Thanks for doing these tests and providing honest objective results and recommendations

Sandro, we love your channel because you do just that. Think outside the box! So keep on donig this your way. I truely hope that you can appriciate and embrace the positive comments. We are here because we love your work and truely appriciate every one of your videos.

You're a class act Sandro. You had a few negative commenters after your last video so you went a made a second and what do you know it made no difference. I am loving this series of testing the products that we can pick up in Australia and being a big fan of carpro and NV I am happy to see these brands being tested and compared, so thanks and keep up the great work

Your attention to detail and honesty when reviewing products is second to none! I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos and hope that the negative feedback you receive from the select few won’t negatively affect your motivation towards making them, even if you have to a second time, to further clarify results. Although, your loyal subscribers, such as myself, didn’t doubt the first videos results. Thanks again!

Keep up the great work Sandro, "Haters gonna hate..." lol

Hey Sandro, great follow up video for those others. I understand how time consuming these take to film and edit then uploading, so hats of my man. Keep up the great work and as always look forward to your next one.

Sandro, another no nonsense, take it as it is video. You stand out with your honesty and facts, non bias and real. This is why your following is growing and will continue to do so. I have no allegiance to any products or services, but your videos will assist me and many others to look at what is available and to make our own decisions on where and how we will spend our money, and support products that will offer real value and quality for our dollar.

Hey Sandro! The follow-up was just as comprehensive and defined as the first. Bowden and CarPro are solid.

Impeccable testing results done only as well as you can. Thank you for all your hard work and time Sandro !

Keep doing what you’re doing. As a detailer in the UK your uploads help out a lot.

I like the wrap up. You do you, man. People are always gonna have an opinion. Love these videos and I feel they are the most trustworthy and thorough that I watch.

Great video Sandro. What you said at the end hit the nail on the head. It's tough being a creator and experimenting when people seen to be so sensible to breaking the rules. Just like plastic polishing, which I have been doing for years, and every time I recommend to other professionals I get bad looks. You know what I do think? People just limit themselves. People like us stand out. That's why we get hit the hardest. Keep on experimenting. Big hug from Brazil.

Agree with your followers stated as above. Thinking outside the box, similar to Scott and Jimbo, you three rock it! Keep it up. Love your content.

Nicely done... thanks a lot for redoing the whole process again just for us.

Bowdens still shines through! Good on you Dan for upholding the Aussie title. You certainly do make affordable high performance products that obviously work very well.

I must commend you for the effort to film this follow-up video and the panels are much more comparable. There is no need to defend yourself, unbiased data will speak for themselves.

Love the vid Sandro!! Products are just getting better and better nowadays!

just used the hydro2 foam today on a car and it worked nicely. water seemed to bead a lot better.

This was great, I just bought a new car and this really helped me out. And good to see a Aussie version as a lot of these are OS and they use product that are not local, great job.

Looks like hydro2 pulled ahead of Bowden’s in this follow up. :)

I use hydro2 foam as a topper, I definitely learned that I need to use two coats when using it really betters the results. Thanks for this piece of knowledge, highly appreciated 👍🏽

keep doing what your doing mate love your work

Would so have loved to see you trying to work the soap in with a washmit and see if that changed the waterbehavior. Thats how i use them anyways. Thx for your videos! Love it!

Thank you for making these comparison videos! Seeing them in action helped with my decision. Keep up the good work!

Clearly my GO TO KZreadr for testing and reviews!.. Appreciate your time Sandro.. #showoff

I Have been using this and many other 'Bowdens Own' products for a few years now. I have absolutely no complaints about using any of them. You're doing a great job, don't let the Low IQ Trolls bother you, if they don't like your videos, they can simply not watch them, but not being too bright they haven't been able to figure that out.

Keep up the awesome work Sandro! I’ve watched your content for 3 years and have learned from every single one. I love the format, your comments and the knowledge you impart. Your clam manner and methodical approach allows me to learn so much. Please keep up your channel!! Have only recently done my first machine polish on a car that needed more than one pass. Now I completely understand your comment on an earlier video that it’s all about debris/dust control. I chuckled when I finally got your comment ( I think it was in the 50+hr detail on the red Alfa)

Haters will be Haters, isn't that the theory? They will find fault in anything. Well done mate for sticking it to them 👍🏽

Normally I am a bit of an Autoglym fan in the past so I say this to be honest, but you can notice around the 6min mark Bowden's Own has some overspray land on the Autoglym panel, so this could be why in your summary you thought it had improved after being in the sun. Love the testing and look forward to each and every video.

Kudos for doing this follow up, a clear 4th place for Polar seal, its by no means a bad product imop i like it and use it.

Of course fanboys of particular products will get upset about particular results and of course it's nice to follow instructions, especially with sealants like this not letting them dry etc, but as retail products aimed at the general consumer, there's always going to be variation and people are always going to do their own thing. The issue you're seeing is that the general consumer isn't the one that's watching car detailing videos on KZread haha. I love the work you do though. Please keep up with the locally available content.

Another cracking video Sandro. The Fireball range is very tempting. But I keep going back to Carpro or Snow+ Awesome work as always buddy.

Like u said Sandro, some people won't change the way of thinking. That's why they will fail at trying to get best possible effects with those products. Testing and failing is the part of getting more experience in what we doing. Great work by the way. Waiting for the next videos Sandro 😁

I know you said that you didn't stick to manufacturers instructions... but as a note, the SiO2 in Fireball's Ultimate Hydrophobic Foam takes a full 24 hours to fully cure. So maximum water beading will be 24 hours after application. All good though... if you'd ever want any technical assistance on any Fireball products, just ask away.

I can see why the Auto Glym worked better after leaving it for a while. At the 6:00 mark, when you're applying the second coat of Bowden's Own, you get some overspray on the Auto Glym panel. That same side of the panel sheets off the water so much better on the final testing!!!

Nice one sandro, puts that arguement to bed !

I have to agree with the people who saying that you used the wrong dilution in the first video, regardless of whether it altered the outcome or not. I understand that doing things differently allows you to find alternative methods that work, but for a comparison video i think using the manufacturer recommendations is the way to go, or put in an extra test sample with your way of doing it is another option. Now that aside, something i noticed in both videos that you may be able to clarify, given you've seen it up close rather than on a small screen, but it seems as though while the autoglym was slower to shed water, it seemed to shed the vast majority of water off the panel. Is that correct? I've used a few sealants over the past few years (bowdens fully slick and mothers cmx ceramic spray) and found both to bead up well and make the car easy to clean (especially the cmx) but found that on flatter surfaces they beaded up almost too well rather than sheeting the water off, leaving water spots after it rained

Another great video. Keep it up buddy!

OMG, mate you detailing channel is the best IMO around the world, there's a couple others, forensic and pan, but you have done your work in the sense that Sandro mate you test various products in real world conditions and that the main aspect what people dont understand is that a lot of the retail products and other pro detailing products are not the same in respect to how they work and how its applied, in any case your the man Sandro and forget what others think, in the end its up to the customers to use what ever they link, like when Meguiar's spray on SIO2 Hybrid Wax came onto the market, i used it as a spray on wipe off product and so far i am very happy, but in saying that i would have used NV Jet or Luster, but due to where i live in country Vic there's no outlet and i dont like buying things online never ever did, if its close buy, then when i need it i will buy directly, which i will as soon as the bottle is down to the point i know i will require a new bottle, thats it its NV Jet for me full stop? Also due to my disability its very hard for me, to keep my daily driver clean in the normal way of washing and detailing, ie: i spend at least 4 hours detailing my car,( when dirty ie: got mud on the painted surfaces ) i even have cotton swab's to go around where you cant get into etc, like the badges to clean them and protect them etc. :) So forget the rest mate you're the BEST. cheers and keep up the great work. :)

Recently bought BO Happy Ending and it’s truly amazing! I personally find it to work better than Wet Dreams and much more cost effective. Great stuff as usual and I hope you try more of Bowden’s Own products in future!

Looks like they key is 2 coats if you want the most out of them.. Please remember: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

Great 2nd vid but the first one was just fine mate, gyeon wet coat is my top coat of choice, just love it 👍👍👍 we know you produce great vids and always do you best to accommodate

Awesome video Sandro! Keep these great videos coming!

Thanks for your effort. Appropriate you so much 🙏👍

Don't know why there'd be "haters". I have used Polar Seal a tonne before, but would deffo consider Bowdens Own now. I'd have tried the CarPro before but didn't even know it existed. Currently layer Polar Seal on top of CarPro CQUARTS UK & Reload.

You should try KKD PURITY 'X' 2-3ml in 500ml water :) I get okay results from AG polar seal but have not used it on raw paint before.

Felt like the broken record was playing over again. Sorry but Auto Gym did NOT change the broken record's sound level. But Bowden's Own and Car Pro yet AGAIN won out. Game over.

Auto Glym wins here no? The sheeting was really slow, but once it sheeted the panel was almost completely dry. All the others look like a water spotting nightmare

You need to use a mitt to wash with it and work it in.

It's a shame you felt compelled to make this follow up video. However, the point you make about thoroughness and not necessarily following recommended practices, allows you to garner further information, which is highly appreciated by rank amateurs like me. Keep up the good work Sandro.

I noticed that fireball was the only snow foam that was able to strip the marker of the panel. Maybe this means that it is a better cleaner but idk.

I think it should be notes that among those four it is only the CarPro product that makes any claims to be a cleaner.

When I use polar seal it's the total opposite. It beads and sheets intantly. I wonder what the difference is.

Ill be trying to bowdens next. I currently use the polar seal and am decently happy with it but it smells like nail polish remover

Would be good to leave the panels for a few days - maybe a week and just do a quick spray to see if theres any change? Do you think that after 24hrs or something autoglym might have an improvement? Great vid either way!

@@Lordmarkthe1st After some trialling, I am tending towards Sandro's approach with respect to the CarPro Finest Reserve coating on my partner's car; that is Reload/Elixir or Hydro2 Lite rather than a foaming or an apply and hard rinse option.

Sandro which would you recommend to keep a ceramic coated car protected and the best shine - Nova Boost after every wash and every 3 month's put on Gtechniq C2 V3 or Bowden's Boss Gloss after every wash and Bowdens Happy Ending every month or so? The coating is Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra topped with EXO V4.

Another brilliant video mate 👍🏻I never have liked autoglym as a brand, products never seem to last long plus there trim dressings use to run off trim as quickly as the rain would fall on them . Super resin polish created more dust than the oz outback .

Can you use these products as the only car wash product, or do you need to first wash the car and then use these snow forms after washing to enhance the hydrophobic properties??

I believe Carpro Hydro2Foam is the only one that can be used for cleaning as well as sealing with a hydrophobic layer.

Great videos, so what do you think is the best application method for the happy endings?

hello, very good test. you are really very good. What are the metal parts you use in your tests and where do you find them. Thanks.

How would you apply a tyre dressing when using a hydrophobic foam to maximise durability?

Great video mate, thank you so much for the time you take making these solid videos for us to learn and enjoy. I use carpro reload as my main sealant and carpro elixir as my detail spray every 2 weeks. I have just bought the carpro hydrofoam, would it not work better if I used a wash mitt and 'massaged' the soap in than spray and rinsing?

Hi Sandro, it appeared noticeably in the follow-up video that Bowden's foam was not as thick as the other three when applied. I went back to the first video and it also appeared to be not as thick as well. Is that just how that product is when applied, but still gets the results wanted. It is only an observation, not a criticism of the testing.

That’s crazy. Autoglym polar seal is my go to. And when u where going it literally looked like a different product. I don’t use any of the dilution ratios u did in past or today. I have a 500ml bottle. 480ish Ml of water. And like 30-50ml of polar seal. Goes on and almost instantly the product beads up. Doesn’t have the snow foam like substance u have and in that it beads up absolutely perfect (better than you got) and really fast water sheeting. Not sure if it’s weather that’s the difference. Or polar seal is different in Australia.

Are these safe to use with a ceramic coated car? Or would you use something without hydrophobic properties

Keep it honest brother

They’re all a little different, but there’s no harm in trying and seeing how it goes.

Hydro2 foam leaves an insane amount of spots and just is a mess when working with it in any type of heat or even light sunlight. I strictly reserve it for late evenings and night washes. Otherwise its the biggest paint in the ass ever to get rid of the crap it leaves behind if it even remotely starts to dry

(bright color panels didnt looked very dirty before..) no chemical prewash will get dirt down... i use local wash boxes.

Autoglym polar blast is a snow foam not polar seal

That look like polar blast foam. Not polar seal. Polar seal doesnt really foam my dude

I dont know what the hell you are doing with the polar seal, when i apply o It it goes on like milk and rolls away. It is DEFINITELY your fault

Good to see you uploaded a new video however I can’t explain why your results are completely different to many cars I’ve personally treated with Polar Seal and witness on many others. Even the application looks completely different to what I’ve experienced. In comparison this is my wife’s car that I did straight from the holding yard.

Car Craft Auto Detailing at no point have I questioned your integrity. I stated that you did not use Polar Seal as recommended during a side by side performance comparison in the first video which was misleading. In the second video I didn’t question your testing as you stated you used the recommended 1:5 ratio. All I said was that it didn’t compare to what I’ve personally seen. If my comments came across as questioning your integrity I do humbly apologise as that wasn’t my intent. I agree with you that there are several influencing factors that contribute to the end result, panel prep, foam lance, pressure washer etc etc and there will also be variances between testing results.

To be honest I would buy the autoglym as it leave much much less water then this beading nonsense

what the fuck why does the polar seal come out like a foam in your video? your doing something wrong, it comes out on the panel like beads when you spray it if you are using as per instructions.. nothing like what your video shows.. i think you are using polar blast instead..

hmm...stick to vehicles, they don't talk back.
