Like button smashed! If only you posted this a year ago before I got fished in on the all the Chemical Guys hype on the "new and improved formula with 12 months of protection". As well as some strategically placed fan boys. Bottom line, the only thing they sell that is halfway decent are the soaps(after you navigate the 4323 different kinds). I have tried Pete's, Blacklight and Jetseal. Blacklight is OK (5 out of 10). P21S lasts longer than all that CG has to offer and that is a very short term wax. Thank you Jimbo for cutting though the hype.

Chemical guys = over priced joke! Only thing I use of theirs is VRP and Mr.Pink. (Only cause they were super cheap and thought why not). It’s funny all the people who rave about their products cause the brand name, but don’t do research and watch videos like this. They do a good job marketing, for sure lol. Another great video for us DYI’ers Jimbo! Great job!

I knew the outcome when i saw the video was 8 minutes and the torture test started at 6 min 🤣

I've used Jet Seal on my black 2014 Vette and I had the same results as you did Jimbo. I did top it off though with Butter wax . Needless to say I'll being using something else from now on.

CG (chemical guys) = colored gel 😂

Jet Seal definitely use to be a standard but has definitely fallen short as we saw in this video. Great video as always brother!

My experience was the same. Never made it through a quarter of the bottle. Moved away from CGs products except VRP.

I own a lot of CG products, I'm satisfied with majority of them, but taking into account the price, JetSeal has been the biggest dissapointment in my arsenal. I used it a few times, doesn't last a month. Enough said.

Jet seal is fire , I use it then I apply meguiars ceramic wax on my silver 2019 wrx it comes out insane good

I have a bottle of this stuff that's labeled 2011, with the old style label. Little bit goes a long way. Used on a bunch of cars

Good to see you found the Bowden's Own products to test. Like to see more of those please

I enjoyed your video, it was very informative and spot on. I personal have a lot of CG products in my arsenal. And in my opinion, I believe that their products are designed to work best if you layer them with their products. For instance you can combine the mirror wash glaze, seal it with jet seat ant top it of with wet butter wax and the en result looks great. And I believe it will offer the protection it does if you do it that way. Now I do think, they should state that in the instructions and not just generalize them like they do

The only time I've been asked what I use on my car's paint was when I used CG Jetseal on a dark blue Mercedes

Can you do a video on your top 5 Choices for wax and sealants?

The only products I like from CG are a couple different acrylic glazes and some air fresheners. All their correction and protection products are just so sub-par. Literally, almost any retail Meguiar's and Turtle Wax product will give you such better performance at a much better price.

I think the torture test would be better if you didn’t throw wheel cleaner (that’s not for the paint) on a product like that and instead just washed which is what people are gonna do

Can you make a detailing starter kid with your favorite products, I spent 200 at chemical guys I think I made the wrong choice lmao

VRP, Glossworks & Mr Pink that's pretty much it from the CG range worth having.

So much damn product, how different can you get from product to product? The market is so saturated. Makes you wonder how many products are the same exact thing with a different label

It's a shame the chemicals guys sealant stuff doesn't work that well. As all of the shampoos/ detailers/trim gels and glass cleaners are great and easy to work with.

Jimbo! I thought of a suggestion. How about a torture test in some oldies like Liquid Glass and/or NuFinish. Have you done those before?

I got the same result, so applied turtle wax ceramic spray after Ipa wipe. It seems like turtle wax ceramic spray works much better

Chemical Guys aren’t all that bad, just like many company’s they have some really good stuff, some really bad stuff, and some decent stuff. I always research, and shop around for the best of things that I need without tying myself down to one specific line of products. I’ve recently used chemical guys white light on my pearl white 2019 Kia, and it looks smooth as glass and the white metallic paint just pops, then I topped it with meguiar’s hybrid ceramic liquid wax, and my suv is glossy wet, and very well protected with some crazy water beading.

Great video! I watched the Chemical Guys on applying this product. They applied the butter wet wax over the jet seal. Not sure if that makes a difference. Looks like the wax would act as a barrier over the seal, making it last longer if cleaned and taken care of right. What’s your thoughts?

Typical Chemical Guys product. It's all marketing of products that dont perform well and are way overpriced. I went to my local store in in socal and the staff was a joke. No customer service at all. I will not be back. Much better products on the market for less money that actually work. Thanks Jimbo!

I mean to be fair, we're not going to be driving through a storm of tire cleaner so even though it was removed easily, that's kind of a good thing i would think. The school of thought when washing a car is to get the old off and prepped for the new product. That would be hard to do if hidden blotches of sealant and wax are all over the paint. That would in theory cause the new sealants not to work to the best of their ability.

I did like using the Matte Jet Seal on my bikes, better than nothing and good price if on a special sale!

THANK YOU for doing this. I have the jet seal and I've been wondering what benefit would the hydro slick offer over this and if it was worth getting if I already had jet seal

I’m still going to stick with Turtle wax and other brands , I can buy a case of T W or other brands . Thanks Jimbo

I noticed on the CG site they suggest using this, and layer it with their Butter wet wax. Has anyone tried that. I actually like and have used the Butter wet wax, it’s easy and looks good but does not last. One other product that I’ve used is Turtle Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray. Is not expensive and lasts, but the shine is not great. I would rather use any product that I can use my orbital polisher but that’s me.

I also wasted about $40 with this stuff...its a shame Chemical Guys is still selling this stuff knowing it's a bad product.

I've used this on my track motorcycle and topped up with Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax afterward. It looks great but I do doubt it'll last a year (I keep the bike in my workshop year round and it sees daylight a handful of times a year). I'll see how well it lasts. I admit, I kinda fell for the hype surrounding the product and I realise now that they are kings of the marketing game. I'm pretty much Bilt Hamber, Gyeon, Autoglym and Carpro now

I quit using chem guys because of lots of results like that from every product I got from them.

Bought this before I knew better. It’s been thrown out after finding out about seal and shine.

Why did you add so little product?

Aloha Jimbo! Love the channel! Can u do a torture test on TLC Version 2 vs TLC Black ice!

So what are the products that you'd recommend that are better than JetSeal? I just got a new car and live in South Florida, so I want a good weather protection for it. I applied the JetSeal hoping this helps protect. What are your thoughts?

Hi Jim was watching a older video of yours. You may stop Maguires hybrid ceramic spray versus Maguires hybrid ceramic liquid wax. And personally I like the spray wax better absolutely you’re right the technology has come far enough where you can get plenty of protection in a spray. But once in a while I like to use a paste wax. But for me it must be easy to apply and easy to remove I don’t want to break my arm removing it. What I like is. S100 paste wax it’s carnauba . I’m sure you know that. I like to use Maguires ultimate paste wax easy on easy off. And another paste wax I like to use is poor boys world. Natty’s paste wax . All three of them are very easy on easy off. If I want really long durability but it is a little harder to remove. In the beginning of the spring I’ll put on Fusso 99.That’s just a short take on the wax is I like.

The results don't surprise me after looking at the Jet Seal SDS. Water: equal or less than 30%, Dimethyl Siloxane (where the shine enhancement is coming from, silione oil) equal or less than 5%, Carnauba (which I was surprised by with marketing claims as a synthetic sealant) equal or less than 28%, Diatomaceous Earth (thickening agent?) equal or less than 4%, Aluminum Oxide (mild polishing agent?) equal or less than 20%, Isokanes (by my research, looks like a chemical binder or solvent carrier?) equal or less than 30%, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon. Here's our synthetic nano-sealant!) equal or less than 20%. All other ingredients are so low in concentration it really doesn't matter in terms of volume by weight.

CG waterless wash is legit as hell, along with VRP for engine and plastics detailing. Other than that I don’t feel like they’re the benchmark in detailing as they once were a few years ago. They need a grand-slam product and they don’t really have one that came out recently. I still turn to their videos for “How-to’s” but other than that I don’t purchase many CG products.

Jet seal is an awesome product...works wonders....Walmart and Walgreens and napa need to carry this product!!!!! Send more to hawaii!!!

So what's better than JS?

Thing is they say to use the hydro then top it with her seal then a wax.

You should do a Proje Ceramic vs Tlc2

Review on Adams h2o guard and gloss please 😁

Test WoWo's crystal sealant! See if it holds up to its 9-12 month durability claim.

It also says give it a 12hr cure time 🤷🏼‍♂️ .. I put 3 chemical guys products on my car recently. White light ( let cure for 24hrs ) Jet Seal ( let cute 24hrs ) Butter Wet Wax ( let cure for 24hrs ) then I used their cherry scented speed wipe ..

Great video ! Did you polish the whole entire hood on the other side also?

God damn it. I just bought this stuff for 40 plus tax at Canadian tire. I'm going to return it. I normally just buy the $10 mother's but wanted a sealer because people say they last longer. For this price I might switch it for the meguiars ultimate, that is awesome stuff

Go for seal and shine cost only 9.00 got mine for 6.99 and top it off with colinnite it’s been six months nothing stick bird bombs just fly off with just water

Yes my experience was the same...did not bead very well and sheeting was limited. Only used it once and moved to a different product all together. Failing grade from me as well.

I got a bottle of this years ago for like $20 and was not impressed. I still have the bottle about 1/2 full in the garage.

I got same results. Didn't last a month.

Would like to see an IPA wipe, then see how it behaves. Poor testing, in my opinion.

It says "Leave car dry for 12 hours until water."

Jet seal is a sealant. Hydroslick is a ceramic coating. They are not the same things. Odd you put them all in the same basket here. Wash with a stripper type soap. Clay Ceramic next. Then a sealant. Last is wax. Not so much a chemical guys fanboy, but this is very misleading imo, and not well researched. And this needs to be said.

Can you PLEASE do a video review on sprayway sio2 ceramic wax. Have only seen one video. I really would like to see what you think thanks Jim have a great day

Thank you very much Just had a reply from Chemical guys. They are claiming that their glaze Glossworkz Ultimate e glaze super Finnish with jetseal over it will last 6 months . There are no review on that Glaze showings it's filling capabilities. Wonder if that glaze will fill better than ordinary paste wax , like Fuso coat which doesn't fill much ...... After your review on Jetseal I would rather put Fuso coat over Glaze works in hope that it will truly last 6 months and have good water reppelancy , or even 2 coats of Fuso over that glaze. Could you please kindly make a video testing that glaze for filling capabilities

Hi Jim question about your opinion about it a couple of different products nothing on this video. Do you think turtle wax seal and shine is more durable than the turtle wax Ceramic spray coating. I think the seal and shine is definitely more durable. I think next year turtle wax will probably refine the ceramic spray coating and make it more durable

This is entertaining and all , but obviously these videos are targeting people who know nothing about detailing or detailing products. These tests are ridiculous and prove nothing lol.. Applying a sealer & wax then soaking it with a solvent and acting surprised it stripped it off? WTF ... lol... these videos are just as gimmicky as chemical guys labels SMH..

I've never used Jet Seal as a top coat.

Is there a >12 hour cure time? Could that have skewed the results

For the price, go get PolySeal from Xtreme Solutions.

That's good to know but what would you recommend for a sealant .?

Do you recommend using this or hydroslick after using Chem Guys p4 polish? Thank you in advance.

What is the best product to use then? I used to use chemical guys until they started filtering out their negative reviews on their website. I need a good product to protect my Santa Fe sport.

would you recommend this for carbon fiber parts protection?

Hey Jim I have a question. Want to take a fairly fresh ceramic spray coating it’s about a month old. And I want to try something else. I really don’t want to buff or break out the orbital buffer to get the stuff off. Do you thing going All over the car like I was prepping it with 70% rubbing alcohol would take the ceramic coating off it’s a spray ceramic coating.

Would you think it would be good if topped with wax

Was thinking about using this and topping it with seal n shine

It's in bigger Wal-Mart's here in az

Ouch. I have Jet Seal. But I also have Turtle wax seal n shine.

So which protectant would you say is the best sunscreen that isn’t to hard on the wallet for you? Please give me so options

Hi, is your blower good enough to dry the entire car? Price seems razonable

Can you a comparison of turtle wax ceramic vs hydroslick!

CG isn't all that impressive. The only two things I've ever used and liked were the VRP and their waterless wash. Everything else is beyond meh.

Nobody has made this video of ethos Ceramic wax Pro versus McGuire’s liquid ceramic wax. You know the stuff in the green bottle. Can you please make that video it would be great and you would be the first one to have it.

It’s amazing cg has made it this far. Too many idiots giving them their money

What is the little black blower you use in your videos?

What do you recommend

Honest and fair review, much like we (XaronFR, German channel) found. :(

Jetseal= no protection = a waste of $40

Can I apply it to the headlight after I restored it ? How long does it last .

should do vo7 quick detailer

Is any of the CGs stuff worth the $$? I am planning to buy one of their All Season Arsenal Builder kit, on sale & a 20% discount. Is it worth it? Seems that for the price it is. Reading the comments, their higher end waxes, sealants & coatings aren't that special?

You didn't even apply it evenly or the right way

So ......Hypothetically ! If my car gets hit by a MAC TRUCK and fuel starts pouring out and my car catches on fire .... CAN I SEE THE FLAMES BEAD OFF OF THE PAINT ? JUST ASKING FOR A FRIEND... LOL ..

LOL CG is one of those marketing brands that I can say I will never purchase again. I have their car soap which is, OK I guess but V07 and butter wet wax, neither of which i would bother touching again

Hey!) What sealant will you recommend? Thank you

Needs to sit on the paint longer than 20 mins

Wow! OK here is the deal. If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing its stupid. If you judge a paint sealant by its ability to withstand harsh wheel cleaning chemicals, it will make it look as if its no better than spitting on your hood and rinsing it off with a garden hose in 30 seconds lol. Point being, this may not be a good product at all, but the test was not exactly fair to the sealant. The bottle said it was this and that but it does not claim it will not be affect by a wheel cleaner. This is why companies are forced to add warning labels that read something like, "DONT EAT THIS. ITS RAT POISON". Because people will eat it and then say we'll it didn't say not to lolol. OK jokes aside I won't be buying this product hahahahaha. But still. Put it up against some other ones its not likely that many would last very long against wheel cleaner. Lol. I've used many chemical guys products and I like them. But I take really good care of my car and I can't sat I've ever tested them against brake cleaner lol. Anyway thanks for the vid anyway but would love to see how this one does against other products.

What did he use to kill it

I thought jet seal was supposed to be used for like headlights and rims, and glass lmao i wouldnt use on car paint.

great video and product review jimbo. nothing bias about ur tests.just 90% cg products really suck and over priced.lets not 4get over saturating detail world with endless products. b well

Ive put this on my tacoma tailgate and it does not even last a week

I like hydro line this matte take longer and dull my matte

still using good old 845....

I took a small break from Detailing videos...has your production value gone up?

Can you try Blazin Banana Spray Wax

If you're going to post on the Internet, then LEARN CORRECT GRAMMAR. The word is "THAN" and not "THEN." "Than" delineates a choice - "I'd rather do this than that." "Then" shows the ORDER in which something will be done - "First I'll do this, THEN that."
