Greetings Humans,
So my main objective with this test was to find a well-balanced product to offer in my more budget friendly service for those clients not able to afford services involving a more thorough approach. Things I looked at for the test products were:
-Economical.
-Ease/Flexibility of application for mobile work under the sun.
-Durability of at least 1 Month.
The Test Subject: an old hood that was corrected and sealed months and months ago while it was still on vehicle and once replaced,it sat in my backyard without getting cleaned the whole time.
The Prep Process: A quick rinseless wash with just a gentle light pass of a Nanoskin Sponge to replicate an "Express" service and nothing more. I rinsed a few more times and there was no sheeting/beading behavior, water was just sitting on the hood without any tension from a previous LSP.
The Products (applied left to right in brand alphabetical order for ease of identification down the road): HD Express - Mckee`s 37 Fast Wax - Megs D156 - Sonax Brilliant Shine "Detailer" .
Test Hood before starting:
The sun was conveniently positioned to where half of the hood was in the shade and half was getting hit by the sun and provided a hot surface for products to be tested on application-wise.
After wash/prep:
A couple of hrs. after application, there was a light shower, so here`s the first shot of product reaction the same day . Ideally we would prefer for products to cure for longer but realistically we know that`s not really that possible unless we tell our clients to keep their cars in a garage until ready, but then not everyone has that luxury.
More to come below....
