Spray Sealant Water Behavior

[CleanIT]

Just out of obsess......curiosity ...which of the following do you feel is best at displaying great hydrophobic properties, self cleaning as well as reasonable durability (1 - 3 months)? And which do you prefer among these:

1. Gyeon Wet Coat
2. IGL Premier
3. Sonax BSD

•Of the three products you listed above…
-I only consider Gyeon Wet Coat to be an
actual Spray Sealant.


•As such:
-I must go with Gyeon Wet Coat as a Spray
Sealant that checks all the requisites that
you also listed above.

I’d also go with WetCoat

When spread out evenly over a wet panel using a micro fiber applicator pad, the water repellency and gloss is really impressive. It's hard to not want to use this product. It's just so good and easy to apply when used correctly. I'm curious how HCW would compare. I've used Hydro Blue in the past. Was ok. But this was several years ago. Both products have changed since then. I would expect similar performance. This latest version of Gyeon though is pretty impressive. Compared to TW SNS/GG 3 in 1, I don't recall the hydrophobics being as good as what I'm seeing with Wet Coat. However, over the course of 6 months or so, the other two would surpass Wet Coat.

I’m gonna guess that WetCoat won’t hold a candle to either in the beading department.


Have not used PNS due to application issues i’ve read but beads look stout.

Haven’t used IGL due to manufacturers stated 6mo durability omce opened.

Makes sense. I was going to get the IGL, and still may, due to its ease of use and relatively good durability. Ease of use is something I always look for.

This latest version of Wet Coat though is extremely hydrophobic. Polished Bliss UK site gave the beading a 10/10, not that beading is the end all be all but.....

•Correct me if I’m way off base, but I
thought the criterion of your thread-
starter was centered on the water
behavior of ‘Spray Sealants’?

-If so, isn’t IGL Premier a ‘Coating’…which
would make it a whole other ball of wax?
(Pardon the pun.)

Good point. Anything that is not a true coating I was kind of lumping in there but you're technically correct.

“True” ‘Coating(s)’: :confused:

Although IGL says their Premier is a ‘Coating’
(necessitating meticulous prep-work, et al)…
-In your opinion…Why would IGL Premier not
be a “true” ‘Coating’?

I suppose it is. By coating I meant true full blown ceramic coating. Ceramic Spray Waxes, Spray Waxes, Sealants, Si02 sealants etc....I sort of put them all in the same boat. Including the silica rinse on/off products.

One could argue everything is a "coating". Is it coating the surface of your car/paint? Then it's a coating.

IMO:
It’s always the performance of the product
that is in the bottle, not necessarily what’s
written on the bottle, that counts.

Example:
Several Brands’ that have polish written
on their bottles, actually have LSPs in
those very bottles. Go figure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ecocoat Premier is a REACH compliant
zero VOC, hydrophobic silica coating
which is water based and can be applied on
all non-absorbent surfaces of the vehicle. It
is highly efficient and produces immediate
impactful results on the coated surface”.

“The result is a coated surface that is non-
smearing, non-yellowing, high gloss, high
slick and dirt repelling that will last for up
to 6 months”.

You can call anything a coating we all know that. Would you consider turtle wax hybrids solution a coating? Technically wax is a “coating”

It’s not a true coating as in the way it’s applied, low amount of Sio2 vs high solids in full coatings. It’s not even a coating.

In my opinion the manufacturer calling it a sealant in the days of everyone throwing around the term “coating”. Well i would say that is the correction you asked for.

A label on hundreds of thousands a bottle is going to trump an opinion and an internet discription.

I mean the put it on the bottle..... and if that doesn’t matter a discription written by someone does?

Performance? Every account i’ve read says it performs no where near even a coating lite.

Lastly were all entitled to our own opinions but does not mean it’s right.

we all know that.

Conversely:
You can call anything a Sealant;
we all know that.

Even though P21S 100% Carnauba
Wax seals the paint, would you call
it a Sealant?
