I like what Turtle Wax has been doing for last few years. I had very little interest in the products (even though they had some gems all along) but now they’re marketing is on point and the products do what they claim. Love that.
I've been using Turtle wax since 1977 ...over the years I'm extremely impressed of the new products that Turtle wax came out and your show is really amazing of showing what Turtle wax can do Keep up the amazing job
Once again, Pan, great presentation. Clear, precise and cogent. I needed the update on Turtle Wax since the intro of their ceramic line. Thanks for your dedication and the time you take to keep us educated.
I am going to piggyback off this by thanking Pan as well I really appreciate your experience and wisdom for detailing again thank you for educating and informing us car enthusiasts!!!!
Thanks for the info. BTW on my 2 newer cars I followed your steps to prep then Max Wax and every few months after a wash I use the Flex wax as a drying aid. This combo makes washing easy and slickness and protection is amazing.
I will say it again. You are BY FAR the best presenter on you tube!!! Great job!! Still love using the Flex Wax you turned me on to.. Great product! Thank you. 😊
Hi Pan, I used the Graphene To the Max Wax for the first time today. When it says to remove with a damp towel you BETTER use a damp towel otherwise you'll never get it off (btw, I did it by hand). I'll be using the Graphene Tire Shine coating tomorrow.
Turtle wax has always been a great line. Their new Hybrid solution looks great especially their ceramic spray coating. Made the Toyota glossy 🤩 I remember I bought my first wax that was from Turtle wax for my first car 13 years ago “Ice wax” they discontinued the product and and I’ve still got the tub with enough to do 4 cars. I’ve got their Ceramic paste wax to try out as you said it brings back the memories back in the days ‘wax on, wax off’
I loved the turtle wax ice the bottle of the clear stuff! It was first wax I used could put it on everything no white residue and so easy to apply and remove.
Love Turtle wax! When I started my detailing journey I use to stick to meguiars, then I learned about chemical guys then I moved to turtle wax and gotta say turtle wax has really outdone others!
I NEVER get tired of watching this video!! Have seen it DOZENS of times, now! Awesome presentation of FABULOUS products!! Simply stellar!!! Oh, and TW's Graphene Flex Wax is the biggest gem in their Hybrid Solutions line in my opinion, too!! Thanks for posting!
I have been using these products for 9 months, since I bought my new car with Pearlescent paint. The depth of colour, shine and slickness is awesome. The paint looks 'wet' when I have finished... All credit to Turtle Wax for their innovation. Brilliant product!!! Great Video Pan, many thanks...
@@PanTheOrganizer Hey Pan, I would say the Flex Wax, followed by Slick and Slide which I use in my foam canon. I like the trigger on the Leather and Glass cleaners as well!
I know that Turtle Wax had gotten a bad rap over the years; however, I owe the longevity (no fade or cracking) of my 34yo dashboard in my '88 IROC to having used a TW protectant for many years. While the name alludes me, it was a clear product in a spray bottle. I have started using the Hybrid Solutions line--thanks to your videos--and hope to get another 34 years (I wish!) out of the car. I use the Flex Wax as a drying agent on all of our cars which I had ceramic coated with Armor Shield IX last year.
@@PanTheOrganizer seal & shine has been my go to topper for awhile now. Based on your tests I think going to give either the Flex Wax or the Ceramic Spray Coating a try!
@@PanTheOrganizer if you had to chose a topper (I’m currently using the TW ceramic +graphene paste wax) which would choose? TW spray Flex Wax or the TW ceramic spray coating?
Used Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Hyperfoam Wheel Cleaner and Tire Prep today - Wow was a great product - worked real well on the tire grime and made rims look real good -
A couple of days ago I used the turtle wax graphine flex wax for the first time and the car has been sitting in the garage since to allow curing. I had purchased extreme solutions as per your recommendation. Would there be a benefit applying extreme solution on top?
I have a 2014 Ram 1500 Lonestar crew cab in deep cherry pearlcoat. I keep it in the garage. I was wanting to find something that would bring life to the color of my truck. I came across your videos and I decided to try the 75th Turtle Wax paste wax. I followed your steps before putting this wax on my truck. Washed and dried the truck, and put it in the garage. Then I used a clay bar and lubercant and started. Took me me a while to get the hang of using the clay bar and solution, but once I got the hang of clay baring the truck, the process was fast. It did get the dirt out of the paint. sprayed with water and wiped off the clay lubercant dry. Then I started with the wax. This smells really nice, and went on very smooth. The Magic was when I buffed out the residue. The shine is remarkable!! Thank you so much for highly recommending this wax. THIS WAX WORKS!! The truck looks like it did when I got it off the showroom floor. Thanks you your recommendation.
That's awesome Steve! Thanks for sharing your real world experience with us. And yes a good wax gives a nice "pop" to colors and your paint must feel super smooth now that you also decontaminated it! Good job.
I love the ceramic wet wax and use it all the time for maintenance washes from reviews on your channel. Next I'd like to try the graphene. Love your content!
Incredible amount of invaluable information! I’ve recently started using several of these products and they are unbelievable! Thanks for the clear, easy to follow tips to help make us better at keeping our vehicles looking great!

Hi Pan, thanks for another great video. One confusing topic I hope you can cover in a future video is choosing and using machine polishing pads. With all the options available I know it’s a complex subject, but would be great to have the main issues explained in your usual clear and concise style.
Thanks Pan, I have had a look at the video - very useful, although you didn’t discuss wool pads. Any thoughts on wool pads? Your video refers to the 3D One product and you said that you may still want to have a polishing stage after using 3D if you want the best possible finish - would you use Sonax Perfect Finish for this stage? Thanks
After seeing your video a couple of months ago, I purchased the Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Polish and Wax. My rating: BEST WAX PRODUCT EVER! Dang it's just that good. Used it today for the first time on my Mercedes SL and it was fantastic. Applying it is almost like putting cream on the paint. Smooth. Easy to take off and polish as well. Highly recommended and the shine is something else.
Wow! Turtle Wax has really come a long way since our Dad's old tub of paste wax! There seems to be a LOT of overlap in this line though, and that can lead to some customer confusion. So, for a white SUV with tan leather interior, could you pick out a simplified product list? Also, would you use this Turtle Wax line over the Meguire's Hybrid line? Thanks so much!
Pan,I have learned so much from you. Especially with products that are available locally. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with all products. Hope to see you in April!
@@PanTheOrganizer If you don't mind me asking, do you recommend using the grqphene flex wax as a topper for Adam's Graphene Ceramic Coating? Can we use the graphene flex wax on exterior plastics? Thank you!
The only product I had ever used from Turtle Wax was the Oxidation/Water Spot Remover. I honestly didn't know they made other products besides waxes until a year ago. I used their Ice Seal N Shine on my dad's neglected 2001 Jeep GC, I only did the hood as a tester and it's held up great! Only critique I have is regarding the polish+protect 24 hour cure time before washing or adding protection. Unless it's a garage kept vehicle, you will be forced to remove the layer of dust/dirt before applying protection. It is not terrible, but it is a deal breaker for me. I would stick with traditional wash, decon, polish, IPA wipe, and protection in the same day
Got the 50th Anniversary Graphene paste wax and used it as my base protection and use the Graphene spray wax as my topper, works fantastic, looks great! The spray Wet Wax in the yellow label bottle is, in my opinion, the best bang for the buck, considering the awesome slickness ,deep look to the paint and ease of use for about $13 bucks!
Thanks for sharing! Keep in mind you got the 75th anniversary paste wax, not the 50th. They celebrated over 75 years as a family owned business. What an achievement! :)
@@henrysmith180 I do a basic one-step, dual action polisher, paint correction with a hand applied paste wax base coat every spring. I use the spray wet wax after each wash. We only get a few inches of snow right here, but lots of rain!
Pan, Based on this video I picked up some 3 in1 detailer and you are right! It takes care of the light (and even not-so-light) dirt with ease. Our weather recently changed and I drove in some light rain so the water spots were out in full force. A few sprays of this per panel and it looks like I spent hours waxing my Jeep. Seriously, great stuff. And the smell isn't bad either :)
Terrific video Pan. I have used EVERY one of these products and have been at the least very satisfied! With that being said, the availability, value, ease of use and end results of their products are an equation that puts Turtle Wax at the top of the game. I'd also throw in that their "green line" STILL has many excellent products as well. Shine on you crazy diamonds!
@@PanTheOrganizer all of them? Lol!! Hmmmm...for my personal use on my red GTI the Paste wax-FLEX combo is just killer. The Inside Job and Graphene Tire dressing get it done respectively...that is as close as I can narrow it down Pan thx!
@@thestreamreader hey hi Stream, thx 4 asking. This is Pan's channel so I'll be brief but - you asked... Here's a couple that I still keep around and find them to be very effective and very affordable. •Wax & Dry - a spray-on wet wax. •Wheel & Tire Cleaner foam spray •Carnuba Cleaner Wax - paste/spray/liquid •Max Power Car Wash Can't go wrong! Hope that's helpful. Shine on you crazy diamond!
Pan you never disappoint! I thought I had the whole line but I see where I have gaps in my arsenal. Thanks for this detailed and well presented review.
Thank you!Has anyone know if these line magnetized dust ? For me ceramic wash&wax are different world after regular shampoo almost no foam and i love that
@@PanTheOrganizerHello. Ceramic spray &wax line)if this product attracts more dust than other similar products. It's just that nobody pays attention to this or it's not so important?Thank you
I don’t have any dust issues where I live so it really depends on your conditions and environment. But I did not get feedback from my viewers that say that these products attract dust.
Big fan of their wheel and tire cleaner. Do you happen to know the proper dilution ratio for the concentrated gallon sized container? I’m guessing 1:1? Thanks, Pan!
To my knowledge, it's not meant to be diluted. It's a ready to use formula. However, some have tested in a foaming pump sprayer like this: amzn.to/3NgTWyF And they bought the gallon size of Hyper Foam, used straight for heavy duty, 1:1 dilution for medium duty and 1:2 for light duty and had great results. Do some testing and see what works best for you.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you for the reply! I started using turtle wax ages ago based on your videos and I absolutely loved them!!! My favorite is TW Wet Wax because it never streaks and it protects all exterior surfaces! I really like Flex wax as well. Sometimes I will use it weekly as I really like the slickness it’s the best of all their products but I’m worried I would layer it too much and it will be hard to remove it when it’s time for a quick polish job. And for interior I love the inside job! It’s super easy to use again and the results are amazing. Thank you for recommending TW! What a great great product. I gave TW wet wax bottles as presents to all of my friends that love their cars and everyone now is a fan!
Hello, thanks for the great video but i have one question. You say '' When you done with these polishes you wait 24 hours then you can start applying your ceramic spray coating'' 15:56 And to get the best result we have to apply ceramic spray coating 1 more time after 24 hours without washing the car. So the total process will take 48 hours. I have a lots of dust in my area and raining too, what should i do if i see dirt on my car (dust mixed with rain) ? Should i wash again and restart the process or what ? I would be really happy if you answer it. Have a nice one.
So nice. I love turtlewax since i watched ur vid about flexwex.(it was my first video from u) I tried the ceramic spray wax but i like the flex a bit better. I have to buy one next week again since its empty. Also i will try like u sad woth the pastewax first then flex on top. I did got some streakings aswell. Mostly when i did it in the shade it looked perfect but whem i went out in the sun i could see streakings. Maybe i used it wrong. I used an applicator and did 2 sprays per panel but i never changed the applicator in between. Also the tire cleaner and coating looks very interesting aswell. I might get those too.
This is awesome Pan! I recently transitioned from other various products to the complete Hybrid line. My customers and I love the results. Thanks for a very informative post sir!
@PanTheOrganizer, has any of there products you demo-ed, been updated or any new products from TW come out since this video came out? There Hybrid line is up there with many of the boutique brands. I became a believer when I tested it against one of my favorite maintenance wheel and tire cleaners. There Hybrid wheel and tire prep really gets the tire nice and deep black even when there's lots of browning on the tires. Thanks for highlighting TW products !!
Hopefully this gets a reply a being an older video, but I have a question Pan. I'm going to be resetting my black VW Atlas's paint, full decon, polish and protect route I was planning on using TW HS Ceramic Graphene paste wax as a base and ending with ADS Amplify, but my question is: Do you think I should us TW HS Flex Wax, Ice Seal & Shine, TW HS Black Ceramic Acrylic or TW HS plain Ceramic as a topper and refresh every few months with using my Amplify for maintenance? Or just us my ADS Amplify as my topper and also for the maintenance washes?
Thanks for sharing Pan, a lot of useful information here. TW has come a long way with their products, and provides good value for the price. Thanks again for sharing, and keep up the great work!
I felt Turtle Wax was on to something when they came out with the Ice line around 2006/7(?) The Ice Paste was really strong with great water behavior - which at the time (2008) meant a lot to me, because the Zymol I was using didn't hold up all that long. The Ice Paste would hold up MUCH longer. I also used their "Premuim Grade" Rubbing and Polishing Compounds. They were very easy to use, and produced excellent results. Again, this was back in spring of 08 when I got back into detailing after splitting up with my fiancé. During the five years I was with her, I didn't do much detailing. I think her mom's car was the only on I did with my first set of Wen Rotary buffer. Megs pads, Meg's M02, M09, and M26. When I got back into detailing I started checking out the Turtle. Today I'm mostly using Optimum for personal and professional use, but I still like Turtle Wax and am glad to see how they've grown. I also remember buying a bunch of Turtle Wax Vision Auto Polish. It's sheeting ability was part of the marketing as well as some type of synthetic component, like Tedlon or something similar. Wal Mart was blowing them out for a dollar per kit! I bought them all fall of 1997, and still have one!
Hey Pan, this was awesome, thank you. I have a question about the Wheel Cleaner and Iron Remover products. What about the wheels that are painted or powder-coated aluminum? I have heard that anything other than mild detergents is not good for them. AT 8:19, the tire dressing is impressive. I lent a car cover to someone and whatever he had on his wheels got all over the cover at the bottom. It was a greasy mess that didn't come out in the commercial washing machine. I have been using Armoural tire spray foam on my tires up until now. I like the matt or satin finish for tires. I also like the water beading the Turtle Wax produces. This appears to be a good system, easy to use and effective. I really like the paste wax though, as that is what I was used to some years ago. At 28:24 can you use the Wet Wax over something called "Forever Black"? It is to restore the fading of bumper parts on classic Mercedes cars that are black. TTYL
@@PanTheOrganizer Currently my favorite is the paste wax I have not gotten a chance to use it yet but watching your videos made me excited to use it more than any of the other hybrid solutions products.
Pan, can’t thank you enough. All those products are in my Amazon shopping cart now. Will buy them one by one and use them as suggested on the packaging. 🙏🏽
Pam, your videos are awesome...two questions on the Precision Platelet compound...1. What would be the recommended level of abrasion for a old car? (volvo xc90 2011 silver), 2. Can i use an orbital sander with the right abrasive pad/foam to apply it?
There is no magical combination. You have to do test spots on your specific paint, to find the appropriate compounding polish and pad combo for your desired defect removal and finish on your specific paint.
Two questions: 1. When you say wait 24 hours to wash vehicle after applying the spray waxed etc; do you mean you must wash them 24 hours after or are you saying if you are going to wash you must wait 24 hours? 2. The iron Decon product, could you use this on the body as a Decon prior to waxing or is there specific products just for that? On a budget and looking for multiple purpose products, is it safe to use their decon product for that? Thanks for all the info and wisdom you give away, we’re all grateful!
I'm confused by your question. The instructions are clear. After you apply the Ceramic Spray Coating, you have to wait at least 24 hours before you wash your car again. You don't have to wash the car after 24 hours though. I would actually recommend that people wait one full week before washing the car again. The Iron Decon & Wheel Cleaner can be used on the paintwork as well, to remove iron particles and brake dust that's embedded in the clear coat. So yes you can wash your car, then rinse, then use the Iron Decon for chemical decontamination, and then you can also clay the paint if needed, machine polish to remove scratches and swirls, and then apply the protection once all the steps are done.
Hi i always watch mostly your videos. Im really fan. Its very informative. I just want to ask. I have a ceramic coated my car. Can i use a hybrid graphene turtle on it? More power to your channel
Hi Jayson! Thanks for the positive feedback about my channel. Welcome to my channel.

I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing. To answer your question, yes you can use the Graphene Flex Wax spray on a ceramic coated car.
Good video Pan. Turtle Wax saw the writing on the wall a few years ago when the market was flooded with products from hundreds of different companies and decided to "up their game" so to speak with the hybrid solutions line. I have a few of them and the ones I do have work very well. The hybrid solutions line is pretty reasonably priced too and can be found quite easily locally at the Auto Parts stores and most of the larger retailers across the USA. For anyone looking for very solid products, reasonably priced, easy availability, and the fact they work well, cannot go wrong with the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions line up.
@@PanTheOrganizer From the stuff I currently have, the Ceramic Spray Coating. Only cost me about $13. I use it as a topper after washing to top up the protection. Also works great for a very quick top up on the protection on rims too.
I am new to derailing, I just started maintaining my car after years of neglect and ignorance. Your channel has been a great source of knowledge. I found the abundance of products very confusing to me as newby. This video will be my best reference and I will stick with TW. Thanks again and big congrats to Turtle wax leadership's for their successes.

@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you Pan for the kind response. Your channel popped up as I was searching for a solution to fix the yellow rusty small spots. I knew nothing about the iron remover. Your first video that came up was 101 detailing. Aftet that I got hooked to your channel. :) and watched lot more. My wife's car never looked better specifically after I applied the TW ice seal n shine. :)
Hi, I'm going to do the full wash, decontamination, polish/paint correction. I bought Turtle wax ceramic spray and paste wax after watching your videos on them. Should I use the ceramic spray as my base or the wax? Thank you for your time.
Turtle Wax recommends a base layer of the Ceramic + Graphene paste wax first, and then you apply the Graphene Flex Wax on top. If you are planning to use the Ceramic Spray Coating instead, perhaps reach out to Turtle Wax and ask them if that combination is ok.
Another great video Pan. I’ve recently started using TW products and they are definitely NOT the TW that I grew up with. Keep up the great work Pan!!! Can the Graphene Flex be used on top of Seal N Shine? And, can Restart Wash be used on a vehicle coated with Seal N Shine? I’d like to try the Flex Wax and after this video…I’m going out to buy some. Thx again.
Hi Brian! Yeah Turtle Wax had a revolution when they introduced the ICE line, and then they became a staple in the detailing world when they released their higher end Hybrid Solutions line in 2019 and have been releasing hit after hit since then! Yes you can apply the Graphene Flex Wax on top of pretty much any Turtle Wax protection. It's best used as a base layer when possible (as it does last longer than Seal N Shine) but it's fine to be used as a topper. As long as you apply the first foundation coat on dry paint. Did you watch my Flex Wax review and application tutorial? Here: ruclips.net/video/b5BjDzItlr8/видео.html
What do you do with your towels after wiping off the tire dressing? Can you wash them with your other microfibers that are reserved for painted surfaces?
Hi Pan! Thank you for the amazing detailed reviews and how-to-use details. Pan, I would like your opinion on what is the best way to clean and protect (bring back their OEM look and feel) BMW Sensatec seats and dashboard. It's a 2023 530i and there are so many types of interior material that it seems a bit confusing sometimes. Thank you, and I wish you continued success! Costa
Sensatec is a form of synthetic leather. You would treat it the same as you would normal leather. Same procedures, same products. See my leather care tutorial: ruclips.net/video/YFqRpJhkqJw/видео.html
Turtle wax products are great they have sure stepped up for a reasonably priced item but I can only find some products at my local stores but they are starting to carry more and more every day thanks pan
whats with the inside job deep cleaner having ceramic in it? isnt deep cleaning and protecting at same time bad? wouldnt it dirty and grease up the protection? wouldnt it be best used as a maintinance product or after you deep cleaned with a apc or degreaser?
Great vid! I just bought a new black accord, and am considering the products this vid for maintaining and protecting the car. For the black paint, would it make the most sense use the TW ceramic acrylic black polish, then the black wax, and finally the flex wax after that?
i need some help to understand when i'm going to polish the car which product do i start with? the Ceramic crylic black polish or the 3 in 1 product first?
Hi Pan, I really like the TW Hybrid Solutions products, particularly Hyper Foam Wheel & Tire Prep as well as Pro All Wheel Cleaner + Iron Remover. I buy them in the bulk gallon size. I wish to buy a couple iK sprayers. I was thinking the iK Foamer Sprayer for the Hyper Foam Wheel & Tire Prep and an iK Multi Sprayer for the Pro All Wheel Cleaner + Iron Remover for wheel and car panels. Is that the proper sprayers for each? Am I missing something? TIA
Another great video. Thx. On a brand new car, do you think you have to prep the car (Clay bar, polish, etc) or can we just go straight to wash and coat (graphene infused polish)?
A new car is never new until it's properly detailed. - at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example. - vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc - vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements - at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches - at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat. If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well. I explain all of this in this popular video: ruclips.net/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/видео.html So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car from two of my customers: Tesla Model Y: ruclips.net/video/gohks8xP5NY/видео.html Porsche 911 Carrera: ruclips.net/video/2ckiivbFqs4/видео.html Audi Q7: ruclips.net/video/t7HCBSVnizM/видео.html

Awesome content as always. Aside from getting ceramic wax applied on my car, I've DIY'd maintenance since I got my car, applying everything I've learned from you and other detailers' vids. Since Turtlewax is readily available where I live, do you recommend any of the TurtleWax products as a topper/drying aid for ceramic coated cars?
Pan I like your videos and you explain things very well, I have to ask one thing can I use turtle graphen flex wax on top of turtle wax Ceramic hybrid solution I used the ceramic hybrid solution and I liked it but I want more protection and gloss on my black car Please suggest to me because the flexibility of using graphen flex wax and gloss looks promising
What Hybrid Ceramic solution are you talking about? They have many products in the Hybrid Solutions line. Are you talking about the Ceramic Spray Coating? That’s the one with the green on the label. Yes you can apply Flex Wax on top. But keep in mind for maximum durability you want to apply Flex Wax on a virgin clear coat. Welcome to my channel.

Yes I am talking about ceramic spray coating the one which has green colour on bottle Actually I have already applied the ceramic spray coating but my car is always parked in open area and the sun heat reaches up to 45° C in summer so i am thinking of applying flex wax as you explained that it protects from heating to a certain level due to the graphene infused in it
For the last 3 years i've relied exclusively on the TW Hybrid Solutions products to detail and maintain my Ranger bass boat's fiberglass hull which is finished with metallic gel coat. I highly recommend it to you fiberglass boat guys. Once per year I clay bar, TW Polish Wax and finish with 2 coats of TW Ceramic Spray Coating. Maintain with TW Detailer and TW Wet Wax (I use the Wet Wax on a wet hull right after pulling out of the water or sometimes with a light spray of distilled water first). The gloss and shine is not only brilliant but the ceramic properties discourage scum and make wipe downs a breeze. Also use the ceramic coating with confidence on all chrome and the windshield.

Love the videos! If using Flex as a base, are you using a topper for weekly maintenance washes? Right now I have Seal n Shine as my base and use TW Ice as a weekly topper.
You lay down the base Flex Wax coat on dry paint. After that, you can use TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wet Wax as a drying aid after washing your car. And once every other month, come back and use Flex Wax in a spray on rinse off way to boost the protection.
Really appreciate this video! Question: I have a 2023 Mazda CX-5 with a parchment leather interior. It's garage kept, basically a one-person car, no smoking, no pets, no kids. I just want to keep it nice without a LOT of fuss. What would you recommend for the minimum of products? I'm thinking: Slick-N-Slide Pure Wash or Ceramic Wash & Wax (?), Hyper Foam Wheel & Tire Cleaner, Ceramic Graphene Inside Job, Mist Glass Cleaner. What about Ceramic 3 in 1 Detailer, Mist Interior Detailer, Leather Mist? Any advice from you or your commenters appreciated!

If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well. I explain all of this in this popular video: ruclips.net/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/видео.html So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car for my customers: RS6 Avant Performance: ruclips.net/video/L5SQ0ZIJCj0/видео.htmlsi=mcQiMs9HBLlaqjGK Mercedes S 580: ruclips.net/video/Vq_tfcwryVI/видео.htmlsi=whord2_UEFSg28UW Aston Martin Vantage: ruclips.net/video/OKga3yZVTqo/видео.html Volvo XC60: ruclips.net/video/tvDBBenhYFA/видео.html Tesla Model Y: ruclips.net/video/gohks8xP5NY/видео.html Porsche 911 Carrera: ruclips.net/video/2ckiivbFqs4/видео.html Audi Q7: ruclips.net/video/t7HCBSVnizM/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for a thorough reply. I'll check out your other videos, and perhaps prices for local detailing. Honestly, it's not something I want to do myself (wax) but I do want to ensure especially the interior (leather, dash) stay nice. 🤷♀
For the interior I have a simple tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/Xx_lHXHYpLo/видео.html Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on RUclips as we surpassed 1 million subscribers and we have over 135 million views! I have been detailing for 27 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
Thanks I always enjoy and learn from your videos. I would really like to see a video about the products you use on your Porsche!! You have available to you all of the best products so I would love to see what you consider to be the best for you and your car!! You have shown us that price doesn't necessarily mean it's the best!! Thanks again and keep up the great work!!
Hi Pan, hope you are having a great day. Thanks for this video. I would just like to ask, what do you think about the turtlewax wax and dry (green bottle) for an entry level enthusiast? And how many days/weeks of protection does it cover?
I never tested its long term durability, but it's one of the best value products in the TW lineup! Don't overthink the moment when it comes to light sprays like that. A few weeks, a few months, it's hard to say as it depends on conditions and maintenance, mileage, and a bunch of factors. If you want anything with super long term durability from a spray, look at the Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax, or Gyeon CanCoat EVO.
One of thenicest and humble personalities that I follow on the internet. I always had a passion for detailing my vehicles and it revived after watching your awesome videos. Your videos are kind of therapy to me Pan. Keep up the great work and I ordered almost all of these products for my car and bike after watching your video only 🖤 much love and much respect to you Sir 🫶 Edit: quick question as well Pan, can I also use the graphene flex wax or the hybrid ceramic spray wax on my car’s PPF? Would it enhance the gloss or any further effect or should I look for any other product specifically for PPF maintainence? Any suggestions from your side will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance 😊
Thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated. :) Yes you could use those products on PPF. But there are now PPF specific coatings that are better suited for that. See my PPF coating tutorial: ruclips.net/video/7RCgqdGrvrA/видео.html And I made a recent tutorial for how to wash & maintain PPF here: ruclips.net/video/I3AszYhWhs4/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer very much appreciated Sir. Thank you for taking the time and for such a prompt response. I already did watched both of these videos and absolutely loved it. I’m starting to feel that I was an amature in taking care of my car after watching your videos and have learned a lot. Thank you again Sir.
Great overview, Pan! I have one question. I have fresh two layers of TW HS Ceramic Spray on. Can I use TW HS Flex with graphene with the rinse method to maintain the protection? Will that bond to the ceramic layers or do I need a base layer of Flex for that? Also can I put a dry Flex layer over the ceramics or I need to strip them first?
You could use Flex Wax on top, but ALWAYS start with a foundation coat of Flex Wax on dry paint for the initial application. Then you can use the spray on rinse off method for maintenance.
Hey Pan, I know a lot more listening to you! Hey, at 14:25 to 15:15: You said, "Apply the first layer - 24 hours later - the second layer." But then you said, "Two coats - an hour between coats" What does this mean? How does a 'layer' differ from a 'coat'? What is the actual sequence from the first layer's first coat to the second layer's second coat? Thank you very much
A layer or a coat is the same thing. One application if you prefer. The instructions are clearly written at the back of each product you purchase, so you can't go wrong. I always tell my viewers to make sure people read the actual instructions before they use a product for the first time. In the case of the Ceramic Spray Coating (green label), you apply one layer, wait 24 hours, apply the second layer. Wait 24 hours before washing the car again. Ideally, always wait 2 weeks before washing the car after you are done applying any ceramic protection.
Watched the whole video. I’ve come to love Turtle wax products. I use the spray and shine religiously. I’m still going through a bottle of the original formula. Question: didn’t they also have a dedicated snow foam? Thanks for all the great advice you give. 😁
The Slick n Slide shampoo can be used as a snow foam and in the buckets. You’re probably referring to the Turtle Wax ICE Snow Foam. That’s in the ICE line. In this video, I was talking about the Hybrid Solutions line.
Hi, Pan, your posted videos is like getting a therapy, just full of awesome information and thank you for sharing your experience. Please requesting your input. Living in Jax, FL and have an 2024 MDX Pear white. The car had not been washed for few weeks and had a slight discoloration. The car had a quite a few bud splatters on the bumper and on hood. Decided to hand wash the suv to remove the bug splatters, ended up buying TurtleWax Bug and Tar remover spray. Rinsed the vehicle and then applied the bug and tar remover on the affected area. Cleaned it by using a soft bristle brush so that it would not scratch the paint. To make a note the discoloration was also present on the hood of the suv. Using the soft bristle brush, the spray did lather and removed the bug splatter, to add it also cleaned, removed the discoloration and shine. I was surprised. It looks a lot brighter than rest of the vehicle. My question is, by using the bug spray on the hood will it cause any paint damage? Can the product be used on rest of the vehicle to remove the discoloration. Planning to polish n wax or take the route of getting ceramic coating on the vehicle. Please requesting your input/feedback. Thank you 🙏.
You can use the bug and tar remover on all the painted surfaces no problem. Just don’t let the product dry on the surface. If you are planning on applying a ceramic coating, the ones in glass bottles, DO NOT polish the paint with the Turtle Wax Hybird Solutions Polish n Wax as that contains protection in it and will prevent the coating from bonding correctly to the clear coat. You’d need to polish the paint using a pure polish that has zero protection in it, like Turtle Wax One & Done Compound/Polish or Sonax Perfect Finish. See my tutorial on how to properly apply a ceramic coating : ruclips.net/video/sqQYVjxFqK0/видео.html
TY Pan, I have been a huge fan of the Hybrid range since they first introduced it into Australia, sadly the latest ones re taking a long time to land here but slowly and surely they are. For me it was the "1 and Done" then the "Too The Max" and most of all the "Flex Wax" (that one made my heart leap) Doing all 3 made my old girl glow as if she was brand new and I found I got about 9 months before having to fully reapply the Flex again, I did use it about every 3rd wash as a drying aid which obviously helped the endurance but it is simply a brilliant product. Ty for the full range talk as all of their products fill that need in all of our lives as car nuts. Keep Safe Keep Strong My Friend 🦘🦘🦘💖💖🚗🚗🚗
Hi Pan , You mentioned that the graphene inf . flex wax could be used on wet paint as a drying aid. If we do this do we have no isues with our drying towels do we need to wash them more often. I've been using this on my wife's car all summer and it's great . But I've never used a drying lubricant with every wash. Would this be the best choice? Thanks Steven. Definitely going to try those interior products on my car as well
Don’t get confused. It can be used in the drying aid “STYLE”, meaning spray on a wet surface and wipe. But that is only every other month when it’s time for maintenance. You wouldn’t use Flex Wax as a drying aid after each weekly wash. It’s overkill and you might run into buildup and streaking. For drying aids to use after each wash, you can use the Turtle Wax Ceramic Wet Wax, or one from my favourite drying aids video here: ruclips.net/video/NOTNed04xYE/видео.html And yes over time, using spray protection will coat the fibers of your towels and make them less absorbant. I wash my towels after each use using a new microfiber detergent developed to remove sealants from fibers. Watch my video here: ruclips.net/video/Z7liwhyqLJI/видео.html
1. As a drying aid and to boost my base layer of Ice Seal N Shine, should I go for the Ceramic Wet Wax or the Ceramic 3 in 1 Detailer? 2. Does the Ceramic Spray Wax have UV inhibitors like the Ice Seal N Shine?
Use the Ceramic Wet Wax. Yes the Ceramic Spray Coating has UV blockers. The lead Turtle Wax chemist explained it in my Ceramic Spray Coating review here: ruclips.net/video/_r_AXaUeTIQ/видео.html
I’ve been using the TW Graphene Flex Wax spray for a few years now after a proper prep of iron decon, clay and polish. I love the durability, gloss and especially the ease of application. Spray in a MF towel and spread on the paint. Can do a whole car in less than an hour. I do get streaks sometimes probably from using too much product, but that’s because it’s hard to tell how much you’re actually putting down, it flashes off so fast. What do you think about the Pro To The Max Wax in comparison when laid down by hand with a foam applicator? It’s certainly more work what with damp buff followed by a dry buff, but it looks easier to see the product on the paint and it doesn’t look like you could over apply. Is the durability and shine comparable, or any better than the Flex Wax spray?

I am very interested on trying out the Hybrid graphene flex spray, but do I need to have an existing coat of ceramic protection before applying the product? Or can I solely just use the product and expect the same results? Big thanks from California!
Pan, I have a question about the application of ceramic polish and wax: After I hand polish my car with a soft sponge pad, do I have to let it dry, the buff off with a dry microfiber towel, then activate polymers with a damp microfiber towel and finally buff off with a dry microfiber towel? Thanks
@@PanTheOrganizer today I washed my 2021 cx-30 (polymetal grey) with Koch chemie as, decontaminating with gyeon iron x (so smelly) and clayed with bilt hamber clay. Finally polished with turtle wax hybrid polish and wax. What an amazing product! Easy to use provides depth to the color and amazing slickness! It made miracles to piano black scratched trims! Tomorrow I will apply the first layer of turtle wax ceramic spray and on Monday the second layer. Thanks for the advise!
What do you think about putting the Flex Wax on top of the 2 Black Hybrid Solutions TW products? After polishing and applying the ceramic, acrylic Black car Wax and waiting at least 24 hours between each.

I like what Turtle Wax has been doing for last few years. I had very little interest in the products (even though they had some gems all along) but now they’re marketing is on point and the products do what they claim. Love that.
Yeah they came a long way since 2019! Nice to see a family owned business for over 75 years still passionate about detailing and still innovating!
their
I've been using Turtle wax since 1977 ...over the years I'm extremely impressed of the new products that Turtle wax came out and your show is really amazing of showing what Turtle wax can do
Keep up the amazing job
Thanks Angelo!
Hard to believe how far TW has come…I use these regularly for both my car and customer cars. Easy to use with great results.
Thanks for sharing
Once again, Pan, great presentation. Clear, precise and cogent. I needed the update on Turtle Wax since the intro of their ceramic line. Thanks for your dedication and the time you take to keep us educated.
Much appreciated!
I am going to piggyback off this by thanking Pan as well I really appreciate your experience and wisdom for detailing again thank you for educating and informing us car enthusiasts!!!!
Thanks for the info. BTW on my 2 newer cars I followed your steps to prep then Max Wax and every few months after a wash I use the Flex wax as a drying aid.
This combo makes washing easy and slickness and protection is amazing.
Thanks for sharing Butch!
I switched completely to Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions detailing products and my cars look new and people complement my detailing skills. Thank you,
Thanks for sharing! What's your favourite product in their lineup Tedly?
@@PanTheOrganizer My favorite is the Hybrid Solutions paste wax.
Their Graphene interior detailer, Hyper Foam and Graphene tire dressing have made it into my regular rotation. Absolutely Phenomenal products
I agree!
I will say it again. You are BY FAR the best presenter on you tube!!! Great job!! Still love using the Flex Wax you turned me on to.. Great product! Thank you. 😊
Thanks Bruce! I appreciate the kind words.
Hi Pan, I used the Graphene To the Max Wax for the first time today. When it says to remove with a damp towel you BETTER use a damp towel otherwise you'll never get it off (btw, I did it by hand). I'll be using the Graphene Tire Shine coating tomorrow.
Thanks for watching!
Turtle wax has always been a great line. Their new Hybrid solution looks great especially their ceramic spray coating. Made the Toyota glossy 🤩 I remember I bought my first wax that was from Turtle wax for my first car 13 years ago “Ice wax” they discontinued the product and and I’ve still got the tub with enough to do 4 cars. I’ve got their Ceramic paste wax to try out as you said it brings back the memories back in the days ‘wax on, wax off’
I loved the turtle wax ice the bottle of the clear stuff! It was first wax I used could put it on everything no white residue and so easy to apply and remove.
@@BXGreen_DrivewayDetails I remember the product!! Brings back memories. I think we’re showing our age 🤣
Love Turtle wax! When I started my detailing journey I use to stick to meguiars, then I learned about chemical guys then I moved to turtle wax and gotta say turtle wax has really outdone others!
Thanks for sharing your experience Christian!
I second that!!
I had a similar experience, Meguiar's in the beginning but now I'm a die hard Turtle Wax fan!
I NEVER get tired of watching this video!! Have seen it DOZENS of times, now! Awesome presentation of FABULOUS products!! Simply stellar!!! Oh, and TW's Graphene Flex Wax is the biggest gem in their Hybrid Solutions line in my opinion, too!! Thanks for posting!
Thanks Chelsa! The Flex Wax is also one of my favourites in their lineup.
Ten years ago turtle wax was not my first choice, now for the everyday person who likes to keep up their car now it is slowly taking over in my garage
Yup! They have been releasing hit, after hit, after hit!
I have been using these products for 9 months, since I bought my new car with Pearlescent paint. The depth of colour, shine and slickness is awesome. The paint looks 'wet' when I have finished... All credit to Turtle Wax for their innovation. Brilliant product!!! Great Video Pan, many thanks...
Thanks for sharing your real world experience Matt! What's your favourite product in their lineup?
@@PanTheOrganizer Hey Pan, I would say the Flex Wax, followed by Slick and Slide which I use in my foam canon. I like the trigger on the Leather and Glass cleaners as well!
Awesome brand review of truly a common man product. Ease of use, durability, value for Money!
Thanks!
I know that Turtle Wax had gotten a bad rap over the years; however, I owe the longevity (no fade or cracking) of my 34yo dashboard in my '88 IROC to having used a TW protectant for many years. While the name alludes me, it was a clear product in a spray bottle. I have started using the Hybrid Solutions line--thanks to your videos--and hope to get another 34 years (I wish!) out of the car. I use the Flex Wax as a drying agent on all of our cars which I had ceramic coated with Armor Shield IX last year.
Their Hybrid Solutions line is now class leading in my opinion. They did a complete brand turnaround in 2019 and have been releasing hit after hit! :)
Great video! I have been exclusively using the TW Hybrid line of products and have not been disappointed by a single one!
Thanks Mike! What's your favourite product in their lineup?
@@PanTheOrganizer seal & shine has been my go to topper for awhile now. Based on your tests I think going to give either the Flex Wax or the Ceramic Spray Coating a try!
@@PanTheOrganizer if you had to chose a topper (I’m currently using the TW ceramic +graphene paste wax) which would choose? TW spray Flex Wax or the TW ceramic spray coating?
Used Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Hyperfoam Wheel Cleaner and Tire Prep today - Wow was a great product - worked real well on the tire grime and made rims look real good -
Thanks for sharing
A couple of days ago I used the turtle wax graphine flex wax for the first time and the car has been sitting in the garage since to allow curing. I had purchased extreme solutions as per your recommendation. Would there be a benefit applying extreme solution on top?
You could use the Xtreme Solutions Topper as a maintenance product sure. It will boost gloss and slickness.
I have a 2014 Ram 1500 Lonestar crew cab in deep cherry pearlcoat. I keep it in the garage. I was wanting to find something that would bring life to the color of my truck. I came across your videos and I decided to try the 75th Turtle Wax paste wax. I followed your steps before putting this wax on my truck. Washed and dried the truck, and put it in the garage. Then I used a clay bar and lubercant and started. Took me me a while to get the hang of using the clay bar and solution, but once I got the hang of clay baring the truck, the process was fast. It did get the dirt out of the paint. sprayed with water and wiped off the clay lubercant dry. Then I started with the wax. This smells really nice, and went on very smooth. The Magic was when I buffed out the residue. The shine is remarkable!! Thank you so much for highly recommending this wax. THIS WAX WORKS!! The truck looks like it did when I got it off the showroom floor. Thanks you your recommendation.
That's awesome Steve! Thanks for sharing your real world experience with us. And yes a good wax gives a nice "pop" to colors and your paint must feel super smooth now that you also decontaminated it! Good job.
I love the ceramic wet wax and use it all the time for maintenance washes from reviews on your channel. Next I'd like to try the graphene. Love your content!
@@jayhoughton558 I figured that which is why I am hesitant to try the graphene. The wet wax is so easy
Stick with the Wet Wax. Easier to use and same or better longevity.
None of the TW Graphene products are better than their Ceramic counterparts IME.
Thanks Michael! If you try Graphene Flex Wax, you will love it for sure. It's my favourite in their lineup.
@@PanTheOrganizer I'll be trying that out! Thanks Pan!

Hi Pan, thanks for another great video. One confusing topic I hope you can cover in a future video is choosing and using machine polishing pads. With all the options available I know it’s a complex subject, but would be great to have the main issues explained in your usual clear and concise style.
I made a video on my favourite pads, compounds and polishes combos here: ruclips.net/video/2JDvQBs1viM/видео.html
Thanks Pan, I have had a look at the video - very useful, although you didn’t discuss wool pads. Any thoughts on wool pads? Your video refers to the 3D One product and you said that you may still want to have a polishing stage after using 3D if you want the best possible finish - would you use Sonax Perfect Finish for this stage? Thanks
After seeing your video a couple of months ago, I purchased the Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Polish and Wax. My rating: BEST WAX PRODUCT EVER! Dang it's just that good. Used it today for the first time on my Mercedes SL and it was fantastic. Applying it is almost like putting cream on the paint. Smooth. Easy to take off and polish as well. Highly recommended and the shine is something else.
Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow! Turtle Wax has really come a long way since our Dad's old tub of paste wax!
There seems to be a LOT of overlap in this line though, and that can lead to some customer confusion. So, for a white SUV with tan leather interior, could you pick out a simplified product list? Also, would you use this Turtle Wax line over the Meguire's Hybrid line?
Thanks so much!

@@PanTheOrganizer If you don't mind me asking, do you recommend using the grqphene flex wax as a topper for Adam's Graphene Ceramic Coating?
Can we use the graphene flex wax on exterior plastics?
Thank you!
Yes to both questions
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan. Appreciate the promptness in the reply.
Keep up the amazing work!
The only product I had ever used from Turtle Wax was the Oxidation/Water Spot Remover. I honestly didn't know they made other products besides waxes until a year ago. I used their Ice Seal N Shine on my dad's neglected 2001 Jeep GC, I only did the hood as a tester and it's held up great!
Only critique I have is regarding the polish+protect 24 hour cure time before washing or adding protection. Unless it's a garage kept vehicle, you will be forced to remove the layer of dust/dirt before applying protection. It is not terrible, but it is a deal breaker for me. I would stick with traditional wash, decon, polish, IPA wipe, and protection in the same day
Thanks for sharing!
Great video!!! I've learned a lot from your channel, thanks for the quality content. 🚘
Glad to hear it!
Got the 50th Anniversary Graphene paste wax and used it as my base protection and use the Graphene spray wax as my topper, works fantastic, looks great! The spray Wet Wax in the yellow label bottle is, in my opinion, the best bang for the buck, considering the awesome slickness ,deep look to the paint and ease of use for about $13 bucks!
Thanks for sharing! Keep in mind you got the 75th anniversary paste wax, not the 50th. They celebrated over 75 years as a family owned business. What an achievement! :)
@@PanTheOrganizer i stand corrected...the old brain ain't what it used to be! Thanks for your channel Pan!!!
My pleasure David! 😁👍🏻
I would love to hear how long that combination lasts. Do you have snow where you live?
@@henrysmith180 I do a basic one-step, dual action polisher, paint correction with a hand applied paste wax base coat every spring. I use the spray wet wax after each wash. We only get a few inches of snow right here, but lots of rain!

Pan, Based on this video I picked up some 3 in1 detailer and you are right! It takes care of the light (and even not-so-light) dirt with ease. Our weather recently changed and I drove in some light rain so the water spots were out in full force. A few sprays of this per panel and it looks like I spent hours waxing my Jeep. Seriously, great stuff. And the smell isn't bad either :)
Thanks for the feedback Randy!
Terrific video Pan. I have used EVERY one of these products and have been at the least very satisfied! With that being said, the availability, value, ease of use and end results of their products are an equation that puts Turtle Wax at the top of the game.
I'd also throw in that their "green line" STILL has many excellent products as well.
Shine on you crazy diamonds!

What's your top favourite product in their lineup by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer all of them? Lol!! Hmmmm...for my personal use on my red GTI the Paste wax-FLEX combo is just killer. The Inside Job and Graphene Tire dressing get it done respectively...that is as close as I can narrow it down Pan thx!

What’s your favourite product in their lineup so far?
Thank you!Has anyone know if these line magnetized dust ? For me ceramic wash&wax are different world after regular shampoo almost no foam and i love that
I don't understand your question... What do you mean by "line magnetized dust"?
@@PanTheOrganizerHello. Ceramic spray &wax line)if this product attracts more dust than other similar products. It's just that nobody pays attention to this or it's not so important?Thank you
I don’t have any dust issues where I live so it really depends on your conditions and environment.
But I did not get feedback from my viewers that say that these products attract dust.
Big fan of their wheel and tire cleaner. Do you happen to know the proper dilution ratio for the concentrated gallon sized container? I’m guessing 1:1? Thanks, Pan!
To my knowledge, it's not meant to be diluted. It's a ready to use formula.
However, some have tested in a foaming pump sprayer like this: amzn.to/3NgTWyF
And they bought the gallon size of Hyper Foam, used straight for heavy duty, 1:1 dilution for medium duty and 1:2 for light duty and had great results. Do some testing and see what works best for you.
Turtle wax hybrid lineup is the best for me!!! Price vs quality vs ease of use.
Thanks for watching George! What's your favourite product in their lineup?
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you for the reply! I started using turtle wax ages ago based on your videos and I absolutely loved them!!! My favorite is TW Wet Wax because it never streaks and it protects all exterior surfaces! I really like Flex wax as well. Sometimes I will use it weekly as I really like the slickness it’s the best of all their products but I’m worried I would layer it too much and it will be hard to remove it when it’s time for a quick polish job. And for interior I love the inside job! It’s super easy to use again and the results are amazing. Thank you for recommending TW! What a great great product. I gave TW wet wax bottles as presents to all of my friends that love their cars and everyone now is a fan!
Hello, thanks for the great video but i have one question.
You say '' When you done with these polishes you wait 24 hours then you can start applying your ceramic spray coating'' 15:56
And to get the best result we have to apply ceramic spray coating 1 more time after 24 hours without washing the car. So the total process will take 48 hours.
I have a lots of dust in my area and raining too, what should i do if i see dirt on my car (dust mixed with rain) ? Should i wash again and restart the process or what ?
I would be really happy if you answer it.
Have a nice one.
So nice. I love turtlewax since i watched ur vid about flexwex.(it was my first video from u)
I tried the ceramic spray wax but i like the flex a bit better. I have to buy one next week again since its empty.
Also i will try like u sad woth the pastewax first then flex on top.
I did got some streakings aswell. Mostly when i did it in the shade it looked perfect but whem i went out in the sun i could see streakings.
Maybe i used it wrong. I used an applicator and did 2 sprays per panel but i never changed the applicator in between.
Also the tire cleaner and coating looks very interesting aswell.
I might get those too.
I also prefer the Graphene Flex Wax. It's my favourite in their lineup so far.
This is awesome Pan! I recently transitioned from other various products to the complete Hybrid line. My customers and I love the results. Thanks for a very informative post sir!
Thanks for watching Keith!
@PanTheOrganizer, has any of there products you demo-ed, been updated or any new products from TW come out since this video came out? There Hybrid line is up there with many of the boutique brands. I became a believer when I tested it against one of my favorite maintenance wheel and tire cleaners. There Hybrid wheel and tire prep really gets the tire nice and deep black even when there's lots of browning on the tires. Thanks for highlighting TW products !!
Hopefully this gets a reply a
being an older video, but I have a question Pan. I'm going to be resetting my black VW Atlas's paint, full decon, polish and protect route I was planning on using TW HS Ceramic Graphene paste wax as a base and ending with ADS Amplify, but my question is: Do you think I should us TW HS Flex Wax, Ice Seal & Shine, TW HS Black Ceramic Acrylic or TW HS plain Ceramic as a topper and refresh every few months with using my Amplify for maintenance? Or just us my ADS Amplify as my topper and also for the maintenance washes?
Thanks for sharing Pan, a lot of useful information here. TW has come a long way with their products, and provides good value for the price. Thanks again for sharing, and keep up the great work!
Thanks Clint!
Mr Pan,
We appreciate your time and thorough coverage of the Turtle Wax Hybrid line of products.
Thanks I appreciate it!
I felt Turtle Wax was on to something when they came out with the Ice line around 2006/7(?)
The Ice Paste was really strong with great water behavior - which at the time (2008) meant a lot to me, because the Zymol I was using didn't hold up all that long. The Ice Paste would hold up MUCH longer.
I also used their "Premuim Grade" Rubbing and Polishing Compounds. They were very easy to use, and produced excellent results.
Again, this was back in spring of 08 when I got back into detailing after splitting up with my fiancé. During the five years I was with her, I didn't do much detailing. I think her mom's car was the only on I did with my first set of Wen Rotary buffer. Megs pads, Meg's M02, M09, and M26. When I got back into detailing I started checking out the Turtle.
Today I'm mostly using Optimum for personal and professional use, but I still like Turtle Wax and am glad to see how they've grown.
I also remember buying a bunch of Turtle Wax Vision Auto Polish. It's sheeting ability was part of the marketing as well as some type of synthetic component, like Tedlon or something similar. Wal Mart was blowing them out for a dollar per kit! I bought them all fall of 1997, and still have one!
Hey Pan, this was awesome, thank you.
I have a question about the Wheel Cleaner and Iron Remover products. What about the wheels that are painted or powder-coated aluminum? I have heard that anything other than mild detergents is not good for them. AT 8:19, the tire dressing is impressive. I lent a car cover to someone and whatever he had on his wheels got all over the cover at the bottom. It was a greasy mess that didn't come out in the commercial washing machine. I have been using Armoural tire spray foam on my tires up until now. I like the matt or satin finish for tires. I also like the water beading the Turtle Wax produces.
This appears to be a good system, easy to use and effective. I really like the paste wax though, as that is what I was used to some years ago.
At 28:24 can you use the Wet Wax over something called "Forever Black"? It is to restore the fading of bumper parts on classic Mercedes cars that are black.
TTYL
I absolutely love the hybrid solutions line I own almost all of them and get genuinely excited to use them
Thanks for watching! What's your favourite product in their lineup?
@@PanTheOrganizer Currently my favorite is the paste wax I have not gotten a chance to use it yet but watching your videos made me excited to use it more than any of the other hybrid solutions products.
Pan, can’t thank you enough. All those products are in my Amazon shopping cart now. Will buy them one by one and use them as suggested on the packaging. 🙏🏽
Enjoy!
Pam, your videos are awesome...two questions on the Precision Platelet compound...1. What would be the recommended level of abrasion for a old car? (volvo xc90 2011 silver), 2. Can i use an orbital sander with the right abrasive pad/foam to apply it?
There is no magical combination. You have to do test spots on your specific paint, to find the appropriate compounding polish and pad combo for your desired defect removal and finish on your specific paint.
Two questions: 1. When you say wait 24 hours to wash vehicle after applying the spray waxed etc; do you mean you must wash them 24 hours after or are you saying if you are going to wash you must wait 24 hours? 2. The iron Decon product, could you use this on the body as a Decon prior to waxing or is there specific products just for that? On a budget and looking for multiple purpose products, is it safe to use their decon product for that? Thanks for all the info and wisdom you give away, we’re all grateful!
I'm confused by your question. The instructions are clear. After you apply the Ceramic Spray Coating, you have to wait at least 24 hours before you wash your car again. You don't have to wash the car after 24 hours though. I would actually recommend that people wait one full week before washing the car again.
The Iron Decon & Wheel Cleaner can be used on the paintwork as well, to remove iron particles and brake dust that's embedded in the clear coat. So yes you can wash your car, then rinse, then use the Iron Decon for chemical decontamination, and then you can also clay the paint if needed, machine polish to remove scratches and swirls, and then apply the protection once all the steps are done.
Hi i always watch mostly your videos. Im really fan. Its very informative. I just want to ask. I have a ceramic coated my car. Can i use a hybrid graphene turtle on it? More power to your channel

Good video Pan. Turtle Wax saw the writing on the wall a few years ago when the market was flooded with products from hundreds of different companies and decided to "up their game" so to speak with the hybrid solutions line. I have a few of them and the ones I do have work very well. The hybrid solutions line is pretty reasonably priced too and can be found quite easily locally at the Auto Parts stores and most of the larger retailers across the USA. For anyone looking for very solid products, reasonably priced, easy availability, and the fact they work well, cannot go wrong with the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions line up.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience Joe! What is your favourite product in their lineup currently?
@@PanTheOrganizer From the stuff I currently have, the Ceramic Spray Coating. Only cost me about $13. I use it as a topper after washing to top up the protection. Also works great for a very quick top up on the protection on rims too.
Another awesome video brutha! thanks for all your hard work keeping us up to date! Love it!
My pleasure!!
I am new to derailing, I just started maintaining my car after years of neglect and ignorance. Your channel has been a great source of knowledge. I found the abundance of products very confusing to me as newby. This video will be my best reference and I will stick with TW.

How did you discover my channel by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you Pan for the kind response.
Your channel popped up as I was searching for a solution to fix the yellow rusty small spots. I knew nothing about the iron remover.
Your first video that came up was 101 detailing. Aftet that I got hooked to your channel. :) and watched lot more.
My wife's car never looked better specifically after I applied the TW ice seal n shine. :)
I started using Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine on my white car here in India after your recommendation. Man! It is a legendary product and so vfm!
Thanks for the feedback. Yes it's a good inexpensive spray sealant.
Hi, I'm going to do the full wash, decontamination, polish/paint correction. I bought Turtle wax ceramic spray and paste wax after watching your videos on them. Should I use the ceramic spray as my base or the wax? Thank you for your time.
Turtle Wax recommends a base layer of the Ceramic + Graphene paste wax first, and then you apply the Graphene Flex Wax on top.
If you are planning to use the Ceramic Spray Coating instead, perhaps reach out to Turtle Wax and ask them if that combination is ok.
Another great video Pan. I’ve recently started using TW products and they are definitely NOT the TW that I grew up with. Keep up the great work Pan!!!
Can the Graphene Flex be used on top of Seal N Shine? And, can Restart Wash be used on a vehicle coated with Seal N Shine? I’d like to try the Flex Wax and after this video…I’m going out to buy some. Thx again.
Hi Brian! Yeah Turtle Wax had a revolution when they introduced the ICE line, and then they became a staple in the detailing world when they released their higher end Hybrid Solutions line in 2019 and have been releasing hit after hit since then!
Yes you can apply the Graphene Flex Wax on top of pretty much any Turtle Wax protection. It's best used as a base layer when possible (as it does last longer than Seal N Shine) but it's fine to be used as a topper. As long as you apply the first foundation coat on dry paint.
Did you watch my Flex Wax review and application tutorial? Here: ruclips.net/video/b5BjDzItlr8/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks so much Pan. I checked out your other video on Flex wax as well.
😉
What do you do with your towels after wiping off the tire dressing? Can you wash them with your other microfibers that are reserved for painted surfaces?
Hi Pan! Thank you for the amazing detailed reviews and how-to-use details. Pan, I would like your opinion on what is the best way to clean and protect (bring back their OEM look and feel) BMW Sensatec seats and dashboard. It's a 2023 530i and there are so many types of interior material that it seems a bit confusing sometimes. Thank you, and I wish you continued success! Costa
Sensatec is a form of synthetic leather. You would treat it the same as you would normal leather. Same procedures, same products. See my leather care tutorial: ruclips.net/video/YFqRpJhkqJw/видео.html

Simply Grateful. 👍
Thanks, I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful!
Turtle wax products are great they have sure stepped up for a reasonably priced item but I can only find some products at my local stores but they are starting to carry more and more every day thanks pan
Thanks Corey!
whats with the inside job deep cleaner having ceramic in it? isnt deep cleaning and protecting at same time bad? wouldnt it dirty and grease up the protection? wouldnt it be best used as a maintinance product or after you deep cleaned with a apc or degreaser?
Great vid! I just bought a new black accord, and am considering the products this vid for maintaining and protecting the car. For the black paint, would it make the most sense use the TW ceramic acrylic black polish, then the black wax, and finally the flex wax after that?
You can skip the black spray wax and just use Flex Wax. It’s better and lasts longer.
i need some help to understand when i'm going to polish the car which product do i start with?
the Ceramic crylic black polish or the 3 in 1 product first?
Hi Pan,
I really like the TW Hybrid Solutions products, particularly Hyper Foam Wheel & Tire Prep as well as Pro All Wheel Cleaner + Iron Remover. I buy them in the bulk gallon size. I wish to buy a couple iK sprayers. I was thinking the iK Foamer Sprayer for the Hyper Foam Wheel & Tire Prep and an iK Multi Sprayer for the Pro All Wheel Cleaner + Iron Remover for wheel and car panels.
Is that the proper sprayers for each? Am I missing something?
TIA
So with the spray coatings and liquid polishers will it give that off white haze on rubber like the ones on jeep wranglers and lower window seals
Another great video. Thx.
On a brand new car, do you think you have to prep the car (Clay bar, polish, etc) or can we just go straight to wash and coat (graphene infused polish)?
A new car is never new until it's properly detailed.
- at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example.
- vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc
- vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements
- at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches
- at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat.
If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well.
I explain all of this in this popular video: ruclips.net/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/видео.html
So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car from two of my customers:

Thanks Gary!
Awesome content as always. Aside from getting ceramic wax applied on my car, I've DIY'd maintenance since I got my car, applying everything I've learned from you and other detailers' vids.
Since Turtlewax is readily available where I live, do you recommend any of the TurtleWax products as a topper/drying aid for ceramic coated cars?
The Ceramic Wet Wax is a good drying aid for coated vehicles.
Pan I like your videos and you explain things very well,
I have to ask one thing can I use turtle graphen flex wax on top of turtle wax Ceramic hybrid solution
I used the ceramic hybrid solution and I liked it but I want more protection and gloss on my black car
Please suggest to me because the flexibility of using graphen flex wax and gloss looks promising
What Hybrid Ceramic solution are you talking about? They have many products in the Hybrid Solutions line. Are you talking about the Ceramic Spray Coating? That’s the one with the green on the label.
Yes you can apply Flex Wax on top. But keep in mind for maximum durability you want to apply Flex Wax on a virgin clear coat.

Actually I have already applied the ceramic spray coating but my car is always parked in open area and the sun heat reaches up to 45° C in summer so i am thinking of applying flex wax as you explained that it protects from heating to a certain level due to the graphene infused in it
TW Hybrid Solutions is amazing! In my arsenal, I use Hyperfoam, Rapid Decon, ceramic spray wax, and Graphene Acrylic tire shine. I may try more
Cool! What's your favourite in the lineup?
@@PanTheOrganizer all 4 lol
For the last 3 years i've relied exclusively on the TW Hybrid Solutions products to detail and maintain my Ranger bass boat's fiberglass hull which is finished with metallic gel coat. I highly recommend it to you fiberglass boat guys. Once per year I clay bar, TW Polish Wax and finish with 2 coats of TW Ceramic Spray Coating. Maintain with TW Detailer and TW Wet Wax (I use the Wet Wax on a wet hull right after pulling out of the water or sometimes with a light spray of distilled water first). The gloss and shine is not only brilliant but the ceramic properties discourage scum and make wipe downs a breeze. Also use the ceramic coating with confidence on all chrome and the windshield.

Thanks Pan, what a great video on Turtle Wax products and as always I love to hear your thoughts on products before I want to test them for myself👌
I appreciate the value you place in my opinion Mann!
Love the videos! If using Flex as a base, are you using a topper for weekly maintenance washes? Right now I have Seal n Shine as my base and use TW Ice as a weekly topper.
You lay down the base Flex Wax coat on dry paint. After that, you can use TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wet Wax as a drying aid after washing your car.
And once every other month, come back and use Flex Wax in a spray on rinse off way to boost the protection.
Really appreciate this video! Question: I have a 2023 Mazda CX-5 with a parchment leather interior. It's garage kept, basically a one-person car, no smoking, no pets, no kids. I just want to keep it nice without a LOT of fuss. What would you recommend for the minimum of products? I'm thinking: Slick-N-Slide Pure Wash or Ceramic Wash & Wax (?), Hyper Foam Wheel & Tire Cleaner, Ceramic Graphene Inside Job, Mist Glass Cleaner. What about Ceramic 3 in 1 Detailer, Mist Interior Detailer, Leather Mist? Any advice from you or your commenters appreciated!

Hi Pan, hope you are having a great day. Thanks for this video. I would just like to ask, what do you think about the turtlewax wax and dry (green bottle) for an entry level enthusiast? And how many days/weeks of protection does it cover?
I never tested its long term durability, but it's one of the best value products in the TW lineup! Don't overthink the moment when it comes to light sprays like that. A few weeks, a few months, it's hard to say as it depends on conditions and maintenance, mileage, and a bunch of factors.
If you want anything with super long term durability from a spray, look at the Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax, or Gyeon CanCoat EVO.
Thank you for your time and input Pan. I appreciate it a lot. All the best to you!
One of thenicest and humble personalities that I follow on the internet. I always had a passion for detailing my vehicles and it revived after watching your awesome videos. Your videos are kind of therapy to me Pan. Keep up the great work and I ordered almost all of these products for my car and bike after watching your video only 🖤 much love and much respect to you Sir 🫶 Edit: quick question as well Pan, can I also use the graphene flex wax or the hybrid ceramic spray wax on my car’s PPF? Would it enhance the gloss or any further effect or should I look for any other product specifically for PPF maintainence? Any suggestions from your side will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance 😊
Thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated. :)
Yes you could use those products on PPF. But there are now PPF specific coatings that are better suited for that. See my PPF coating tutorial: ruclips.net/video/7RCgqdGrvrA/видео.html

Great overview, Pan! I have one question. I have fresh two layers of TW HS Ceramic Spray on. Can I use TW HS Flex with graphene with the rinse method to maintain the protection? Will that bond to the ceramic layers or do I need a base layer of Flex for that? Also can I put a dry Flex layer over the ceramics or I need to strip them first?
You could use Flex Wax on top, but ALWAYS start with a foundation coat of Flex Wax on dry paint for the initial application. Then you can use the spray on rinse off method for maintenance.
Hey Pan,
I know a lot more listening to you!
Hey, at 14:25 to 15:15:
You said, "Apply the first layer - 24 hours later - the second layer."
But then you said, "Two coats - an hour between coats"
What does this mean? How does a 'layer' differ from a 'coat'?
What is the actual sequence from the first layer's first coat to the second layer's second coat?
Thank you very much
A layer or a coat is the same thing. One application if you prefer. The instructions are clearly written at the back of each product you purchase, so you can't go wrong. I always tell my viewers to make sure people read the actual instructions before they use a product for the first time.
In the case of the Ceramic Spray Coating (green label), you apply one layer, wait 24 hours, apply the second layer. Wait 24 hours before washing the car again. Ideally, always wait 2 weeks before washing the car after you are done applying any ceramic protection.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you Pan. Cheers
Watched the whole video. I’ve come to love Turtle wax products. I use the spray and shine religiously. I’m still going through a bottle of the original formula. Question: didn’t they also have a dedicated snow foam? Thanks for all the great advice you give. 😁
The Slick n Slide shampoo can be used as a snow foam and in the buckets.
You’re probably referring to the Turtle Wax ICE Snow Foam. That’s in the ICE line.
In this video, I was talking about the Hybrid Solutions line.
@@PanTheOrganizer gotcha. Hard to believe they still have even more products than this! 😆
Oh they have hundreds more in their other lines (green line and ICE line).
As always...great video pan! Can you apply the graphene flex wax on top of the ceramic black wax?
Yes. You can apply Flex Wax on top of pretty much any Turtle Wax existing protection.
Thanks Pan...Wondering could I use the black polish, then apply the ceramic paste wax?
Yes. Wait 24 hours after the polish before applying any protection though.
Hi, Pan, your posted videos is like getting a therapy, just full of awesome information and thank you for sharing your experience. Please requesting your input. Living in Jax, FL and have an 2024 MDX Pear white. The car had not been washed for few weeks and had a slight discoloration. The car had a quite a few bud splatters on the bumper and on hood. Decided to hand wash the suv to remove the bug splatters, ended up buying TurtleWax Bug and Tar remover spray. Rinsed the vehicle and then applied the bug and tar remover on the affected area. Cleaned it by using a soft bristle brush so that it would not scratch the paint. To make a note the discoloration was also present on the hood of the suv. Using the soft bristle brush, the spray did lather and removed the bug splatter, to add it also cleaned, removed the discoloration and shine. I was surprised. It looks a lot brighter than rest of the vehicle. My question is, by using the bug spray on the hood will it cause any paint damage? Can the product be used on rest of the vehicle to remove the discoloration. Planning to polish n wax or take the route of getting ceramic coating on the vehicle. Please requesting your input/feedback. Thank you 🙏.
You can use the bug and tar remover on all the painted surfaces no problem. Just don’t let the product dry on the surface.
If you are planning on applying a ceramic coating, the ones in glass bottles, DO NOT polish the paint with the Turtle Wax Hybird Solutions Polish n Wax as that contains protection in it and will prevent the coating from bonding correctly to the clear coat.
You’d need to polish the paint using a pure polish that has zero protection in it, like Turtle Wax One & Done Compound/Polish or Sonax Perfect Finish.
See my tutorial on how to properly apply a ceramic coating : ruclips.net/video/sqQYVjxFqK0/видео.html
Thank you so much for responding and your guidance, really appreciate your time. Thank you once again.
I do have a question for you after I put the flex wax on I maintain with the ceramic is that a good idea
TY Pan, I have been a huge fan of the Hybrid range since they first introduced it into Australia, sadly the latest ones re taking a long time to land here but slowly and surely they are. For me it was the "1 and Done" then the "Too The Max" and most of all the "Flex Wax" (that one made my heart leap) Doing all 3 made my old girl glow as if she was brand new and I found I got about 9 months before having to fully reapply the Flex again, I did use it about every 3rd wash as a drying aid which obviously helped the endurance but it is simply a brilliant product. Ty for the full range talk as all of their products fill that need in all of our lives as car nuts.
Keep Safe Keep Strong My Friend 🦘🦘🦘💖💖🚗🚗🚗
Did you check out the official Turtle Wax Australia website? Here: www.turtlewax.com.au/turtle-wax-hybrid-solutions/

Hi Pan.. could you advise me on your choice of oil free small compressor I can use with my Tornador air blow gun to clean my buffing pads. Thanks
This one is the most recommended oil-free air compressor for use with Tornador guns by detailers: amzn.to/3bxb4Dj
Hi Pan , You mentioned that the graphene inf . flex wax could be used on wet paint as a drying aid. If we do this do we have no isues with our drying towels do we need to wash them more often.
I've been using this on my wife's car all summer and it's great . But I've never used a drying lubricant with every wash. Would this be the best choice? Thanks Steven. Definitely going to try those interior products on my car as well
Don’t get confused. It can be used in the drying aid “STYLE”, meaning spray on a wet surface and wipe. But that is only every other month when it’s time for maintenance.
You wouldn’t use Flex Wax as a drying aid after each weekly wash. It’s overkill and you might run into buildup and streaking.
For drying aids to use after each wash, you can use the Turtle Wax Ceramic Wet Wax, or one from my favourite drying aids video here: ruclips.net/video/NOTNed04xYE/видео.html
And yes over time, using spray protection will coat the fibers of your towels and make them less absorbant. I wash my towels after each use using a new microfiber detergent developed to remove sealants from fibers. Watch my video here: ruclips.net/video/Z7liwhyqLJI/видео.html
1. As a drying aid and to boost my base layer of Ice Seal N Shine, should I go for the Ceramic Wet Wax or the Ceramic 3 in 1 Detailer?
2. Does the Ceramic Spray Wax have UV inhibitors like the Ice Seal N Shine?
Use the Ceramic Wet Wax.
Yes the Ceramic Spray Coating has UV blockers. The lead Turtle Wax chemist explained it in my Ceramic Spray Coating review here: ruclips.net/video/_r_AXaUeTIQ/видео.html
I’ve been using the TW Graphene Flex Wax spray for a few years now after a proper prep of iron decon, clay and polish. I love the durability, gloss and especially the ease of application. Spray in a MF towel and spread on the paint. Can do a whole car in less than an hour. I do get streaks sometimes probably from using too much product, but that’s because it’s hard to tell how much you’re actually putting down, it flashes off so fast.
What do you think about the Pro To The Max Wax in comparison when laid down by hand with a foam applicator? It’s certainly more work what with damp buff followed by a dry buff, but it looks easier to see the product on the paint and it doesn’t look like you could over apply. Is the durability and shine comparable, or any better than the Flex Wax spray?
Suddenly I have the urge to watch a video from Pan, dunno why 😆
I'll heat my lunch and come back to enjoy the show. 👍
😁🙌🏻 Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on RUclips as we surpassed 780,000 subscribers and are getting close to 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
I am very interested on trying out the Hybrid graphene flex spray, but do I need to have an existing coat of ceramic protection before applying the product? Or can I solely just use the product and expect the same results?
Big thanks from California!
Thanks Pan for going through the entire line. What about carpets and fabric seats? Do you have a favorite?
They don’t have anything for that yet in the Hybrid Solutions line.
Pan, I have a question about the application of ceramic polish and wax: After I hand polish my car with a soft sponge pad, do I have to let it dry, the buff off with a dry microfiber towel, then activate polymers with a damp microfiber towel and finally buff off with a dry microfiber towel? Thanks
See how the Turtle Wax chemist applies the polish n wax in my video here: ruclips.net/video/wzosAP5A_1g/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer today I washed my 2021 cx-30 (polymetal grey) with Koch chemie as, decontaminating with gyeon iron x (so smelly) and clayed with bilt hamber clay. Finally polished with turtle wax hybrid polish and wax. What an amazing product! Easy to use provides depth to the color and amazing slickness! It made miracles to piano black scratched trims! Tomorrow I will apply the first layer of turtle wax ceramic spray and on Monday the second layer. Thanks for the advise!
What do you think about putting the Flex Wax on top of the 2 Black Hybrid Solutions TW products? After polishing and applying the ceramic, acrylic Black car Wax and waiting at least 24 hours between each.
I would simply use Flex Wax instead of the Black Spray Wax. No need for both, and Flex Wax lasts longer.
@Pan The Organizer Thanks Pan! Thank you for your videos. I've learned so much and achieved some great results so far.
