Just ordered this exact combo and used your coupon code (WAXMODE10)...thanks for this review and discount code. Looking forward to giving this a try in early Spring when it's time to paint correct and apply new protection. 👍
Nice I used that combo 2 weeks ago. When I get the truck back for maintenance interested in the durability of the product. I'm a huge fan of extreme solutions. Easy to use thanks for the video.
Definitely, Aaron is staying active and listening to feedback and really putting together some great products! I'm looking forward to trying out some of the other products in their lineup.
Great to know more about xtreme solutions products available and how to use/apply dry or wet and how to mix for proper usage. Thanks WaxMode Xoxo from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
This combo appears to have it all, super gloss with a nice jetting effect, top tier protection and 12 months+ durability (according to a reply from the brand on their own video for PolySeal)! Thanks for the helpful demo here. "Power Xtreme!!"
WaxMode, I just wanted to thank you for your suggestion of Prep-All. I used it to make sure that when I started polishing there was nothing on the paint. The paint was so pristine that a tunnel carwash ended up leaving non-destructive spots after a speedy drive. In other words, there was zero on the paint. Then I polished with Sonax Perfect Finish, which is idiot proof. Then more Prep-All. By golly, the result was sublime. Thanks for your help.
I fool around a lot with the Xtreme products , the Guardian Wax and Magnum wax will work together from my testing as well. Did a black Miata and it is awesome. Let cure for two days and topped with PolySeal. I’ve got a bunch of the stuff from them. 403,404 also are big winners as well pretty much everything I’ve tried they make works. Good video props to the guys out at Xtreme.
Thanks for the feedback Amir! Any significant differences out of Guardian that you notice compared to Magnum Wax? I definitely want to get my hands on some of their polishing liquids to test out.
WaxMode be careful once you buy Xtreme polishes it can become habit forming. But the 358 is actually what Magnum came from, 358 Guardian is a older Wax originally designed for Airplanes. So it’s crazy durable for a liquid wax. Magnum is basically a light form of 358 Guardian. In the early days of Guardian it was a great wax but it’s formula was so rich application was a issue. Hence Magnum the light version of Guardian. Hahah Origin story of wax that’s mad funny to me. Anyhow very similar but Guardian feels slightly heavier needs about a half hour to set before wipe off. But like Magnum wipe off is effortless. Maybe just a hair more to it. The wipe off I mean. Shine and gloss will go to Magnum but durability will go to Guardian. I love both. Beading is inane with two coats. Top them with two coats of PolySeal a hour between them and you’ll see coating like beading. Currently pushing 3months on the Miata and looks like it’s nowhere near done. Check the Xtreme Solutions Facebook and you’ll see the Miata and I also post a picture of the hood and the 403 I used to finish the polish.
Jay Zstr Shine and Gloss goes to Magnum by a hair , Guardian will last longer. If you ask me each looks best with two coats topped with PolySeal. Just do a panel wipe with IPA before your first coat of whatever you use Magnum or Guardian and PolySeal. I get the best results from that.
I have watched almost all your videos you do a great job showing these products. I'm a huge duragloss fan and would love to see you demo some of there products. There hardly any videos out there on duragloss 101,105, 111, and aqua wax. There dirt cheap, durable, and easy to use.
Thanks Christopher! I've got 601, 105, 111, and Aquawax in the collection, I pull them out every now and then to play around with. Aquawax is quite nice to work with, leaves a nice slick surface behind on the paint. I opened 111 and 105 up many years ago, would be worried about the shelf life at this point and I know those bottles aren't sealed as tight with the caps, every time I shook 111 and 105 I'd get a little bit leaking out of the top of the caps. Last time I used them they didn't feel as slick as the first few times I pulled them out.
even when fresh slickness is not there strong point, but durability, ease of use, and price are definitely are there strong points. They sure give it that wet look too. @@WaxMode
Funny. I told my wife, when I brought her from the Czech Republic, how important packaging is in the States. You could bottle crap and package it nice and sell it for a high price. At least till you're found out. But you'd still have people who'd swear by it. 😂
lol, you're definitely not wrong! The aesthetics of the brand is a large part of the game in a crowded market. I work with a lot of good products that get the job done, and a lot of the times the difference in what I'm reaching for on a regular basis is something that captures my eye, or more specifically my nose!
Awesome video bro! I can't wait to try out my Gaurdian wax from them. I didn't know the Poly seal was a wet application, that's good to know! Definitely the side topped with Poly seal was more resistant! Once again fantastic video and great information!!!! Take it easy Man! Smurf is stuffed off Taco's!
Thanks Smurf! What does that Guardian Wax smell like? I'm curious to see how Guardian would perform next to Magnum Wax. I think you would like Poly-Seal a lot, the slickness is awesome after the final wipeoff! Cheers bro!
@@WaxMode I'll have to get back to you on the wax as I don't think I've opened it for the ol sniff test!😂 that would be a great video to put them head to head! 🍻🍻 brotha!
Thanks for the great review. I've got some Poly Seal and it's a good product at it's price point, but as you say here, I've definitely seen other products that are much more hydrophobic. I, like you, am ALL ABOUT THE HYDROPHOBICS! That's probably the main feature of a product that moves my senses. I want to see that great hydrophobics. After seeing this video, the product I want to get my hands on now is the Magnum Wax. That stuff looked great. The fact that you could technically over apply the product somewhat and still get that incredible wipe off is incredible. Not that I would intentionally over apply a product, but some consumers or weekend detailers might. The fact that if they did, and could still get a great wipe off is really great. And the durability of Magnum at up to six months is totally worth the price. This would be a great all around wax for the everyday person just wanting to wash a vehicle and get some basic protection on their vehicle. Looks like a perfect place for this wax.
Cheers Joe, I appreciate your recommendation for me to try Poly-Seal out! Very fun to use, and I agree that feature with Magnum Wax that makes it so easy to work with is crucial for me when I'm looking for a liquid paint sealant. I'm still on the hunt for a liquid sealant that is crazy hydrophobic, while being as easy to use as something like Magnum Wax, or Power Lock, or Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. I've got my eyes on Meguiar's new M27 sealant to see if it can fill this role.
never heard of a wax over a sealant...everyone has always rec the other way around....keep in mind the magnum is primarily an acrylic/resin formula(hence the cure time - cure time for wax doesnt apply)...and works well on top of xtreme sol polishes and sealants....always thought it was wax over si02 not the other way around.
For me, I'm more likely to apply the more durable protectant on the paint first, as opposed to the less durable protectant. So even though they call it Magnum "Wax", I treat it as if it was a durable liquid paint sealant with a 6+ month durability rating. Poly-Seal they list up to 3 months of protection out of it, which is why I would be using this as a maintenance topper for Magnum.
@@WaxMode on website it states 3 to 6 on poly.....brian has been getting more than that....but he uses it the other way around....he uses poly as a stand alone...then topped with one of their waxes if desired...him and I both tested jade reboot 2.0....didn't hold up to two washes - disappointing
Great, great video. Comprehensive and full of perspective. My thoughts on the marketing bit: I partially disagree, but it’s more on strategy than delivery. I love the simplicity of the product presentation (per bottle), but don’t like the long menu of choices. I think I understand why they have so many categories of products (traditional vs modern ingredients perhaps), but to a set of fresh eyes that menu can be dizzying. What I love is that they are NOT like Ethos or the big hitters, with this Michael Bay-esque look of CGI graphics and refinement. You memorize LVR-304 because everyone who uses it loves what’s actually inside the bottle. And in theory, that approach lowers the price per bottle because they aren’t wasting time investing in bottle appearance...yet are focusing on the car’s appearance. If you get what you wish for there might be fewer products, but the better those products themselves look, kiss affordability goodbye. And for someone looking for a reliable product line as a detailing business, it really could matter when buying inventory. Thanks again for such great content.
I prefer that more durable protectant on the paint first after I've polished the paint out and it's bare. That is the main line of defense and I want it to bond to the highest level without any barrier in between it. That is why I would apply Magnum Wax first, as it has a 6+ month durability timeframe, as opposed to Poly-Seal's 3 month durability timeframe.
Ahh! I'm such a sucker for those good smelling products, that's one of the reasons why I like the Griot's BOSS abrasives so much. Appreciate the feedback, I'm likely to test 403 out in the future!
Thanks for testing Poly Seal. So many great products available now. Could you rank the following products in order of how you like them? Poly Seal, Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax, Hybrid Solutions Spray Coating, Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic Wax and Beadmaker. I have not tried Beadmaker, Poly Seal or the Griots 3 in 1 but, my favorite is Hybrid Solutions Spray Coating then following with Wet Wax after washes.
That's definitely a tough one Robert! I'll throw Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Detailer in the list in the first rank spot. Followed up with Bead Maker, then Hybrid Ceramic Wax, then Poly-Seal, then Griot's 3-in-1, then Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. My number one form of protection is a paint coating, and I prefer maintenance toppers that I can apply dry to best complement those coatings for maintenance washes. Hybrid Ceramic Detailer fits that role perfectly, Bead Maker has also proven to fill that role very well in my tests, it's a great slickness enhancer, wipes off really well, great gloss left behind. Hybrid Ceramic Wax and Poly-Seal are both wet application products and it's a close toss-up between the two of them, HCW has one of the best smells on the market for me and has a slightly better hydrophobic potential compared to Poly-Seal. And I haven't tested Poly-Seal's performance yet on top of the coatings. Griot's Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax and Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating are both good standalone protectants, but they're heavy and they're likely to interfere with the base layer paint coating to a significant level, so I'm not reaching for those as often. If I remove the coating as my base protectant, the list above can change dramatically, so a lot of this depends on my perspective.
WaxMode thanks for the reply. I know you don’t have a lot of free time. Yes, Meguiars HCW has an unbelievably wonderful smell. The only other product that rivals it that I have tried is not a wax but, instant detailer. It’s Optimum Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer. It smells like delicious bubble gum. Pretty good detailer too! I have never tried a true paint coating. I don’t consider Hybrid Solutions Spray Coating a true coating but, a really great product. The depth and gloss is unmatched on my Ruby Red paint so far. I wash and top my car so frequently, I don’t really need a true coating. Then again, if I tried one, I may fall in love with it! You really give Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Detailer super high marks. When I use up all these bottles of Hybrid Solutions Wet Wax I may have to give it a try. You are truly educating people like me on these products and how to use them best and I really do appreciate it. Thanks so much for all your demonstrations and testing.
I had the Optimum Instant Detailer, Car Wax, and Opti-Seal out the other day for tests! Great products, very fun to work on a regular basis, definitely a nice bubblegum scent on the Detailer for sure. Always appreciate your comments Robert!
Can you talk a little about the composition of Magnum wax vs something like a carnauba wax. Also what’s your opinion-on having Xtreme making this formula in a abrasive cleaner wax for AIO applications? Thanks wax mode
I'd like see your thoughts on NV Nova's Jet and Lustre. Their Boost product is also quite interesting as a quick detail spray that does not affect the properties of the underlying coating, sealant, or wax.
Cheers Cormac! I've seen so much good stuff out of NV products from Sandro's videos at Car Craft Auto Detailing, I definitely need to snag some of these up in the future. I appreciate the recommendation!
For me, whatever is the product with the higher expected durability rating, that is going to be the one that I apply to the paint first after polishing it. You can definitely use Poly-Seal as a standalone protectant and probably won't run into issues topping it with Magnum Wax, but I would prefer that Magnum Wax as the base and then Poly-Seal for maintenance.
@@WaxMode ...I asked Xtreme Solutions what the recommended or preferred order to apply these two would be, and they agreed with your approach - Magnum Wax as the base topped with Poly-Seal.
Hey dude! I only have a Huffy 7 speed do you think I could use the magnum on the frame and poly seal on my bike seat? This boring comment brought to you by the wash and wax clan
The black and yellow ones are the Autogeek Gold Plush Jr's, always enjoyed them and I'll usually buy a stack when Autogeek is running a stupid crazy microfiber sale. My neighbor had the black and yellow CG's and I think these Gold Plush Jr's were a higher quality blend. Then I have a bunch of the cheaper yellow Kirkland microfibers that I use often, especially if the spray sealant I'm working with tends to clog the towels up quickly. Kirklands are a pain to tear those tags off, but if you get a good batch then the price is pretty good.
Griot's Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax is very good, nice and durable, but much different compared to Poly-Seal. Poly-Seal I would much rather prefer to use it as a maintenance topper with the wet application, Griot's Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax I'm only going to use it as a base layer protectant, it bonds very effectively to bare paint.
Frank Martinez - I would not top Gyeon One with Can Coat, it really doesn’t need it in order to get strong performance. One is designed to be a single coat coating. Cure is the only recommended topper after the 1 hour cure time to help prevent the coating from really sealing in water spots if they land on the paint before One fully cures. I’m likely to skip the Cure topper as well until later on down the road. Can Coat and Gyeon One are alternatives, not complements, and I would lean towards Can Coat as opposed to Gyeon One, unless Gyeon has recently updated One to make its application much more user-friendly compared to what I experienced when it was first released. I did a forum review on One a few years ago here which summarizes my thoughts: www.autopia.org/forums/detailing-product-reviews/188973-gyeon-impressions-gyeon-booster-testing.html If for whatever reason you would want to top One with Can Coat, I would wait a minimum of 24 hours. One gave me great performance and awesome durability, but it’s entirely outperformed by coatings like CQUK in my experience.
@@WaxMode Check out Apex Detail's Secret Sauce video, I believe Can Coat is one of ingredients in the "sauce", Brian is transparent about it, it has no longevity, it's all about gloss for date night.
Just email gyeon bro. Jeff McEachan is their stateside rep and is really good at answering questions. If you look up Esoteric car cares Can Coat video Todd talks about being able to use can coat as a topper. But I would reach out to Jeff, he’s incredibly knowledgable and be able to give you better details.
The air blower I'm using is the removable head unit of the Ridgid WD4080 shop vacuum. It's corded but has held up really well over the years I've had it.
Haven't picked up the Uber Sio2 shampoo, I did have Uber Rinseless Wash out a few days ago though. Still one of my absolute favorite products. Slickness is nuts, gloss looks great, very easy to dry it off the paint, great scent.
Expected durability is 3 months from Poly-Seal, and 6+ months for the Magnum Wax. I don't have them brewing on the test cars yet, maybe when I get through testing some of the current ones I might cycle these on the paint.
I could care less about the bottle, and how it looks or smells.. give me something that works and tht I can depend on when I reach for it. I only care about what's in the bottle.

I have tried Xtreme 403 glaze it gives great finish and easiest glaze to apply and remove by machine with zero dust but I don’t like the smell of it .
Ahh! I'm such a sucker for those good smelling products, that's one of the reasons why I like the Griot's BOSS abrasives so much. Appreciate the feedback, I'm likely to test 403 out in the future!
the smell of 403 LVR not bad it similar Britemax glaze and Griots Fast Cream Correction , personally I don’t like this smell with strong perfume.
Thanks for testing Poly Seal. So many great products available now. Could you rank the following products in order of how you like them? Poly Seal, Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax, Hybrid Solutions Spray Coating, Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic Wax and Beadmaker. I have not tried Beadmaker, Poly Seal or the Griots 3 in 1 but, my favorite is Hybrid Solutions Spray Coating then following with Wet Wax after washes.
That's definitely a tough one Robert! I'll throw Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Detailer in the list in the first rank spot. Followed up with Bead Maker, then Hybrid Ceramic Wax, then Poly-Seal, then Griot's 3-in-1, then Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating.
My number one form of protection is a paint coating, and I prefer maintenance toppers that I can apply dry to best complement those coatings for maintenance washes. Hybrid Ceramic Detailer fits that role perfectly, Bead Maker has also proven to fill that role very well in my tests, it's a great slickness enhancer, wipes off really well, great gloss left behind.
Hybrid Ceramic Wax and Poly-Seal are both wet application products and it's a close toss-up between the two of them, HCW has one of the best smells on the market for me and has a slightly better hydrophobic potential compared to Poly-Seal. And I haven't tested Poly-Seal's performance yet on top of the coatings.
Griot's Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax and Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating are both good standalone protectants, but they're heavy and they're likely to interfere with the base layer paint coating to a significant level, so I'm not reaching for those as often.
If I remove the coating as my base protectant, the list above can change dramatically, so a lot of this depends on my perspective.
WaxMode thanks for the reply. I know you don’t have a lot of free time. Yes, Meguiars HCW has an unbelievably wonderful smell. The only other product that rivals it that I have tried is not a wax but, instant detailer. It’s Optimum Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer. It smells like delicious bubble gum. Pretty good detailer too! I have never tried a true paint coating. I don’t consider Hybrid Solutions Spray Coating a true coating but, a really great product. The depth and gloss is unmatched on my Ruby Red paint so far. I wash and top my car so frequently, I don’t really need a true coating. Then again, if I tried one, I may fall in love with it! You really give Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Detailer super high marks. When I use up all these bottles of Hybrid Solutions Wet Wax I may have to give it a try. You are truly educating people like me on these products and how to use them best and I really do appreciate it. Thanks so much for all your demonstrations and testing.
I had the Optimum Instant Detailer, Car Wax, and Opti-Seal out the other day for tests! Great products, very fun to work on a regular basis, definitely a nice bubblegum scent on the Detailer for sure. Always appreciate your comments Robert!
WaxMode .
Can you talk a little about the composition of Magnum wax vs something like a carnauba wax. Also what’s your opinion-on having Xtreme making this formula in a abrasive cleaner wax for AIO applications? Thanks wax mode
I'd like see your thoughts on NV Nova's Jet and Lustre. Their Boost product is also quite interesting as a quick detail spray that does not affect the properties of the underlying coating, sealant, or wax.
Cheers Cormac! I've seen so much good stuff out of NV products from Sandro's videos at Car Craft Auto Detailing, I definitely need to snag some of these up in the future. I appreciate the recommendation!
Grass looks good.
That was a great video excellent job. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much Kenny!
I applied it in the reverse..Polyseal 1st,, very interesting
For me, whatever is the product with the higher expected durability rating, that is going to be the one that I apply to the paint first after polishing it. You can definitely use Poly-Seal as a standalone protectant and probably won't run into issues topping it with Magnum Wax, but I would prefer that Magnum Wax as the base and then Poly-Seal for maintenance.
@@WaxMode ...I asked Xtreme Solutions what the recommended or preferred order to apply these two would be, and they agreed with your approach - Magnum Wax as the base topped with Poly-Seal.
Hey dude! I only have a Huffy 7 speed do you think I could use the magnum on the frame and poly seal on my bike seat?
This boring comment brought to you by the wash and wax clan
The Magnum Wax would make that Huffy pop like no other!
What’s the best wax
Can you do Wizards Liquid Nano Wax? I use it and I like it but I'm not sure how durable it is.
Thanks!
I think I saw a few of the Wizards products locally at some of the auto parts stores, I'll check next time I head over to Advance.
Are those yellow towels, CG's?
The black and yellow ones are the Autogeek Gold Plush Jr's, always enjoyed them and I'll usually buy a stack when Autogeek is running a stupid crazy microfiber sale. My neighbor had the black and yellow CG's and I think these Gold Plush Jr's were a higher quality blend. Then I have a bunch of the cheaper yellow Kirkland microfibers that I use often, especially if the spray sealant I'm working with tends to clog the towels up quickly. Kirklands are a pain to tear those tags off, but if you get a good batch then the price is pretty good.
Do you think these products are better than Groits Products for I just love their three in one ceramic wax. Let me know
Griot's Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax is very good, nice and durable, but much different compared to Poly-Seal. Poly-Seal I would much rather prefer to use it as a maintenance topper with the wet application, Griot's Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax I'm only going to use it as a base layer protectant, it bonds very effectively to bare paint.
Little off subject but do you think you can top gyeon one with can coat a hour after application?
Hmmmm they are both coatings. I’d say no. Top with gyeon cure. The spray seal. Look at apex details recent video with gyeon one
Frank Martinez - I would not top Gyeon One with Can Coat, it really doesn’t need it in order to get strong performance. One is designed to be a single coat coating. Cure is the only recommended topper after the 1 hour cure time to help prevent the coating from really sealing in water spots if they land on the paint before One fully cures. I’m likely to skip the Cure topper as well until later on down the road.
Can Coat and Gyeon One are alternatives, not complements, and I would lean towards Can Coat as opposed to Gyeon One, unless Gyeon has recently updated One to make its application much more user-friendly compared to what I experienced when it was first released. I did a forum review on One a few years ago here which summarizes my thoughts: www.autopia.org/forums/detailing-product-reviews/188973-gyeon-impressions-gyeon-booster-testing.html
If for whatever reason you would want to top One with Can Coat, I would wait a minimum of 24 hours. One gave me great performance and awesome durability, but it’s entirely outperformed by coatings like CQUK in my experience.
@@WaxMode Check out Apex Detail's Secret Sauce video, I believe Can Coat is one of ingredients in the "sauce", Brian is transparent about it, it has no longevity, it's all about gloss for date night.
Just email gyeon bro. Jeff McEachan is their stateside rep and is really good at answering questions. If you look up Esoteric car cares Can Coat video Todd talks about being able to use can coat as a topper.
But I would reach out to Jeff, he’s incredibly knowledgable and be able to give you better details.
What kind of air blower are you using??
The air blower I'm using is the removable head unit of the Ridgid WD4080 shop vacuum. It's corded but has held up really well over the years I've had it.
Did you try Wolfgang Uber Sio2 shampoo without Lsp ?
Haven't picked up the Uber Sio2 shampoo, I did have Uber Rinseless Wash out a few days ago though. Still one of my absolute favorite products. Slickness is nuts, gloss looks great, very easy to dry it off the paint, great scent.
Any idea of longevity?
Expected durability is 3 months from Poly-Seal, and 6+ months for the Magnum Wax. I don't have them brewing on the test cars yet, maybe when I get through testing some of the current ones I might cycle these on the paint.
I’m in the first few views yes !
the LVR 357 MAGNUM is better than the LVR - 403
Love this stuff!! Magnum is amazing!! Check out my review on it!!!! It is truly one of a kind
Cheers Hank, keep up the great work on the videos!
WaxMode thanks
I could care less about the bottle, and how it looks or smells.. give me something that works and tht I can depend on when I reach for it. I only care about what's in the bottle.
Woo Who.....strippers 👀😂
It's funny some of my earlier videos got temporarily demonetized because I was using "Strip Wash" in the title of the video! Haha!
