The ability to apply this in direct sunlight is huge, because some people don't have a garage or carport for shade. This is especially great for anyone living in an apartment complex whose looking to give their car a fantastic shine with great paint protection!
i used this product inside my garage and yes you do need 100% to go over with a Lightly wet microfibre towel, distilled water wold be best for the towel for best results
I used it last night after a 2 day process of detailing my truck. It spreads real easy and comes off easy. I kept wanting to drink it because it smells like an energy drink
@@andychang8031 No, I just let it sit overnight in the polebarn. If I drove it around after the first coat I would have definitely washed it first. Good luck!
The slickness is amazing. If you want to really add some longevity to your finish, add a second coat 24 hours after you applied the 1st. Thanks for watching!
Turtle Wax will never die they will just keep producing new and better products. Bought some Turtle Wax detailer the other day for $13 compared to $30-$35 for same over-priced Bowdens and Meguairs products.
Definitely a great value for quality products! We just noticed that Turtle Wax is celebrating 74 years this month. Amazing! Thank you for checking out the channel!
Actually correction! You don't have to wait 24 hours to apply water to review this test. Only 24 hours before you wash the panel. The panel is 100% protected from the time of application.
After Spring wash-ups & claybar I have applied 3 spray coats over the Hybrid polish (with proper cure times) on both my Tornado red GTI and my wifes metal flake blue Mazda 3. Results of shine/gloss and water repellancy/ease of clean-up are astounding. As far as streaking - damp towel with distilled h2o takes care of any high spots. This system is the real deal from TW...
I've found that with both the Hybrid polish and spray a mild wipe down with a Mequiers micro towel lightly misted with distilled water really evens things out and enhances overall gloss. It's an easy second step and totally worth the effort. This stuff is incredibly satisfying. Cheers!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 to the distilled water wipe idea, i put this product on my 2018 golf R and didnt wipe with lightly wet towel and i have spots around the car 😑😑 now
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's looking like it is necessary step, but a minor inconvenience for the outstanding results of these products! Thank you for watching!
@@michaelwas8549Hey Michael, glad this product is working for you! I've got a coat of polish and 3 coats.of spray ceramic on my GTI and my wife's Mazda 3 touring sedan. Do yourself a favor and take less than 10 minutes to use a distilled water damped cloth to go over your ride - then a polish towel wipe down. You'll be glad you did. It's just a couple of minutes but will def enhance the gloss. This stuff needs to be worked a bit but rewards are astounding.
Really appreciate all the info on these products. Gotta say though i felt like doctor strange and the incredible hulk was giving the tutorial!! Cant wait to try these products out for sure!!
Gentlemen, I have used this product, TW Hybrid Ceramic Coating, on both of my cars, and have found this product, as well as all of the TW Hybrid Solutions, excellent. How I used it? After properly preparing my cars for polishing/waxing, and after 2 coats of TW Hybrid Solution Polish/wax, then I applied 2 coats of TW Ceramic Coating, waiting 24 hours between coats. After 6 months of applying the initial coats, I have applied a third coat, and it seems like i just waxed it! Amazing! I have used all of the TW Hybrid Solutions products, and would recommend all of them. Because of the costs, I usually use ONR, once a week, because of our harsh winters here in the midwest. I highly recommend the TW Hybrid Solutions line of products, as long as your car is properly prepared.
Thank you for sharing your process when using the TWHS Ceramic Spray. We agree, proper preparation is key. It's pretty amazing how durable the product is, we've conducted some torture tests (none scientific) and it holds up very well against some harsh conditions. Thanks again for watching and commenting. :)
Totally fantastic product.... guys.... one suggestion for you.... do not flip your application rag from the wet side to the dry side until AFTER you cross hatch the product. Work the product in with the wet side of the application rag. This stuff really works beyond well.
I used 2 coats of turtle ceramic and I have not touched my black jeep in 2 years, now I am in Melbourne Australia and I used it in full afternoon sun If I remember we were having high 30s° of heat wave. To date I have not applied anything else dirt and water just slides of the paint work. I don't know if it's because I look after my JEEP been black I am bit of a fuss pot on my JEEP so far I am pleased that a product does what it says it does yet cheaper then Migures and works better then the expensive products. I actually love I bought 2 more spray bottles to keep in my tool box in case I cannot get any when I need it, I have it in my tool box. It feels soft slippery I am very happy as we have very hot days in Australia last few years has been getting over 43°c and 45°c very very happy with Turtle ceramic best to wait over night for best results.
This is a great product, but if you want the ultimate in gloss and longevity, there is no substitute for Fusso Soft 99. I managed to get 18 months of protection with it on my wife’s black Mazda Tribute, and that includes driving every day in nasty Chicago winters.
That is amazing getting 18 months on a daily driven vehicle (and through the rough winter months)! We are not familiar with Fusso products. Definitely will be checking out Fusso Soft 99 now. Thank you for the recommendation and we appreciate you checking out the channel!
I live just off the Gulf of Mexico and in June of 2021, it's in the upper 80's and 90's. I have no shade. Heat index of 105 or more. The metal is cannot be touched it's so hot. I have no choice but to use this product in direct sunlight. I am also disabled so I looked at it's ease of use when choosing Turtlewax Hybrid products. So I guess we'll just have to see if it's as good as it claims. So far, it's the easiest to use. I hope it works out! :)
Hi Thomas. Hope the Turtle Wax is still holding up for you. That is definitely some tough conditions to detail with. The ease of use is extremely beneficial in these situations. Thanks for watching!
Great video guys i,ve yet to start using this great brand and im confident about it cos my wife works where they ship it from here in the UK !! So i will update you on the complete process!
I tried this stuff (hard shell paste by hand at age 60 is very difficult doing 2 cars) and had problems with this stuff and threw it away, then used the old hard shell paste I've used for 40 years. This is what I did wrong. Step 1 - spray. Step 2 - spread it around with first microfiber cloth. Step 3 - buff with second clean microfiber cloth. At what point do I use the third "damp" microfiber cloth everyone says I need but isn't in the directions?? Thanks for your help. I really need an easier way for an older man to wax his and his Wife's cars.
I just wish when you guys make these kind of videos and I'm talking about every do-it-yourself video that's on RUclips that you show people how to do things right. first of all no disrespect but you'll use one microfiber towel to apply the product you'll use a second one to remove it that's why you were getting streaking because the towel that you use to apply the product was still wet from the product whether you turn it over or not never use the same towel to apply the product as you would to remove it this is how you keep everything moving clean and streamlined. Also it's wise to spray the product directly on the microfiber towel so you don't get overspray because that overspray will get on to the glass and other parts and dry and that's not good because these products drive very quickly that's why you do very small sections at a time. Thanks for the video and by the way I've been an automotive detailer and restore in the industry for over 32 years. I give you good advice and you will see the difference
Thanks for constructive criticism. It might not have been apparent, but we did use a fresh microfiber towel during the speed up portions of the video. We were getting the streaking immediately after application. Turtle Wax even calls it out on their bottle, so it is not a surprise to us. We have recently started using a microfiber applicator and that does work a lot better than spraying directly on the panel. Appreciate you watching!
Nothing has made my 9 yr old bmw m sport Carbon Black Metallic paint look soo deep wet and deep black with a super glass shine as easy as spray it, spread it evenly, wait 2 minutes and wipe and be amazed! This Turtle wax ceramic is so highly recommend for all black cars ...
Great to hear how well it is working for you. Definitely an amazing product and value! Have you seen the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Acrylic Black Wax spray? Great product as well! Thanks for watching!
It's a little bit finicky in sunlight just tougher to wipe up than a regular spray wax but not as hard as a real coating. Still a good idea to use in a garage or shaded area.
Amazon ships tons of stuff in bubble mailers that have no business being in one. They might even just stick a shipping label to an item's retail box, like a PC liquid cooling radiator. Inside the box is like one layer of bubble protecting the fins from damage. Yes, many get damaged when they do this.
I don’t think you put on enough is why it’s streaking. Directions say 2 sprays per panel, and spread over a 2 x 2 area …. 4 sq feet . The hood needs way more than 4 sprays. Directions are misleading, I think they mean a “panel” is actually 4sqft, not a hood, fender, door etc. Also I don’t see why you couldn’t use 1/4 or 1/2 sprays to Taylor to where your applying on the car, that’s who’s I did my new Camry.
I appli3d this my vehicle and its wonderful, rain was kust beeding off my panels and windows while driving on the highway. Not a single spot ony car from the rain either.
We definitely think the damp microfiber will help you out. We tend to get some streaking with all the Turtle Wax SiO2 products, but they have great gloss and longevity. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the info! I applied this, and the second coat the next day, and it looks great. I've never done my own detailing, but the car was ready with paint corrected, etc, because I had some work done by a detailer earlier in the month. What do I have to do for future coatings in the 6-12 months? Do I have to somehow strip it away and start over with clay/polish/etc? Or do I just wash, dry and reapply every couple months for good? I didn't buy the Hybrid solutions Ceramic Wash & Wax, but I could if that's the "system."
Hello. Yes, we always recommend polishing the paint first to get it to your level of satisfaction. Then make sure to use a prep spray/wipedown to have beautiful bare clearcoat waiting for Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating! Thanks for watching.
I don't use it on direct sun light, no matter what. They Say it lasts over 12 momths after applying the second coat, but I don't belive that, I apply it every four months because it's easy and cheap.
This is a great product. Maybe even the best you can get off the shelf……..but why are people buying it off Amazon? Is it not cheaper at CT? Am I wrong? Just wondering…
Thank you for the super content guys! Had all the answers i was looking for. I have one question though. My new car is arriving in a week, what process i should be using to apply the ceramic spray. Please help!
Thanks for the question Giorgos. We would recommend using this for the initial 2 coats only (waiting 24 hours in between) and then maintaining with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Wet Wax or Ceramic Detailer. Any more use of Hybrid Solution Ceramic Spray Coating might create a buildup. Thanks for watching!
Definitely can use it right after a wash, but for best longevity and brilliance/look a clay and polish will really make your paint pop and feel like glass! Thanks for watching!
I have the ceramic wax and dry I’m going to buy the ceramic spray which one should I use first or can I use them together I mean please help I’m not a pro with cleaners and cleaning car
Hi Derek. You have a great combo there. After giving your vehicle a good wash with a gentle car shampoo, use Ceramic Spray Coating as your base layer of protection. (Just follow the directions on the bottle😁) After future washes, use the Hybrid Solutions Wax N Dry each time to extend protection and add a pop of gloss! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Hello. Definitely give your vehicle a monthly wash, use a good ph neutral car shampoo and we like to use the 2 bucket method (wash bucket and rinse bucket). Of course a different set of tools and bucket for the wheels too. After that, to preserve the coating's health, we recommend using a product like Turtle Wax Ceramic Detailer or the new Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro Flex Wax with Graphene. Hope that helps. Take care and thank you for watching!
If I understand it correctly, you can get by with JUST this ceramic spray. The other products you are showing are just to make it prettier and/or extend the longevity of the ceramic spray... correct?
Hi John! Let us know how it goes. We would recommend to clay the surface and wipe with a Surface prep/alcohol solution before applying the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. This ensures the best adhesion of the product! Thank you for watching. Good luck! It’s a fantastic product.
@@PureOctaneGarage The paint is still "new-ish". It's on a 2020 Camaro SS that's never been rained on and babied since the day I got it...haha I kind of want to try this product without stripping the current wax layers and see how this TW behaves....it might be a good video for my channel. I'll get back to you guys and let you know what happens.
The instructions says to do a 2nd coat for 12 months of protection, but it doesn't give and time frame between coats. You see any problem waiting a week?
You are right. We would wait a minimum of 24 hours to allow the first coat to cure. You will be fine waiting a week, just make sure to give your vehicle a good wash with a pH balanced car shampoo prior to applying the second coat. You are going to love the coating! Thanks for watching.
December in Arizona huh. Having lived in Arizona off and on for over 50 years. That means you are in the almost hot as hell season versus the hotter than hell season. Has anyone who's lived in Arizona or currently lives in Arizona can tell you but the last place you want to be on a bright sunny day is anywhere near the hot sheet metal of a car. Unless you're planning on frying an egg on top of it. Don't ask me how I know that.
Great question Alex. You do not need to wash the car again if it remained clean for the 24 hour cure time with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Polish & Wax. (if it did get dirty or dusty, probably a good idea to wash or waterless wash the vehicle, but use something without protection to do so)Go ahead and apply the Ceramic Spray Coating after the cure time. You will love the results! Thank you for watching!
Hi Carlynn. Great question. Typically you would want to wait 60-90 days after a fresh repaint. This will allow the paint to fully cure. Also, double check this with the body shop/painter that is repainting your vehicle. Thanks for watching!
Should you wash, clay bar, polish then spray this on?? Or can i just wash my car then spray this ceramic spray on ? Also can i use this over the top on a standard wax as a extra protection? That’s what i want mostly, extra protection as i work in a industrial area, has cement place close by and fertiliser
Thank you for the video. I clay barred first. I have sprayed two coats of the ceramic spray and after cleaning with hybrid solutions 3in 1 detailer, I still feel something on the paint. I also had to scrub hard with the detailer to get some spots off probably from a tree. I don't know what I did wrong.
You might have to use a more aggressive clay bar, (medium grade)but beware, you will need to polish your paint after this due to light marring from the more aggressive clay. Sounds like you did do everything correct otherwise. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
I’ve always been a nu finish user because of how long it lasts, but thinking of trying this product out. Would there be any benefit to applying the nu finish before the Hybrid Solutions, or would that affect the way it bonds with the paint?
It would affect the bond of the Ceramic Spray Coating to have any other wax or sealant on the paint before applying. Though, you would be fine to place a wax or Sealant on top of the Ceramic Spray coating. Great question and thanks for watching!
I've always used nu-finish and always been more than happy with the longevity. Usually 6 months or longer. My car (that I just traded in) had some pretty bad water spot etching into the clear coat. I’ve heard that nu-finish changed the formula and it’s not as good. On my new suv I’ve tried the turtle wax ceramic.. went on and buffed much easier than the nu-finish. Shine is incredible. If it lasts thru the winter I will be a permanent convert. Time will tell.
@@MrHitthespot Since I wrote this comment I actually started using it on both my wife's car and my truck. Very pleased with it so far! Did two coats on her car and one on my truck. Both have received a few washes and I can't complain. Interested to see how it will do over winter.
@@PureOctaneGarage Tested the Hybrid Solutions over the winter and it was a little disappointing. Did ok, but didn't last more than a few weeks once the salt hit the roads. The Nu Finish while not as good as it was is still beading when the vehicle is wet. I'm wondering... has anyone tested the ceramic coating and with a layer of Nu Finish put on over top? The shine from the Ceramic is superior, but the Nu finish lasts longer. Wondering if I could get the best of both worlds by using the two together?
Hi Mike. You can apply the second coat either way. We tend to wait until our next wash and apply the subsequent coat at that time. Thanks for watching!
Pure Octane Garage -thanks again. Is this the correct steps then, first good wash, clay, apply the turtle hybrid polish and wax and use the turtle hybrid ceramic spray? Use the turtle hybrid 3 in 1 in between washes or use it after each wash to maintain the protection? I have not waxed my wife’s car in over a year but the car was kept in garage when it was parked.
Always always wash your car before applying any ceramic coating why would you apply a sealant such as a ceramic coating over car that might be dirty or have dust on it you will seal that crap right back in there. I'm shaking my head with these two guys doing this video it's hard to sit here and watch two people giving awful information and the way they applied the product and took it off look like two guys from their Three stooges. I've been doing this for 32 years and I just shake my head sometimes when I see this shit
I'm thinking about buying this but I had one question, I hope you guys can answer it. I live at a place where there's lots of dust and I don't have a closed garage to keep my car in. So can I do the first layer and then keep my car covered with a car cover for 24 hrs for curing before applying the second coat?
Hi Gaurav. We think you’ll be fine using the car cover to keep the vehicle protected while waiting for the cure of Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. While not the best case scenario, you are keeping the dust level down. Just get that 2nd layer on as soon as you can! (Might need to lightly dust the vehicle before applying) Let us know how it goes. Take care and thanks for the question!
How long does this last? I am seeing mixed reviews where people are saying it can’t protect more than 2-4 weeks. Is it better to go with liquid wax than this?
With proper prep to the paint, we have seen about a year. A lot of results depend on enviromental conditons exposed to and prep work. The liquid Ceramic waxes are still in testing for us, but so far Adam's Liquid Graphene Wax has held up for 7 months on a lightly driven vehicle. We also have Turtle Wax Graphene Paste Wax that was just applied to a new vehicle a month ago. We'll post an update on those shortly. Thanks for watching!
I have now tried Turtle Ceramic Spray... But i dont know if i did wrong in "cleaning" the car-paint right before with (Sonax Xtreme Cleaner+Wax)... do you think the wax makes the Ceramic spray less able to stick or be efficient ?
Hi Bjarni. We definitely think that is what you ran into. The wax in the Sonax Xtreme added a small layer of protection. In our experiences, these ceramics and SiO2 sealants really like a bare paint surface to adhere to. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news there. Since it didn't adhere as intended, we bet a good strip car wash with a coating prep wipe will easily remove it and let you attempt again when you are ready to detail next.
You definitely can use Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax on top of the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. (you can also top Ceramic Spray Coating with Ice SealNShine for even more durability) The Ice Spray Wax is a similar product to the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wet Wax that works in the same manner. Thanks for the question and watching!
Adam’s Polishes has Strip Wash that will prepare the vehicle surface for you. Another is McKee’s 37 Coating Prep Auto Wash. Hope that helps out. Have fun coating and thank you for watching!
Fast forward a few months and, well it's partial lock down here in Ireland. So I decided to purchase the full Turtle Wax Ceramic product range and spend a few hours on my 2018 Audi RS3 in Panther Black, crystal effect which has a ceramic coating already applied. Anyway I washed my car on Sunday with the Turtle Wax shampoo and dried off the car thoroughly. I then applied the Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray with one microfiber cloth and buffed off with a second clean cloth. I noticed that the paint looked slightly dull, almost like you could see oxidation on the paint surface. It seems to have cures OK and looks fine now. Have you encountered anything like this at all or is this a fool proof application? Also in an ideal world would you recommend a second application to get a better result and a longer lasting coating?
Yes, we have experienced a similar result. We noticed a streaking or haze, that was more noticeable on a dark color. We could reduce the streaking/hazing by wiping gently over the surface with a damp microfiber. After being on the surface for several days the streaking seemed to be gone. Yes, according to Turtle Wax, applying a second coat will extend its protection up to 12 months. Thank you for watching. :)
Pure Octane Garage I’ll try this at the weekend, second coat. Not sure if I should have waxed the first time instead of going directly to the Spray, what do you think? Also it’s about 12 to 16 degrees here.
When applying any durable ceramic spray coating, like Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating the surface should be properly prepped for best bonding and results. This may vary slightly depending on the vehicle’s finish condition. The steps we follow before applying any ceramic spray coating are as follows. A thorough wash, and dry, clay bar the surface, then if needed a machine polish, finally a wipe down with a 50/50 IPA/water mixture or other safe surface prep to remove any polish residue. At that point, the surface is clean and ready for protection from your coating of choice. You always want your base protection to be the strongest form of protection, for example, ceramic sprays are more durable and stronger than traditional wax, so the base layer should be the ceramic spray. You can then maintain the coating with products like TWHS Ceramic 3in1 Detailer, TWHS Ceramic Wash & Wax and TWHS Ceramic Wet Wax as a drying aid. Using these other products is not required but it may help extend protection. With the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions products we noticed less streaking with warmer temperatures, around 21 degrees or warmer, just our observation. But 12-16 degrees should be fine,. In our opinion, we would avoid using spray protection products when it's cooler than 10 degrees. Hope this helps. :)
Sounds like you probably applied too much. It really only takes 1 squirt per 2’x2’ section. Keep changing out the wipe off towel as it gets wet and isn’t functioning properly.
Octane does not offer any better fuel mileage, increase engine horsepower, or make the engine start quicker. Higher octane only reduces the likelihood of engine knock or ping. ... Because higher octane gas burns slower, it is more resistant to knock when subjected to higher RPM and cylinder pressures. That's a good name for your channel,
Hi Jhef. Yes, you can apply this on top of a ceramic coating. Just make sure the surface is freshly washed/dried and be sure to give it the 24hr cure time after applying. Thanks for watching!
I used the spray coating this evening, after a full polish using the ceramic polish and wax. (24 hr previous). I followed the instructions closely, but didn't get great results. The product is very hard to buff off, leaving smears and dark patches. I don't get it. Two sprays per panel, work it around with a microfibre, then buff with a dry and clean microfiber. It just doesn't want to come off. I don't get it, is this the same product?
Dang! That is always disappointing when putting all the effort into your vehicle's finish. We have run into the streaks/smears with Turtle Wax products. If you haven't tried it, dampen a microfiber polishing cloth with water and go over any streaks. That has worked for us to knock down high spots. If that doesn't work, reach out to Turtle Wax via the link below. They are very good about addressing questions and concerns. Let us know your final results. thank you for checking out the channel! www.turtlewax.com/en-us/contact-us/
@@PureOctaneGarage thanks!! A damp microfiber sorted it out. I think this was due to the polish already laying down some coating, so this was a bit like a second coat and there was excess?
Great video! Thumbs up! 👍 Do you know the percentage of SiO2 in the product? PS. What do you think about the *Hybrid Solutions PRO* series and their *GRAPHENE infused FLEX WAX* product?
Hi Boyan. We checked and were not able to come up with the % of SiO2 contained in this product. You can definitely use the Pro series in tandem with this. We reviewed the Hybrid Solutions Pro Line a little while back. (New testing ideas) Thank you!
My car had Cquartz applied 7 yrs ago and I've bee using Reload to maintain it also a Carpro product. Now it's not what it once was and I would like to try something like the Turtle wax ceramic. Do I need to do anything special before using the Turtle wax product, can I clay bar the car as is then start with the TW ceramic? Wasn't sure if I needed to strip wash the car with anything first. Any suggestions will me much appreciated.
Thanks for the question. We would recommend a strip car wash, clay bar or mitt treatment, compound & polish, and finally a surface prep wipe down (usually a isopropyl alcohol mix). After these steps you will have a clean and prepped surface to start fresh with your Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray Coating. Don’t forget to do a second Spray Coat 24 hrs later to get about 1 year of longevity! Thanks for checking out the channel!
Spots will always be an issue if the surface is not dried off. They will definitely be easier to remove if you have protection on the surface. If you do get spotting, it will be on the coating versus on your vehicle's clearcoat /paint. Hope that helps answer your question. Thanks for watching!

I just spent 2 days using the ceramic polish and top with Collinite 845 on a Mspeed3 and Jeep. I am anxious to see results for a year. If I garage my cars, it better lasts more than a year!
We think you’ll definitely get 1+ year out of that combo being garaged. We have never used Collinite 845, but have a quick question for you. Did you get the haze on the vehicle a few days after applying? Have read that happens and to resist removing it until you wash the vehicle. Just curious😁 Thanks for watching!
@@PureOctaneGarage Did not see any haze. I spray mist with water after polishing and wiped any off. I believe water activates it. Waited 1 day before buffing with wax.
We pulled this from Turtle Wax’s Q&A: “ TWCarCareExpert · 6 days ago You do not need to throw your towels or pads away! You can wash and use them again. For microfibers, you can wash by hand with warm water and a de-greasing dish soap! We have been reusing our microfibers after washing with All Free & Clear. Love to see your ride!

What is the difference from turtle ceramic 3 in 1
The ability to apply this in direct sunlight is huge, because some people don't have a garage or carport for shade. This is especially great for anyone living in an apartment complex whose looking to give their car a fantastic shine with great paint protection!
Agree! There are not many products that allow application in direct sunlight. Even less that give such great results!
Thanks for watching!
i used this product inside my garage and yes you do need 100% to go over with a Lightly wet microfibre towel, distilled water wold be best for the towel for best results
It's nice to know we are not the only ones! Excellent tip on the distilled water. Thank you for watching!
@@PureOctaneGarage yeah...def use the distiiled h2o.
I used it last night after a 2 day process of detailing my truck. It spreads real easy and comes off easy. I kept wanting to drink it because it smells like an energy drink

@@andychang8031 No, I just let it sit overnight in the polebarn. If I drove it around after the first coat I would have definitely washed it first. Good luck!

I just clay bar my wife’s car and then applied this stuff. Wow it makes it slick as glass! So far so good!
The slickness is amazing. If you want to really add some longevity to your finish, add a second coat 24 hours after you applied the 1st. Thanks for watching!
Same here. Looks great. Easy on and off.

I didn't do the damp wipe down and got perfect results. second coat tonite
@@michaelwas8549Hey Michael, glad this product is working for you! I've got a coat of polish and 3 coats.of spray ceramic on my GTI and my wife's Mazda 3 touring sedan. Do yourself a favor and take less than 10 minutes to use a distilled water damped cloth to go over your ride - then a polish towel wipe down. You'll be glad you did. It's just a couple of minutes but will def enhance the gloss. This stuff needs to be worked a bit but rewards are astounding.
Really appreciate all the info on these products. Gotta say though i felt like doctor strange and the incredible hulk was giving the tutorial!! Cant wait to try these products out for sure!!
Super hydrophobic, I applied this to my 4C and now it's afraid of the rain. This stuff is so easy to apply it's going to put you guys out of business.
Love that quote,”it’s afraid of the rain” Great to hear you have great results. Really is amazing stuff!
Gentlemen, I have used this product, TW Hybrid Ceramic Coating, on both of my cars, and have found this product, as well as all of the TW Hybrid Solutions, excellent. How I used it? After properly preparing my cars for polishing/waxing, and after 2 coats of TW Hybrid Solution Polish/wax, then I applied 2 coats of TW Ceramic Coating, waiting 24 hours between coats. After 6 months of applying the initial coats, I have applied a third coat, and it seems like i just waxed it! Amazing! I have used all of the TW Hybrid Solutions products, and would recommend all of them. Because of the costs, I usually use ONR, once a week, because of our harsh winters here in the midwest. I highly recommend the TW Hybrid Solutions line of products, as long as your car is properly prepared.
Thank you for sharing your process when using the TWHS Ceramic Spray. We agree, proper preparation is key. It's pretty amazing how durable the product is, we've conducted some torture tests (none scientific) and it holds up very well against some harsh conditions. Thanks again for watching and commenting. :)
I am glad to see that I wasn’t the only one who had trouble applying it. You definitely need a damp microfiber or you get streaking!
We do tend to need the damp microfiber with most Turtle Wax Sealant and Ceramic products. Thanks for the comment and checking out our video!
They use a “damp” microfibre cloth. Not a damn microfibre cloth. 🤦🏾♂️
@@HarikrishnandIceman corrected!
Damp microfibre cloth with water or turtle wax?
Totally fantastic product.... guys.... one suggestion for you.... do not flip your application rag from the wet side to the dry side until AFTER you cross hatch the product. Work the product in with the wet side of the application rag. This stuff really works beyond well.
I used 2 coats of turtle ceramic and I have not touched my black jeep in 2 years, now I am in Melbourne Australia and I used it in full afternoon sun If I remember we were having high 30s° of heat wave. To date I have not applied anything else dirt and water just slides of the paint work. I don't know if it's because I look after my JEEP been black I am bit of a fuss pot on my JEEP so far I am pleased that a product does what it says it does yet cheaper then Migures and works better then the expensive products. I actually love I bought 2 more spray bottles to keep in my tool box in case I cannot get any when I need it, I have it in my tool box. It feels soft slippery I am very happy as we have very hot days in Australia last few years has been getting over 43°c and 45°c very very happy with Turtle ceramic best to wait over night for best results.
Did you use water in its application or just the spray?
They still suggest using in the shade, but if you wait until closer to sundown or earlier in the morning, it works just as well.
This stuff is amazing. Did two costs and after hard rains I have no water spots and still looks great.
That’s great to hear! It is a really fantastic product! Thanks for checking out our video!
This is a great product, but if you want the ultimate in gloss and longevity, there is no substitute for Fusso Soft 99. I managed to get 18 months of protection with it on my wife’s black Mazda Tribute, and that includes driving every day in nasty Chicago winters.
That is amazing getting 18 months on a daily driven vehicle (and through the rough winter months)! We are not familiar with Fusso products. Definitely will be checking out Fusso Soft 99 now. Thank you for the recommendation and we appreciate you checking out the channel!
I live just off the Gulf of Mexico and in June of 2021, it's in the upper 80's and 90's. I have no shade. Heat index of 105 or more. The metal is cannot be touched it's so hot. I have no choice but to use this product in direct sunlight. I am also disabled so I looked at it's ease of use when choosing Turtlewax Hybrid products. So I guess we'll just have to see if it's as good as it claims. So far, it's the easiest to use. I hope it works out! :)
Hi Thomas. Hope the Turtle Wax is still holding up for you. That is definitely some tough conditions to detail with. The ease of use is extremely beneficial in these situations. Thanks for watching!
Waiting to see the results ☺️
How about applying it at dusk/twilight
Great video guys i,ve yet to start using this great brand and im confident about it cos my wife works where they ship it from here in the UK !! So i will update you on the complete process!
Love to hear your results Gary. We think you'll be happy with Turtle Wax. Thank you for the kind words and watching!
I tried this stuff (hard shell paste by hand at age 60 is very difficult doing 2 cars) and had problems with this stuff and threw it away, then used the old hard shell paste I've used for 40 years. This is what I did wrong. Step 1 - spray. Step 2 - spread it around with first microfiber cloth. Step 3 - buff with second clean microfiber cloth. At what point do I use the third "damp" microfiber cloth everyone says I need but isn't in the directions?? Thanks for your help. I really need an easier way for an older man to wax his and his Wife's cars.
I just wish when you guys make these kind of videos and I'm talking about every do-it-yourself video that's on RUclips that you show people how to do things right. first of all no disrespect but you'll use one microfiber towel to apply the product you'll use a second one to remove it that's why you were getting streaking because the towel that you use to apply the product was still wet from the product whether you turn it over or not never use the same towel to apply the product as you would to remove it this is how you keep everything moving clean and streamlined. Also it's wise to spray the product directly on the microfiber towel so you don't get overspray because that overspray will get on to the glass and other parts and dry and that's not good because these products drive very quickly that's why you do very small sections at a time. Thanks for the video and by the way I've been an automotive detailer and restore in the industry for over 32 years.
I give you good advice and you will see the difference
Thanks for constructive criticism. It might not have been apparent, but we did use a fresh microfiber towel during the speed up portions of the video. We were getting the streaking immediately after application. Turtle Wax even calls it out on their bottle, so it is not a surprise to us. We have recently started using a microfiber applicator and that does work a lot better than spraying directly on the panel. Appreciate you watching!
Nothing has made my 9 yr old bmw m sport Carbon Black Metallic paint look soo deep wet and deep black with a super glass shine as easy as spray it, spread it evenly, wait 2 minutes and wipe and be amazed! This Turtle wax ceramic is so highly recommend for all black cars ...
Great to hear how well it is working for you. Definitely an amazing product and value! Have you seen the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Acrylic Black Wax spray? Great product as well! Thanks for watching!
Thanks, just bought that for my total black Merc. I will give it a try tomorrow!
@@Asimicrete try their Black Ceramic Line. It has been amazing for an old black Passat that i use as a spare daily driver.
It's a little bit finicky in sunlight just tougher to wipe up than a regular spray wax but not as hard as a real coating. Still a good idea to use in a garage or shaded area.
We 100% agree with you that it is a bit finicky in the sun. Always seems easier to do everything detail related in the shade. Thanks for watching!
Amazon ships tons of stuff in bubble mailers that have no business being in one. They might even just stick a shipping label to an item's retail box, like a PC liquid cooling radiator. Inside the box is like one layer of bubble protecting the fins from damage. Yes, many get damaged when they do this.
Right!!! We hope they are learning from these situations. Astonishing some of they way things get shipped. Thanks for watching!
I don’t think you put on enough is why it’s streaking. Directions say 2 sprays per panel, and spread over a 2 x 2 area …. 4 sq feet . The hood needs way more than 4 sprays. Directions are misleading, I think they mean a “panel” is actually 4sqft, not a hood, fender, door etc. Also I don’t see why you couldn’t use 1/4 or 1/2 sprays to Taylor to where your applying on the car, that’s who’s I did my new Camry.
the music in the background, I was awaiting Sting or Lex Luger early 90s WCW..
😂 . Thanks for watching!
I appli3d this my vehicle and its wonderful, rain was kust beeding off my panels and windows while driving on the highway. Not a single spot ony car from the rain either.
New to all of the different detail wax and ceramic sprays. It seems they all streak a little. Dont mind it to much, if it is easy to remove them
Product works great. I apply in the garage, but also get streaking on the hood due to the size of the panel. I'll try the damp microfiber next time.
We definitely think the damp microfiber will help you out. We tend to get some streaking with all the Turtle Wax SiO2 products, but they have great gloss and longevity. Thank you for watching!
You might also apply a light mist of distilled water with a spray bottle and wipe.
Thanks for the info! I applied this, and the second coat the next day, and it looks great. I've never done my own detailing, but the car was ready with paint corrected, etc, because I had some work done by a detailer earlier in the month. What do I have to do for future coatings in the 6-12 months? Do I have to somehow strip it away and start over with clay/polish/etc? Or do I just wash, dry and reapply every couple months for good? I didn't buy the Hybrid solutions Ceramic Wash & Wax, but I could if that's the "system."
I just ordered it from amazon, $13. We’ll see sometime next week.
Let us know what you think. We think you’ll love it!
Thanks for checking out our video!
Pure Octane Garage for sure.
So cheap compared to Meguairs and Bowden etc
Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you. Appreciate you watching!
Did two coats on my Gladiator. Amazingly slick.
Glad to hear the good results. The slickness is insane! Thanks for watching!
If you do the second coat 24 hours after the first do you have to rewash the entire vehicle even if it just say in a garage?
The guy on the right looks like the actor that interpreted the Hulk 👌🏻😉
Hello. Yes, we always recommend polishing the paint first to get it to your level of satisfaction. Then make sure to use a prep spray/wipedown to have beautiful bare clearcoat waiting for Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating!
Thanks for watching.
I don't use it on direct sun light, no matter what. They Say it lasts over 12 momths after applying the second coat, but I don't belive that, I apply it every four months because it's easy and cheap.
This is a great product. Maybe even the best you can get off the shelf……..but why are people buying it off Amazon? Is it not cheaper at CT?
Am I wrong? Just wondering…
Thank you for the super content guys! Had all the answers i was looking for. I have one question though. My new car is arriving in a week, what process i should be using to apply the ceramic spray. Please help!
Can we use this spray without use of polish and wax prior to applying this?
Yes, just clean.
Hi, thanks for the video, nice information. Do you know if I should wax before or after applying the coating?
no
Many good information about the product, thanks a lot, but how often we are suppose to use this product?
thanks in advance!
Thanks for the question Giorgos. We would recommend using this for the initial 2 coats only (waiting 24 hours in between) and then maintaining with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Wet Wax or Ceramic Detailer. Any more use of Hybrid Solution Ceramic Spray Coating might create a buildup. Thanks for watching!
The ceramic polish is really necessary or we home users can use it directly after wash?
Definitely can use it right after a wash, but for best longevity and brilliance/look a clay and polish will really make your paint pop and feel like glass! Thanks for watching!
@@PureOctaneGarage polishing gives me the chills :D thank you for taking the time to answer
Thanks great video! So I am clear use clay bar, then the polish/wax, then the ceramic coating for 2 coats?
Thank you...very informative guys.
You’re welcome! We appreciate you checking out our channel!
I have the ceramic wax and dry I’m going to buy the ceramic spray which one should I use first or can I use them together I mean please help I’m not a pro with cleaners and cleaning car
Hi Derek. You have a great combo there. After giving your vehicle a good wash with a gentle car shampoo, use Ceramic Spray Coating as your base layer of protection. (Just follow the directions on the bottle😁)
After future washes, use the Hybrid Solutions Wax N Dry each time to extend protection and add a pop of gloss!
Good luck and thanks for watching!
Pure Octane Garage thanks for the reply means a lot!!
Anytime! Enjoy the detailing!
I'm planning to buy this product and use it. How do I maintain it and what are the things I should consider while washing my car.
Love from india.❤️
Hello. Definitely give your vehicle a monthly wash, use a good ph neutral car shampoo and we like to use the 2 bucket method (wash bucket and rinse bucket). Of course a different set of tools and bucket for the wheels too.
After that, to preserve the coating's health, we recommend using a product like Turtle Wax Ceramic Detailer or the new Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro Flex Wax with Graphene.
Hope that helps. Take care and thank you for watching!
If I understand it correctly, you can get by with JUST this ceramic spray. The other products you are showing are just to make it prettier and/or extend the longevity of the ceramic spray... correct?
I'm trying out this product this week but have many layers of spray wax on my car...hopefully it still works just as well...nice video!!
Hi John!
Let us know how it goes. We would recommend to clay the surface and wipe with a Surface prep/alcohol solution before applying the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. This ensures the best adhesion of the product!
Thank you for watching. Good luck! It’s a fantastic product.
@@PureOctaneGarage The paint is still "new-ish". It's on a 2020 Camaro SS that's never been rained on and babied since the day I got it...haha
I kind of want to try this product without stripping the current wax layers and see how this TW behaves....it might be a good video for my channel.
I'll get back to you guys and let you know what happens.
Nice review guys. 😊
Thanks...great job guys!
You’re welcome! Thanks for checking us out!
The instructions says to do a 2nd coat for 12 months of protection, but it doesn't give and time frame between coats. You see any problem waiting a week?
You are right. We would wait a minimum of 24 hours to allow the first coat to cure. You will be fine waiting a week, just make sure to give your vehicle a good wash with a pH balanced car shampoo prior to applying the second coat. You are going to love the coating! Thanks for watching.
December in Arizona huh. Having lived in Arizona off and on for over 50 years. That means you are in the almost hot as hell season versus the hotter than hell season. Has anyone who's lived in Arizona or currently lives in Arizona can tell you but the last place you want to be on a bright sunny day is anywhere near the hot sheet metal of a car. Unless you're planning on frying an egg on top of it. Don't ask me how I know that.
First tine user love it on my Ram
Great to hear Aaron! Definitely the beat bang for the buck Ceramic Spray for us DIY’ers!
After applying the polish and wax do you need to wash the car again or can you just apply the ceramic spray wax 24 hours later without washing?
Great question Alex. You do not need to wash the car again if it remained clean for the 24 hour cure time with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Polish & Wax. (if it did get dirty or dusty, probably a good idea to wash or waterless wash the vehicle, but use something without protection to do so)Go ahead and apply the Ceramic Spray Coating after the cure time. You will love the results! Thank you for watching!
Did the folks at Turtle wax ever respond to your inquiry regarding UV protection?
Hello mikey. We were told by Turtle Wax that the product does contain UV protection. Thanks for watching!
After having my car fully resprayed how long should I wait before applying the turtle wax ceramic spray?
Hi Carlynn. Great question. Typically you would want to wait 60-90 days after a fresh repaint. This will allow the paint to fully cure. Also, double check this with the body shop/painter that is repainting your vehicle. Thanks for watching!
Should you wash, clay bar, polish then spray this on??
Or can i just wash my car then spray this ceramic spray on ?
Also can i use this over the top on a standard wax as a extra protection? That’s what i want mostly, extra protection as i work in a industrial area, has cement place close by and fertiliser
New subscriber
I'll try this" 👌😁
Let you know how it turns out
Welcome to the channel. We think you'll really like Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray. Looking forward to your results. Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for the video. I clay barred first. I have sprayed two coats of the ceramic spray and after cleaning with hybrid solutions 3in 1 detailer, I still feel something on the paint. I also had to scrub hard with the detailer to get some spots off probably from a tree. I don't know what I did wrong.
You might have to use a more aggressive clay bar, (medium grade)but beware, you will need to polish your paint after this due to light marring from the more aggressive clay. Sounds like you did do everything correct otherwise. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
@@PureOctaneGarage thanks
Thank you for testing it on a black box!!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
I’ve always been a nu finish user because of how long it lasts, but thinking of trying this product out. Would there be any benefit to applying the nu finish before the Hybrid Solutions, or would that affect the way it bonds with the paint?
It would affect the bond of the Ceramic Spray Coating to have any other wax or sealant on the paint before applying. Though, you would be fine to place a wax or Sealant on top of the Ceramic Spray coating.
Great question and thanks for watching!
I've always used nu-finish and always been more than happy with the longevity. Usually 6 months or longer. My car (that I just traded in) had some pretty bad water spot etching into the clear coat. I’ve heard that nu-finish changed the formula and it’s not as good. On my new suv I’ve tried the turtle wax ceramic.. went on and buffed much easier than the nu-finish. Shine is incredible. If it lasts thru the winter I will be a permanent convert. Time will tell.
@@MrHitthespot Since I wrote this comment I actually started using it on both my wife's car and my truck. Very pleased with it so far! Did two coats on her car and one on my truck. Both have received a few washes and I can't complain. Interested to see how it will do over winter.
@@PureOctaneGarage Tested the Hybrid Solutions over the winter and it was a little disappointing. Did ok, but didn't last more than a few weeks once the salt hit the roads. The Nu Finish while not as good as it was is still beading when the vehicle is wet. I'm wondering... has anyone tested the ceramic coating and with a layer of Nu Finish put on over top? The shine from the Ceramic is superior, but the Nu finish lasts longer. Wondering if I could get the best of both worlds by using the two together?
Does the streaking go away on its own after a while if you leave it, or do you have to buff it until its gone?
Hi Petar D. The streaking must be knocked down with a damp microfiber cloth. If not, it will remain. Thanks for watching!
When you layer for the second time, do you wash the car again and apply it or just apply it after waiting 24 hours to cure it??
Thanks in advance
Hi Mike. You can apply the second coat either way. We tend to wait until our next wash and apply the subsequent coat at that time. Thanks for watching!
Pure Octane Garage -thanks again. Is this the correct steps then, first good wash, clay, apply the turtle hybrid polish and wax and use the turtle hybrid ceramic spray?
Use the turtle hybrid 3 in 1 in between washes or use it after each wash to maintain the protection?
I have not waxed my wife’s car in over a year but the car was kept in garage when it was parked.
Mike Lee I would not apply polish and wax before ceramic. You don’t want a wax on the paint before putting ceramic on it
Always always wash your car before applying any ceramic coating why would you apply a sealant such as a ceramic coating over car that might be dirty or have dust on it you will seal that crap right back in there. I'm shaking my head with these two guys doing this video it's hard to sit here and watch two people giving awful information and the way they applied the product and took it off look like two guys from their Three stooges. I've been doing this for 32 years and I just shake my head sometimes when I see this shit
Very great stuff and it last
I tried this, it is a very good product.
Glad to hear you are having great results with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions. Thank you for watching!
I'm thinking about buying this but I had one question, I hope you guys can answer it. I live at a place where there's lots of dust and I don't have a closed garage to keep my car in. So can I do the first layer and then keep my car covered with a car cover for 24 hrs for curing before applying the second coat?
Hi Gaurav.
We think you’ll be fine using the car cover to keep the vehicle protected while waiting for the cure of Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. While not the best case scenario, you are keeping the dust level down. Just get that 2nd layer on as soon as you can! (Might need to lightly dust the vehicle before applying)
Let us know how it goes. Take care and thanks for the question!
@@PureOctaneGarage Thanks for the quick reply guys. I'll buy the product as soon as possible and will give you an update on how it went.
I'm willing to try this product on my car and my teardrop trailer. Would it be okay to apply this ceramic coat on top of fibreglass/gel coat?
You prefer Turtle seal&shine or Ceramic spray?
We like the Ceramic...but you can't go wrong with either choice! Thanks for watching!
How long does this last? I am seeing mixed reviews where people are saying it can’t protect more than 2-4 weeks. Is it better to go with liquid wax than this?
With proper prep to the paint, we have seen about a year. A lot of results depend on enviromental conditons exposed to and prep work. The liquid Ceramic waxes are still in testing for us, but so far Adam's Liquid Graphene Wax has held up for 7 months on a lightly driven vehicle. We also have Turtle Wax Graphene Paste Wax that was just applied to a new vehicle a month ago. We'll post an update on those shortly. Thanks for watching!
Which is better? Tw hybrid ceramic spray coating or Tw hybrid ceramic wet wax?
The Spray Coating will last a lot longer, you can top the coating with the Wet Wax if you’d like. Thanks!
@Pure Octane Garage Thanks friend.
I heard that tw graphene paste wax gives superior shine? Is it true?
I have now tried Turtle Ceramic Spray... But i dont know if i did wrong in "cleaning" the car-paint right before with (Sonax Xtreme Cleaner+Wax)... do you think the wax makes the Ceramic spray less able to stick or be efficient ?
Hi Bjarni. We definitely think that is what you ran into. The wax in the Sonax Xtreme added a small layer of protection. In our experiences, these ceramics and
SiO2 sealants really like a bare paint surface to adhere to. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news there. Since it didn't adhere as intended, we bet a good strip car wash with a coating prep wipe will easily remove it and let you attempt again when you are ready to detail next.
What if I sprayed too much? Will it damage the paint? What will happen? First time user of this product.
Can ICE Spray Wax be used on top of the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating? Would it give it better protection?
You definitely can use Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax on top of the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. (you can also top Ceramic Spray Coating with Ice SealNShine for even more durability) The Ice Spray Wax is a similar product to the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wet Wax that works in the same manner.
Thanks for the question and watching!
After applying this for regular maintenance Should i use MEGUIAR'S G19216 Ultimate Polish after wash? how to maintain futher apllying this spray
What wash would you guys use to prep the car for the polish/wax and ceremic coating spray.
Adam’s Polishes has Strip Wash that will prepare the vehicle surface for you. Another is McKee’s 37 Coating Prep Auto Wash. Hope that helps out. Have fun coating and thank you for watching!
Should have used strip wash or clean slate to get rid of everything first then apply it. It needs to bond
Hi love 🐢 wax products. Can you over coat with that coating?
We love the Turtle too. You can definitely layer the coating. Be sure to allow for the cure 24 hours before adding another layer. Thanks for watching!
I am sorry, I couldnt hear properly.. But why is the damp microfiber cloth needed?
Fast forward a few months and, well it's partial lock down here in Ireland. So I decided to purchase the full Turtle Wax Ceramic product range and spend a few hours on my 2018 Audi RS3 in Panther Black, crystal effect which has a ceramic coating already applied.
Anyway I washed my car on Sunday with the Turtle Wax shampoo and dried off the car thoroughly. I then applied the Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray with one microfiber cloth and buffed off with a second clean cloth. I noticed that the paint looked slightly dull, almost like you could see oxidation on the paint surface.
It seems to have cures OK and looks fine now.
Have you encountered anything like this at all or is this a fool proof application? Also in an ideal world would you recommend a second application to get a better result and a longer lasting coating?
Yes, we have experienced a similar result. We noticed a streaking or haze, that was more noticeable on a dark color. We could reduce the streaking/hazing by wiping gently over the surface with a damp microfiber. After being on the surface for several days the streaking seemed to be gone. Yes, according to Turtle Wax, applying a second coat will extend its protection up to 12 months. Thank you for watching. :)
Pure Octane Garage I’ll try this at the weekend, second coat. Not sure if I should have waxed the first time instead of going directly to the Spray, what do you think?
Also it’s about 12 to 16 degrees here.
When applying any durable ceramic spray coating, like Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating the surface should be properly prepped for best bonding and results. This may vary slightly depending on the vehicle’s finish condition. The steps we follow before applying any ceramic spray coating are as follows. A thorough wash, and dry, clay bar the surface, then if needed a machine polish, finally a wipe down with a 50/50 IPA/water mixture or other safe surface prep to remove any polish residue. At that point, the surface is clean and ready for protection from your coating of choice. You always want your base protection to be the strongest form of protection, for example, ceramic sprays are more durable and stronger than traditional wax, so the base layer should be the ceramic spray. You can then maintain the coating with products like TWHS Ceramic 3in1 Detailer, TWHS Ceramic Wash & Wax and TWHS Ceramic Wet Wax as a drying aid. Using these other products is not required but it may help extend protection.
With the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions products we noticed less streaking with warmer temperatures, around 21 degrees or warmer, just our observation. But 12-16 degrees should be fine,. In our opinion, we would avoid using spray protection products when it's cooler than 10 degrees.
Hope this helps. :)
Sounds like you probably applied too much. It really only takes 1 squirt per 2’x2’ section. Keep changing out the wipe off towel as it gets wet and isn’t functioning properly.
Pure Octane Garag
Octane does not offer any better fuel mileage, increase engine horsepower, or make the engine start quicker. Higher octane only reduces the likelihood of engine knock or ping. ... Because higher octane gas burns slower, it is more resistant to knock when subjected to higher RPM and cylinder pressures.
That's a good name for your channel,
👍
can I apply this on top of my new car’s existing nano ceramic coating?do I need to polish/wax before applying this TW product
Hi Jhef. Yes, you can apply this on top of a ceramic coating. Just make sure the surface is freshly washed/dried and be sure to give it the 24hr cure time after applying. Thanks for watching!
I used the spray coating this evening, after a full polish using the ceramic polish and wax. (24 hr previous). I followed the instructions closely, but didn't get great results. The product is very hard to buff off, leaving smears and dark patches. I don't get it. Two sprays per panel, work it around with a microfibre, then buff with a dry and clean microfiber. It just doesn't want to come off. I don't get it, is this the same product?
Dang! That is always disappointing when putting all the effort into your vehicle's finish. We have run into the streaks/smears with Turtle Wax products. If you haven't tried it, dampen a microfiber polishing cloth with water and go over any streaks. That has worked for us to knock down high spots. If that doesn't work, reach out to Turtle Wax via the link below. They are very good about addressing questions and concerns. Let us know your final results. thank you for checking out the channel!

@@PureOctaneGarage thanks!! A damp microfiber sorted it out. I think this was due to the polish already laying down some coating, so this was a bit like a second coat and there was excess?
Great video! Thumbs up! 👍
Do you know the percentage of SiO2 in the product?
PS. What do you think about the *Hybrid Solutions PRO* series and their *GRAPHENE infused FLEX WAX* product?
Hi Boyan. We checked and were not able to come up with the % of SiO2 contained in this product. You can definitely use the Pro series in tandem with this. We reviewed the Hybrid Solutions Pro Line a little while back. (New testing ideas) Thank you!
I find that this product streaks a bit too much. Shines really well though.
Hi Ray. It does streak a bit sometimes for us. Having a damp microfiber handy really is necessary. Thank you for watching!
@Pure Octane Garage
Got it!
Thank you for your reply.
Looking forward to more videos!
Try spraying a little less product next time, a little goes along way.
@Boulder Bob
Thanks for the tip!
I will use less next time.
My car had Cquartz applied 7 yrs ago and I've bee using Reload to maintain it also a Carpro product. Now it's not what it once was and I would like to try something like the Turtle wax ceramic. Do I need to do anything special before using the Turtle wax product, can I clay bar the car as is then start with the TW ceramic? Wasn't sure if I needed to strip wash the car with anything first. Any suggestions will me much appreciated.
Thanks for the question. We would recommend a strip car wash, clay bar or mitt treatment, compound & polish, and finally a surface prep wipe down (usually a isopropyl alcohol mix). After these steps you will have a clean and prepped surface to start fresh with your Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray Coating. Don’t forget to do a second Spray Coat 24 hrs later to get about 1 year of longevity!
Thanks for checking out the channel!
Whats with my spots if i dont dry it? Shouldn't it all slide off. My McGuire does is it
Spots will always be an issue if the surface is not dried off. They will definitely be easier to remove if you have protection on the surface. If you do get spotting, it will be on the coating versus on your vehicle's clearcoat /paint. Hope that helps answer your question. Thanks for watching!
Where to buy the microfiber towels? Everyone one I use it scratches my Chevy soft black paint.
We grab our from The Rag Company. The Eagle Edgeless 500 have always been nice to our paint. Here is a link...theragcompany.com/products/eagle-edgeless-500?_pos=3&_sid=1b725d23f&_ss=r

I just spent 2 days using the ceramic polish and top with Collinite 845 on a Mspeed3 and Jeep. I am anxious to see results for a year. If I garage my cars, it better lasts more than a year!
We think you’ll definitely get 1+ year out of that combo being garaged.
We have never used Collinite 845, but have a quick question for you. Did you get the haze on the vehicle a few days after applying? Have read that happens and to resist removing it until you wash the vehicle. Just curious😁
Thanks for watching!
@@PureOctaneGarage Did not see any haze. I spray mist with water after polishing and wiped any off. I believe water activates it. Waited 1 day before buffing with wax.
Thanks for the update! Glad to hear you have great results.
can this be applied to an existing ceramic coating like igl coating / kenzo? to act like a sacrificial layer
Great question. Yes, you can apply this on top of a ceramic coating to protect it that initial coating. Thanks for watching!
Hi guys, what product dou you recomend to protect UV ray ?
This spray coating from Turtle Wax will protect from UV. We were able to have Turtle Wax address that question directly. Thanks for watching!
How much do you think I apply if I’m applying to my Kawasaki motorcycle?
One coat will be great, but can't go wrong with two coats on the Kawasaki! Thanks for watching
any idea if you have to discard the microfiber towel after application or can it be thrown in wash and re-used?
We pulled this from Turtle Wax’s Q&A: “ TWCarCareExpert

You do not need to throw your towels or pads away! You can wash and use them again. For microfibers, you can wash by hand with warm water and a de-greasing dish soap!
We have been reusing our microfibers after washing with All Free & Clear.
Love to see your ride! You have a GT350R, right? Thanks for watching!
@@PureOctaneGarage yeah i thought i had read that about reusing and simply washing. thx. and yes i have a gt350r in black with black/red stripes. stay well.
Good day, this hybrid ceramic spray coating can be apply or use to a ceramic coated vehicle? Thanks
Hi Shane73. Yes, you can apply it as a topper to a Ceramic coated vehicle. It will rejuvenate and extend the longevity of the coating. Great question and thanks for watching.
@@PureOctaneGarage thank you
@@PureOctaneGarage After 24hrs curing time, I need to wash the car for the second (2) coat application of Hybrid ceramic spray?
Anyone know how this differs from the hydrophobic wax? Ive used that for ages with good results and never any streaks.
This is a ceramic sealant. In theory, it should way outlast a wax. About12 months longevity when properly maintained. Thanks for the question.
Man there is NO beading action from the Polish and wax before you applied the ceramic coating
I can't get mine to haze . Looks like its not there
You shouldn't see a haze. Just spread and remove immediately with a secondary microfiber. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
