    i unashamedly took your advice a couple of years ago now when i did my Volvo, "home brew PW" for in between steps and a "commercial" one for the last stage , ok i used one you didn’t test this time, Upol slow, Still have most of the 5l of Upol as your advice saved me £.
    Yes I noticed a Slight difference in effectiveness between the two with the nod going to the commercial one, but when you’re dealing with a large Volvo estate the £ saving is Worth it IMO.
    Very nice to see your advice stood the test of time And a head to head with some of the commercial products and the result was it Still looks as good now as freshly done.

    One more option for you to consider is the Koch Chemie "Sil". Cost for 5l is 25 EUR where I'm from and the label suggests you should dilute 1:4 with demineralised water. Found it to be a great cost / performance solution.
    Also wish you touched a bit on the topic of gloss loss / hazing when freshly refined panels are wiped with pure IPA or undiluted PW.
    It's a bit of a hot topic on detailing forums. There's a lot of supporters of wiping with pure IPA for first / WIP inspection. On the other end there's just as many people who are against, as it's basically reversing all of the hard work that was just put in to the refining process.
    My feeling is that while Gyeon is not as strong you can be rather liberal with the amounts you're spraying, and potentially do multiple passes without risking the hazing effect. Should be "noob friendly". Upping the strip-ability from there can easily bring unwanted effects and reverse your work if you're not careful (or simply not aware).
    Personally I have a very similar work routine. Would use diluted IPA solution for the WIP inspection, and a diluted Koch Sil for the pre coating wipe.
    Great work as always. Happy to see someone is trying to put more thought in to the topic shares the findings :)

    • @ForensicDetailing

      never wipe with pure IPA mate. or I say never I would not do it, I would not go about 30% really. SIL is 50 quid now i think in the UK. Gyeon I think maybe a touch milder but limonene is very nice, I think its a good product. Im gonna look to put limonene in my homebrew i think. Koch SIL virtually is pure IPA I think mate.

    Incredible forensic review. I greatly appreciate your dedication. With your information, I have decided to add the hot water soap wash to degrease the polish oils. Brilliant and yes, you might induce a few very minor scratches prior to putting the ceramic coating on, but I have always thought about washing the car before coating, but as you said yourself, you talked yourself out of it! LOL. But I am hoping this will add a little more durability to the life of the coating. Jon, you are simply amazing.

    @johndoe6032 Před rokem

    Thanks for this comparison. Glad you mentioned that it's important to do a strip wash before the IPA wipe. I think if you do a strip wash plus the home made IPA wipe it should work just as well as any brand wipe. A good strip wash soap and IPA solution should get the paint completely free of the polish. The wash should get the majority of the polish off, and the IPA will get whatever you missed in the wash.

  • @emillindblad3059

    The issue I have with washing the car after polishing is that it's really hard to dry the car without properly wiping with a microfibre towel instead of using a leafblower/car dryer, since there is no hydrophobicity. This will definitely leave some micro marring. Also getting it completely dry, not to ruin the coating process can be tricky. Using panel wipes have worked great so far and I'm going to continue with those.

    Interesting test. I’m thinking of coating the wife’s car this spring so this is good timing on this topic. I’ve always used IPA diluted with distilled water for sealant applications so I was just going to do the same thing with Gtechniq coating app. I’ve seen some pro retailers using dupli-color foaming panel prep in a can. I think auto body repair shops use this before painting. I think that would work as well but it’s a very harsh chemical stripper. For my Subaru with very soft paint I probably want to be less aggressive. And I know using undiluted isopropyl alcohol can damage some softer paints.

  • @Aerouu
    @Aerouu Před 3 lety +1

    Very useful in depth info, Jon. Could help beginner detailers troubleshoot coating problems. Great idea with the sanding a polish oil. Would be great if you could do a follow up select two distinct panel wipes (a water one and a slovent one) and do a vice versa test with polish follow up by a coating on a panel and measure durability. This is some wiki level info here. While most videos concern themselves with just the coatings, it is priceless to know how different polishes, panel wpies and paint systems react with coatings.

    I’ve seen ceramic coatings last as long while with just a panel wipe after polishing. However, I’m not doubting washing/degreasing after polishing could provide even better results. Personally, I will never do it, as it an extra time consuming step that can also damage the newly polished finish.

      cheers m8. 1st test was a fail really. I would apply the coatings normally I think it wider strips and buff. And observe them for 6 months. putting them on a car rather than test panel would be better i think. 2nd test is valid and has a use but I think the sanded panel filled with oil is a lot harder to degrease than a smooth normal panel. so its also not that brilliant. but the IPA mix did not fair well in that test. so learnt some things I guess. its important to sort of just say when things dont go well and talk about if the test was flawed.

  • @BrianW1612
    @BrianW1612 Před 3 lety

    Interesting subject Jon! I am thinking if the paint wasn't sanded these may have performed more similarly, even the home brew. I think the jury is still out on whether the home brew is any less effective, certainly seems to have done the job for ceramic coating prep. Suspect it just struggled due to the polish not sitting on the surface but instead becoming ingrained within all the surfex imperfections.

I think a sponge might actually be good at this.

    Then iron remover and clay bar stage pending how bad contamination is. Then wash again with Dawn soap and or P&S pearl to end with a pH neutral soap 👍

      Sorry maybe I misunderstood your comment.
      I get your first point because after polishing you could potentially put scratches into the clear coat from washing again.
      But your second point though is the whole idea. The point in using the washing up liquid is to remove the residue left by the polish and degrease, any protection will have already been removed by carrying out a strip wash prior to polishing to remove any wax or sealant. If you don't then you're probably wasting your time and polish and aren't going to remove much if any clear coat because there's a barrier there. But by polishing the panel you will be removing any protection anyway...eventually.

    I believe that for best results you may have to dilute ONR with filtered boiled water that has cooled down slightly (obviously) and then used that to remove the brunt of oils off the surface, then go over with IPA/ Prep.
    ONR is my clay lube, drying aid, quick detailer and now my pre-panel wipe of choice, something with that much ability to leave the surface without detergents residue is ideal for me, I will test this out soon I think.

      I’ve never heard of anyone boiling water with ONR. I just use distilled water. It’s like 60 cents a gallon. I’m a huge fan of ONR and use it for everything too. What’s the benefit of boiling? I’ve also heard that onr can leave behind polymers. So maybe that’s not the best idea for paint prep if that’s going to be the case. Good for rinseless wash though. For paint prep I think I’m going to stick to IPA.

    John, I was compounding, polishing and waxing my car over the past 2 days using maguiars. Unfortunately I have to do this outside. When using the compound and 205 polish I found it was hard to remove the polish despite working in small areas at a time (machine). So I tried using Angel wax easy strip and found I had to keep adding it, it would not dwell and lift in one go. I then experimented with auto glym fast glass, absolutely unbelievable at removing the left over polish.

A glass cleaner can make a great panel wipe and a good panel wipe makes a good glass cleaner. panel wipes though are not for removing the big thick layer of polish they are for degreasing panels after you wipe the polish off. you should work the 205 a bit less so it does not bed down. the new formulate ultimate compound is better in this regard. one tip with 205 have a bottle of DI water and if the 205 stiffens up and dries during use then one fine mist onto your buffing pad will help. you can do this with 205 but not other compounds.

    some say, these products dont strip competitors wax, only their own 100%. be interesting to see, i guess theyd only test with their own waxes, would make sense. I found TFR very good at striping everything, if a little harsh so maybe APC would work being a degreaser and solvent

    It seems like washing with hot water would clean well enough to pretty much make the IPA wipe after a waste of time. Only issue is I'm not sure how I could go about washing with hot water (keeping it hot through the wash) and dish detergent.

    Informative as always Jon. I wonder if snow foaming the car with BH Autofoam with some Surfex mixed in after polishing would be sufficient or whether a full contact wash would be necessary. Curious whether it actually makes any difference to the durability of coatings.

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  Před 3 lety +2

      i think it would be sufficient yes. the contact clean is more to shift the dirt isnt it. so a prewash would be ideal but its drying it i think that could be the problem.

    • @k.hussain360
      @k.hussain360 Před 3 lety

      I see what you mean about drying, although it could be the companies are making an assumption that the detailers are using water filters when rinsing the car and blowers to dry the vehicle as opposed to just using a dry towel. Although in the Gyeon instructions I think it mentioned using a chamosis didn't it. So possible tail chasing as a result.

If so, where would you say it would fit in, performance wise, with the ones in this video? Was looking at it and seems good value but not much in the way of reviews of their stuff aside from the shampoo.

  • @thecrypticgamer833
    @thecrypticgamer833 Před 2 lety

    To be fair wouldn't a better test have been just to polish the panel to bare paint. Apply a coating of something easy to strip off. Tape off the test sections then run a last step correction compound over each section and buff off. Apply the panel wipes to each section, wipe off then remove tape (The initial coating will allow visible separation of test sections). Then simply do a water repellence test. Clean, bare residue free paint will have extremely poor hydrophobics so the more hydrophobic a section is the less effective the panel wipe was.
    I know this vid is getting on a bit and I'm late to the party but maybe something to consider in the future or you could tell me if you wish why everything I've said is complete B*llocks. Keep up the good work.

      as opposed to just a panel wipe on its own?? Im not 100% sure but I think hot water and water based degreaser like fairy liquid really does break down polishing oil. and then the panel wipe can get the last remaining traces of oil.
      its hard to know.. but they fact 2 of the panel wipe brands suggest you use hot water and soap before the panel wipe suggests it might be important.

      APC is a mix of a load of surfactants. EG its a detergent blend. SLES is just one material. But essentially no one is going to have SLES or want to buy some just for this. But also surfex seems more effective in there than SLES. its more powerfull as an emulsifier.
