I use this. Not every time but in the winter more often. I have found it to be similar to the Auto Finesse aqua coat. You can spray it on and hit it with a pressure washer and it does the same thing at a 1/4 of the cost! Great video as always Jon! (edit: mine does bead when worked in with pressure washer)

Good, honest, non pretentious review Jon. I use it as a clay lube and I've never had any problems using it that way or as a detail spray on the door shuts and so on. Its ideal for someone on a budget or someone getting into car care. Any paint protection is better than none at all.

I love the stuff! It's one product I swear by! It gets rid of any water spots, leaves a great finish and give you a good bead. I highly recommend this!

Been waiting for someone to do a video on this for agaes well done 👏

The smell of this stuff is addictive, usually use this throughout the winter months. Also find the coverage and ease of use with the trigger is far superior compared to other high ends I've bought. Managed to get these 1 litre bottles for £1.25 each in Wilkinsons when they randomly reduced them so I bought 6.

That's insanely cheap

Used it for a couple of years on the daily driver. Works well and easy to use in winter when it’s cold and damp. Never as good as a proper wax, but keeps a 20, 000 mile a year car shiny through the year. Great review

Hit the nail on the head there. It's great as a cheap detail spray, buffs to a decent enough shine.

100% agree, as a weekend warrior this gets the car some short term protection/top up especially in winter. It can be applied when the car is wet or dry. I've used this for years and it lasts ages because you don't need much. my last bottle was 4 quid in Aldi... and it's quick😁

Bought this about 5 years ago, used it all and have been using the bottle/trigger ever since, the trigger has outlasted both autosmart and autoglym triggers. Says a lot

Great video review we use the trade version that you get from halfords, when we do the last mile pre delivery clean on customer cars at Cinch. Customer always seem happy with the shine when it arrives so job done i guess. Could you do a review on the trade Valet range from carplan.

Great as a drying aid for a car that’s been detailed previously. It’s only snobbery that would put people off but it’s great value. Excellent review 👍🏻

Great review. I’ve tried it seemed fine. I like to try lots of products and I’ve gone for the gyeon. The spray bottle is excellent quality, I’ve reused it and it’s still going strong.

I'm a first time user of this product and I must agree with your review 😊 It works wonderfully easy for someone who dont won't to spend hours polishing there car, 🤔🇬🇧👍

Used this for years along with expensive products and I rate it also use it as a rinse aid and I like buying the pour on shine and diluting it in the bottle and using it like that

I bought "Demon Shine" on the strength of your review Jon...an absolutely excellent product which I cannot recommend highly enough!!! The next wash will be the real test to see how it goes...

In my opinion, I think this stuff is great and does serve a purpose. If you're out at a car show and want it to look good, spray on and wipe off. Takes less than 10 minutes to do the entire car and will look great for the rest of the day.

Mate brought me the Demon Shine valet pack as a Bday present, will be using it as a rinse aid👍🏼.

The "Hum A Did ditty" 😂 remember clip from 'it will be alright on the night'? 😂 Love your videos man!

Morrisons were selling the kits off a couple of years ago for £5, I will use it in door jams etc. Interesting though!

Used to use this all the time , but I use Carplan super gloss now , gives a far better shine and lasts longer.

Been using this stuff for years on my daily. Does the job, but the letting it dry and buff is a toptip.

Tbh it’s works well I picked it for b&m from £2.50 must say I was impressed. And at the Price point you can be generous with your sprays!

I use it as a quick detailer on the daily drive. It does bead and offer some protection, but in reality it only lasts a week before losing its shine or protection. Which is ok for a cheap product to use on a regular basis for a car that’s constantly in use :-). Another great vid though John.

Another great video Jon and many thanks for your informative reviews. I have a dark car and live in a hard water area. Plagued by water spots I bought a bottle some time ago upon recommendation from a neighbour and love this stuff as a drying aid. I wash and rinse the car thoroughly and spray on while still wet. It leaves a great shine and removes water marks easily. A cheap solution, which works well for me.

Been using this product for a few years now and it always brings the car up nice...

Can we hear your wife at the end of the video Jon summoning you? Haha... another fantastic video. Keep up the excellent content mate👍👌👍

@forensicdetailing The great thing about these Carplan bottles is the screw thread which is exactly the same as a snow foam cannon bottle. I save these bottles when empty and use them with different formulas in when detailing. Snow foam at the start of a wash, then change over to a snow foam cannon application polymer sealant solution for the final coat before drying with the microfibre. Also great for an APC solution when I've got heavily contaminated commercial vehicle fleets to clean and need something to really start working on that road film. Save your carplan bottles and use them with your snow foam cannon !! Great video by the way, thanks for posting.

Don’t use to much = no streaking A couple of spritzes per panel

I use as drying aid but after I wash car and rinse I then spray all over windows and all then rinse of with pressure washer and no smearing or streaking and acts like window sealant. Also makes easier to then dry as very water repellent. Lasts around 1 week

That stuff smells lovely too!

For a fiver from B&M it’s not bad at all. My black Civic Type R FK8 came up good after I applied Demon Shine Spray on Shine. When you’ve got two young kids and can’t spend all day detailing the motor properly, this stuff is the next best thing.

I buy the carplan trade valet high wax rinse which I think is the same thing but even cheaper, and I dilute it down as a rinse and drying aid and safety net when drying off. Sometimes even after a snow foam and a contact wash with two buckets and a rinse or two on a paint colour that hides dirty well (e.g. Aston Meteorite silver) I may have missed some dirt, so knowing this is on the paint as a a rinse aid means any area that is still holding water is usually still dirty even if it is just a fine surface dusting, not a grit. If I see an area with water still clinging, I touch it gently with the microfibre cloth. If after this the cloth is dirty I go back to the bucket and wash and rinse the section again and repeat with this stuff to check the panel is clean . So basically I use it as a sacrificial product as extra safety when doing a contact wash on cars colours that hide dirt well.

O/T but glad the intro was back at the start of the vid! Interesting result !

As below I do the same ,pour some In A watering can,then pour over a wet car and most of the water is gone. Halfords sell it as hi rinse wax ,about a tenner for 5 litres

Good stuff as an interim shine product. I also like their tyre shine product too 😎

I’ve been using this to remove water marks or poor buffing streaks the day following a wash and sorts the car right out. The gloss doesn’t last but it’s got it’s purpose.

I would recommend Autobrite Direct Top Gloss instead of this. Works in a very similar way, only slightly more £ but leaves a much better gloss finish. Great product

Also good as a clay lube. Cheapest in B&M

In the states we tend to use meguiars last touch detailing spray. About $24 for a gallon.

You looked at a black car under lights, for £5 it looked like it did a good job. I have a bucket full of Car Plan products, they bring our cars up to a very acceptable level. I use their shampoo, then spray this on at the end and I’m very happy with what it does. I have a T6 which would normally take a long time to do, I have 3 young children so my time is at a premium. This allows me some protection of the paint which I can do in 30 mins or so, that’s crucial for me. I cleaned my mountain bike the other day and blacked the tyres up at the end, my 4 year old bike looked brand new, it really did a great job so much so, that I’d been looking for a new bike but now have stopped looking.

i use it as a regular alloy wheel freshen up to get rid of brake dust but my alloys are Gtechniq protected anyway

I absolutely agree. When I was a child washing my dad's car for him we used the Demon Wheels cleaner and it just did nothing at all (despite, if memory serves, being an acid cleaner).

I've had two of these from when the demon kits were a fiver at Morrisons all those years ago. Still using the bottles and trigger sprayers. Only reason I wouldn't buy again is because TW Dry And Shine is better value because it lasts so long.

My go to favourite is AutoSmart 'Cobalt', bloody love that stuff, but it's not cheap and you have to buy it in 5 litres direct from AutoSmart, which my hubby gets for me and I have to use it sparingly 🙈😏 So especially in winter I like to look for cheaper alternatives and wondered if this was any good

Cheers raffa benitaz good video

I can be a bit of a weekend warrior when the mood takes me and like to to use this product when clay baring the car

I have used many car plan products most are ok for their value ,I wonder how good the pound shop range of car products is .

As you said better shine when left, Would be interested in re testing hydroscopic???? after left for few hours to cure/dry

People always hate on Demon products but forget that they're literally £5 a bottle... what other spray on shine are you going to get for £5? Most decent shine sprays or coatings are £15+ and are obviously going to give better results than Demon Shine. However, for the price, you simply cannot go wrong - used this for years and does it exactly what it says. Just doesn't last very long

Tbh I agree with this review 100%. It’s an easy to use, cheap, convenient product. Wouldn’t use it as a protectant no way. Rinse aid - yes. On the go QD - yes Cheap cars (not my own) - yes People who don’t care about their car - yes Door jams and bonnet seal - yes I think it’s an all round good product. It’s just marketed wrong by car plan. If it was advertised as a quick detailer it would make more sense. But I suppose it’s aimed at the non detailing market where a quick gloss is what they want. Fits a lot of needs though.

I found that product demon shine years ago fantastic product.

I use demon shine on my already clean engine bay as its cheap as chips and keeps up with the regular maintenance of it

I swear by this stuff. It’s great.

It's a cheap product work nice on good paintwork. But don't expect miracles if your paint is slightly dull. It's a quick temporary shine doesn't last long but a top up of an already decent paint job.

The detailing spray my dad has been using for years is my mum's "Mr Sheen" (works for him). Horses for courses!

It does an decent enough job for the price point but detail sprays that look great, add a little protection and bead are hardly too expensive to go with instead. Infinity Wax Rapid Detailer is £17.99 in the pro bottle for example. That is more money of course but it’s £17.99, not £100!
