Awesome video mate. I found out about Jet through Pan the other day and from that found my way here. Love your methodical approach and great way of explaining the process to a weekend washer like me. Subscribed.
I Nova Jet Coat my Tesla Model Y today.. Wow!! Third day of ownership but what a simple system and application. I'll be applying a second coat tomorrow and lustre later.
Jet streaks/smears like crazy in warm weather. Even my gf notices the haze on my car surface after jet is applied. Beadmaker has more gloss than lustre. Boost is just a specific cleaning agent for coated surfaces. I have used jet n lustre and went back to bm n paint gloss on my ppf. The remaining jet is used as a drying aid on my windows.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Yea i guess its the material(ppf) that i'm applying to and the hot climate that does not give me a good experience with jet. I need to use a damp towel to fully wipe off and it feels very grabby after that. Lustre, Bm and paint gloss are very slick during the final buff:) Definitely recommended for paint n ppf!
Congrats Sandro, yet again another great comparison video. I personally use Boost over a dry application of Meguairs HCW and find they work together very well. I like the idea of the discount coupon and that you acknowledge NV as Australian Produced. Keep up the great work, love the channel and have learnt so much from your content.
I decided to purchase Nv Jet & Boost(I'm in the USA). I applied Jet to my magnetic metallic mustang GT last weekend. Application was very straight forward. I used a MF applicator for even coverage, then buffed with a low pile cloth. Buffing off took some elbow grease, but it came off with no streaking/smearing, with only a few wipes. Did not feel slick upon initial wipe off. No big deal. I'm really looking forward to the water behavior with the first wash in a few days. I will use Boost sparingly as a drying aid.
Thanks so much for putting this video together. Their own website isn't very clear on what the difference is and the retailers seem to repeat what's on the official website.
I got all 3 and I'll buy more where is this description box thing? *Found nevermind forgot about the arrowhead facing down lol* Even easier someone post the code! Cheers Sandro! Huge fan of Nv thanks to you! I'll try out their glass coating too!
Thanks Sandro for the video. I was a bit confused but wanting to try them so thanks for clarifying. I just got all three and used the discount code which was awesome. I love the "evidence based" nature of your videos too. Side by side comparison and an objective approach is what I love to see rather than just opinion or company press release. Cheers.
Have been meaning to buy some boost and try it out on mine and my partners cars that I have coated in UK 3.0. So with the discount code looks like I'll finally place an order thanks Sandro and waxit 🙏
Just got Jet. It must be fairly benign because i had a lot of streaks (due to incomplete buff-off), but this was easily removed hours later by spraying with an ONR solution (1:256) and gently wiping off. (I suspect plain water would have worked too). It is very hydrophobic though which is great. I'll see how it goes.
Update: I've just done another area, taking more time to prep, and paying more attention as I went along. It's actually very easy to buff off, requiring very little pressure on the cloth. I was able to almost get away with simply wiping it on until it disappeared, without flipping the cloth. (I still did, just to be safe). It dries & flashes off very rapidly, so it's best to spread it rapidly, to get the most out of the product.
There's nothing like bead porn ! Thanks Sandro for this excellent report. Your hard work making these videos is truly appreciated. I have recently just received my order for both Jet and Lustre and am waiting for Boost to arrive. I will be using these on my Concourse Black E36 M3 which has already had the paint corrected. It looks amazing now, but can't wait to see it after the NV application !
Awesome review as usual Sandro. And as usual you make me spend more money 🙄. Seriously though, Jet I feel is becoming my go to topper for all the reasons you stated. The only downside when you compare it to other products here in Australia, is cost.
Thanks Sandro, your the best, please keep it up, as i have said i will be buying the nova jet luster as soon as i run out of the meguiers spray hybrid spray on SIO2 Ceramic wax. :).Also i will be recommending to my friends as well, what to use and where to by, when it comes to various issues with there cars, all based on your uploads, as your the best as far as i am concerned in relation to basic car detailing ie: the average car owner DYI, also those in the business of cleaning cars for a living as well. :) So basically your channels is the best of both worlds. :)
Hi Sandro!! Always great to check some of your older videos. This review is again spot on, and makes me very curious to testing them out. Unfortunately, as I live in Belgium, Europe, I can't get a hold of NV Nova here... at least not if you're willing to pay an extra 100 bucks just to import them. This brings me to my question: what is a good alternative to, for example Nova Jet? What brand provides the same capabilities? I'm curious as I am a big fan of excellent water behaviour 😊😎 Thnx! Happy NY!
Thanks and happy new year! A couple of other sealants that I’ve found to be very hydrophobic and should be available in your area are Sonax BSD and Meguiars HCW
I have coated a black roof with Cquartz lite and then Reload. Have used BOOST as a topper but have found that once the car gets hot or out in the sun it seems to fog up. It can be wiped off but will reoccur again. A non BOOST area shows no sign of fogging. Wonder if anyone else has experienced this. Love your videos, great for the layman and I suspect experienced detailers.
Hey Sandro! Nicely done! NV is definitely on the rise....and if they ever get a distributor in the US, they will set a new bar! P.S.....Have you heard of ‘GlossBaus’? They are a company/manufacturer out of Canada that makes this coating.(GlossBaus) I would love for you to do a detailed video on ‘GlossBaus’...they seem reputable and the product seems to be good....from afar that is! Cheers mate 👍🏾
I have all three of these products and have been experimenting with them over the last few months. I have noted some behaviour which is both counter intuitive and different to what NV and this video state. I have been comparing Lustre on its own against Lustre layered over with Jet. The gloss difference is insignificant. But the water behaviour (that is speed and completeness of water shedding off panels) is observably faster with Lustre on its own than the combo. I'm wondering if any other users have experienced this. It is a ceramic coated car which may be relevant.
I used Jet over Lutre for the first time today.... wow, very happy with the result. What would be the best car wash to use to gently clean and not noticeably diminish Jet, I plan to use Boost after every wash.
I'd really love to see you do a review on Clarify, Earaser and Meguiars Surface prep. There's been a lot of controversy over two of these IPA's. If you need you need some help with products reach out to me and I'll be more than happy to help. Your breakdowns and knowledge are beyond no others.
Great review Sandro, many thanks for the explanation and the coupon discount. You must have sent hundreds of customers to these suppliers over the years from your channel ! Q : Do you have to discard the microfiber towels after leveling and buffing off ? I heard with other ceramic coatings the towels get crystallized deposits in the fiber. Cheers
Great video, I have been waxing my vehicle and then topping with P&S Beadmaker, the vehicle is undercover at home and work and I find it lasts 4 months. I brought Jet and Lustre, will stick with wax first and layer Lustre, Jet and maybe use P&S Beadmaker as a topper.
Oh, Sandro. I was one who asked previously questions so I am looking forward to watching this several times. And thanks for that. Love this discount opportunity. And YES YES I am interested in those discounts and the comparisons you do. The explanation was great as well. So now we all know how to apply, choose and layer these great products. But I do have to ask. Your previous results with EVO & Pro were truly outstanding in the levels of gloss, looks and protection even after several months when getting those cars back in. Did you or do you recommend using any of these over EVO or PRO existing coatings as some suggest as the sacrificial layer or just carefully wash the original coating and leave alone???? Certainly, after seeing the results Luster for sheer looks and Jet for that incredible protection. And Boost is the new kid for the renovation of any existing protection which can be wax, sealant or coating, great you pointed that out too. Yes, ALL THREE would cover all bases. The point I wanted to make is if you already have a super-duper EVO or PRO coating with all the prep time and their already brilliant properties are you not going backwards by covering that up with any of these???? Or I assume they are designed to work together and instead enhance???? But again Sandro THANKS for the time taken to educate all us people passionate about making cars look their best. I appreciate like many others as it really gives us professional knowledge just by watching and saving us heaps of time since you already have conducted the experiments. You would make a good scientist. Reminds of the high school days trying to blow things up!!!!!
Grabbed my bottle of lustre from the back of the cabinet on the weekend to add LSP after a one step polish on a clients car. They were thinking of selling it but after seeing it they are most likely going to hold onto it for a while longer. The car looked fantastic. Lustre to me is the glossiest slickest spray coating around. I only stopped using it as i keep buying the latest thing to see what its like. Lustre got pushed to the back but has now come back to where it always should hsve been, front and centre. What confuses me a bit is layering other products on top. If lustre looks so glossy and its so slick, wouldn't adding Jet, mask those properties?
I find Jet doesn’t mask Lustres gloss, it actually compliments it will additional saturation- but you’re right that it will somewhat mask lustres slickness to some degree.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingi didnt think youd even see my post on a 4 year old video Sandro. I thought i was talking to myself. Lol . Have they ever modified lustre and jet like they did to Boost? And finally, do you know why they dont bring out a coating with a longer durability than 3 years? Thx
@rooboy99 no, Jet and Lustre are still the very same formulas they released when the Nv brand was first launched - I think they are examples of getting something right the first time and not messing with it. I’ve tested Evo against so many other consumer coatings and it typically outperforms most coatings that claim far longer durability - so don’t let a brand’s claims determine truth, as most of those claims tend to be over inflated 🙂
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingthanks Sandro. I guess these days with countless products and numerous versions/updates of many of these products, it's almost a little strange to not see changes but you're right, I'm not sure what they could do to Lustre other than increasing its durability. As far as Evo goes, I installed it on a clients car almost 2 years ago and it's still performing very well. I just don't have first hand evidence of its possible longer term performance as yet. Appreciate the reply mate. Hope all is well in your world.
Thanks Sandro for a detail explanation on the difference between these 3 NV products. I had just ordered the NV Jet & Lustre from Waxit Car Care, as I had already purchased from them following your video on Boost, a maintenance kit which included Boost and Snow. Thanks for arranging the discount on these products, it is much appreciated. Cheers.
@@bluecent As it has been a year ago, from memory I had preferred the Lustre over Jet. I used these as a topper for the Opti-Coat Pro+ coating that I have on the car, which is now just over 2 years since having it installed. I now use Turtle Wax Seal N Shine (Improved Formula) as the topper. The car is parked 24/7 outside, and Seal N Shine just keeps the car much cleaner and continue gloss and last longer than the other products I have used for a topper, including Opti-Coat Hyper Seal. I have neighbour's who comment on how clean the car is, even though I know it is dirty and requires a wash.
Awesome mate. Thanks for the discount code, it will come in handy in buying 1ltr amounts! As for future discounts/giveaways etc. I'm all for it if it helps your channel etc. On a side note - do you decide how many ads are in each video you upload or is it youtube?
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingNo problems mate, you give so much a few ads don't matter too much. It just varies sometimes on how many ad's are in each video. i think I had 3 on this, so not too bad. And I love the last few minutes, the music and just the beads was pretty relaxing!
@@lawrencegambale3683 I often skip to the end of a video, let it run the last little bit to the very end and then back it up to the beginning and have noticed the adds go away.
I'm thinking Lustre as a base/primary coat of protection (applied every 6 months), Jet as a topper (applied every 3 months) and Boost as a drying aid every maintenance wash (every 2 weeks). Would that be overkill, Sandro?
Sandro ciao. First of all thx you for your amazing videos. Because of you i have learn ( steal learning ) how to care my car my friend. I almost have watch all of your videos. Thx you so much. The guides that you make and the way that you make them are really on another level. I want to write down what i have learn from you and what products i was using and what i use now ( only S20 black and only lake country HDO pads) but it will take toooo much time and you will read until tomorrow :p :p So one question. If you had to choose between this products below what you had choose? 1. Soft99 Fusso Coat + Soft99 Fusso Coat Spray 2. CarPro Reload + CarPro Elixir 3. Gyeon Q2 CanCoat + Gyeon Q2M QuickDetailer ( or maybe better the new Gyeon Q2M CeramicDetailer ) 4. Nv Nova Lustre + Nv Nova Jet I know that a true ceramic coat will be better but i prefer the products kits that i have mentioned on the top. The first of every kit products will be use every 3 months and the second one for the maintenance every 1/2 week that i wash my car. At the moment i have use the first two kits ( i mean the soft99 and carpro ) and to tell you the true i think Soft99 beats by far the carpro kit. The 3 and 4 from yours experience will be better? Thx you m8 and i really appreciated if you will answer me. George from italy
Hi George, that’s really great to hear and I really appreciate the kind feedback! Gyeon can coat is actually a true ceramic coating so you will probably find it lasts longer than all the rest, and I think it’s actually pretty good overall. I haven’t used Q2M ceramic detailer, just Cure so I can say what it’s like. You probably know that I love Lustre and Jet so I do tend to recommend them, but if longevity is more important, then can coat should last the longest, Lustre may give you more gloss and Jet will tend to be the most hydrophobic, so in the end it depends what’s most important to you!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thx you Sandro, Thx you very much for the answer. I will try to found a way to buy this Nova Car Care products to try them out. Boost is important or Lustre + Jet it's ok? I mean for every 10/15 days maintenance it's ok to use Jet (after put first Lustre) ? or it better Lustre + Jet + Boost? Maybe 3 products too much? I don't care about longevity thats why until now haven't try out can coat ( also i don't like too much Gyeon products :p the only one that i use adter trying some of them is Wet Coat to my rims ) or use another ceramic like Uk 3.0 that i have bought it but never use it . Yesterday has arrived also the shinamate EX620 15 after seeing your review and i want to try it out to refine a little more my Jaguar F-Type (until now i used shinamate ero600 ) The problem with your videos is that you make me spend too much money :p :p :p (joking of course) Thx m8 George
Lol yes there’s always money to be spent on detailing products! But I think you’ll like the 620-15! You don’t have get Boost, maybe just start with Lustre and Jet and see how you go. Everyone is s little different, most people seem to like Lustre more than Jet and some people don’t like Boost as much, so it’s hard for me to say what you will personally like, so maybe just start with those two and if you like them you can always get Boost layer on.
I have traditionally used Jescar power lock and used various toppers over the years with the most recent being beadmaker. I am looking for something exactly like this. Thank you for the video and coupon. Using the all 3 method, is it safe on trim and glass, and will this be equal or better than my power lock step? Can I use the boost as a drying aid after each maintenance wash rather than a dry application and get close to the same results. Thanks Again
Joshua - My Powerlock (which I love BTW) sits in my cupboard, no longer used since I discovered Jet! And I use Boost after each wash and found it extends the life of my Lustre/Jet combo by quite a bit!
You could certainly stack them as they both have great paint enhancement abilities, but Lustre would be the one of the two that has the superior ability to add gloss and depth that’s hard to achieve on silver paint.
Awesome Video Sandro once again, my go to brand and products, anything in the works for NV as far as new coatings? Cheers I also find personally I can apply lustre to the hole car then buff off, still super easy to buff off and it might be in my head but I find it bonds better from doing this technique.
Hi Sandro, I hope you are doing well. One question, How can I wash the car without removing nova jet? Is water pressure safe to use? how about using a wet sponge or towel?
Using a pressure washer is absolutely fine and ideal, also a a pure car wash (with no interfering additives) like Nv Snow also at the correct dilution - 1:200 in a wash bucket is again ideal after the pressure rinse down to remove the looser dirt. You can also use Nv Boost V1 or V2 to maintain it after maintenance washes if you wish.
Yes, but I would personally recommend mixing Jet in a separate bottle with 50% deionised water (so 1:1) and use that after maintenance washes and you can use the full strength every couple of months as a general routine.
In my experience car paint will only except a certain amount of a wax, sealant, or coating, so at a certain point you’re wasting product as it predominately won’t bond - this can also change the user experience leading to things like smearing and more difficult wipe offs. At 1:1 or even 1:2 Jet stars to become more like a quick detailer, so you’re just topping up what’s been worn by the elements over a week or two, rather than trying to stack layers the paint can’t for the most part except. It also tends to increase the ease of application making a maintenance top up quick and easy.
Hi, I ordered Jett and Lustre from the NV Nova site and mentioned Car Craft Auto and Pan. Got a 10% discount code immediately. I was wondering, Would you use Lustre firstly and after two hours apply Jett or you prefer to use Lustre as directed and maybe add Jett two - four weeks later on top or Lustre ??? I actually have both products in hand ready to use but would like some guidance before I use one or both. Thanks
Lustre looks amazing on my car! Do you know if it is SI02 based or traditional polymer? I do not see any SI02 on its MSDS sheet, but maybe it is excluded from the sheet. Thank you!
I applied lustre followed by jet after having my car professionally evo ceramic coated but it was a windy winters day and not sure if i did a good job. I was thinking of reapplying lustre and jet again. Can I reapply on top of the existing coats or do I need to clay the car? I really hope I dont need to clay the car. Dont want to ruin the ceramic coating
I just received luster. I tried to apply it to my newly coated GTechniq CSL (washed twice and used Adams CS3 Graphene as drying aid). It seems to be very streaky. Wiping away the residue with multiple towels and I can see a thin film of it streaking in any direction I wipe the towel. Hard to tell if its streaking against the other toppers or what. I've had issues in the past with this thin film streaking on CSL with certain products.
Yes I’ve also seen this happen with certain coating and sealant combinations. Sometimes if you let it sit after buffing it it can further self level in a few minutes, and other times using just a very slightly damp towel can help further level it down. Other times you just have accept that it’s just not going to happen. But what I’ve also found is that as the coatings starts to age it should start to accept top layers a little better.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Yup I felt like I was getting better usability in toppers as my coating aged as well but it could very well be the coating or use of toppers rejecting the product...I'll give those suggestions a try tho. Thank you!
Hello I have a question I need help with. I live in the United States and just recieved my order of NV JET and NV BOOST. My truck is coated with Cquartz UK 3.0 for a year now and I use reload as a topper. I will be decontaminating the surface and re-polishing with carpro essence plus. OK so I have 1 1/2 bottles of reload left and don't want to waste it. Would you recommend I use reload as fist layer over coating then JET then BOOST since the carpro products with sio2 would all be meshed together. I would love any help please.
Thanks Sandro for your videos, very informative and has got me wanting to be more fanatical about my car. I was thinking of getting a paint correction then treating it with these NV Nova products. Is this a reasonable way to care for my car ? Should it be polished/treated with something in between ? Unfortunately I live in Sydney, otherwise I would love to get you to work on it. (It's a 2009 White Audi A5) Would appreciate any advice.
You certainly don’t have to correct the paint before using then, a good wash and decontamination can do wonders in preparation, but correction will obviously help in further improving and preparing the paint for any paint protection and getting a little more out of them. But don’t feel you have to, you can always just try them to start with and always try correction layer on.
Would Jet still work well using a spray on and rinse off method? Im looking for something that makes the surface super hydrophobic that you can just spray on and rinse off and then blow dry the car well. I work at a dealership car wash and we dont have the time to truly apply stuff and work it in around the whole car.
Do you recommend layering immediately after one another or should you apply lustre wait some time then apply jet? I recently applied lustre, then waited 45 minutes,then applied jet. Would there be any significant difference in this layering vs immediately layering? And definitely yes on promo codes, much appreciated. Don't mind supporting your work.
What is a good alternative for Nv Lustre? It's currently out of stock for the US. I'm thinking CarPro Reload? I want to top it with Nv Jet... already have Jet on order.
No it’s not too much and could be a good way to maintain the coating. You’d generally apply Lustre every 2-4 months depending on conditions and Boost can be used after every maintenance wash or two.
You can really apply Boost either dry or on slightly wet paint and I use it both ways. I’d divide the bonnet into about 6 sections for Lustre and about 3 for Boost and use about 2 sprays in each section.
Great review Sandro. Looking at getting all three Lustre, Jet, Boost. Which combination of microfibre cloths and how many should I be using from the Concours range (4 seasons, Jetstream, Thunderstorm) for each of these applications?
Hi Sandro i really like the Nova range but recently tried out the Lithium car car products and i have loved them especially Color Crush and Trim Serum have you tried these ones ?
Hi Sandro! Is Jet built on an SiO2 framework or is does it use another base? Wondering how Jet would be as a 6 month maintenance on CarPro Coatings instead of reload
I use Jet over CQUK3.0 and it works great. I have found that it has a better chemical resistance than Reload with slightly better hydrophobic properties.
Hello, i got both Boost and jet, how would you combine both products together for the best of both world? Im thinking Boost ontop of the ceramic coating for the si02 regeneration and then jet over it with monthly or bimonthly applications after wash? love to hear from you and the viewers too!
Boost is really formulated to break down after a wash or two so generally you’d use it as your maintenance sacrificial layer and top layer so it would be placed over Jet once or twice a month generally speaking in that scenario.
Hey Sandro...was hope you could help me with some advice. If I didn’t have the option to do paint correction would you still recommend do all other paint preparation and using the Jet/ Lustre combo? Specifically, I was wondering if I should clay the car with concern that I may add scratches or marring prior to applying these products considering I won’t be compounding or polishing. Would you say to still go for it and do all standard decon steps to best prepare paint for application? Thx for all the help you provide us!
Yes I’d still tend to recommend doing a full decontamination as removing fallout and traffic film is important to do periodically for the well being and health of the paint and it will obviously also help produce a better bond with your paint protection products. Unless the paint is very soft you shouldn’t cause too much marring with clay, but using something like Nv Finesse or another light polish even by hand should take care of any clay marring and additionally deep clean the paint which should also further improve or the performance of Jet and Lustre and boost the gloss and clarity of the paint, but it’s not mandatory.
Hi mate is it possible to do a review on the Nova Evo hybrid ceramic coating? Really interested to see how it works and what it’s like with nova jet and nova lustre on top. Might be asking a bit much lol
Just ordered all 3! Along with some of their soaps. Thanks for the code! Can you do another review and or offer when NV Pyro is rereleases? Please!!! I want some of that too! Going to test this system on my car vs Carpro system with UK 3.0 on my dads side by side for the next year. Testing my theory to see if coating still makes sense in 2019/2020. If my car holds up as good as a car treated with cquartz uk 3.0 and topped with reload. If it works as well I might have to call consumer coatings dead for the time being. Luckily we both have the same car. Around the same age. Should be a like for like comparison.
Hayden Mcfarland yeah I did the carpro is a little more slick than my car with the NV trio of spray ons. The carpro also seems to sheet water better than the NV. Beading on the NV is great but yeah at the same time I think the carpro has a better balance of beading and sheeting from what I can tell. So yeah I think the carpro has a slight edge overall even thought more of a pain to apply. Traditional coatings still may still have their days number though. At least in my book. There is some stuff that should be announced at SEMA this year (if there is one). That should be pretty awesome. I can’t say exactly what it is. But I have tested in person. Super easy wipe on wipe off and a unique carrier of the SiO2 that is totally different than the rest of the market. Should last around a year maybe two I am told. We will see!
Hi Sandro, did NV changed the formulas when they be switched from Nova? Brian from Apex showed that NV Jet darkened more than Lustre, you got the opposite results.
No the formulas haven’t changed, but there’s always variations in tests from one person to another which depends on many things like the specific application, the specific paint the lighting used to view it and even the level of prep and correction before they are applied. I have my way of doing those things and others will have there own way which can certainly influence the results, not only on the darkening effect but all other tests and results.
Hi Sandro, you sold me on these and I was able to order all the way from Israel using NVs US rep. I have Gyeon Cancoat applied about 3 weeks ago, would really like to top it up with Lustre for that extra gloss/slickness (highly metallic white paint), would the hydrophobicity of Cancoat be decreased with Lustre? Have you ever tried topping a ceramic with it? Greetings from Israel, I’m a big fan of your videos!
Lustre’s strongest characteristics are its super high gloss and slickness, its hydrophobicity is still very good but may not be as hydrophobic as CanCoat. The new Boost V2 may be worth a go as it’s really a balance of both Lustre and Jet and will be extremely Hydrophobic if that’s top of your list.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing so topping cancoat with it would mask the hydrophobic properties..? Might do a test panel and see if i enjoy it, 2nd car has Fusso on it and IMO slickness and self cleaning seem touch superior to cancoat, i like the feel of w drying towel on it and thought Lustre on top of cancoat would be able to achieve that Thanks for taking the time to reply! ❤️
*has 3 layers of Jet on car*
"How do you dry your car?"
"I hose it down"
Drops Mic.
Love using Lustre
The shine is incredible
Brake dust washes off
Car looks like it’s ceramic coated
Very hydrophobic
Lustre is my favourite coating & leaves the slickest surface I've ever felt. Quite addictive and would be my go to - if I was rich :)
You're a legend Sandro!
Lol. Boom. Ordering 1l of nova jet rite now.
I probably won't be buying any of these products I appreciate the video none the less. You break down the info extremely well..
Thanks again Sandro - Love the Concour/Nv product line. Been using Boost over EVO and it's AMAZING!!
man i love your videos. Appreciate the time you take to do the hard work for us

Awesome video mate. I found out about Jet through Pan the other day and from that found my way here. Love your methodical approach and great way of explaining the process to a weekend washer like me. Subscribed.
I Nova Jet Coat my Tesla Model Y today.. Wow!! Third day of ownership but what a simple system and application. I'll be applying a second coat tomorrow and lustre later.
Jet streaks/smears like crazy in warm weather. Even my gf notices the haze on my car surface after jet is applied. Beadmaker has more gloss than lustre. Boost is just a specific cleaning agent for coated surfaces. I have used jet n lustre and went back to bm n paint gloss on my ppf. The remaining jet is used as a drying aid on my windows.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Yea i guess its the material(ppf) that i'm applying to and the hot climate that does not give me a good experience with jet. I need to use a damp towel to fully wipe off and it feels very grabby after that. Lustre, Bm and paint gloss are very slick during the final buff:) Definitely recommended for paint n ppf!
Great video and feedback, just what I was after thanks Sandro
Congrats Sandro, yet again another great comparison video. I personally use Boost over a dry application of Meguairs HCW and find they work together very well. I like the idea of the discount coupon and that you acknowledge NV as Australian Produced. Keep up the great work, love the channel and have learnt so much from your content.
Thanks! for all of your support!
Appreciate it mate, my pleasure and thank you!
Awesome video! Love the discount codes, thank you!!
I decided to purchase Nv Jet & Boost(I'm in the USA). I applied Jet to my magnetic metallic mustang GT last weekend. Application was very straight forward. I used a MF applicator for even coverage, then buffed with a low pile cloth. Buffing off took some elbow grease, but it came off with no streaking/smearing, with only a few wipes. Did not feel slick upon initial wipe off. No big deal. I'm really looking forward to the water behavior with the first wash in a few days. I will use Boost sparingly as a drying aid.
Update? How did you end up liking it?
Exactly what I was looking for, Professor. Well played.
Very happy to see this ;)
Thanks so much for putting this video together. Their own website isn't very clear on what the difference is and the retailers seem to repeat what's on the official website.
I got all 3 and I'll buy more where is this description box thing? *Found nevermind forgot about the arrowhead facing down lol*
Even easier someone post the code!
Cheers Sandro! Huge fan of Nv thanks to you!
I'll try out their glass coating too!
Thanks Sandro for the video. I was a bit confused but wanting to try them so thanks for clarifying. I just got all three and used the discount code which was awesome. I love the "evidence based" nature of your videos too. Side by side comparison and an objective approach is what I love to see rather than just opinion or company press release. Cheers.
Great work Sandro.
Fantastic idea for the coupon, would like to see more of these.
Love all these in combo with each other!! Great vid bro 👌🏼
Nice review Sandro 👍
Have been meaning to buy some boost and try it out on mine and my partners cars that I have coated in UK 3.0.
So with the discount code looks like I'll finally place an order thanks Sandro and waxit 🙏
Just got Jet. It must be fairly benign because i had a lot of streaks (due to incomplete buff-off), but this was easily removed hours later by spraying with an ONR solution (1:256) and gently wiping off. (I suspect plain water would have worked too).
It is very hydrophobic though which is great. I'll see how it goes.
Update: I've just done another area, taking more time to prep, and paying more attention as I went along. It's actually very easy to buff off, requiring very little pressure on the cloth. I was able to almost get away with simply wiping it on until it disappeared, without flipping the cloth. (I still did, just to be safe).
It dries & flashes off very rapidly, so it's best to spread it rapidly, to get the most out of the product.
Great to hear that mate!
There's nothing like bead porn !
Thanks Sandro for this excellent report. Your hard work making these videos is truly appreciated.
I have recently just received my order for both Jet and Lustre and am waiting for Boost to arrive. I will be using these on my Concourse Black E36 M3 which has already had the paint corrected. It looks amazing now, but can't wait to see it after the NV application !
Hopefully these become available in the UK at some point as they look like really impressive products.
Really great review.
God damn it Sandro. Just popped in for a little know how and I've ordered Lustre and Boost and I don't even have a car!!!!!
My wife is gonna kill me.
Thanks a lot, Sandro!
I would mix those two Lustre and jet 🔥
Awesome review as usual Sandro. And as usual you make me spend more money 🙄. Seriously though, Jet I feel is becoming my go to topper for all the reasons you stated. The only downside when you compare it to other products here in Australia, is cost.
I love these products! Thx for the info!
Great review and tutorial. Ordered mine. Glad they are now in the US as well.
Thanks Sandro, your the best, please keep it up, as i have said i will be buying the nova jet luster as soon as i run out of the meguiers spray hybrid spray on SIO2 Ceramic wax. :).Also i will be recommending to my friends as well, what to use and where to by, when it comes to various issues with there cars, all based on your uploads, as your the best as far as i am concerned in relation to basic car detailing ie: the average car owner DYI, also those in the business of cleaning cars for a living as well. :) So basically your channels is the best of both worlds. :)
Thanks For this Sandro! Excellent explanation of all 3 products!
Hi Sandro!! Always great to check some of your older videos. This review is again spot on, and makes me very curious to testing them out. Unfortunately, as I live in Belgium, Europe, I can't get a hold of NV Nova here... at least not if you're willing to pay an extra 100 bucks just to import them. This brings me to my question: what is a good alternative to, for example Nova Jet? What brand provides the same capabilities? I'm curious as I am a big fan of excellent water behaviour 😊😎 Thnx! Happy NY!
Thanks and happy new year!
A couple of other sealants that I’ve found to be very hydrophobic and should be available in your area are Sonax BSD and Meguiars HCW
I have coated a black roof with Cquartz lite and then Reload. Have used BOOST as a topper but have found that once the car gets hot or out in the sun it seems to fog up. It can be wiped off but will reoccur again. A non BOOST area shows no sign of fogging. Wonder if anyone else has experienced this.
Love your videos, great for the layman and I suspect experienced detailers.
Wow. Didn't realise NV was Aussie. Will give em a go at some stage. Jet looks impressive.
Hey Sandro! Nicely done! NV is definitely on the rise....and if they ever get a distributor in the US, they will set a new bar!
P.S.....Have you heard of ‘GlossBaus’? They are a company/manufacturer out of Canada that makes this coating.(GlossBaus) I would love for you to do a detailed video on ‘GlossBaus’...they seem reputable and the product seems to be good....from afar that is! Cheers mate 👍🏾
I have all three of these products and have been experimenting with them over the last few months. I have noted some behaviour which is both counter intuitive and different to what NV and this video state. I have been comparing Lustre on its own against Lustre layered over with Jet. The gloss difference is insignificant. But the water behaviour (that is speed and completeness of water shedding off panels) is observably faster with Lustre on its own than the combo. I'm wondering if any other users have experienced this. It is a ceramic coated car which may be relevant.
I can't believe how streak free lustre is
I have and use all 3 and love all 3
I used Jet over Lutre for the first time today.... wow, very happy with the result. What would be the best car wash to use to gently clean and not noticeably diminish Jet, I plan to use Boost after every wash.
Great vid Sandro mate, hope you had a good Christmas 👍😜
I'd really love to see you do a review on Clarify, Earaser and Meguiars Surface prep. There's been a lot of controversy over two of these IPA's. If you need you need some help with products reach out to me and I'll be more than happy to help. Your breakdowns and knowledge are beyond no others.
What is the controversy?
Thank you for this great content!
Another outstanding video, thank you.
Great review Sandro, many thanks for the explanation and the coupon discount. You must have sent hundreds of customers to these suppliers over the years from your channel ! Q : Do you have to discard the microfiber towels after leveling and buffing off ? I heard with other ceramic coatings the towels get crystallized deposits in the fiber. Cheers
Ok great - thanks for the tip Sandro, will look to get some Nv and get to it, cheers :-D
Great video, I have been waxing my vehicle and then topping with P&S Beadmaker, the vehicle is undercover at home and work and I find it lasts 4 months.
I brought Jet and Lustre, will stick with wax first and layer Lustre, Jet and maybe use P&S Beadmaker as a topper.
Sandro, Pan the organizer has just made mention of you in his latest video 😊
Yes he notified me via Instagram, it was great to see him give Nv a go!
Damn it, these where my go to products that gave me the edge now every body is going to jump on the train.
Oh, Sandro. I was one who asked previously questions so I am looking forward to watching this several times. And thanks for that. Love this discount opportunity. And YES YES I am interested in those discounts and the comparisons you do. The explanation was great as well. So now we all know how to apply, choose and layer these great products. But I do have to ask. Your previous results with EVO & Pro were truly outstanding in the levels of gloss, looks and protection even after several months when getting those cars back in. Did you or do you recommend using any of these over EVO or PRO existing coatings as some suggest as the sacrificial layer or just carefully wash the original coating and leave alone???? Certainly, after seeing the results Luster for sheer looks and Jet for that incredible protection. And Boost is the new kid for the renovation of any existing protection which can be wax, sealant or coating, great you pointed that out too. Yes, ALL THREE would cover all bases. The point I wanted to make is if you already have a super-duper EVO or PRO coating with all the prep time and their already brilliant properties are you not going backwards by covering that up with any of these???? Or I assume they are designed to work together and instead enhance???? But again Sandro THANKS for the time taken to educate all us people passionate about making cars look their best. I appreciate like many others as it really gives us professional knowledge just by watching and saving us heaps of time since you already have conducted the experiments. You would make a good scientist. Reminds of the high school days trying to blow things up!!!!!
Where could I order Lustre
@@philipbaio2237 Look up WAXIT online. That is where I get mine or try Detailingshed.
Well done
Grabbed my bottle of lustre from the back of the cabinet on the weekend to add LSP after a one step polish on a clients car. They were thinking of selling it but after seeing it they are most likely going to hold onto it for a while longer. The car looked fantastic. Lustre to me is the glossiest slickest spray coating around. I only stopped using it as i keep buying the latest thing to see what its like. Lustre got pushed to the back but has now come back to where it always should hsve been, front and centre. What confuses me a bit is layering other products on top. If lustre looks so glossy and its so slick, wouldn't adding Jet, mask those properties?
I find Jet doesn’t mask Lustres gloss, it actually compliments it will additional saturation- but you’re right that it will somewhat mask lustres slickness to some degree.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingi didnt think youd even see my post on a 4 year old video Sandro. I thought i was talking to myself. Lol . Have they ever modified lustre and jet like they did to Boost? And finally, do you know why they dont bring out a coating with a longer durability than 3 years? Thx
@rooboy99 no, Jet and Lustre are still the very same formulas they released when the Nv brand was first launched - I think they are examples of getting something right the first time and not messing with it.
I’ve tested Evo against so many other consumer coatings and it typically outperforms most coatings that claim far longer durability - so don’t let a brand’s claims determine truth, as most of those claims tend to be over inflated 🙂
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingthanks Sandro. I guess these days with countless products and numerous versions/updates of many of these products, it's almost a little strange to not see changes but you're right, I'm not sure what they could do to Lustre other than increasing its durability.
As far as Evo goes, I installed it on a clients car almost 2 years ago and it's still performing very well. I just don't have first hand evidence of its possible longer term performance as yet.
Appreciate the reply mate.
Hope all is well in your world.
Thanks Sandro for a detail explanation on the difference between these 3 NV products. I had just ordered the NV Jet & Lustre from Waxit Car Care, as I had already purchased from them following your video on Boost, a maintenance kit which included Boost and Snow. Thanks for arranging the discount on these products, it is much appreciated. Cheers.
How’d you go with Jet over Lustre ?
@@bluecent As it has been a year ago, from memory I had preferred the Lustre over Jet. I used these as a topper for the Opti-Coat Pro+ coating that I have on the car, which is now just over 2 years since having it installed. I now use Turtle Wax Seal N Shine (Improved Formula) as the topper. The car is parked 24/7 outside, and Seal N Shine just keeps the car much cleaner and continue gloss and last longer than the other products I have used for a topper, including Opti-Coat Hyper Seal. I have neighbour's who comment on how clean the car is, even though I know it is dirty and requires a wash.
Awesome mate. Thanks for the discount code, it will come in handy in buying 1ltr amounts!
As for future discounts/giveaways etc. I'm all for it if it helps your channel etc.
On a side note - do you decide how many ads are in each video you upload or is it youtube?
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingNo problems mate, you give so much a few ads don't matter too much. It just varies sometimes on how many ad's are in each video. i think I had 3 on this, so not too bad.
And I love the last few minutes, the music and just the beads was pretty relaxing!
@@lawrencegambale3683 I often skip to the end of a video, let it run the last little bit to the very end and then back it up to the beginning and have noticed the adds go away.
I'm thinking Lustre as a base/primary coat of protection (applied every 6 months), Jet as a topper (applied every 3 months) and Boost as a drying aid every maintenance wash (every 2 weeks). Would that be overkill, Sandro?
I think that could work well 🙂
Sandro ciao. First of all thx you for your amazing videos. Because of you i have learn ( steal learning ) how to care my car my friend.
I almost have watch all of your videos. Thx you so much.
The guides that you make and the way that you make them are really on another level.
I want to write down what i have learn from you and what products i was using and what i use now ( only S20 black and only lake country HDO pads) but it will take toooo much time and you will read until tomorrow :p :p
So one question. If you had to choose between this products below what you had choose?
1. Soft99 Fusso Coat + Soft99 Fusso Coat Spray
2. CarPro Reload + CarPro Elixir
3. Gyeon Q2 CanCoat + Gyeon Q2M QuickDetailer ( or maybe better the new Gyeon Q2M CeramicDetailer )
4. Nv Nova Lustre + Nv Nova Jet
I know that a true ceramic coat will be better but i prefer the products kits that i have mentioned on the top.
The first of every kit products will be use every 3 months and the second one for the maintenance every 1/2 week
that i wash my car.
At the moment i have use the first two kits ( i mean the soft99 and carpro ) and to tell you the true i think Soft99 beats by far
the carpro kit. The 3 and 4 from yours experience will be better?
Thx you m8 and i really appreciated if you will answer me.
George from italy
Hi George, that’s really great to hear and I really appreciate the kind feedback!
Gyeon can coat is actually a true ceramic coating so you will probably find it lasts longer than all the rest, and I think it’s actually pretty good overall. I haven’t used Q2M ceramic detailer, just Cure so I can say what it’s like.
You probably know that I love Lustre and Jet so I do tend to recommend them, but if longevity is more important, then can coat should last the longest, Lustre may give you more gloss and Jet will tend to be the most hydrophobic, so in the end it depends what’s most important to you!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thx you Sandro, Thx you very much for the answer.
I will try to found a way to buy this Nova Car Care products to try them out.
Boost is important or Lustre + Jet it's ok? I mean for every 10/15 days maintenance it's ok to use Jet (after put first Lustre) ? or it better Lustre + Jet + Boost? Maybe 3 products too much?
I don't care about longevity thats why until now haven't try out can coat ( also i don't like too much Gyeon products :p the only one that i use adter trying some of them is Wet Coat to my rims ) or use another ceramic like Uk 3.0 that i have bought it but never use it .
Yesterday has arrived also the shinamate EX620 15 after seeing your review and i want to try it out to refine a little more my Jaguar F-Type (until now i used shinamate ero600 )
The problem with your videos is that you make me spend too much money :p :p :p (joking of course)
Thx m8
George
Lol yes there’s always money to be spent on detailing products! But I think you’ll like the 620-15!
You don’t have get Boost, maybe just start with Lustre and Jet and see how you go. Everyone is s little different, most people seem to like Lustre more than Jet and some people don’t like Boost as much, so it’s hard for me to say what you will personally like, so maybe just start with those two and if you like them you can always get Boost layer on.
Ur videos are amazing.
I have traditionally used Jescar power lock and used various toppers over the years with the most recent being beadmaker. I am looking for something exactly like this. Thank you for the video and coupon. Using the all 3 method, is it safe on trim and glass, and will this be equal or better than my power lock step? Can I use the boost as a drying aid after each maintenance wash rather than a dry application and get close to the same results. Thanks Again
Joshua - My Powerlock (which I love BTW) sits in my cupboard, no longer used since I discovered Jet!
And I use Boost after each wash and found it extends the life of my Lustre/Jet combo by quite a bit!
Hi Sandro, What would you use to enhance a silver car, Lustre, Jet or stack them?
Thank you for all the great videos and knowledge you share.
You could certainly stack them as they both have great paint enhancement abilities, but Lustre would be the one of the two that has the superior ability to add gloss and depth that’s hard to achieve on silver paint.
Awesome Video Sandro once again, my go to brand and products, anything in the works for NV as far as new coatings?
Cheers
I also find personally I can apply lustre to the hole car then buff off, still super easy to buff off and it might be in my head but I find it bonds better from doing this technique.
OK I will give him a call and thank you
Hi Sandro, I hope you are doing well. One question, How can I wash the car without removing nova jet? Is water pressure safe to use? how about using a wet sponge or towel?
Using a pressure washer is absolutely fine and ideal, also a a pure car wash (with no interfering additives) like Nv Snow also at the correct dilution - 1:200 in a wash bucket is again ideal after the pressure rinse down to remove the looser dirt. You can also use Nv Boost V1 or V2 to maintain it after maintenance washes if you wish.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thank you so much for this great instruction! Is it okay if I use Nova Jet ( not the boost) after each wash?
Yes, but I would personally recommend mixing Jet in a separate bottle with 50% deionised water (so 1:1) and use that after maintenance washes and you can use the full strength every couple of months as a general routine.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thank you! I understand. But may I know the reason?
In my experience car paint will only except a certain amount of a wax, sealant, or coating, so at a certain point you’re wasting product as it predominately won’t bond - this can also change the user experience leading to things like smearing and more difficult wipe offs.
At 1:1 or even 1:2 Jet stars to become more like a quick detailer, so you’re just topping up what’s been worn by the elements over a week or two, rather than trying to stack layers the paint can’t for the most part except. It also tends to increase the ease of application making a maintenance top up quick and easy.
I try to buy it No stock Maybe there's another place
Those *B E A D S*
I would definitely try these products but Unfortunately it’s not available in Europe . It looks to be the real deal
Hi,
I ordered Jett and Lustre from the NV Nova site and mentioned Car Craft Auto and Pan. Got a 10% discount code immediately.
I was wondering,
Would you use Lustre firstly and after two hours apply Jett or you prefer to use Lustre as directed and maybe add Jett two - four weeks later on top or Lustre ???
I actually have both products in hand ready to use but would like some guidance before I use one or both.
Thanks
There’s really no rules either way. I’d normally apply Lustre first and then add Jet either an hour or two later or after the next maintenance wash.
Sounds great
thanks.
Lustre looks amazing on my car! Do you know if it is SI02 based or traditional polymer? I do not see any SI02 on its MSDS sheet, but maybe it is excluded from the sheet.
Thank you!
Yes it contains SiO2 ingredients
I applied lustre followed by jet after having my car professionally evo ceramic coated but it was a windy winters day and not sure if i did a good job. I was thinking of reapplying lustre and jet again. Can I reapply on top of the existing coats or do I need to clay the car? I really hope I dont need to clay the car. Dont want to ruin the ceramic coating
No you certainly don’t need to clay, you can just reapply them
I just received luster. I tried to apply it to my newly coated GTechniq CSL (washed twice and used Adams CS3 Graphene as drying aid). It seems to be very streaky. Wiping away the residue with multiple towels and I can see a thin film of it streaking in any direction I wipe the towel. Hard to tell if its streaking against the other toppers or what. I've had issues in the past with this thin film streaking on CSL with certain products.
Yes I’ve also seen this happen with certain coating and sealant combinations. Sometimes if you let it sit after buffing it it can further self level in a few minutes, and other times using just a very slightly damp towel can help further level it down. Other times you just have accept that it’s just not going to happen. But what I’ve also found is that as the coatings starts to age it should start to accept top layers a little better.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Yup I felt like I was getting better usability in toppers as my coating aged as well but it could very well be the coating or use of toppers rejecting the product...I'll give those suggestions a try tho. Thank you!
Hello I have a question I need help with. I live in the United States and just recieved my order of NV JET and NV BOOST. My truck is coated with Cquartz UK 3.0 for a year now and I use reload as a topper. I will be decontaminating the surface and re-polishing with carpro essence plus. OK so I have 1 1/2 bottles of reload left and don't want to waste it. Would you recommend I use reload as fist layer over coating then JET then BOOST since the carpro products with sio2 would all be meshed together. I would love any help please.
Thanks Sandro for your videos, very informative and has got me wanting to be more fanatical about my car.
I was thinking of getting a paint correction then treating it with these NV Nova products. Is this a reasonable way to care for my car ?
Should it be polished/treated with something in between ? Unfortunately I live in Sydney, otherwise I would love to get you to work on it.
(It's a 2009 White Audi A5) Would appreciate any advice.
You certainly don’t have to correct the paint before using then, a good wash and decontamination can do wonders in preparation, but correction will obviously help in further improving and preparing the paint for any paint protection and getting a little more out of them. But don’t feel you have to, you can always just try them to start with and always try correction layer on.
Would love to see Jet and Lustre up against GTechniq's C2v3!
Boost I found easy to apply n remove. When I used lustre it was smearing and difficult to wipe clean.
thats odd because i have all three and i find jet quite difficult to remove, and lustre the easiest of the 3.
Nice video..did you have try a product Carlack/Carluck 68 ?how about it ?
Great video as always .
i have a question for you , Have you tried polish angle primer spritz and cosmic spritz ?
Thanks but no, I used to Invincible Primer followed by Comic Glasscoat V2, but have not tried Primer Spritz followed by Cosmic Spritz.
Would Jet still work well using a spray on and rinse off method? Im looking for something that makes the surface super hydrophobic that you can just spray on and rinse off and then blow dry the car well. I work at a dealership car wash and we dont have the time to truly apply stuff and work it in around the whole car.
No, your best bet would be something like Carpro Hydro2
Do you recommend layering immediately after one another or should you apply lustre wait some time then apply jet? I recently applied lustre, then waited 45 minutes,then applied jet. Would there be any significant difference in this layering vs immediately layering?
And definitely yes on promo codes, much appreciated. Don't mind supporting your work.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing what is the possibility nv car care will receive more boost before the discount code expires, they are currently sold out...😭
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing waxit has it in stock but shipping is about $20 more to me in the US. Thanks for quick reply.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks I will try that. Good idea.
What is a good alternative for Nv Lustre? It's currently out of stock for the US. I'm thinking CarPro Reload? I want to top it with Nv Jet... already have Jet on order.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thank you!!
How much of the company do you own? ;)
Do you think ceramic coating + lustre + boost is too much? How often would you apply lustre and boost if you have a ceramic coating? Thanks!
No it’s not too much and could be a good way to maintain the coating. You’d generally apply Lustre every 2-4 months depending on conditions and Boost can be used after every maintenance wash or two.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks! Would you apply boost dry or as drying aid? And for both lustre&boost, how many sprays would you spray for hood?
You can really apply Boost either dry or on slightly wet paint and I use it both ways. I’d divide the bonnet into about 6 sections for Lustre and about 3 for Boost and use about 2 sprays in each section.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thank you so much!!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing does lustre mask the hydrophobic performance of the coating?
Great review Sandro.
Looking at getting all three Lustre, Jet, Boost. Which combination of microfibre cloths and how many should I be using from the Concours range (4 seasons, Jetstream, Thunderstorm) for each of these applications?
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing what about the Thunderstorm and Jetstream cloths? Do you recommend using these for any of the layers?
Hi Sandro i really like the Nova range but recently tried out the Lithium car car products and i have loved them especially Color Crush and Trim Serum have you tried these ones ?
No I unfortunately haven’t tried them yet!
Hi Sandro! Is Jet built on an SiO2 framework or is does it use another base? Wondering how Jet would be as a 6 month maintenance on CarPro Coatings instead of reload
I use Jet over CQUK3.0 and it works great. I have found that it has a better chemical resistance than Reload with slightly better hydrophobic properties.
I want to try all these products but until NV/NOVA gets a distributor in the states it’s not economical to pay the huge shipping cost.
Hello, i got both Boost and jet, how would you combine both products together for the best of both world? Im thinking Boost ontop of the ceramic coating for the si02 regeneration and then jet over it with monthly or bimonthly applications after wash? love to hear from you and the viewers too!
Boost is really formulated to break down after a wash or two so generally you’d use it as your maintenance sacrificial layer and top layer so it would be placed over Jet once or twice a month generally speaking in that scenario.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing cheers! Going to work on it tomorrow right after chemical detamination
Thanks 🙏 keep up with the videos
Really love the outcome on my 2019 mustang, paint feels so silky smooth, the gloss is next level!
Great to hear!
Hey Sandro...was hope you could help me with some advice. If I didn’t have the option to do paint correction would you still recommend do all other paint preparation and using the Jet/ Lustre combo? Specifically, I was wondering if I should clay the car with concern that I may add scratches or marring prior to applying these products considering I won’t be compounding or polishing. Would you say to still go for it and do all standard decon steps to best prepare paint for application?
Thx for all the help you provide us!
Yes I’d still tend to recommend doing a full decontamination as removing fallout and traffic film is important to do periodically for the well being and health of the paint and it will obviously also help produce a better bond with your paint protection products. Unless the paint is very soft you shouldn’t cause too much marring with clay, but using something like Nv Finesse or another light polish even by hand should take care of any clay marring and additionally deep clean the paint which should also further improve or the performance of Jet and Lustre and boost the gloss and clarity of the paint, but it’s not mandatory.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks Sandro! Very helpful. Hope to come train with you some day.
Hi Sandro , have you tried Boost V2 ? I’m thinking of ordering it but was just searching to see if you have done a video on it . Thanks
No video but I have used it quite a bit, I think it’s a fantastic sealant that is as easy to use a quick detailer and certainly recommend it.
Hi mate is it possible to do a review on the Nova Evo hybrid ceramic coating? Really interested to see how it works and what it’s like with nova jet and nova lustre on top. Might be asking a bit much lol
Hi Sandro. What sequence would you apply the three for Black Euro cars, Lustre + Jet + Boost or Jet + Lustre + Boost?
I would personal go Lustre, Jet, Boost
Just ordered all 3! Along with some of their soaps. Thanks for the code!
Can you do another review and or offer when NV Pyro is rereleases? Please!!! I want some of that too!
Going to test this system on my car vs Carpro system with UK 3.0 on my dads side by side for the next year.
Testing my theory to see if coating still makes sense in 2019/2020. If my car holds up as good as a car treated with cquartz uk 3.0 and topped with reload. If it works as well I might have to call consumer coatings dead for the time being.
Luckily we both have the same car. Around the same age. Should be a like for like comparison.
Did you end up testing, if so what were the results?
Hayden Mcfarland yeah I did the carpro is a little more slick than my car with the NV trio of spray ons. The carpro also seems to sheet water better than the NV. Beading on the NV is great but yeah at the same time I think the carpro has a better balance of beading and sheeting from what I can tell. So yeah I think the carpro has a slight edge overall even thought more of a pain to apply.
Traditional coatings still may still have their days number though. At least in my book. There is some stuff that should be announced at SEMA this year (if there is one). That should be pretty awesome. I can’t say exactly what it is. But I have tested in person. Super easy wipe on wipe off and a unique carrier of the SiO2 that is totally different than the rest of the market. Should last around a year maybe two I am told. We will see!
Hi Sandro, did NV changed the formulas when they be switched from Nova? Brian from Apex showed that NV Jet darkened more than Lustre, you got the opposite results.
No the formulas haven’t changed, but there’s always variations in tests from one person to another which depends on many things like the specific application, the specific paint the lighting used to view it and even the level of prep and correction before they are applied. I have my way of doing those things and others will have there own way which can certainly influence the results, not only on the darkening effect but all other tests and results.
How often would you reapply lustre + jet? Every 6 months? And just maintained with boost after maintenance washes?
Hi Where can we buy the NOVA JET?
If you’re in the States it’s

Hi Sandro, you sold me on these and I was able to order all the way from Israel using NVs US rep.
I have Gyeon Cancoat applied about 3 weeks ago, would really like to top it up with Lustre for that extra gloss/slickness (highly metallic white paint), would the hydrophobicity of Cancoat be decreased with Lustre?
Have you ever tried topping a ceramic with it?
Greetings from Israel, I’m a big fan of your videos!
Lustre’s strongest characteristics are its super high gloss and slickness, its hydrophobicity is still very good but may not be as hydrophobic as CanCoat. The new Boost V2 may be worth a go as it’s really a balance of both Lustre and Jet and will be extremely Hydrophobic if that’s top of your list.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing so topping cancoat with it would mask the hydrophobic properties..?
Might do a test panel and see if i enjoy it, 2nd car has Fusso on it and IMO slickness and self cleaning seem touch superior to cancoat, i like the feel of w drying towel on it and thought Lustre on top of cancoat would be able to achieve that
Thanks for taking the time to reply! ❤️
