Great test, i was picking the results the same as you. I watched this because i recently bought TW to the Max Wax, yes it is a stupid name, on clearance for $10. That's Australian dollars, so i guess it didn't get any traction over here. I used it on my FJ Cruiser, application was fine, but it is a pain to buff off, especially on the white roof. It's basically gone now, the summer's here can be intense and very hard on waxes, it's got Collinite 845 on it at the moment. Thanks for the test, I'll be making my way through your content, interested to see how my results compare to yours.
The FLEX as a topper to either the Graphene Ceramic Paste or the MAX is a killer all-rounder. May I suggest trying the Pure Shine Graphene Detailer as part of this lineup. It too, is very impressive as a gloss and jetting booster. Good review. My brother is a fan of the Meguiar's Ceramic. I can see why. Shine on you crazy diamond!
Overall I don’t find they are bad products, they are resistive to chemicals, last 2-4 months (jury still out on to the max and graphene paste), are easy to find/buy, have good instructions, and smell nice. Overall their performance is “fine”, but the marketing wank on the label, and they over zealous performances from some other UA-camrs really hurts their credibility to me.
Thanks for taking the time to create this video and share it. In coming weeks plan on dipping my foot into the pool of Flex Wax…excited to see how it looks and works!
Great test as always - one thing I saw someone else (Kelly Harris of LC) doing that I really liked was applying the products to a 3000 grit uniformly sanded panel to show filling and gloss abilities.
I usually polish mine with M110 compound and leave it intentionally swirly/hazy. I find that is more representative to normal worn clear coat than wet sanding marks.
Really great test here, loved how you set it up. The only thing I would have changed is maybe to replace the boutique paste wax with a Meguires Ultimate paste wax or something like that which is more readily available. After watching all of your testing I would have chosen the TW for paste and spray in the conclusion (especially considering the price difference here and now for me is quite minimal for the sprays). Really surprised you picked the other paste in your conclusion, it seemed like TW beat it soundly in your testing. I was debating between trying the paste wax or the liquid wax, so this really helped me to decide. Thanks!
Autoglym at the time wasn’t boutique, at least, not in Canada. And they carry a similar price tag while the Autoglym product comes with 2 applicators and a towel. In the real world I believe the endurance of the Autoglym is better (have to check my old tests) so that’s why I went that way. The graphene paste from turtle wax isn’t bad as a topper/summer wax, but I wouldn’t choose it as a foundation coat.
I found the same thing when the hood of the RAV was first done. Then the light lit and for the rest of the car I used very little and that did the trick. A little goes a very long way.@@barrybij8079
Thank you for the video. I have a question: Between TW Ceramic Graphene Paste Wax and TW To the Max Wax, which one would you recommend to be a base coat?
I’m actually not sure. Conventional wisdom would have it that the paste or liquid would be the better base coat, and the spray would be the topper, but I remember seeing somewhere that the spray is the base and the paste is a topper. Don’t quote me on that, best to check on forums or other parts of the internet where turtle wax is really popular (Reddit).
3 of the TOP chemical durabilty wax products on the market are Turtle Wax Seal and Shine Ceramic plus Canuba Wax, Turtle Wax Graphene Max Wax, and Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax...Seal and Shine $12.99, Turtle Wax Graphene Max Wax $10.88 close out sale out the door at Auto Zone right now I'm buying them as much as I can at this price point, and Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax $25.99. Price to performance these product can't be beat...I personal tested them against the wash test, iron remover test, and brake cleaner test because those are the products I own and after using all these chemicals they lost some of the beading effect but shealthing was still strong...I REAL WORLD Test them...I don't use any type of wax to take out swirl marks or imperfections in the clear coat. I use Synthetic clay bar, Iron remover, & Turtle wax 1 and done compound prior to putting any products on my suv, car, or motorcyles I own...These Turtle Wax products just work and at their price point I don't see any reason to buy anything more expensive...Prep work is the key to getting the best results from the above mentioned product...I also use a minimal 48 hour cure time even though Turtle Wax states these products don't need it....THEY DO NEED IT!
I cured these for 2 weeks inside a temperature controlled garage. They can stand up to a ton of chemicals, but they won’t last more than 3-4 months outside in the real world, where it doesn’t rain brake clean and acid wheel cleaner and paint thinner.

Flex isn’f a bad product, but for the money I find I’ll reach for something else.

Good review. I am a Turtle Wax guy and noticed that Flex drys by itself without water spots after a rain.🇨🇦
I used the flex and had streaks... user error probably but other products I did not have the issue

It streaked for me too, but I believe there is an option to wipe down with a damp MF to remove any streaking (at least, to the max does)?

"GRAPHENE TO THE MAX WAX" if you think this name is difficult to pronounce...you need linguestis terapist

And that’s not the name.
*inhale*
Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro Graphene Infused to the Max Wax.
That is a ridiculously long name.
