Hi Chelsea,this test isn't a torture test but an earthquake test for any coating protection! Great video as always.😊👍

Thank you for doing this test. I have always been a fan of the Ethos V2 myself. I miss content creators doing these types of torture tests. I would love to see you do a series on this platform. Almost like a sport team challenge. I’d leave the winner Ethos Max and then add 3 more competitors to this panel and run the same tests. Then leave that winner and introduce 3 more competitors until we have a clear winner. You may have to keep it somewhat even, meaning only test 1 year vs 1year and then 3 year vs 3year and so on. Great job

I'm glad I got Ethos Max. It's supposed to have the highest level of solids of any coating. I'm waiting for summer to apply. I wonder why it's not more popular. I didn't know it could be used to coat wheels.<br><br>Great video Chelsea. I think so the coatings did really well. No one is gonna use all those chemicals on a car in one go, so chemical resistance doesn't necessarily corrolate with durability. Still... I'm itching to get Max on my truck.

Great test Chelsea I believe you were fair as in a normally real world maintained vehicle. Thank you for going through the inconvenience.

Big fan of Ethos Max. After a year it's still beads like crazy on a daily driver and always parked outside in the elements. I also wash the car an average of 1-2 times a week (except winter of course).

I personally don’t pay attention to torture tests. With the exception of car washes I don’t see how they would come into contact with your car. But they are a fun thing to watch.

I think the other takeaway from this is that torture testing isn't day-to-day living with a coating <br><br><br>Also yes the automatic car washes are pretty strong but then again a lot of detailers are playing around with exothermic reactions with high and low PH washes that are essentially doing the same thing that the automatic car wash does.<br><br>It's also why I'm a big fan of Toppers and over Coatings for sacrificial layer to take the Hitler in the wash and this includes sometimes waxes over coatings

Thanks for the showcase. 10 washes is sort of scary. And that’s with no abrasion from driving or seeing all the other elements a vehicle sees
