This guy is spot on. While some cars ceramic works well on, i prefer the TW graphene products and apply them a little more regularly including the spray. The paste Graphene wax by TW is some of the best wax I’ve ever used, and the spray is a way to maintain between paste or liquid applications. Sometimes using a liquid is easier to apply and take off, so this liquid is a great option, especially on larger vehicles like trucks, where a paste can be time consuming and tiring. The value for dollar on TW products is very good, I’m impressed with all the great stuff they’ve come out with in recent years, they are on fire 🔥
Having a full system that’s fairly defined for the amateur is such a good idea. As soon as I buy something people like gyeon or carpro bring out another version for a slightly different use. Compounding especially is a learning curve. Most people are not going through vast quantities as their doing their own car. So the higher price for simplicity is a good area to define for them.
John I’ve detailed 10 cars with these products and all 10 customers were blown away by the gloss and especially the slickness of the Max Wax! Great vid!
how do you recommended to be applied? Clay bar first! Then this product? And then sealant? Who do u recommend to be applied? Any tips? And how much does it last 3 4 5 6 months?
I just received this. Buffing with a damp soft microfibre followed by buffing with a dry soft microfibre unlocks more gloss with this product. It's brilliant stuff.
Also, if you only buff the liquid wax with a dry cloth I find there is a bit of grabbiness or drag. The panel beaded water beautifully the next day, but the drops just would not slide off. But using a damp cloth first, followed by a dry cloth reduces the drag when buffing AND the beads glide off much quicker. I did panels both ways. I highly recommend using a damp microfiber. Brian from Apex suggested this as well.
John I don't care if this is a sponsored show, I have already been using the new Pro line for two months here in California and know how great it is and how trustworthy you are. Thanks 👍✝️😀. For the first time in years I'm using a wax! Then topping it with Flex. Sorry it is expensive for you guys, it is about 18 pounds sterling equivalent over here and a real bargain for 23 ounces.
Kyle the price we pay is a joke...it's stopped me buying this new range. Had them in my basket on TW site but couldn't justify almost 100 quid for another 3 products
Although not on the label, the Turtlewax folks who answer the product questions have indicated that the product in fact contains some abrasive. I assume it's just enough to remove light contaminants. So, you'll probably get a better result if you machine apply.
The MAX contains Carnuba. I am still convinced that Carnuba is still relevant even in a diminished role as part of a formula. Case in point is that TW formulates it in this newest offering - MAX as well as their Hybrid Ceramic Spray AND the Seal & Shine. All 3 of these products are at the top of the detailing industry game.
Just picked up bottles for $10 AUD, reduced for black friday sales from $59 AUD. Was sceptical about it, gave it a try worked well on a lancer at work, promptly returned to store and bought a few more bottles, will use them on cars at work (car yard). Ease of use and shine is crucial,, easy on easy off, in direct sun (yeah i know) but we dont have a shaded area anywhere on site. Shine for cheap, always welcomed. Cars get washed more often than most people wash their car, keep them looking good for the tyre kickers and low ballers.
The "Benny Hill" of detailing. You always do an entertaining way of explaining things. I've used the product. It has more gloss and slickness than other products such as C2V3 or Reload. Can't speak to durability yet. I ran out of those and tried the Max and Flex to use over our G-Tecqnic CSL coated cars. The coating has lasted 3 years so far thanks to maintaining them periodically with spray sealants. The Max and Flex both have greater gloss and slickness but they've only been on the cars a couple weeks.The Max has more gloss and the Flex is faster and easier as you pointed out. None of this products can do what coatings do but these products make great sacrificial layers to give coating more longevity. I blow dry my cars after washing with a Metro Dry Vac and the added slickness makes the task easier.
I used it on my new car last year (2021) and here on east coast USA lots of snow and slat on the roads. I touched it up in oct. and here in April its still beading up well. I love it. A lot less work.
I'm going to be using whatever spray as a drying aid every wash anyway so the longevity of any product doesn't matter a massive amount if it can be kept topped up. Looking forward to the spray review. And will be looking forward to any sales to shift the previous generation sprays as they're all the same once you keep applying them regularly the car never stops buzzing water
Ok thanks John that’s what I came here for and you came through. 1 & done to correct, max to fill & polish and flex for topups. Wish I’d seen this video first. Gonna stop watching detailing videos now for another two years or so… 👍👍 (I’ll be back!)
how do you recommended to be applied? Clay bar first! Then this product? And then sealant? Who do u recommend to be applied? Any tips? And how much does it last 3 4 5 6 months?
Hi John could you recommend a product that will give rubber and dashboard a glossy look my truck is full of the stuff and always has a horrible Matt finish I've tried loads and nothing seems to work
The curing period is a good one for me as I don't have a garage so yes I wont be washing it but mother nature does come in to play hence no real benefit of using a great ceramic coating that has to be left under a garage roof for 24 hours, now a spray is better but this sounds pretty good.
graphene does not activate with water. They advise to use damp MF first because it thins the product and then its easier to remove. but you can just buff. you are right though I should follow instructions better it is important.
any pure shampoo mate. just perhaps make sure its pure shampoo if you want to monitor the performance of the product. if its a wash and wax you will mask the protection product.
What would you say is the best best spray on wax to use for a busy guy who likes to keep his car clean but doesn't have the free time to machine polish etc? I've just bought Meguiars snow foam and the gold class car wash. I'm looking in to more products to keep in my garage to use. I was my car every 2-4 weeks but I want a little bit extra protection. Great videos by the way.
Its not the most durable of the TW products, its easy to apply and it will hide and mask light defect and swirl haze. And its easy to work with.. But you have to spread it over the car let it haze and buff it. Their new 75th anniversary wax I think offer more durability.
Nice review Jon and congrats on the paid promotion. A little feedback for Turtle Wax. TW Graphene spray is 26 dollars in the US (£18.68 at today’s rate) and 30 quid in the UK. They can keep it until they implement the current exchange rate the right way around. The one and done is 22 dollars (even worse £15.80 there and £30 here) and the to the max wax is 29 dollars (£20.83 again, £30 here). It is robbery no matter how good it is.
@@fanfeck2844 Maybe they will say that, but it hasn’t caused anything like the same inflated pricing impact on the ceramic range which I assume ships from the same production centre. TW U.K. charge £3.99 delivery on orders under £30 compared to free shipping in the US. Charging £30 does eradicate that delivery charge for a single bottle I guess, but if you bought more than one product it is debatable if that is such an advantage to the consumer any more if that is their reasoning. Simple profiteering on the U.K. market by the look of it, and that may be the U.K. arm / distributor pushing their luck rather than TW USA. Of course, TW USA does not ship internationally, so the only protest option is not to buy it at all in the U.K., which is the option I am taking.
Turtle Way is NOT a cheap brand, at least in Europe, or should I say Denmark? Their Seal'n'Shine (Hybrid Sealant, as it's called here) costs minimum 20€. The Ceramic Line starts at 24€. I guess the Pro Line will be ~40 €, given the price level in the UK.
I changed my icon just to show my support for everything TW has done for us. 1 & Done has literally replaced Everything on my shelf. I did 3 paint restorations last week. On Monday a Black Volvo, oxidation, swirls etc. Took about 10 hours, using Lake Country Yellow foam flat pad, then Green and finally the Black pad for the finsh. Wednesday was a newer black Camry with that beautiful black metallic with flakes of blue and green. I started with the orange and finished with the Blue pad. That was about half the time of the other. Then Thursday was a 15 year old Chevy Silverado 🛻 pickup truck in red, a lot of work, three pads 12 hours. Normally I would have used 4 different compounds from my favorite company and the same 5 pads. Two months ago when I tried 1 & Done I knew it would replace everything else because it cut as well as anything, and it finished so well with exceptional clarity. But the best part was that in addition to all that capability, I was able to save so much time and effort by not having to wipe off after each section to determine when to change to another pad and compound; why, because TW is pad dependent, I never had to change compounds, just pads and keep on going. I knew from my test section how much effort would be required before I changed pads. I tried that technique out in December when I tested a few panels. Once I got the combination of pads to give me what I wanted, I would just watch through the compound because you can see right through it. Also you use less product than you would of expected. It saves so much time and effort.
yer you can use a wet cloth to buff the first film but you dont have to, its not like "water activated" or anything. The wet cloth can just make removal of the film easier which then makes the final dry buff easier.
Looks excellent, added to Amazon wish list, but too expensive for me for now, I will wait for the hype train to leave the station and get these when they are a bit cheaper. :-)
this is a classic question ragu. 1&done is a pure paint correction tool. You use it when the paintwork needs swirls removing or gloss adding. So you have to wash down and inspect the paintwork of any car and decide if paint correction is required and appropriate. I cant generalise at all or else I can be in the situation where Im telling people they need to correct the paintwork of cars with amazing condition paintwork.
The cool thing about 1 & Done is it can do it all. If you just want to deep clean and exfoliate a well kept vehicle, throw on a soft polishing pad or even an application pad. Have a few swirls or some etching in a spot or two? Swap to a more aggressive pad and clean up the area, swap back to your soft pad and keep going, finishing it flawlessly. No dust, no fillers, steady even cut throughout an incredibly long cycle time. Plus it smells incredible. The *only* thing I dislike about it is the wipe off. It can be a bit grabby and tacky, and a chore to remove in certain situations, but an initial damp towel before a dry one solves that. Still a great product, professional result capability that's easy to work with and versatile enough to do it all for a DIY enthusiast.
How do we get customers to leave thier cars for so long for curing with this or like ceramic coating etc? Can this be used with a heat lamp or IR to speed it up?
What’s your take on using a gear driven Polisher vs a rotary polisher? Is gear driven more safe? And can you get the same result as a rotary polisher? Thanks.
I prefer forced rotation DA generally. it takes me about 3-4 sets to get back into using the rotary. I use a rotary closer to a DA slow speeds like Yvan lacroix says. just nice and slow, less sling less pull. 5 inch pad max. no problems. but I will generally always go with the XCE first I just get on with this tool so well. you can see me using the XCE in the TW 1 and done compound at the end.
I want some new products for this year. I've just managed to clear out the last of my stuff. It would be cool getting custom picked cleaning kits to suit different budgets.
I currently use Autoglym polish and high definition wax and apply the polish using a cordless orbital sander. I top up the coat with Autoglym polar seal. I am just wondering if this is a better solution now. Looking for a long lasting protection that only needs to be applied 2-3 times a year.
Question for the curing times on waxes. I don't have access to a garage where I can keep my car. And here in England it LOVES to rain. If I wax the car and leave it out over night and it just so happens to rain, will this effect the product? Does any one have experience with waxes turning due to sudden rain? Thanks for any replies!
Just put TW Flex Wax on one side of car and 303 Graphene Spray on the other side to see which one is the most durable in everyday, real world conditions. TW was definitely easier to remove.
Just getting into detailing my own car again and need a basic kit of products. Not buckets, etc but just actual products. What would you recommend please??? Love the channel by the way😎😎😎😎😎😎

I have recently purchased a new Ford Fiesta st 3 from a Ford main dealer. As part of the deal they put a paint protection product on the car called Supagard. Looking on RUclips the only info i can get about the product is from companies that are trying to sell it. I can't find any good reviews about the company at all. Is it a product you have heard of John and is it in your opinion any good. The dealer claim good things about the product but then he would would'nt he
Hi John, been watching you all videos and been completely addicted to your content for a while now! You’re the most real person on RUclips and provide facts and great value for money on product reviews, have you thought about doing a turtle wax giveaway with brand new line of products.
thank you tom, ive not thought about this I tend to do monthly contest on patreon where I give away products but these TW offerings have made it onto my shelf.
Do you have any videos with advice specific to receiving a brand new car? I've had a lot of fun over the years with my polisher and kit on my 8+ year old cars, I'm about to get my first brand new car next week and would love to know where I should start and more importantly what NOT to do. Thanks in advance
Hey John ! Could you please kindly confirm that TW Ceramic spray does not fill ? I was gonna use it instead of Fuso coat 12 m for detailing outside under direct sunlight but now realized that it does not fill. Should I then use Graphene Max wax ? I mean can it be applied in direct sunlight please ? I have no choice but to detail outside under direct sunlight for now Also what is coldest and hottest temperature can TW Ceramic spray or TW Graphene max wax can be applied in please? Lastly I know it is wrong concept but still. If I apply 2 coats of TW ceramic spray, or 2 coats of TW Graphene on top of heavy Glaze as for example Poor's boys Glaze how much of durability would I get on daily driver seating outside ? Many of my clients prefer to keep they clear coat virgin and not having to risk ....so that's where I got this silly idea from. Your advice would be simply life saving. Thank you very much in advance John
all products will fill a bit but I find spray waxes tend to fill a bit less. when you work a liquid wax on a machine you seen to get a lot of improvement and better clarity. So I think fusso or to the max wax are examples of base products. Ceramic sprays are more versitile toppers. All those layers. glaze plus 2 coats of ceramic spray or 2 coats of flex wax. thats overkill mate. one of the other I would recomend.
Damnit TW is releasing products I want quicker than I'm using them up. I can honestly get on board with the 1 and done product - looks like it offers a serious amount of correction.
Both McGuire and Turtle Wax has too many products that are similar. Just confusing. SONAX prewash foam schampo SONAX Gloss Schampo SONAX Spray n Seal What more do you need?
I’m really loving turtlewax’s spray on ceramic hybrid stuff! It goes in so easy and gives incredible results... but I kinda miss the therapeutic wax on wax off routine. What’s your thoughts of putting this over the top of the turtle wax ceramic range?
Great video as always John, has Turtle Wax released prices yet ? Would love to see a real world test by applying the product to the side of a car and doing wet motorway miles, a true test of endurance.
:) whats the point my friend it will just get me sued. Like with certain things you see on facebook, if your emergency "commen sense" filters dont kick in and you need a review then you are dhoomed. You know what I mean because you have this commen sense. I did a video called the great ceramic spray scam a while back search you tube for this and have a listen.
Confusing chat for me and felt more like a promo which I know it was not meant to be..but with so many good products on the market now its just one more.
Hi John, sorry you said one of my biggest pet peeves as a Chemical Engineer: Organic chemicals & Inorganic chemicals has nothing to do with whether they're man made or not. Organic chemicals always contain carbon, such as hydrocarbons. Inorganic chemicals are chemicals that don't necessarily contain carbon, such as NaCl, or Salt. Both organic and inorganic chemicals exist naturally. It's a chemical definition, not a "man made" vs "non-man made".
I would suggest only a tiny portion of it is payed promotion they simply send it out to anyone that wants to review it because it will generate interest and sales. With my channel the video is marked as payed promotion at the start so people that dont want to watch payed for promotion can skip the video. Thats done because I appreciate your view point. But ultimately go and do you tube for 5 years making no money and turning down all forms of promotion while getting told your content was sponsored anyway. walk that road for 5 years then come back and critise because believe it or not I have to be profitable or there is no channel and you tube is not a compulsory viewing platform is it.
Question. Long time subscriber, love the detailed videos on ceramic coating among many other things. Have a friend with a gt350 Mustang with a few thousand miles. Excellent shape. He got wax on the black plastic bits. Do you have a process or product suggestion to remove the white residue?
I used a panel-wipe product to remove the residue from the black plastic trim. It was still quicker than taping. I wish Turtle Wax had their own panel wipe, but any will do. Dupli-Color, etc. On the next vehicle, I went ahead and treated all the black plastic trim before compounding, and it just wiped right off with a micro-fiber.

But the best part was that in addition to all that capability, I was able to save so much time and effort by not having to wipe off after each section to determine when to change to another pad and compound; why, because TW is pad dependent, I never had to change compounds, just pads and keep on going. I knew from my test section how much effort would be required before I changed pads. I tried that technique out in December when I tested a few panels. Once I got the combination of pads to give me what I wanted, I would just watch through the compound because you can see right through it. Also you use less product than you would of expected. It saves so much time and effort.
Great video as always. And great product review.
Hey mate, my label says "remove with a damp microfiber towel and finish by wiping with a soft dry microfiber....."
yer you can use a wet cloth to buff the first film but you dont have to, its not like "water activated" or anything. The wet cloth can just make removal of the film easier which then makes the final dry buff easier.
How cold was it in Your Garage?????? hope its close to 10*C
Looks excellent, added to Amazon wish list, but too expensive for me for now, I will wait for the hype train to leave the station and get these when they are a bit cheaper. :-)
You are in UK?
Another good video Jon, I think you should look bringing out your own range of products
Looking forward to trying this wax. Do you think it buffs off easily and will it stain trim? Thanks.
i will test this out jason. but my guess is keep it away from trim.
Would you recommend using the 1 and done compound on the entire vehicle of a new car? Or just correcting spots?
this is a classic question ragu. 1&done is a pure paint correction tool. You use it when the paintwork needs swirls removing or gloss adding. So you have to wash down and inspect the paintwork of any car and decide if paint correction is required and appropriate. I cant generalise at all or else I can be in the situation where Im telling people they need to correct the paintwork of cars with amazing condition paintwork.
The cool thing about 1 & Done is it can do it all. If you just want to deep clean and exfoliate a well kept vehicle, throw on a soft polishing pad or even an application pad.
Have a few swirls or some etching in a spot or two? Swap to a more aggressive pad and clean up the area, swap back to your soft pad and keep going, finishing it flawlessly. No dust, no fillers, steady even cut throughout an incredibly long cycle time. Plus it smells incredible.
The *only* thing I dislike about it is the wipe off. It can be a bit grabby and tacky, and a chore to remove in certain situations, but an initial damp towel before a dry one solves that. Still a great product, professional result capability that's easy to work with and versatile enough to do it all for a DIY enthusiast.
How do we get customers to leave thier cars for so long for curing with this or like ceramic coating etc? Can this be used with a heat lamp or IR to speed it up?
Would your contacts at Turtle Wax have a timeline for the product range availability in Australia?
just ping customer services mate they can give you a rough idea.
What’s your take on using a gear driven Polisher vs a rotary polisher? Is gear driven more safe? And can you get the same result as a rotary polisher?
Thanks.
I prefer forced rotation DA generally. it takes me about 3-4 sets to get back into using the rotary. I use a rotary closer to a DA slow speeds like Yvan lacroix says. just nice and slow, less sling less pull. 5 inch pad max. no problems. but I will generally always go with the XCE first I just get on with this tool so well. you can see me using the XCE in the TW 1 and done compound at the end.
Thought I had everything I needed to buff my new car tomorrow. But I’ve just seen this 😂 might just need to stick to fusso lol
wheres the discount code/link?
I want some new products for this year. I've just managed to clear out the last of my stuff.
It would be cool getting custom picked cleaning kits to suit different budgets.
Garage Therapy products all day long mate
I currently use Autoglym polish and high definition wax and apply the polish using a cordless orbital sander. I top up the coat with Autoglym polar seal. I am just wondering if this is a better solution now. Looking for a long lasting protection that only needs to be applied 2-3 times a year.
Question for the curing times on waxes. I don't have access to a garage where I can keep my car. And here in England it LOVES to rain. If I wax the car and leave it out over night and it just so happens to rain, will this effect the product? Does any one have experience with waxes turning due to sudden rain? Thanks for any replies!
It can vary depending on scents used. But after buffing the rest of the vaping out should happen within 12 hours. But after and hour it's mostly gone
Solvent Not scent
@@ForensicDetailing okay awesome! Thank you for replying!
Just put TW Flex Wax on one side of car and 303 Graphene Spray on the other side to see which one is the most durable in everyday, real world conditions. TW was definitely easier to remove.
Turtle wax have come a long way I was a autoglem person not any more turtle wax all day long
Does anyone know where I can get one of the black turtle wax foam applicators? Can’t seem to find.
Just getting into detailing my own car again and need a basic kit of products. Not buckets, etc but just actual products. What would you recommend please??? Love the channel by the way😎😎😎😎😎😎

@@ForensicDetailing Thanks very much. I’ll have a look through and probably end up buying everything😂😂😂😂
Great info, just curious I want to speed up my process question do any of these two products leave a residual white/film on rubber, black trim etc. not having to tape off all my windows and trim saves me a lot of time. thanks
yes all abrasives will do this you must tape up.
I have recently purchased a new Ford Fiesta st 3 from a Ford main dealer. As part of the deal they put a paint protection product on the car called Supagard. Looking on RUclips the only info i can get about the product is from companies that are trying to sell it. I can't find any good reviews about the company at all. Is it a product you have heard of John and is it in your opinion any good. The dealer claim good things about the product but then he would would'nt he
Hi chris, I dont have any experience of it Ive not tested it so I would just be speculating mate.
Where Can i buy the whole bucket
Im not sure about that kit mate. I would ping turtle wax customer support they will be able to advise.
Hi John, been watching you all videos and been completely addicted to your content for a while now! You’re the most real person on RUclips and provide facts and great value for money on product reviews, have you thought about doing a turtle wax giveaway with brand new line of products.
thank you tom, ive not thought about this I tend to do monthly contest on patreon where I give away products but these TW offerings have made it onto my shelf.
Do you have any videos with advice specific to receiving a brand new car? I've had a lot of fun over the years with my polisher and kit on my 8+ year old cars, I'm about to get my first brand new car next week and would love to know where I should start and more importantly what NOT to do. Thanks in advance
hey dan Ive done a new car detailing if you search YT you will see it has the white M140 on the cover.
@@ForensicDetailing thanks John
Glossmeter, when to choose 20 ° or 60 ° ?. Thanks
use 20 deg gloss when measuring gloss of more than 70 GU which is most car paintworks. 30-70 GU 60 deg is better.
@@ForensicDetailing thank you buddy! 👍
Hey John !
Could you please kindly confirm that TW Ceramic spray does not fill ?
I was gonna use it instead of Fuso coat 12 m for detailing outside under direct sunlight but now realized that it does not fill.
Should I then use Graphene Max wax ?
I mean can it be applied in direct sunlight please ?
I have no choice but to detail outside under direct sunlight for now
Also what is coldest and hottest temperature can TW Ceramic spray or TW Graphene max wax can be applied in please?
Lastly I know it is wrong concept but still.
If I apply 2 coats of TW ceramic spray, or 2 coats of TW Graphene on top of heavy Glaze as for example Poor's boys Glaze how much of durability would I get on daily driver seating outside ?
Many of my clients prefer to keep they clear coat virgin and not having to risk ....so that's where I got this silly idea from.
Your advice would be simply life saving.
Thank you very much in advance John
all products will fill a bit but I find spray waxes tend to fill a bit less. when you work a liquid wax on a machine you seen to get a lot of improvement and better clarity. So I think fusso or to the max wax are examples of base products. Ceramic sprays are more versitile toppers. All those layers. glaze plus 2 coats of ceramic spray or 2 coats of flex wax. thats overkill mate. one of the other I would recomend.
@@ForensicDetailing Thank you very much John
At £30 per product it's too expensive so will look at the closest alternative.
Thats not too bad. Its about the price i would expect for good quality "cheap" stuff. I can't ever justify the next level of price range
@@chrisg4rr377 turtle Wax seal n shine just as good and around a £10
Looks good John
UK has been treated to quite the winter...
Damnit TW is releasing products I want quicker than I'm using them up. I can honestly get on board with the 1 and done product - looks like it offers a serious amount of correction.
The flex wax is almost impossible to get off,the max wax is a bit better but I won't be getting either again,to much hard work 😫
Did you do a video of the best All In One polish?
no Im gonna done one soon comparing single stage cut and finish pure abriasves soon. Pro detailers magazine did a big test of AIO's recently.
Lovin it! 👍
Both McGuire and Turtle Wax has too many products that are similar. Just confusing.
SONAX prewash foam schampo
SONAX Gloss Schampo
SONAX Spray n Seal
What more do you need?
Loving the 'paid promotion' intro 😍😂👍
I’m really loving turtlewax’s spray on ceramic hybrid stuff! It goes in so easy and gives incredible results... but I kinda miss the therapeutic wax on wax off routine.
What’s your thoughts of putting this over the top of the turtle wax ceramic range?
1 and done... on order 👍
I feel like you didn’t actually review it apart from say its easy to apply... i guess you cant though right if they’re sponsoring the vid lol 🤫
Great video as always John, has Turtle Wax released prices yet ? Would love to see a real world test by applying the product to the side of a car and doing wet motorway miles, a true test of endurance.
30 quid per product...
I just seen an add on RUclips that looks ridiculous, can U do a video on shine armour scratch repair
:) whats the point my friend it will just get me sued. Like with certain things you see on facebook, if your emergency "commen sense" filters dont kick in and you need a review then you are dhoomed. You know what I mean because you have this commen sense. I did a video called the great ceramic spray scam a while back search you tube for this and have a listen.
Confusing chat for me and felt more like a promo which I know it was not meant to be..but with so many good products on the market now its just one more.
Sadly it was meant to be a promo.
Hi John, sorry you said one of my biggest pet peeves as a Chemical Engineer: Organic chemicals & Inorganic chemicals has nothing to do with whether they're man made or not.
Organic chemicals always contain carbon, such as hydrocarbons.
Inorganic chemicals are chemicals that don't necessarily contain carbon, such as NaCl, or Salt.
Both organic and inorganic chemicals exist naturally. It's a chemical definition, not a "man made" vs "non-man made".
my brain cant always keep up with my mouth when I do these videos, but yer I know about the carbon thing thats the proper key definition.
@@ForensicDetailing thanks! Keep up the amazing work, i always come to your videos before checking out the latest products so they're a massive help
So every new Turtle Wax video by detailers is a "Paid Promotion" and by a miracle the Detailer loves this junk more then God.
I would suggest only a tiny portion of it is payed promotion they simply send it out to anyone that wants to review it because it will generate interest and sales. With my channel the video is marked as payed promotion at the start so people that dont want to watch payed for promotion can skip the video. Thats done because I appreciate your view point. But ultimately go and do you tube for 5 years making no money and turning down all forms of promotion while getting told your content was sponsored anyway. walk that road for 5 years then come back and critise because believe it or not I have to be profitable or there is no channel and you tube is not a compulsory viewing platform is it.
First time inside a viral marketing campaign storm?
Question. Long time subscriber, love the detailed videos on ceramic coating among many other things. Have a friend with a gt350 Mustang with a few thousand miles. Excellent shape. He got wax on the black plastic bits. Do you have a process or product suggestion to remove the white residue?
A standard white pencil eraser. Seriously it works!
Or a magic eraser but take you time and be super careful not to touch the paint work or it will scratch it.
I used a panel-wipe product to remove the residue from the black plastic trim. It was still quicker than taping. I wish Turtle Wax had their own panel wipe, but any will do. Dupli-Color, etc. On the next vehicle, I went ahead and treated all the black plastic trim before compounding, and it just wiped right off with a micro-fiber.
Sir Jon, powerful and brilliant introduction!👌👍
Jesus Christ your not only a detailer your also a chemist! Great informative vid.👍
Good vid
