Thanks for watching Jamie, glad you liked the review. Xtreme has had some very interesting products and the Exoforma is pretty impressive on durability for sure. Glad to see you here again :)
If you wanna dive-into XS products, grab a bottle of their Dynamic Cut compound and Ice polish. You will laugh out loud at the results (because they’re that good). Their clay lube and Finale polish are staples in my arsenal. Just pay close attention to your pads and techniques, letting the products do more of the work.
Love the scientific approach you take to your tests. Your channel stands out in that regard! It makes objectively comparing products across reviews a breeze via your website. Keep up the great reviews!
Great test and definitely made it easier to pull the trigger on some Xtreme Soluitions. Can't imagine anyone is waiting 9 or 10 washes between top-ups of a topper, so the fact that it lasted as long as it did is only a bonus. I'm sure most of us would use this at least every 3rd wash (and indeed maybe every wash as a drying aid) so used in conjunction with whatever sealant you have (polymer/ceramic/wax/whatever), I'd say it'd be a great long term solution. My plan is to use this as a topper on CQuartz SIC on one car I take care of, and likely also on top of Jescar Ultra Lock Plus on a 2nd vehicle. Very interested to see how they work with each one, as they are similar-ish but definitely not the same style of sealant.
@@DmitrysGarage 2 months now since I used Topper on top of the CQuartz SiC and it definitely still looks and feels excellent. Putting it on top of Ultra Lock+ this week as planned, still in the middle of it (it's a truck so I'm doing it over a couple of days), so far so good and the slickness is through the roof.
Watch @7:28 For everyone buying car care products this is what needs to be asked and addressed by manufacturers and or at least prove that they have UV protection, i mean as ive said before we can have all the beading, Sheathing and ultimate gloss but what good can it do if we dont have much UV blocking agent, if not no UV protection? their excuse will be our clear paint coat should be our protection but as everyone knows every time we do compound and polish our cars we take a little bit of that clear coat hence we rely on their products for protection right? but Dmitry's videos prove otherwise which is the only channel that does this type of debunking if i may say... All im saying to the manufacturer to please look into UV protection MORE than ever and to add it on your products that you produce. Lets like and share this channel coz its one of the few that make sense.
I agree with you. I think UV is ultimately overlooked and not a real feature of most waxes. I don’t know how much they can do given the very thin layers involved. Im glad you enjoyed my videos, and I appreciate your viewership!
Topper all day long considering the look and is half the price of the ExoForma Graphene Detailer. Dimitry love to bring in Ethos Resist and Beadmaker also to put through your evaluation. Great video as always,
Topper is very cheap and if i was looking for easy/slick/pretty for cheap as a detail spray the price point is very attractive. The ExoForma is a bit pricey to use it as a detail spray. Thanks for watching!
@@DmitrysGarage I second that request for Ethos Resist! And, on the use of toppers, I really would like to see how stacking these toppers over a foundation sealant like Fusso Coat can add or reduce gloss, for example. I think you proved that they can make the overall protection last longer in another video. Thanks, Dmitry! 👏👍🇬🇧
Thanks for watching. Will add another vote for the Ethos Resist. I am considering using a test with various underlying substrates to see how toppers help. I think once i have a catalog of more toppers I can test a few in a showdown.
Topper is exactly what it's name says. Last step, top coat gloss enhancer. And at that job it is amazing. Let cure over night and it looks even glossier.
I think a lot of people use gloss and candy visual appearance interchangeably. A nice candy paint on a car will always look warm, deep and "glossy", but the most basic of mirrors which won't have those qualities will stomp any paint job on actual gloss as a measure of reflected light.
@@DmitrysGarage Extremely good point. Gloss meters are indeed useful but don't tell the whole story in terms of what our eye sees, and what our brains find pleasing.
My bottle of Xtreme Solutions Topper came in with a bunch of dark red/purple stuff stuck to the inside of the bottle and suspended in the solution, why is this? is this normal??
When you apply a topper to a ceramic, doesn't it mask the qualities of the ceramic or does it "enhance" it? I'm just envisioning a layer on top of the ceramic so you are just simply encapsulating the ceramic with the topper. So what would the advantages be to installing a ceramic vile coating and then a topper.....? Just confused with topper concept. your help is appreciated.
DG Thank you for your very informative and detailed videos! One suggestion, can you try to incorporate a water-spot resistance test? I've gone back to sealants and waxes, b/c I find they have better resistance to water spotting. (could be my own paranoia) especially the lower body panels which get hit with puddle splashes while driving, I park the car, go to work, come back 8-hrs later those water spots have been baked in.
Thanks Jorge, appreciate your kind comment! I have been working on a water spot resistance test, I'm just not sure how to quantify it well. Like I could give a sort of pass/fail result, but it would be great to have a way to measure it objectively. I have a few ideas though.
For test construction, I’d recommend using your local water report as your baseline, and maybe even do two tests with treated and untreated water. That way viewers (have to) understand why we have a certain water hardness. In the end of course, we can’t replicate things like the industrial fallout in rain, and that factor alone might make such an endeavor a moot one. I do think however that the ‘Scott HD’ approach of leaving a hood out in the elements (especially in your area) shows a lot of real-world product resistance to water spotting and etching. I feel for those struggling on the coatings-vs-sealants/wax dilemma; I’m one of them. For my own cars I’ve resorted to the latter, but if you’re a professional detailer there’s an incentive to go with the former. But you have to ask yourself how many clients you want calling you weeks later (complaining about water spots…or concerns with longevity). At some point, there’s a line we have to draw between the detailer’s eye and the eye of the average car owner. There’s a gulf of a difference in perception of cleanliness. These products really do require consultation and education for the unfamiliar customer…because nature always wins.
Mr. Dmitry - I have a brand new Tacoma TRD Pro. It may need a light compound, but I’m mainly concerned about polishing the finish before applying a ceramic coating. I’ll do the following: wash / rinse / iron remove / wash / rinse / detail spray + clay bar / *maybe light compound if needed / finish polish / IPA wipe / ceramic coat. Sir, what: compound (light) would brand of compound would you recommend? What brand of finish polish would you recommend? What ceramic coating would you recommend? What “topper” would you recommend? Thank you in advance for the info, sir. Respectfully, Robb
Robert, Personally if the car has really clean paint already, being new, I would just hit it with Meguiar's 205 finishing polish. If you need a bit more cut you could use the Mirror Glaze Fine-Cut from Meguiars as well. For a ceramic coating, I really like the Adam's Graphene Spray Coating, but I'm also about to test their non-spray liquid version which they claim is even more durable. I usually don't use toppers personally unless I need to touch up a dead spot on a coating. I was pretty impressed with the Xtreme Solutions Topper recently, looked very good.
Thank you, Dmitry. I really appreciate it. One last question... do you have any recommendations for ceramic coating the plastic trim (fender flares / bumpers)?
Thanks for watching! I would say the Last Coat 2.0 is noticeably more durable and better looking. However I'd say the ExoForma Graphene Detailer is slicker and is a bit easier to apply.
Ah oops I misread. I think the Xtreme Solutions Topper is a little easier to use, and a good amount slicker and a bit better looking than the Last Coast 2.0, but not nearly as durable. TLC2 is super durable in comparison.
Love your videos. Look for them every day and base my purchases on your reviews. I use Aquawax Duragloss mostly after every other dusting, rarely have to wash as I am in AZ so I am dusting every other day. Can I use this Xtreme topper the same way I am using my Aquawax?
Thanks Paula! Really appreciate your very kind comment :-). Yes! You can use Topper as a detail spray of sorts as long as you wipe it all up, and the looks of this product are killer. You may also consider the Xtreme Jersey Devil as a waterless wash, which is much closer to a detail spray product and also a protectant. I think it depends how dirty the car gets between dustings.
I’ve been testing products for about 3 years now. NV Lustre has become my favorite. You should definitely give this a try with your testing regiment. I’d love to see your thoughts on it.
Good question. In theory you could. However, you always have to test to see how it performs. Sometimes these products don't work well together, for example a solvent or carrier fluid in one of the products could start to dissolve the product under it. I haven't tried these two together, but if you try it out let me know how it works out!
@@DmitrysGarage Thank you for your time. I'm a beginner in the car detailing world and very curious on how different products work. I just ordered both products and waiting for them to come in.
I've had that nozzle for the better part of a decade, so not too sure on the model, much of the paint/text has worn down. It's similar to these: www.lowes.com/pd/Karcher-6-in-1-Spray-Nozzle/1000956058
I tried topper for the first time last week. TBH, I was a bit disappointed. Sure it was slick and looked good, but so are the other 50 products I have tried. I was very turned off by the sprayer. Having seen Dimitry's sprayer I realized I received a defective one. Mine does not produce that fine mist that Dimitry got. I get lots of blobs after some heavy pumping, and most of it trickles out over my hand. I think I prefer Ethos Defy over this.
Oh that's too bad, mine adjusted very well when I started opening it up. I actually liked it a lot more than the ExoForma sprayer which didn't mist as well. It's too bad you got a defective one!
@Dmitry is there any spray that adds paint chip durability? what would you recommend that comes close to ppf? obviously it wont last....even a 3 week durability of this protection level would be appreciated. Thank you!
Unfortunately I don't think anything will be able to help. PPF is usually a few mils thick which is 50-70+ microns. Waxes, sealants and coatings range from a few microns to fractions of a micron thick. None of them will prevent damage from rock chips or scratches, despite what marketing may indicate. The protection they provide is lubricity during washing, self cleaning and a sacrificial layer to help reduce swirls when washing, that's it. Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool video and I like your methodical approach. I'm curious to try Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions spray and then top it with Extreme Solutions Topper. Have you tried something like this? If so, could you please share your thoughts or findings?
Thanks for the kind comments! I have not tried that combination, but it would probably work. I've tried similar combos successfully. Give it a shot and let me know!
Devin, that's a good question. I think they would work, but it has to be tested out. Sometimes products don't work well together and solvents or carrier fluids may affect the underlying product.
Given how unique Fusso is, I’d lean towards other complimentary products they offer. Very doubtful other brands are testing a pairing with something like Fusso, unless their compounds are similar in nature. I’m betting old-school Nu Finish is closer than the usual suspects!
I take it that these are used after every wash almost so lasting 10 washes doesn’t really matter if it up the look. I end every wash with a detailer. I still love meg’s ceramic detailer. It just smells great and brings back some amazing water behavior
Chris, you can certainly use them every wash. However, I think it depends on your preference. I personally don't want to essentially wax every wash, I want the product to work for me over time, especially on a daily driver, so that I can have quick good looking washes between longer deep cleanings. So it just depends on what steps you prefer. I usually do touch up with a detailer in spots, but I don't spray down the whole car since I usually blow most the water off.
I always use a detailer/sealer/topper after every wash. The way I see it is that it removed any remnants of the soap or chemicals in the water and that helps to produce a nicer look overall. Plus, I enjoy it:)
Great comparison, Demitry. The ExoForma look like Adam's Graphene Detail Spray. I have the Adam's and do not like it too much. It leaves spots and streaky. Honestly, I currently have a Adams Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating on my Mustang and BeadMaker is easier to use with it. Its glossier too.
Thanks John, appreciate you watching. I haven't tried Adam's Graphene Detail Spray yet, but it's possible they're similar. It's in my queue and we'll see how it stacks up! The Adam's Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating is awesome, I'm a big fan at the moment, using it on my daily driver. I'm not a massive fan of BeadMaker though.
Appreciate you watching Claude! Wish TH-cam had 10-bit or 12-bit color, would look a lot clearer, like it does during editing. You get to see a lot more shades in the paint gradients where you get banding at 8-bit and it makes it harder to see the impact of the products.
I’ll stick with Adam’s Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating. Much more durable protection than either of these products. It’s lasted all the way through a cold winter on my daily driver and after a wash it looks awesome on the Lexus metallic paint.
Thanks!

Hi Dmitry, what kind of tip do you use on your snub nose when doing the wash test? I like the spray pattern.
I've had that nozzle for the better part of a decade, so not too sure on the model, much of the paint/text has worn down. It's similar to these: www.lowes.com/pd/Karcher-6-in-1-Spray-Nozzle/1000956058
Can you add ceramic spray coating on top of wax?
I would go the other direction, first coating then a wax. You want the most durable product on the bottom.
I tried topper for the first time last week. TBH, I was a bit disappointed. Sure it was slick and looked good, but so are the other 50 products I have tried. I was very turned off by the sprayer.

what would you recommend that comes close to ppf?

Unfortunately I don't think anything will be able to help. PPF is usually a few mils thick which is 50-70+ microns. Waxes, sealants and coatings range from a few microns to fractions of a micron thick. None of them will prevent damage from rock chips or scratches, despite what marketing may indicate. The protection they provide is lubricity during washing, self cleaning and a sacrificial layer to help reduce swirls when washing, that's it. Thanks for watching!

I cure for 24 hours unless instructed to cure longer by the product instructions. So I think it's as cured as it will get. Thanks for watching!
Is it safe to apply Xtreme Solutions on top of my Avalon king armor shield ceramic coating?
I would suggest testing it out, unfortunately I've not tried this combination so I can't say for sure.
I recently emailed Avalon King about using a topper and they actually recommended the Xtreme Solutions one.
are you doing a 20% or 60% angle setting on the gloss meter?
20% which is the correct angle for glossy surfaces.
Do you know if any toppers will work on top of fusso coat ?
Devin, that's a good question. I think they would work, but it has to be tested out. Sometimes products don't work well together and solvents or carrier fluids may affect the underlying product.
Given how unique Fusso is, I’d lean towards other complimentary products they offer. Very doubtful other brands are testing a pairing with something like Fusso, unless their compounds are similar in nature. I’m betting old-school Nu Finish is closer than the usual suspects!

I’ll stick with Adam’s Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating. Much more durable protection than either of these products. It’s lasted all the way through a cold winter on my daily driver and after a wash it looks awesome on the Lexus metallic paint.
Thanks for watching John, glad to have your viewership and appreciate the info on the Adam's product, I want to test that one soon.
