  • Hey Linus! Former car detailing guy here, I nerded out about it when I was doing it for work and wound up with a big supply of some different waxes, sealants, etc.... over the years I have used these products on various phones to minimize scratches and partially restore some dinged up units.... The results were varying, but one thing that I absolutely learned was that you should, generally, NOT DO THIS TO GLASS SCREEN DEVICES. The primary reason why is that most/all of these types of products include solvents and/or polishing agents that will, most likely depending on the products, strip the anti-grease layer off of the phone's display.... This means fingerprints. lots of fingerprints. if it doesn't do this it will not have the same anti-grease performance, and I think just adds more layers of material with different refraction indexes, and makes the grease show up more easily. My phones definitely cleaned up easier, and looked better than they did to begin with. The other concern I would have is that these products generally recommend gloves and avoiding skin contact, like you clearly realize given you wore gloves to apply it.... after a few bad reactions to exposure to various chemicals over the years as well (these not included, I think*) I'm also just more careful with stuff like that than I once was.... these products shouldn't be applied to something that you handle so thoroughly and so often as your phone. Fridges, shiny surfaces you *dont* habitually touch sure, but the phone just seems like a bad idea to me.

  • I have AvalonKing ceramic coating on a couple of cars and it's a night-and-day difference how it performs. The car actually gets cleaner if you leave it out in the rain for a little while because the water beads just carry the dirt away. The dirt doesn't stick very strongly to the surface. That's great because it means less car washes and you're scratching the paint less because you're scrubbing it less often. Continues performing like that for years, it's phenomenal stuff.

Methodology matters when you are testing a product. It may have performed the same, but we wouldn't know. If Linus never saw basketball before, went to a hoop without a net, he might assume you throw it throw the hoop and try to hit the square on the backboard, because directions don't mean anything :p I mean, I've never played badminton, I just assume you are supposed to catch the birdie with your racket and try to throw it at the opposing side's face. You get different points for hitting different parts, the nose is a bullseye, eyes are a penalty ... if they catch it, just means its their serve.

  • I own a business professionally paint correcting and ceramic coating high end vehicles, and there is a lot of misinformation out there. Ceramic is not a filler, that’s why in an automotive setting, you have to polish or “level” the clear coat so you’re applying ceramic over a near flawless surface, or as close to perfection as you can achieve. Ceramic essentially seals in the work underneath, so if you apply ceramic over paint without decontamination or correction, it will be hydrophobic, however there will still be flaws and blemishes underneath. If you want a filler, PPF, also known as clear bra, acts as a filler for minor swirls and scratches however rock chips and deeper scratches will still be visible. Also the misconception that you’ll never have to wash your car again is false. It’ll make cleaning much easier and it is far more durable and hydrophobic than any traditional waxes or sealants out there, but you still have to wash your car. There is a lot to this that I can’t even begin to explain in a single comment, but this video is full of false information. People only think it’s snake oil because they believe the propaganda and marketing ploys pushed on them instead of seeking a professional opinion or doing their own research!

  • These coatings primarily help prevent scratches by making it harder for dirt that can cause scratches form sticking to your car. Dirt that's stuck to your car has a chance to scratch it however dirt that beads off with water does not have that chance. Basically reduces scratches by reducing the chance something will stick to the car long enough to scratch it.

  • Love the ceramic coating, but I believe touching your phone all the time would eventually wear this off. I think using a spray nano coating for cars would be 10x easier to apply with no wait time, and you could continue applying it as it wears off. Rather than having to leave it for a day or so to cure each time. Likely wouldn’t be as scratch resistant, but would have very similar cleaning properties.

They last longer and water won't stay on a car for long if it is coated with these. Some of them are expensive and even tricky to apply sometimes. Also these are things you want to apply with the garage door open because they can be stinky.

First I'd say its probably worth it to use a clay bar on the phone surface and even possibly a light compound to get the phone surface perfectly smooth. Secondly I'd recommend at least trying different brands of coatings because there is a sort of difference between brands and their formulas to the point of glass or even headlight specific coatings which would probably be closer to a phone screen than paint and there is even some all purpose ones.
