Prep and cure time are paramount to the success of this product. Do you have it...and what is YOUR experience?
Apex Detail amazing results. Super easy to use, barely use any, and super gloss. Makes beat up, neglected paint look good. I wonder if it has any spray and rinse capability
Apex Detail I received my delivery from Amazon last Thursday. On Friday I did an Apex detail exfoliation using their new hybrid solutions polish. Waited a full 24 hours then applied the coating. Waited another 24 and applied a second coat. Shine was good and slickness was on par with SnS. Today it’s much slicker and appears to have more pop. Time will tell how long it lasts. I’m in Charlotte so we have relatively mild winters with little snow or ice. Good stuff so far.
waiting on it; thanks for the candid and straight forward review of it. I feel confident in your opinion obviously and my decision even more. Thanks again.
I too like it better than SnS. Best sealant I have tried. Hats off to TW for stepping up their game.
Apex put it up against seal n shine tfs buddy great video
Such a fan of this channel. What people don't realize is that takes a long time to edit these videos in this style! I appreciate the hard work and consistency. Thanks!
Dmocification I realize because my kids are youtubers. It’s a lot of work to do these 3x a week
Me too, much appreciative of Brian's work and these videos! His shop is only about an hour from where I live...might have to stop by there one day!
@@edo-j1784 You are welcome anytime Ed!🙂
@@apexdetail85 I Definitely will, thank you! Would really like to meet the man behind Apex Detail's GREAT work! I will let you know a day and you tell me if it works for you!
Agreed. My videos take me about 18 hours to edit.So he deserves all the views he can get! Glad someone said that!
Once again, I thank you for all your efforts. As a person on a fixed income, I need to know my best options. There's just no room for $50+ products in my budget. Thank You.
I second that!
I got it on release day from Amazon. My whole car is black and has ceramic coating but I had to remove it on the hood to fix paint chips. After applying this product it almost look like it was the ceramic coating. I love it...
Been using it a little while now and it's pretty amazing. I only hand Polish but still the results are amazing. The paint on my car is over 30yo and there isn't much paint left but what there is these products are brilliant!
Hello from Australia.
I drive a 1989 Holden Commodore VN APV group5i
From Professional such as you, I Highly recommended the new Turtle Wax Hybrid Solution Line of products. I am a driveway detailer and have successfully used all the Hybrid Solution products starting about 7 months ago. As you always say, "Preparation is Key" for a successful detail. For those who are getting at least 7 month satisfaction, they probably didn't prepare their cars properly. For both of my cars, at the 6 month timeline, I wash the cars with Turtle Wax Hybrid Soap, then use their Wet Wax, finally added their Ceramic Coating again. And it was back to Perfection. I live in the Midwest & experience terrible winters, so I used ONR once a week and their spray detailer to keep winter road grime off the cars. I am confident, I will get at least 1 year of protection! I only used traditional contact wash twice during 6 month period with the Turtle Wax Hybrid Soap. Thanks Brian for your Excellent Wealth of Knowledge, Keep Up the Great Work! and Thanks to Turtle Wax!
I've been using Seal n Shine for a while. It remains one of the absolute BEST spray detailers on earth period!
I've also used this new Ceramic spray. It is also a winner. It also smells great.
For my $$$, ICE Seal n Shine wins for overall value and performance.
Both should be in your arsenal. 💯
Smells great? I guess you have ceramic coated lungs....
TRUTH SEEKER Since when do people smell with their lungs?
Does apply ontrim
@@truthseeker8483 😂
Thanks Brian for giving the product a proper cure time. You're the best!
Phenomenal product. I was sold the first time I saw this and every bit as impressed today after so many companies are bringing out their products. I was using TLC2 but have switched to TW solutions ceramic spray. Love this stuff.
If i remember correctly, Turtle Wax said to apply the second coat 24 hrs later after the first one has cured and then wait another 24 hrs for best results.
Brian I got the most out of my applications this way...just saying. Wait 2 hours between coats.
Apex Detail it was a great vid! I just wasn’t sure if it was better or not but regardless it’s a fantastic produxt. Thanks for making this vid!
Brian as detailers ...we don’t have the privilege of 24 hours to wait for the second coat. But I am glad you brought that up. Thank you. 😁👍
This pretty much answered the question. Ain't nobody got time for dat. Seal N Shine all the way lol.
Was thinking that too but I think this is the best I've seen it perform. Better technique.
Has anyone tried using this stuff on the interior of the vehicle. Dashboard/Door panels etc. After being properly cleaned first of course. Absolutely LOVE all the vids Brian, you are my absolute go to when I need answers and help with anything detailing related. 👍👍👍
Did you give it a try?
@@dnnsnv11 I did, and so far so good. I've only dusted the surfaces since I've applied it and it still looks great. I've done door sills, door jambs and every other part of interior plastics. I didn't use it on leather seats. But everything else is 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks so much for your videos on this. I switched from the Meguiar's synthetic sealant wax, which looks to be out of production, and the good ceramic coatings cost my clients extra for me to use them, they were a pain to apply, and after a winter in our climate and car washes, the ceramic life of 2 years would be cut down by a lot. The Seal & Shine is even easier to apply than my regular spray wax, looks great, and holds up great. On balance looking at cost, reliability, and consistency, this is my best option right now and I order direct from Turtle Wax. It's also great to protect on top of existing ceramics and polymer sealers. My clients are happy. I'm happy. I never would have thought a few years ago that I'd be relying on a TW product.
I think ppl are confused about curing
You can’t leave ceramic on paint and wait awhile to wipe off. This is what causes problems, the least of which is streaking.
It’s not like a sealant or even wax for that matter where you leave it sit 30 minutes and wipe off.
You spray on, maybe wait 10 seconds and wipe off.
The cure time is the time from when you wipe it off until you
Expose it to the elements, particularly rain.
Don’t leave ceramic sit on paint long before wiping off.
Hope it helps
I used this product on my new 2020 Corvette. I let cure for 48 hours then applied a second coat. 5 months later it looks like the 1st day after I applied it. I highly recommend it.
Was looking forward to this test. Going to pick a bottle of this up once my Meguiars HCW is gone. Great work as always!
Great job as always Brian. Turtle wax hybrid solutions is probably a great product . The only issue I'm having is the cure time. You have to allow 24 hours cure time after the one step polish and wax before you apply the ceramic spray coating then another 24 hours if you choose to apply a second coat . Please let me know if I'm understanding this correctly. Keep up the great videos.
Loving the new ceramic spray. All that I loved about seal and shine, but better. Would love to see Technicians Choice ceramic go through this new test, especially looking at how the gloss holds up
Brian congrats on hitting 50k subscribers. Your channel is the best hands down. Thanks for all you do. Always learn something when I watch you.
TW has done their homework I'll give them that. I put S&S on my 4x4 late September. Took it to the mountains for a week and back (1,800 miles). Had snow, rain dust, dirt. Washed with some TW Ice Snow Foam wash. Use Eagle 1 Wipe & Shine or TLC Amp as a quick detailer and it looks as good as they day I applied the S&S. Today it rained and water slipped right off. This will be my next sealant to try.
@@gtbigdog3507 Wow, don't know what to say? Bad batch? I cleaned my truck throughly then applied the S&S. I let it sit for over 24 hrs before driving and I keep it garaged. Been good for almost 2 months now?
dj 91 I was mistaken. Seal and shine lasts a long time. I was thinking of another product
I like the new gloss reading after testing, yes a bit better on gloss and protection. Still any of these products are a going to keep that TW-pride!
Requesting: TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating Technician's Choice TEC 582 Ceramic Detail Spray.
I echo that request
I too was going to request this! Thanks Brian!
I would like to see those 2 along with DPC Kingsguard in a 3 way torture test.
Im pretty sure TW will outlast 582.
@@c6z061 I'm pretty sure it will yoo, but since I use many of these types of products as drying aids, I don't care too much about chemical longevity... I'm more interested in gloss readings, slickness, etc.
I was never a big fan of turtle wax products but I saw this on the shelf at Halfords. As it was part of a new line of detailing products by turtle wax I decided to give it a go.
I applied the first coat, and then the second 24hrs later. Have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the results. It's totally changed the paintwork on my car very deep and high gloss.
Would definitely recommend.
Brian Mccarroll please tell do we have to polish our car before applying it or we can just apply it after the wash
@@funnyworld1137 You can absolutely go straight to Turtle Wax after washing the Vehicle. However, To get the most out of TW or any product claying 1st and a light Polish would be the best.
I have been experimenting with numerous Sio2 products over the past two years and I have discovered that ceramics really just aren’t for normal ppl who do a soap and water wash once or twice a week once the car has become filthy enough to need it. I have learned it kindof has to be taken care of if you want the look to last which I do twice a day with whatever sio2 spray detailer I am using at the time. My car hasn’t been “water washed” in close to 6 months. I have also found that a good 9H sealant does wonders for added protection not only for the Sio2 product application but for the car itself as well.
Got it on, put a coat on the windows, door jams, and the wheels and bumpers. Now, letting it CURE A GO LONG TIME. thank you Bryan, very good video.
Would love to see Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coatings go up against a real deal ceramic coating like CQuarts.
ddn79 I don’t have ceramic coating $$$ from a specialist so the spray is good enough!
Purchased this today. Did a trial run on the wardens SUV. It really gets better after hours of curing. Really impressive. Only applied one coat. The bonus is that it can go on any surface. I cleaned the glass with my glass cleaner after because it looked like it left a greasy residue on it.
Got mine last week. Already used on wife’s car and my own. Super easy to use and really like the extra shine was able to bring to a silver and white car! Great job TW!
I have a new silver ram and have been looking for the perfect product for 3-4 weeks.Going crazy watching hours and hours of videos and reading countless reviews and responses.The truck has been polished in my garage sitting for the past week and have been looking for a product that makes that color POP...Nobody really seems to do much with silver vehicles on UA-cam.Your comment on the silver made up my mind...Thanks...
No problem, I thought it worked good. Silver is tough and it is a new car for wife. Brian has a new video where he reviews a polish that he says really works well on silver. May want to look into that as well.
We purchased a couple bottles that we will be using on a couple daily drivers this weekend. They will cure over night before hitting the road. Thx Apex for great videos. Looking forward to seeing how it lasts in the Ohio salt and brine along w/ beet juice theyve been pre-treating the roads with
Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray is my new go to coating - replaced everything else.
I just started using this Turtle Wax product. It seems to be the best product in pretty much every product comparison test. I was impressed by how easily it went on on a clear cool 72-degree (f) evening. The car looks great in the fading evening sun. It'll be covered in pollen before the morning though. But the paint will be protected.
This stuff is amazing. I applied two Applications to a New Car that was sitting on the Lot for 6 months, and without no prep work other then a Wash it gave me well past the 12 Month's of protection and strong.
Hey Brian on the torture testing with the chemicals that are on the roads, wouldn’t it be better to let it dry when you spray it on? The reason I ask this is most people don’t spray their cars off immediately after it’s rained and drove on the roads. Sorry if that’s a dumb question but I’m just thinking realistic.
Love this stuff. To me it is super easy to apply, unlike say CMX that can dry and streak on you. I'm not sure it lasts 12 months outdoors, but so easy to apply I don't care to recoat every 5-6 months. I find that after washing, if you use the the Turtle Wax Wet Ceramic to dry your paint, beeding and gloss level performance is restored.
Maybe not as good as professional products, but nothing compares to how easy it is to apply. Spend the time to first paint correct and you will be amazed even with 20 year old paint. Love this on my new BRZ.
Exactly the test I was looking for between the two products. Indeed, letting it cure to the proper time is Key. Thanks for another in-depth video Brian. Update!!! I still think seal & shine is stronger. And Topped with beadmaker, they are both from the sealent family, shine & durabilty.
That's two products against one easy to apply and remove, seems TW is the best budget/product for the daily driver vehicle I've seen so far. I was a long time fan of Maguire products but I'm going to try out TW...
Brian - I dont know if you'll see this comment but I wanted to get your thoughts on durability. Turtle Wax claims 12 months of protection. Any experience on longevity of this product?
Somewhere between 6 to 8 months depending on user maintenance and of course proper preparation
Love how this product beads the chemicals, just like seal and shine.
Update today I drove my Scion TC on a very rainy day and it still looks clean my car outshines most peoples easly but yes I spend up too a 11 hours prepping before application I certainly would give this product a 5 star rating I am now going to purchase all of their ceramic infused products its easy to use and if you take your time the results are amazing
I would apply the first coat, wait 24 hours, do a quick wash and rinse and then apply the second coat. I'm looking forward to using this on my black 370Z until the graphene coating technology matures. I currently have a professionally applied Opti-Coat Pro+ on my car but had to have 3 panels repainted; I'm not going to reapply an expensive ceramic coat. In the real world, a daily driver will get scratches and so it doesn't make sense to me to put a ceramic coating that will probably have to be polished out anyway. This TW hybrid ceramic line looks like a good substitute coating.
Another great, professional video! Thank you Brian for your time and dedication in making these.
I appreciate it!! Wow, Seal N Shine met it's match! Durability AND gloss!!! Yay!!!!!
So wait, since the gloss meter shows it only dropped a point or two after the chemical tests, does that mean it's still alive on the paint? And only the water beading characteristic diminished?
Soap A exactly!👍
Beading isn’t very tight. However, it looks easy to use, big gloss increase, and very durable. Thanks for the video!
Brewinz it’s easier to use that their ceramic detailer
@@gtbigdog3507 wow, you think it'd be the opposite.
I was a fan of Maguire's Ceramic, love the smell too... However, this video matches up with another that I saw on the best ceramics.. Looks like I'll be trying out this Turtle Wax product this weekend! Straight forward test procedures! Good information, Thanks!
As the new owner of an 06 Raven Black Cadillac,garage kept,but hasn’t had a wax job in years,this is the route I’m takin,go from there,no more wax on,wax off for this boy,thanks for the review 👍
What would you put over this for extra gloss or a quick detailer that glosses? would Bead Maker work on top of it?
symphx - I have used Bead Maker on top. It’s much slicker, in my opinion, but doesn’t last as long. Which is a good thing. Makes for a good topper
Just bought a new ram and looked at all the different coatings that are on the market and watching the video of the turtle wax ceramic coating made me a believer in the product. I do use all the turtle wax products and must not have been paying much attention to looking real hard for this one product. Will be going and getting some real soon.
Happy to see this product being tested!! :-)- why did you leave the haze from the rotary buffer and not finish with a polish! does this product have filling capacities ??/
it sure put up great numbers!1 and the square area was really defined and easy to see right thru the test!! Awesome job as Always Boss!! You're the Best!! i will recommend it to my friends!
Thanks Brian! I've been waiting for this vid! I've applied it to my car and left it on for a few days. I then tried to get it off with 2 rounds of totally awesome and it took 4 rounds to get it completely off! Good stuff and Damn durable! Love it!
I'll tell ya though, don't get it on your skin because it caused a breakout of rashes on me. Idk if it's the product or just me....
I have the Wash & Wax version, and I apply it, after I have done a contact wash, using a fine Mist Applicator. Leave a few minutes (3 or 4 at most) and then just rinse it off. The Gloss is amazing and the plastic trims are renewed. I'm just a weekend warrior and I'm very happy with the results. There's probably better products, but for a daily driver, this is a great product.
Wash, Decon, Polish, Apply Ceramic Spray Coating, 24hr cure time, 2nd application this time 1 spray per panel, then use bead maker or megs ceramic detailer as a drying aid and results are mindblowing.
6/6/20 had plenty of time to check out the full line of TW ceramics. I Must say unbelievable quality and ease of use price is totally unbeatable. It Can compete w v expensive hard too get brands np. Big thumbs up 👍🏻
Hi Brian. Trust you doing well. I think is a great video...i personally preped my car with this range, polished it with the ceramic polish and wax, let it cure and with the maintanence wash i used the ceramix wash and wax and topped it off with the ceramic spray coating and i have to say they work amazing together.
If you read the instructions, you are only supposed to put about 3-4 sprays of this product per panel for optimum results. I'm not sure if by overloading the panel with spray made it any better. No doubt the stuff works very well regardless.
Honda Dude - If anything, it would be more difficult to buff off. It’s a tacky solution, and I follow up with a damp microfiber towel on high spots or when over-applied a panel.
The best test and review of Turtle Ceramic Coating! Thank you!
Turtle Wax is the BEST hands down. Only product I will use and I truly trust it. It WORKS!!
I cant wait to use it.. Im gonna wait and get it in the store.. I did just get done with a 2011 Crown Vic.. 2 stage paint correction followed by seal and shine 👌🏼😎
You can apply over the previous coating and it works well with ONR as a prep wash. I did the same method and was using Ice Spray Wax and had no issues bonding to other coatings. Still looks amazing after two months parked in the weather.
Might sound strange, but I really enjoy the sounds of car detailing. Even if its just water spraying on the panel, or soap splashing on the ground. Enjoyed immensely!!
I would love to see you do this with The Last Coat v2 and see the gloss readings!
Ok...just a bunch of observations on Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray wax.....extremely....easy to apply and buff out on cars..but I have used it on any item where dirt, oil, gunk builds up and it sheds it off surfaces easily...bottom line...this great product I found has mannnnnnny diff uses besides car detailing: inside chainsaw clutch covers to shed gunk build up, golf clubs, stainless steel grills, stove tops, tool chests/roller cabinets, small engines, smartphone/iPad screens , etc...not sure how long it lasts, but short term debris sheds off it, simple rinse off or air gun blowoff....Seems it is so easy to app,y, and 1-2 squirts on a rag or old microfiber cloth coats everything sufficiently, and still allow 24 hr cure time and second coat too. Worth trying imo!.
I tried spraying the product onto an applicator and had terrible results. It may work for the small square you do on a piece of scrap but for my pristine 65 GTO it was a disaster. Tons of streaks. I redid it spraying directly onto the panel and immediately spreading with a Rag Co. towel and then "buffing to perfection" with another towel and the results were great.
Thank you Brian for your time, much appreciated
Brian, as usual another great informative non bias video. I think this TW Spray ceramic is awesome, you wete able to get really good gloss, and the panel was somewhat beat up from the Rotary, so on a nicely flat panel you may have eeked out a couple more points, though considering it was a 13 point jump, that maybe a record. This is great for the average Joe who wants thier vehicle to look nice , that requires no special skills, is easy to obtain, and doesn't break the bank. For a mobile detailer, I'd say this is a no brainer. For any detailer I think this could be a very profitable addition to many packages ( and imo you over deliver, using TW Hybrid Spray Ceramic Coating, with no loss of money or time). I also think this is a very good product to use after a paint enhancement for the enthusiast, or Pro Detailer; I'm guessing we'll see an example from you using thier Hybrid Solutions Polish and wax for an enhancement or one step, and adding additional protection from the TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray.
Definitely a big improvement in gloss, what product have you used that's even better?
Can you apply this on top of Seal and Shine? Would it be more beneficial, added protection or makes no difference, or its a negative and will diminish the effectiveness? For some of us that already use Seal and Shine, its an added step to strip if off before applying this onto an already shiny surface. Just curious about that idea.
Any kind of demonstration that you could devise that would leave no doubt between self-cleaning properties of these newer economical ceramic spray-ons vs non ceramic sealants, i.e., Beadmaker, Seal n Shine, Ult. Fast Finish, Eagle One Wipe n Shine, ... ?
Gyeon Wet Coat self cleaning properties surpasses UFF and TWs&s imo
The GLOSS METER doesn't lie and I can't wait to use TW this Thursday. Would it be possible to lock in Bead Maker gloss with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions???
I'd love to know this as well
Bead maker did not have anywhere near the gloss this has. Bead maker scored in the mid 80 if I remember correctly.
@@jwill9877 I saw Bead Maker at 98 and 3 different channels saying it was the highest they have seen.
m-ok - my experience is beadmaker lasts a week but the shine is fantastic
I wish I could try my products but everything is still boxed up from the move. The room I have for my products and videos is having a wall completely replaced with new windows. Needlessly to say it may be a while. It’s been fun watching you use them and they all look great so far.
Excellent video, thank you. Straightforward, no nonsense, no music playing over the top. Motorcycles are my thing. Have you done videos for cleaning, protecting and finishing engines, alloys (blocks, bolts, brushed finished surfaces), brushed stainless, chrome, matt paint surfaces, satin surfaces such as handlebars. Phantom black Triumph Rocket 3 owner. Thank you.
PS What's IPA? Around here it's beer 🍺 😀
Are ceramic spray supposed to prevent the car from getting dry? Last night, it rained and I noticed that the only cars on my block that still has rain drops are the two that I have applied ceramic coating. All other cars were completely dry.
Great point as I noticed the same.
How does this compare to F-11 or Maquires or torque ?ill spend the money , but I’m confused which one to get ?
What’s the highest gloss you’ve ever recorded and what product?
Apex Detail please answer this question wondering myself aswell?
Hmmm! 🤔
Answer please
its most likely from a combination of productions and excellent prep work beforehand!
I think he got 99 or 100 by applying TAC system one step master. He said that was the highest reading back then. Not sure if other product has beaten that record yet.
Well am sold its better than seal and shine but what if you mix them both together I wonder what would happen
Do you know what happens if you split an atom? Well, same concept
Sorry but i got this and it was a total fail. Sprayed it on and it never seemed to dry. Waited hours. Then when i tried to wipe off it smeared and was super tacky or stuck on that i had to put a lot of force down and rub to get it to swirl a bit and then come off.
I ended up putting turle wax with carnuba over it and then buffing that off and it took it off with it.
Tried again another day on just the hood and same result. And yes i shook the bottle and followed the instructions.
This went straight to the trash. Keeping it old school here on out.
Mine is in the mail as I speak, that was Awesome. It seems to have all the properties that I've been looking for. I have TLC2 on my 92 miata. It seems to be pretty good but cant wait to get the TW ceramic spray. You and Jimbo are my go to guys for testing products.
I am a Nu Finish liquid from Walmart guy, after rubbing compound or Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish for paint scratches. I might use this right before selling a car.
Autogeek carries these hybrid lines.25% off good deal when on sale.
You sprayed way too much. They say 1-2 sprays a panel because the solution is highly concentrated. And you put like 4-5 on that tiny square.
I tried it using the 1-2 sprays per panel recommend in the directions and the results were much worse.
Based on this video it looks like for best results, you want to use way more than the directions dictate.
8 used it 9n my sister Chrysler 300d swirls got a 21 long throw and use Groot's fast correction cream then polished it out then topped it with ceramic spray polish 8mpressive she was impressed with it looks great
I used it is a very good product my neighbours say thats the best looking car and its a 6 year old Scion Tc I simply clayed first and use a 3 bucket wash system live in Northern Canada where temps reach - 40 in the winter.
After you apply it let it dry real good a minimum of 2-5 minutes before micro polishing it off .......If it dries well it should feel a bit greasy while you remove it...... that means it got into the finish really good ....... This stuff is very amazing ! ...... you need to hit it with degreaser to get it off ......
Impressive looks, durability and ease of use. The beading is slightly disappointing, however. It's good but not super hydrophobic like other SiO2 enhanced sealants. Still, it seems like a solid product.
Just fully detailed my vehicle last week with tw seal and shine, was not super impressed with the gloss or slickness on black vehicle but I used it more for the outstanding protection going into Michigan winter. Would this be good to throw over top?
Hi Brian... great content as always. What I’d like to know is after applying the first coat and I let that cure for 24hrs...Even if my car is parked in a garage, before I apply the second coat my car will still have fine dust particles so it was sitting for 24hrs. Should i wash my car and then apply the second coat? What would you suggest?
I’m impressed with the product for what I can tell through the video. The ease of use is excellent and the gloss is a great jump.The price is right.Thanks again Brian ✊💎
Can you re-use the microfiber applicators or do they need to be tossed out?
It is not a true ceramic product so it wont ruin towels or applicator pads
Prepare a bucket with Water and APC to soak in before you wash it
Only highly concentrated coatings ruin towels...as Carlos mentions...soak them straight away before the sio2 gets a chance to cure.
@@apexdetail85 Hey Brian, I was reluctant to use this product because I saw on another video that it will ruin high-quality microfibres, so I thought it was not worth changing from S&S. If I do switch to this, is there a proper way to care for the towels? Do they need to be washed right after applying the coating?
Upon seeing this video and all professionalism behind it, hurriedly liked n subscribed :)
If you polish with their ceramic polish then apply it, do the products work synergistically or doesn’t matter. I did parts of my car this weekend with both(Hood, Roof, front door and front side panels), but weather has been perfect. Polish did work great getting some decent imperfections out though, and I’m a super beginner.
Curious about how well this works with the new hybrid ceramic polish. I know they are made to work together but I’m curious, if you did a one step with the ceramic polish, then finished off with the ceramic spray how much it would boost durability and gloss.
Considering doing just this to my daily driver.
My garage queen is coated in cquartz uk and Gliss which I love, but I don’t want to go through all that for my daily beater.
hi APEX Detail love what you do and the cure times are key and glad you do it. My question is can you top the hybrid solution ceramic spray with ice or seal & shine to increase it's protection? two is better then one. Asking because I have hybrid solution ceramic spray on my car right now and hope to make it last longer. You know I not sure I like the beading when it rains my car is full of bead and every car is dry it looks great and I should be proud. But when it dries its full of water spots so I'm out there drying the car after it rains my neighbors thing I'm nuts I think I'm nuts .
They need to add an anti-static additive. After applying it attracts dirt, pollen etc. I works well for beading up water, but the static issue is bad.
Brian- Please put every wax/sealant/coating from now-on through the 10 wash test before using chemicals. Thx
what do you recommend as a lubricant/drying aid when towel drying a coated vehicle? Thank you
I'm only a weekend warrior who wants to learn more on how to detail my car. Kindly tell me the steps to take before applying turtle wax hybrid ceramic spray coz I think it's a very good product. My paint has never been treated by any protection and have hood watermarks and orange spots, roadtar on the sides and few very light scrathes. Would appreciate it much if you could send me detailed steps to do it sir.
Thank you Brian for taking the time to do this test. Looks like another great product to try from TW. On another note what drying microfiber towel were you using? It really look like it did a fantastic job.
Was looking forward to your review on this!
Thank you for all your hard work making this video keeping the public informed. On a vehicle that has been coated with Turtle Hybrid solutions Ceramic spray, that is parked outdoors 365 days a year, washed once every two weeks, what car wash soap would you recommend when using a foam cannon that will foam more than Turtle Ceramic wash & wax that offer the same or close benefits? I would like to use a soap that would not affect the performance of the Turtle Ceramic coating. Topping with Turtle Ceramic Wet Wax or other recommended product periodically after washing.
I’ve clayed, polished and waxed my car with Griot’s poly wax about two months ago. I’ve applied seal and shine last week as well. You think I can just apply this on top? I don’t want to strip everything off. I know preparation is key but my surface stays clean as I wash 2x week.
Just like Project Farm for detail folks! Great channel!
Awesome video, tell more about your garage flooring though.. How well does it drain? Any issues of them clogging up? Will the flooring work on a uneven garage floor? Thanks
Good test Brian, I personally miss the side by side comparisons on the panel, Only real way to see how it compares. I’ve seen some tests out there where it is not as durable as seal and shine (and yes the new ceramic spray had proper cure time) your vids are great, keep doing what you do, but for what it’s worth the older style vids you where doing with the side by side comparisons on the same panel with the heat gun for durability and the board with the different categories seemed like a better and more thorough test procedure for sure.
I will do more side by side.👍
what do you recommend for prep for the average joe? I don't have a polisher but would be willing to invest in it to achieve these results.
