Hype and more HYPE! Every new coating gets press and then more press now it's Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light!

If I were to want advice on a new coating, I would log into AGO and PM someone that I have read hundreds and hundreds of posts and reviews from.

(And I have done this........)

Screw YT.

I agree, if I want to see what someone thinks of a product I usually end up here and see what users like The Guz, Coatingsarecrack or Klasse Act likes.

Michael and Roger, yes.

But I have my doubts about that Crackhead...............

Maybe I'm not seeing CSL all of a sudden in the lime light, it's been out for quite a while (years).
If anything, it was years ago when it was hyped up. Chicago Auto Pros and Obsessed Garage both seemed to talk it up.

To me anyway, it seems the heyday of ‘New’ coatings promising revolutionary changes was 2 or 3 years ago. If ya wanted to try something new back then there were plenty of new things to try…not so much in the last 12 months or so.

Gyeon dropped their EVO line about this time last year but aside from that & perhaps the Diamond Pro Tech, what has been a big splash in the ‘glass bottle’ coating space?

Incremental changes to known players have taken place but 2 or 3 years ago someone was promising the latest & greatest every month or so. Graphene was a blip on the radar for a year but has so far, IMO, not proven to be functionally relevant in any tangible way…which hasn’t stopped it from being noted in everything from tire shine to glass cleaner.

Even the incremental changes seem more focused on user-friendly characteristics as opposed to marked functional changes/improvements. Maybe the technology has reached its limits w regards to true practical performance??

I see more attention given these days to the latest and greatest spray ‘coating’.

If I was looking for 2 or 3 ‘new to me’ coatings to try this year I’d be hard pressed to find ones that really piqued my interest; 3 years ago it seemed that was never an issue.

I am just going through what you all did a few years ago since I just dove in head first back into it after a looooonnnng hiatus. So I’m reliving what everyone went through and it pisses me off now! I can imagine what it was like then if your saying it has settled down now for the most part.

[John U]

Nothing has changed in the 16 yrs I’ve been here.

New stuff comes and goes. The market picks the winners!

With that endorsement it is now time for me to launch my YouTube Channel.

I'm a Blue Coral lifer. Nothing touches Fomblin.

[MI Mike]

Oh Yes. Blue Coral was my first attempt at detailing.
After looking at all the responses it boils down to a simple phrases.
If it works for you and gives you the results you want use it and enjoy.

You can fall down the rabbit hole and never be seen again! EVERYBODY loves to try new products including me. My rule of thumb is finding something you like and use it often!
