Best DIY Ceramic Coating for cars 2021 | Easy to apply!

In todays video i put the application process to the test for some of the most well known diy ceramic coatings. I test out G Techniq Crystal Serum Light, C Quartz UK 3.0, and a new coating from Maxshine.. The Maxshine Graphene Ceramic Coating. All 3 of these are easy to apply and give great protection, but which one is THE easiest? ENJOY!!!

Great information and a good comparison between coatings. I want to use a coating on my wife's daily but didn't have the confidence to do it until these much more user friendly coatings are coming out now. I have 2014 Nissan 370z ("Big boy toy" not a daily) which is garage kept 24/7 365 other than the probably 25 times per year I drive the thing (which is nuts I know) and I only use a good quality Carnauba based wax on that one with zero issues because it is garage kept. I polish it once per year in the spring if it needs it. I still enjoy the whole wax process and it looks absolutely AMAZING. People cannot believe it's just a good quality Carnauba on it when I do take it someplace. With all the coating hype now days, people tend to forget that "wax is NOT dead" (yet). In fact, I still think wax gives the best look, hands down. My car beads up just as good as the best coatings. The one tip I can give for wax. PREP PREP PREP. If you want the wax to last for several months or more, ALWAYS use some sort of pre-wax cleanser to prep the paint. (Along with decon wash, Iron remover, clay bar if needed, etc. etc. etc.) Then the wax will bond right to bare clear coat/paint. And use a good quality wax too, not some cheap stuff from your local auto place or big box store as those hardly ever last very long. Invest in a decent wax. Swissvax and Zymol make good quality waxes on their lower range that don't break the bank and will give you MONTHS AND MONTHS of protection with proper PREP and maintenance. Of course Swissvax and Zymol make the $10, 000 waxes, but you can get some really good quality waxes from them in the $50 range which work ALMOST as good as the $10, 000 ones believe it or not! Very durable with proper prep. There are plenty of others out there, but those two brands are the best in my opinion after using them (and literally hundreds of others from cheap to expensive) for 40+ years! For a good quality lower priced wax, go with anything from Dodo Juice! Now for a daily driver....coatings are definitely the way to go. Just for the ease of maintenance factor and longevity and now with them coming down into the $80 to $120 range for a high end coating you can do yourself, it's way worth it.

Can u do a test with a bunch of coatings. To see witch coatings are the best and witch ones run water off the best

New to all this. Getting a new 2023 Toyota. So I get the car home, what’s the process before I apply the Maxshine?
A little CORNFUSED?
Foam Wash, dry, polish (with what) rub with alcohol to remove any oils then apply the Maxshine?
Thanks great videos

[WowRixter]

So at the EOL of the coating can you just clay and decon and reapply or do you have to polish off any residual coating that's left?

[SneakerHeadChris]

Hi Josh, would you still recommend the MaxShine Graphene Ceramic Coating or is there another now?

[ducman]

Great video! How often do you have to change to a new buffing towel?

[FiremkR]

I had a question for you. So I have been using Proje Ceramic Coating for years on my car and friends and families cars and honestly I have no complaints neither do my friends. I hear others on YouTube say that because it’s not in a glass bottle it’s not real ceramic but it’s keeps the paint super hydrophobic and shiny and so easy to maintain. I was wondering if you have ever used proje and if so how much of a difference is it if to apply If i was to purchase a “real” bottle of ceramic coating. Also fyi I am not a professional detailer but absolutely love taking care of my own car and friends cars I am the go to guy at work at the fire department if it’s relating to cars they all come to me. I would like to try a real ceramic coating to either my car or a friends car but I don’t want to mess anything up. Especially since I don’t charge anything for friends cars And I definitely don’t want to mess up my black 22 vw golf R.

Great video, and you got a new subscriber. A large number of the ceramic DIY videos I see for Tesla's show them putting it on the glass roof, would you recommend that for the MaxShine or should I leave the glass alone?

[mariarob]

When I do this myself, I will not be taping the sections off. What are the "rules" for overlapping? Not at all (hard to not), or it doesnt matter how much, or just a tiny bit? Not sure if overlapping is harmful to the finish. I plan on the Maxhsine. Thanks

Josh, Great review on the coatings. If you had to recommend coating for an out door application. (1 car garage with limited room to work around the vehicle, but can be protected inside to cure) which coating would you go with?

[smiledriven]

Thank you for showing this process! You’ve given me the confidence to try this! How well does this protect paint that chips easily? I have a 3 year old Hyundai Pallisade and my biggest gripe with the car is the paint quality is horrible!!!! The paint easily chips and scratches. I got a rock chip on my front bumper and the paint is bubbling off and chipping in that area and needs to be repaired now. There are random places on the side of the car where paint has chipped off which isn’t even an area that paint chips usually. I’m hoping a ceramic coat will help the paint become more durable and not chip as easily!

Hi Josh, great real-world review! For max shine do you know if it offers more sheeting than beeding? And I was wondering if you had a chance to test the new graphine max from maxshine and how it compares to the regular 7 year one, thanks.

[WilliamZeddies]

I picked up the Maxshine because of your video. What product do you recommend for the maintenance on the Maxshine?

[DreamBass]

I think you should still do videos that others have done. Something about the way you give instruction makes it easy to learn. So even if theres still a ton of detail videos, i personally have taken more information from you than any other detailer channel🤘🏽

[gregcardona]

Thanks for the video have a question would one bottle of the max shine be enough to do a Toyota Tacoma?

[DwightDePalmer]

Hey Josh, would really love to see a brief comparison between Maxshine Graphine and and Graphene MAX? Other than an extra 10ml its hard for me to tell which one is top of the line.

[bobbydelamar]

The link is not working for Maxshine Graphine Ceramic Coating.

[sevenpaulperalta]

Josh, could you apply 2 coats of the Maxshine, or is that not necessary?

[MrJmowood]

The white finger tip applicators, I can’t seem to find them on Adams website. Is that where you got them ??
