Turtle Wax Seal and Shine

Washed the wife's car for the first time since using this 3 weeks ago. Using a foam gun and WG auto bathe could not get the foam to cling and get the "snow look". The foam literally was beading up and rolling off. Good stuff. Underrated for sure.

Just beware of the spots on the glass and be sure to do a walk around with a clean finish towel.
 
Neighbor and I did his daughters Altima pearl white. Cool morning and no problems with application. Car did turn out nice :)

Thanks for the heads up MadMerc! I’ll have to have my older brother (Meijer employee) get me a couple bottles of Snow Foam, I’ll get an additional 10% discount. :xyxthumbs:

I just went on Meijer app and saw that Meguiar’s Ultimate and Lucas Chemicals are also on buy one get one half off. Better still, Mobil1 gallons are $12.00 off with mail in rebate printed out at check out, limit 4.
 
Hope I will get a couple of hours of cloudy wheather so I can do a thorough wash and top up the protection. Much needed it looked like on the TW SNS part when it rained today. On the vertical panels I have the new version of Gyeon Wet Coat. Which is looking awesome and the self cleaning ability from it is top notch. The TW SNS is on the horisontall panels and during the summer months gets more beating than the vertical panels does. But the Wet Coat is far ahead of TW SNS. May be that the SNS was a bit comprimised as it where very humid and had a very grabby removal and basicly when I was done it started to rain. So I don't count it out yet LOL.

Have not washed since applyied so it can be revived some the SNS. But on the roof it's 2 areas where it looks like it has failed. Will be doing an update when I have washed the car. And hope to get a good wheather for a new layer of SNS. The Gyeon Wet Coat is very impresive the new version. I have used 2×1L of the old version of Gyeon Wet Coat. And did not get this results from it that I have experienced so far. While the SNS seems to be on it last leg and could be cause of the dirt and the not so good wheather when applyied. The Gyeon Wet Coat was applyied at the same time. The water beads are tight and uniform and great sheeting and looks cleaner than the SNS. So just a little notch from looking freshly applyied. Hope to see the SNS comes back some on it's behavior after the wash. Will try to take before and after pictures when I wash next time.

Next time try the reverse and see how GWC stands up.
 
I tried Turtle Wax Seal and shine as a topper for a ceramic coating on the yearly maintance detail for one of my clients... OH MY GOD!!! It streaked so much! I had to use glass cleaner to remove it. I tried re-wiping in with more product but not matter what I did, all I got was streaks all over the panel the second the product touched it. So if you plan to top off ceramic coating with this product, don't! ;) Reload did a great job once TWSS was off the panel.

Just did my Q50 with S&S over CQuartz and went on without a hitch.

Thinking to apply the GWC on the back part of the roof. And see how it goes. Maybe it would be better to apply it side by side. Could do that on hood easier I think. The time I applyied the SNS was not a good condition to be doing this in. So no fault on the SNS but on user error if anything. And will try to apply on a vertical panel as well. As my main thought of use would be for the winter months here in Sweden. Was eager to try it out when I applyied it last LOL. And also eager to try the new version of Gyeon Wet Coat as well. So was just how I did without any thorough and equal testing in mind. During the winter months here in Sweden the side panels and the back of the car take the most hit and also building up contaminants of tar spots and iron particals more during this time. And with seeing the TW SNS and it's great ability to fight off chemicals and also holds up to them. I think that it could be a great LSP to have during this time for me. So it will be going through a tuff environment when the times comes. And then it's not so much of the water beading. Just on how well it works with all a harsh winter weather is effecting it. And will be doing some more layers off the SNS before the winter comes to build up as much it can be.
 
Okay so finally did a wash on the car with TW SNS. When applyied 6 weeks ago I did a decon wash. The weather was humid and right when I was done it started to rain. And the wipe off feeled grabby. So take what it's worth when I applyied it. The car has not been washed since then.

I saw a couple of days ago when it had rained that a part of both the hood and the roof was showing failure of the SNS. After the ph neutral prewash foam and PW clean rinsing it off it showed total failure. And also after the wash with Carpro Reset car soap it still was dead. To some reference and cause of the finicky application I got. I only applyied SNS on the roof and the hood. The rest got the newer version of Gyeon Wet Coat. And this was like it was newly applyied after the prewash foam and the wash. Some transfered up on small parts of the hood and the roof. It's spreads like crazy LOL.

Here is a picture after the rinse of Carpro Reset car soap. You can see some of the Gyeon Wet Coat beading on the edge to the hood. And how flat the SNS is. SNS was showing no sign of even sheeting.

Maybe it's what to expect from the conditions I applyied SNS in. But on the other hand GWC shows a really strong behavior after the 6 weeks. And from what's been kind of expected longevity from SNS it should last longer than GWC. I will give SNS a try again. Sadly it started to rain again when I was going to apply it LOL. But will be doing it when possible. In better conditions and hope it shows me better results from it.

Reset is a degreaser soap from what I understand. The idea of that product is to strip anything that might be stuck to a ceramic coating. So if you use it on a sealant, I would expect it to damage it.

With all this talk about how chemical resistant this product is, CarPro Reset should not have an impact on it.

In the 1:500 dilution or sometimes weaker I have not experienced it to knock down any protection I have used it on. And it where flat already after the prewash foam and PW clean rinsing it off. 1:5 of the prewash foam in the foamcannon bottle and then 3 on the chemical mix setting on the foamcannon which is graded from 0-10. So no strong solution of the prewash foam either. And from all of the torture testing with TW SNS I think that it should stand up to these products. I used on the GWC on some places even a citrus based tar remover and Sonax Wheel Cleaner Max Effect which is their new stronger bleeding wheel cleaner than the Wheel Cleaner Plus. It didn't even show any degrading from that in the water behavior. And GWC was applyied in very light rain that took on later to more rain.

Either it was the very humid conditions when I applyied it or it's sensetive to be applyied on a very clean and preped paint. But will give it a go again and apply it under better conditions. The grabby wipe off was not what I expected from it. Either the humidity or the just decon washed paint could be what didn't make SNS to bond properly. The spray on rinse off products I have experienced it bonds to not so well preped surfaces very good. So something was going on with my application of SNS. Will see how it goes next time I apply it. But just little over a month vs 4-6 months it's expected to last is strange.
 
I have an unopened bottle sitting here, and wondered if there's any problem cleaning the towel used for buffing? If this holds up to so many different chemical torture tests, how is it removed from a towel using soap, or do you just use an inexpensive soft towel and toss it?

Since TWSnS is not a coating, removing the residue should not pose a problem.
 
Bought it few weeks ago for $5.99 for 2 bottles.

Used it 1st time today as quick drying aid. So far so good.

That red looks amazing! Is there a base LSP on the car or SNS only?

I had clay, sealant and wax on it about couple months ago.

Today, just wash and then Seal N Shine as drying aid, that's it.
