In my original shipment of samples from Ethos Car Care was a mysterious blue bottle. It turns out that this was a bottle of D3FY or Defy. This sample bottle was sent to me prior to the final label design but it is the retail formula.
This product is advertised as an innovative 3-in-1 formula that cleans, conditions, and coats in seconds. I sort of think of it as a quick detailer on steroids because it has cleaning properties while being infused with ceramic technology to leave behind a paint protection coating.
Application of this product is fairly simple. I was advised by the manufacturer to mist the product on and spread with a damp microfiber towel. Then go back and wipe off the excess with a dry microfiber towel.
Defy features Ethos' Insta-Bond Technology which just means that the product instantly bonds with the surface. There is no cure time and the car should be ready to face the elements immediately.
This product can be used in a variety of ways. First, you can simply use it as a cleaner to clean lightly soiled surfaces. Defy is designed to provide enough lubrication to lift contaminants and help to take it off surfaces without scratching or streaking. Second, it can be used as a standalone paint protection coating. After application, Defy will leave behind a layer of protection that should last for months. Third, Defy can be used to maintain a previously applied coating. No matter what paint protection coating you apply, it will eventually wear off. When I see that my vehicle’s main coating is slowing down, I hit it with Defy. You can of course do this with a variety of other products but I choose Defy because of its ease of application and versatility. This product can be applied to any surface whether it’s paint, plastic, glass, chrome, or whatever. I’d rather just use one product and get everything done with one pass rather than going back and forth with different products to hit the various materials. This is where I see the value of Defy. It just makes my life easier when it comes time to maintain my previously applied coatings.
Overall, I think Defy is an interesting product and is worth a try for anyone who’s looking for a waterless cleaner, an easy to apply paint protection coating, or a way to maintain a previously applied coating. This product is very versatile and can be used in many ways.
