Spray-on, strong durability among sprays, remained protective after multiple chemical rounds (e.g., ~7s sheet dissipation after wheel/tire cleaner).

Retail prices reported in the video at time of test.

Spray-ons were the quickest. Applicator products took more effort.

Baseline bare paint required ~4.0 lb.

Only these three were specifically rated post-degreaser: Gtechniq best, Adams close, Griot’s third.

Gtechniq retained the lowest sliding force by a wide margin.

After ~6 hours warm water exposure (two cycles), Adam’s showed the best beading on polycarbonate.
