Chem X Snake Oil Review | Tips and Tricks | Stay Slick
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video we are checking out one of the heavy hitters in Spray on Rinse off paint sealants. @ChemX Snake oil is a foam cannon applied ceramic foam paint sealant that claims to provide up to 90 days of paint protection and water beading. Lets put this product to the test and compare it to my current favorite “Touchless” by Mirror Finish Polishes.

Thanks for taking the time to make this. I bought a gallon of Touchless based off your review and have been super happy I’ve used it for 8-10 washes so far and it works killer !

Hey man. Good review ! I can say these foam n rinse can cause streaks or water spots in direct sun if they dwell very long. I always Foam n rinse immediately then dry immediately as well. Good stuff man. Btw, I believe Snake Oil is 30% sio2. Not certain, you can reach out to Bob over there. I'm sure he'd love to chat about his stuff. Have a good one!

Hi there can you do a video taking care of the interior (leather) ? Regards
1st thing I noticed is you're spraying every which way. Keep it steady and go left to right like your painting the trailer and go up each time you make a pass to try to keep it even as possible. Then make sure you rinse it really good going down and the dwell time is only 30 to 60 Seconds. I would say on a Black trailer in the sun no more than 30 seconds. Also it does help if you have more pressure and I noticed the foam Cannon is not putting out the snake oil like it should be. Snake oil is actually really foamy if you have enough pressure and enough gallons per minute. Tweak it just a little bit and you may find some good results from that or at least better results. Also, dilute it back down to where it should be. I know you said you like it strong and that may be part of it as well. Like I said, tweak it and play with it.

Good info. Unfortunately I have tried this product every which way since recording this video at different dilutions and in different foam cannons and it still has ceased to impress me like mirror finish touchless. Touchless is the superior product In that category especially at the price.
I see that Shine Supply product on the shelf!

Out of all the spray on rinse off paint sealants you have tested - which one offers the most protection and longevity? Thanks and keep up the good work for us detail gurus
@StaySlick
2 жыл бұрын
As I stated in the video paint sealants that are spray on don’t really shine in the longevity department. That’s really more reserved for liquid paint sealant but I have noticed that most often are around the same protection which is 30 to 90 days. I have personally seen auto NV matrix last that long and Mirror Finish touchless as well.
I got me 2 gallons of touch less and let me tell you it works. The best product I've ever bought.

Indeed it is, I detail cars every weekend an the only thing I use now is a blower to dry them. I do my best to keep them out the sun with this texas weather☀️
Great video! Using touchless for past month on your recommendations. Really like this product but on some cars after the the rinse then dry I see streaks have to go over and wipe dry just like on snake oil issue. Any suggestions on eliminating streaking after the rinse/dry?
@StaySlick

Most of the time it’s goi g to leave something. These sio2 products all do that. The trick I’ve learned is to blow off most of the water but leave enough to eliminate the streaks when using a drying towel. Mainly I see the streaks on glass.
Subscribed. Great videos. Does this or Mirror Finish Ceramic Spray & Rinse completely replace using Tech Choice 582 or Bead Maker toppers for someone like me who is simply a home detail enthusiast? My vehicles have Turtle Wax Ceramic as the primary base protectant. Thanks and Stay Slick

Yup. That trailer will be slick because it says it stays slick on the side. Jk. Love touchless and have used chem x too. Although Chem x works well it is expensive so I'd prefer the touchless

Slick, I like the mirror less touch less. However, I noticed some spots after using. Is there an easy remedy to remove afterwards or does it require paint correction?
@StaySlick
Жыл бұрын
A handful of people have told me that they noticed spots I have never had this issue at least none that were non-removable the ones that I did see came off with a detail spray right after the wash. I’m not sure if maybe some people are using too much or letting it sit too long but like I said I haven’t had that issue myself
This is good but Touchless is less expensive and does a better job.

I tried Snake oil on different vehicles, different scenarios and it doesn’t last at all. First wash after 1 week with a ph neutral soap and the waterbeading and slickness is completely gone and applying something like this on everything wash is pointless.

Miguel listen. This is a comparison video of sorts. If snake oil is 3 times the price as other similar products (touchless, wet coat, punch it) and those other products perform as expected at these amounts then why should I give snake oil a pass for under performing. just cuz Chem x is popular and has a cult following? Not gonna happen man. In my opinion it works fine not amazing. Ps I’ve never had streaking issues with any of those other products. Have a good mine man Stay Slick 🤙🏽

No you listen.. So if it’s too expensive hate on it??? That’s what it sounds like from your reply. All I said was they put it on heavy and you put it on there so lightly that it was a bad comparison on your video so don’t tell me about no cult following if your just being cheap about it

Youre missing the point bud. There’s com petition in the market of detailing products. So if there is a similar product that can deliver better results with less product at a lower price it will always win.
