I think he changed the name from Hard as Shell to Tough as Shell because of the similarity with Hard Shell from. Turtle Wax, he received a cease and desist letter. But I actually had a good experience with tha product in terms of easiness to apply and initial "hydrophobic properties", but of...

Thanks! I may have seen a few of those discussions before so I'm aware HF acid is pretty nasty and dangerous stuff and that was the whole reason I purchased this trying to avoid HF acid so I'm kinda dissapointed to find out it has ABF and that that converts to "weaker HF". What I don't...

Thanks I may try cerium oxide next month, I think you're right I don't have much to lose on that specific window. I think you're completely right about the product though, I saw a comment on youtube that said: "It doesn't contain HF but does contain a small amount of ammonium bifluoride...

wow thanks a lot, I didn't know all that, so I guess I should be also extremely careful when washing wheels and need to use gloves, etc. right? Regarding the etching, it's pretty interesting because M105 did remove the effect on all windows except for the one that looked the worse (driver's...

sooo, how you doing now that you're almost 40?

Thanks! I just tried Meguiars Ultimate Compound but unfortunately did absolutely nothing, I did like maybe 30 to 40 slow passes but after wiping with MF towel the effect came right back. I'm not sure if I should try a compound with even more cutting power or if I should go to cerium oxide now...

Hey guys, I think I screwed up pretty bad. Last week I was washing my car and used an acid based wheel cleaner & water spot remover (it's called Pure Magic Cleaner), it's not HF Acid, it says it's much safer but it's still an acid based cleaner. The issue is I was washing under the sun and...

I'll try it sometime next month, I couldn't decide which one to buy that day but I ended up buying the "new one" yesterday as that was the only left in my local walmart. I hope it's decent, the bad thing is I won't have a comparison point as I've never tried the original one, I just barely...

I don't get your comment, the ingredients are different

yeah I don't think they would advertise it as a "new improved fomula", everything else looks exactly the same but the slightly different ingredients and the "new" red label is gone, that's why I was wondering if they're trying to just reduce costs while keeping a decent product after all the...

Hello folks, has anyone tried the "new formula" of the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating? I just noticed at my local walmart that the one that no longer says "new" in red in the front label has a different formula. I tried emailing the manufacturer several times to ask for...

Thanks guys, I got one bar left of the Meguiars Kit (consumer version) so it is not aggressive at all compared to others from the pro-line that are "medium" and "agressive" but my car is 2018 and pretty well mantained. Since I just clay around once a year, I think I'll keep using my Meguiars...

Thanks! Do you notice any improvement over regular clay bar? I may as well just keep using clay bar as I've never had issues, the worst risk is marring a little the paint but I always follow clay with a light polish, but with these discs I've seen reviews where the rubbery material melts into...
