Nice, both passed the multi wash test so just get SnS since it's cheaper and you're not going to pass out from fumes when applying it in a closed garage
Impressive test! I particularly like that you picked a relatively flat surface to compare two products. Certainly better than comparing three products on a multi-contoured surface. I'm a fan of SnS. But, I'm glad to see NF being a very strong contender. I've use NF carnuba wax back in college & liked it a lot. I'll be giving this new product a try. Thanks!
You have to apply the Nu finish with a wet applicator/microfiber. You can also try spraying the microfiber instead of your panels, then using the applicator to wipe the product in. Then just lightly buff it clean. I’ve gotten good streak free results with the Nu Finish.
You have to apply Nu Finish Polish and Nu Finish Ceramic with a damp cloth. I tend to use a micro pad for both rinsed and squeezed. Then use a dry microfiber to wipe off. The polish can sit for a panel or 2 but the ceramic I reccomend if you know what you are doing to apply 2 sections at a time with the damp pad and then come back and wipe it off but the car being polished before hand and the damp micro pad makes a huge difference 👍 i have been getting great results with this product and no issues.
I just applied the Nufinish Better than Wax Ceramic Spray to half of my car (2 applications) and nowhere on the bottle does it say to use a damp cloth. The other half of my car was two applications of the new Turtle wax seal n shine. My car is now prepped and ready for the winter months. I'm excited to see which one lasts longer with weekly hand washings religiously. I'm hoping they can take me to the summer or at least may. If not I'll add turtle wax new version ice spray wax.
Good vid. 👍 I do like the SnS and the other TW products. I'm not into spending big $$ on this stuff so I would give the NF a go for sure. Thanks for doing this test. 😀
Nu Finish is a heavy formula therefore the streaks; Both products are not meant for show cars but more for daily drivers. I would not worry or chase after the streaks on the Nu Finish, they disappear after the 1st rain or 1st wash. Also The Nu Finish can be applied onto a wet car and it will not streak, but the durability will not be as long. Overall if you have a daily driver the Nu Finish is the way to go, it's incredibly hydrophobic, I used it on a Honda Civic on October 22 and it's still beading strong.
Turtle Wax SnS wasn’t applied correctly in this video, I tried with a very clean glass surface that I clayed and cleaned with iso alcohol. Then, i applied it by using a soft cloth by using the slow back and fourth “ceramic” application method, waited 3 minutes and buffed it off and polished, waited 10 hours for “curing” since the item doesn’t need curing time but just to be sure it’s all nice and bonded to the surface. Finally I sprayed some water just to be sure that it’s on there. Then, I torture tested it with very strong chemicals and tools that may even strip the coating and cause the glass to be rough and streaky and unable to clean. The chemicals and tools I used to try strip off the coating: 1. Isopropyl alcohol 70% 2. Ethyl alcohol 70% 3. Bleach 4. Scotch brite pads and dish soap 5. Steel wool So far, the coating is still frickin on there unable to strip off
Good vid... personally I've always thought SnS is the most over rated product on the market.. it works and is cheap but it only last a few months in the real world.. again, that's not horrible it's over hyped in from my experience
When S n S was 6.00 a bottle it was absolutely a shining star because it added months of protection...some people just like spending more for less...to eaches own.
@@umbrellaj8954 There is a whole lot of competition out there...I tend to stick with what I know...good price, easy application, easy off and reasonable durability...what more can you want? I just like simple 🤷.
It streaked like crazy when I used it. I have much better results simply waxing with the old school Turtle Paste. Then every wash or so use the Wax and Dry.
@@Martin_3030_ I had already read a review and knew that less was more. I'm not a detailing Pro, but I'm a detailing enthusiast with buffers, pressure sprayer, foam cannon, etc. There is hardly a product I don't have experience with. And with many products, I know starting with less is best. I had stripped the paint with Meguiar's wash then went over it with 50/50 diluted alcohol. Still had streaking and hazing. Tried going lighter with it, that didn't work. Tried applying it lightly with a microfiber applicator, that didn't work. Nothing worked. I then tried stripping the hood and one quarter panel again and that didn't remove the streaks in some spots. I had to lightly polish the hood again by hand to remove all of it. I'm such a fan of Turtle products I gave it another shot. By this point, my entire truck was completely dry. No way I was going to try it on my hood again so I went back with plain old Turtle Hard Shell Paste on the hood. I decided I would try wetting down the entire truck and use it like Turtle's Wax and Dry product on everything but my hood. I took a spray bottle of plain water, made sure I had each panel covered in a light mist of water. I then used a couple of very light sprays on each panel and that seemed to do the trick. But, I still had to work my ass off getting it right. Twice as much effort and microfiber towels as I would normally use for Wax and Dry. I love Turtle products but I'll never use it again. Simply too much work. If you read enough reviews you'll see others that have had issues with it. Too bad, because I was really excited about this.
@@Kaiser187 See my response to Martin G on this thread. I had a miserable experience with this product. Who knows, maybe I bought a bottle from a bad batch, but it was a horrible experience for me.
Does seal n shine attract dust/sand particles as i live in desert area and there is lot of sand storms? Which one of these two will be better for dust prone areas?
Did you show that you applied the coatings from the spray bottles? I don't think you did. If you did, i missed it. If not, you should. I know a dude in San diego that didnt like a wax. So he emptierd out the spray bottle and replaced it with something cheesy then recorded and made a review. he lives in la mesa california. Off 63. I wanna say his name but i better not, total cheese ball.O and also, show that your opening the spray bottle for the first time. Ever since that dude did that when I was there. I've noticed not a single video or channel opens up a new bottle. But ill keep looking.
Nufinish needs a couple minutes to cure and TW calls for no cure time so I went straight into it. I'm sure if they were given 24-48 hours to cure they would've been a little better but I know most people don't let them cure
@@DiamondAutoCare I know some companies don't call for a cure time but I do notice if you let it sit a day or so, the longevity is a little better. I have a spoiler I took off my car and I did a test with the turtle Wax... cure time 24 hours versus stripping it right away. It lasted longer at least against chemicals when I let it sit 24 hours
I used Nu-Finish ceramic on my car per directions, It left a haze that was very rough not smooth at all plus it was difficult to remove. Called Nu-Finish they wanted pics and barcode of product and statement of how I applied it, kept getting e-mails from them stating thanx for your patience and their techs were working on it, then they told me to buy some other crap they sold to shine it up I told them to go to hell. fortunately I was able to take the crap back to wal-mart and get a refund. From now on I will stick with the Turtle Wax it works.
It is hard to believe for me that you followed direction correctly. I use the Nu Finish Polish and Ceramic Coating and have no issues at all. I believe a lot of people cannot read directions carefully enough and you probably let it sit and dry on your car before wiping it off or maybe you didn't prep the car properly. Either way I don't understand the negative reviews of this product. I think it is great and I have no issues applying any nu finish product. It is one of the easiest products to use in the market..
I've found that letting the nu finish cure for 10 minutes in cooler temperatures helps with streaking. Also adding a second coat
Thanks, I may try that out in a future video

Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed it!
Turtle Wax has come a long way since many years ago.
Nufinish needs something sacrificial on top to help with water spots.
Nufinish ceramic water spots ain’t no joke!
Good 2 know thx.

Great vid! I've always used NF and considered switching to TW. Guess there's no real need to
Thanks for the comment! And yeah if you're happy with the nf there's no huge difference between the two

A wet application of Nufinish is MUCH easier. Just spray, spread with a small towel and rinse off with a pressure washer!!
You don't need to do that at all. It is not recommend. Read the back of the bottle.
@@LowTegs In this case, enjoy the streaks!
Good vid... personally I've always thought SnS is the most over rated product on the market.. it works and is cheap but it only last a few months in the real world.. again, that's not horrible it's over hyped in from my experience
Exactly how I feel about it. Good product for the money but it isn't the bulletproof super sealant that RUclips has made it seem
When S n S was 6.00 a bottle it was absolutely a shining star because it added months of protection...some people just like spending more for less...to eaches own.
Over rated but no other products will really come close in price range or duration open to suggestions

Did you let the finishes cure before doing your test?
Thanks for the comment, I followed the directions which do not state a 24 cure time
Nice test! Thanks!
NuFinish Ceramic Coating vs Meguaeris?
Does seal n shine attract dust/sand particles as i live in desert area and there is lot of sand storms? Which one of these two will be better for dust prone areas?
@Josiah Cormier thanks
@Josiah Cormier btw, any idea about seal n shine?
Nice video, looking forward to more like these.
Thanks for the comment! Always open to recommendations
@@DiamondAutoCare would be cool to see a full ceramic coating like Avalon King 👑
I'll see what I can do! Currently working on a couple videos I need to push out first
Only putting on one squirt of product doesnt seem adequate?
I sprayed into the towel too. I was trying to not have any overspray
Your test in void rain x was originally designed to be a waterless car was with wax in it.
.... That was rain x brand windshield wiper fluid. If you are washing/waxing your car with it you have issues
@@DiamondAutoCare still has a form of wax in it.

Awesome video. You should do chemical guys hydro suds vs armor all ceramic soap
Hydro suds really doesn’t do anything armor all seems to leave a decent beading behind
Love the vids
What was the purpose of that you told us nothing?
did these cure any or yo just went straight into da wash test
