Just ordered the original-recipe Fusso from their US distributor. For $30 shipped. Absolutely bananas.

Thanks for this video. The CQuartz looks like it's been holding up well. I'm thinking of moving from Adam's Graphene to CQuartz 3.0. I've also seen people running CQuartz SIC as a topper.

I’m a bit of a dinosaur and just starting to mess with ceramics as I considered it all hype until it’s been around for awhile. There’s always hyped up products in the detailing world. I hit my bike recently with my first ever ceramic coating and I chose Armor Shield IX. I saw so many folks saying it was easy to apply and was a no shitter that I chose that as my first go. It’s good to see that it seems to hold up. Some channels are just schilling for whoever pays them, but I’ve seen it pop up so many places schills and non schills alike that I figured it was solid. Cost was very reasonable, application was straight forward. Good to see it holding up. I think it’s a pretty legit DIY option.

Scott, rain is definitely the hardest part of a test. I'm in Seattle and notice products definitely wear faster in the fall to spring around here, and quickest on the lower portions of a car that receive the road spray from freeway driving. I'm typically having to reapply on the lower rockers and bumpers after 2 to 3 months during the rainy seasons

Glad to see CQuartz lite doing good! Getting ready to apply to my daughters Camry!

I've had UK 3.0 on my car for almost 18 months. It is still as hydrophobic as it was when I put it on. The stuff is great

[brandonbeers]

With u on the Fuso.
I’ve applied it to some boats and it’s doing it’s job.

Another great video, thanks! I’m surprised IGL is looking as weak as it is tbh. As a novice to car detailing my inexperience is the ONLY reason I hadn’t purchased fusso coat before anything else. Probably best performance value out there. I’m going to look into Gloss It. That’s pretty crazy and a surprise. Right now I’m using Adams spray graphene with graphene wash and graphene detail spray / dry aid. Just for ease and price when they have sales on the website. So far so good, although obviously not the best. Thanks again!

the KB diamond spray looks like a solid one especially if it's used as a standalone in this test.

Cquartz Lite for me! Just have to be aware of the 6 month shelf life once opened with those big bottles.

I love their coatings, but my knock on CarPro is you can't find their SDS sheets anywhere. I went to a fellow detailers shop who uses their chemicals, and I fully understand why they're hesitant to make them public after reading the warning labels on Lift, Tar X, Hydro2, Perl, Iron X and Trix

Hey Scott. I appreciate your videos. Honest and above board. I am happy to see Avalon King holding up in a couple of your test panels. Unbelievably easy to apply. I have never used CarPro UK 3.0 but extremely consistent. I am getting ready to use Kamikaze Miyabi topped with Kamikaze Zipang on my mom’s Mercedes E63 AMG. If you ever get a chance to review those, I’d love to see it vs Nano Age or Nano Bond. Thanks for what you do.

[James-pkjf]

Min temp 26°c? Wow. Thanks for the update.

[karlinwilliamson]

Do you feel fusso coat or avalon king is more durable. And thank you for the great reviews

[fskof]

Fusso is great stuff. 👍 Not only does it last a full year it also prevents etching from bird droppings, acid rain or water spots. Get the old version while you still can because I’m hearing the new version doesn’t last as long. The new version comes in a different container.

[kostas]

Fusso coat and Cquartz LIte the most impressive for me so far. Meguiars ceramic wax is not consistent on all tests, however you can renew it in a couple of mins, same with seal n shine. Difference between light and dark fusso coat?

[holybusiness]

Owners Pride surprised me. I am not confident that it will last 7 years on my SUV. They seem to be a marketing hype-train. Starting to regret that I got my SUV coated in what may be a below average product. Thanks very much for the work you put into these awesome comparison videos.

[gabevillarreal]

I've been using fussocoat soft99 original formula for around 3 years on the tops of my car. Hood roof and decklid of trunk with excellent results! I use Nufinish Better than Wax Ceramic Spray on the sides bumpers front and back as well as the glass with tremendous results! The Nufinish Better than Wax Ceramic Spray is excellent! And really really long lasting on windows!

[peteyification]

Yeah the surprise is the coating I paid upwards of a grand to get installed (Jax Wax) was just marked as weak at 7 months! 😂😢

Mine has been on for about a year and a half.... Besides the bottom of the doors where salt hits, it seems to be doing a lot better. However, I use ceramic shampoo, so that probably helps a lot.

[bencwang]

For the turtle wax hybrid ceramic spray, did you apply two coats 24 hours apart? I couldn’t tell from your application video how far apart the two coats are. The reason I’m asking is turtle wax only claims 12 month durability with two coats 24 hours apart. Wondering why it seems to last less than seal n shine.
