I have been using it since version 1. I never had any issues with the first version, but I also use it as a drying aid on my ceramic coated truck. I love the new version though! Use it on my bass boat and it really helps keep the scum off and makes it way easier to wipe off. My favorite thing has always been the insane gloss I got with it on my Truck. My favorite thing is it's ease of use. I spray it directly on the panel and spread it with a damp microfiber then buff to a shine with a second clean dry mf. Just my experience! Thanks for showcasing it!
I thoroughly enjoy The Last Coat 2.0. I tried the first version, and the it was okay, but the longevity wasn't there. I sent it back for a full refund and the company told me they had a new formula in the works. The new stuff impressed me with the gloss and slickness. Thanks for taking the time to do this! I know myself and several others as I've seen in your comments have requested this. I also appreciate including the heat test. It can simulate or brutal Texas heat.
Keep it up guys, never stop trying to be the best you can. You're already better than the other social media scams by a land slide just because you actually listened and made a better product. Never stop improving.
@@TheLastCoat you guys have a terrific product on your hands.. if price gets into that 25$ sweet spot retail I think you would do very well. Its my go to
I remember watching a version one review on another big hitter's channel.. It was a sponsored video and he told us it was fantastic. He even had a promo code we could use to separate our cash in the direction of him. I won't say whooooo it was but after that I lost any belief in him. .That's why you, Brian, are rated and appreciated so much. Your honesty and knowledge is second to none.
The Last Coat had no idea I was reviewing it....a viewer sent it over. Yeah....the first version did not make it into my line up. This is MUCH improved.👍👍
Thanks Brian, Been using TLC2 for about 4 months now on a few cars, I’ll be buying more in the future. Reason why I enjoy this product is the ease of use during the application, the gloss and slickness I find is better then TW S&S ... only downside is the cost , if you can pick it up on sale or with a coupon code then go for it, don’t pay full retail ! Cheers,
See it's guys like you that help make better products for us all. Your complete unbiased reviews make sure that suppliers pay attention to the customer base and make better products! Thank you for all that you do!
I just received this product yesterday and applied it this morning. It was very easy. I purchased some of the microfiber cloths as well. I dampened the towel with some of the product and a very sparing mist over a section of the car at a time. I did it in my garage and the temp was pretty cool (maybe 45 degrees). I don't think doing this outside in a warm Sun is a good idea. It really didn't take more than 20 minutes to complete the entire car. My car, although it is used (2019 Stinger RED) it looks amazing. I did the windows as well. I am glad I got it.
I recently bought a brand new 2020 Mercedes GLE 450 SUV. Red. I went to car wash yesterday and went home to put the Last Coat on. It made car look like day I picked it up. My biggest praise is the fact that it seems so slick it is repelling dust. Within a few hours, i would typically get a lot of dust on my car. This has not. So, I am quite happy with this product.
I’ve applied TLC (updated version) a couple of times (I detail my Land Cruiser every two weeks and apply “protection” each time. TLC is easy to use in shade or sun, but don’t let it dry before buffing or it takes some effort to remove. Otherwise, great product.
I was always curious as to all of these type of products shown on social media. Thanks for evaluating Top Coat 2. I value your opinion on car care products and I feel comfortable knowing that these are not "sponsored" ads. Thanks!
It looked like the heat gun didn’t effect it as well. No room on my shelf for it ,but like you it’s nice to see a company discover a flaw in their product and address it.
I've purchased a few TLC products so far and I like all of them. The soap is great. I started with TLC 1 and I really liked it. TLC 2 was even better except for the longer time before you could get it wet. I love TLC 2 on my wife's Pearl White Santa Fe. The car is basically waterproof. However, while it was nice on my 17 Black Silverado (10k miles at the time with 90% perfect paint) I didn't like the water beading and etching. While it gave a mirror shine, the paint looked "cold" to me. I like a warmer look of wax but that is my taste. Many people love TLC2 and I'll buy it again for my uses when I need it for sure. I haven't seen this covered anywhere but I LOVE TLC 1 used on my tri-fold bed cover for my Silverado. It seems the older version is much nicer for that and also for interior surfaces. I love that either TLC version is awesome on glass, chrome and bumpers. On wheels it looks nice but it didn't last too long on the wheels which I assume is due from the heat. The only thing I can't get it to do anything on are the sidewalls of the tires but it's not made for that. Their Amp diluted is a game changing glass cleaner too. Thanks for the review. TLC is awesome in my book.
What is the shelf life on these once opened? if it only takes 2 or 3 oz per car per coat and this lasts 6 months. I will have a lot of left over that could last 2 or 3 years.
I used Ver 1 of TLC it did not last more than a few weeks. I should have sent it back! (And Im a prep fanatic) Just did 2) daily drivers with TW hybrid ceramic. Waaaay better application and removal than TLC ver 1. No blotches or streaks to fight during removal. Honestly the best spray sealant Ive used to date at 1/2 the price of the others. Even based on your test of TLC ver 2 I still have to lean toward TW. Glad to see TLC improved ver 2! Ive discarded my ver 1 left over product... Thx Brian Ive this is the exact test I wanted to see!
I have it and use it.. I think it is expensive..BUT it is very easy to apply(much easier than S&S) I have both and find myself reaching for TLC2. Durability is pretty comparable to S&S which is terrific. The shine and slickness are terrific and one thing I noticed being the OCD car detail person I am.. is that TLC2 seemed to have a better self cleaning effect on my wifes Denali. It stayed cleaner for much longer compared anything else I have. All that said .. is it worth being 3x more expensive.. not sure.
Same experience and comparison here. I have both on the hood of my wife's daily driver. TLC2 has wayyy better self cleaning properties and has retained its slickness longer than SS. This ride is driven and parked outside daily in TX heat, and I wash weekly. I still us SS around the house and on other cars I may wash.
@@soapa4279 you are probrably right. Truth is I have several bottles of S&S.. but like I said.. I always reach for TLC2.. if I was in my younger broke years Im going for that Seal and Shine..but nowadays ease of use is worth some of that cost. I wish TLC2 was like 25 bucks or so. The self cleaning effect is pretty substantial and noticeable..
What types of products can be used on top of this ? Could something like Adam’s graphene detail spray safely go on top if used as a drying aid during maintenance washes ? Also , would your applicator pad or towel need to be thrown out after this product is used on it ? Thank you
I know most of your youtube work is on finish products but I would like to know what you do with engine compartments and specifically the calcification that can occur on aluminum engine components maybe in your next mail call or a whole video on engine compartment detailing. Thanks
Great video Brian. I gotta admit 34.99 is a little steep when turtle wax hybrid spray coat is great and costs about 15 bucks every day. I can't deny the last coat performed very well. It's great to know they listened to feedback.
Great product. Swapped from Ducora F11. TLC is cheaper and really good. Before I tried Bead Maker.......TLC last looooooonger, easy to apply. Worth the money. Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
They have so many products out that are complete garbage. I know what you mean when you say money grab 😡I really appreciate the products you review and it saves us time and money. I always learn something from your videos.✊💎
Thank you for the video. Great review. I just ordered a bottle because of an advertisement on youtube, but I did my research before I bought it. I like what I see. I use a synthetic wax right now with carnauba wax on top. Do you know if I can put wax on top of the last coat?
So TLC2 get glossier as it cures? I'm interested in seeing the gloss measurement after application and after curing. Can you perform a test and post the results?
Thank you Brian, I will have to try it out. I'm just waiting on the " Last Coat Soap " that I ordered. Eventually later ($), I will try this one product... 😇
How do you get all these test panels? Also how often do you go through them? How many times can you polish them before they burn through? Thanks Brian!
I've been using Sonax BSD wich is awesome in terms of beading and sheeting, Longlivity is ok but offers no extra protection. So for now i' m testing out TLC since August. Time will tell if TLC2 is gonna replace Sonax BSD. What is the best way to apply TLC2 ? Microfiber, MF pad or soft foam pad ?
Greatly appreciated!! Pan advised me this one, it also won his 2019 best product in Si02 spray sealants catagory. I like the product, I also think it does what it says it would do. What would be your top 5 in this catagory?? Thanks again Brian for the extensive test!
I was given a used bottle of this 2nd version. I put it on my wife's white Outback. I let it cure for 24 hrs, drove a short distance after and let it sit in the garage. In my opinion the slickness disappears rather quickly? I did buy a bottle of their Amp detailing spray and when used it brings everything back. During a recent rain storm the water slid right off and no water spots. After washing with TW Ice Snow foam and using the Amp, the gloss and sickness returned. I think it's OK but for the price there are equals for a far better price. Just my two cents.....
I don't have this issue. I drive in Texas heat and dust and it still feels slick (even with a light dust). If it's heavily dusted or has road grime, I give it a wash and the slickness is back.
@@andygold Yes. I use TW S&S on my 2019 Ram and love it. I use the TLC Amp or Eagle 1 wipe & shine as my quick detailer. Gloss, durability has been perfect since I 1st applied it late September.
@@TheAverageJoeX I live in Az so it should be pretty similar? I have no idea whats causing my issue? Prior to using TLC2 I had used Meguiars Ultimate Paste Wax that was 1st applied in February of this year (8 months ago). I prepped the car before applying and let it cure? A bad batch or maybe thats why I was given the product to try? Could be I didn't do something or did something wrong?
@@dj9151 TLC states that Amp will only last until the next wash. As for the TLCV2 losing slickness after a wash, maybe it's the Ice snow foam leaving behind something. That's why I stopped using the Chemical Guys Mr. pink with it's gloss enhancers (it's a great soap otherwise). Now I use TLC soap, CarPro Reset, or ONR depending on what type of wash I'm doing. Oh. I don't use carnuba waxes anymore. The heat here kills those quick.
Would you be able to retest Hydrosilex? I have not seen a comparison to that yet and really I think it is the only product similar in terms of gloss and durability
@@apexdetail85 I haven't seen any tests on your level with it yet. I'm torn between TLC2 and Hydrosilex and I'd love to see gloss and durability compared!
DETAILING SPRAY LONGEVITY TEST - SETUP & APPLICATION (TOPCOAT F11 - SHINE ARMOR - THE LAST COAT (Original) - THE LAST COAT 2 (TLC2) - THE LAST COAT ("BLACK ICE") - BEAD MAKER) : th-cam.com/video/fLsN4efnoKQ/w-d-xo.html
I got sucked into the 1st generation stuff. 3 bottles with leaky nozzles and a gallon for $300.00. For me in CA. I need to reapply monthly. Basically I feel ripped off. I don’t think the 2nd can bring me back again. I called them about the leaky nozzles and they said they all leak but would send me out 3 when they get good nozzles. They never did. Friendly people but not impressed at all and waaaay over priced. The 2nd generation you can get from Turtle Wax for way cheaper and probably better. As always Brian you are the best on TH-cam.
I saw a 303 sealant, which is applied wet. Any experience with it? Could you do a test? I have used there other products and have been happy with them. Thanks.
As always great video and review loved the small jab at those products that are way overpriced and don’t perform like many other products at a less expensive cost.
Will you have a list of all the products you have tested with results at some point? It's getting harder and harder to make a decision on what product to buy. Generally the more expensive the better the result and then I tried Seal & Shine!
Thanks Brian ,you did not mention the names of those products that went beyond 6 applications !? and the Gloss factor Please ,as i have yet to see anything Better ! Thx Again for the Great Job !
Version 2 is very good. Easy on/off, slick, nice shine, and it lasts. AMP, in my opinion, it's actually the better of the 2 products from this company.
Hey Brian, so I agree 100%. The first formula was trash and I felt cheated because the bottles would leak and it didn't last past 2 weeks, I was recommended them by Pan, not going to get into that. Then I told them about my problems with the two bottles I bought and they were cool enough to send me two new bottles of the new formula for free and told me to keep the old ones. Despite being very cool and very helpful, I thought it was very unprofessional how they went to other TH-cam channels who made videos not liking the product and pushed very hard and kind of fought back against their judgement and were telling them they were wrong about the product, in my opinion very unprofessional and childish. This basically happened with Jimbo's video on their first version. I remember the drama from that.
Just so you know, Jimbo tested TLC2 and pinned TLC's comment in that video to set the record straight that they never threatened him or forced the video down (th-cam.com/video/NQ2mXKr8Wg0/w-d-xo.html). In fact, in Jimbo's recent ADP video he says that he now carries TLC2 in his truck to use on customer's cars (th-cam.com/video/jfwjH9-GJSo/w-d-xo.html).
Top coat is a better version 2. But for half the price! Turtle wax Ceramic is better and cheaper. Thanks for the update! As always thanks for your great videos! [ I like to use the thick Gray poupon as a compound on any Bentley or Rolls! Then polish with the thinner grey poupon. And use a nice slice of ham as a coating? ]YUK PLEW! Just Kidding!
You could absolutely use this without preparing the surface (fallout remover, clay bar, polish etc), however this, and most other SiO2 based products need a clean base to attach to molecularly. If you don't have a fully clayed and prepared surface you can still apply TLC v2 and it will still do everything you saw in the video, apart from the durability which will not be 6 months. For me, I already have a ceramic coating on my car and I used TLC v2 as a topper, and it looks amazing and is working very well repelling both rain and road grime.
@@apexdetail85 u r the best.....u r always giving back and it is so highly appreciated/respected - thank you so it gets out one or two sundays a month???? 100mi/mo probably 175/mo as I am sure it has never seen snow or brine.
I can buy 1 gal. of BeadMaker (8 bottles) for the same price as 1 bottle of TLC. I know the Beadmaker has a shorter lifetime than TLC, but I use it every month so it doesn't matter much. You really hurt me on your comments on Torque Detail. My 11-month old RAV-4 still looks like new, with good gloss while using Torque Detail. Of course, I use it often. Maybe it doesn't stand up to your torture tests, but it works well in North Texas. It's just the price...
I’ve used both TW SnS and TLC2. IMO, TW SnS is far superior in durability and beading. Shine and gloss of both is about equal. TW SnS wins hands down since it’s 1/4 the price.
Those that have purchased this product...and use it ....please share your experience for us please!
I have been using it since version 1. I never had any issues with the first version, but I also use it as a drying aid on my ceramic coated truck. I love the new version though!

Also for some real craziness, try a base layer of seal-n-shine with TLC as the topper! You will be pretty surprised I think!
I thoroughly enjoy The Last Coat 2.0. I tried the first version, and the it was okay, but the longevity wasn't there. I sent it back for a full refund and the company told me they had a new formula in the works. The new stuff impressed me with the gloss and slickness.

Exactly better coverage. One of many Brian's helpful hints :)
How does someone know if they are buying the "2nd version" of this product?
When Apex Detail recommends a product, you know it's a solid choice.
It looked like the heat gun didn’t effect it as well. No room on my shelf for it ,but like you it’s nice to see a company discover a flaw in their product and address it.

Where exactly do I buy this?
I cannot even find it on Amazon
I happen to like the version 2.0 and their Detox Soap. Leaves decent protection and gloss and makes the surface silky smooth.
I use their soap too. It leaves just enough behind to add some protection to and under my damned roof rack (pain in my rear end when washing/drying).

I would love to see longevity tests.. My reload isn't lasting more than 2 months in Texas heat.
Can I use this for leather maintenance?
So what light polishes would you recommend using before applying TLC?
For a new vehicle purchased a few weeks ago (black in color) would you recommend this or Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Acrylic Black Wax?

U like it compared to carpros reload? That's what I'm currently using
Okay I put this product on and it rains like nothing the next day and I went out and it look like I was in a contraction site after the next day smdh
Would you be able to retest Hydrosilex? I have not seen a comparison to that yet and really I think it is the only product similar in terms of gloss and durability
It has been quite a while since that was testes...I will look into it.
@@apexdetail85 I haven't seen any tests on your level with it yet. I'm torn between TLC2 and Hydrosilex and I'd love to see gloss and durability compared!
Is that the Grey Poupon guy in the background wiping down his car?
Chuckles.
It's a Bentley not a rolls Royce but I kind of get the joke here
@@klasseact6663 It's in reference to Brian's last video. Thought maybe the Gray Poupon guy stuck around after the Rolls-Royce left
HAHAHAHAHA.....YES!!
How do know you. Are getting version 2 buy bottle by description when ordering on line?
Robert, If it says or you can find out if it is the clear version, then you know you have version 2.
DETAILING SPRAY LONGEVITY TEST - SETUP & APPLICATION (TOPCOAT F11 - SHINE ARMOR - THE LAST COAT (Original) - THE LAST COAT 2 (TLC2) - THE LAST COAT ("BLACK ICE") - BEAD MAKER) : th-cam.com/video/fLsN4efnoKQ/w-d-xo.html
Do you rate as " must have"?
Another fantastic showcase!👍
I got sucked into the 1st generation stuff. 3 bottles with leaky nozzles and a gallon for $300.00.
For me in CA. I need to reapply monthly. Basically I feel ripped off. I don’t think the 2nd can bring me back again.
I called them about the leaky nozzles and they said they all leak but would send me out 3 when they get good nozzles.
They never did. Friendly people but not impressed at all and waaaay over priced. The 2nd generation you can get from Turtle Wax for way cheaper and probably better. As always Brian you are the best on TH-cam.
I saw a 303 sealant, which is applied wet. Any experience with it? Could you do a test? I have used there other products and have been happy with them. Thanks.

@@apexdetail85 Thank you. I usually watch all your posts, so I don't know how I missed this. Keep up your great informative posts.
I prefer to purchase products produced by passionate detailers and/or companies with a standing record of excellence.
Thanks, Brian. How is the beading compared to TW Ceramic Spray?
Better in my opinion. It really just comes down to cost.
Way better
Could you make a video or send me a message on the best bulk towels to buff off wax’s/ceramic and drying paint
I get mine from here...www.ardexautomotiveandmarine.com/products/microfiber-towel
As always great video and review loved the small jab at those products that are way overpriced and don’t perform like many other products at a less expensive cost.
Will you have a list of all the products you have tested with results at some point? It's getting harder and harder to make a decision on what product to buy. Generally the more expensive the better the result and then I tried Seal & Shine!
I am working on it.👍
Love your videos !! , honest is key !!! So many nano ceramics these days !!
You prefer reload or last coat merci
I wanted to know too
Thanks Brian ,you did not mention the names of those products that went beyond 6 applications !? and the Gloss factor Please ,as i have yet to see anything Better ! Thx Again for the Great Job !
They were concentrated coatings and graphene.
@@apexdetail85 Laymans terms Please !
So we used it after you finishing washing the car?
Yes
Peeping is clay bar, polishing? Then iso??
Wash, Clay Decon, Polish, IPA.
@@apexdetail85 what IPA do you use? and that must be used even after a clean microfiber buffing the wax?off before the ceramic spray is applied?
Brian, how would you compare The Last Coat verses Turtle Wax Ice Seal and Shine and Polish Angel Cosmic Spritz.
This has a little higher gloss than SNS. Cosmic Spritz beats them all.
Car looks amazing.
Version 2 is very good. Easy on/off, slick, nice shine, and it lasts. AMP, in my opinion, it's actually the better of the 2 products from this company.
Hey Brian, so I agree 100%. The first formula was trash and I felt cheated because the bottles would leak and it didn't last past 2 weeks, I was recommended them by Pan, not going to get into that. Then I told them about my problems with the two bottles I bought and they were cool enough to send me two new bottles of the new formula for free and told me to keep the old ones.
Despite being very cool and very helpful, I thought it was very unprofessional how they went to other TH-cam channels who made videos not liking the product and pushed very hard and kind of fought back against their judgement and were telling them they were wrong about the product, in my opinion very unprofessional and childish. This basically happened with Jimbo's video on their first version. I remember the drama from that.
Just so you know, Jimbo tested TLC2 and pinned TLC's comment in that video to set the record straight that they never threatened him or forced the video down (th-cam.com/video/NQ2mXKr8Wg0/w-d-xo.html). In fact, in Jimbo's recent ADP video he says that he now carries TLC2 in his truck to use on customer's cars (th-cam.com/video/jfwjH9-GJSo/w-d-xo.html).
I have some of the first version. i use it on plastics and the wheel. Not on the paint!
Can you do a torture test of The Last Coat 'Black' pls. :)
Who makes the last coat? And where can you get it?
Made by "The Last Coat", here's their web site: thelastcoat.com/
Can't order till the temps. Aren't going to freeze
Would like to see TLC in a battle against Hydrosilex and TW Hybrid Ceramic Spray.
Afraid they will send me the old stuff......like seal and shine........
Btw love that era B machine👍👍
I was waiting for your opinion on this one...now I can watch.👍😊
If its good enough for a Bentley its probably good enough for my 1990 accord sedan in cappuccino brown metallic.
Top coat is a better version 2. But for half the price! Turtle wax Ceramic is better and cheaper. Thanks for the update! As always thanks for your great videos! [ I like to use the thick Gray poupon as a compound on any Bentley or Rolls! Then polish with the thinner grey poupon. And use a nice slice of ham as a coating? ]YUK PLEW! Just Kidding!
You saw blotchiness on the test hood 🙁 Didn't you wonder how the Bentley turned out under daylight?
Great video as always and nice outro work, the voice works well.
can you try proje product
So what year was the bently.?
2001
Could I still use this without claying the surface?
Nelson Arroyo he stress to prep the surface...so yes clay
You could absolutely use this without preparing the surface (fallout remover, clay bar, polish etc), however this, and most other SiO2 based products need a clean base to attach to molecularly.
If you don't have a fully clayed and prepared surface you can still apply TLC v2 and it will still do everything you saw in the video, apart from the durability which will not be 6 months.
For me, I already have a ceramic coating on my car and I used TLC v2 as a topper, and it looks amazing and is working very well repelling both rain and road grime.
Nice👍🏼 suprising 🤓
hey brian…..2001.....haven't seen anyone ask but how many miles?????? and no marine corp logo??????? lol
Only 20k...no😂 No marine logo. I take care of my veterans....discounts year round!🙂
@@apexdetail85 u r the best.....u r always giving back and it is so highly appreciated/respected - thank you so it gets out one or two sundays a month???? 100mi/mo probably 175/mo as I am sure it has never seen snow or brine.
1st! Heck yeah. I liked before i even watched it. I mean it is apex detail after all!
Probably a great product, but probably no better than some much lower priced products
too expensive thou $40 for a bottle
This better then turtle wax ceramic spray
I can buy 1 gal. of BeadMaker (8 bottles) for the same price as 1 bottle of TLC. I know the Beadmaker has a shorter lifetime than TLC, but I use it every month so it doesn't matter much.
You really hurt me on your comments on Torque Detail. My 11-month old RAV-4 still looks like new, with good gloss while using Torque Detail. Of course, I use it often. Maybe it doesn't stand up to your torture tests, but it works well in North Texas. It's just the price...
Yeah but Beadmaker turns any vehicle into a giant dust magnet.
@@JTBlair-nw6gb that is a fact
No way I’ll pay $39 for that when there are a lot of cheaper and just as good or better products out their.
I’ve used both TW SnS and TLC2. IMO, TW SnS is far superior in durability and beading. Shine and gloss of both is about equal. TW SnS wins hands down since it’s 1/4 the price.
