Hybrid Solutions Ceramic/Graphene Paste Wax **Updated with RAIN video
I got a new, unopened box of the Turtle Wax, Hybrid Solutions Ceramic/Graphene Paste Wax as a "payment" for detailing a friend's car. I was curious about it, but had never bought or tried it for myself. So I decided to use my wife's Escape as the guinea pig, since it sits outside 24/7 to see how well it holds up.
I made a video of the experience for YouTube, where I answered some questions I had, and dispelled the complaints I'd heard about "It's so {darn} hard to remove." I had already guessed that the complainers had applied it WAY too heavy (it IS a 'modern' "wax" after all, and almost ALL modern waxes/sealants TELL YOU UP FRONT to apply THINLY). That and NO ONE (even Turtle Wax) had even mentioned application by orbital polisher. So since I had it now, I thought I would try to answer those questions as well as check out the results.
I went in thinking that there WOULDN'T be a visual difference, since my wife's car had recently been fully compounded/polished and sealed. Was I wrong? Watch and find out (sorry, it IS on the longer side).
