at around 14 minutes Im talking about top coats and said C1 a couple times but meant c2 :(

Brilliant comparison 🙌🏼, can we please get a 2021 update 🥳🥳🥳

This project was a huge undertaking that produced arguably the best non-biased comparison out there. JMO.

Possibly the best review of any product I have ever seen! Unbiased, measurable and considered! Thanks so much!

Greetings from Metro Atlanta GA, USA! This was an excellent comparison testing of three highly rated ceramic car coating/maintence products! Kudos to you for the hard work and thoughtful consideration of all three companies. You've given car owners around the world very good, unbiased, and helpful opinion on these products. Again, job very well done! Thank you!

This is the most helpful, and articulate Video I have found on Ceramic coatings across the entire internet. I have learned so much more and understand Ceramic coatings greater. Very well done good sir!

Jon, thanks for putting in so much effort in this and all your videos. You provide astonishing attention to detail and unbiased testing, whilst delivering your content in plain English.

Brilliant review. Yes, folks are still finding this video. As an American, I can only say, you've done a proper job comparing these products. And sans the showboating, fanfare, and obnoxious music of the other channels. Keep up the great work! Everyone, consider a $1 /month patreon subscription to facilitate this gentleman to produce more videos.

Amazing amount of effort that you went through to do all this testing. Your channel definitely lives up to its name. Thanks!

It's great you are making detailing more quantitative as I find subjectivity can get in the way of progress

Great video. Jam packed with information. I have been on the fence with trying a ceramic coating. This really helped give me a perspective on the different options.

Another good forensic video, i love how you structure the test and the criteria. Very informative, love your productions.

Amazing amount of work put into this video and first I've ever seen on your channel. Keep up the amazing work

I have watched thousands of videos on KZfaq. I have never left one comment ever. This is the best informational video I have ever seen. Perfect. No flaws at all. Everything I needed to know in one video. Great job

Fantastic review! Thank you taking the time to put this together!!!

This has to be the best video on testing and results and comparisons. Visuals demonstrations. Definitely subd

Great video, thanks for taking the time to do the research! It would be interesting to see a side by side of how the US and UK version of CQuartz compare. Have you tried mixing and matching different base and top coats with different maintenance sprays? I'm curious if you could create a hybrid system that beats the individual sets.

Great Review John! thanks for taking the time on what must have been a difficult test to put together.

Excellent review, I've been thinking of moving up to a ceramic coating. The thing that puts me off is i dont have a garage to put my car in and let it cure and steer clear of water spotting . Great channel, thanks for all the info you give out 👍

Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr forensic smart arse 😂 for my favourite of your videos so far! Please keep them coming!

Truly appreciate all the effort, making the video 👍🏼 Ceramic is more and more popular, Thank you 🙏🏻

Wow - Your video was just what I was looking for, a very objective and scientific testing. Thank you!

Excellent review jon.you can see the time and effort that you have put in to do this video.fantastic work!!!!.

Absolutely fantastic video!!!!! I could not decide which coating to use until I watched it Subscribed!

I applied Syncro a small 4 weeks ago and its realy nice coating pakkage. So easy to aply and remove and the looks and water behavior are insane.

dude your testing methodology is really awesome

I think this is your best review. Thanks for posting it ... very concise.

A very well presented & non biased test & you’ve taken a lot of time & effort doing this test. Very easy for people to make their own mind up as to which product to buy. Great video

Wow, it's like you read my mind. I was just looking for which ceramic coat I should go for.

By far one of the best reviews I have seen with clear unbiased recommendation. Thanks for demystifying what I agree from research being the best!

What a great video. Fantastic review! Helped me choose what to go for. Thank you!

I applied Eco V3, in two layers, on my Lexus in Sept/Oct 2017. The coating made it through a road salt covered Canadian winter brilliantly. For only being washed twice in that time period of 6-7 months, the coating performing very well, with water beading like it was freshly applied. Also excellent gloss and very easy application. I am very happy with Eco V3. The previous winter, I tried the CarPro CQuartz (non UK version) and application was very difficult in an uncontrolled environment and the product failed to survive a Canadian winter. Thumbs up to ExoV3! Unfortunately I have traded the Lexus in so I will now have to prep and coat the replacement GLK and perhaps try the GEON line! Thanks for the great videos!

Truly excellent video, thanks for putting it together. I have Gyeon Mohs (old version) and can coat on my car to test. With cure, I have found that diluting it 1:1 with distilled water helps eliminate the tendency to streak.

Enjoyed the video I also wanted to add. Appreciate the hard work you put into it.

Fantastic review, best I've seen, thank you for taking the time to review. I love the GTechniq on my cars, it really does the job.

Hi Jon as usual a super video, I have to thank you for all the hundreds of hours of work you've put in and given it to people like me. I looked into patreon to support you but at the moment even the minimum is more than we can give, but in the future I will support you. Keep up the great work I hope that eventually you make a good living from it, you fully deserve it.

Fantastic, proffesional video. Thank you. The time and effort dedicated to this is appreciated.

Probably the best comparison/review of top-tier ceramic coatings I've seen. Looking forward to the review of lesser known ones, like MR-FIX 9H and alike, which I think have seen in the background in your previous video.

Would love to see a new version of this with all the updated products and formulas

Atlanta, Ga., based mobile detailer. Thanks for your great videos!

Top shelf video as always! Thanks Jon 😊👍

From a Guy with 5 cars this was an eye-opener. the word "Ceramic" was mentioned to me yesterday on the Golf Course so I looked it up and found your video. Brilliant Video !! From a guy like me who cleans cars almost every day. One Hell of a lot of Preparation and cleaning though before you can apply, but WHAT A PRODUCT !! I am 70 yoa. and never heard of it. So its the 7 "P's" Prior Planning & Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance. I can Manage that especially on my 5.3Ltr. Twin Turbo, Quad. Exhaust, 8 cylinder, Supercharged, XKR Jaguar Convertible with Red Metallic Paint & Cream Leather. Keep up the Good Work with your Video's. Kind Regards, Keith

Super review FDC .... When im out of wax i will try a ceramic coat ..... Keep shooting good vidz

Thank you mate for your honesty and all those tests you did for us.

Another great review John & some really interesting results. I've always been drawn to gtechniq products but it looks like the competition have really upped their game. I really like the look of Gyeon's Skin top coat product & has definitely given you some great results. Keep them coming & well done once again. Cheers Mark

Cheers for such a great video. Even as a pro detailer this information is invaluable and also the amount of time it takes to test is unreal. A customer of mine had the Gyeon kit so I said I would use that rather than my usual go to of Gtechniq to save him some money. Couldn't believe my luck when I watched this video to find them both compared in great tests with plenty of detail. Keep up the good work mate.

Just became a Patreon supporter for you as you put tons of work into your videos! Last September I ordered CarPro Cquartz and was told it's a bit thicker and will last longer than the UK version, but needs to be at least 68 degrees so I will need to wait until March/April to apply. I am in the Chicago USA and can't wait to use it. Wished you had used the CarPro Cquartz in your testing. Thank you Christopher

Wow! Thank you for the review. Crisp and clear. Cheers

the best and the most thorough products reviews on youtube for sure. Have you heard about Kamikaze coatings?

i have started you gyeon in the last few weeks . Mohs is very easy to use ,skin needs a thin layer . great video

KILLER KILLER KILLER VIDEO , once again awesome in depth review!!!

I commend you for doing the hard work of comparing these. My cars coated with gtechniq (pro grade) and its been preforming great for a year. These top coats are by far the best investment people put in their car yet it seems no one has compared them up until now. I hope your video reaches many.

great video, going to amazon myself a geon syncro kit now that my paint is polished.

You're investing serious money into this channel! You also take the time to prepare your subjects and edit the videos, so l'm following your content.

Good video and nice to have an up to date opinion. Ive been using CQUK for years as a base on many cars and stuck with it based on how scratch repellent it is, Ive always topped this after every wash with a detailing spray with good beading - Sonax Turbo Detailer does it for me as I need something to remove watermarks and keep it looking pristine, Ive not waxed a car for 5 years (5 years this week in fact!) because of BSD and Turbo Detailer. The original C1 was king but Gtechniq pulled it with it being a bit unforgiving I think, but what a product.

Great video and thanks for being so methodical in your approach. Time for an updated version using CQUK V3.0 though ;) On a side note, I couldn't believe how good the resistance to water spotting was on CQUK alone! Amazing product and IMO, no need to add any other coat on top considering it performs so well on its own.

Thanks a lot for this, was looking for what ceramic to go with, you made up my mind. Subbed!

Awesome review. Great job. Keep up the great work 👍🏼

Love this video! I've watched it at least 10 times. Any chance you can do an updated 2021 version with some fireball dok do with typhoon top coat going against these guys? Fireball ceramic is my go to when the client is able to pay for a big hitter. What grade steel panels are you using?

very helpful videos, thnx for putting the effort for us to get the right knowledge !!!

Great review john,thanks for all hard work,

Another amazing video Jon! I have a few questions as I am looking to apply a ceramic coating in the near future. 1.) I picked up the carpro uk edition with the reload spray. Based on it's strong performance alone, do you personally think adding gloss is worth the time and money? 2. I can almost guarantee the answer is "not recommended" do you think a base coat of one brand could be combined with a top coat or finishing spray of another brand. I would say the manufacturers have specifically formulated their line of products to work best with themselves. 3.) Do you think multiple base coats can increase longevity? The majority of time and effort seems to be in prep. In your opinion would it be worth it to do 2 or 3 coats of a base coat? 4.) Related to my last question. I plan on using the cquarts on my wheels as well. If it's not worth doing multiple coats on the body work, would it maybe be worth it on wheels due to the agressive environment they encounter? 5.) I was wondering if you were planning on doing hardness testing on these products. Do you think that is important? 6.) My biggest question with ceramics is scratch resistance. How to correct when they do happen? And how to strip/remove a failing ceramic coat to apply a new one. Lastly, is the m135i what you drive now? I have an estoril blue m235i and I love it. I follow the forum "2 addicts" religiously. There is a lengthy, informative post in the detailing section about ceramics. I posted links to all of your videos relating to ceramics there because I think you do a great job. Are you in that forum by any chance? I'd love to hear and additional commentary you have on that post Cheers Jack

Excellent work mate 👍🏽 great editing 👍🏽

Incredible review!!

Thanks for a very comprehensive view on ceramic coatings. I purchased my vehicle two years ago and it had a coating as part of the final package, can I use these products ,base coat, top coat and maintenance or just Maint coat.?Thank you.

Wow, this is some production! Thank you for this video. I'm astounded by your level of dedication!

Fantastic review of these products, really helpful

Finally, someone doing a respectable high effort "scientific" review rather than all the YT amateur attempts that get far too many undeserved views for their 10 minute unexperienced "review". Great job that earned my Subscribe.

Excellent video btw. Very detailed well presented.

I sure wish you could test some US products. You always do such a great job of explaining and reviewing products. I enjoy your videos, Thank you!

Hi John. Excellent video as always! Do you have any reviews on the professional ceramic coatings. I wanted to use gyeon duraflex or durabead. Apparently for gyeon accredited detailers only! Why is that? Are they more difficult to apply than the gyeon synchro? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Great, honest review. Thank you!

Very informative video. I had Gyeon Mohs on my vehicle on top of Xpel Ultimate, but after having the vehicle rewrapped with Xpel Ultimate the ceramic coating now is Ceramic Pro. The vehicle looks totally different now, much glossier but also warmer looking, almost like a carnauba wax coat. Have you ever tested Ceramic Pro? or will you in the future? Thanx for your time

Best test or comperison of ceramic coatings until today. + Thumbs up for your effort

when you tested base layer coating, did you do 2 layers, each products? very informative video btw.

Very methodical work. Well done.

Man! This is a FANTASTIC video! Great work

chapeau!! you did an amazing job, a guide that everybody should look at before to choose the preferred product. I would suggest just to use more comparison table and the end of each piece to help people to go through as you have done so much different test, and become difficult to get out a conclusion just following you speaking :-)

Great review. So much work that must have gone into this is greatly appreciated. Gtechniq have got a new Crystal Serum Light which is a step up from C1 so maybe that would have done better??

Imagine giving much time in knowing how different brand of ceramic coatings works. You should have published a book about this. :D Though I'd go with Carpro, loved carpro products.

Brilliant video. Could you mix and match these products? I'm thinking CQUK base coat with Gyeon Skin as a top coat and CarPro Hydro2 as a maintenance layer, as it seems to be much slicker than Reload in my experience

C2v3 is for me is outstanding £6 for 100mil an it looks an feels great after application thanks for another great video

Great info! I've used CQuk on my Black 2016 Mustang. It was an incredible chore to buff it off after application, with the resistance and stickiness nearly yanking the microfiber out of my hands. It also had incredible high spots, likely due to the difficulty wiping it off. I adored the shine, but it only seemed to last about 3 months in the Chicago spring before needing to spring for more Reload and kept pumping. After one panel, I needed to dilute it to keep it from streaking over the black paint. I can tell you that CQuk did not fair well in the Chicago winter, although not sure if thats a fair judgement of the product - nothing fairs well in the Chicago winter. I'm planning on picking up the Gyeon kit and applying that once the sun finally comes back. Thanks for helping me along to that choice!

Excellent video! A lot of effort and what we all want to know.

Cquartz UK 3.0 is a beast! I have had it last over 3 years easily. I have applied it a lot and it never had but amazing results.

Another great review. Top guy Thanku for taking the time and energy sir. Very informative

Great John. I used hell alot the of time the Mohs. Now I am mostly apply the Mohs+ with dura Beat or gonna test the new Mohs Dura Flex packet. If you liked Mohs+Skin so much, you gonna love the proffesional produkts at least 10times. But you kinda let out the Kamikaze and Krytex and Nanolex, which are at the same level. I also love the Nanolex Base Coat and Nanolex Si3dHd

Great video. These types of ceramic products were first to market. How do the current spray ceramic products compare?

Great vid and thanks for ur time and effort m8👍 been wanting to try a ceramic but been a bit worried about the ease of the use with them. Got some jayswax ceramic wax to try now so easing myself in to it ready for the full ceramic😆

Probably the best review i have ever watched!

Absolutely brilliant review!

Okay I have used 2 of 3 shown (C Quartz and Gtech.) I agree with the results. However, I also have a cure for the sticky after application for C Quartz. Funny thing is that you can apply Pinnacle Coating V3 (2nd) right after application of C Quartz (1st) and hand buff both. All was done on a 2 ft square area at time. The end result is that my plush microfiber towels or any microfiber towel will slide off via gravity. This is on my porsche front hood. So, what you also get are 2 different molecule reflective surfaces. And for some reason it now looks like the paint has depth. I tested this on 4 Porsche cars year 2000 to 2015 911's with identical results. You don't have to believe me, but you do have to test this for yourself. I got a wonderful depth and it stands apart from the rest.

Hi. Great video. I’ve recently had (professionally applied) Gtechniq’s ‘Lite (possibly not released when you did your comparison) with exel v0.4 topcoat to my Porsche GTS with outstanding results. I plan on sticking with the brand when it come to maintenance with the use of their C2v3 Liquid Crystal Spray you feature. Can we have an updated 2021 comparison? Lovin the channel with your no-nonsense, clear recommendations and great tips. Keep it up! 👍

Wow, epic review. You nailed that one.

Dear sir fro. Your experience can i use some hight quality ceramics liken those to.protect the headlights after restoration? To protect them.maybe 1,2 years?

Great video as usual. I actually applied CQuartz UK after watching this video. Got to say, so far, so good, but it must be applied in good light because it’s very prone to smearing. As the weather wasn’t great, it was done in my garage where the lighting isn’t the best, so over the next couple of days, I found myself rectifying odd spots. On another note, how do you know a ceramic coat has come to the end of its life? On a other car I’ve had for 2.5 years now I have found that the paint work has become ‘squeaky’. Is this evidence of direct clear coat contact? This ceramic was applied by a professional and came with a 5 year guarantee, so shouldn’t, but we all know these things happen.

Hey thanks for making this channel ! about 8 years ago I purchased 3lbs of pure carnauba wax I tried to make my own and failed it was clumpy and chalky and I put it up on a shelf. I couldn't find and good "recipes" or" how to" until your channel came about ! I was inspired by the guy in UK that charges 40000 pounds to do a21 step wash and wax for supercars and hand rubs wax in by hand and I think they said the wax was like £10,000 for 2 lb's of it. so any how I thought ......I can do that ....and have some of the best wax on earth eh ! so I got me some carnauba and at the time the only thing I could find was use turpentine.... so I failed ....but now you inspired me to go back at making my own wax ! thank you.

Great video my friend! Cheers ... keep them coming! What about a glass coat comparison video?!

Awesome testing and video. Cheers from the US

Great video as always, will you be testing wax planets new shield of dreams v2
