@ToddCopeland

I'm not the only one to see that. As far as the chemical test, I'd give that the M27. Seal and Shine beaded the water as it stuck to the paint. Allowed to dry, you'd get water spots. The water did not stick on the M27 side (as it did on Seal and Shine) and instead it was slick enough that it rolled off. Once it was hit with the leaf blower you could also see that they both blew off just as easy.

Ever since all these videos of guys doing these tests started popping up on youtube everybody wanted water beading. I always thought to myself, why the heck do you want water droplets sitting on your hood? Kind of defeats the purpose of it all. How is beading rejecting water, it is just sitting their but now it is in nice artistic droplets. I want that water off as soon as it hits the panel. Definitely sheeting is the way for me I want that nasty road rain water off my hood ASAP not in dumb little droplets. I'm starting to think they just have a beading fetish.

Brian thank you for continuing to make content through this mess. It's hard to find content not related to the virus

Good product...but I would grab Seal N Shine for a fraction of the price.

Seal N Shine has been my #1 for about a year and a half! Pound for pound meaning what you get for what you pay it's the best on the market. There are definitely other products that gloss better are slicker and the like but as far as durability longevity ease of use and price point....it simply cant be beat. I also like fusso coat. And Rejex.

I’m using seal n shine as a base, and dry after washing with technicians choice. The shine and feel of that truck is unbelievable! Goes through a rain shower like a greased suppository.

Brian, kudos from Texas and watching this vid made me forget for a brief few minutes about the chaos going on and I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I have to agree with the comments and nods to Seal N Shine what else can be said about this amazing priced and performing product. I just used the new Turtle Wax hybrid solutions ceramic polish on my 02 dark Navy blue metallic Trans Am and followed it up with Seal N Shine and the car looks absolutely amazing. I'm a Turtle Wax customer for life now.

Amazing insight with the gloss meter readings at the end Brian - I always learn something new from you.

@MR. GALLARDO Yes'ir the followers of this channel are fully aware you should wash your car with a PH neutral soap before applying a sealant/wax. I use Car Pro Reset Soap because the dilution ratio recommend is much lower (1.76 ounces : 5 gallons) vs. my previous product of choice Ice Snow Foam which despite being less expensive per ounce initially has a dilution ratio recommend of (1-3 ounces : 1 gallon). This channel and its followers do rigorous testing of product results over time in real world situations to support the claims of usable sealant/wax life spans. Most of us are greedy about superior results so I doubt any of us are actually waiting the full term of use before stripping and reapplying any products in my opinion anyhow. Lol

Amazing video! Thanks for the upload. Need to see a video like this with the Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray

I put 2 coats of Meguiar's Ultimate Finish on my car every spring and every fall. Every month I apply a coat of Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer and my car beads water and has a nice deep shine all year long. You don't have to go crazy or spend tons of money to make your car look good!!

I applied it to half two of my house windows (north facing) for testing purposes only 😁.. It preformed extremely well.. it is still going strong although I wanted to test the new TW Hybrid Solutions ceramic spray on the glass... so I grabbed a bottle of super clean to clean off the remaining seal and shine.. nope.. didn't work.. went for a can of Stoner Tarminator... nope....clayed and bladed....although hurting pretty badly.. still protected..started to rain.. beading nicely...I will try Dawn🤷🏼‍♂️ when it dries up a bit.. but starting to think I should just reapply the seal and shine and forget about the TW ceramic spray😟🧐🤣🤯 Seal and Shine is the real deal people!!

I'd love to see the Polish Angel Rain in a durability test. In the winter I use a de icing washer fluid with alcohol to avoid frosting and freezing and I'd like to know if the 9h would last at all with that!!

I was going to coat my car in the Spring (not decided light/full strength) but, honestly, after everything I see, I may as well just lightly machine and pop on some S&S every now and again.

The SnS is more streaky and quickly cure than M26 or M21. Many people prefer liquid sealant, user friendly in hot areas.

To me... the best sealant that sheets is Klasse.

Does chemical resistance = longevity though? Most cars are not subjected to harsh chemicals. I wonder which one would last longer when subjected to weather, everyday wear, and old father time.

Hello got a question. I compounded and ceramic coated my car(gyeon syncro 3layer mohs + 1layer skin). Got 2 question. 1- I have some holograms left under the hood, so can I do a local compounding, remove the coating and the hologram and then coat that part again?// 2- I have some stone chips on the front bumper but I coated them too what to do against them? Can I just apply chip fix on them while they are been covered by ceramic coating? Thanks.

Can’t believe seal and shine is that good compare it with colinite I did 3 coats the other day im sure I was wrong first jet seal second seal and shine and for last colinite the shine and water repellent is Unbelievable and the color popped so good that all the people get my attention when im driving on the streets was that possible a good combination?

WOW! Not the way I thought this would go. Do you think the Maguire's would hold up better if it had a base coat of the Hybrid wax? Or are these particular products made to be applied to bare paint? Also, I really like your channel and really appreciate you competing a "Life like" torcher test vice other channels who use ridiculous chemicals to see if the product holds up. Thanks!

This is the 2nd video I've seen where the M27 doesnt have the staying power of Seal and Shine. Again, disappointed in the M27.
