So you guys know how it goes, do a great wash, park in the shade, its 75 degrees outside and you wanna just run out and say do a quick vac...I did, then sprayed Griot's Garage Stinky Be Gone Light Em Up and thought...hmmm, MORE
Next was a quick top up of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s w/ADS Tire+, great! Then I applied CarPro Clarify Phobics to all exterior glass...solid!! Now what about the paint, I mean it was double boosted a week and has seen about 5 touch-free washes in that time...time for the "cherry ontop of the cake"
For this task I reached for the OTHER Labocosmetica quick detailer product in my collection, the one that lost out to my FAVORITE Ceramic quick detailer...Labocosmetica Perfecta Sio2, let's do this

So the initial application was very easy, wipe in, flip towel for final buff, slick but not as slick as Feynlab Ceramic Spray Detailer...or is it? I say this because after it cured I noticed it got slicker, used a damp Griot's Garage PFM towel from the wash earlier to level some over spray from the CarPro Clarify Phobics and its SLICK, even applying it it was but after...WHOA! Then the glossy reflection shots
This company Labocosmetica, as well as ADS, have been my favorites for 2025 for a number or reasons:
LABOCOSMETICA

Crack got the ball rollin' for me here and honestly, a fellow enthusiast THAT passionate about a brand is going to get my attention, plus he's a genuine car guy AND backed up his reasons, perfect
Their 3pH system for RW's got the ball rollin', a system I wasn't quite onboard with initially but my God am I glad I came around...AMAZING
Then Brrr sent me Semper, a product he didn't like too much but I took it, sent him some FrankenDetailer as well, same with Uncbrs this year as well. Anywho, a single ounce made great suds, cleaned well and totally rinsed down EASY...Labocosmetica does it again
Then I bought Purifica & Primus, 2 pre-wash soaps when doing a 2BM and wanna really clean before. Primus (I hate Primus, if you get this reference you know!) is the alkaline based product and Purifica is their acidic product. I've used both, whether in my Griot's Garage foam gun at home or on the foam cannon at The Bays Wheeling, each time you can "see the clean", then there's the beading when rinsing! Even once my car that's run through the touch-free wash about 5x's a week, both of these pre-wash products bring back even MORE beading
Finally theres Revitax, their wash and coat and I've only used on my g/f's TAOS, I don't think I've used it on the EN and let me tell you...well, you already know guys, Labocosmetica hasn't NOT left a "turd in the punch bowl" yet! Her TAOS has 7 month old ADS Phobics on it, maintained like a "normal" person, i.e. washed 1-2 a week at the touch-free wash with quality 2BM and pre-washes from time to time, plus some "spray on, hose off" products 1-2 times, so beading and gloss are really nice but Revitax just BOOSTED that another level and increased beading, gloss and self-cleaning abilities
ADS

Deyon turned me onto THIS brand! His credentials, passion, knowledge and certainly writing skills speak for themselves, so when he speaks, I listen and I'd like to think our small but passionate group do too
Without making this post even longer, I've gone into how much I like them, I mean it was their 3 year Quartz Coating that really spoke to me about the brand! But maybe a 1 trick pony...nope, Phobics spray coating was my booster coming out of winter, I applied it to my g/f's TAOS a week after she got it and recently to one of best friends brand new 2025 Hyundai Elantra N-line, came out great, ofcoarse
Now they're still new out here, adding product people would like instead of just throwing something out there. Case in point, besides the coatings, glass as well:
-Ghost...a legend already, real world testing, passed 100%
-Tire+...either as a stand alone or "boost" for Ghost towards the end...or the middle
-Tire Cleaner...a couple sprays and tire is turning brown already, look no further, unless you've got alot of Adam's tire and rubber cleaner, it's THAT GREAT
-HERO...now RW's are a tough market, I read somewhere that Bradley didn't even wanna offer one...but he did and it so versatile but use it within it's abilities for cleaning, great msintence product but if its another level dirty, well, grab Feynlab RW v3 or Carbon Collective, be smart here guys
-Amplify & Adapt, drying aids, gloss enhancer, WW for say your door jams, trunk or hood jams, wheels for a quick swipe for cleaning/gloss, find your favorite here, many uses
-Last but NOT least...Pilot! I dare you to find a better interior detailer!! From what it does, user experience, small, how it finishes, all of it! I liked it so much I bought a gallon, keep a bottle in BOTH of our cars for quick clean ups and/or boosting, just a star in the group
I've used other things from ADS like towels for RW's, their drying towel, phobic puck applicators, their crystal clear buckets and lids, almost everything...impresses! Then there's the customer service, whether it's during the week or even THE WEEKEND, no email of mine has gone unanswered but its the speed and throughness, care of the response...Griot's Garage-esque customer service and I've been with them for TWENTY YEARS
Congrats if you made it here, I too have favorites and this is how much I'm into atleast 2 of them (inserted 2 others in here, Easter eggs if you will)
