In this thrilling episode of Donut, the team sets out on a quest to determine whether spending big bucks on car detailing products is worth it. They pit a cheap $10 ceramic coat against a luxurious $250 one, and the results are nothing short of exhilarating.
Starting with the wheels, the guys use a $75 brush and spray kit, while the professionals make do with a humble $5 armor on kit and a toothbrush. Surprisingly, the expensive kit doesn't provide any significant advantage, as the cheap alternative proves to be just as effective in removing brake dust and grime.
Moving on to the car wash, they unleash a $5,000 pressure washer foam cannon system on their side, while the pros stick to the classic two-bucket method with a cheap wash mitt. Despite the extravagant price tag, the pressure washer doesn't deliver noticeably superior results. It seems that the tried-and-true method of the professionals holds its ground against the high-tech gadgetry.
Next up is the clay bar stage, where they use an $80 kit for themselves and a budget-friendly $10 kit for the pros. However, they throw a curveball by introducing a hack using plumbers putty, which costs a mere $2. Surprisingly, the cheap alternative falls flat, proving that sometimes, you really do get what you pay for.
As they embark on the polishing stage, armed with a $500 polishing gear, they face off against the pros armed with a 2-in-1 polish and compound combo called C polish. Despite the significant price difference, the expensive gear doesn't necessarily outshine the budget-friendly option. In fact, the results are strikingly similar, proving that a hefty price tag doesn't always guarantee superior performance.
Finally, the moment of truth arrives as they compare the $10 ceramic coating to the extravagant $250 one. In a surprising turn of events, the expensive option triumphs, providing a noticeably better finish. It seems that when it comes to ceramic coating, splurging on a high-quality product is worth every penny.
In this thrilling automotive adventure, Donut proves that sometimes, the cheaper alternatives can hold their ground against the extravagant options. However, when it comes to ceramic coating, it's clear that investing in a premium product pays off in the end. So, if you're looking to give your car that extra shine and protection, it might be worth digging a little deeper into your pockets.
