    I'm starting to get a little curiously suspicious of topcoat longevity like Skin, EXO and similar. Although my experience with them is in no maintenance, 'fire and forget' mode. They just seem to fade away somewhat quickly . Gliss V2 is still doing good n top of the CQ UK 3 from last year but it's only accumulated 7500 miles since application. Maybe they just need more frequent and particular maintenance.

    Gyeon really needs to sell Skin as a separate product...Syncro/Skin is galactically good right after application.

    Good stuff, thanks for doing this.
    Those two appear about the same. If I asked you to determine which is which without knowing you would think they were the same.

    Thanks for the update, glad to see one of my favorites CQUK is doing well, not surprised at all with the Adams Spray coating.

    Best Self cleaning effect: (Top 5)

    Gyeon Syncro. As I mentioned from previous experience its initial performance is top notch. Lets see is it holds out or fizzles out in about 5 months total when Skin starts to show signs of degradation.
    SPS Graphene
    Cquartz UK 3.0
    IGL
    Adams UV Ceramic

    Loss of hydrophobics.

    Drexler Ceramic (Base Coat + Top Coat) - this has turned into sheeting like Gyeon Mohs. Water lays flat on the surface. Seems like it is either an application issue or the top coat is indeed already degrading.

    Adams UV Spray Coating - This showed signs of slowing down after the first wash. It has one of the worst self cleaning effects. Turning into sheeting.

    Cquartz TiO2 - This has started to turn into sheeting and its water beading has started to become more oblong shape. I believe this is looking like an application error as I have experienced this to perform on par with CQUK 3.0 on my hood for the last 20 months. It is not the first time I see application inconsistencies with it. I am going to leave it for now but I am to the point where I will not be focusing too much on it and will include is with test #2 next year.

    The remaining coatings seem to be doing fine.

    Hi, I registered in this forum just because this post is very interesting

    I'm interested in Drexler just because I can buy it easily on Amazon, but I discovered that it's just a rebranded chinese product so I'm afraid it won't be very good.

    Anyway in your video it seems to work well, at least the base coat.

    Mike

    Great video, what a big test.

    I'm in the UK and wondering about CQuartz, Kamikaze or SPS.

    It's mainly to protect paintwork against the marring a Noah fully fitted cover might cause (I've got to use the cover, mainly for security).

    I'd also like the best self cleaning. To make washing pre putting the cover on as quick as possible.

    Just wondered what your thoughts would be on which is best?

    Also, do you happen to know if SPS Graphene and ArtDeShine Graphene, are the same thing?

    Thanks very much

    I have not used anything from the Kamikaze line. Our resident guru on that brand would be BudgetPlan. The other thing I can not comment on is how the coating is affected using a car cover. Coatings are still going to marr as they are not impervious forms of protection. You would want PPF if that is what you are after. But that comes with a price.

    As as self cleaning the post I made a couple weeks ago. You won't be able to get your hands on SPS unless you are authorized so that rules that out for you.

    I believe they are the same. Don't quote me on that because I have not looked into ArtDeShine.
