38 WAY CERAMIC COATINGS Longevity Test - $9 to $1500 coatings FINAL UPDATE 18 - 1 YEAR 4 MO

I was going to run this until 1 year 6 months, but had so many failures this month, that there are 5 pretty clear winners here so I'm calling/ending it now - Who wins? Lets find out.

(or you can click here to get them - but you should still watch!):

NOTE: CARPRO CQUARTZ UK 3.0 TOPPED WITH CARPRO SiC IS INSTALLED IN PLACE OF ETHOS GRAPHENE DUE TO IT NOT ARRIVING IN TIME. I haven't updated the label, but that's what is on there!

I bet none of these manufacturers ever imagined someone would put their claims to the test lol.
Great work! 👏

[kimtyson]

Thanks for not being a sell out. Really appreciate you.

You're awesome! Thank you so much Scott, I will speak for the group here and say that we appreciate all the hard work that goes into getting all these tests started and then doing monthly updates & spreadsheet data entry.

I can’t imagine the attention to detail and hard repetitive work that go into doing these tests. So important that we got honesty and you sticking to your beliefs for not being bought off. Thank you so much for that!

Soft 99 Fusso Coat is the best bang for buck. One can will do so many coats and with the longevity that makes it the champ.

Great test Scott 🔥💪 glad to see EVO pro 10h was in top 3 coatings. We have improved the formula last year and should send you the new version for upcoming test ..

After having purchased Nano Bond some time ago based on some of your preliminary results, I'm finally going to install it on my car this weekend (after I've done clay barring and a paint correction). Can't wait to see the results! Thanks, Scott!

Your Channel and content is so underrated. The great work and effort you actually put and do is so helpful in deciding. The time you take to make these real world time tests.

[j.k.]

Thanks Scott. We all really appreciate all the effort that you put into these tests. I did notice that the Soft99 looked like it was trying to return from the dead. It might be better at the year and a half mark then it was at the one year mark 😃. Keep up the great work 👍

Scott, thanks for all your testing. Can't wait till you get back in the game. On your advice, I put the Adams Advanced Graphene/Ceramic coating on my wife's white Lexus, about two years ago. So far I am NOT disappointed. However, I do put a topper every fall and again in the spring after winter. Living in the Midwest, we do go below zero temps and up to 100 degrees in the summer. And this has been a daily driver. No complaints so far. I try to wash it once in the garage with ONR. Once spring comes, it does get a traditional soap & water wash, with light iron remover & water spot cleaning, then again in the fall before winter.

Ordered through link. Thanks for your commitment in bringing great content.

Glad to see you are separating the spray coatings and the pro coatings in your newest tests. I bought and applied the Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax and applied it to my hood yesterday. Wondering what the real world performance will be compared to static testing.

Fusso comes back out of NOWHERE! That stuff is voodoo.

[ohplezz]

I'd love to buy the Nano Bond but I live in southern Arizona and the heat would make applying it problematic. So I'm going to try the Car Pro C Quartz 3.0 instead. Thank you for the no BS review!!

[Topcoatdetail]

Excellent Scott. Surprised to see IGL didn't last long. Thanks for your hard work and dedication.

Scott, Another great test Video. More evidence that my decision to give up on these higher solids ceramic coatings was a good call. Many of these specifically on dark color cars can be hard to apply, and are not worth my time as a avid DYI car guy. I switched to Griot's 3 in 1 spray and as you show in multiple test it lasts up to a year which isn't much less than all these more expensive options. Keep up the good work!!!

[drewwagner]

Thanks again for your unbiased reviews. I love following these tests to see how products make out. Keep it up!

[rockingarchangel]

Thank you sir for your dedication to finding best products

[compuwiz]

Is there any benefit to using these “real” coatings then if they’re only lasting a little over a year? If there are spray coatings that last almost a year that are much easier to install, that seems like the way to go.

[craigkelly]

Thank you for your time and effort to make these tests happen Scott! Your channel is one of the few channels I actually value, there are too many out there that are paid to say what they say.
