Sigma V2.
To answer some questions below the changes verses version 1.
- improved slickness
- improved durability to upto 9 weeks. This is surface quality dependent.
- improved hydrophobics
- easier to apply. This is dependent on surface quality and products you are stacking. If its a GT product then it will have synergy within the GT System.
We strongly believe in continual product improvement (CPI) and will do so as we build out the GT System. As technology / chemistry moves on so will we. Furthermore we strongly believe that any good product and process needs to be strongly backed up by user experience. It has to be enjoyable and satisfy the senses.
All the best,
GT

Like you gavin i rate that Auto Glymm Rapid Ceramic Detailer it's my go to at the moment keeping the ceramic shampoo sealer on top of a well known brand of ceramic wax and topped off with Rapid Ceramic Detailer great combo gloss for weeks and beading and sheeting like a champion 👌🤔
Hopefully you’ll get hold of Sigma v3 that’s on the GT website today. Would be good to hear what you think!
I didn't know they had released a ver 3
Version 2 had been out of stock everywhere for a good few weeks, so had a suspicion there could be a version 3 on the way!
Brilliant video again Martin, just hope GT don't bring out a v2 QD as I purchased a 5 litre not long ago, use it alot and always have a bottle in the car
Hi Mike, without doubt GT2QD is my favourite product. Its so adaptable and useful inside and out, a top product. I also have 5lts sitting on the shelf but working my way through it
Excited to see what has improved with V2, I’m like you in that V1 wasn’t a problem applying, I see you applied & buffed with pearl microfibres, they’re so nice for an even application aren’t they?, car looks stunning as ever Martin, great video showing what it’s like 👍
Thanks Graeme, very observant of you. Peal is my go to cloth for applying products
Great video - only just found your channel but enjoying it! Do you use this as a base with the QD over it, or do you have any base product underneath, for spring/summer season?
Hi, welcome to my channel. Check out any of my videos and just drop me a comment if you have any questions and I will always get back to you. So in this video I used Sigma as a stand alone protection but I normally use it as a second coat over either a base sealant or wax. I will then use a good quality QD as my sacrificial layer on every wash for a month or so before either topping Sigma up or replacing it depending on what I fancy using. Hope thats of some help.
Great video Martin , 2+ weeks out of surgery and itching to get the buckets out , although my cars spotless after spending nearly 3 weeks in the garage , gave it a full inside and outside before i went under the knife. Hopefully in about a month to 6 weeks i'll be able to get on light duties and do a bit of car cleaning, just waiting for County to get Sigma V2 in so i can get my order in . All the best :)
Cheers mate , I hope your recovery goes well. thanks for your ongoing support👍
All the best with your recovery.
Great video Martin,I'm looking at something new to replace autoglym HD wax. Was thinking about getting the new fusso99,but this looks really good and easy to use.
I have used both autoglym HD and Fusso 99 and think the one to replace them is the new Garage Therapy Alpha wax. the say its good for 6 months but topped with GT Sigma then will last the summer with ease and its a nice wax to use, no dust. Check my video on it out
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer I'll check you're review out,but I think I'll go with sigma Martin.
Don’t keep buffing Martin you will go blind stupid levels of warm gloss and looking super easy application the GT boys have done it again 👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
I do wear glasses Paul so maybe thats been my problem🤣As for the product, GT just do it every time. Total faith in the guys👍
V1 wasn’t the ultimate in water behaviour although still very good. V2 does look to be a little better. That beading looked 👍
Its always good to see the beads and my Wife keeps telling me to up my medication when I go out after it rains to take pictures of it but give me sheeting every time for performance but the beads get the headlines. Hope you are keeping well Chris
Hi Chris, version 2 has stronger water beading for sure.
Just bought a litre of v1 🙄 Look forward to trying this. Nice vid as always
You will love it Mark its a really top product just give it time to flash off and don't buff it to soon mate
Looks great as always Martin! GT make some top shelf products!
That they do mate👍
Great video again Martin the version 1 of the sigma is brilliant still got 4 litres left out of 5 litres lol old saying if its not broken don't fix it 🤔 think I'll stick to the version 1 for now mind you I've been using Auto Glymm Rapid Ceramic Detailer along with ceramic shampoo (auto Finesse ) just to clean and top up the new ceramic wax I've been trying similar colour to your motor mine is Atlantic blue both the sigma and ceramic Detailer brings the colour out it pops 👍👌
Hey if it works stick with it. Only change when there is a reason to or you will be like me and spend a fortune and have a shelf full of products that you are never going to finish
Another great honest review
Thanks Stuart
I think there could be an argument Martin that if a product is already very good, another version is not required. As you stated it's hard to differentiate between V1 and V2. We will have to see if longevity has improved.
As I keep the car well maintained the longevity doesn't worry me so much but you are right. I hate products that give false claims but so far GT have always given very honest claims
Hi, there are clear benefits from version 1 to 2.we have outlined this in our main comment in the body of the comments. The differences are more apparent during the life cycle of the product. It is much more consistent throughout the 9 weeks.
Looked like you were getting a little passionate with your wing at one point there Martin 😂 does look impressive though 👍
Ive told you before Ricky, I love my car😍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer 😜
Something else i have to buy them 😀, there doesn't really seem to need to but any of the other over hyped products at all when you can get those results & 9/10 weeks of protection with such little effort..Car looks amazing 👍🏻 and i have to find a way to use up my Version 1.
I haver an easy way to use up any remaining V1 Alan......... Clean all the neighbours cars🤣. My Wife said "only an idiot would do that" while looking at me🤷♂️
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer 😂She's one smart lady !. i can use some on my wife's car, give mine another coat & donate the rest to my mate. All in a good cause , or just order another bottle now cos that's what we do. 👍🏻
@@alantaylor2 only detailers give products away so they can buy some more🤣🤣
So it seems 🤔🤣
Bought some Sigma V2 even though i haven't used my V1😀, a new IK multi sprayer & some Bilt Hamber Surfex HD ( cos Road Rage isn't available.) Martin have you ever used Surfex HD & do you always flush out your sprayer after use or leave it with bored product ?. I Always flush out my IK Foamer because i always use the product but with APC never know how much to mix . Don't want to leave a mixed solution in it in case it does any damage. Also i have stopped using my MJJC Foam cannon & Belt Hamber Auto Foam. GT Foam in a MTM hydro is a particularly good combination, lovely creamy foam 👍🏻
Just when I'd decided to run down my existing stocks of detailing products! If they say 9 weeks, I reckon, with my low mileage, you are probably talking 3 months. We are at the stage of being able to use this for each season of the year, possibly with a GT Decon shampoo before each application. Like you, though, can't see myself just washing the car in the interim between applications. Great water behaviour as well - as Forensic Detailing might say - great beadage after the buffage!
Depending on how often you wash your car Peter, GT 2QD after each wash will help the Sigma last but top the sigma up every 3rd or 4th wash and your car will sparkle for ages😎
Great video.. I have the version 1 and it's a great product, but looking forward to trying this one.. what towels did you use?
Hello Matthew, I used a Rag Co Pearl towel to apply & a Garage Therapy Pearl Weave towel to buff. hope that helps
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer thank you Martin, that's great and keep up the amazing work..
@@matthewrauch1321 cheers mate, appreciate it👍
Thanks Martin, I'm always interested in products you can really notice on the paint.
Has anybody tried NV Lustre? This looks like exactly that but for a fraction of the price!
Sorry Andrew never tried it mate
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Sure, well it is many times dearer!
@@andrewvickers4487 Have you tried Soft99 Fukupika ? I have a video on it
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer I'll check it out :)
Great video m8 love the product you must try meguiars fast finish has I mentioned to you before it's amazing
Hi Jason, yep you're right, I need to try it👍
Martin, you'll have to trick those workmen. Just put your stuff & camera outside when you don't have real plans to start filming. You'll see that they'll show up in an instant. After that, just wait untill they leave and start doing your thing😂😂
A man with a plan, like it👍
sigma v2 out of stock in most places at present. Have you ever used GT Three Ceramic Sealant? Just wondered how Sigma V2 compares with the ceramic sealant. I’m presuming Ceramic Sealant is more fussy to apply. If it’s not, I’d be tempted to try it ahead of Sigma.
Hi, yep I have used and have a video on GT 3 ceramic sealant, in fact I helped in the product trials. Compared to modern products I personally find it a little too fussy to apply. If you are looking for something that has a reasonable longevity then have you tried soft99 Fusso wax???
Thanks for that. I’ve got an un-opened tub of Fusso coat (along with Fukupika and luxury gloss) on the garage shelf. Will give them a go next. Cheers.
@@michaelrimell6217 I have a video out tonight with another soft99 wax but Fusso is difficult to beat
I very nearly purchased the soft99 mirror coat after watching one of your videos. But managed (if only temporarily) to stop myself buying another detailing product. Will look forward to watching your new video!
@@michaelrimell6217 knowing what you already have on the shelf, I suggest you keep your wallet closed 👍👍
The way you were stroking that wing, thought things were gonna get a bit X rated 😂
Well I do love the car Freddie😍
Great video Martin, I’m currently using up what’s left of my gallon of P&S Beadmaker.. would you say this is most definitely on
par / even better ?
Thanks mate. I really like Beadmaker and also have most of a gallon left on the shelf but Sigma & Bouncers DDSi are both better products in my opinion. Both DDSi & Sigma last a lot longer on the car and both are slicker. The advantage of Beadmaker is that you can use it as a drying aid where as both of the other two need to be kept dry for a couple of hours after application. I think there is a place on the shelf for both Beadmaker & Sigma. You could apply Sigma maybe every forth wash to keep good levels of protection on the car and Beadmaker on every other wash as a sacrificial layer. Hope my rambling make sense
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer thankyou Martin, thats what I was hoping and your thoughts are very most welcome.
TBH I 'd not thought about using Sigma and then BM as the sacrificial layer.. great shout. I'll let you know how I get on.
Thank you mate, keep up the videos, they are one of the references into the " detailing " venture
Car looks amazing Martin 👍
Does the GT qd mask the hydrophobics of Sigma? Just received Sigma V2 and can't wait to try it 😎👍
Hello Kevin, thanks. No GT2 will compliment Sigma. I would say GT2 is my most used product. I would suggest using Sigma every 3rd or 4th wash and GT2 in-between assuming you wash the car once a week. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment👍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer thanks Martin 👍
Great review 👍
cheers Jon👍
Hi Martin, another great video, thank you. As Sigma contains Si02 can the 'putting on' microfiber cloth be used again on paintwork after cloth has been washed. I was wondering if the Si02 would harden the microfiber and ruin it.
Hi Chris,
Our waterbased SIO2 products have siloxanes, polymers and other silicone additives that do not harden like a silozane / quartz based coating would. The advantages of this is they are easy to apply outside and do not ruin your towels. What we recommend generally is to wash the towels after each use. This will cut down on contaminants getting into the fibres and scratching the paint. Also it will prevent the towels from getting hydrophobic.
Hi Chris, great question. I have a set of towels (Rag Co Pearl) that I use for applying products as well as microfibre applicators. I always drop the towel in the remains of my contact wash bucket to soak directly after use. Then when I clear up I rinse them before putting them in the washing machine. I always wash my towels as soon as I finish clearing up. The applicators (£1.99) are almost disposable, although I rinse and wash them I then continue to use them on things like exterior plastic, metal polish or boot cleaning but never again on my paintwork . Hope that is of some use mate
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Thanks for the reply Martin, I soak my towels in apc before washing so from what you've said I'll be ok to reuse the towels.
@@GarageTherapyOfficial Thank you for your informative reply.
@@chriswebster3197 Just keep an eye on them mate and don't take any chances when you notice they dont accept water as well.
How long did it last Martin, i used my V2 the other day & it was soo easy to apply & the paintwork looks beautiful.
Hello Alan, depending on the condition of any remaining protection on the paint then I have seen 6 weeks but most of us will provide a sacrificial layer of something like GT QD2 after every wash
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Thanks Martin, with GT stating 9-10 weeks though, I would have expected at least that.
@@alantaylor2 Just didn't want to set high expectations mate. You know me, I try not to set expectations that then turn out as a stretch. These products all come from our hard earned cash
Around the same price as One And Done and Dream Maker. All these fantastic products are making my head hurt 🤣
I know John, sometimes you just need to write them down and stick a pin in it & go with the flow mate
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer that’s what I’ve been trying to do Martin, then something else comes out that gets my interest 😄
@@johnp6987 just give in John and accept that all your spare money will either go on car products or a woman🤷♂
Glad it’s not changed much because Sigma is a top product isn’t it, really noticeable slickness and gloss, I better stop testing out other things and get back on v.1 and use it up so I can justify getting v.2 soon.
With all the stuff you test Nick Im surprised you can find it stuck away in your stores. You will be adding an extension soon to house them all🤣
POETS day, push off early tomorrow’s Saturday, haven’t heard that for decades, we’re showing our age now in this young world of detailing 😳
A more polite version than mine but yes an old git like me stands out amount these your lads. Im old enough to be grandad for most. 71 this year but at least I made it🤣
How would you compare this to bouncers done and dusted s.i? I have 5 litres of s.i to use up but contemplating getting sigma v2 instead.
Good morning, I love DDSi. I think it was a real game changer when Bouncers launched it and in my opinion still a top product. However I think Sigma is the next step in gloss, slickness and longevity. So for me, my preference will be Sigma but I still have and use DDSi
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer thanks, it's for my wife's 2nd hand car which has never had protection by the looks of it. And I'm thinking whichever product I go with no I'll carry on using. To throw a spanner in the works I also have a litre of gtechniq c2v3 🤣
