Thank you for including EX-P in your comparison!

I've been using Poorboy's EX-P and Natty wax for over a decade and always get compliments on my car's finish. I thought that after all these years there must be some great advances in car products on the market. I haven't found a clear cut winner yet and your video makes me think I might just stay with Poorboy's.

Excellent presentation, I appreciate how you make a clear concise call on all products. Thanks!

Your reviews and comparisions are so good. I can only imagine the time and effort going into them. Also the editing, music and complete video quality is outstanding. In my country some of the products you test are not possible to buy here. So I appriciate all the tests with well known brands. And sometimes you can find pruducts that may not win or end up on top but if you add price they can be worth looking into. That is why I love these tests. Honest and thorough.

big thank you on this I really was shocked on the findings most detailers go on and on how good the power lock is only to find nxt still coming out as a good over all product that leaves a high level of gloss.

Cracking vid as usual mate! Good advice and quick to the point.

The look of nxt 💪, another great job! 👍 👍 👍

Another great video Sandro! Love all your videos as they are well thought out and honest reviews of both products and techniques. Your the "Crocodile Dundee of DETAILING in the wonderful "Land Down Under". It's been a few years since I visited your incredible Country and to be honest, I would move there if I could! I really enjoyed visiting there and everyone I met were very inviting, friendly, and good decent people. Your Country also has great food! LOL. Anyway, thanks for putting together some of the best detailing videos currently on KZread. You're up there in the top 10% of KZreadr's doing a vehicle detailing channel! Thanks again mate. Looking forward to the next one.

Great insight, NXT standing up for me

Another great review. Thanks a lot.

Love your channel. I'm also a big fan of poorboys. I have a black car and poorboys black hole polish and black paste wax is the best thing I've ever used. Hope to see more Poorboys reviews in the future. Well done on your channel.

great review.love watching this.keep them coming.stay safe an god bless!!!!

Awesome Vid mate...thanks for the review. 👍

Excellent show !

Another great video mate 👍🏼

Thank you!

Poorboys just came out with a coating. It would be interesting to see a review from a pro like you.

Yay, a decent car care reviewer based in Australia!

Nice one, thankyou for your time and effort. I will echo the other comments, this is useful and well presented 👍

So after watching your review, I ordered some Wolfgang sealant. I LOVE how easy it is to apply, and how easy it is to remove... I love the result, BUT... it is a dust magnet. It is as bad, if not worse, than any wax I've ever used. I live in the desert where dust is our constant enemy... but this product is not desert friendly, unless you like an instant coat of dust the moment you pull it out of the garage.

Great job !!!

Good honest test, NXT For me , due to availability 👍🏻

Great reviews , subscribed⭐️⭐️

Superb, the anti friction on that McGuires product is crazy 👍🏻

Actually quite shocked that Meguiar's NXT makes the paint darker, wetter looking, and glossier, than Wolfgang Deep Gloss 3.0... and the others...

Colinite 845 and either Power Lock or Fast Finish is my go to wax/sealant combo. I really believe not only is it more cost effective when it comes to taking care of your cars paint compared to a ceramic coating but also looks better on some paints. Especially estoril blue.

I love Wolfgang, but the recommended 45 minute haze time, and 12 hour cure time make it only viable with a garage kept car. It was on sale last year on Amazon for about 15 bucks a bottle, I'm good to go for a long time lol

Great video. You bring back memories with NXT. Was one of the first sealants I used when it came out.

Another very informative and relevant shootout, Sandro! Although it didn't lead the pack in hydrophobicity, Megs was the one that offered the most vs cost, for me. It just looked the best, even through the KZread eye and it is way easier for me to get than the others. You know you've got your formula pretty darn good when you look even better than Wolfgang Concourse. For me, they are very hard to beat in the gloss dept. These videos are spectacular and thank you for putting the work into them!

Really appreciate that, and I’m glad the videos are allowing you to make the right choices based on your wants and needs!

My experience with EX-P is almost the complete opposite of yours. I’ve only used it in direct sun (I have zero shade on my property) in temperatures above 80 degrees (F). It went on and wiped off like a dream, with no sticking or streaking. What I don’t like about it is that EX-P will stain black (or gray) trim pretty badly.

Hello, I had powerlock and I bought meguiars after watching this video and tested Menzerna Powerlock and Meguiars Nxt today. Meguiars is more slick and has better touch.

Really glad to see wolgang here. It was also my first sealant and I had a hard time finding something better until I tried coatings. By the way, what is your favorite sealant of all catagories?(traditioncal, hybrid, etc...)

I brought a bottle of DP world sealant 10 years back when I took a beginner course at WAXIT headquarter, love it, too bad I seems to not be able to find it anymore. Since then I move to NXT simply because its more accessible, and when supercheap etc do big sales, it just became the best value for money one (my last bottle paid only 22 dollars.)

Like always, nice video ! You should do a video of your favorite protection of all you have tested ! I guess polish angel cosmic of carpro ceramic ahah

DGPS baby!!!

I tried NXT once, applied after light polishing, no clay bar. Amazingly slick, parked my car out in the Australian summer sun the next day, didn't last to the end of the day. Would be tempted to try another product but I'm not sure what would survive being in the sun

Best sealant is "Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant."

Its simple why most professional detailers don't use NXT. Its something anyone can buy over the counter and is difficult to impress your customers with something they can buy themselves. Having these "boutique" brands it helps sell the service to the client. Not saying this person does this, but many do. Same thing with Si02 coatings. Pro's love them, why? BIG PAY OUT due to all the prep work involved. Coatings have their place, but the prep work involved and cure times ruin it for the do it yourselfer. Most people get 2 days off from work. Not enough time to do all the steps to properly apply a si02 coating, especially if you take into account curing times. So products like these used in this video are more suited for those who are weekend warriors that want their cars looking good. That is why products like these still need to exist.

Hey Sandro! Great video presentation! The only sealant I own is Powerlock. Matt from Obsessed Garage here in Florida was so In love with the Powerlock/Collinite 845 combo I had to give it a try a few years ago. It looks like there’re a few sealants out there that are better. I think down here in hot and humid Florida Powerlock may hold up a bit better under these conditions....I guess! Lol-Thanks for the video!

From what I’ve read about power lock. It takes 24 hrs to fully cure and the hot Sun helps it to cure fully. My car feels like it’s covered in plastic. So soft and smooth to touch.

I never had any joy using EXP. I could never got it to work on my paint and i have tried many combinations inc full 2 stage correction. On my car it just does not last past 1-2m. On recent trip to usa i pickup NXT, so i will give it a go.

I’m still using Prima Epic - old school polymer sealant that will give 3-6 months altho my bottle is like 5yrs old but still working. Would be good to see your thoughts on that

I like power lock as I can spread it with the DA very quickly and its good value. Lots of people think you can also top it with waxes and water-based QD.

Do a review on the all new Jescar ULTRA LOCK 8 months +

I would say nxt looks slot darker in a deep black gloss

Excellent comparison video sir, I used Chemical Guys JetSeal last year and though it was pretty good but now that it's sued up I was looking for another brand to test with. I'm a fan of Meguiar's products so NXT is probably going to be my pick.

please can i know the exact deference between APC and API and if they are same thing when polishing and decontamination

Sounds like poor boys was the winner minus maybe nxt if you were going to a car show? Would you agree with that? Also do you believe in layering? Wondering if I could go turtle wax hybrid ceramic then something else on top for more shine.

Master Sandro you forgot about Fusso Soft 99.😱

Traditional sealant - Duragloss 111. Spray sealant - Duragloss Aquawax. AIO - Duragloss 101. Duragloss polymer protective product tend to be what I gravitate towards.

What about the M21 2.0 meguiars? Compare to... nxt?

Plz help a brother out I wanna get menzerna usually u cut and hand polish when I detail cars at the yard quick jobs What u record which menzerna products plz I wanna use the pad to cut snd hand to polish

Would you recommend traditional sealants or spray sealants? I've been using the NXT on a 6-9monthly basis and Bowden's Afterglow after every wash. In between, sometimes I might top it off with Seal and Shine or Bowden's Fully Slick. It's probably overkill...but it does make it easier to wash the car, which is so important when life is so busy...!

Hello Sandro , what is the benefit of slickness ? I noticed less slickness is better because attract less dust while more slickness attract more dust like magnetic 🧲

@CarCraftAutoDetailing

3 жыл бұрын

The main benefit of a slicker surface with less friction is that it helps prevent wash induced swirls as your wash mitt and the dirt on the panel are able to be removed with less resistance and glide off rather than being pushed into the paint. There’s also a tendency for things like bird poo and bug spatters to be removed more easily as it’s harder for them to bond to a slicker surface. The other thing is more of a user experience benefit or characteristic that it just feels nice and rewarding to apply a slick wax sealant or coating and run you cloth over the paint with such a beautiful feeling. Some slick products can certainly attract fine dust particles so that’s definitely a con, but there’s also many benefits to an low friction surface

@CarCraftAutoDetailing

It really depends on the environment. When I worked outside as a mobile detailer I found that a after a good hour or two the sunlight would cure the sealant quite well as UV light has fantastic curing abilities. But indoors I’d say wait at least 4hrs or even longer if it’s quite cold, but if you can wait 12hrs then that’s a safer period that should ensure the sealant is cured enough to accept the wax without issues.

I hope you can test Meguiars M27 Pro Hybrid Ceramic Sealant very soon. It’s shipping now in the USA and Meguiars claims it’s the longest lasting sealant they have made to date. You can apply it to the whole car and then come back and buff to perfection. It’s sounds like an efficient process that would save time for pro detailers.

Spray road salt and perhaps acidic lemons to mimic pollution and dew in the air. Those sealants won’t last long real world. Also scrub the surface with chamois

The absolute best sealant was not part of this video and it cost $25 for 5 years supply. Fusso Coat Soft 99. Apply very, very sparingly. Wipe off after no more than 5 minutes. Wait 9 months to a year to reapply.

@MaddoxVicRealtor applying Meguiar’s HCW (or really any sealant) over another wax does tend to reduce its effective bond and durability and may also make the application a touch more difficult.

Compound residue got onto the rubber seals between the doors and around the windows which leaves a white dried residue on the rubber. I cannot seem to take the residue off. Is there an easy way to take the residue off the rubber? How do paint correctors prevent this or is this normal? Thank you

@CarCraftAutoDetailing

Ай бұрын

The way to prevent this is to use car masking tape to protect those trims prior to polishing because as you and all of us have experienced it can sometimes be near impossible to remove it depending on the specific trims. A dilution of isopropyl alcohol, wax and grease remover, All-purpose cleaners with brushes and microfibre cloths is what you can use to try to remove it. If all else fails you can use a trim dye such as Solution Finish to restore them in some cases.
