I totally understand that aspect, but if you pay attention carefully to all of his non-sponsored videos… they tend to always feature brands that have been sponsored in the past. He finds a way to...
While I can appreciate Pan’s educational videos, I can’t help but notice they still feel like advertisements because he always features products from brands that have paid him or from brands he...
things like leather and vinyl absorb things similar to your skin. On paint you are wiping off 99% of any protection you are applying. I think just oils in general help keep leather and things less...
Your car’s clear coat is designed to absorb UV and prevent fading to your base color. Think about that for a minute…a 35-50 micron coating (aka clear coat) still fails to sun exposure over time. To...
when people say water spots, we are talking about spots that are not removeable. Almost permanent spots that embed themselves in ceramic coatings. The water spotting you are seeing is probably...
I haven’t seen much of any water spotting yet. From what I’ve read, ceramic coatings are prone to water spots before they are fully cured. I’ve seen some nasty water spotting with ceramic coatings,...
I personally noticed the exact opposite. The self cleaning effect seemed to be better than ceramic for me. Water shedding seemed to be top notch from what I’ve seen.
If you are parked outside under trees with heavy rain fall, pretty much no product can withstand that. The saps and oils rinsing over your paint will etch and strip most protection, even durable...
As was mentioned above, actual coatings are in this price range. Obviously some markup due to included components like the applicator towels and prep spray. You really can’t be comparing this to...
my mistake for bringing up any YouTube comparison. My main point was that hybrid coating by Meguires was one of the best beading products I’ve ever used and then CanCoat got brought up as a...
i 100% agree with most of what you said. But again, I reiterate, at least Scott’s tests expose all the products to the same exact variables. The Chicago auto pros test is similar to pans. Different...
And just so we are on the same page, I do agree with you on a lot of things. There is no perfect test in the real world for these products. That being said, if I’m on the west, southern or south east...
we’ve gone way past the “hybrid paint coating” is a good product discussion and have gone into conspiracy territory. I get it. People have been pushing X product to last X years based on everyone’s...
Definitely anecdotal evidence. Do you know what anecdotal means? What if every single car you put a coating on are garage queens, driven 5 miles a week? You see those car a year later, and they all...
You misunderstand what I said. Everyone knows coatings are too thin to block UV rays. I would guess that your clearcoat is still getting damaged by UV rays and depending on the coating, the coating...
Disagree. Even when cloudy, UV gets through. All paint is exposed to UV. The only instance where what you’re telling me matters is where somebody babies their car, parks in a garage and drives at...
so I still don’t get how you don’t think Scott’s tests are relevant or representative. You’re saying there are tougher conditions than just a resting hood in the sun. Granted, Scott’s test should be...
My point was the CanCoat section WAS performing worse. More water flattening out over the surface. Didn’t see that with some of the others included megs.
there’s not much more you could ask for when it comes to a large controlled test that exposes the products to the same variables. Same paint, same heat, same UV. It stands to reason that if something...
