Another quick review of a new product I used. There are many reviews on this product but one more may not hurt

This is a 2008 buick enclave with 150 000 miles, its been driving all year long including harsh winters in Canada. It has also been driving from toronto to miami 4 times and it has always been kept parked outside. I do not wash this car regularly , I try to do it once every 2 months or so. No previous ceramic coating applied to this car. Only sealants once or twice a year.

I bought the turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray because it was cheap , on sale and it offered longer durability. I read very good reviews on seal and shine already but I decided to step it up a bit a more. I would've preferred to try turtle wax graphene on this car but it was not available at a time and after seeing the prices on the graphene product, I think I ll stick to this for now

Im not proud of the prepwork on this car, I did iron x , no clay , and a quick hand polish. The car can fit in my garage but its a tight fit and the weather outside is just too cold to do any proper polish. Still , the car was lightly polished in September so that is close enough

Prep work

1- Iron X
2 - Car wash
3 - Hand Polish with M205
4 - Eraser Panel Wipe
5 - turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray 2 coats, 24 hours apart

Review

Application - Spray on , wipe off immediately, very easy to apply and wipe off. I used a suede applicator for this product , the product does not get sticky , its surprisingly very thin , like a diluted product type of feeling. I was a bit worry that it did not feel sticky at all.

Glossiness - Very pleased on this department, the color just pops , it looks pretty damn good on a dark color car. For a 20 dollar product this is truly amazing on this department, assuming this product lasts longer than beadmaker.

Slickness - The surface feels slick , but it is not as slick as other products ( beadmaker, the last coat black ice ), I was not too impressed here, but I was not disappointed .

Durability - I had this product on the car for a few weeks already , it has snow and rain quite a bit lately, it been through 3 car washes and it has seen salt on the road a few times . The product its still there and it still shines like the day I put it on .

Lastly the car keeps itself clean after the snow melts, it reminds me a lot of my ceramic coating on my bmw , where the car just seems to stay clean after rain or snow . Its also easier to clean , ONR washes are very quick and my towel does not get as dirty as before .
 
Ive been using Turtle Wax Ceramic Wet Wax but Im thinking in using Ceramic Spray as base layer and Wet Wax as a topper.

Yes I was thinking the samething. I m digging the turtle wax line up .

The graphene stuff is tempting too , but at 40$ canadian, its up there in price with other great products.

How do you like the wet wax?
 
Wet Wax is really good. You get really good shine, slickness and water beading.

nice!!, I ll order it and try it myself. I got the feeling that I m going to start shifting more into the turtle wax line up . Really tempted to get their graphene stuff too.
 
Oh man...


It's been so long since I had to detail a car on freezing temperatures...

Much respect to you and anyone that's detailing cars in this type of climate...

thanks Mike ! that means a lot coming from you!
 
Is a topper like the Wet Wax necessary? I was going to purchase the BlackFire ceramic coating for my black MDX but am not sure how much longer I am going to keep it, so I just purchased the TW Ceramic Spray and am now wondering do I need to top it with something like Wet Wax. I was planning on putting on two coats of the TW Ceramic Spray and not apply a topper.

IMO if your base needs a topper to get gloss, slickness, beading or whatever, than why bother with the base and just use the topper.


Oh, and if you think that the topper is giving you added protection, just do 2 coats of the topper.

That's what I was thinking. But I had been thinking about what I will use for a drying aid because I have used a drying aid like Chemical Guys V7 for a while and might would use the TW Wet Wax as a drying aid. I will apply two coats of the TW Ceramic Spray and see how that does.

That seems to be a good combo.
 
I use it between wax jobs after a wash and it makes beading pretty impressive and it will last a few weeks, perfect for what I need it for.
