Haven't tried these particular ones but recently have tried chemical guys quick detailer wax and was extremely impressed with it. So impressed I spent $15 on chemical brothers 16oz bottle of their carwash soap and still highly impressed with the results from both chemical guys products. Also have noticed that my new truck still looks clean even after days of rain ,when most vehicles would have residue from road spray.
I bet you it would work perfectly if you mixed both of them together in a really nice and clean container, shake them up really well together (very important) and flush both of them down the toilet..
The end results of your testing confirmed my suspicions at the onset of removal--also confirmed by previous videos. In theory, since CG is harder to remove, it *should* be more durable. I get the appeal of both though, on one hand CG provides a bit more durability and McGuiars is much easier to remove. Kind of depends on how much time you have to detail and how often you want to be detailing your vehicle. I'd still probably lean towards the CG as a topper over some sort of Carnauba Wax.
@@Carlos.Rivera They have a "Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax"..... Everyone is doing it. And truth be told, they are all marketed as "ceramic" even though the majority of them as silica-dioxide coatings aka SiO2 - even the established CQuartz products are SiO2. They are used interchangeably in the industry because its simply easier to describe and market than "Silica-dioxide". Most products worth their weigh are going to have the SiO2 marking on the label somewhere. NONE of these spray coatings are going to last more than a few washes because they do not actually bond to the clearcoat of the car like an actual coating does
CG is overpriced no matter what. 10$ for a 12-14 ounce bottle of spray detailer? No thanks. I’m not a fan of their products because of their marketing. Just because it’s a well known brand, should not justify a higher price.

Interesting comments as you tested. The Chemical Guys product was clearly better in your tests but your comments were consistently downplaying the difference. You also mentioned that it was harder to apply but what I noticed was that it was easier to get good coverage because you could see where you had applied. I've used products from both of these companies and like them both but if I had to choose between these two products, I'd spend the extra $$ and get the Chemical Guys product.

But for the price and for what they do, I will keep using them cause they seem to do what I'm looking for to keep my car looking great!. Thanks for posting this. This Was a great comparison!
I'm seeing alot of comments bashing CG due to high prices compared to brands you see at auto stores. CG is actually way cheaper than most on a lot of their products. Reason being they sell full concentrates like a 64oz bottle of APC for $20 when delitued 20:1 makes close to 100 12oz APC spray bottles. That's insane! That's $0.20 each bottle. Again some of their items are expensive but the savings you get from other items like APC, Window Cleaner, Carpet Cleaner, tire cleaner and shine, and also soap for foam cannon which I have a gallon of Mr. Pink and I wash multiple cars every weekend and still havent put a decent size dent in the bottle and it's been 7 months now, makes buying those more expensive items seem way less expensive or atleast doesnt feel like its denting your pockets compared to buying only 1 bottle of meguiars and it's already premixed for $12. Just throwing my hat into the ring :)
Could the paint itself. Some of the new Mercedes hoods are hazy even after multi step polish. It could be orange peel. Also could be due to low quality repaint.
I’m about to use the chemical guys stuff on a 22 year old car that I spent 3 days polishing and glazing. Their stuff is always a little better in my experience
IMO no need to rub the iron remover or APC, u would expect removal. Spray it with no rubbing, as if u over sprayed from cleaning wheels or engine. See what car washes effect it, that would be more of a real scenario. How many washes till it washes away from actual car wash shampoos. Thanks for the video.
i agree. a more realistic test would be to bombard it with car soap and salt water rather than these types of cleaners. like ofcourse these things would strip the protectants
Glad I looked this up. I almost bought the McGuires today over chemical guys... but the end result is so close I think I’ll stick with the cheaper option at the end of the day. Going to buy the McGuires now 👍
The end result really wasn't that close. The Chemical Guys was still sheeting water pretty well at the end. The Meguiars wasn't even close. He also didn't prepare the surface properly for the Chemical guys, which means he probably didn't the Meguiars either. Chemical Guys says right on their website to wash and clay bar. I know damn well he didn't clay bar first. Can't do an accurate review of a product if you're not following their basic recommendations. Wash that panel, clay bar it, then polish it to remove swirls and small imperfections THEN apply the Chemical Guys and Meguiars and see which does better.

I do like both but for exterior,I have been partial to CH for. Few years. Hydra Slick/Speed are excellent for me. I use two coats of H-Slick for the initial coating. H-Speed for touch up. I love the Gel based formula of the H-slick…thicker than liquid but thinner than paste. Note: I know this was a test pane but for everyday use application of ceramic coatings and pretty much most exterior polishes, wax, sealants etc….. the circular method is NOT recommended. Especially using paint correction methods….o would think that the circular rubbing method would defeat the purpose of paint correction….especially swirls and scratches.

It seriously time to show which products actually do what they say they do!! tired of people telling me what I should use. Show me if it works then we will talk :P
I tried to give chemical guys so many tries and the benefit of the doubt. Used their diablo wheel cleaner and it stripped the clear coat off my wheels. I tried to used their leather serum and leather cleaner and it both stripped the leather dye in front of my eyes. Never have i seen this in 20 years of detailing my leather. Problem with chemical guys is they try to push out so many products out, they do not have the sufficient R&D in these products (except maybe a few of their car washes). Just because it smells good doesnt mean it's a quality product. Dont let those senses fool you. That said, i could not care less for meguiars either.
@@texmexed8865 I use Sonax ceramic spray with decent results. Even The Last Coat works pretty well. It wears off after a few months though. I was using beadmaker spray but it doesnt last as long, it doesnt bond. For interior cleaning leather/vinyl, i use Carpro inside which is meant for dilution; I also use Lithium inner space. For wheel cleaning, you can Optimum power clean but make sure to dilute it and not let it dry. For paint cleaning, anything that's PH neutral but you can use optimum power clean as a spot treater but be mindful that it's strong stuff.

Hey Jimbo, not related to this video but a huge thanks for turning me onto TW seal & shine. Used it on my Suzuki Equator & my wife’s Kia Sorento. One black & one white. And just WOW! Took 30 min total for both and the slickness is amazing. Here in Chicago this time of year the last thing you wanna do is be outside long. Been over a month for the truck and this AM the snow literally just fell right off.
Yeah, I live in the NorthEast and get the snow too...I like the Seal N Shine and The Ceramic Coating spray. The Ceramic Spray seems to give higher gloss and covers slight swirl scratches along with giving weather protection...Seal N Shine not as much gloss as the ceramic, but it lasts long for a spray wax/polish. Both are equally good in MY opinion. I am going to stay away from these two products Jimbo just gave the torture test to. Not enough protection.
Jeff Eppenger I’ve used many products although I haven’t tried bead maker. However this spray wax destroys anything else I’ve used. Here in Chicago we have had rain, snow & -20 windchills and none of them have killed it yet. And the fact that i can do my truck in 20 minutes really can’t be beat.
Jeff Eppenger........BM is very slick and glossy, but no durability. It only last a week or two for me. It’s more of a detail spray. S&S doesn’t have the most gloss, but is among the most durable spray-ons.
Living in northern New Hampshire none of that will work . Mountain driving . between mud season snow and pine trees. You gotta be happy half that crap comes off
Interesting. I have yet to use a ceramic product and honestly for the money makes me want to stay old school and continue with the old yellow carnuba 2 times a year with a quick detailer and quick waxes to maintain.
Do you feel that spray wax offers less protection against road rash from highway travel than a liquid or paste wax? I feel that the process of hand buffing in a traditional wax and waiting for a haze to form before removing, really adds a better barrier against small debris on the road doing damage to the front of the vehicle. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks!
I honestly dont think Turtle Wax really knew what they had with the Seal N Shine! It came out at a low price, then when everyone was raving about it, they upped the price. They should have saved introducing that product until this last Vegas convention.
Expected more from Meguiars Liquid Wax but this is on the same level as the Spray version (the famous blue bottle). It is always easy to use the spray if the durability is same
Nothing like a good 3 step with an orbital buffer. That shit wont get into the paint to clean, put back nutrients, and cover with a hard shell coating of wax. Mequiers no2, pre-treatment, no7 resealer glaze, and no 26 wax. That has worked for me for years.
I have use a few of CG products and to be honest it just not that good as many people make it seen (my personal opinion) I have used Maguire's products for years and I have never been disappointed, they just make great detail car products.
It's called a Bhrule blaster they are about £50 in the UK. You get 3 x nossle attachments. I wouldn't be without mine. In the USA I believe they are called Master Blaster. Hope this helps.
Don’t apply product in circular motions bud. Any FOD that gets caught under your applicator will create circular scratches which is way harder to buff out.
You guys have it good in the states I have the meguires ceramic wax and here it costs 60 dollars. So whatever you choose just be glad your paying quarter of the price that it is in Australia. Also I love the meguires it works best if you do proper preparation before hand on the car and actually leave it to cure for a period of time instead of taking it straight off
The Meguair's Liquid SPRAY Wax is THE best thing I've used in the past 10 years. I wouldn't trade it for e absolutely anything else at this point, not a paste, not a spray, not a gel.
@@jeffreylangan344 I was referring to the ceramic spray wax, but I have both the detailer and the wax - and both are amazing! Keep in mind that the detailer is a... well, a detailer, so it will just give a temporary protection.
I applied Hydro Slick to my new Tesla. Holy cow what a difference. I’ve been driving in the rain for the last few weeks and once I park in the garage everything just sheets off and the car looks freshly washed. I know it won’t last long but so far I’m going on a month with it. I will be using the ceramic car wash to see if I can maintain it for at least through the Sacramento “winter”.
Only thing I use from Chemical guys is their hex logic pads, and that is only because they are cheaper than Meguiars ones, at least in my country. Other stuff from Chemicals is product overlapping, overpriced mess; not worth money or pre purchase research. Also would go rather for spray ceramic than liquid one. It's is much faster and easier to use.
Down Under Garage In Europe too, quantum ones are great, though here in Europe there are many brands that have same type of pads now with hole in center. Like Honeycomb Combinatiin, that aren’t know that well but are as good and cheaper than chemicals ones.
I tossed my last 2 bottles of seal n shine in the garbage this weekend. Tired of the streaking on my black truck. I think I will go back to the jescar powerlock plus and beadmaker until the new meguiars stuff comes out in the the beginning of the year
You have to apply it correctly. Out of direct sunlight, cool panel, spray your microfiber towel and not the panel. Too much product will make it streak. I've actually gone to Mckees 37 10min paint sealant. Wipe on and walk away. Can get 30-40 vehicles per bottle.
You might be using too much product and that is what causes the streaking...I am one to go overboard on stuff like that myself...but I listened to everyone and applied less spray and I had no streaking.
TX I wash my truck indoors in an underground parking garage. I always spray directly on towel and never use too much with any product. I always start with less, then do more if needed with any product. I’m very familiar with application processes on a lot of products as well. This is the only stuff I’ve really ever had issues with, as well as a lot of other people. How are you liking the Mckees?
@@24skeemers sorry you're having trouble with it. Ive used 8 bottles of it lol. For the Mckees, I wont use anything else as a mobile detailer. Wipe on and walk away. So quick and easy. The gloss is amazing. I can get around 40 vehicles out of a $40 bottle.
I wash and wax my car once a week so I feel I don’t need to use anything expensive and long lasting. I’ve even had good results with good old Turtle wax products.
As a professional detailer I just bought 5 gallons of professional product for 80 bucks, i mix at 125 parts product to 1 part water... and it still works better than this ...if it's available to the public.... it's probably a rip off
Hey bro do you think is better to use spray wax?..that's what I use all the time..idk but I'm afraid of using those products because they're gonna add an extra layer then it's gonna get hard to clean and remove it.
Chemical guys is better overall. You get what you pay for. To be fair, you would spray all of these harsh chemicals BEFORE doing these ceramics. They look the same almost when you applied them. So with that being said the Meguiars is good for people on a budget. Chemical Guys if you want the best consumer products.
I am just guessing based on how some 100% synthetic sealants work. I am thinking the carnauba is coming off but the ceramics are staying behind which is why it still sheets nicely but does not bead. Personally i think sheeting is better as it makes it quicker and easier to dry preventing waterspots. Which is why i loved NXT even though people were wrongly assuming it didnt last because of the lack of beading but because everyone likes beading water everyone is pushing these hybrids.
Mick Holgate I like that but I always have that weird rainbow effect I have to buff off with a microfiber towel which makes it a pain because the. I’m basically waxing like a normal paste wax
The Chemical Guys seemed to fair just a tad better, but your right I want something with more of long lasting effect. Considering my car is ceramic coated anyway I would be looking for something that would boost the longevity and help it last longer than the 5 year warranty.
William Pineo maybe I’m doing it wrong but I found that spraying in on and waiting 10 minutes to let it dry and then wiping it off works amazing. It basically turned to dust and just wiped off.
Just bought a new GoldWing motorcycle. It's red and I'd like to protect it. What's best way to do it? Just wax or should I wax then ceramic coat it or what? Maybe you could suggest a good brand to go with? I'm patient and can do it myself just wanna know who I should go with like a good kit out there, brand, etc...
A lot of sealants make plastics look good - how does this compare to say armorall shield sealant which brings plastics back to black? ITs my winter go-to.
Ok just a thought to these ppl complaining about these "torture" tests. Firstly you either watched the video and or at least clicked on it. So it peaked your intrest in some way. As for the tests yeah you aren't putting that harsh of chemicals on your vehicle but doesnt this show you how well it will hold up just at an accelerated pace? When you take your car to a car wash or wash it yourself aren't you subjecting it to detergents of some kind? Or simply driving behind another car eating their road grime and any chemicals the road has to offer. I know jimbo benefits from these videos but I'm pretty sure we all take something away from them as well. So I say thank you jimbo screw the haters.
So you want someone to do a video where they wash and wax a car, not have any kind of control in the experiment ( because that's basically what this is, an experiment). Than you want that person to drive the car and wash it regularly over the course of a few weeks or months. And somehow keep it so that there is no change to the environment of said vehicle? At the heart of it this is a scientific experiment. He is going about it in a professional way. To the best of his knowledge he is controlling said experiment/test in a way that doesnt allow change in the process and he accelerates the process by using chemicals that may or may not be equal to chemicals we may encounter on the road and or at car washes. I'd say he is doing a fine job. If you can do something better maybe you should try it out and show everyone instead of complaining and saying he is doing a fine job. I'm willing to bet most people who are complaining also don't agree with politicians or the way something in the world is run. But that same person wont actually try to do something about it. Rant over sorry jimbo
I applied to the Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Paste and I really liked it! Super forgiving/easy to use. Haven’t torture tested it but it’s on my daily so it will get tortured.
Apex Mobile Detailing & Ceramic Coatings LLC i have me guiarás hybrid ceramic on my daily right now, took it for some highway miles and got some bug splats on it LOL little bit of water and it just cleared off soo easily
How will this traslate to real life time and exposure after application? Is not like "regular" people use those iron remover and stuff...just wash and wash after wash..
Question: In this day and age, where do liquid waxes fall in the detailing world? It seems spray sealants outlast and are easier to apply. Are we reaching a point where waxes won’t be used anymore?
I’m asking myself the same question. The only thing I can think of is there maybe still some people that like applying wax the old school way, but it still doesn’t make sense to me.
That’s what I was thinking as well. And not so much they like it, it’s just what they’ve always known. It seems to have come down to ceramic coatings or spray sealants. As a part time detailer, it’s really changed the way I look at the way I do things.
@@autodetailingpodcast yeah.. it's a Drag to apply a paste wax on a car. Takes forever. Liquid on a DA is quicker but still takes a good while. Spray sealants have saved me so much time its ridiculous. I can detail 2 cars now before with paste waxes I could only do 1 in 2 hours
David Saucedo I have two tins of wax Fusso and Megs Ultimate Paste. After Megs Hybrid Ceramic spray wax I don’t use them any more. Ultimate paste provide little more gloss on unpolished car. In every other way spray is way better and much much fatser to apply. So only makes sense to me these days is high durable ceramic that last 2-3 years or two times a year spray ceramic wax Alternative is maybe cleaner wax with DA to spray wax if car is neglected
What's the point in ceramic wax anyways when they both just work like regular wax and dies just as fast too, I'll either get a real ceramic coating or just a good waxing instead
I noticed with the CG, least on my car that after roughly 3-4 washes it pretty much disappears partially, and this is with PH balanced shampoo. So that's basically 1 months time, as I try to wash my car once a week. Not too happy with the CG ceramic atm, will be trying some from Griot's here shortly, hopefully with better durability.
The CG product is rated to high. The MSRP is 57 I Don't think so! The 3m (Meguiars) is better priced & is correctly Rated. My winner is 3m (Again Meguiars)
To close to justify the extra cost!! U have the best comparisons on TH-cam bro! I would like to see a torture test using a quality wash and wax to see how long that takes to make go flat
Unfair? What would happen if you actually put the same amount on both sides from the start? I just bought a bottle of chemguys stuff, have not used it yet but I have high hope.
From what I've seen it's not *that* bad. Sure, there's better products out there, but it still protects. From what I've seen it excels in gloss so that's a plus? All around I think it's an good product but not amazing. I picked up a bottle myself just to see for myself. I also like trying different waxes and like adding different ones to my collection.
One thing to note is if you have paint chips or scratches and use these products it will seal the clear coat and those paint chips or scratches will never be able to be fixed people need to clarify more
I did a test comparison with 3d POXY (for sheeting), Gyeon WetCoat & Turtle wax seal & shine. Gyeon wetcoat got first in water beading and sheeting, then seal & shine and POXY last . Poxy is WAY Glossier than both though. Gyeon wetcoat is my go to for spray and rinse sealant.
I don’t care what it’s called or what’s in it for that matter. I just want it to work. Thanks for doing what you do and keeping us informed Jimbo.

I tried to give chemical guys so many tries and the benefit of the doubt. Used their diablo wheel cleaner and it stripped the clear coat off my wheels. I tried to used their leather serum and leather cleaner and it both stripped the leather dye in front of my eyes. Never have i seen this in 20 years of detailing my leather. Problem with chemical guys is they try to push out so many products out, they do not have the sufficient R&D in these products (except maybe a few of their car washes). Just because it smells good doesnt mean it's a quality product. Dont let those senses fool you. That said, i could not care less for meguiars either.
Hey Canoeshoe, l know it's a old post 2,yrs.... What do u use now in 2022, lve always valued pros/experienced opinions, Thanks in advance....✌️
@@texmexed8865 I use Sonax ceramic spray with decent results. Even The Last Coat works pretty well. It wears off after a few months though. I was using beadmaker spray but it doesnt last as long, it doesnt bond. For interior cleaning leather/vinyl, i use Carpro inside which is meant for dilution; I also use Lithium inner space. For wheel cleaning, you can Optimum power clean but make sure to dilute it and not let it dry. For paint cleaning, anything that's PH neutral but you can use optimum power clean as a spot treater but be mindful that it's strong stuff.
@@canoeshoe I sure do appreciate u taking the time n to reply, lm going to screenshot it so l can remember, u spoke like a true pro, at 63 u learn to ask the experience as opposed to the hype or this week's flavor...lol l've worked on cars for 30yrs but as a Frame n Bodyman ,so thanks again Sir ✌️
Hey Jimbo, not related to this video but a huge thanks for turning me onto TW seal & shine. Used it on my Suzuki Equator & my wife’s Kia Sorento. One black & one white. And just WOW! Took 30 min total for both and the slickness is amazing. Here in Chicago this time of year the last thing you wanna do is be outside long. Been over a month for the truck and this AM the snow literally just fell right off.
Yeah, I live in the NorthEast and get the snow too...I like the Seal N Shine and The Ceramic Coating spray. The Ceramic Spray seems to
give higher gloss and covers slight swirl scratches along with giving weather protection...Seal N Shine not as much gloss as the ceramic, but it lasts long for a spray wax/polish. Both are equally good in MY opinion. I am going to stay away from these two products Jimbo just gave the torture test to. Not enough protection.
That’s rad. It’s also a chicago based company.
How would the TW seal and shine be against P&S Bead Maker?
Jeff Eppenger I’ve used many products although I haven’t tried bead maker. However this spray wax destroys anything else I’ve used. Here in Chicago we have had rain, snow & -20 windchills and none of them have killed it yet. And the fact that i can do my truck in 20 minutes really can’t be beat.
Jeff Eppenger........BM is very slick and glossy, but no durability. It only last a week or two for me. It’s more of a detail spray. S&S doesn’t have the most gloss, but is among the most durable spray-ons.
There’s not enough difference to pay twice as much for CG.
Living in northern New Hampshire none of that will work . Mountain driving . between mud season snow and pine trees. You gotta be happy half that crap comes off
Ya i only did one coat and the salt took it off in 2 weeks haha on my f150
What do you use?
the CG looks like it runs off a lot faster for sure after getting hammered. Might be worth it?
Decided I'm just going with an actual ceramic coating. Seems like you can't beat it
Interesting. I have yet to use a ceramic product and honestly for the money makes me want to stay old school and continue with the old yellow carnuba 2 times a year with a quick detailer and quick waxes to maintain.
The yellow carnuba works great! I love that stuff! I think it works the best out of all the products I’ve tried!
Do you feel that spray wax offers less protection against road rash from highway travel than a liquid or paste wax? I feel that the process of hand buffing in a traditional wax and waiting for a haze to form before removing, really adds a better barrier against small debris on the road doing damage to the front of the vehicle. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks!
Jimbo can you please tell me what is the best ceramic spray wax/sealant!? I cant decide just want the best price dont matter. Love your videos.
Mckees37 365
Those side by side shots you added were crucial. Love that direct comparison
I got my Meguiar's Liquid Wax on sale for $5 (WalMart). Can't beat the performance for this price.
Great review. Thank you! Is clay-barring the car necessary before applying the ceramic covering?
T Wells absolutely. You don’t want to coat paint with contaminants
Not required, but you'll get the best results if you do. Highly recommend you clay first.
Seal n shine and Fusso coat will be the best for the next few years
Try out the ceramic spray from turtle wax it's awesome! Has better slickness and gloss then seal and shine 👌 I loved using it.
He probably means cost wise but yea, fusso and sealnshine Ftw
I honestly dont think Turtle Wax really knew what they had with the Seal N Shine! It came out at a low price, then when everyone was raving about it, they upped the price. They should have saved introducing that product until this last Vegas convention.
Expected more from Meguiars Liquid Wax but this is on the same level as the Spray version (the famous blue bottle). It is always easy to use the spray if the durability is same
Should apply that in straight lines with minimal pressure and not a circular motion. You're not buffing it, you're applying a coating.
Nothing like a good 3 step with an orbital buffer. That shit wont get into the paint to clean, put back nutrients, and cover with a hard shell coating of wax. Mequiers no2, pre-treatment, no7 resealer glaze, and no 26 wax. That has worked for me for years.
Meguiars seems to water bead better, I personally started using meguiars for my details and I’ve been pretty happy with them
I have use a few of CG products and to be honest it just not that good as many people make it seen (my personal opinion) I have used Maguire's products for years and I have never been disappointed, they just make great detail car products.
Your circular application is giving me anxiety 😂… cross hatch pattern sir!
Meguiars which I enjoy and like the results.
What blower are you using to dry the panel?
It's called a Bhrule blaster they are about £50 in the UK. You get 3 x nossle attachments. I wouldn't be without mine. In the USA I believe they are called Master Blaster. Hope this helps.
The headphone destroyer 5000
Air blower
Don’t apply product in circular motions bud. Any FOD that gets caught under your applicator will create circular scratches which is way harder to buff out.
You guys have it good in the states I have the meguires ceramic wax and here it costs 60 dollars. So whatever you choose just be glad your paying quarter of the price that it is in Australia. Also I love the meguires it works best if you do proper preparation before hand on the car and actually leave it to cure for a period of time instead of taking it straight off
Pro tip use a spray wax or detailer to get it off you can leave it on longer and take it off easier
The Meguair's Liquid SPRAY Wax is THE best thing I've used in the past 10 years. I wouldn't trade it for e absolutely anything else at this point, not a paste, not a spray, not a gel.
Which spray? The detailer or the ceramic wax you spray on a wet car?
@@jeffreylangan344 I was referring to the ceramic spray wax, but I have both the detailer and the wax - and both are amazing! Keep in mind that the detailer is a... well, a detailer, so it will just give a temporary protection.
Error the wax is put 2 to 3 lines on the applicator and applied from side to side up and down, to cover more the area.
I applied Hydro Slick to my new Tesla. Holy cow what a difference. I’ve been driving in the rain for the last few weeks and once I park in the garage everything just sheets off and the car looks freshly washed. I know it won’t last long but so far I’m going on a month with it. I will be using the ceramic car wash to see if I can maintain it for at least through the Sacramento “winter”.
Only thing I use from Chemical guys is their hex logic pads, and that is only because they are cheaper than Meguiars ones, at least in my country. Other stuff from Chemicals is product overlapping, overpriced mess; not worth money or pre purchase research.
Also would go rather for spray ceramic than liquid one. It's is much faster and easier to use.
Thier hex pads are great and well priced here in Australia. My fav pads by far.
Down Under Garage In Europe too, quantum ones are great, though here in Europe there are many brands that have same type of pads now with hole in center. Like Honeycomb Combinatiin, that aren’t know that well but are as good and cheaper than chemicals ones.
I tossed my last 2 bottles of seal n shine in the garbage this weekend. Tired of the streaking on my black truck. I think I will go back to the jescar powerlock plus and beadmaker until the new meguiars stuff comes out in the the beginning of the year
You have to apply it correctly. Out of direct sunlight, cool panel, spray your microfiber towel and not the panel. Too much product will make it streak. I've actually gone to Mckees 37 10min paint sealant. Wipe on and walk away. Can get 30-40 vehicles per bottle.
You might be using too much product and that is what causes the streaking...I am one to go overboard on stuff like that myself...but I listened to everyone and applied less spray and I had no streaking.
TX I wash my truck indoors in an underground parking garage. I always spray directly on towel and never use too much with any product. I always start with less, then do more if needed with any product. I’m very familiar with application processes on a lot of products as well. This is the only stuff I’ve really ever had issues with, as well as a lot of other people. How are you liking the Mckees?
@@24skeemers sorry you're having trouble with it. Ive used 8 bottles of it lol. For the Mckees, I wont use anything else as a mobile detailer. Wipe on and walk away. So quick and easy. The gloss is amazing. I can get around 40 vehicles out of a $40 bottle.
The Meguiar’s is not suppose to haze like traditional waxes. Secondly, there is not cure time after the initial 3-5 minutes.
I wash and wax my car once a week so I feel I don’t need to use anything expensive and long lasting. I’ve even had good results with good old Turtle wax products.
Dang you wax once a week thats too much times you need to wax
As a professional detailer I just bought 5 gallons of professional product for 80 bucks, i mix at 125 parts product to 1 part water... and it still works better than this ...if it's available to the public.... it's probably a rip off
Hey bro do you think is better to use spray wax?..that's what I use all the time..idk but I'm afraid of using those products because they're gonna add an extra layer then it's gonna get hard to clean and remove it.
Jorge Luis I prefer a spray and they’ve proven to be much better then both of these
@@autodetailingpodcast I didn't know that bro, thank you so much for your help and time..u got a follower from NYC.
Chemical guys is better overall. You get what you pay for. To be fair, you would spray all of these harsh chemicals BEFORE doing these ceramics. They look the same almost when you applied them. So with that being said the Meguiars is good for people on a budget. Chemical Guys if you want the best consumer products.
I would go with Meguires because I would re-apply frequently. Question do you have the link/name
for that blower lol 😬
I also want to know what blower your using. Any links?
Think the blower is chemical guys,
I am just guessing based on how some 100% synthetic sealants work. I am thinking the carnauba is coming off but the ceramics are staying behind which is why it still sheets nicely but does not bead. Personally i think sheeting is better as it makes it quicker and easier to dry preventing waterspots. Which is why i loved NXT even though people were wrongly assuming it didnt last because of the lack of beading but because everyone likes beading water everyone is pushing these hybrids.
I've personally found CarPro hydro2 lite and hydro2 to be the best out of any of the top named brands for hydrophobic behaviour.
Mick Holgate I like that but I always have that weird rainbow effect I have to buff off with a microfiber towel which makes it a pain because the. I’m basically waxing like a normal paste wax
Anthony Foley you’re putting too much on them if that’s is what is happening
CG a bit tougher but twice the value? Not for me. I'm, not a pro so I like the safety of the VSS but I use the Turtle was spray ceramic afterwards
The Chemical Guys seemed to fair just a tad better, but your right I want something with more of long lasting effect. Considering my car is ceramic coated anyway I would be looking for something that would boost the longevity and help it last longer than the 5 year warranty.
Finding that the Mother’s’ CMX works the best hands down. 🥃
I have to agree. That stuff is amazing, but you have to have to make sure you wipe it dry before it starts to haze
William Pineo maybe I’m doing it wrong but I found that spraying in on and waiting 10 minutes to let it dry and then wiping it off works amazing. It basically turned to dust and just wiped off.
which is the best car wax? how much months does it lasts??
previously used meguiars ultimate paste wax... is it hybrid liquid ceramic wax better??
Just bought a new GoldWing motorcycle. It's red and I'd like to protect it. What's best way to do it? Just wax or should I wax then ceramic coat it or what? Maybe you could suggest a good brand to go with? I'm patient and can do it myself just wanna know who I should go with like a good kit out there, brand, etc...
A lot of sealants make plastics look good - how does this compare to say armorall shield sealant which brings plastics back to black? ITs my winter go-to.
Ok just a thought to these ppl complaining about these "torture" tests. Firstly you either watched the video and or at least clicked on it. So it peaked your intrest in some way. As for the tests yeah you aren't putting that harsh of chemicals on your vehicle but doesnt this show you how well it will hold up just at an accelerated pace? When you take your car to a car wash or wash it yourself aren't you subjecting it to detergents of some kind? Or simply driving behind another car eating their road grime and any chemicals the road has to offer. I know jimbo benefits from these videos but I'm pretty sure we all take something away from them as well. So I say thank you jimbo screw the haters.
Thanks rock!!
No, it doesn't.
So you want someone to do a video where they wash and wax a car, not have any kind of control in the experiment ( because that's basically what this is, an experiment). Than you want that person to drive the car and wash it regularly over the course of a few weeks or months. And somehow keep it so that there is no change to the environment of said vehicle? At the heart of it this is a scientific experiment. He is going about it in a professional way. To the best of his knowledge he is controlling said experiment/test in a way that doesnt allow change in the process and he accelerates the process by using chemicals that may or may not be equal to chemicals we may encounter on the road and or at car washes. I'd say he is doing a fine job. If you can do something better maybe you should try it out and show everyone instead of complaining and saying he is doing a fine job. I'm willing to bet most people who are complaining also don't agree with politicians or the way something in the world is run. But that same person wont actually try to do something about it. Rant over sorry jimbo
seems like the control area worked better
I applied to the Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Paste and I really liked it! Super forgiving/easy to use. Haven’t torture tested it but it’s on my daily so it will get tortured.
Apex Mobile Detailing & Ceramic Coatings LLC i have me guiarás hybrid ceramic on my daily right now, took it for some highway miles and got some bug splats on it LOL little bit of water and it just cleared off soo easily
If it’s the $10 tub it’s gas!!!
Hey nice review of those products.
Can you do a review of CarPro Cquartz lite?
Its called forensic detailing channel
How will this traslate to real life time and exposure after application? Is not like "regular" people use those iron remover and stuff...just wash and wash after wash..
Which one is best, ceramic coating (Pearl Nano, Gtechniq, ceramic Pro), glass coating (Modesta) or a front paint protective film (XPEL)?
I have use chemical guys and I really love it thank you to them
What is your recommendation for a spray and wipe product?
Don’t know why all the hate towards the hose and nozzle. I wish that you had that water pressure.
I had that water pressure.
Mate to remove any residue try to use proper shampoo not just clear water. Results may be different. TU anyway. Good work.
Jimbo
What air blower you using
Thanks for your videos
Shelandy moto dryer
REALLY LIKED YOUR EXPERIMENT
Question: In this day and age, where do liquid waxes fall in the detailing world? It seems spray sealants outlast and are easier to apply. Are we reaching a point where waxes won’t be used anymore?
I’m asking myself the same question. The only thing I can think of is there maybe still some people that like applying wax the old school way, but it still doesn’t make sense to me.
That’s what I was thinking as well. And not so much they like it, it’s just what they’ve always known. It seems to have come down to ceramic coatings or spray sealants. As a part time detailer, it’s really changed the way I look at the way I do things.
@@autodetailingpodcast yeah.. it's a Drag to apply a paste wax on a car. Takes forever. Liquid on a DA is quicker but still takes a good while. Spray sealants have saved me so much time its ridiculous. I can detail 2 cars now before with paste waxes I could only do 1 in 2 hours
David Saucedo I have two tins of wax Fusso and Megs Ultimate Paste. After Megs Hybrid Ceramic spray wax I don’t use them any more. Ultimate paste provide little more gloss on unpolished car. In every other way spray is way better and much much fatser to apply.
So only makes sense to me these days is high durable ceramic that last 2-3 years or two times a year spray ceramic wax
Alternative is maybe cleaner wax with DA to spray wax if car is neglected
What's the point in ceramic wax anyways when they both just work like regular wax and dies just as fast too, I'll either get a real ceramic coating or just a good waxing instead
I noticed with the CG, least on my car that after roughly 3-4 washes it pretty much disappears partially, and this is with PH balanced shampoo. So that's basically 1 months time, as I try to wash my car once a week. Not too happy with the CG ceramic atm, will be trying some from Griot's here shortly, hopefully with better durability.
Outside of these two what would you actually deem worthy of lasting for a while after application?
The CG product is rated to high. The MSRP is 57 I Don't think so! The 3m (Meguiars) is better priced & is correctly Rated. My winner is 3m (Again Meguiars)
after torture tests of all these products, i want to know which products jimbo recommends!!!
Turtle Wax Ice Seal & Shine
Do a comparison between the chemical guys hrdro slick vs the new turtle wax ne hybrid ceramic coating
La pregunta es , cuantas horas tienes que dejar el carro reposando para poder mojar .. es la pregunta . La pueden contestar.
@John D no ingles
Vicente Ruelas tienes que dejarlo por lo menos 24 horas
John D he say how many hours need to cure
@@chamodetail , entoses la tienda me mintio me dijeron que 3 horas y pz no kiero tener problemas con mis clientes muchas gracias.
To close to justify the extra cost!! U have the best comparisons on TH-cam bro! I would like to see a torture test using a quality wash and wax to see how long that takes to make go flat
I didn't see it that way. His comments played it that way but if you ignore what he says and watched the results, the CG product was much better.
The chem guys definitely is nice I got it a few days back and tested it out and was very impressed
Unfair?
What would happen if you actually put the same amount on both sides from the start?
I just bought a bottle of chemguys stuff, have not used it yet but I have high hope.
Chemical guys is the way to go. We only use them on our cars. If you watch a video on how to apply it properly it is amazing.
With the high just like you’re not supposed to swirl it in your supposed to do it crosshatch style.
Awesome video, would love to see the difference between the high dollar tiny bottle brands....
first off, those tiny bottle brands are actual ceramic coatings 9/10 times. nothing about either of the products in this vid is ceramic.
I no i tested the chemical guys vs the cleaner wax and they lost it say 12 months i just used water and did not make it a day
Brother in law kills me because he's a cg fanboy so picked up hydroslick for a Christmas present....ahhh the things we do for family
From what I've seen it's not *that* bad. Sure, there's better products out there, but it still protects. From what I've seen it excels in gloss so that's a plus? All around I think it's an good product but not amazing. I picked up a bottle myself just to see for myself. I also like trying different waxes and like adding different ones to my collection.
I’ll stick with Nufinish twice a year and a quality car wash soap and quick wax / detail spray in between
One thing to note is if you have paint chips or scratches and use these products it will seal the clear coat and those paint chips or scratches will never be able to be fixed people need to clarify more
Carpro lite vs chemical guys hybrid wax, Carpro lite is more in a kit but has a 150ml bottle and you can find the kit for about $55 usd
If you use there spray wax spray on and wipe off be the best wax you will use yes im saying dont spray on and wash off then dray
I did a test comparison with 3d POXY (for sheeting), Gyeon WetCoat & Turtle wax seal & shine.
Gyeon wetcoat got first in water beading and sheeting, then seal & shine and POXY last . Poxy is WAY Glossier than both though.
Gyeon wetcoat is my go to for spray and rinse sealant.
Lol you applied the chemical guys one wrong it says right on the bottle cross hatching pattern no circular motions...
Same thing.... it won’t make a difference.
Hope your right as I bought the Maguires spray and haven't used it yet. Good video. Thanks
What camera are you using at the beginning of the video? Looks great!
Damn this video blew up!!!! Congratulations
Thanks
What spray would you recommend then?
Spray ceramic? Go with either lithium ceramic slam, or griots 3-1 ceramic wax!!
