We live in a weird world. Some of the most useless videos get millions views and informative videos like this one (and many other car detailing videos by experts) hardly get any views. It's sad. I love my car and I always want it looking at it's best. I wish I had a car detailing experts like you who could take care of my car in my part of the world.

I think most People haven’t got a clue how much time you have invested in the Production and Testing of these Care Care Products. I Truly Enjoy watching Your Videos!!

Great review. Super interesting and informative. Thanks so much for taking the time to post. As usual...one of the best reviewers on the Tube.

Good job Sandro, thank you for all you do for the Detailing community.

You covered any and every imaginable question I may have had. Thank you, Sandro!

Super content, chief. Your time and insight are quite valuable to me, and so I appreciate the time, and resources, you choose to put into them. Coffee incoming. Thank you very much.

Great review as always. As a detailer my self I can’t imagine how long it would take to do these videos and how you find the time to do them as well as work, family life ect is just beyond me. I think your reviews are by far the best on KZread and I certainly find them insightful. I bought Carpro Cquartz UK 3.0 because of your review on it and am doing my first coating of it on a VS clubsport soon. I’ve since moved detailing products to car pro as I’ve seen your reviews and what you use I’ve found to be good for my business. Thank you for your amazing content and keep it up :)

Sandro you never let us down with another great review I have said this before your reviews are the best on youtube You let us make our own minds up Aswell as being a honest and FAIR review Your hard work and effort is very much appreciated as it is invaluble information no matter what you review Rock the test Dont STRESS Just do your BEST Please keep them coming IN SANDRO we TRUST

Thanks Sandro for another great video and taking the time to produce it, I always look forward to seeing your reviews and brightens my night. Cheers heaps mate!

Your tests are great. One of the best doing subjective testing on detailing products.

I love your honest reviews and how you are sharing your thoughts, Sandro. One thing is to show (which is an absolutely magic in your videos), but another thing is try to direct thoughts in the way you are thinking because of your experience. Unfortunately not all of us are as experienced as you and we are not making same conclusions as you can do automatically, so that's why when you are sharing what you are thinking and why means for us another lesson)))) Great video Sandro, great footage, grate music as usual. And your intro became even more professional by adding the music - I simply love it! Cheers from sunny Sweden.

Amazing video and thank you for the work involved putting these together. Interesting results, cheers Brenton.

I want this stuff. It beads insane!! Plus you can use it as a topper on ceramic coatings!

You always do great work and I thoroughly enjoy your videos.

Your hard work is always appreciated. Great videos as always 👍

Superb review Sandro as always... very interesting conclusions re. application as a topper/sacrificial layer.

This is my first viewing of any video you created and I must say I’m impressed. I truly appreciated your thorough, multi-test and balanced perspective. Your honest perspective, potential weaknesses, and conclusions were extremely helpful. I just purchased this wax and will be giving it a try on my car which only has a spray on quick detailed coating (purchased before viewing). Thank you for taking the time to create this review and I also think your explanation of the investment it takes to create one review. Most people have no idea how long it takes to fully create one well executed video. You do nice work!

I must admit Sandro your product reviews and testing is next level,super informative ,you actually helped me make a decision whether or not to put q2 wax over our mohs coating thank you so much for everything you do😎 also I really believe all coating and wax companies should come to you for your review skills 😜

Wow, this was an extremely high quality review, that only Sandro could produce. Always thankful that you share your experience with us, and create these videos. I myself have noticed as well that a top coat isn't always the best answer for durability. I typically only top coat if rain is predicted for the pickup day or day after. Thanks again boss.

Top notch review Sandro! Thanks mate!

True ones don't condole themselves into gossip my man let them talk your videos are beyond what anyone else is doing quality,informative,and completely unbiased ! so you do you man your contents 1 of the best !!!!!

I’ve used q2 wax over csl exo and bare paint with zero ghosting issues. This is great stuff and the only wax in my arsenal.

Fantastic video as always Sandro, thank you for providing us with such high quality content!!!! Thing that could explain bad performance of pure+wax section is that Gyeon actually doesn't recommend applying wax to new Evo line until it fully cures for 14 days... When they originally released wax, and with old generation of coating they indeed told "apply it to protect coat while curing", but not with Evo line.... Maybe that would actually change performance... Who knows 😅 all in all, Gyeon Wax from my expirience is great product, and I would highly recommend it... Good application, great smell, nice ergonomics of packaging, incredible water behavior....

The timing of this video could not be any better as I have a unopened 50 ml bottle of Gyeon Q2 Pure EVO Ready to go on my brand new car that I've had for 5 weeks now And was planning on topping it at some point with Gyeon Q2 Wax...thank you🙏👍

Hi Sandro, agree totally with your conclusion re time given to Pure to cure sufficiantly before applying the wax, I cant think of any other reason than chemical bonding effected both coatings.. Seriously though, Im in love with Pure & am so looking forward to seeing the NSX on the 16th for her first wash. I was fortunate Id been given the time to do what I believed was zero compromise so gave her a week to 10 days then applied multiple coats of CanCoat which delivered a super slick finish. Now I'm caught between a rock & a hard place, the whole experience using Pure was an absolute pleasure but the looks on Imola Orange the cherry was bigger than the cake, how could I now use any of the other coatings sat on the shelf. Take care fella, wishing you success, health & happiness. Mike S ...( now the owner cant stop anywhere as there's always admirers who want to see & talk to him about his car )

I agree with your experience with it. I personally disliked it as a topper over a coating. As it started to degrade I never had the original performance of the coating back. I will not be using it as a coating topper any more.

for me it works perfectly over cquartz lite. I havent had any single problem with degrading.

Fusso definitely can ghost. That’s why I use it almost exclusively on metals. 🙂 Thanks for another great video review.

Another great review thank you Sandro

Thanks for a useful and interesting video. Gyeon now recommends not putting their paste wax on top of the ceramic coating until a minimum of 2 weeks when it should have fully cured. This might be because of the issues you have raised in the video. I applied Gyeon Cure on top of my ceramic coating to provide an initial extra layer of protection. Going forward I plan to use Wet Coat as a top up as it's quick and easy to apply.

Wow…your editing skills have increased immensely! Nice! I’d love to see a review of the classic Macguires 26 yellow wax.

Sandro that red bonnet looks awesome I just wish I could do that GREAT TEST MATE I NEVER THINK THEY BIAS THEY TELL THE TRUTH

Thank you for useful test! Now i choose between Gyeon Q2 Wax and Dodo Juice Black Widow.

I'm a bit surprised a wax came out with the popularity of coatings. Thanks for the video

I liked before watching! We need the modern Sandro's!

As always some really valuable insights here, we truly appreciate all the hard work. I'd buy you a coffee but the price of a cup is ridiculous these days :)

In the instructions I got in my box it said to wait at least 14 days before applying Q2 Wax. I assume that you are right that the wax bonded to the uncured coating and caused the failure since you only waited 1 day. Maybe try it with waiting 14 days and see what happens? Thanks for another great video regardless 👍

Great job on the review!

I wonder if the wax would react any differently to other types of ceramic coating or even graphene coatings. Def didn't expect some of these results that's for sure. Sorry I comment as the video plays. Helps with the algorithm

As wax over coating issue it may happens for a couple reason. Type of paint and cure time. Gyeon states that you can add a sacrificial layer such as Q²M Cure after 12 hr of coating applied but in this case of a wax being an hybrid formula tends to not let the coating cure as wanted. Personally I preffer not to use toppers on Gyeons coatings as they are awesome resistant to daily contaminants, even more certified ones which I am able to use, but if you are willing to use Wax over it then wait for total cure 7-14 days after. Great video Sandro as always!

I use Q2 WAX mostly in pair with CarPro Lite. I've been doing this since Q2 WAX came out, I always use it as a topper after 8-16h of CP Lite curing time. I have never had any problems with bonding, damaging the coating layer etc.

Great information

Very good product, tested recently 👌

First, thank you for this great and informative Video. I think maybe the fault was that the ceramic didn’t fully cure? If you can fit it in your schedule I’d love to see a retest with a coating that has been fully cured, say a month or so?

Awesome review. Have a lot of problems with that wax too. On some cars it works perfectly for several months and a lot of washes with 10-12PH prewashes, on some cars it wipes off after one or two washes, really try to figure out why, but perhaps its because of the paint or smth like that

Nice👌👍please next test gyeon mohs evo

Really good video and I do enjoy using Gyeon wax. I ordered some last March and I got a solid four months protection in the middle of summer here in Nashville. I did machine apply a very thin layer. The hydrophobic behavior was initially close to ceramic level but four months later it was more sealant like and definitely not ceramic like. On new water based paint I did see noticeable gain in reflectivity and depth. The biggest question is cancoat is similar in price and lasts longer. Thank you for this awesome video.

In addition, Cancoat EVO offers a much more saturated look with increased depth and gloss, one of the weak points Sandro mentioned for Gyeon Wax.

I purchased this after your review but I keep reaching for other waxes. Great points though.

Hey. Is it possible to make same test also with scholl concepts w6 black coatwax?

Hey Sandro! You are the one, I always visit your channel before I about to buy a product to be sure, on counting your honest opinion. Would you make a comment about which one is better between these two in terms of gloss: gyeon wax and carpro reload 2.0? Thanks already, have a great one!

@CarCraftAutoDetailing

Thanks, it’s really nice to hear that! I think Gyeon Wax has some really great characteristics, but to be honest it’s looks in terms of gloss or saturation wasn’t its strongest point - so I would feel pretty confident saying Reload 2.0 would be better in that specific area.

Another great video mate. Well done. I have a question for you. I'm working on my car today and wondering if I use carpro perl on the plastic trims, can I put lustre over the top of it? Is so, do I need to wait a certain time before I put the lustre on? Thx mate

@CarCraftAutoDetailing

2 жыл бұрын

With Perl I usually dress the trim, wait about an hour and then go back and do a final wipe down. I think if you wait about hour or so after that final wipe you should fine to use Lustre on top. Additionally you could also add Lustre after the next wash.

however you turn it , this wax is very user friendly and isn't as intimidating to us the weekend warriors ... I think I am gonna get one once my fusso coat depletes , which is never at my rate XD . fusso coat seems much less forgiving than this one ,

Thanks for doing this. I’ve been eying this product for a while as I’m looking for something to quick apply after wash to prevent commuting bug splatter…you did have good things to say about Adams Graphine spray coating. What would you put your money on? Thanks

@CarCraftAutoDetailing

Жыл бұрын

I’m not sure, it was a while ago and I honestly haven’t used either one since - so many products lol. I tested the regular Adam’s Graphene spray, but I do know a lot of people seem to like the newer Adam’s Advanced spray version, so maybe that could a good option.

4:22 Dang it Sandro, you ruined my comment! XD In all seriousness though, I've noticed this tends to happen most often with the most hydrophobic and durable paste waxes such as Double Speed Wax, Collinite 476s and the biggest offender but literally my favorite wax of all time: The great Soft 99 Fusso. You can literally just have patches where there is heavy ghosting and it can be so bad that it literally takes like 30+ gloss units off, it'd look almost like a matte patch of clear under certain angles and lighting (like super orange, worn down LPS bulbs). (I've never actually measured it, but it's probably not too far off). I remember having it on my bonnet and it literally didn't even come off with multiple washes, but I didn't care because it's sooo hydrophobic, that it literally beats most coatings in terms of contact angle (at least when initially applied, the beads have contact angles of over 110*, I'd say closer to 120). Fusso was sooo ahead of its time and it really is incredible in all aspects except gloss, but if you didn't get the ghosting, your car looked great, it's not all about the gloss number. It's what kept me from trying coatings for so long (didn't get into them until 2019 and then I was a convert, with UK 3.0). Thank god I have the original formula because they apparently changed Fusso's formula and the new one isn't as good as the original. 10:12 - 10:46 That's been my experience as well, though once I saw the degradation, I knew it wouldn't just be a matter of "washing it off" or topping it back up with wax again as it was my intuition that whatever residue's left over just doesn't come off and "clogs" the coating somehow. I knew the only way to truly bring it back 100% would be to polish and start with a clean slate. This doesn't seem to happen with the lighter spray on stuff like Sonax BSD (great topper for coatings IMO) and of course the ceramic detail sprays and spray sealants. That's one of the reasons why I don't love the word "topper" I don't think it's a matter of the ceramic simply sitting on top of the clear coat creating a complete "plastic wrap" like barrier between it and the atmosphere, and even moreso with the "toppers". I think it's more of a matter of the toppers forming a bond alongside the coating and not really sitting "on top" of it where you have Clear coat, then on top the ceramic coating, then on top of that whatever topper you applied last. Instead I think it's more of like say when you apply a lotion on your skin. Anyway excellent video, I always love how many times your findings are so alike mine and you explain them so well, it's rare for detailers (including the most famous ones) to focus enough to notice all these nuances and also share them with their peers. I'm glad SOMEONE understands me. Cheers Sandro! Edit: Shoutout to Waxmode tho, he gets all this stuff too, too bad he doesn't upload anymore. I could do the same but I can't be bothered to record and edit, I just wanna watch someone ELSE do it XD.

Thank you! I would like to ask how many months does the protection of the gyeon wax last?

After doing so many tests regarding waxes. Which wax or waxes did you find to be the best overall. Protection, durability, gloss, etc...

I think Scholl Concepts Premium Vintage Wax is still a stand out for me - through it is rather expensive. More budget friendly is Meguairs Crystal Wax that’s extremely good for the price, Collinite 845 is also still a favourite.

How many cars before it runs out?

Which do you think will last longer this wax or carpro hydro2 Ik they're different products but I'm debating between the 2 of them

Durability could be similar though I would expect Hydro2 to be a little more chemical/detergent resistant.

I'd be interested to see what Gyeon's comments were on the red panel. With your skills and experience, I dont accept it was an error on you preparation.

It flashed differently over a coating..... hm

So still confused…..would you recommend the pure evo or the Q2 wax?
