Turtle Wax Seal and Shine

NJNinja said:
A month later. Just rained today. How can I get more shine in addition to using TWSNS? As I've said before, it looks good, but not great.

If you weren’t wowed by the shine originally, maybe adding another coat would improve it... other choices are
- pick another, fancier SiO2-ish topper (or ICE Spray Wax)
- Or try some QDs which usually add a very nice, slick shine for a few days. The new PBL SiO2 QD, WG Waterless Wash, CarPro Elixir, IGL EcoShine Enhancer, or other SiO2 QD is an option.
- Or, Wolfgang SiO2 Car Wash, which definitely adds gloss (and additional protection that beads really nice) for more than a few days.

NOTE: If you are reading this tonight, AG has the Buy One Try One deal: buy WG SiO2 Spray Sealant, get either WG Waterless Wash or WG SiO2 Car Wash.
 
I use the ICE Spray Detailer after the wash, it makes the shine really pop.
 
Ice Spray Wax adds more pop than SNS and they work well together.
 
Much better experience this time when I applyied SNS in a not high humidity. Have half of the hood with SNS and HCW. And the last wash was SNS a notch ahead before the wash. After the wash it's equal again so SNS stay cleaner a little better than HCW.

Got so curious when Jon at The Forensic Detailing Channel on Youtube did show a product during his testing that he was impressed with. He doing testing on the spray on rinse off products like HCW and Gyeon Wet Coat and Sonax Spray and Seal and a couple of more of them. The product is another TW product with SNS technology in it. Turtle Wax Dry N Shine is the name of the product. I looked at the US Turtle Wax site but did not find any product like this. So for now it's a TW EU offered product. But who knows this maybe comes your way soon. It will be interesting to see how it looks and performance from it. On the video trailer of the testing these products. He gets a very high gloss reading from Sonax Spray and Seal though. I like this too and have a more look at the carnuaba glow look. The TW DNS he didn't said the numbers but to when he gives a suggestion like this it's useally a really great performer. So looking forward to see the comparison video on the Forensic Detailing Channel soon.

And for you that want some gloss. Test out the Sonax Spray & Seal as it's really great looking. And holds up great too with 3-4 months of great performance from it.

SONAX Spray + Seal, spray sealant, spray-on rinse-off

Whilst driving home in the monsoon tonight it turned into a deluge. I was enjoying watching the beads run up the hood then across the hood as the wind whipped the rain sideways. After I pulled into the garage I snapped these pics.

BTW: closing in on 6” of rain for the day, 4.5” since I got home about 5:45.

Lets face it , TW makes some great products.People that dont like it usually never tried it. It is not as good as some as the $80.00 a bottle stuff , but for the price its hard to beat. Most of the paints good looks come from the polishing, not from the sealer. Ive used many different good products, some better then others. TW may not make the best but its well up there.

I have yet to try the TW Seal & Shine (I have WAY too many products).

But I am convinced it is a great product from all of the shared experiences here.

Turtle wax has that stigma of being remembered as "That old wax my dad used" or..... "The stuff they gave away on game shows back in the 70's".

While this may be true, they were also one of the very few in the market back then that people actually recognized. (How many people talked about Collinite in 1977? )

Fast forward to today, and it is obvious they are serious about competing in the rapidly growing line of fine paint care products sold nowadays.
 
I got some overspray on all my windows and now have Seal & Shine etched on my glass, I can't seem to get rid of it, it's like hazy water spots.

Anyone had this issue before?

Don't think that it has etched the glass. Remember that the TW SNS is very durable so the overspray that gets fully cured can be hard to get it off with chemicals. The easiest fix I think would be if you have a polisher and a polish and polishing pad. And some passes and you would see it come off. What APCs do you have or any other cleaning products for vehicals at home? It may take some application of it with strong dilution and should desolve it. You could use like a bug sponge when you clean the glass to get a more aggressive aggitations. If you clean it very thoroughly first and do a little test spot with a magic sponge could work too. And if it happens again and you notice it in time another spray with the SNS could be able to reactivate it so you can buff it off.

What about a paint cleanser? Or better yet something like McKee’s Glass Restoring Polish?

Absolutely! I kind bunched them in with a polish. Any abrasive and even a non abrasive but on polisher.
 
Hi here in New Zealand we have TW Seal & Shine but it's not Ice.
Is there a difference?

How well does this work as a drying aid? Thanks.

I've used it before as such. IMO it does a good job as a drying aid. Very similar to DG Aquawax.
