OCD Finish Velocity Si02 Ceramic Detailer Review

What We Say

What is it:

An Si02 based ceramic detailer from the team at OCD Finish. OCD Finish go on to describe the product as follows; Velocity is the ultimate quick detailer, which effectively enhances the gloss of your vehicle's finish to a deep shine. Developed with a unique formula it incorporates Si02 ceramic properties that increase the durability of the finished shine and changes the way water behaves across the surface of your panels, protecting it from the elements, road grime, and other contaminants.

How We Tested it:

The OCD Finish team sent us a 500ml bottle of Velocity to put through its paces. We have used the product for a variety of uses to observe its versatility, durability and ease of use as well as looking at the value the product offers and its place on the market.

We Liked:

• Stylishly presented with a vivid logo and bottle design helping the product to look both professional and appealing.
• Fantastically easy to use, simple spray and wipe application with minimal buffing required.
• Great durability for a quick detailer type product, we have seen weeks of impressive water repellency on treated surfaces.
• Great sleek, deep appearance to surfaces once treated.
• Great beading and sheeting of water.

We didn't like:

• The wording/placing of the product as a quick detailer. Is it a detailer? Or is it more a paint sealant.
• Quite pricey in its product band. Other quick detailers are a lot cheaper, though offer less protection.
• Can be a little streaky on darker paint and require additional buffing.

Overall:

A brilliantly easy to use and effortless way to add protection to your vehicle. It is hard not to be impressed by the protection you can give your car with this product and the depth of shine it can add to the finish in literally a few minutes. Our main issue"¦and we feel harsh saying issue"¦is with the branding of the product as a quick detailer. Undoubtedly it adds a real depth of shine, quickly and effortlessly as per expected from a quality quick detailer. It's durability and protective qualities however puts it more into spray sealant categorisation. This isn't a criticism as such as extra protection is obviously a positive, we just fear that without communicating this clearly, the £18 price tag could put Quick Detailer fans looking toward cheaper alternatives.
