Damp squid lol sorry but thats gotta stay now :)
lol I love your attitude to stuff, John. Great channel. 👍
lol, came here just to see if you'd done that on purpose or if you actually thought the expression was "damp squid"...
john have you ever used white vinegar to clean the tough stains on the inside of exhaust tips. its acidic so might try it on the bits the metal polish wont budge
@@superleeds2739 no mate I think its strong enough not sure though..
@@ForensicDetailing i will give it a go as the mrs has got some in the cupboard and will let you know the outcome. ive watched vids were people have completely got rust off so should be strong enough for carbon build up
I bought the tyre shine on its own for £4 in Asda a few weeks back. Like you say, once it rains it's all washed off. I'll keep it for the wife's car and I'll stick with Meguiars Endurance gel. 👍
Good video as always. This stuff is very visible and attractively priced in places like Halfords and supermarkets, so no doubt it’s gonna be the kind of thing that ‘new to detailing’ types pick up - myself included with some of the products. It’s easy for viewers here and elsewhere to be snobby because often when you’re so immersed in a hobby or job, it’s hard to remember a time when you were new to it and didn’t know your Demon from your Bilt Hamber. So good job giving everything a decent shot and nice to see Demon Shine getting a nod - it’s my guilty pleasure in detailing and always does a quick and decent job! I’d be amazed if there’s any product of any type on the market which has better performance for the price.
Great video as per usual. The kit is perfect for an eco car like a little city car that you’re not too worried about swirls and non-pH neutral products or something like a beater that you like keeping a bit clean but these aren’t aimed at the weekend detailers who would spend £20 on a single product as opposed to a whole kit.
I agree the demon shine is a good product leaves my black cars really good for weeks 👍impressive for a spray on rinse off
Great review. I've had the snowfoam with the gun attachment. Worth a try and the product works well in my opinion the foam does well to roll loose dirt off but as you said the gun is no replacement for a Lance. Also uses a lot of product to get the desired effect. 4 washes and I've used the full thing. I've bought the alloy cleaner and with 2 applications both after rinse and after scrub does a good job. Is enough for me but overall I definitely think you've got the verdict right though. Cheers again
Just finished this video as I’m about to put an order in for some spray bottles and brushes etc and I have realised I have a few of these in the basement I could clean out and use. Brilliant. Saved me some cash there mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Have been using the Demon Shine for a while, picked it up cheap at Lidl (for a few squid!). Really easy to apply while the car is still slightly wet and seals the paint up, if only for a week or two. Keeps the car nice over the winter when the weather is poor, and I am less keen. Wouldn't entertain the other products though.
Love the channel
Picked up one today from B&M. I was quite pleased with the results. If you're driving a "shit box" like me then it's brilliant! If you're driving a newer car or have a classic car then I'd go for something better quality.
Great honest review😎
I certainly didn’t expect nothing less from carplan haha👍🏻
Perfect vloging as usual 👍🇬🇧thank you John
This is the first ever car products that i bought, Come a long way since then.
Great review, I think this stuff would be great on a brand new car that gets cleaned regularly with little dirt.
Love the honesty in the review!
For me I will probably just buy a bottle of the spray on shine as you seemed very impressed with it :D
for 3 quid a litre I did. when I was using it I was just thinking hmm.. but and hour later the paintwork felt really nice and slick and looked decent.. so I think the demon shine is decent for the money actually. wont cost you much to find out..
Their wheel cleaner is really good. I'm not the most regular car cleaner but it brings mine up really well with little effort.
Quick detailer is great as a cheap drying aid as it seems to help dry with no drying marks even in sunlight. Always amazes me as it shouldn't work for £4 but it does!! I've found it does work fine on glass when used as a drying aid and woks with no smears left. Save my more expensive detailing sprays for the car show days or those nice "Drive in the sun" days.....
Ive been an autoglym fan for many many years but now and as time is limited but i still want to keep my cars clean on a weekly basis ive been using the demon shine as a drying agent with autoglyms synthetic shammy with amazing results i have tried the snow foam wasnt that impressed for me a bucket of warm washwax solution works a charm great video have a good one mate
The Tyers stuff isn't bad. My wife bought me the kit once and I think this review is spot on .
The products are cheap but the demon foam when used in a cannon is superb, gives a really thick foam. I'm very impressed
I think one of their best products is the quick detailer
Never heard of Demon products. Thanks for showing.
I’d love to see a good all round kit Jon that was not budget focused specifically but not earth shattering. Something that had performance at heart for a complete detail. Basically something that a new detailers can put together as a jumping off point and know they have performance without overspending.
Then they can chop and change as they go. Just something that works straight away and isn’t ridiculous costings.
I know you’ve done endless videos on all the components but maybe your best of the bunch amateurs to pro starter kit.
I use the Demon Shine as a claying lubricant. Works great.
So glad you had something positive to say about demon shine, as a weekend warrior it was the first finishing spray I bought having to ‘detail’ myself due to Covid restrictions over s year ago…. Bottle is nearly empty now having lasted over a year, (I have been experimenting with other products too, hence why it’s lasted so long) I won’t be buying it again, but for beginners who don’t want to spend a fortune on premium products, it’s absolutely perfect.
its good, drys to a silky smooth finish, the shine on the car is good, fresh detailed look. it does feel a bit budget but I could happily use this stuff and the value is good. this kit is a good thing for 19 quid. but there are compramises really I could slate it and say its cheap. but its you have to expect a bit of this. for the money this kit is usable and great value.
The quick detailer is a good drying aid, and leaves a good shine. I used it on glass with no adverse effect. It is £5 a bottle when bought separately. I wasn't impressed with any of the other stuff really. I have tons of g101 left so the apc will be sat in my garage for years to come. Wheel cleaner is OK for light dirt, and the wheel shine is ok again for a weekly touch up. I think its better priced at £12.99 mark
I’ve tried these and found the exact the same, for £20 there worth trying but I wouldn’t use them as there is much better quality stuff out there! I would definitely spend the extra money for bilt hamber or gtechniq👍
Hi guys just for those of you that don't know the browning on the tyres is a common problem that occurs when you don't clean the tyres and then follow up with a dressing or protectant of some kind. It's a process that happens due to a element added into the tyre called antiozonant,it's to slow the premature cracking from the tyre getting too dry from oxidation.
Remember using there QD years ago as clay lube when it was £2.50 the products feel like they have been very diluted down still a worthwhile review Jon it looks like colour coded PISS 😉😍
I'm a fan of demon shine, I use it as a drying aid after rinsing and have always had good results
And smells incredible
I buy the car plan stuff from Halfords 5l
Didn't think to do it that way, would do that in the future to save time
The shine is the best of the bunch
Demon Foam was the first snow foam I ever used. It wasn't the best but it was better than nothing.
Premium spongebob square pants included 🤣. I've been a bit distant with 'demon' however I like their hose adapter which some of their big bottle products come with. Good for if you don't have a pressure washer.
I use car plan apc which is the same stuff as demon clean but comes as a concentrate. 5ltrs comes in at about £10 from halfords I personally think it's great.
I've tried and use a lot of these products so for anyone interested:
1) Snowfoam: is a decent product if used as a Snowfoam in a lance but down side to get a good lather you need to have about 250ml per car so can run out easy.
2) Demon shine: As said in video is a good product for price well as a detailer and also is a pretty good as a hydrophobic spray wax, water beads very well.
3) Wheel cleaner is not great at all better of getting the Carplan trade TFR cleaner a lot stronger but use it concentrated.
4) Tyre shine - is not great either, again you can use Car plan tyre slik or Carplan super trim cleaner. They work a lot better
In summary it is a car yard product to get it sold and to the corner before it dissappears.
Looks a good collection of empty spray bottles to mix your own.
I "have" used the shine as part of a midweek snow foam to assist dry but don't let your microfibre semi dry. It can affect future absorbancy.
You get what you pay for,great honest video mate .
I used to use this stuff aswell hates the wheel cleaner and tyreshine but the active super cleaner I used to use it for a interior cleaner and the spray on shine a drying aid
I've found that pink spray quite good for a quick finish after washing. The wheel cleaner is virtually useless for anything other than very light brake dust. However, for the price, it's an okay range but don't expect too much.
The pink Demon shine is fantastic if used properly . Wash and rinse the car first then spray some all over the car then rinse off again the bleeding is impressive and dries without rain spots.
I might have found a use for Demon Tyres...... I've used it to dress my engine bay after cleaning. Spray on and wipe off, seems to work fine on hard plastics and keeps hoses looking nice and black. I never use it on tyres as it looks kinda cheap and never lasts anyway so at least I've found a way to use it and free up some space on the shelf!
Apart from the shampoo, the Demon range isn't bad for the money. It gets the job done and is cheap and cheerful. It's probably best to keep things reasonably clean and use more effective products for that deeper clean.
Came to the same conclusions myself when using the same products. I also keep the spray bottles and filled with concentrates . I can't help myself and end up using tyre shine after every weekly wash so I go for the tyre silk. Have you ever used it. Seems to be cheap and stays on ok.
Loving the vids👍🏻 was just wondering if you can do a review on signature group products, they’re cheap but I’m impressed with them so far
All of those products can be picked up under the "Carplan: Trade Valet" range, a lot are in undiluted state. I really rate "Demon Shine/Hi Wax Rinse" as a rinse off drying aid and can get 5 litres for £6, the "Hi Wax Rinse" version is also MUCH stronger than the spray bottle dilution of Demon Shine too, as it instructs a 40:1 dilution ratio. Have a look on CZcams for a bloke using Demon Shine on his MX5, works well. It works better a little stronger and as it's stupidly cheap I tend to be fairly generous in diluting it. Demon Clean/Carplan Trade Valet Super Clean 100+" is actually pretty good too. A friend uses it for nasty work vans in the fish industry and it does well considering the price.
These are probably the sort of products that the likes of a bloke called Gerald (other names are also available) who proudly washes 'The Old Girl' every weekend regardless. I have used the snow foam in a snow foam attachment for my pressure washer. Nothing impressive, but it is what it is. I have yet to use the detailer and tyre shine. Not really what you would use to keep your car perfect for the long term (I'd probably use the sponge in the bath) but probably better than the £3 'Wash and Scratch' merchant at the local supermarket / former petrol station forecourt, plus you don't have to drive there & wait in a queue! Happy Valeting ☺
Demon shine is alright as a drying aid to disperse the water
I have a low budget store near me called dollar general. And they sell their own house brand automotive cleaning products. I have used a couple of them and they don't seem to be that bad.
I’ve tried demon tyres before,but as of all dressings I’ve never found one I’m really happy with,they either wash off at the first sign of rain or go sticky and covered in shite,as of demon shine,I’ve not used it for a few years but i remember it being ok,love the way you try cheaper brands on the mrs’s motor first 😂😂😂
Spray on shine is a good drying aid..
Early squad! Perfect timing too. On my lunch 👍🏼😁
Very late squad for me, just having my dinner and 5 second into the video 😁
I use the Demon Dirt Remover for traffic film and it works well. Not really a fan of their other products.
The best value kit that actually works is the Halfords awards one. It’s like £13 I think less products than this but the products actually got auto express awards. Their shampoo I think got voted as one of the best
The Demon is in the detail(ing) 👺
Thanks.
I like the demon shine it’s really good as a nice easy detailer and I’ve always used it on glass with no problems and I use some really good retailers like meguiars x press wax and last touch so it’s not like it’s the only detailer I’ve tried it’s a decent product for the money but a good tip is go and buy the demon shine pour on shine in the big bottle that attaches to the hose and then use that like a detailer by pouring it in a spray bottle and topping it up with water at a ratio of 1 part demon shine to 2 parts water and it works great and you get loads of bottles out of the large tub and it’s just good for using as a drying aid and even a clay bar lube you need to try it as just a really in expensive product that’s got a lot of uses
I thought the Demon shine was the best of the lot, the Demon monster machine isn’t too bad as a pre wash if the car is really dirty, I picked up the set for £10 so if nothing else got some spray bottles too use with other products
You should review the carbon collective range! They have some very interesting products.
Thanks for clearing up demon products for me. I'm wondering about the ez brand next for a cheapish kit of cleaning products would love to see you do a review of them
EZ stuff is really good, I have nearly all there products. + they do some great deals.
Worth the money. I used to be an autofinesse/meguiars fan boy, but ez is cheaper and just as good if not better imo...
The demon foam works great when used with the foam lance on my Kärcher pressure washer.
Same here it also works great with my foam lance and left to dwell for 5 minutes
Regarding the bottles... I have a snowfoam cannon that works well but over time, the thread on the bottle wore thin and stripped the thread. I searched my shelves and found an old Demon clean bottle with not much product remaining and it had a matching thread. One clean out later and the bottle works perfectly as a snow cannon bottle. I now have several Demon clean bottles that have been promoted to 'cannon dispensers' and i can set them all up before a wash with snowfoam and A.P.C and interchange at will without wasting time running in and out of the house setting up the products. Just discharge one bottle, unscrew and replace with the next prepared waiting bottle.
The Demon products themselves are pretty tame and safe for almost any use with reasonable results, just dont go expecting significant results from minimal application.
Great value especially if you keep the bottle. They are worth £1 each surely.
the all purpose demon cleaner (yellow one) i use as a window cleaner
Average first time user kit on a low end car for quick cleaning basically.... Otherwise BH Shampoo and Foam with a little cap of Greenstar. Then surfex as APC and Korosol for any tough car fallout and wheels. Followed by a Si2 detail spray to aid dry and maybe a good wax.
Even though the price seems OK, I'm not convinced that I even want to try these pre-diluted versions. The concentrated ones might be a better deal (if those were available).
Love videos like this, I'd like to see the equivalent armour all kit that can be found on amazon, heard some good things about it surprisingly!
All very poor from Armour All.
Hi agree it's ok for those on a budget have you tried revive products tried there shampoo it's great
I have a bunch of these Demon products for a quick weekly wash - when I have more time and put more effort in, I’ll use better products.
Couple of things to comment on your video, I only use the APC for inside the car and for that, it works well. Agree about the alloy cleaner, I never use it as it’s really not good. However, the foam shampoo works 10 times better as a snow, so I put it into my jet washer bottle and it literally smothers the whole car in thick foam. I personally wouldn’t use it in a bucket like that.
The demon clean is actually pretty good for windows- the exterior wash is good but as you say- not in the recommended dose- you need to use a lot more. And it smells of cherries! Lol
As said previously the foam isn't half bad used with a Lance
tried that stuff once never again
Demon also has a stronger apc I think it's called demon machine which is similar to g101 at a 10:1 and for exteriors works well. Cleans up tyres too
Damp squid? That's a new one!
Great channel, what’s the black & red chair shown when cleaning the Golf?
Jon, good work as always. But I cant seem to stop thinking that your bins must be the cleanest in the whole Britain. You do all your tests on top of them lol.
Great video
I always stock up on demon shine when I see it at £4 in ASDA. Saw it in there at £2.50 once. Should have bought their whole stock out. I like it :)
I found that demon wheel cleaner, I’d really good.
Class video mate
The fact that they provide a sponge would put me off 🤣
I was thinking of trying this product but ? Now I sen your video I don’t know ⭐️
Is the wheel cleaner acidic? I accidently used it to polish the bodywork. I then rinsed it an hour later. Will it rip through the paint work?
Shampoo in a lance gave me a good result on my black car
Hi, just subscribed! Thanks for the Demon range review that I have been using for years but ready for a change! Do you have another review on an upgrade from this range for a sort of ‘lazy man’ ?
hey there mike
products czcams.com/video/I7q5E8Kz-CY/video.html
Got the demon shine and it is not too bad. Gives a gloss and slickness and seems quite durable too. I tried it on glass and it beads water up decently.
Apparently the Demon Clean (yellow one ) is meant for glass. I haven't tried it though
Can you do a review of EZ car care products? Recently used these and in opinion I think they're good, how ever lots of deals and can be quite cheap. Was just wondering what you made of it!
Demon shine is excellent clay lube! Better than actual clay lube to be fare!
The demon clean you can use it on the interior windows it says it on the back of the bottle
Well i am wondering if they have changed their formula. I use the demon foam, and its really thick suds, maybe i put more in than i should do. I also rate the demon glass not in the kit but really a great product its that or detol surface cleaner spray, i know but on glass its like magic.
I use the demon wheels for alloys only and seems to work very well with the brake dust removal i then go over the whole wheel with demon foam seems to work great.
I picked this up on the strength of the glass cleaner not used it yet but hope quality is the same
I dunno if their demon window cleaner is new or what but they have one now and its decent for cleaning glass and i also use it for my rear lights and headlights
So worth buying the shine on its own not bother with the whole kit, my local b&m sells em separately.
I use the demon shine. At 4 quid from B&M it does its job surprisingly well.
its good isnt it. silks up nicely as well. I did not find it streaky.. decent stuff.
Forensic Detailing Channel l had some really nice smelling detailing spray before....what’s your favorite smelling one?
@@Rondawwg hmm, done and dusted smells nice sherbert smell.
I tried that hose connector for the shampoo. Absolute garbage. Just dribbled out like you described
Demon Shine is good as a drying aid. The rest is substandard
please do a full auto finesse review
😂 damp squid 🦑 .. Damp squib named after a failed mining explosive device. Never used Demon Shine don’t think I will now either. Think sometimes you do get what you pay for. Love your reviews👍🏻
supose the kits ok if you clean your car every week and dosen't get too messy ?
Wow A lot of uploads this week John
I took a punt on the tyre dressing a long while ago, I agree on the durability but the beauty of it is that it literally takes seconds to do after you’ve done the next wash
Ideal for mobile valeting etc
I have it they are class
Thank you for the review Jon, I have never used this brand, and now I won't even bother wasting my money to try it.
Yeah Demon shine is ok. I use it on my family’s cars 🚗 but stick to maguires on mine
