You will be hard-pressed to find one as easy and enjoyable to apply and remove as the PBMG waxes like Fuzion, Souveran, and Blackfire Midnight Sun. Chemical Guys Classic Paste Wax is another one I...
If you're getting rain, tree gunk is the number one killer of beading on most products, including full coatings. I've seen some coatings be quickly destroyed by parking under trees during some rain...
A good test would be to go and polish your favorite neighbor's hood out during the rainy season, wipe it down with IPA or a prep spray, and observe how long it takes for that paint to become...
I still use it all the time. One of the few products that no other company has replicated. Still has an unbelievable wow factor. I specifically pull it out when I know the rain is coming.
I actually use it quite often for dishes! For detailing I have not, but I've not been significantly testing products for the last few years, the bulk of my washes have been rinseless for the cars...
$60 is too much for the retail over-the-counter market. At $60, it also competes against most full coatings that will significantly outclass it in durability.
Meguiar's Wash Plus always had the following weaknesses: How much pressure I needed to use, how small the effective working area was, and the marring aftermath.
It's paint dependent, there is some paint that Net Shield buffs off easily and others I've put it on were an absolute nightmare applying it by the book. A damp/wet microfiber towel will help in...
This is key. You'll blow through the UV protection way before the strikethrough, and there's not a coating I've used that will fully prevent premature UV failure when it gets to that point. They...
It took me hundreds and hundreds of finishing polishing sessions to break through the clear on the test cars/panel. Factory Nissan and Honda paintwork, 130microns thick. M205, Perfect Finish,...
On pearl white I'd definitely go with Mohs Evo, try running two coats if you can stretch it. I waited a max 30 seconds after applying it before wiping it down and didn't have trouble. You're right...
Gyeon Mohs Evo is the one worth trying out if you're looking for a new coating. Its fluoro-modified polysilazane chemistry is connected to real improved results, and they have the research to back...
The more winters I spend in Chicago, the more chemical resistance becomes a valuable attribute. Wasn't anywhere near as important to me in Florida. If the coatings can't handle something like a...
Pro 4x is spot on, this is one of my favorites to come from Turtle Wax in the last 5 years. Can't think of another soap that matches this in lubricity, and it has excellent foaming performance with...
Seeing gloss negatives shouldn't scare anyone away, as all of these factors are significant contributors to the immediate difference in gloss numbers in my tests, aside from just the properties of...
Gyeon's latest Moh's EVO is worth checking out for slickness. Still not Power Lock level slickness but great slickness for a coating. Skip the Syncro kit, the new Skin EVO takes away from the...
My MatchPen R has been great, I use it often for the majority of polishing due to the size utility of it. My rear button did go out after a few years and ScanGrip warrantied it without issues and...
With their previous design, there was no reason for me to grab for them over Meguiar's microfiber. Meguiar's was a better performer across the board, especially in balance leading to WAY less...
I just used up Quick View. Would prefer to get more uses out of it, application is annoying with how much I have to squeeze the bottle to get it to load up the applicator. It got to the point to...
There will be a difference if the performance is dropping because the hydrophobic effect of the coating is actually wearing, or dropping because it's become clogged with contamination or an abundance...
