    The water beading off at a different "speed" when tilting the device by hand is naturally because your tilt was not perfectly controlled. Try it with any hydrophobic phone-shaped brick and you'll see one side will bead faster than the other depending on how imperfect your tilt is.

    Hey Linus!
    Former car detailing guy here, I nerded out about it when I was doing it for work and wound up with a big supply of some different waxes, sealants, etc.... over the years I have used these products on various phones to minimize scratches and partially restore some dinged up units....
    The results were varying, but one thing that I absolutely learned was that you should, generally, NOT DO THIS TO GLASS SCREEN DEVICES. The primary reason why is that most/all of these types of products include solvents and/or polishing agents that will, most likely depending on the products, strip the anti-grease layer off of the phone's display.... This means fingerprints. lots of fingerprints. if it doesn't do this it will not have the same anti-grease performance, and I think just adds more layers of material with different refraction indexes, and makes the grease show up more easily.
    My phones definitely cleaned up easier, and looked better than they did to begin with.
    The other concern I would have is that these products generally recommend gloves and avoiding skin contact, like you clearly realize given you wore gloves to apply it.... after a few bad reactions to exposure to various chemicals over the years as well (these not included, I think*) I'm also just more careful with stuff like that than I once was.... these products shouldn't be applied to something that you handle so thoroughly and so often as your phone. Fridges, shiny surfaces you *dont* habitually touch sure, but the phone just seems like a bad idea to me.

    i used rain-x(water repellant coating) on the ship front windows since a lot of years,same apply method as this,and it is a great difference if you apply the product and wait till is almost all dry before you wipe the excess.
    if you wait,it will last much longer and work better.take in mind the time you need to apply all the windows,or in this case,apply to an entire car before you can whipe the excess,versus the time you need to apply it to half a phone.there is no time for it to bond,nor a surface to bond anywhay,it will srink in a drop.

  • @jimtekkit
    @jimtekkit 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I have AvalonKing ceramic coating on a couple of cars and it's a night-and-day difference how it performs. The car actually gets cleaner if you leave it out in the rain for a little while because the water beads just carry the dirt away. The dirt doesn't stick very strongly to the surface. That's great because it means less car washes and you're scratching the paint less because you're scrubbing it less often. Continues performing like that for years, it's phenomenal stuff.

      yep, Linus rushing things instead of doing it the right way, forming opinions on products that he is too careless to follow the directions on. Methodology matters when you are testing a product. It may have performed the same, but we wouldn't know.
      If Linus never saw basketball before, went to a hoop without a net, he might assume you throw it throw the hoop and try to hit the square on the backboard, because directions don't mean anything :p
      I mean, I've never played badminton, I just assume you are supposed to catch the birdie with your racket and try to throw it at the opposing side's face. You get different points for hitting different parts, the nose is a bullseye, eyes are a penalty ... if they catch it, just means its their serve.

    Linus, could be the case the smartphone you tested is a "new" one, and the coating it comes from factory is somewhat similar to the one you are trying to apply.
    Maybe testing in a used phone, when the factory oleophobic coating is no longer in play, can make a difference.

    @OctoberNight-rr7ny 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These coatings primarily help prevent scratches by making it harder for dirt that can cause scratches form sticking to your car. Dirt that's stuck to your car has a chance to scratch it however dirt that beads off with water does not have that chance. Basically reduces scratches by reducing the chance something will stick to the car long enough to scratch it.
