Hey guys, I assumed people might misunderstand the way I explained this: THE PRODUCT WAS LEFT FOR 24 HOURS TO CURE. I put that in bold text in the video because I failed to explain that, and only realized that after I was editing. Yes the product had 24 hours of cure time to all who are commenting.
@@sheepstardetaildude,i get it.i,m just saying that some of us DONT have garages.1/2 the weathermen are clueless .try planning your detailing on a huge vehicle like A DODGE RAM around a weather prediction.that is exactly why i have TW s&s on the front.old TW ice spray wax on part of the truck and hybrid ceramic on other parts....not using my new maxshine Da in the rain....my whole point...shit happens. So lets see what happens to the average joe when weather etc happens and you have to finish the job "x" hours later.
@@keithknechg3217 it doesn't need to cure in a garage, it can get wet after application, just can't be washed for 24 hours. You could spread the 2 coats over a couple days and still benefit from the added durability, which is much higher than SnS.
right .. so this means what? hah .. lets see how about yo take it close to the sun ! ya see what that does .. i'm talking like right up close to the sun
Been detailing for over 15 years and I'm a big fan of this stuff. When friends ask me what wax to use I recommend this. No, it's not a true ceramic coating. What it is is a great, accessible product that is easy to use and get good results. I used it on one of my cars that lives outside a couple months ago and it still is sheeting water like the day I applied it.
I applied some and went to the drag. I went from mid to high 12s into the 9 second range. It eliminated all wind resistance. Product is fantastic--expect to shave about 2 seconds to 60 and 3 in the quarter mile after you apply.
I've been happy with it so far. I did the typical prep, wash, clay, coat 1, then coat 2 the next day. It's been a few months now and it's still very much active. I put it on the wheels too. I tossed all my carnauba and various polymer liquid waxes. None of those have ever lasted 3 months. They're just straight up obsolete. Not beholden to Turtle Wax in any way, but definitely go with a ceramic.
I just did the same on my car and am hoping it lasts at least 6 months. Can I ask what general area you live in and if your car lives outside or inside? I'm in Kansas City and it (currently) lives outside. I know the bottle says "up to 12 months", but I'll be happy if I can get 6 months between reapplying.
@@Kcducttaper1 how much product was used from one 500ml bottle for 1 spray? I'll be using it on a Honda civic 2019 and hoping that it would be left for another coat after initial coat.
I know hybrid solutions is good. I accidentally sprayed some on my window without wiping and it stayed there until I buffed 7 months later it off. This stuff is the real deal!
I find if you let it cure for six weeks or so that's even better, making sure the vehicle remains indoors and not operated over that time. Then, repeat.....,a second treatment like the first. After three months you're good to go............... Just sayin'...............
I applied some of this to my car, I had a bird land on my car and it slid right off and knocked it self OUT when it hit the ground, there were no disclaimers about wildlife on the label, THE BIRD WASN'T HURT WHEN IT WOKE UP, JUST SHAKEN UP A LITTLE BUT WAS FINE
First of all, I appreciate the video! I actually find the "flaws" in your method interesting. It shows how the product performs when cutting corners on the application. One question, I'm curious why you used paint stripper after the polish. I was under the impression that the entire hybrid solutions line was meant to work together; building up layers of protection with each subsequent product?
Turtle wax stated to wait 24 hours before applying a second coat instead of applying a second coat right after the first one was applied. So 1st coat - wait 24 hours - 2nd coat - wait another 24 hours - chemical resistance test should be done to be fair.
I think there was some residue left behind. I think any SIO2 would need a 24hr cure time, period. Tracking the application on a clients car will be a awesome idea...luv the channel Luke, really appreciate the time you devote to us along with the honesty and real world opinions. Happy Holidays to you and your’s !!
@@sr71blackbirddr It's crazy, the UK and Australia cost a fortune for the same products that we use. Obviously it has something to do with International shipping but still.
I left mine in the garage gor 48 hrs after putting this on, yesterday we had one hell of a rain storm,it was still raining when i pulled into the garage again, but most of the car looked dry, its a pita to put on but so far its bested 5 other products ive tried.
Nice to hear ill probably try this later, as its the only Ceramic protection i know of that is easy to get of. Some real ceramic coatings cannot be removed even with machine polishing (this ones a sealant tho). At the moment im using Angelwax Ti-22 as sealant & an utterly amazing wax from Bilt Hamber Laboratories called "Finis Wax" - Its said to be one of the best waxes in the world (esp for the money) So i definetly recomend checking it out... 👍

@@wilsonautodetailing sorry again you ignore instruction like you did with the chemical guys product. Turle Wax say wipe surface with damp microfiber after Polish, nope. Apply 2 sprays per panel, NOPE. You seem to like using too much product as you seem to think you know better than the actual manufacturer. I dropped my sub after Chemical Guys "review".
Wilson Auto Detailing - I call BS on you waiting for 24 hours between applications. The camera is in the same position. The car when compare the the concrete block walls didn’t move. You’re wearing the exact same clothes in both shots. It appears that you’re lying in your comment.
What would be a real world test that most of us do is use a lead blower to see if the water will blow off or bead and smear on the trunk. Most people want a ceramic coating for the easy of drying so this being a spray that isn’t as durable and it won’t blow off the paint as nicely as a true coating. I use this spray a lot and it’s great for the first two washes after that it starts to break down and the water doesn’t blow off.
A real world test would be an initial test then a test in 6 months then again in 6 months. The price point of this product and the ease of application makes this product a winner.
For me I would call it a ceramic sealant, it works very well as a sealant for cars with ceramic treatments due to its si02 properties and its hydrophobic layer is very good. Now we all know that we do not have to go to the limits in tests with so many chemicals to test a product and give a review of it that we know that they will eliminate all the properties of the product, it is my two cents
To be fair, even if the product is for DYI people, it should have been left to bond 24 hours prior to the on-slot of chemicals you through at it. I'd say for not doing so, it held up pretty well.

for $15.....it is an awesome product. I used it on my $3,500 motorcycle Kineo wheels to prevent brake dust and road grime from sticking on to the spokes and polished aluminum CNC hubs. Scrubbing expensive wheels is a risk every time for the finish especially when brake dust metal particles have adhered themselves on to the paint and removing them can scratch the finish.

You’re good man. Haha as soon as I edited it in I knew people were going to think that I didn’t let it cure so I was anticipating it 😂😂 watch for the next 24 hours, I’ll be copying and pasting that explanation to 90% of the comments 😂
Definitely a bad chemical odor to the ceramic spray wax. It will get in your hair and if wind blows the wrong way or its a breeze in your nostrils. The wax itself works great, really makes car shine and hydrophobic more than any spray wax I have tried. I drove through heavy rain on open highway an when it stopped raining after about 40 miles and I stopped for gas the car was dried off and looked shiny still and didnt have any of that road dirt on it that you would usually expect after driving in rain. This definitely works, its just that it has an amonia-like chemical smell that stays in your nostrils and hair even after you shower , even if just a small amount of mist happens to blow your way. Definitely wear nitrile gloves when applying.
Allow me to share with you the benefit of my experience with this product. The proper application of this product determines the results. It is imperative this product is not applied in direct sunlight with a surface temperature above 75 degrees. Don’t spray directly on to paint surface. To insure uniform and complete coverage spray on to a micro fiber applicator pad. Less is definitely more and after application hand buff to a high luster. Paint preparation is paramount and when done properly will consume most of your time. Minimum prep is clay baring, machine polish in addition is even better. When I was done all I can say is wow. Wait 24 hrs before washing and re applying. Definitely a great bang for the buck. I used less than 6 oz for two applications. I did everything including glass and plastic. Turtle wax claims a full year of durability. I’m skeptical and hopeful at the same time. The product and all the necessary items cost me less than 30 bucks. Don’t forget to change your microfiber cloths frequently. Take your time and work logically from the top down. I wish you success.
Its very unlikely that much detergent would drift onto the paint from cleaning wheels and would not strip away the paint protectant. I used the Meguirs spray wax and switched to Turtle Wax which seems to last longer in the sun, its also cheaper to use; Just tried this Ceramic Coating and I'm impressed with the consumer products because my old vehicle gets some real attention and looks better than some new cars.
You mentioned that Turtle Wax compares to Adams and Meguires, but the other RUclips channels who have done similar tests have determined TW as the clear winner or if the host wanted to remain neutral, the comments from the majority of the viewers showed support for TW. Yet what's so funny is how many of the hosts actually sound disappointed that TW wins just as you did in your video. And I understand the Bias is typically from those of us who have been long term supporters of Griots or Meguires, like myself since 1993 when the detailing world was much different than it is today. But I also recognize the turn around from TW and that Griots and Meguires have been slow to respond to the change. At first, I wanted to stay with Carnuba for old times' sake, but once I tried CarPro's Si02, I couldn't defend my bias any longer because Ceramic coatings changed the world for the better. Look at your business and try to tell me that Coatings aren't your bread and butter :-). When TW came out as a minimum 6-month product and more likely 12 months with two coats applied 24 hours apart, I had to try it. That was when I recognized that I had found my new topper. I even tried a comparison between TLC2 vs TW on my wife's car hood with TW on the passenger side and TLC2 on the driver side. I asked my wife and the two neighbors with their wives to tell me which side looked the shiniest and which one felt the slickest. All three chose the TW side. They agreed they looked the same but it was the feel of slickness they felt that told them TW had the edge. I am now a SOLID fan of TW.
Wow! This is a great product! You are not going to wash your car with acids under normal condition, so its gonna last! Do you think its better than Mothers Ceramic spray?
Thanks again for an awesome video. Really enjoy them. Curious though why you chose to use the ceramic polish first though as doesn’t that have ceramic in it too?
This product streaks like mad on a black car. My car had been clay barred and ceramic coated already. Followed the instructions and watched several videos on this product but still got streaking. On my silver car it was fine. This car had not been clay barred or ceramic coated.
You could have split the truck lid for comparison. Using the protected side, versus the 3 cleaner side rather than guessing what the results appearance was.
Good video. Good explaination of the difference between sprayed on instant and pro applied ceramics. Its nice to know that a 500 dollar treatment won't come off at the car wash. Just for conversation, just two days ago I drove out of the detailer's garage after a complete day service into a torrential downpour and windstorm that washed the streets with mud and tree droppings. Is that a divine comedy because I did not get the ceramic coat? Maybe they are out to get me!
So I'm 15 and getting into the car detailing business, and I had a question regarding how you actually get to washing the customer's vehicle. Do you drive your equipment to their house, or do you have them bring their vehicle by? How's that work?
USA_Dobson I started when I was 15 and I am 18 now. I have people bring them over and sometimes I go pick them up. I don’t get a ton of business because my area sucks but you can make a ton of money if you can get decent business. Just keep practicing and watching videos. I’m still getting better every month it’s very fun
I think you need to use the maintainance products with this product. Example use Turtle Wax soap with ceramic coating to top off the ceramic coating initially of the first product. Or they have the ceramic wet and dry. Either one for maintainance.
Nice. I have followed and applied on the body except the windshield. Can I apply on windshield as well? It does read that can be applied on glass, plastic .
Nide video. After applying Turtlwax Ceramic Spray Coating what should we do for further maintenance if we are living dusty areas? Only shampoo wash is enough? again do we need to apply polish or wax?
Hey quick question. I detailed a Toyota Land Cruiser today and it took me almost 4 and a half hours to do the inside and out. Do you have any tips to speed up details so I can make more profit.
Does DEW count as water? My daily driver sits outside, and I applied this a few hours before sunset. The car had dew on it, and the next day after the 24 hours I did a light wash and applied a second coat to it. Hasn't rained since but again, the 2nd coat also had dew to contend with.
Hi, really good video but I have a question: will it affect an acrilic type of paint( not sure that's the correct way of saying it or water based paints not sure but I got what I'm asking ) ?
Have you tried the new soft99 super splash, that is made to protect against acid rain. performing fabulous on my white acura. I used it as a topper following turtle wax polish and wax!!!!!
Seems like still beading nicely still except the iron remover residue knocked of out - Is that renegade cleaner good for wheels Wrecked with brake dust ?
All u guy's throw wheel cleaners and the like to torture test and that's nice but not real world tests. U wanna test a product fairly, use coolant, oil, salt, etc... things that are REALLY gonna be on the road splashing up on ur cars. Then, leave them on for a few days with the sun beating down on them. THEN, wash off with a good soap like megs gold, and see what's what. Testing with things that are REALLY not going to be on a car, to me, seems a waste and not really fair for testing a product like the twcsc. I use the twcsc and love it. After driving in the real world conditions like I've mentioned, it works great and is lasting beautifully so far, and I did apply two coats, 2 days apart.
So based off these comments, I take it that the Turtle Wax Ceramic spray is a good alternative to the non-spray ceramic coat application, the part where you have to prep the paint, clay, polish, then apply the ceramic coat that comes in the small bottles?
HS dry vs wet? Do they exclude each other or they complement each other? That is: do you use either one of the two? OR do you US dry every few months and HS wet after each car wash for best results?

You should wait 24 hours before applying second coat. I wanted to get this video out so I went ahead and did both at the same time and waited 24 hours after that but I will be putting out more when I wait 24 hours in between each of the 2 applications
Have you considered the possibility that it's mostly the physical abrasion from your wash mitt that's removed it? How about repeating the test, using just water.
Ya that is part of it. I could ONLY apply the chemicals and not agitate it which would be another cool test. But it’s just that, it’s a different kind of test
SO did u let it bond for 24hrs OR NOT ? lol...if u did ,it would outlast Seal & Shine...theres already a review that let it bond for 24hrs...you said " FOR SAKE OF FOLLWING the MANUfACTURE DIRECTIONS" and you didnt..HMM

I just got a new truck and I am going to have the front end wrapped in film and then ceramic coat the back half. Do you think it would be ok to apply this to the entire truck after the first washing since I need to wait a few weeks for those professional treatments to be done?
Meguiars Hybird Ceramic Wax is far better. Last longer and out shines. The Turtle wax. Wash your car. Leave it wet! Apply Megiuars Ceramic Hybird wax with Micro fiber sponge. Then hit it with water and dry to a fine shine. Lasts for month's. $ 15.00 at Wal-Mart. Shawn
Because you first wash and prepare your vehicle hours and hours and then you use the wax ceramic coating and then you use iron remover - sounds pretty logical for me.
Well these coatings are a bit different. For example, under normal circumstances this particular coating has to be compounded off. But that’s the trade off for a coating that lasts a long time

To insure uniform and complete coverage spray on to a micro fiber applicator pad. Less is definitely more and after application hand buff to a high luster. Paint preparation is paramount and when done properly will consume most of your time. Minimum prep is clay baring, machine polish in addition is even better. When I was done all I can say is wow. Wait 24 hrs before washing and re applying. Definitely a great bang for the buck. I used less than 6 oz for two applications. I did everything including glass and plastic. Turtle wax claims a full year of durability. I’m skeptical and hopeful at the same time. The product and all the necessary items cost me less than 30 bucks. Don’t forget to change your microfiber cloths frequently. Take your time and work logically from the top down. I wish you success.

Its very unlikely that much detergent would drift onto the paint from cleaning wheels and would not strip away the paint protectant. I used the Meguirs spray wax and switched to Turtle Wax which seems to last longer in the sun, its also cheaper to use; Just tried this Ceramic Coating and I'm impressed with the consumer products because my old vehicle gets some real attention and looks better than some new cars.
You mentioned that Turtle Wax compares to Adams and Meguires, but the other RUclips channels who have done similar tests have determined TW as the clear winner or if the host wanted to remain neutral, the comments from the majority of the viewers showed support for TW. Yet what's so funny is how many of the hosts actually sound disappointed that TW wins just as you did in your video. And I understand the Bias is typically from those of us who have been long term supporters of Griots or Meguires, like myself since 1993 when the detailing world was much different than it is today. But I also recognize the turn around from TW and that Griots and Meguires have been slow to respond to the change. At first, I wanted to stay with Carnuba for old times' sake, but once I tried CarPro's Si02, I couldn't defend my bias any longer because Ceramic coatings changed the world for the better. Look at your business and try to tell me that Coatings aren't your bread and butter :-). When TW came out as a minimum 6-month product and more likely 12 months with two coats applied 24 hours apart, I had to try it. That was when I recognized that I had found my new topper. I even tried a comparison between TLC2 vs TW on my wife's car hood with TW on the passenger side and TLC2 on the driver side. I asked my wife and the two neighbors with their wives to tell me which side looked the shiniest and which one felt the slickest. All three chose the TW side. They agreed they looked the same but it was the feel of slickness they felt that told them TW had the edge. I am now a SOLID fan of TW.
Wow! This is a great product! You are not going to wash your car with acids under normal condition, so its gonna last! Do you think its better than Mothers Ceramic spray?
Thanks again for an awesome video. Really enjoy them. Curious though why you chose to use the ceramic polish first though as doesn’t that have ceramic in it too?
I put this stuff on my Sunday roast. Great shine once out of the oven.
This product streaks like mad on a black car.
My car had been clay barred and ceramic coated already. Followed the instructions and watched several videos on this product but still got streaking.
On my silver car it was fine. This car had not been clay barred or ceramic coated.
I’d love to see you do some reviews on Gyeon products. Especially Gyeon Can Coat which seems it would compete with the TW ceramic spray.
You could have split the truck lid for comparison.
Using the protected side, versus the 3 cleaner side rather than guessing what the results appearance was.
Kinda wondered why he didn’t either... maybe the high brands paid him off not to do it....🤔🗣🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Good video. Good explaination of the difference between sprayed on instant and pro applied ceramics. Its nice to know that a 500 dollar treatment won't come off at the car wash. Just for conversation, just two days ago I drove out of the detailer's garage after a complete day service into a torrential downpour and windstorm that washed the streets with mud and tree droppings. Is that a divine comedy because I did not get the ceramic coat? Maybe they are out to get me!
So I'm 15 and getting into the car detailing business, and I had a question regarding how you actually get to washing the customer's vehicle. Do you drive your equipment to their house, or do you have them bring their vehicle by? How's that work?
USA_Dobson I started when I was 15 and I am 18 now. I have people bring them over and sometimes I go pick them up. I don’t get a ton of business because my area sucks but you can make a ton of money if you can get decent business. Just keep practicing and watching videos. I’m still getting better every month it’s very fun
I think you need to use the maintainance products with this product. Example use Turtle Wax soap with ceramic coating to top off the ceramic coating initially of the first product. Or they have the ceramic wet and dry. Either one for maintainance.
24 hours between 1st and 2nd application is recommended.
Another very detailed and informative video. Thank you. Waiting for more videos.
Thanks man!
Nice. I have followed and applied on the body except the windshield. Can I apply on windshield as well? It does read that can be applied on glass, plastic .
Nide video. After applying Turtlwax Ceramic Spray Coating what should we do for further maintenance if we are living dusty areas? Only shampoo wash is enough? again do we need to apply polish or wax?
the 2nd coat is applied after 12-24 hr cure time.....so why did'nt you follow the manufacturer recommendation????
Hey quick question. I detailed a Toyota Land Cruiser today and it took me almost 4 and a half hours to do the inside and out. Do you have any tips to speed up details so I can make more profit.
Does DEW count as water? My daily driver sits outside, and I applied this a few hours before sunset. The car had dew on it, and the next day after the 24 hours I did a light wash and applied a second coat to it. Hasn't rained since but again, the 2nd coat also had dew to contend with.
That's fine as it does still cure if it is pure water, so it should be fine just as long as you gave it the 24hr cure time.
I don't iron remover does affect it the most. Would be better to divide the trunk in 3 sections and test the effect of the different chemicals...
Great videos. So what would you recommend as far as a spray coating if not this?
Did you let it cure for 24 hrs then apply a 2nd coat and let it cure for 24 hrs again?
Hi, really good video but I have a question: will it affect an acrilic type of paint( not sure that's the correct way of saying it or water based paints not sure but I got what I'm asking ) ?
I don’t want to say this is a harsh test in a bad way but wow. This was a killer test. I think that amount of torture was impressive
Even if you have to use iron remover just put on another coat afterwards.. its not expensive..
Have you tried the new soft99 super splash, that is made to protect against acid rain. performing fabulous on my white acura. I used it as a topper following turtle wax polish and wax!!!!!
can you apply this over your professional grade ceramic coating (I have a 7 year professional)... can this add to my protection? or pointless?
yes u can. it helps maintain your coating
Seems like still beading nicely still except the iron remover residue knocked of out -
Is that renegade cleaner good for wheels
Wrecked with brake dust ?
The garage is coming along great!!!!
Thank you!
All u guy's throw wheel cleaners and the like to torture test and that's nice but not real world tests. U wanna test a product fairly, use coolant, oil, salt, etc... things that are REALLY gonna be on the road splashing up on ur cars. Then, leave them on for a few days with the sun beating down on them. THEN, wash off with a good soap like megs gold, and see what's what. Testing with things that are REALLY not going to be on a car, to me, seems a waste and not really fair for testing a product like the twcsc. I use the twcsc and love it. After driving in the real world conditions like I've mentioned, it works great and is lasting beautifully so far, and I did apply two coats, 2 days apart.

Brian from apex detail changed to a similar test you described he uses coolant and salt mixture and it held up quite well
@@lucashaller2330 Yup. That's right.
@@bosch504 Bahhhaaaa I!
@@bosch504 I've had it last only about 3 washes.
I’m buying this for my quad which will probably get washed 2 - 3 times a year.. is it worth it?
One huge issue in many countries, it cannot prevent hardwater mark staining.
Good video. Do you think the turtlewax ceramic spray can be sprayed on plasti dip paint?
So based off these comments, I take it that the Turtle Wax Ceramic spray is a good alternative to the non-spray ceramic coat application, the part where you have to prep the paint, clay, polish, then apply the ceramic coat that comes in the small bottles?
Directions says 2 sprays per panel for the ceramic spray.
HS dry vs wet? Do they exclude each other or they complement each other? That is: do you use either one of the two? OR do you US dry every few months and HS wet after each car wash for best results?
So can this product be used on Ceramic Coated car? Like we use silica spray?
You didn’t let it cure between coats also did you let it cure before the tests
Split the bootlid into 3 seperate areas would probably be a better test.
Yeah, I'd use this...extra protection between polishes. Why not?
Yep! This is definitely a great product. One of the stronger spray ceramics that I’ve seen
In terms of durability, do Turtle wax ceramic spray Coating and Turtle wax ice seal n shine keep up with paste and liquid wax?
Did you let it bond for 24 hours before you did the test?
EcogreenDetail PapaSmurf918 the product was left to cure for 24 hours. I realized in my editing that I failed to say that in the video, so I put it in bold text on the video screen to make sure everyone knew that YES IT WAS LEFT FOR 24 hours to cure beforehand.
@@wilsonautodetailing you said "let it dwell for an hour and a half" literally in the video ??
Does this product treat varnish fading (the glossy layer that protects the paint) and what do you recommend?
Can I Top up Turtle wax ice spray wax to Turtle wax ceramic spray coating and Turtle wax ice seal n shine?
Yes you can saw some videos about it on: pan the organiser
Do you or should you wait 24 hrs before applying the Second coat?
You should wait 24 hours before applying second coat. I wanted to get this video out so I went ahead and did both at the same time and waited 24 hours after that but I will be putting out more when I wait 24 hours in between each of the 2 applications
How do you wash to maintain after applying?
Great stuff. But can you use it as a topper on an actual ceramic coating(cquartz3.0)? Thanks in advance
Appreciate the information, Wilson! Thanks 😀🤗😍❤👍
Of course! Thanks for being involved my man!
@@wilsonautodetailing ❤
You prefer Turtle seal&shine or this ceramic spray?
Hello, how often should this be applied? By another mean, how long it lasts?
Why did you use a paint stripper after the polish? Weren’t the hybrid series made to be used together?
Hey! When is the right time to apply this product on a brand new car?
Have you considered the possibility that it's mostly the physical abrasion from your wash mitt that's removed it? How about repeating the test, using just water.
Ya that is part of it. I could ONLY apply the chemicals and not agitate it which would be another cool test. But it’s just that, it’s a different kind of test
I hate it during winter when my car is the only one in the parking lot that has iced drops on it
SO did u let it bond for 24hrs OR NOT ? lol...if u did ,it would outlast Seal & Shine...theres already a review that let it bond for 24hrs...you said " FOR SAKE OF FOLLWING the MANUfACTURE DIRECTIONS" and you didnt..HMM

I just got a new truck and I am going to have the front end wrapped in film and then ceramic coat the back half. Do you think it would be ok to apply this to the entire truck after the first washing since I need to wait a few weeks for those professional treatments to be done?
The once a year cheap Nu Finish polish works just as good for under $10
Except it takes much more time to use the Nu Finish, in my experience.
Damn Luke 75k subs!! Holy smokes.. been rocking with you when you had like 4k lmaoo congrats
Dude thank you! AN ORIGINAL!
Why would you polish it before ceramic coating?????
Is the turtle nano can be use in the windshield? Or any glass part of the car?
If you spray it and remove it right afterwards does it really stay on there?
Glad my rain doesn't pressure wash down...
Meguiars Hybird Ceramic Wax is far better. Last longer and out shines. The Turtle wax. Wash your car. Leave it wet! Apply Megiuars Ceramic Hybird wax with Micro fiber sponge. Then hit it with water and dry to a fine shine. Lasts for month's. $ 15.00 at Wal-Mart. Shawn
What brand iron remover you used
Because you first wash and prepare your vehicle hours and hours and then you use the wax ceramic coating and then you use iron remover - sounds pretty logical for me.
Good review
Great video bro👍🏼👍🏼
What do you use to remove the protectant as quickly as possible before paint correction? These sealants and coatings can be tricky to remove.
Well these coatings are a bit different. For example, under normal circumstances this particular coating has to be compounded off. But that’s the trade off for a coating that lasts a long time
@@keithknechg3217 I've been using seal and shine for 6 years now. Absolutely amazing on gel coat. I also detail boats.
@@1983skeletor good to know ,just bought a new 18' tracker fishing boat.aluminum.guessin treat it like car paint.?
@@keithknechg3217 no not on aluminum. Only gel coat or car paint.
@@1983skeletor so no sealn shine on a painted finish,on a new boat( 6 mos old,got a scratch from a downed tree👎).touch up paint & call it a day?
Would it not be be official to wash it with a ph neutral soap in between to make sure all residue is off the surface?
