I agree, spray waxes for ease of use or rather speed but there's something old school about hand waxing a car. Also if you polish, would you then apply a spray ceramic wax after🤔?
As a business decision for my normal production line details, it would definitely have been a spray on like Black Ice, but it didn't live up to it's promise of 12 months, so if TW 75 lasts 12 months, well that would change the game, especially having the ability to share the information on what the product really is.
Bought this when it first came out. Best paste wax out there and the durability is excellent. After 2 months and 5 washes still looks great. Worth every penny.
Turtle wax ceramic and graphene paste wax lasting? realistic? Without any further protection? And with 3 layers? With 4 hours application in between? And approx 18 hours protective enviroment and dry it will be realistic scenario 9 months at least? What do you reckon? With approx 4 application layers... 2 straight away and the other 2 additional after 6 hours and then car was inside in the garage for approx 14 16 hours! So do you recommended and reckon that it will have at least 9 months? How often do you recommended to re apply for? Every 2 or 3 months? How. Many layers? 2 to 3 layers and to stay at least 12 hours inside in a garage?
I use this every august and it lasts a realistic year.. I wash both cars, clay bar both, then put two coats of this on two very clean cars.. both are garage kept every night, and again, religiously cleaned weekly. Glass i clean with distilled water and two caps of white industrial vinegar, I also run mcguires compound on my glass.. it removes water spots and makes your glass as clear and perfect as possible.. But, i have tried the hydro gel chemical brothers, but still this works better..
Turtle wax has really put out some great products over the past few years - they used to be low end back in the day but really have changed their image.
@@epicautomotivedetailing agreed. These new ceramic sprays are amazingly easy to use, work well and make the car look amazing. Since the first spray came about others have joined and mostly all get good reviews. Being an old timer used to planning a day to hand wax your car, these new sprays are a godsend! I try them all. Wanted to get my hands on this TW but it is sold out everywhere! My 2008 C300 looks like it is brand new because I take care of it using all these good products. Some call it a chore. I call it personal therapy. :)

This is the one that doesn't cause nasal n skin allergies,due paste foam, rather than fumes. Loved it! Using Soft99 paste too. Gorgeous SL n results! Thanks for video, stay safe!
On the cars I work on, I like to use wax as a final stage protection. Autoglym ultra HD, Bilt hamber speed wax, and Harley carnauba wax are my go to products. 99% of my work is on classic and historic vehicles, and the owners like to see there cars have been waxed in the traditional way.
That's a very good way to look at it. Traditional waxing not normally for me until the other day. Then again I tested graphene spray today and that made question which I prefer
I have applied 3 coats of the "75" on my flat red GTI. Respectfully Imho red is as rewarding as black and the results of this wax on the red has been as good as what you see here. Gloss, depth of color as well as better than decent durability has me hoping that TW will in some way continue this wax. It is freakin extraordinary. Three- four weeks on - topped with the FLEX Graphene spray is mf'ing astounding.
I’ve got magnetic gray metallic and let me tell you the depth, gloss, and flake that came after using this stuff was crazy and only improved after topping with P&S beadmaker. Now every wash I use beadmaker as a drying aid to just keep up the protection and the gloss and slickness is incredible
@@schmidtygt yes, that paste brings out the best "look" on everything. And that is just one of it's virtues. I personally have not used Beadmaker but if it works for you and gives you "pride the ride" then "shine on you crazy diamond!"
I use the turtle wax ice spray and you would never know my truck is going on 8 years old. I have a Ruby Red 2013 Ford Edge and people are always amazed at how slick and beautiful the shine looks ,especially women . LOve detailing my baby .
I just bought the Turtle wax Color Magic Jet Black. Tested it yesterday. It's impressive. You need to wear gloves. Easy on, easy buffing. It stays black at panel seams and doesn't cure into a white eyesore. $12 US. It can hide small nicks and makes the black look very deep. I will buy more. Great video!
I have been using this wax for about 5 years. I don't drive much since covid as i am still 100% remote, so my car sits a lot, usually a week and only leaves the weekend, so for my car this wax lasts over a year before i apply it again. The wife's car, that's a different story, her car is driven daily and of all things past a Lime processing factory, so every 3 months i have to use a restore product on the plastic, but i still get a year out of this product on the body.. I have tried the hydro chemical brother's ceramic gel. It works well too, but only lasts 6 months..
Thanks Jack. So pleased to help. I love mixing it up so some days are serious, some business, some stupid and some just totally random but I love making them 🙏
First time to your channel, great review so thanks for that. I've always used good quality wax, I think there's nothing more therapeutic than an hour waxing and polished my new paintwork. Fortunately I have time to do this and can't wait for us to receive it hear in Australia. Thanks again.
As you said, this wax have a great profit margin, but I wouldn't say paste waxes are dying! Yes normal waxes with a couple of weeks durability are dying, but waxes like this or the BH Double Speed wax have a good show off potential when it comes to impress customers. My Turtle Wax hopefully comes this Friday! I am excited to try it out.
Thanks mate sorry didnt mean that to be bad against wax. Just based on trending ceramic sprays becoming more popular. Im pleased that waxes are making a bounce back. Ive got a more in depth video on this coming but going to film real world tests first so should be interesting
No worries it wasn't mean at all. I was using spray sealants and lately Hybrid ceramic waxes on cars all the time. I just recently trying out paste waxes like Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax and you are right about return of investment, I just added that it is looking good for customers point of view. Spray waxes are really quick to apply but putting on paste wax is really old school. 😎
I'm more of a ceramic spray fan over paste wax. I like quick and easy fixes. I think if I had a nice car myself I would definitely be tempted for a paste wax because it would be more special to me 😁
I'm glad you're going to actually go back in a couple of weeks and a couple of months to look at the durability of this garlic yes I did take garlic wax if it is as good as soft99 which is also a hand applicated car wax which I can guarantee will last one solid year new graphene sorry garlic wax will be a winner a lot of us guys R looking forward to your future testing of this particular wax a wonder graphene wax
Turtle wax has been quite acceptable ever since they rolled out "Ice". I've had great results with their products over the years. I use everybody's products. Mothers, Meguiars, Turtle Wax, Griot's, Ammo, RainX, and the list goes on. They're all good products. I use Turtle Wax Ceramic on moist conditions, and Mother's Carnauba paste wax on "weekend show projects".
Am with you on all the above. Love this paste from TW. Mother's Carnuba still has its place doesn't it?...on certain paints [imho flat paint] Carnuba still "looks" prime.
Currently I’m using Meguiars Black Wax. On first wax, the wax results a bit more glossy on my 10 years old black car. But after few months as I wax my car once a month, my car looks very amazing at a distance view, like a new paint, deep gloss (however they will see a lot of scratches if at close view). I think it is better to wax once per 1-3 month using good wax, rather than wax once a year, if you very care about gloss.
I don’t wax much these days as it is time consuming but do every now and then. When I do though, I’m always impressed with the look and a lot of waxes have the best beading.
I'm not sure wax is dying out, there seems to be a returned interest in it, even Gyeon have brought out a new product, and it's a wax (Q2). I'm a fan of waxing and use Bilt Hamber - brilliant products across the range. Wax adds depth and enhances colour in a way sealants and sprays can't. It doesn't have the longevity of a ceramic, but it doesn't have the price either. I also find polishing and waxing the car a form of therapy, and just slowly enjoy the process ... and being left alone hah!
I've tried several spray waxes on my new car(s) and older cars. They work well for maybe a month and then die, and that is using quality PH balanced soap. Even with cheaper pastes and liquids, they at least go 3 months before they wear out. I just don't think spray waxes hold up well under the HOT Florida sun, they probably work better for cooler/darker climates- they bond to paint sure, but they don't seem to leave much product behind to help seal and protect the paint.
It looks like waxes are coming back in fashion, I hear more and more new waxes coming from coatings manufacturers and if this TW wax lasts at least 7-9 months, than its a real winner considering its price
In real it wasn't but the camera can't always show true defects but I'll be making an in-depth video and will feature this wax on 10 more videos this year so yes it's coming on another video soon
No matter what, on camera and photos, a car always looks to have paint in good or very good condition. Thats why viewers always say this sort of comments.
I heard mention that gyeon has a new wax that is supposed to be awesome.. new release etc ... love to see a comparison or just your opinions on the two
Just used this wax this morning it's truly amazing to use so simple to work with nothing iv used before is this good infinity wax plus gloss is good but nothing like this well done turtle wax very impressive stuff
Brilliant review. I think for the money, this is ALOT of wax for the money. Especially as there are waxes out there that don't do half of this for twice the value. The gloss was amazing on this, I'll be buying some for my monza rs6 after this review
TW onto another beltin' product, Pan's black Audi demo looked just as good as the Merc does Dave, you could be onto a winner there, look forward to the updates. 🐢🐢🐢
Thanks mate. This car only had a wash and dry and I wanted to put people's minds at rest that prepping ain't everything. Sometimes a good wax is all you need 🙂
Thats interesting as I was under the impression you would polish before waxing. That looked great if it wasn't polished then. What do I do with my new tin of Meguires???
@@andyprior6099 nothing wrong with some Ult Compound/Polish in the summer, before protecting it all again......but you don't need to prep is what Dave is showing.
I do think you could of used pretty much any paste wax on that fairly new car and got the same amount of gloss The graphine thing all seems like the new " ceramic" lable That all new products need to have in order to sell regardless of how much graphine oxide is in them or if it actually works any better than a normal paste wax Would love to see more paste wax tests on your channel really enjoying your videos at the moment some great tips in them
Finally a car wax that has been doing what Nu Finish has been doing all along. I've been using Nu Fish since I was 21, 55 now and it has never let me down. Welcome to the future Turtle Wax
George I tried Nu Finish about 50 years ago and wasn't to happy with it. In fact I used it on my parents car, which was a newer car. It really didn't make the car shine and then after only 3 weeks it had disappeared. Then I tried it on my sisters 58 ford Fairlane hard top convertible. Which the paint was a little faded, because of its age. And Nu Finish didn't do anything. It didn't bring back the paint like they said it would and then it didn't even put a shine on it. I threw that shit in the trash. Worst shit ive ever used.
as long as its not a silver or white car, really like to do a paste wax. BH DSW is my go to £15 quid a pot good on and off, and you can quickly get round the car. but I have bought a pot of this stuff to give it a shot, but it looks good so far, it looks like it goes on like butter. TW are claiming 12 months when maintained with power max wash and topped up with the flex wax. they also say its compatible with the hybrid ceramics range as well!
TW has just released a whole new line of car cleaning products, Where as the anniversary paste was $39.99 here in the USA, now it is being offered for @ $29.99 (+free shipping) without the anniversary lid. I will be ordering some soon !! thx for the info
Out of stock on Amazon and both the US and British Turtle websites, most likely due to your glowing review. Maybe use some of your most likely new influence with Turtle and tell then to get it in gear. They are missing out on sales. Great review.
Would be really interesting to see what you think this paste wax versus say TW Ceramic Hybrid Solutions Spray Wax e.g. can you tell the difference in colour depth and gloss. Cheers for another interesting video.
Just used it 36 euros here. Easy on ok off. Car is silver with minor flecks of gold and green called lexus sonic titanium. Brought out the flecks nicely and gloss is very good but didn't knock me off .y feet. I reckon 10 applications in a pot is about right. Thanks
@@epicautomotivedetailing to be fair I gave it another buff six hours later and the gloss is now outstanding must be a cure time as usual I read no instructions haaaaaa. Thanks again for the video it was excellent viewing.
Thank you for the great video Dave. That Turtle Wax looks some good stuff. Personally I prefer a nice Carnauba paste wax such as Harly or Farecla Supergloss over ceramic / graphene paste wax. I find those Carnauba waxes easier to apply and take off. Also less they don't stain trims. There is something therapeutic about waxing a car. However if you're offering it as a service, then a spray sealant makes more sense as it's quicker especially when you can use the sealant as a drying aid. Keep up the good work mate. 👍
Carnubas wash off after several carwashes, whereas this Ceramic/Graphene product is good for much longer with a high quality shine. For the quality of finish I demand, I need to do a Carnuba every 60 days. My "75 ceramic/graphene has lasted really well for just over six months now. I will re-do the car soon, just because I like doing it, but I still get compliments on my paint as it is.
Dave I’ve got an Audi A5 with black leather and I need to clean it and restore the colour... I’ve looked at all you videos and can’t see if you’ve mentioned any leather products to use. Have you got any advice on what product? the seats are in good condition just needs a clean and as I said restore the colour. Hood you’ve got some ideas 👍
Hiya i havent done videos that focus on leather really not new ones anyway. I used bear leather cleaner, meguiars leather cleaner. both have been great for me. For a deeper clean you can use yum interior
Big fan of Soft99 waxes and this sits in that price bracket . Certainly impressive and as you say its moved on in terms of protections but I enjoy the process of waxing a car over a easy sealant product . Can see me buying some , but I do have a few tins of wax and ceramic based waxes already . In terms of this dying out its rare you see anyone testing a polish now . Most are all in ones that you do see
I got it. It's came with that wax 2 towels and 2 T shirts and hat. I had subscription to glove box . It's was only $30 I payed for that month. They got me that box. Retail on the box was $120. Ebay sell that wax alone for $70
I have just started doing mates cars to build up my profile to get work my way. Im not normally a fan of turtle Wax but I got a bottle of the original turtle wax and machine buffed it onto my mates car. I was amazed at the Finnished result it looked amazing on his dark blue car. 👍
Mr Weekend Warrior here. Do you need to clay bar and machine polish before applying or will a normal wash and dry be ok?? I know you won't get 100-% showroom finish but is it worth doing??
A wax seals the paint and anything on it so if you don't get rid of all those contaminants you will just be sealing them in to do their worst on your paint. The polish side of it is if you want your car to look good for longer then by polishing it first, you then seal in that shine! Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.
You've asked a question I had in mind. I don't think I'd wax straight on to a really degraded paint finish but if your paint is decent I've often thought it would be OK to just wax accepting that you won't quite get the top drawer finish. It will still look better than most cars on the road.
Another guy on you tube has done some real world testing of this product on a daily driver , prepped for the application of the wax .... it was virtually dead after two months and a couple of washes.
Depends mate. Since I did this video I have done 2 washes and it's still holding up well but definitely not dead yet. I think a good sio2 quick Detailer on top would keep it going bit longer
@@epicautomotivedetailing thanks for the reply ! Just some info incase anyone was thinking of buying. I have UHD wax ready to put on when I get the time !!!
@@epicautomotivedetailing Yeah, I can't wait to see them. Very informative channel and greatly enjoy it. I am in the fortunate position of being retired, but owning a Alfa Romeo 159 ti Sportwagon in alfa rosso red - some people might say it's a colour that is too close to dog d**k red,. Can't wait to see how good my car will look after a good fettling with this stuff.
I've always been a big fan of waxing cars out of a tin but like everybody else I've become a bit lazy and started using spray waxes but then we started to use who Joe 99 on my son's BMW you a amazing product but they've changed it it though so I'm a turtle Wax fang I have been waiting for this new product and after watching your video which thank God is an actual Englishman not an American or a Canadian sorry pandaman do like him and you spoke the truth we've all got away from waxing cars get the spray out but I found this very interesting or look forward to all your videos now is this going to be the Holy Grail of of weekend Warrior waxes look forward to your videos
I’m looking for some good eco friendly products. Not simply because of the environment, but also for the safety aspect. Can you recommend some good ones? Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing you knowledge with us.
Now you have thrown a spanner in my works. Debating this or the fusso soft 99 wax.... I know they are different in one having ceramic, graphene etc but hey ho
Both waxes are great. Those results looked amazing but I will say this... There is another wax coming in the channel which in terms of gloss absolutely destroys anything else 👌
Just used this today for the first time. It was easy and i like that you don't have to wait for it dry. Who would of thought Turtle wax would ever be good lol.
Another amazing video Dave, for me if I have the time I will wax, if time is limited then its a sealant. Total convert to yum ceramic since you recommended it. I also like the sealant hydrophobic wax TW do but understand the American version has now an improved formulation with SI02 and uv protection included but havent seen anyone in UK stock it, have asked TW for a response but no dice as yet. I appreciate you said the wax is limited edition... I understood and please correct me if I am wrong that the wax would be on sale and would be available permanently? If limited then Im gonna have to order quick lol.
Hi Phil with the Turtle Wax Paste Wax the limited edition part is the packaging. After they sold out they are repackaging it with new labels so the same product will be available. Yum Wax is something im going to feature soon because of the insane gloss it offers
Thank you. I'll be doing a more in depth video soon. Just needed to get a quick video out before everyone else does. Definitely have a nice car to try it on next time
Coming soon I did clean that car last week and it still looked great and the water beaded well. Wouldn't say perfect but definitely wasn't expecting perfection
Gr8 vid. but having tried over 100 wax/ sealants, from the 70's to date, I have found an old tin of Rain Dance, the one made by DuPont from the mid 80's out performed all other pretenders. The beading is ridiculous, each rain drop is like the water is mercury, if you drive it just moves and if you break all the water just runs down.
My dad would probably end up using it to clean carpets knowing him 😂. I'm testing it this week on multiple cars so will be doing follow up reviews as this is something special
As just a car user what is the quickest product to use for giving my car a really good polish. How often is a normal time period between polishes? Thanks. Videos are great.
Wash and wax shampoo isn't really enough. Ceramic coatings give long term durability, waxes can last for a fair few months. Ceramic spray sealants are what I tend to use regularly
Thanks for the video. I noticed your wax was nice and fresh. I just ordered this through Amazon and the DOM is over two years old (5/10/21). Do you think that's an issue? Thanks
hello Epic. thanks for the review. can you please let me know your advice on how to get the car ready for the wax? I mean... ok, I can go and foam it and then get it all clean... still, the care will not be perfectly clean. is there any product I can use better than the foam from the self cleaning stations? and then use the pressured water to rinse it off? or there is no way around and the car always needs to be purified like in a more in depth detailing process?
This looks very nice, however my question is: Suppose a waxing lasts 12 months, like you say. And suppose I wash the car once a month. This means that the wax can last twelve car washes ? Isn't that too much to claim ?
@@richarddangerfield331 Great thanks, just gone and got the meguires gold class, might get some BH to try side by side. Ill have enough to outlive the car at this rate😆👍
If I remember correctly isn’t there a special way your supposed to apply this. I feel like I remember it being backwards, did they say to apply this on top of one of there liquid products?
@@epicautomotivedetailing thank you for that, much appreciated. I’ve tried finding it for sale and can’t find it anywhere, where did you buy yours from?
If you could pick between ceramic sprays or paste wax which would you chose??? Let me know in the comments below...
Sprays are so much more easy to use with as effect results for me , think the wife would file a missing report if I took any longer 😂😂
I agree, spray waxes for ease of use or rather speed but there's something old school about hand waxing a car. Also if you polish, would you then apply a spray ceramic wax after🤔?
Wax every time, it's just so nice to use. But I'm a weekend warrior

I'm glad you're going to actually go back in a couple of weeks and a couple of months to look at the durability of this garlic yes I did take garlic wax if it is as good as soft99 which is also a hand applicated car wax which I can guarantee will last one solid year new graphene sorry garlic wax will be a winner a lot of us guys R looking forward to your future testing of this particular wax a wonder graphene wax
Lol that's funny. Broccoli is the next big thing though 👏 the repellency of that stuff is immense under the tap
Turtle wax has been quite acceptable ever since they rolled out "Ice". I've had great results with their products over the years. I use everybody's products. Mothers, Meguiars, Turtle Wax, Griot's, Ammo, RainX, and the list goes on. They're all good products. I use Turtle Wax Ceramic on moist conditions, and Mother's Carnauba paste wax on "weekend show projects".
Yeah I genuinely like a fair few products 👌
Am with you on all the above. Love this paste from TW. Mother's Carnuba still has its place doesn't it?...on certain paints [imho flat paint] Carnuba still "looks" prime.
Currently I’m using Meguiars Black Wax. On first wax, the wax results a bit more glossy on my 10 years old black car.
But after few months as I wax my car once a month, my car looks very amazing at a distance view, like a new paint, deep gloss (however they will see a lot of scratches if at close view).
I think it is better to wax once per 1-3 month using good wax, rather than wax once a year, if you very care about gloss.
i just mainly use ceramic sprays after every wash and it works a dream
Yeah,if you are an enthusiast who loves your vehicles,waxing often is fun.
I don’t wax much these days as it is time consuming but do every now and then. When I do though, I’m always impressed with the look and a lot of waxes have the best beading.
Time is so precious these days but I'm getting more videos filmed with wax this month 🙌
I'm not sure wax is dying out, there seems to be a returned interest in it, even Gyeon have brought out a new product, and it's a wax (Q2). I'm a fan of waxing and use Bilt Hamber - brilliant products across the range. Wax adds depth and enhances colour in a way sealants and sprays can't. It doesn't have the longevity of a ceramic, but it doesn't have the price either. I also find polishing and waxing the car a form of therapy, and just slowly enjoy the process ... and being left alone hah!
I went back to this car the other day and filmed my thoughts after 3 months. Has some interesting results
I've tried several spray waxes on my new car(s) and older cars. They work well for maybe a month and then die, and that is using quality PH balanced soap. Even with cheaper pastes and liquids, they at least go 3 months before they wear out.
I just don't think spray waxes hold up well under the HOT Florida sun, they probably work better for cooler/darker climates- they bond to paint sure, but they don't seem to leave much product behind to help seal and protect the paint.
That's very true and a very good point. Can't remember last time we had some nice sun 🌞
It looks like waxes are coming back in fashion, I hear more and more new waxes coming from coatings manufacturers and if this TW wax lasts at least 7-9 months, than its a real winner considering its price
This wax definitely got my attention. Very impressed with it do far
The paint looked amazing before you started. Hopefully when you do a full review it will be on a real world daily driver.
In real it wasn't but the camera can't always show true defects but I'll be making an in-depth video and will feature this wax on 10 more videos this year so yes it's coming on another video soon
No matter what, on camera and photos, a car always looks to have paint in good or very good condition. Thats why viewers always say this sort of comments.
I heard mention that gyeon has a new wax that is supposed to be awesome.. new release etc ... love to see a comparison or just your opinions on the two
I'll order some soon. Need to cover more waxes
Just used this wax this morning it's truly amazing to use so simple to work with nothing iv used before is this good infinity wax plus gloss is good but nothing like this well done turtle wax very impressive stuff
Brilliant review. I think for the money, this is ALOT of wax for the money. Especially as there are waxes out there that don't do half of this for twice the value.
The gloss was amazing on this, I'll be buying some for my monza rs6 after this review
Yeah I still use this on certain cars. I think the brand is what puts people off it sadly
Turtle wax used to be cheap and okay products but they are really changing their name and actually putting great effort at an affordable price
I think they have come a long way
TW onto another beltin' product, Pan's black Audi demo looked just as good as the Merc does Dave, you could be onto a winner there, look forward to the updates. 🐢🐢🐢
Thanks mate. This car only had a wash and dry and I wanted to put people's minds at rest that prepping ain't everything. Sometimes a good wax is all you need 🙂
Thats interesting as I was under the impression you would polish before waxing. That looked great if it wasn't polished then. What do I do with my new tin of Meguires???
@@andyprior6099 nothing wrong with some Ult Compound/Polish in the summer, before protecting it all again......but you don't need to prep is what Dave is showing.
@@Mogsy28uk sure, I totally get that. He knows way more than me.
This was my least favourite colour... Doom Blue...that is when I was valeting.. happily now retired, but the passion hasn't...
100% agree not my favourite colour. I'd rather have a metallic black paintwork
Turtle 🐢 wax has always been hard abs flakey so this one is surprisingly. Have you ever tried Collinite?
Hello. I'll be featuring more waxes soon 🙏
Im a massive fan of 915 Marque D'elegance on dark cars. Its like adding a layer of glass that has incredible durability
Pre order the wax got the day it came out made my white car shine like new even had people coming up to me saying how good it looked.
Nice one. Good to see real feedback. As long as it looks good and does the job then that's all that matters 👌
Just had a bottle of the interior mist delivered I never ordered it at all but its arrived so I will try that out now.
I do think you could of used pretty much any paste wax on that fairly new car and got the same amount of gloss
The graphine thing all seems like the new " ceramic" lable
That all new products need to have in order to sell
regardless of how much graphine oxide is in them or if it actually works any better than a normal paste wax
Would love to see more paste wax tests on your channel really enjoying your videos at the moment some great tips in them
To be fair this one is pretty amazing. I liked it anyways. I respect everyone's own opinion of it 🙏
@@epicautomotivedetailing
I will have to buy myself a pot then if you really think its that good 👍
I just received mine in the mail...had to order it right from Turtle wax....cannot wait to see how it makes my car shine
It's ace 👌
Finally a car wax that has been doing what Nu Finish has been doing all along. I've been using Nu Fish since I was 21, 55 now and it has never let me down. Welcome to the future Turtle Wax
George
I tried Nu Finish about 50 years ago and wasn't to happy with it.
In fact I used it on my parents car, which was a newer car.
It really didn't make the car shine and then after only 3 weeks it had disappeared.
Then I tried it on my sisters 58 ford Fairlane hard top convertible.
Which the paint was a little faded, because of its age.
And Nu Finish didn't do anything. It didn't bring back the paint like they said it would and then it didn't even put a shine on it.
I threw that shit in the trash.
Worst shit ive ever used.
I've never had it last longer than a month.
Never used it so i can't really comment on that one
as long as its not a silver or white car, really like to do a paste wax. BH DSW is my go to £15 quid a pot good on and off, and you can quickly get round the car. but I have bought a pot of this stuff to give it a shot, but it looks good so far, it looks like it goes on like butter. TW are claiming 12 months when maintained with power max wash and topped up with the flex wax. they also say its compatible with the hybrid ceramics range as well!
I used to the max as a base coat on a bmw the other day and did water tests and they looked ace. YUM WAX is something to keep your eye on 👀
TW has just released a whole new line of car cleaning products, Where as the anniversary paste was $39.99 here in the USA, now it is being offered for @ $29.99 (+free shipping) without the anniversary lid. I will be ordering some soon !! thx for the info
Out of stock on Amazon and both the US and British Turtle websites, most likely due to your glowing review. Maybe use some of your most likely new influence with Turtle and tell then to get it in gear. They are missing out on sales. Great review.
I've got s proper review coming this was just a first look but it's definitely a great wax 👌
Would be really interesting to see what you think this paste wax versus say TW Ceramic Hybrid Solutions Spray Wax e.g. can you tell the difference in colour depth and gloss. Cheers for another interesting video.
This is so much easier to apply by far. I'd chose this any day after using it
@@epicautomotivedetailing Thanks for your comments, best wishes.
@@epicautomotivedetailing I guess this paste wax also fills swirls better than spray ?
Just used it 36 euros here. Easy on ok off. Car is silver with minor flecks of gold and green called lexus sonic titanium. Brought out the flecks nicely and gloss is very good but didn't knock me off .y feet. I reckon 10 applications in a pot is about right. Thanks
Yeah I think they went all out with marketing that created a buzz. It's great though 👌
@@epicautomotivedetailing to be fair I gave it another buff six hours later and the gloss is now outstanding must be a cure time as usual I read no instructions haaaaaa. Thanks again for the video it was excellent viewing.
@@keithireland6627 thank you 🙏
Turtle Wax is bringing it back it was hard to obtain earlier this year.
Yeah they coming back with a bang
Thank you for the great video Dave. That Turtle Wax looks some good stuff. Personally I prefer a nice Carnauba paste wax such as Harly or Farecla Supergloss over ceramic / graphene paste wax. I find those Carnauba waxes easier to apply and take off. Also less they don't stain trims. There is something therapeutic about waxing a car. However if you're offering it as a service, then a spray sealant makes more sense as it's quicker especially when you can use the sealant as a drying aid. Keep up the good work mate. 👍
Thanks Karl I'll be banging more videos out. Filming for the next 5 days so have few other waxes to feature 👌
Carnubas wash off after several carwashes, whereas this Ceramic/Graphene product is good for much longer with a high quality shine. For the quality of finish I demand, I need to do a Carnuba every 60 days. My "75 ceramic/graphene has lasted really well for just over six months now. I will re-do the car soon, just because I like doing it, but I still get compliments on my paint as it is.
I would go for the ceramic spray wax, as I have a solid white car it’s hard to get a really high shine with a paste wax
Dave I’ve got an Audi A5 with black leather and I need to clean it and restore the colour... I’ve looked at all you videos and can’t see if you’ve mentioned any leather products to use. Have you got any advice on what product? the seats are in good condition just needs a clean and as I said restore the colour. Hood you’ve got some ideas 👍
Hiya i havent done videos that focus on leather really not new ones anyway. I used bear leather cleaner, meguiars leather cleaner. both have been great for me. For a deeper clean you can use yum interior
Looking for the video you mentioned about possibly highest gloss wax you've found.
I do like the turtle wax grraphene though..
Thanks
Didnt get round to it lol
Big fan of Soft99 waxes and this sits in that price bracket . Certainly impressive and as you say its moved on in terms of protections but I enjoy the process of waxing a car over a easy sealant product . Can see me buying some , but I do have a few tins of wax and ceramic based waxes already . In terms of this dying out its rare you see anyone testing a polish now . Most are all in ones that you do see
Hi Mate sorry for late reply been manic. ive got few more waxes coming to videos soon. Bought a few so can't wait to get out and film them
I got it. It's came with that wax 2 towels and 2 T shirts and hat. I had subscription to glove box . It's was only $30 I payed for that month. They got me that box. Retail on the box was $120. Ebay sell that wax alone for $70
Yeah i got the t Shirt not sure how long they will last but so far so good
I have just started doing mates cars to build up my profile to get work my way. Im not normally a fan of turtle Wax but I got a bottle of the original turtle wax and machine buffed it onto my mates car. I was amazed at the Finnished result it looked amazing on his dark blue car. 👍
It's definitely getting better and I think this wax is something special
Mr Weekend Warrior here. Do you need to clay bar and machine polish before applying or will a normal wash and dry be ok?? I know you won't get 100-% showroom finish but is it worth doing??
Personally no you don't need to. It's good enough on its own
A wax seals the paint and anything on it so if you don't get rid of all those contaminants you will just be sealing them in to do their worst on your paint. The polish side of it is if you want your car to look good for longer then by polishing it first, you then seal in that shine! Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.
You've asked a question I had in mind. I don't think I'd wax straight on to a really degraded paint finish but if your paint is decent I've often thought it would be OK to just wax accepting that you won't quite get the top drawer finish. It will still look better than most cars on the road.
The wax wont bond well if only washed. Durability will decrease faster. At least do a full decon before waxing.
Another guy on you tube has done some real world testing of this product on a daily driver , prepped for the application of the wax .... it was virtually dead after two months and a couple of washes.
Depends mate. Since I did this video I have done 2 washes and it's still holding up well but definitely not dead yet. I think a good sio2 quick Detailer on top would keep it going bit longer
@@epicautomotivedetailing thanks for the reply ! Just some info incase anyone was thinking of buying. I have UHD wax ready to put on when I get the time !!!
Amazing let me know your results
For the money, it's worth a try. Will be putting my order in.
Yeah its fantastic. I want to do some comparisons and a review soon
@@epicautomotivedetailing Yeah, I can't wait to see them. Very informative channel and greatly enjoy it. I am in the fortunate position of being retired, but owning a Alfa Romeo 159 ti Sportwagon in alfa rosso red - some people might say it's a colour that is too close to dog d**k red,. Can't wait to see how good my car will look after a good fettling with this stuff.
It's pretty epic wax. I was amazed how easy it was to apply
I've just bought this wax for the first time for my rs if it comes out like your car i will be very happy 👍
It's fantastic mate 👌
@@epicautomotivedetailing I've done my rs in this turtle wax and very impressed 👍
I've always been a big fan of waxing cars out of a tin but like everybody else I've become a bit lazy and started using spray waxes but then we started to use who Joe 99 on my son's BMW you a amazing product but they've changed it it though so I'm a turtle Wax fang I have been waiting for this new product and after watching your video which thank God is an actual Englishman not an American or a Canadian sorry pandaman do like him and you spoke the truth we've all got away from waxing cars get the spray out but I found this very interesting or look forward to all your videos now is this going to be the Holy Grail of of weekend Warrior waxes look forward to your videos
Thank you so much for watching. I like to mix it up a bit with all sorts of content. Still getting the hang of this youtube thing
Great fan of your show. Can i apply this over Meguiars ultimate ceramic spray, or is there no point mixing the two? Cheers Mike
I normally put spray on top. luckily Meguiars ceramic spray doesn't last that long
I’m looking for some good eco friendly products. Not simply because of the environment, but also for the safety aspect. Can you recommend some good ones?
Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing you knowledge with us.
Hello thank you for watching. In terms of eco friendly there are many brands that have bio degradable. The ingredients may be out of my realm
i refuse to coat my 2 daily drivers because i love to wax my cars. i enjoy the process.
Nice one. If I had a nice car for myself then I certainly would do the same
Seal and shine, ceramic based, is the best. Cheap and lasts for a few months
yes its a bargain product its very good
Now you have thrown a spanner in my works. Debating this or the fusso soft 99 wax.... I know they are different in one having ceramic, graphene etc but hey ho
Both waxes are great. Those results looked amazing but I will say this... There is another wax coming in the channel which in terms of gloss absolutely destroys anything else 👌
Now I am going to have to wait to commit... Patience isn't my strongest point 😂
Hi Dave thanks for the info I’ll have a look at meguiars leather cleaner cheers mate 👍
Pleasure mate have a great weekend
Just used this today for the first time. It was easy and i like that you don't have to wait for it dry. Who would of thought Turtle wax would ever be good lol.
Yeah its brilliant but people tend to shy away from the turtle wax brand because of past products. good to see them upping their game
Is it better than fusso?
Ask me next week lol. I'm testing this week. I need to gather more insight before it wins best wax 🙏
Another amazing video Dave, for me if I have the time I will wax, if time is limited then its a sealant. Total convert to yum ceramic since you recommended it. I also like the sealant hydrophobic wax TW do but understand the American version has now an improved formulation with SI02 and uv protection included but havent seen anyone in UK stock it, have asked TW for a response but no dice as yet. I appreciate you said the wax is limited edition... I understood and please correct me if I am wrong that the wax would be on sale and would be available permanently? If limited then Im gonna have to order quick lol.
Hi Phil with the Turtle Wax Paste Wax the limited edition part is the packaging. After they sold out they are repackaging it with new labels so the same product will be available. Yum Wax is something im going to feature soon because of the insane gloss it offers
Can you use it on windows ? What happens if you get it on plastic trim?
I've not done that myself but testing later today for a video
All of their hybrid solutions product are phenomenal
Yeah they have some amazing products that are underrated
Another amazing video David.
This my 2nd video on this wax and both have quite similar features of information 👏
David
Thank you. I'll be doing a more in depth video soon. Just needed to get a quick video out before everyone else does. Definitely have a nice car to try it on next time
So: is there any difference between this wax and a ceramic that is new?
Ingredients and curing time
Can you use a DA polisher by putting a small dash on the pad?
Better to use (to the max) graphene with polisher then apply this after
The finished shine on the Mercedes is awesome,but car not being prepped how long will it last?,but I have to stay tuned to see the results.
Thanks Steve I'm testing all week and filming clips for another video which will be more in depth so Will Keep everyone posted 🙌
Great video as I am new to detailing - I have ordered my tub of Turtle Wax
Amazing its a nice wax
An I apply this ceramic+graphene paste wax over the carnauba paste wax?
Wax can built up
we need to hear of the 6 month update to see how it held up.
Yes mate I've already got that lined up 👍
@@epicautomotivedetailing great, thanks
Coming soon I did clean that car last week and it still looked great and the water beaded well. Wouldn't say perfect but definitely wasn't expecting perfection
Gr8 vid. but having tried over 100 wax/ sealants, from the 70's to date, I have found an old tin of Rain Dance, the one made by DuPont from the mid 80's out performed all other pretenders. The beading is ridiculous, each rain drop is like the water is mercury, if you drive it just moves and if you break all the water just runs down.
Good vid Dave, look forwards to more vids and results, water beading and how long it lasts. Shine really popped, nice one. So easy Dad could do it?/ 😄
My dad would probably end up using it to clean carpets knowing him 😂. I'm testing it this week on multiple cars so will be doing follow up reviews as this is something special
As just a car user what is the quickest product to use for giving my car a really good polish. How often is a normal time period between polishes? Thanks. Videos are great.
Some all in one polishes like rupes Uno protect can last a fair few months. Definitely worth a try
Is GRAPHENE going to be the new catchword like ceramic was a few years ago.??
Have a feeling it will be. But then again give it 12 months something else will come along 😁
I’m a weekend warrior. Just got a cx5 last month. So are you saying a simple wash and wax isn’t going to provide great results?
Wash and wax shampoo isn't really enough. Ceramic coatings give long term durability, waxes can last for a fair few months. Ceramic spray sealants are what I tend to use regularly
Super fast uploading Dave nice one I’ll wait till I get through the constant backlog till I crack the lid off mine 😂😍😍
It's really good stuff 👌 the flex wax is something special too
This is the best wax i have used shine easy to use tw75 is home run
Thanks for the video. I noticed your wax was nice and fresh. I just ordered this through Amazon and the DOM is over two years old (5/10/21). Do you think that's an issue? Thanks
Hello what are you using to apply, microfiber applicator or foam applicator
We would love this to be Compared against Ez Grapheme wax which has The same properties
Yeah I may try that in summer time ☀️
Ez graphine has worse durability and poorer aplication than there normal ceramic wax
Watch infinity waxes video
hello Epic. thanks for the review. can you please let me know your advice on how to get the car ready for the wax? I mean... ok, I can go and foam it and then get it all clean... still, the care will not be perfectly clean. is there any product I can use better than the foam from the self cleaning stations? and then use the pressured water to rinse it off? or there is no way around and the car always needs to be purified like in a more in depth detailing process?
This looks very nice, however my question is:
Suppose a waxing lasts 12 months, like you say. And suppose I wash the car once a month.
This means that the wax can last twelve car washes ?
Isn't that too much to claim ?
What is a good wash soap to use before applying?
I used Neil's supershine back in the eighties that was fantastic stuff anybody remember that
Sadly can't say I have heard of that my friend
First polish and thn wax or i can just clean the car and wax it ? Great channel btw
Ive tried using wax alone and it does improve the look of the car but for best results give it a good polish first
What do you use to get the wheels looking so good
Cheers mate... Great video yet again 😉 keep erm coming 👍
Thank you so much
Do love a wax , can’t beat bilthamber DS and NipponShine for value for me
How do you find the Bilt hamberwax to apply and buff? I heard it can be a little harder than most but a great wax when done.
@@andyprior6099 never had any issues, little goes along way, and alway dampen the applicator bud 👍
@@richarddangerfield331 Great thanks, just gone and got the meguires gold class, might get some BH to try side by side. Ill have enough to outlive the car at this rate😆👍
One thing you never said about the wax was how well does it come off how much effort does it take
Use dish soap. It will pull the wax off during washing, when you’re ready for a new coat.
@@spencerbixby7819 I was actually talking about when you put it on how easy does it buff off.
If I remember correctly isn’t there a special way your supposed to apply this. I feel like I remember it being backwards, did they say to apply this on top of one of there liquid products?
I use this after turtle wax hybrid ceramic spray and everyone asks me what I use on my car … lasts ages
Would you recommend this over the maguires ceramic wax? Great videos, just subscribed, keep em coming. 👍
Yes I would. 100% ceramic liquid wax is good but this had the edge in that initial pop in clarity on the paint
@@epicautomotivedetailing thank you for that, much appreciated. I’ve tried finding it for sale and can’t find it anywhere, where did you buy yours from?
@@daveyt6513 you can order directly from TW

Having problem with it leaving streaks on black paint😩😭
No panic mate very easy fix take one fresh towel make it damp then follow with fresh dry towel and streaks will go 👌

Thanks for the reply I will be interested to see the review
Thanks mate
Hello. I covered my car with Turtle Wax GRAPHENE Flex Wax. Which hand wash shampoo will support the graphene coating? Thanks for the answer.
what about water mark ? sio2 infused products is watermark magnet, no ?
U did compound on that merz before applying the wax? Super glossy
Nope nothing just the wax. Been back since and water still flies off 👌
Thanx bruhh.. All the best
