Ethos DEFY - Waterless wash as a topper, visual appeal, durability and slickness tested!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Today we test out Ethos DEFY, a waterless wash and multi-purpose protectant. We're going to find out what happens when you put it on top of Turtle Wax Seal n Shine and Wolfgang Deep Gloss 3. Will the slickness increase from a waterless wash? Will it look better or worse than the other products on their own? How long will the products last topped with DEFY?

I think you are the first person to actually put real data on stacked products. It was fascinating to in the way they behaved, and I was not expecting those outcomes. Thanks for that.

Great in depth review, I’m between Defy and Topper as my topper after weekly washes. I tend to see more life in Defy and less dust for sure..
That's a great test..seeing how products interact great idea..

Thanks! I like seal n shine too, definitely a solid product.
Awesome video, really enjoy the in depth testing. Did you get any streaking with defy? I used it quite some time ago but got some streaking so that kinda turned me off to the product. Might just be my environment. Gonna play with it some more after watching your video, thanks for sharing and keep em' coming! Big fan of your channel.

I really had no streaking issues and I felt like I sprayed a lot on. It may depend on direct sunlight, humidity, etc…

Thanks Richard :). I have the Uber rinseless to test too, we will see how it holds up!
GREAT video! Have you tried Ethos Resist? What are your thoughts? Thanks so much!!
Thank you
I normally keep up with defy once a week I feel like if I don’t then not keeping up with will not keep its slickness idk I mean.. how often do most keep up with the topper? I almost feel like if you live in a state where it doesn’t rain a lot the product will last longer
Dmitry please try Sonax Spray and Seal and check the slickness level 👌

Good seeing you again :), will add a vote for the Sonax Spray & Seal to my sheet. Thanks!
Being your using this as a topper can you compare it to xtreme solutions topper?
I think the best way to check slickness is by using a buffing pad. I can set a Griots correcting pad on my 01 Audi TT and it will not just set there. When I used Defy.
Wolfgang waterless car wash (Uber blue) can make a decent detailer, it has some sio2 but really for the money just use the normal wash as a detailer, you get several gallons for the price.

Mckess sio2 is my go to ww
Curious how it lightly cleans and looks by itself?

I didn’t test the cleaning, but it looks good on its own. Not show car level depth and pop, but definitely makes paint look prettier.
How did this product compare with Jersey Devil ? Which do you prefer ?

Steven, I didn’t run the same exact tests, but the Jersey Devil is very pretty, but does not last as long on its own.

I tried Ethos Defy and hated it. Very streaky, cheap sprayer mists product with half blowing away, not the best gloss or slickness and after application, my car had a lot of water spotting from rain water.
