Excellence in motion. Great real world review. Water is by design part of the whole Turtle 🐢 Wax Ceramic line. It activates the finishing characteristics according to TW when I wrote them. I love it. Your work was so fast and effective and the polish really worked well. "That looks incredible" comment on the rear window/roof panel was totally right. That is hard to believe how fast you got that level of results. Another great too on using a spritz of water, that is definitely now in my routines and it makes so much sense. Thanks.
Hi Miranda detailing.. You guys are doing great job.. I love watching your car detailing updates.. I would appreciate if you could do a detailed review about polishing pads their Colours and uses..and stages of using different pads..or which pad to use as a SOP? And yes a review on the professional grade polisher..will make my day. Thanks..and keep up the good work.
It works great on dark colored paint, not just black. I just used it on an 18 year old truck with dark ford blue metallic paint. The truck was left in the sun for 10 years (stored in the backyard non-op) without any protection, which left the clearcoat with thousands of hairline cracks. The paint is practically in a junkyard condition. I did a full prep, strip wash, iron decon and clay barred. I wanted to test how well the polish work without compounding it 1st. I was surprise! This stuff works like a true 1 step. It did not completely remove/fill the hairline cracks, but at least now you cant see it unless you're within a couple feet and really looking. I am now going to do the rest of the truck without compounding it. The protection is also their, it is very slick to the touch like your typical Si02. It is deep and rich like a carnauba wax. I am very impress! It also works better using less, less is more! I typically use 2-3 dime size dots (after priming foam) on my foam polishing pad using other brand, but TW black polish would cake, it was a mess. I find 2-3 pea size dots was just right. I will be topping it with black wax after 24 hours.
Oh yeh totally! This works on any dark paint! That’s awesome to hear that it made that poor neglected paint so glossy and slick! I love one step products like this for trashed vehicles.
I'm glad you mentioned that you can use the Black Spray Wax after using the "regular" HS Ceramic Polish & Wax, that's what I think I'm going to do on my Camaro. It's in the body shop right now for a little fender bender and I KNOW it's going to come back swirled up (don't they always), and I just might try the HS Black Spray wax after re-polishing it with the HS Ceramic Polish & Wax.
You just made my day with this great investigation and results. Eager to get these products in Black since still waiting for the non Black version to be delivered by mail. Because of the curfew in the island, stores like Advanced Auto, Pepboys, Auto Zone are still closed to purchase them directly. Xoxo from Puerto Rico 🤙👍🇵🇷
Great video and tips on using the TW polishes. I would be interested in videos on beginning polishing; will be polishing my cars soon so perfect timing.
Those results blew me away. It’s like an AIO mixed with an acrylic glaze. I wonder how long it lasts before the deeper swirls start showing again. This seems like a great product for older black cars that might be on the verge of clear coat failure and just can’t take more aggressive correction anymore. Thanks for the demonstration.
I will say this again...your videos are extremely helpful. Great timing too as I have 2 black vehicles this weekend and will be using the ceramic black products. Yes I would love to watch more polishing / paint correction videos.
Excellent video. We have a black Hyundai Santa Fe and live in Miami. You answered the exact questions i needed answering. Plus I have the same polisher. Thank you!!!!
Miranda, Thank you, I experienced the same results with the Ceramic Hybrid Solutions (Polish & Ceramic Spray). The "damp" microfiber after each application worked EXTREMELY well in the direct Texas Sunlight. Turtle Wax has hit a Home Run with these Hybrid Solutions line of products
At the end nice comments and comparison between the untouched and the correction. Again it looks great, is it 100% corrected? No, but most owners want it to look great and this proves it's worth IMHO. Perfect finish on cars is a myth, at least if you drive them .
Can you please make a video on how you fill paint chips on the front end of a car? One of ours is peppered with them. I'm not comfortable doing a polish as it may chip even more paint off. Video would be a great help.
Hi This video is kinda old but I do show what we used to use to fill small stone chips. I now just use a toothpick because its easier to use then this pen. But the same idea applies. ruclips.net/video/Z0CnwzNgOPY/видео.html
I found the spray tough to remove once it dried - so figured in the future I will remove it right away - I had the habit of doing "each side" all at once, so not a good idea.. Going to try the polish in the spring - just about to order it. My hope is that it will last longer (spray did seem to last a long time) .. and be more forgiving for my somewhat lazy application.
Phil, another excellent video. After watched my top detailers, 5 of them have noticed something that the others didn't. On the Black Ceramic Spray they all noticed that if they applied it and then continued to wipe and even after using with the dry side of the towel "before it clouded or hazed over", the results were nowhere near what they are if you let it dry to a point that you see the hazing as it drys or white clouding, similar to what it looked like in the days we used wax when it hazed over, obviously not that extend thought. So, when you wait for it to fully haze and then buff it off, is when the filling properties of the product comes alive and the difference between the two ways to apply it was remarkable. I couldn't tell whether or not you let it haze and if not, I hope you get a chance to see the difference. Thanks for reading and I loved the extra footage on Carpro eraser. Great information. And I totally agree "It still looks amazing, it still looks awesome."
Thanks. YesI did let it sit for about a minute or so and let it take it time, it doesn't really haze the way people think, not like the old waxes. but it does dry a little so you can see when it's ready to wipe. In this video ruclips.net/video/GsFx3fqYJCg/видео.html The spray Wax preforms differently indoors and not in direct heat and sun. It wipes off super easy. But I wanted to see how it reacts in the sun and heat on black paint to get the full flavor of what these products and do. Even without the minor filling capabilities, the polish actually does correct, the pigment and such just adds that extra pop on black paint! I love this stuff! 😎👍
We can’t get that in UK yet but when it does if you recommend it I’ll use it on my customers black cars 👍 cheers Phil hope you and Jess stay safe and healthy
Hi Phil, I’m always looking for products that play nice in the sun, my light silver truck is to big an tall to fit in the garage, I’m a disabled veteran and just work on my own cars so as you can imagine I work slow, I’d love to see products that can be applied in the sun on light colored vehicles, great video 👍😁
Hi. Pretty much 90% of our products can be used in the sun and heat. In fact even products that say not to use in sun or heat can be if applied correctly. We use Meguairs Hyper Wash with no problems, Megs D301 Finishing Wax, and the D300 Correction Compound. Many spray waxes and sealants can also be used in the sun and heat. The new Hybrid Solutions line in great in the heat and sun.
Yeah they can totally be used in dark colors also, dark blues and charcoal greys. Not sure about darker reds, but maybe. I have to get a customer with a dark red color to try it.
I generally really like your videos, as far as learning technique. However, I think it’s funny that you tried several different things to do use these products EXCEPT for following the directions
Hi. Yeah that’s why I have the channel. To try different methods. Detailers experiment with products and techniques all the time to get different and better results. Larry from AMMONYC, Kevin Brwon from Buff Daddy, Jason Rose from Rupes, and Alan from AmDetails do it all the time. That’s where I learned it from. 😎👍🏼
Hi. Thanks, If the paint clears up quickly with a light polish then it's probably pretty soft paint. If it takes a long time even with compound and a cutting disc to get the defects out, then it's hard paint. Basically when the swirls and defects are difficult to remove its hard paint, if they are removed pretty easily, then its softer paint.
It’s difficult to find a good spray wax/sealant for DIRECT sunlight. Most sealants l use like to smudge. Which normally is solved by a clean MF. Although most colors even in direct sunlight are fine. It’s really just the black man. It heats up sooooo much more than other colors.
@@MirandaDetailing awesome that’s where I was leaning .. going to order it now.. keep up the awesome work.. I’m in Philly so I know the struggle of the cold weather while cleaning car cleaning 😂
Exactly. I have never had major issues polishing in the sun on hot panels. It’s not ideal, but it can be done with great success. It really comes from old-school thinking.
You could, but the polish and wax and the black version both like to be worked into the paint and broken down, they respond better that way, almost like a diminishing abrasive polish, even though its not technically.
Hi one way is to do an APC Rinse (All Purpose Cleaner) or with a degreaser diluted 4:1 rinse the vehicle, spray the apc/degreaser on the paint and let it dwell for 30-60 seconds or so. Just dont let it dry. Then rinse it off and continue washing with whatever soap you like. That will help break down old waxes and sealants. If you dont want deal with chemicals like that, another way that may take a little longer is to do a very light polish with something light Meguair's M205 or 210. It will gentle remove any protection and also prep the paint for any new wax or sealants.
Nice info-mercial. There are other products that work much better. Like D300 from McGuire's and any sealant like seal and shine. Don't waste your money, black paint respond very well with a microfiber polishing pad will many products.
I guess you haven't watch our other videos...I'm a mobile detailer first and foremost..This channel shows tons of products and tools for mobile guys. please watch all of our other videos to actually understand how we do things here. I love D300 and use it as my main compound with cutting discs all the time...ruclips.net/video/oPHBFsL6mi8/видео.html

Another great video Phil. I used the Polish & wax last week. Ya right, use a damp microfiber to activate the shine polymers, makes all the difference.

Another awesome video. For my darker colored car I used DPC flash on the roof. Came out great.
Those results blew me away. It’s like an AIO mixed with an acrylic glaze. I wonder how long it lasts before the deeper swirls start showing again.

Really enjoyed the video and the results. Looks like an easy polisher to use. Turtle Wax hit a home run with these products.
Very useful information. Thx!
great tutorial and video Phil.no matter what we use on soft paint we always have 2 adjust accordingly. b well.

Dave, I work slow for I find doing this rather therapudic...😁
That would be fantastic thank you!!
damn thats actually pretty impressive i think ill pick some up. any recommendations on what polisher to buy on a budget?
Thanks! This would be great as a beginner polisher. amzn.to/3BiFYtq or if you want a cordless version amzn.to/3RpeiIZ
I'm assuming that the black products would work fine on my dark blue truck? Is that correct or is it literally only for black vehicles?
Yeah they can totally be used in dark colors also, dark blues and charcoal greys. Not sure about darker reds, but maybe. I have to get a customer with a dark red color to try it.
I generally really like your videos, as far as learning technique. However, I think it’s funny that you tried several different things to do use these products EXCEPT for following the directions

Great video as always question how can you tell when paint is soft when polishing?
Hi. Thanks, If the paint clears up quickly with a light polish then it's probably pretty soft paint. If it takes a long time even with compound and a cutting disc to get the defects out, then it's hard paint.

Very true.
Hi Phil!! Love ur channel .. I was hoping for ur opinion which do I prefer between the maxshine m8s or the spta for an entry level DA polisher
Hi. I would go with the SPTA cordless for a beginner. It’s smooth and is a true 15mm long throw polisher. So it’s great for compounding and polishing.
@@MirandaDetailing awesome that’s where I was leaning .. going to order it now.. keep up the awesome work.. I’m in Philly so I know the struggle of the cold weather while cleaning car cleaning 😂
Idk why many of these shops say, Neever, polish in the sun". What they should say is, "if you are gonna polish in the sun, do it in sections".
Exactly. I have never had major issues polishing in the sun on hot panels. It’s not ideal, but it can be done with great success. It really comes from old-school thinking.
Yes, real world test
Are they going to produce a range of colors for this product or just black?
I thought about that also. I don’t think so, but you never know.
Phil - Would you use the polish in a non-corrective way by just using it with a finishing pad and skip using an abrasive pad? Thoughts?
You could, but the polish and wax and the black version both like to be worked into the paint and broken down, they respond better that way, almost like a diminishing abrasive polish, even though its not technically.
Nice stuff.
How can I strip waxes and sealants as a mobile detailer? I’m scared of having a aggressive soap dry on the panel
Hi one way is to do an APC Rinse (All Purpose Cleaner) or with a degreaser diluted 4:1 rinse the vehicle, spray the apc/degreaser on the paint and let it dwell for 30-60 seconds or so. Just dont let it dry. Then rinse it off and continue washing with whatever soap you like. That will help break down old waxes and sealants.

It will gentle remove any protection and also prep the paint for any new wax or sealants.
Being fairly new how do you know soft paint from hard paint? Thanks
Fred
Good question. I’m going to make a video on that.
Can you use this to correct the paint for ceramic coating??
Hi. It shouldn’t be used to prep for a traditional ceramic coating. But it can be used with Hybrid Solutions Spray Coating.
Turtle wax is using a acrylic dye and fillers with their new product.
Have you ever considered using solution finish with a sprayer.
Did you watch the entire video to the end?
I got swirl marks on my car.
Nice info-mercial. There are other products that work much better. Like D300 from McGuire's and any sealant like seal and shine. Don't waste your money, black paint respond very well with a microfiber polishing pad will many products.
