Both seal n shine and ceramic coating were fully cured for over 48 hours, with the exception of the far right side of the panel where stated instant sure. Will you be picking up the new hybrid solutions ceramic spray coating?
Hey Jimbo, on my car parked outside in the elements, it feels like seal and shine breaks up after only a couple of weeks. Has this been your experience? I'm not sure if it's the UV's....I'd be very interested in seeing a test after 2 weeks of both products under the sun.
no....jury is still out. I am glad I didn't pull the trigger yet via amazon on this hybrid line....so far it definitely has not lived up to the hype. waiting for brian(apex detail's review) he can measure gloss enhancement. I use U, BRIAN, FORENSIC, FAB, PAN and others to get a good perspective.... I tinker now that I am retired....correct that...brian has turned me into a product junkie..lol.. Jason at Chi Auto Pro's did both of my jag vanden plas...05 liquid silver and 07 cranberry mica...a few yrs ago and I have been bit by the detail bug ever since....look forward to your videos....well done. hope u will consider the test I mention in comments
Great video! Something to note - the Seal n Shine technically had two coats per its directions, whereas the Ceramic version would need a coat, 24 hr cure time, then another coat, then another 24 hrs to have the same number of applications. It could be argued that this test was two coats of Seal n Shine vs one of Ceramic. There are pros and cons to that, I guess.
Here’s my recent review. I purchased this last year in June while at the auto parts store getting products to do a last minute detail on my mustang before autocross and car show on father’s day weekend. I did not properly apply because I was in a rush and I can tell you that wash was the last time I washed it until last week when it was time to bring it back out. Car sat in the elements the entire time as well as a few drives during the winter when the roads were clear enough. As I was washing the car I was confused as to why the water was beading so much and I had completely spaced that I used this hybrid ceramic spray that day last June. Bought the product as an “eh why not” and now it’s all I’ll ever use. Quick and is as well as offers great protection especially if properly applied. 10/10 - weekend warrior detailer
I have used both TW products and very pleased with both of them. Seal and Shine came out before the ceramic coating and I was very pleased with how it worked on my truck. Granted the scent of Seal and Shine was not the best, reminded me of a hair product but it worked very well. Then I tried the ceramic spray coating and I kind of liked it better for the ease of application and the shine it left. In fact, I did a second coating the next day and I was blown away by the shine that it leaves on my truck. It really catches my eye when I go into the garage and look at my truck. I swear its glossier and has a wet look that lasts longer than I expect. Hands down for me, ceramic coating spray is the better of the two. Durability is a toss up between the two, they are both good, maybe it comes down to price of each product.
I haven't had streaking issues at all when using the seal and shine also. Im curious how to get it to streak, meaning is using it in a wrong way create the streaks. Im sorry not trying to have go at Jimbo at all.
@@jhndijkman it can streak in hot places i.e. deserts, tropics. But its easily fixeable. just add a few drops of water onto the paint. seal and shine doesnt really bond to paint so it doesnt matter.
Thanks Jimbo, Seal and Shine for me all day long. I use it on my black car and it works great. I don’t think the new stuff is any better and plus u have to wait 24 hours for cure time. Seal and Shine Wins !
Hello thank you for your comments and work I have used turtle ceramic spray coating twice and then I went over the top with seal and shine very impressed with the results thank you from sussie fan cheers
After using both products extensively I can tell you one thing, the Turtle Wax Ceramic spray coating has way higher gloss and shine. And even more durability than seal & shine. Or at least the same. The self-cleaning properties in the Ceramic spray coating keep the vehicle much cleaner than the seal & shine when it's raining or snowing.
Well here's my $. 02 from a light color car owner... I have 2 Mineral White Bimmers and have very little streaking that quite honestly would be invisible to most. So I consider "streaking" a non issue. The smell isn't fruity but it ain't funky either. ICE Seal n Shine is simply the Best performance value in car detailing, period! I did pre-order 2 products from their new line just to try/compare. 👍🏽 Great job as usual.
I have a black car , I dont notice streaking either with seal n shine. I think the more we compliment seal n shine, TW may raise the price Again!.... so we might need to quiet down
That was fun to watch man! Man they are so close...I almost think the seal and shine is a taaaaad, dare I say stronger!? So tough to call on this one. Can't wait to get my own tests going!!
Turtle Wax said that Ceramic Spray Coating sees it's best durability when you apply 2 coats, 24 hours apart, with another 24 hours of cure (no soap) after that. I would like to see that tested against Seal N shine, with Both being given the 24 hour re-coat and another 24 hour cure.
LOL. My video wasn't meant to be the full 24h hour curing time, hence why I mentioned it in the video. But man did some people become so emotional about it... It's just a spray on paint protectant (that is very good by the way, and that I even like a bit more than Seal N Shine in the end) so let's not get too caught up here...
@@PanTheOrganizer It’s still a good comparison that you did Paaaaaan The Jimboniser 😜😃. What I do like and has become clear, is the 24hr cure time, you can still use the vehicle even if it rains. I’m still very keen on getting it though. It’s been emotional Pan 😊😃
I’ve used both and I enjoy the better smelling ceramic . And because of your videos , I’ve began to use turtle wax products again . I’ve been a chemical guys and Adams fan boy for years . But I’m tired of paying shipping when I can go straight to the auto parts store and buy . Thank you for all your detailing content .
I had preordered a bottle of the ceramic after I was so impressed over the past 4 months or so with the Seal and Shine. I canceled the preorder after seeing three tests like yours that didn’t show an improvement and even appeared that the ceramic wasn’t as durable. I’ll stick with the Seal and Shine for my quick, easy, inexpensive paint protection.
Love Seal and Shine, but already had pre-ordered the ceramic spray as well. The streaking sucks, but I found rotating constant dry towels helped some. I found that if I pushed to finish a panel, and there was a buildup already, it streaked more than when I just kept grabbing dry ones.
I've been spraying a couple pumps of Seal and Shine onto a small foam pad, then wiping down one panel at a time. Good results, less product used and no streaking.
Im going to use both, the seal n shine is better in my opinion and the whole ice line up but for some customers i cant bring the car inside or shaded anywhere and thats where hybrids will be better so i think ice line will be for indoor and hybrid for out doors
Great review, looks like I'll be sticking with the Seal N' Shine. For future reference, a single camera angle was better. Constantly switching between the tripod, and handheld, and the head cam was kind of jarring.
I love Seal n shin I use it as a drying aid every 2-2/1/2 weeks after a wash for my 2018 Sierra & my wife’s - 2020 Wrangler just make sure you have a damp microfiber to follow works on WHEELS GLASS TRIMS Etc. the gloss level is excellent
Great video. As a new car owner for the first time in over 15 years, it seems technology has changed a lot. from your video, I'm leaning towards the ceramic coating for ease of use. The snippet about your dad sold me. Forgive me for being nitpicky but I would have liked the exactly cured products placed on the exact opposite quarters of the hood. ie, far left, far right. This way the contours match. Thanks for info and review
Hey, Lien! We wanted to confirm prices! Our Hybrid Solutions is currently just under $16 on Amazon.com, while our ICE Seal N Shine is just under $10. We designed this product to compliment the fan-favorite ICE Seal N Shine and created it to solve some of the detailers’ pain points with SNS. The difference-makers in the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating product include: - Easy on, easy off product application even in direct sunlight & high humidity - amazing results on paint, metal, plastic & glass in minutes - Chemical resistant, but designed for real-world application so it lasts up to 12 months when applied per the directions on the bottle (cure time is important here - AND don’t apply your 2nd coat until after the first coat cured for 24 hours) - Increased depth of paint color, gloss & shine
@@turtlewax So if I want to apply two coats of the Ceramic Spray Coating (BTW I pre-ordered it from Amazon). Do I have to not drive the car between applications? What happens if dust or dirt gets on the car between applications such has going past a guy running a leaf blower, lawn mower, etc. How is this type of situation handled? thanks
@@akj6181 Hey there! Hybrid Solutions is currently also available to purchase on Turtlewax.com for US customers! The product will be hitting retail shelves early 2020.
I can't stop applying Seal N Shine on my car, did the entire car after paint correction and liked the results. Now after every wash I'll re-apply it to a few panels, maybe the roof, hood, trunk lid, doors, bumpers, etc. Seems to layer well, hides deep scratches well to where you have to really look for them up close, correcting those scratches are beyond my abilities and comfort level.
I am a professional car painter for the last 50 years I have used or try to use the ceramic spray on my black Mustang. I didn't particularly care for it. It worked me pretty hard to get the smear removed. I tried to apply at all different kind of ways. It was just really tough to remove it. I like the seal and shine.
I was very excited over the ceramic spray coating but now I'm leaning a little toward seal and shine. Its cheaper, no cure time, no worries over my cloths being hardened by sio2 and I didn't see a significant difference between the two products in this video. One big plus for me is the ceramic spray can be used in direct sunlight. If not for that I wouldn't hesitate to stick with seal and shine.
I've used both. This season was a claybar with a once over with the Hybrid polish with 3 coats of the Hybrid spray wax - proper cure times of course... Absolutely sick. One month since the last coat with the SiO2 - holding up really well with sunglass gloss. Have used S&S over the ceramic as post-wash once over = sick&sick. Double whammy folks...stuff works on my Tornado red GTI. $ value for both is over the top. STREAKING??...I very lightly mist distilled h2o over the affected affected area(s) wipe with your best fluffy...voila! Good luck with whatever u use!!
Thank God someone did it. Pan The Organizer didn't show us the hybrid after a cure. Just immediately started the torture test. Thanks for this video. Waiting on my pre-order from Amazon
I bought seal n shine because of your videos. I do see the streaking on my sterling gray car. I like that it protects. I will have to try the ceramic product. I have so much seal n shine it will prolly last into next year. Thanks for the detail advise and product tests.
I’ve applied Seal N Shine to a few different cars and the only time it got streaky for me was when I was doing it in heat/sunlight. You absolutely cannot use Seal N Shine in the sun or else you will get streaks. It flash-dries on the surface so you literally can’t wipe it off. To fix the streaks, I waited until it cooled off, then reapplied the product on top of the streaky areas and it fixed it.
Seal and Sine is great stuff and that's what I had been using however I've since switched over to the new hybrid line simply because there are a number of products to compliment the ceramic spray such as the wash, the detailer and the wet wax. I just like the idea of having a line of products in the same family that work well together. Still a big fan of Seal and Shine though.....it's all good stuff and you can't go wrong with any of it. Oh, and yes, I do like the smell of the hybrid solution line.
Thanks Jimbo I think both products looks amazing! I’ve protected my car with seal n shine and top with ice spray wax can’t wait to see if it will resist to our long winter with salty roads! Great videos as usual great job!
I was thinking of topping with the Ice Spray Wax, until I saw a video showing results after 1 wash and wasn't impressed. For now I just re-apply Seal N Shine layering it and it's working great.
Mr. Jimbo, I really enjoy both products from Turtle Wax. I used the Hybrid Solution products on my cars, & I used the Seal N Shine on cars that have carnauba wax applied to them. So they have different applications. The Hybrid Solution products were applied about 9 months ago on both of my daily drivers, still have shine & protection. The Seal N Shine I used after I used I applied Meguiars Ultimate Polish & Ultimate Wax. Also used S N S, as a booster, after I used TW Ice Spray Wax. As a non professional, For your viewers, I HIGHLY recommend both products from Turtle Wax. Remember, the key in using any polish or wax, prepare your car properly.
I bought one bottle of seal and shine when it came out. Used it and was very impressed and bought 5 more bottles for $5 each from amazon couple of months ago. Told my coworkers and few of them bought bottle each. Very good product and easy to use and very wallet friendly. Win win
Great video as usual Jimbo. We all really appreciate you testing out these products. I don’t seem to have any streaking issues with the Seal and shine but I do have white cars. It seems to me at this juncture it’s not really worth throwing my seal and shine out. Again thanks for the great reviews.
I just take my time using seal and shine until my 3 bottles gone then hopefully ceramic spray get cheaper with the price I will start buying them for my future use.
Terrific video. Very clear and complete demonstration/explanation. Lighting, audio and video are right on! Great video, Jimbo. Keep it up!!! I just used Ceramic on My Sister’s 2015 Honda Pilot that’s black. I had some streaks. No problem, a damp microfiber took care of that. It took ten minutes or so to complete it. I like it very much. I’ve used it as a topper to a few ceramic coated vehicles. It looks great and lasts a while! Two thumbs up.
I pre-ordered the new Ceramic stuff, BUT after your test I cancelled it and will continue to use Seal and Shine. Orig formula Seal and Shine for the win!!!
Great video. I would say the original Seal and Shine product would still be a "best choice" as a cost effective finish to a simple detailing. The ceramic product appears to work almost as well and might be a best choice for a black car. Keep up the good work.
I've gone for the seal n shine although it's called just sealant here in the UK. In my opinion it seemed to sheet the quickest during your test. 👍 good test thanks for uploading, time to give a try myself.
I pre-ordered the new Hybrid Turtle Wax and I will be using it differently. I use seal and shine as a drying aid when I am in direct sunlight since it was so much cheaper than Sonax BSD. I'll probably do a 50/50 comparison of Hybrid Turtle Wax and seal and shine on my DD RSX as it sits outside during the day. Thank you for always making these informative videos Jimbo!
To comment on a few things. I'd say I want water beading. It is a higher level of hydrophobicity. When a coating or sealant, etc, starts to degrade, it goes from beading to sheeting. So if we're already starting at sheeting, its hydrophobicity isn't as intense as it could be. And another thing, usually when rain water collects on a car, its as if you left distilled water or purified H2O on a panel that mostly doesnt leave any water spots. Since tap or hose water contains all the minerals and agents that we'd consider make up hard water, those agents dry and leave spots on the panel. Thats generally where water spots come from. Other than that cool video man I'm really loving this first person shooter angle. Its really working. Keep up the good work, Jimbo.
i think what he tried to describe with the "water spots" after rain is that even if you celaned your car the day before, there is going to be dust on it, when it rains you get spots where the water picked up the dust and then dried. At least they aren't going to do anything bad to the paint like lime does (i hope that is the right translation for the mineral in most hard tap water)
What does rainwater contain? As a result of this process, rainwater is inherently dirty. It needs that condensation nucleus - that dust, soot, or flake of salt - in order to form and fall. This is precisely why you'll have probably noticed that, from time to time, the rain on your window leaves streaks of dust.
Man this is a tough one but i will say i have a decent stock of S&S and it being a bit more elbow grease to keep the streaks away isn’t an issue for me because when using one towel for application and one for buffing its not that big of a deal, will still be picking up the ceramic coating for some certain areas I’d like to test, great comparison Jimbo Edit: I’d like to emphasize again the fact even turtle wax mentioned on their instagram that if someone just wants a chemical resistant beast that S&S is the go to but the ceramic coating caters to those who just dont wanna put in thr additional elbow grease for buffing off the S&S. Love the fact how they are transparent and arent just trying to upsell
We agree - This is a killer combo! If you are looking for the complete package - from ease of use, to durability to a high-gloss shine, Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating is our pick!
Ice Spray Wax as a ”topper” with Seal and Shine???? Hmmm. Let me try that especially for the winter here in PA. I’ve been using Beadmaker as a ”topper” with S&S and it is killer for 8-9 year months out of the year.
Extremely well done!!! It looked to me like Seal and Shine edged it out at the end but like you and others have commented, they were both so close that it will probably come down to preference based on the pros and cons of each product. Also from a "real world conditions" standpoint the Ceramic Spray when applied with a second coat after the initial 24hr cure time, is SUPPOSED to have more long term durability. Of course time will tell... Aside from that I'm going to definitely pick some up and test it out on my own vehicles.
I use Ice Seal n Shine on my black SL. No streaking, let me repeat that, no streaking problems. Just follow the directions. Easy on, easy off. Gorgeous shine and smoothness.
Just got a bottle of the Ceramic Spray Coating! I am VERY eager to see how it compares to their now legendary ICE Seal & Shine that I've been using for a while...
Jimbo, at first look I have to congratulate you on the lighting you used to record this video. You & the background are no longer in the dark! 👍👍👍. Video looks amazingly high resolution. 🏆🏆🏆
I was getting bad brake dust on my 19 PP1 mustang GT gloss black wheels. Put some seal n shine on em for the hell of it. Night n day. Almost zero brake dust sticking to the wheels. Works soo good
I think the hard tropical sun is the REAL test of durability...far more than the water beading or sheeting. But I like what you're doing; it's valuable too!
I only experienced a little streaking with Seal n Shine on the hood only. The vehicle was at operating temperature after going through a drive thru car wash, I applied Seal n Shine as a drying aid. I attribute the streaking to the latent heat in the hood from the heat of the engine. I was able to eliminate the streaks by applying Collinite 845 to the hood and wiping it away. Not sure how "layerable those two product are but I definitely have good protection. I would like to see a salt grime mixture applied to hood and allowed to sit on the panel for a few days after a proper application of the products, to me that is real world. I am not in hurry to get the Ceramic product I have plenty of Seal n Shine. I really like Seal n Shine.
Love ceiling, shine column, but hate the striking still.... My new favorite thing is the new minute wax For quick detailing.. no streaking, and pops colors hugely.
I'll try it when it comes out-- but Seal n Shine was the winner of the torture test (again). I still have a few bottles and the stuff just lasts forever. So I'll keep using it. After buying enough Ammo product to drain a bank account, Turtle Wax just kills it time after time for under $10 bucks.
love the seal and shine its a winner for me after doing my lava grey audi with it the paintwork just pops and never need to wash it as often as I used to and I look after my car as a car sprayer I need my paintwork to look good at all times, I am sure the ceramic spray is excellent as well but I stick with what I know works been using it for about a year now and only applied the spray twice so no complaints here great product
@@autodetailingpodcast Which one is greater? I bet both are not too shabby :) I ordered the new TW Ceramic and also the car wash as I reached out to them and they said on a black car that has soft clear to combo both. Heck why not try-damn car is brand new and awful. Walk by it and it scratches-lol
After using ICE Spray Wax for about a year, I tried the Ceramic Coating and used a 5-inch microfiber applicator (directions said to use a separate towel as an applicator) and I learned to work in a small area or the product can dry too quickly. After two days cure time, reapplied the Ceramic Coating in cool/cold weather. Two months later, the Hybrid coating still sheds water better than the regular spray wax applied to a different vehicle. IMO: the Spray Wax has Ease-of-Application and the Ceramic Coating has greater durability and it was chosen to apply on the roof of a SUV/Van because its such a PITA to clean and wax the top.
Too bad my driveway detailing has pretty much come to an end here in Wisconsin. I'll be picking it up in the spring. If both products are virtually the same, I give the nod to a better smell. Seal n shine smells bad for sure. Excellent video Jimbo, thanks for the info!!
Same here, over in MN! I actually don't mind the smell of Seal n Shine. I think it was Jimbo, but someone said it smells like his dad/grandpa cologne lol. I have 2 extra bottles of Seal n Shine that I bought at Walmart for $6/bottle, so I'll be waiting for plenty of durability tests before I spend money to replace something that's already a rockstar in my arsenal.
@@Twiztid_Metal. Cheapest price in the UK is £7,50 but you have to buy 2 bottles to get that price. About 6 weeks ago you could buy a bottle from some detailing websites for £6. Now because of the explosion on RUclips and media they are now up to £14 a bottle! Luckily I currently have 5 bottles! 😁🏴
The problem of those companies are they jacked up the price when we consumers start put our trust in their products. Thank God that we have guy like Jimbo and Pan can show us the difference so we don’t break our wallet$
On the ceramic coating, a 24 hour cure is needed between coats too. You put it on too thick imo. Great vid! Can't wait to try it. No such thing as a "wet cure", really, imo. S&S needs no cure. The ceramic coating will wash right off if not cured properly. In conclusion, for my money, I'm Stickin with S&S. Cheaper and more durable. In my use of S&S, I had no problem with the streaking on the paint. However, I did have some streaking on glass. TW tried to one up on S&S but imo just didn't score with the ceramic.
For basic services I use Seal n Shine because the price is outstanding and the average client isn’t going to fully understand the difference or want to pay extra for SiO2 based product. For those that want ceramic like protection but not the level of application needed for professional level ceramic coating I use Gtechniq C2 Liquid Crystal V3(20 dollars on Amazon offers a year of protection).
Wow man, the quality of your videos has really improved. I'd love to see a Cheap vs. Expensive: Turtle Wax Seal n Shine vs. GTechniq C2v3. I use C2v3 all the time and like it, but it is expensive and I often wonder if SnS would be just as good.
Love your videos, just wondering if you've done a video for the "Ultimate" product, I.e. which product lasts the longest, not worrying about application but just the product that is basically apply and forget about for a while?
Now THIS is a proper comparison and torture test! I wish you had let BSD "cure" for a few hours before hitting it the way you did on the other video too! 😉
It's not equally tested as area on the hood, the hood is not flat and it's not even the angle tend to slope any the end then middle if you look at this video
Nice review! POV camera = 5/5 Voice over information on those slow motion parts = 5/5 (nice to see in slow mo what you do and learn how the product reacts) Great choice of products Thanks's!
i live in hawaii and we have micro climate sometimes west of island is sunny while east is pouring. I put a ceramic coat and the next day i drove on a rainy day. parked my truck and saw alot of beads. minutes later sun was out and guess what? all those beads left water spot. you're absolutely right about after water sheeting.
Something that has to be considered here is that like ICE - the new Hybrid Solutions are an entire line of products that compliment each other and likely need to be used together. I have had fantastic results using ICE Speed Compound to prep the paint - then using Seal and Shine - followed up with the ICE Paste Wax - and then the ICE Spray Wax (which I apply after cleaning the car using ICE Wash and Wax). My cars have never looked so good and specifically my Corvettes are so smooth and easy to wash as nothing seems to stick (not even bugs and tar). Water just rolls off the paint and the gloss is amazing. I get asked all the time what products I use and folks sometime seem surprised when I say Turtle Wax ICE. I have good reason to be loyal to the product line... That being said there is an entire new line of Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions that have yet to be tested in tandem with each other. One advantage is that the New Hybrid Spray Wax goes on after a wash while the car is still wet - saving a step since you dry and wax at the same time. If the new Hybrid spray wax works as well as the ICE spray wax does - that it could save time. I am anxious to learn more about / use the entire new line of products before I pass judgement... Here is the ultimate comparison test: ICE Speed Compound - then ICE Seal and Shine - then ICE Spray Wax VS. Hybrid Solutions Polish and Wax - then Hybrid Ceramic Spray Coating - then Hybrid Spray Wax Using the entire line of each will show the true final result - there you go Jimbo - that would be something worth a RUclips episode on your channel!
Great video and just subscribed! I recently picked up a bottle of Seal N Shine and have been very happy with it on my Black Sapphire Metallic BMW. Previously, I was using the original Adams H20 Guard and Gloss. I like the product/performance, but dislike the scent. I actually don't mind the scent of Seal N Shine.
I am still a fan of using paste wax but those products are excellent. I like using the seal and shine while drying the car. I barely get any streaking when I do it with the car being wet. Same thing with the technicians choice they hold up pretty well when you use it like a drying aid. I can't wait to try those new Turtle Wax products after using Meguiars for so many years. As far as paste wax is concerned what do you think of the 3M paste wax it's pretty durable.
Both seal n shine and ceramic coating were fully cured for over 48 hours, with the exception of the far right side of the panel where stated instant sure.
Will you be picking up the new hybrid solutions ceramic spray coating?
Hey Jimbo, on my car parked outside in the elements, it feels like seal and shine breaks up after only a couple of weeks. Has this been your experience? I'm not sure if it's the UV's....I'd be very interested in seeing a test after 2 weeks of both products under the sun.
Hey, i know a company making a sealing product like these how would they get in contact about sending a trial bottle over?

Will you run the Ceramic against TLC v2? I was impressed with TLC v2 in your last test.
I have been using ceramic coating for over a year now and I just love it as it gives ( for me) that silky feel for a longer time.
Great video! Something to note - the Seal n Shine technically had two coats per its directions, whereas the Ceramic version would need a coat, 24 hr cure time, then another coat, then another 24 hrs to have the same number of applications. It could be argued that this test was two coats of Seal n Shine vs one of Ceramic. There are pros and cons to that, I guess.

Then I tried the ceramic spray coating and I kind of liked it better for the ease of application and the shine it left. In fact, I did a second coating the next day and I was blown away by the shine that it leaves on my truck. It really catches my eye when I go into the garage and look at my truck. I swear its glossier and has a wet look that lasts longer than I expect. Hands down for me, ceramic coating spray is the better of the two. Durability is a toss up between the two, they are both good, maybe it comes down to price of each product.
I've never experienced streaking with seal and shine, but never used in direct sunlight. Great stuff

I don't get streaks but I get high spots that wont rub out
Damp rag works great at blending the streaks for turtle wax seal n shine.
The new seal n shine is even better on all levels!
@@jhndijkman it can streak in hot places i.e. deserts, tropics. But its easily fixeable. just add a few drops of water onto the paint. seal and shine doesnt really bond to paint so it doesnt matter.
Thanks Jimbo, Seal and Shine for me all day long. I use it on my black car and it works great. I don’t think the new stuff is any better and plus u have to wait 24 hours for cure time. Seal and Shine Wins !
Seal and Shine is what i put on my car every 2 months and it is awesome!
Every 2 months!!!! It should last for 6 months they say.
Hello thank you for your comments and work I have used turtle ceramic spray coating twice and then I went over the top with seal and shine very impressed with the results thank you from sussie fan cheers
After using both products extensively I can tell you one thing, the Turtle Wax Ceramic spray coating has way higher gloss and shine. And even more durability than seal & shine. Or at least the same. The self-cleaning properties in the Ceramic spray coating keep the vehicle much cleaner than the seal & shine when it's raining or snowing.
Have you used Graphene from
Turtle wax?
Well here's my $. 02 from a light color car owner... I have 2 Mineral White Bimmers and have very little streaking that quite honestly would be invisible to most. So I consider "streaking" a non issue. The smell isn't fruity but it ain't funky either. ICE Seal n Shine is simply the Best performance value in car detailing, period! I did pre-order 2 products from their new line just to try/compare. 👍🏽
Great job as usual.
I have a black truck and I also had no streaking issues with S & S.
I have a black car , I dont notice streaking either with seal n shine. I think the more we compliment seal n shine, TW may raise the price Again!.... so we might need to quiet down
@@93hb my thoughts exactly!
That was fun to watch man! Man they are so close...I almost think the seal and shine is a taaaaad, dare I say stronger!? So tough to call on this one. Can't wait to get my own tests going!!
I'm sold! Great product review! It's definitely "TURTLE WAX CERAMIC" for me! Thanks!
Turtle Wax said that Ceramic Spray Coating sees it's best durability when you apply 2 coats, 24 hours apart, with another 24 hours of cure (no soap) after that. I would like to see that tested against Seal N shine, with Both being given the 24 hour re-coat and another 24 hour cure.
I think you might have saved Paaaaaaaaan the 24 hour re-upload 😂😂. Great content as per usual 😊
LOL. My video wasn't meant to be the full 24h hour curing time, hence why I mentioned it in the video. But man did some people become so emotional about it... It's just a spray on paint protectant (that is very good by the way, and that I even like a bit more than Seal N Shine in the end) so let's not get too caught up here...
@@PanTheOrganizer It’s still a good comparison that you did Paaaaaan The Jimboniser 😜😃. What I do like and has become clear, is the 24hr cure time, you can still use the vehicle even if it rains.
I’m still very keen on getting it though. It’s been emotional Pan 😊😃
Damn pan really caught you that was insanely surprising
I’ve used both and I enjoy the better smelling ceramic . And because of your videos , I’ve began to use turtle wax products again . I’ve been a chemical guys and Adams fan boy for years . But I’m tired of paying shipping when I can go straight to the auto parts store and buy .
Thank you for all your detailing content .
I had preordered a bottle of the ceramic after I was so impressed over the past 4 months or so with the Seal and Shine. I canceled the preorder after seeing three tests like yours that didn’t show an improvement and even appeared that the ceramic wasn’t as durable. I’ll stick with the Seal and Shine for my quick, easy, inexpensive paint protection.
Love Seal and Shine, but already had pre-ordered the ceramic spray as well. The streaking sucks, but I found rotating constant dry towels helped some. I found that if I pushed to finish a panel, and there was a buildup already, it streaked more than when I just kept grabbing dry ones.
I've been spraying a couple pumps of Seal and Shine onto a small foam pad, then wiping down one panel at a time. Good results, less product used and no streaking.
Im going to use both, the seal n shine is better in my opinion and the whole ice line up but for some customers i cant bring the car inside or shaded anywhere and thats where hybrids will be better so i think ice line will be for indoor and hybrid for out doors
Great review, looks like I'll be sticking with the Seal N' Shine. For future reference, a single camera angle was better. Constantly switching between the tripod, and handheld, and the head cam was kind of jarring.
Yes. Please go back to your old presentation.
I got seasick.
Absolutely! This was so dizzying! 😵
Gave me a heachache
@@Jason-ht6ze life must be hard when you're that sensitive.
I love Seal n shin I use it as a drying aid every 2-2/1/2 weeks after a wash for my 2018 Sierra & my wife’s - 2020 Wrangler just make sure you have a damp microfiber to follow works on WHEELS GLASS TRIMS Etc. the gloss level is excellent
Great video. As a new car owner for the first time in over 15 years, it seems technology has changed a lot. from your video, I'm leaning towards the ceramic coating for ease of use. The snippet about your dad sold me. Forgive me for being nitpicky but I would have liked the exactly cured products placed on the exact opposite quarters of the hood. ie, far left, far right. This way the contours match. Thanks for info and review
I’m glad I got 3 bottles seal and shine because I don’t want to pay double or triple money just to getting the new look of the bottle label.
Hey, Lien! We wanted to confirm prices! Our Hybrid Solutions is currently just under $16 on Amazon.com, while our ICE Seal N Shine is just under $10. We designed this product to compliment the fan-favorite ICE Seal N Shine and created it to solve some of the detailers’ pain points with SNS. The difference-makers in the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating product include:
- Easy on, easy off product application even in direct sunlight & high humidity - amazing results on paint, metal, plastic & glass in minutes
- Chemical resistant, but designed for real-world application so it lasts up to 12 months when applied per the directions on the bottle (cure time is important here - AND don’t apply your 2nd coat until after the first coat cured for 24 hours)
- Increased depth of paint color, gloss & shine
@@turtlewax when and/or where will the ceramic spray coating be available for sale. It's not listed on Amazon anymore
@@turtlewax So if I want to apply two coats of the Ceramic Spray Coating (BTW I pre-ordered it from Amazon). Do I have to not drive the car between applications? What happens if dust or dirt gets on the car between applications such has going past a guy running a leaf blower, lawn mower, etc. How is this type of situation handled? thanks
appleiphone69
I think they expect us to let the car park 24 hours before applying another coat
@@akj6181 Hey there! Hybrid Solutions is currently also available to purchase on Turtlewax.com for US customers! The product will be hitting retail shelves early 2020.
I can't stop applying Seal N Shine on my car, did the entire car after paint correction and liked the results. Now after every wash I'll re-apply it to a few panels, maybe the roof, hood, trunk lid, doors, bumpers, etc. Seems to layer well, hides deep scratches well to where you have to really look for them up close, correcting those scratches are beyond my abilities and comfort level.
I am a professional car painter for the last 50 years I have used or try to use the ceramic spray on my black Mustang. I didn't particularly care for it. It worked me pretty hard to get the smear removed. I tried to apply at all different kind of ways. It was just really tough to remove it. I like the seal and shine.
I was very excited over the ceramic spray coating but now I'm leaning a little toward seal and shine. Its cheaper, no cure time, no worries over my cloths being hardened by sio2 and I didn't see a significant difference between the two products in this video. One big plus for me is the ceramic spray can be used in direct sunlight. If not for that I wouldn't hesitate to stick with seal and shine.
I never have had any streaking using Seal & Shine, I love how it protects & shine's. For me, I'll stick with an already winner product.
We are glad you love our ICE Seal N Shine! We love to have something for everyone!
I've used both. This season was a claybar with a once over with the Hybrid polish with 3 coats of the Hybrid spray wax - proper cure times of course... Absolutely sick. One month since the last coat with the SiO2 - holding up really well with sunglass gloss. Have used S&S over the ceramic as post-wash once over = sick&sick. Double whammy folks...stuff works on my Tornado red GTI.
$ value for both is over the top. STREAKING??...I very lightly mist distilled h2o over the affected affected area(s) wipe with your best fluffy...voila! Good luck with whatever u use!!
Thank God someone did it. Pan The Organizer didn't show us the hybrid after a cure. Just immediately started the torture test. Thanks for this video. Waiting on my pre-order from Amazon
Thank you for the very detailed test of the 2 products, and the explanation that you cant get from just watching. Very helpful!
I bought seal n shine because of your videos. I do see the streaking on my sterling gray car. I like that it protects. I will have to try the ceramic product. I have so much seal n shine it will prolly last into next year. Thanks for the detail advise and product tests.
I’ve applied Seal N Shine to a few different cars and the only time it got streaky for me was when I was doing it in heat/sunlight.
You absolutely cannot use Seal N Shine in the sun or else you will get streaks. It flash-dries on the surface so you literally can’t wipe it off. To fix the streaks, I waited until it cooled off, then reapplied the product on top of the streaky areas and it fixed it.
I have just tried the ceramic and I love it, beats the heck out of paste
Seal and Sine is great stuff and that's what I had been using however I've since switched over to the new hybrid line simply because there are a number of products to compliment the ceramic spray such as the wash, the detailer and the wet wax. I just like the idea of having a line of products in the same family that work well together. Still a big fan of Seal and Shine though.....it's all good stuff and you can't go wrong with any of it. Oh, and yes, I do like the smell of the hybrid solution line.
Seal n Shine for the Win!!!
Thanks Jimbo I think both products looks amazing! I’ve protected my car with seal n shine and top with ice spray wax can’t wait to see if it will resist to our long winter with salty roads! Great videos as usual great job!
I was thinking of topping with the Ice Spray Wax, until I saw a video showing results after 1 wash and wasn't impressed. For now I just re-apply Seal N Shine layering it and it's working great.
Mr. Jimbo, I really enjoy both products from Turtle Wax. I used the Hybrid Solution products on my cars, & I used the Seal N Shine on cars that have carnauba wax applied to them. So they have different applications. The Hybrid Solution products were applied about 9 months ago on both of my daily drivers, still have shine & protection. The Seal N Shine I used after I used I applied Meguiars Ultimate Polish & Ultimate Wax. Also used S N S, as a booster, after I used TW Ice Spray Wax. As a non professional, For your viewers, I HIGHLY recommend both products from Turtle Wax. Remember, the key in using any polish or wax, prepare your car properly.
I bought one bottle of seal and shine when it came out. Used it and was very impressed and bought 5 more bottles for $5 each from amazon couple of months ago. Told my coworkers and few of them bought bottle each. Very good product and easy to use and very wallet friendly. Win win
Great video as usual Jimbo. We all really appreciate you testing out these products. I don’t seem to have any streaking issues with the Seal and shine but I do have white cars. It seems to me at this juncture it’s not really worth throwing my seal and shine out. Again thanks for the great reviews.
I would suggest Seal&Shine , The Last Coat2 and TW ceramic spray. That would be a good battle to see.😎
it might go on for days...LOL
I love both Seal n Shine and The Last Coat 2. Both are great products 💪. You should test them!
Lost faith in The last coat in their first series. Total rip off and doesn't last any longer than two rabbits going at it.
I just take my time using seal and shine until my 3 bottles gone then hopefully ceramic spray get cheaper with the price I will start buying them for my future use.
Terrific video. Very clear and complete demonstration/explanation. Lighting, audio and video are right on! Great video, Jimbo. Keep it up!!!
I just used Ceramic on My Sister’s 2015 Honda Pilot that’s black. I had some streaks. No problem, a damp microfiber took care of that. It took ten minutes or so to complete it. I like it very much. I’ve used it as a topper to a few ceramic coated vehicles. It looks great and lasts a while! Two thumbs up.
I pre-ordered the new Ceramic stuff, BUT after your test I cancelled it and will continue to use Seal and Shine. Orig formula Seal and Shine for the win!!!
Billie Bob Norton III I did the same thing.
@@vetteboy1024 Add me to the list too LOL
Great video. I would say the original Seal and Shine product would still be a "best choice" as a cost effective finish to a simple detailing. The ceramic product appears to work almost as well and might be a best choice for a black car. Keep up the good work.
Jimbo, heres an idea what if you mixed like 5 or 6 sio2 ceramic sprays together in one bottle and do a test on that?
I've gone for the seal n shine although it's called just sealant here in the UK. In my opinion it seemed to sheet the quickest during your test. 👍 good test thanks for uploading, time to give a try myself.
I’ve finally tried both, I prefer the Seal N Shine over the Cermaic. I felt the same it just felt better going on. Great Video!
I pre-ordered the new Hybrid Turtle Wax and I will be using it differently. I use seal and shine as a drying aid when I am in direct sunlight since it was so much cheaper than Sonax BSD. I'll probably do a 50/50 comparison of Hybrid Turtle Wax and seal and shine on my DD RSX as it sits outside during the day. Thank you for always making these informative videos Jimbo!
That’s a great idea
To comment on a few things. I'd say I want water beading. It is a higher level of hydrophobicity. When a coating or sealant, etc, starts to degrade, it goes from beading to sheeting. So if we're already starting at sheeting, its hydrophobicity isn't as intense as it could be. And another thing, usually when rain water collects on a car, its as if you left distilled water or purified H2O on a panel that mostly doesnt leave any water spots. Since tap or hose water contains all the minerals and agents that we'd consider make up hard water, those agents dry and leave spots on the panel. Thats generally where water spots come from.
Other than that cool video man I'm really loving this first person shooter angle. Its really working. Keep up the good work, Jimbo.
i think what he tried to describe with the "water spots" after rain is that even if you celaned your car the day before, there is going to be dust on it, when it rains you get spots where the water picked up the dust and then dried. At least they aren't going to do anything bad to the paint like lime does (i hope that is the right translation for the mineral in most hard tap water)
What does rainwater contain? As a result of this process, rainwater is inherently dirty. It needs that condensation nucleus - that dust, soot, or flake of salt - in order to form and fall. This is precisely why you'll have probably noticed that, from time to time, the rain on your window leaves streaks of dust.
Fantastic video Jimbo! Excellent thoroughness! Love all your videos! Ignore the idiots! You are doing phenomenal work! Keep it up my friend!
Looks like seal & shine winner
Need to see which one has a higher metered shine
Pan The Organizer says the ceramic spray has a higher gloss.
New ceramic coating for me, good prep and cure time equal longer protection.
I live in Arizona and I have not been disappointed by seal n shine. And the temp was not that bad during the demo turtle wax had
Man this is a tough one but i will say i have a decent stock of S&S and it being a bit more elbow grease to keep the streaks away isn’t an issue for me because when using one towel for application and one for buffing its not that big of a deal, will still be picking up the ceramic coating for some certain areas I’d like to test, great comparison Jimbo
Edit: I’d like to emphasize again the fact even turtle wax mentioned on their instagram that if someone just wants a chemical resistant beast that S&S is the go to but the ceramic coating caters to those who just dont wanna put in thr additional elbow grease for buffing off the S&S.
Love the fact how they are transparent and arent just trying to upsell
Seal n shine wins. Topped it off with ice spray wax and its freaking awesome.
Best combo i have ever used
Me too, amazing combo
SnS topped with Bead Maker is pretty amazing.
We agree - This is a killer combo! If you are looking for the complete package - from ease of use, to durability to a high-gloss shine, Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating is our pick!
Ice Spray Wax as a ”topper” with Seal and Shine???? Hmmm. Let me try that especially for the winter here in PA. I’ve been using Beadmaker as a ”topper” with S&S and it is killer for 8-9 year months out of the year.
how about layer it? For ex puting two layers od ceramic coating with cure time as needed, and then on top of that seal n shine?
Extremely well done!!! It looked to me like Seal and Shine edged it out at the end but like you and others have commented, they were both so close that it will probably come down to preference based on the pros and cons of each product. Also from a "real world conditions" standpoint the Ceramic Spray when applied with a second coat after the initial 24hr cure time, is SUPPOSED to have more long term durability. Of course time will tell... Aside from that I'm going to definitely pick some up and test it out on my own vehicles.
ive used both and you can layer the procedure with seal and shine too
After using Seal N Shine and other coatings dried on dirt over time seems to be a better torture test than a same day chemical test.
I use Ice Seal n Shine on my black SL. No streaking, let me repeat that, no streaking problems. Just follow the directions. Easy on, easy off. Gorgeous shine and smoothness.
Just got a bottle of the Ceramic Spray Coating! I am VERY eager to see how it compares to their now legendary ICE Seal & Shine that I've been using for a while...
Jimbo, at first look I have to congratulate you on the lighting you used to record this video. You & the background are no longer in the dark! 👍👍👍. Video looks amazingly high resolution. 🏆🏆🏆
My cars seem well protected with TW Ceramic. Haven't tried Seal n Shine. Never used TW products before about 2 months ago. Now absolutely sold!
I was getting bad brake dust on my 19 PP1 mustang GT gloss black wheels. Put some seal n shine on em for the hell of it. Night n day. Almost zero brake dust sticking to the wheels. Works soo good
Seal 'n Shine is still my favourite🤜💪
Great product 👍
Totally agree with you 👍💯
I fucking agree. I bought 4 bottles when they were 6 dollars each.
I think the hard tropical sun is the REAL test of durability...far more than the water beading or sheeting. But I like what you're doing; it's valuable too!
Definitely a try it out. I own a black car so streaks are a major annoyance awesome vid
Gloss readings will be my deciding factor.
Top seal@ shine with beadmaker.. shinier and more durable than Turtle Wax Ceramic spray coating.
I only experienced a little streaking with Seal n Shine on the hood only. The vehicle was at operating temperature after going through a drive thru car wash, I applied Seal n Shine as a drying aid. I attribute the streaking to the latent heat in the hood from the heat of the engine. I was able to eliminate the streaks by applying Collinite 845 to the hood and wiping it away. Not sure how "layerable those two product are but I definitely have good protection. I would like to see a salt grime mixture applied to hood and allowed to sit on the panel for a few days after a proper application of the products, to me that is real world. I am not in hurry to get the Ceramic product I have plenty of Seal n Shine. I really like Seal n Shine.
Love ceiling, shine column, but hate the striking still.... My new favorite thing is the new minute wax For quick detailing.. no streaking, and pops colors hugely.
I'll try it when it comes out-- but Seal n Shine was the winner of the torture test (again). I still have a few bottles and the stuff just lasts forever. So I'll keep using it. After buying enough Ammo product to drain a bank account, Turtle Wax just kills it time after time for under $10 bucks.
Was under $10. Seems the secrets out now. Still a great bargain!
Can't wait for the new line up from Turtle Wax November 1st. Ammo is over rated
Ammo is garbage
I bought seal and shine for $5 each and bought 5 bottles couple of months ago. I would not consider AMMO. He is ripoff
ammo is 'phone china have my label slapped on some cheap trash' and ship it over
love the seal and shine its a winner for me after doing my lava grey audi with it the paintwork just pops and never need to wash it as often as I used to and I look after my car as a car sprayer I need my paintwork to look good at all times, I am sure the ceramic spray is excellent as well but I stick with what I know works been using it for about a year now and only applied the spray twice so no complaints here great product
All I want to see is TW Ceramic compared to Technitians Choice TEC582 which I use now on my BLK car and LOVE It
It’s a great fricken product
@@autodetailingpodcast Which one is greater? I bet both are not too shabby :) I ordered the new TW Ceramic and also the car wash as I reached out to them and they said on a black car that has soft clear to combo both. Heck why not try-damn car is brand new and awful. Walk by it and it scratches-lol
Taking into account the price and the performance, Seal 'n' Shine is a fantastic product still.
After using ICE Spray Wax for about a year, I tried the Ceramic Coating and used a 5-inch microfiber applicator (directions said to use a separate towel as an applicator) and I learned to work in a small area or the product can dry too quickly. After two days cure time, reapplied the Ceramic Coating in cool/cold weather. Two months later, the Hybrid coating still sheds water better than the regular spray wax applied to a different vehicle. IMO: the Spray Wax has Ease-of-Application and the Ceramic Coating has greater durability and it was chosen to apply on the roof of a SUV/Van because its such a PITA to clean and wax the top.
Too bad my driveway detailing has pretty much come to an end here in Wisconsin. I'll be picking it up in the spring. If both products are virtually the same, I give the nod to a better smell. Seal n shine smells bad for sure. Excellent video Jimbo, thanks for the info!!
Same here, over in MN! I actually don't mind the smell of Seal n Shine. I think it was Jimbo, but someone said it smells like his dad/grandpa cologne lol. I have 2 extra bottles of Seal n Shine that I bought at Walmart for $6/bottle, so I'll be waiting for plenty of durability tests before I spend money to replace something that's already a rockstar in my arsenal.
Would you pay over 3 times the price just for a better smell??
still have a week or two here in NY. 😭 will try do do one last coat of seal and shine until March.
@@Twiztid_Metal. Cheapest price in the UK is £7,50 but you have to buy 2 bottles to get that price. About 6 weeks ago you could buy a bottle from some detailing websites for £6. Now because of the explosion on RUclips and media they are now up to £14 a bottle! Luckily I currently have 5 bottles! 😁🏴
Luis Gaston your lucky that you can do it in March. Here in Maine I have to wait until May for the 12 feet of snow to start melting😂🤣
Great video. I just picked up some seal n shine and look forward to using it. Thanks for sharing.
Video starts at 2:30 recommend 1.5x
The problem of those companies are they jacked up the price when we consumers start put our trust in their products. Thank God that we have guy like Jimbo and Pan can show us the difference so we don’t break our wallet$
Thanks for the trust you place in my opinion Lien!
Could not pick it up yet, but I preordered 2 bottles of the Hybrid solutions! Excited!!!
Bought some TW Ceramic car wash and bought the ceramic coating wax. Nice stuff.
Seal and shine looks the winner
Overall seal and shine is still on top the way I see this
From pans test seal and shine came out on top and im happy I have so much of it in my collection. Also I’m tired of waiting until nov 11 to order it!
Well because he didn't let it cure
On the ceramic coating, a 24 hour cure is needed between coats too. You put it on too thick imo. Great vid! Can't wait to try it. No such thing as a "wet cure", really, imo. S&S needs no cure. The ceramic coating will wash right off if not cured properly. In conclusion, for my money, I'm Stickin with S&S. Cheaper and more durable. In my use of S&S, I had no problem with the streaking on the paint. However, I did have some streaking on glass. TW tried to one up on S&S but imo just didn't score with the ceramic.
For basic services I use Seal n Shine because the price is outstanding and the average client isn’t going to fully understand the difference or want to pay extra for SiO2 based product. For those that want ceramic like protection but not the level of application needed for professional level ceramic coating I use Gtechniq C2 Liquid Crystal V3(20 dollars on Amazon offers a year of protection).
I understand about the fragrance thing.
I can't use Megs D166 because of the sour apple scent.
I think I will try the Seal & Shine. I have a white truck so the streaking probably won't be an issue.
I’m always a fan of sheeting
Wow man, the quality of your videos has really improved. I'd love to see a Cheap vs. Expensive: Turtle Wax Seal n Shine vs. GTechniq C2v3. I use C2v3 all the time and like it, but it is expensive and I often wonder if SnS would be just as good.
Love your videos, just wondering if you've done a video for the "Ultimate" product, I.e. which product lasts the longest, not worrying about application but just the product that is basically apply and forget about for a while?
Seal n shine us the best I've used so far. Great vid
Now THIS is a proper comparison and torture test! I wish you had let BSD "cure" for a few hours before hitting it the way you did on the other video too! 😉
It's not equally tested as area on the hood, the hood is not flat and it's not even the angle tend to slope any the end then middle if you look at this video
Wiping with a wet rag and hosing off works great at removing/blending the streaks for turtle wax seal n shine.
Nice review!
POV camera = 5/5
Voice over information on those slow motion parts = 5/5 (nice to see in slow mo what you do and learn how the product reacts)
Great choice of products
Thanks's!
i live in hawaii and we have micro climate sometimes west of island is sunny while east is pouring. I put a ceramic coat and the next day i drove on a rainy day. parked my truck and saw alot of beads. minutes later sun was out and guess what? all those beads left water spot. you're absolutely right about after water sheeting.
@npgSymboL graphene on the other hand should dissipate heat that causes the water spot. imma watch reviews of graphene then remove my ceramic.
I’d be interested in the difference of the gloss readings between the two products.
I agree. Why was the "gloss factor" not even a consideration?
Wondering this the whole time. Never mentions a word about how it looks.
@@HoosierDaddyDetailingit should definitely be a category in every video.
in another video i watched the the newer hybrid ceramic spray had the better shine
Something that has to be considered here is that like ICE - the new Hybrid Solutions are an entire line of products that compliment each other and likely need to be used together. I have had fantastic results using ICE Speed Compound to prep the paint - then using Seal and Shine - followed up with the ICE Paste Wax - and then the ICE Spray Wax (which I apply after cleaning the car using ICE Wash and Wax). My cars have never looked so good and specifically my Corvettes are so smooth and easy to wash as nothing seems to stick (not even bugs and tar). Water just rolls off the paint and the gloss is amazing. I get asked all the time what products I use and folks sometime seem surprised when I say Turtle Wax ICE. I have good reason to be loyal to the product line...
That being said there is an entire new line of Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions that have yet to be tested in tandem with each other. One advantage is that the New Hybrid Spray Wax goes on after a wash while the car is still wet - saving a step since you dry and wax at the same time. If the new Hybrid spray wax works as well as the ICE spray wax does - that it could save time. I am anxious to learn more about / use the entire new line of products before I pass judgement...
Here is the ultimate comparison test:
ICE Speed Compound - then ICE Seal and Shine - then ICE Spray Wax
VS.
Hybrid Solutions Polish and Wax - then Hybrid Ceramic Spray Coating - then Hybrid Spray Wax
Using the entire line of each will show the true final result - there you go Jimbo - that would be something worth a RUclips episode on your channel!
I agree, show a neglected panel restored by both product lines
Great video and just subscribed! I recently picked up a bottle of Seal N Shine and have been very happy with it on my Black Sapphire Metallic BMW. Previously, I was using the original Adams H20 Guard and Gloss. I like the product/performance, but dislike the scent. I actually don't mind the scent of Seal N Shine.
I am still a fan of using paste wax but those products are excellent. I like using the seal and shine while drying the car. I barely get any streaking when I do it with the car being wet. Same thing with the technicians choice they hold up pretty well when you use it like a drying aid. I can't wait to try those new Turtle Wax products after using Meguiars for so many years. As far as paste wax is concerned what do you think of the 3M paste wax it's pretty durable.
The only torture test here is if you manage to watch this video for 24 minutes. The camera movement in this video is just freaking crazy!
Agreed.
7:42 "lets spray the AM IRon... whatever that is left of it..." and proceeded to spray most of it unto the ground lol.
