what's the last car care/detailing video you've just watched?

The new foaming version of ONR. Don't see the need or point of it personally.

Their HPC 2.0 looks nice to work with. Primus 2.0 is great. Using it now.
 
I don't get what Reggy is doing with his own channel, when all his vids on there are featuring Labo.

Yes primus 2.0 is wonderful product. So versatile.foam cannon, pump sprayer pre soak. Wheel/tire cleaner. Powerful cleaner/degreaser when you need it to be, and also diluted down enough to a bucket wash solution.

And yet safe to use , backed by the vda certification

I have one of these hooked up to each of my Foam Pro and Multi Pro 12s. The one advantage the IK compressor had was that it would auto start increasing pressure when the PSI dropped to a certain threshold always ensuring a good flow of product. All this time my air compressors had the same feature but it was never advertised. Sometimes it's the little things in life that matter most.
 

Surprised by results. Not that Pans performed but how the ADS performed

I watched that a long time ago, as I recall the Pan stuff performed much better than the ADS, is that right?

Yeah during chemical torture tests… don’t really love (or hate) torture tests but surprising non the less as I had heard mostly great things

As I recall, the result was not that the ADS product was "bad", just that the Pan product survived longer.

Sheepstar didn’t have much success with ADS sealant either. One hit of BH Auto-Foam and it was down for the count.
 
ThisOldDetailingDude AKA Tim Mclaughin who helped Eddie get started on youtube stated on a youtube video comments section - on how he feels ADS have rushed to market to fast with a number of the products and it's hurt the end user and of course business.

I seen another test with ADS ceramic spray performed poorly with this torture tests too but i just can't remeber now who it was. Not that i expect many spray sealants to hold up to a bunch of very low and/or very high PH products.

Fron my exposure to the guy i think he's pretty honest. He's a detailing product junkie too.

Hmmm, I don't test these products like others nor do I have a YouTube channel but I know this about ADS, my user experience has been 100% great and their customer service has been "Griot's Garage-like"

In the videos ive seen the ADS sealant wasnt a great performer. In one i watched ADS Amplify perfomed better than the ADS sealant.
 
These screen shots are from the Carpro catalog. Take note of the pH tolerances...............................





Naturally, the ceramic coatings offer the widest spread of pH tolerance, ranging from an acidic 2 or 3 up to an alkaline 12 or 13.

But check out the numbers for the spray sealants and "ceramic" detailers, Reload 2.0, Hydr02 and EliXir only having a very small window of pH tolerance of 6 to 7.

If Reload, Hydr02 and EliXir are only used as a topper to an existing coating, this is less important. But if used as standalone products, you need to be mindful of what you use to clean the car with if you want to see the claimed durability numbers (3 months for Reload and Hydr02, 1 month for EliXir).

So, outside of a pH 7.5 (neutral) soap, using anything stronger will kill or severely harm any of those products. I would also recommend dialing in your soap dilution rates to prevent overdosing. Hitting them with Descale at pH 3.7 or Lift at 12.3 would only be used when preparing for the next application.

I know this is only Carpro, but hopefully it gives an indication of what to expect with "ceramic" spray sealants and how they react to chemicals, be that through normal washing or via YouTube "torture tests".

This is a bit surprising. I would expect more from Reload, especially since it's on the more expensive end of the sealant spectrum. I thought Gyeon Cure was a little lacking since its pH range is 4-9 but I guess that’s on the more durable side, as far as sealants go.
