Great follow up, Dmitry! No, you weren't wrong - you were just reporting the results you got with the product as you received it. I agree, if they can get the QC issues worked out, this stuff could be pretty amazing!
@DmitrysGarage2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Mark! I think so too, I was a bit skeptical trying again, really pretty crazy that just 1 out of 4 total cubes (3 tested in this video) worked. Imagine if I picked the other two non-working ones first and then thought "well if two more didn't work" and never tested it? When it works this stuff seems to REALLY work, was very impressed with the working cube.

Prior to watching this video I was going to order the Lithium ceramic trim cubes, but not after watching this video. I can't even imagine wasting my time and money on a product that only has a 25% chance of having a fresh enough saturation level to deliver the great results like you did with only one of the pads you tried. It was the only one that had the pungent odor. Thank you for an incredible review and blunt truth.

Thanks for watching and the kind words! I kinda wonder if they fixed the product already. Like if it were my product id definitely publish about fixing it. I looked at some amazon reviews and a few recent reviews reported they got a bad batch. Which sucks because I want to like the product, when it worked it really worked well.

Incredible testing as always good sir 👍🔥 looks like it would be a great product if it wasn’t so gimmicked to death with the self packaged graphene cube wipe things
@DmitrysGarage2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Jamie always great to hear from you! I think this product has absolutely massive potential, but in my opinion today it is let down by lack of consistency and some of the questionable marketing claims.

Was the second small piece that it didn’t bond to rubber? It seemed awfully flimsy unlike normal plastic trim. Just curious as that might be why it didn’t bond to it. Kudos on 1450 washes man that is dedication right there.
@DmitrysGarage2 жыл бұрын
Its plastic, just flexible for wheel liner trim. Its not actually rubber. If you check out the first video i did you can see it failed to bond to the other panel too with the first cube i tried :(. Really awesome product when it works, but something is going wrong. My guess (just based on observation) is that maybe they dip these to saturate them with the solution and some of the solutes may have precipitated out between batches. Like think of layers settling out. Thats my best guess. Because it seemed like the one that worked stunk heavily and the others just evaporated off leaving almost nothing behind.

You have to prep the surface with the prep spray then when the product is applied buff off with a clean microfibre cloth. Didn't you read the instructions?

You know you're watching a follow-up video right? In the video you're watching we're learning that some of the trim cubes were defective. That's the point of this video. Here is the original video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8x_mZmkqL-3pXU.html&si=HlOvQT-uxIoSShjx

Clearly a good product when it works. Pity you only have a 1 in 4 chance of it working. Lithium need to figure out what went wrong and fix it. These products are not cheap and nobody wants to waste their time and money using a defective product. I have only used one Lithium product so far (inner space), and a I really love it.
@workerman65362 ай бұрын
I had one packet that was completely dry. I opened another and it was wet with product. They should just give you a liquid bottle with the purchase not these little ass cubes that are sometimes dry.
@Centaur0082 жыл бұрын
Nice follow up video. But I gotta say it's a pet peeve for me when companies don't have good quality control; I don't mind if a product lasts one week or six months for as long as I know that they will consistently last the same time over and over. The graphene marketing baloney is getting really tiresome, why not spend the actual graphene or it's marketing money on quality control? You have video proof and a reputable channel, but what happens when the average joe like us get a bad sample and can't test it out.
@DmitrysGarage2 жыл бұрын
Yea I know what you mean. I really hope they figure it out, because its an awesome product when it works. I would be super pissed if say I had some bad and some good sponges and half my trim came out a different shade than the rest. I’d be furious. Personally I don’t really like prepackaged applicators, but I can see how for some users they may be advantageous.
@klwthe3rd6 ай бұрын
Their quality control is terrible at Lithum. Their cubes are drying out during the packaging process as you can see from dry debris in the small pouch. Cubes are going out without enough solvent hence why your OLDER retested piece wasn't black at all. I would NEVER buy their products. Cerkote is a much better product.
@st3velj10 ай бұрын
Unless you edited out the preparation part, you didn't follow the manufacturer's instructions at all which for a tester/reviewer is absolutely appalling. The least could do is make that clear to anyone watching because you're not giving the product the best chance of succeeding. I won't be watching anymore of your videos because of that. Very poor in my opinion but i wish you well for the future 👍
@DmitrysGarage10 ай бұрын
Would you care to explain what you found was ignored? The folks at Lithium didn't find any issues with the testing. If you're talking about the pre-wash product, it was used. This is a follow-up video to the original video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8x_mZmkqL-3pXU.html&si=HlOvQT-uxIoSShjx and it shows the use of the prep product.
