Thank you Sandro for all your time and effort you put into putting these videos together testing products.I have almost finished detailing my car using products and techniques you have demonstrated on your videos.

I've been waiting for your thoughts on these. Love your style, presentation, and articulated descriptions. I could easily watch an hour video of you talking about anything. Thanks for all you do Sandro, you've taught me a lot.

Thanks Sandro for sharing this content. Love to watch all your product comparisons

Applied the Meguiars and was very impressed by the ease of application and it is super slick. Will be topping it off with Meg's M799 or Nv Lustre just to see if it will add more gloss as i have some left.

Great vid! I was able to pick the Meg's up on sale last fall for $20. Great product.

this is awesome! both can coat and hybrid paint coating are so tempting while everyone knows sonax has always been a giant in the industry. thanks for your work, bro! cheers!

I’m really impressed with Maguires I think I’m going to test this out on my vehicle! Thank you for the awesome demo 👊

It‘s honestly one of the most rewarding things in being a product tester and content creator to see other well respected testers coming ti the same conclusions. I simply couldn‘t agree more on everything you said about Meguiar‘s Hybrid Paint Coating. It really really is the king if easy to apply coatings in terms of user experience. In regards to Sonax CC36, there are three things I wanted to add. First, it‘s durability claim is actually up to 36 months - hence the name. Plus, the gloss coat layer isn‘t actually a „ceramic“ product, it‘s a polymer one. That‘s why, as you said, if you see hydrophobics fail, you really can just reapply that one. Third, and most importantly, CC36 doesn‘t need any cure time after the application of the gloss coat, which means it‘s an almost ideal product for outside application and mobile detailers. I still would recommend giving it a few hours, but it theoretically can get wet right away. Considering how much you liked CC36, I‘d recommend you try CC Evo.

Wie schaut eigentlich der Test von CC one vs den Meguiars aus

Something you forgot to say about meguiars hybrid paint coating is it doesn't have a shelf like like 99% of the coatings out there which after being used once the coating won't last past a year in the bottle, hybrid paint coating can last 5+ years in the can and it won't go bad so there's a lot of value for someone who is only working on his personal car

I was really looking forward to your thoughts on the Meguiars hybrid paint coating. So thanks for that! I stocked up on a few bottles on sale for around 30 USD on sale. At least here in the states it’s really hard to beat it’s value even at full price. For someone who likes doing a light polish every year or two I can’t think of an easier solution. I also use toppers like NV Boost or Megs Ceramic detailer with great results.

Thank you for another EXCELLENT comparison video. I’ve been detailing on the side and worked as an automotive technician for about 11 years up until last year. I unfortunately lost my job at a local body shop, which led to an opportunity 3 months later to rent a 55x12ft. warehouse bay with electric, water hook up and floor drainage so I could take my professional detailing & paint correction services full time… I decided to take the leap and give it a chance since mobile detailing through winter in Vermont with a small Mitsubishi is not doable.

Pretty much shut down during the winter . Looking to build a garage at home being that it's hard to justify renting a garage when only doing it as a side hustle.

Great review, BUT, can you test self-cleaning properties? Maybe let the panel sit outside for 2-weeks, then hose it down, blow it dry and see which side of the panel looks the cleanest? Self cleaning properties/ Touchless cleaning is the #1 factor I look for in coatings, fewer touches, = less swirls/scratches etc,

Nice to see meguiars has improved and comparable to the more expensive stuff now. I don't mind spending more on a good product, but when I'm going to use it so sparingly over a multi-year basis... eh...

Superb, superb review that I have been waiting for a long time! Thank you my friend for the work done! 👍 👍 👍.. I like meguiar's HPC. It is a superb alternative to ceramic coating. Not super expensive for the capacity, the ipa, the applicator and microfibers. This makes it a good 1+ year coating. Because I know two people with meguiar's HPC on their cars, one who drove it daily and without maintaining it to perfection and was up to 1 year and 3 months old, the other drives daily too but with a very upkeep of the coating and has been up to almost 2 years! Meguiar's should thank you because thanks to you I think the sales of meguiar's HPC will be boosted!

Thanks for a great comparison Sandro 👍 it's terrible how much it costs for you to get non local products in your neck of the woods. I picked up a couple of the Meguiars boxes for 20$ on sale here. I kinda want to see how much it would cost to send something to you. I use Undrdog Pro as my coating of choice and it is such an amazing product and would love to hear your thoughts on it.

I love the new way you make your videos! I can vouch for Sonax coating, I applied it on my dads Audi A7 (with hard paint). The coating is supposed to last up to 36 months, but it was applied about 4 years ago now, and topped only with Sonax BSD and it's working like a charm. The price shocked me however, it is far far cheaper in Europe!!!

Yes. Same Problem here in Germany. A lot of fantastic products like BC 1 are not available here. But if you find someone who is willing to send it, the price of shipping is much to expensive.

To put things in perspective, CC36 (the high-volume version with 250ml of basecoat) costs NT$7500 here in Taiwan. That's $356 AUD and that's after a 50% discount! Meguairs Hybrid Paint Coating, on the other hand, has a "cheap" price tag of NT$2000 or $95 AUD. (Can Coat is not retailed here and as such, is priceless.)

Amazing video as always.. could we get a comparison like this for hydrophobic glass cleaners? i feel like all i hear about is RainX.. but its an old product so surely something better exists now

Nameless?…. Lookin at you P and S😳love can coat. Love it! Tricky in humidity is the only drawback. I use Cancoat 2 layer on my Mom’s garaged black Lexus and it’s perfect for my pops to take care of.

Жыл бұрын

Thanks mate and yes I do intend on doing some videos going over the best or at least my personal favourite products

I had never done a coating or anything even remotely like that before. I probably had washed my cars by hand maybe two or three times in my entire life. I used Gyeon CanCoat EVO on my new car a few months ago and it was super easy for a COMPLETE newbie in a limited space with below average lighting. It took my son and I about 2.5 hours to do the entire mid-sized SUV - I reckon we could have gotten it down to 90 minutes if we were a bit more confident and put our foot down, but I'd say to give yourself two hours. Our car is red, so it's kind of in the middle in terms of "forgiveness" with respect to poorly applied products which was a risk for us because we had almost no idea what we were doing beyond watching Sandro, Pan, Brian from Apex, and a few others apply coatings countless times. There were a couple of high spots due to the poor lighting and our inexperience and we picked them up about 18 hours later when we took the car out into the sun for an inspection. Removing the high spots was pretty easy actually - for the minor one here and there, a quick spritz of Gyeon Prep on a plush microfiber and they buffed out instantly. Not kidding, one or two passes of the cloth was all that was needed. There was one "significant" high spot by the driver's side passenger door handle and we just re-applied some CanCoat EVO to an applicator, went over that entire door again, and buffed it off - it came out perfect. One thing that can't be understated with CanCoat EVO is how absolutely ridiculously rich it can make your paint look. Like I said, we had a metallic red paint but after applying CanCoat EVO and letting it cure, the additional colour saturation is magnificent. It's so much deeper and rich of a red. I went back to the dealership a few days later to pick something up and even the sales guy was like, "Man, that paint looks terrific." Without turning this into an ad for Gyeon, but if you want to make your CanCoat EVO coated car pop with gloss, every second wash, hit it with Gyeon Ceramic Detailer - legitimately, it's other worldly for gloss on top of the CanCoat. That said, the Meguires looks really nice, thanks for the tip, Sandro!

Hey Sandro! Love like always these videos you effortly put in your channel to give us nice information. Ill feedback to you some tips about CanCoat applying the older version and the newer: as it is a spray coating it is made to be easy to apply and in fact you can coat a car in 20 minutes. How? The secret is on the microfobre it brings. You apply 3 or 4 sprays on the towel, apply and buff to level it out. Simple. Applying with applicator is unneceseraly and time-product consuming. Try it that way and you will se a big difference. Cant wait for anothr video of you! Keep it up my man.

Hi Sandro, thanks for product testing on these 3 spray ceramic sealants. As I have never applied a ceramic coating, I'm a little confused and trying to understand the difficulty in applying the product to the applicator by the liquid from a bottle and the spray from a can. Being a spray product, can it be sprayed directly onto the paint, and then spread out with the applicator? Maybe I'm just missing the concept of a spray ceramic product. Cheers.

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing One of the other advantages of a spray can is shelf life. Once you open a bottle of coating, the clock starts ticking which matters if you buy a larger bottle and don't use all the product in a short period of time. The aerosol can allows products like Meguiars to have a long shelf life as it only begins to "cure" once sprayed. You can recoat your car over several years with one can, in theory.

@CarCraftAutoDetailing

4 ай бұрын

Thanks Larry, and I’ve had no issue combining/layer products with various traditional, ceramic or graphene content, in fact may brands do make waxes, sealants and coatings containing a variety of SiO2, graphene and more traditional polymers combined in the same product. If keeping Meguiars HPC’s hydrophobicity at peek, something like Meguiars own Hybrid Ceramic Detailer could be worth using - alternatively the new version of their Ultimate QD is meant to be far more hydrophobic also having a hybrid polymer bend of ingredients like Hybrid Paint Coating.

Question - I had Gyeon Infinite Evo applied professionally on my car. Once yearly I am supposed to top it off with CanCoat. Honestly this looks a bit intimidating. Could the Meguair's be used to top off the Gyeon coating? Ive heard on several detailing channels that ceramic coatings tend to be compatible, but that its probably best to stick with the brand you have as a base. But if I am going to screw up the top off, leave high spots and ruin the finish, it doesent make sense to stick to that brand right?

It’s really one of those things that’s very subjective and you will get different answers and opinions from everyone. I think it’s important to feel comfortable with what you’re working with and many of us that apply coatings for a living sometimes forget that’s there’s a learning curve we too had to go through. The Meguiars seems to look, feel and behave not all that differently to Can Coat so I feel it may in fact work just fine as a topper in your case and also give you a more friendly and forgiving application saving you some stress.

I liked video when i saw the thumbnail.

To me the best test before application is 2💧💧 over glass to see how much real silica or quartz silane is in the product. So far Gyeon is the only one with real ceramic even the spray nozzles get clogged.

It's just $50-$60 here in the USA and after conversion that works out to $73-$87 AUD. But you paid twice that. Just curious if you know. Second, if these products degrade after only 2 or 3 washes with Multi X (and other similar chemicals) then what is the benefit of it in the end? Isn't a a cheaper version of them (TW Seal n Shine, or other spray waxes, hand applied waxes, point being shorter duration protection products, etc) the better/more cost effective alternative? I personally have used MHPC and loved it. But I also don't like long lasting protection products (6 month +). I love the once a month or every other wash application of protection.

My pleasure mate and my guess is that Meguiars is so expensive here because the Aussie distributor is placing huge markups. Multi-X or really most stronger APCs shouldn’t be used and certainly not in an aggressive physical manner to clean a coating, they really aren’t maintenance products. Chemical resistant tests of sorts are conducted by many brands to predict durability. If you enjoy reapplying paint protection products more often there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, it’s really more of a personal thing, and in the end the market decides what people want and whether or not certain types of products will sell.

I'd go for 2 coats of the Can Coat Evo and, like yourself, I'd take about 60+ minutes per coat. Haste makes waste.

How long do you have leave can coat between coats?

I think that would be something I’d test out. It’s just so slick and replies everything to start with that I think maybe waiting a few washes to top it would work out better.

Don’t add any of the other Meguiar’s products over HPC. Only exception is the Hybrid ceramic detailer and M799. But HPC will reject those products for probably a good 6 months. Once HPC starts to decline you can restore some of the hydrophobics with these.

Hey something noone has bothered to mention is what if anything can you do to reduce the number of cloths and applicators you burn through when coating a car? How many panels or sections IS a suede cloth or MF good for? Is there anything I could immediately soak them in until I can get them into the wash? Cheers 🎉

I have covered those topics in a few of detailing vlogs, but typically you should change your suede clothes every 1/2hr or use about 4 per car. You can put your wiping cloths in warm soapy water immediately after use and get some more uses from them but they will still degrade to some extent. I typically use sone good affordable short pile cloth that when bough in bulk are about a dollar each - and just dispose of them after coating use.

I like carpro lite with carpro gliss v2. This makes for an excellent durable and super hydrophobic coating!. But if you want a coating that is easy to apply and with excellent durability then I can only recommend gyeon q2 mohs evo

7:04 Dang, you can really see the darkening effect of CanCoat on this panel. 10:52 Oh Sandro, I noticed right away that the Sonax was a touch above the rest, and that's saying a lot because CanCoat is very hydrophobic! But then again I'm not your regular person, and I'm a bead chasing maniac. It's not unexpected, though as Sonax has always been top notch and I've been blown away by a couple of their products (Germans are just amazing). 17:12 - 18:11 AMEN BROTHER! I could mention a massive name that's the biggest offender here, but I'll keep it to myself lol. I've already had discussions with him on his page about another topic, to which he implied I was wrong but then ended up giving me an answer that invalidated the whole thread and proved my initial point, beating himself alongside me without even noticing. Oh and he's THE industry leading "expert" that looks down upon the rest, while way more actually knowledgeable and talented detailers out there just share their passion and info without any smoke and mirrors or misleading content, kinda like you ;). Thanks for the content man, I'd always wondered what their ceramic coating was like, but didn't see any reviews anywhere and I didn't wanna be the guinea pig for it. I still to this day always keep some BSD on hand for use as a drying aid/"topper" as it's one of the most hydrophobic, bang for buck products out there, and the gardenia smell is second to none. Also, Perfect Finish has to be my most used abrasive ever. It's my go to for pretty much all 2 stage corrections, and most of my one steps as well (some times I'll have to jump to something harsher if I'm working on hammered and/or harder finishes to 1 step, but 90% of the time it's just SPF with a yellow rupes). Love the super soft modern Range Rovers, as their colors are beautiful and they can be pretty dang hammered and still come out near perfect with just the SPF/Yellow rupes combo because it's such soft clear, and that combo finishes down haze free with the proper technique and specially easy if I'm working in the shop with the A/C on.

Never saw these in the States.. doesn’t help me much!

Why don’t you wash away the chemicals in between tests? You’re leaving surfactants on the surface and not showing the true coatings

@snail415

Жыл бұрын

I’ll defend it. It’s probably because if any chemicals are going to be on the surface while you’re driving, you aren’t pulling over to give it a beauty wash. The point is to show resilience and resistance against the same ‘attack’ of chemicals in a progressive manner.

Meguiars 50$ on Amazon.

Would be interested in taking longer amount of time than they say; in other words, push the bounds. Thank you.
