Lovely. I bought the same thing here in India, but did not get the foam applicator, maybe duplicate? As you said i applied more than half of it expecting to see ultimate shine but ended up burning my arse off cleaning the wax. I wish i has seen this video before doing it. Thanks for sharing
I can see why you are pleased with it. It is easy to use and leaves an incredible appearance to the paint. I am testing the durability (real world) on my wife's car, and if it holds up half as well as it looks, it will likely be my "go to" "wax" after the paint correction has been finished.
Really good review. I believe you have dispelled any innuendos, rumors, myths about it's difficulties. I appreciate your applications techniques for the pad and doing the whole vehicle, then removal. I REALLY like this wax but have always applied it by hand. I'll have to give it a go with my D/A. I wonder if you leave the container in the sun to warm the wax a little bit if it would apply to the buffing pad even easier?...🤔 hmmmm... Shine on you crazy diamond! Btw...car looks gr8!
Personally, I think it applies the best cold and hard, being warm and soft. It seems like it might soak into the pad too fast and not spread as well across the top, and you would end up using too much.
I bought this wax a couple of years ago, but haven't tried it yet. After seeing this, I'm going to give it a try with the machine application. Good video!
Thanks, I went into this one, wondering several things and I got my answers to all of them. I had one guy tell me he tried it ONCE, it was a )(*)&^ to remove, so he put it back in the box and never used it again. He simply applied it WAY too THICK. With modern waxes, THINNER is BETTER!
Same results as you Don, no issue on my Black Plastic trim. Have you tried a Microfiber bonnet on your pad to remove the wax? After every wash I use the flex wax as a drying aid..For longer lasting resullts apply it after you dry car. In between washes I use TW Hybrid Pure Shine Misting Detailer its infused with Graphene. I also did all my glass with the paste wax, no issues.
My nephew got me a Walmart 10" orbital polisher last Christmas ... not something I really need, but I was determined to find a use for it (it was a Christmas present after all), and for the times I don't feel like buffing a light coat of wax off by hand, it works OK.
I used this wax on my black SUV earlier this spring. I was a little hesitant to use it based on the reviews from consumers and "professional" detailers saying it is a nightmare to buff off. Like most modern waxes the thinner it's applied, the easier it is to remove. I had zero problems buffing it off. It does take a bit more time to level off, but it certainly wasn't the nightmare people described. Another good thing about graphene waxes, streaking is almost non-existent. The hydrophobic nature of this wax is incredible even after 6 months, much easier to keep clean which is always a chore with dark vehicles.
I have a few more expensive paste waxes, from $50, to a couple just aver $100, and this is by far my favorite. The sad thing is that I've seen this wax on the store shelves for several years, and passed on it from my past experience working with the old school Turtle wax. Then one day while visiting my cousin, and he was waxing his truck, I was amazed at just how easy it was to work with this wax, I order my own jar right on the spot. I've been using stainless steel hair wax removal spatulas, you get like three of them for less than $7. Any other spatula would just tempt me to use them on other project, and just my luck I'd end up contaminating a jar of wax. But ya, this stuff is such a pleasure to work with, it's nothing like what I remembered from waxes of the past.
I liked your info on application , my question is , instead of using a micro fiber towel to remove the wax after it has dried , why can't I use a wool buffing/polishing pad to maybe enhance the products shine and it's water sheeting
Wool is VERY AGGRESSIVE and will likely leave swirls, especially is used with a machine. I use my polisher for applications ONLY. ALL removal is done by hand with different microfiber cloths. It's safer, the least aggressive, and gives the best results.
For Christmas, my nephew gave me a Walmart orbital buffer, it has no where near the power/torque needed to do any serious polishing or waxing, BUT - it does have some decent quality microfiber bonnets, that work GREAT at wax/polish REMOVAL! Like polishing by machine is better than by hand, removal by machine is also better than by hand and the 10" polisher head makes quick work of removing hazed/cured waxes and sealants (I still do spray sealants 100% by hand though).
Most people don't know the difference between a butter spreader and a butter knife, so I just showed a putty 'knife,' since it too is smooth, no serrations.
you avoid the black plastic because later the conventional wax in the blend will chalk or turn white just as they always have. It won’t show immediately.
I’ve used the TW Max wax, Flex wax and this paste wax. The paste wax is nice, like you said with a machine you use very little. It’s simple to use and the shine is great. I did notice it does not last as well as Max or Flex.
Hello I m from jp I m beginner . Thanks for the video. My first question is how often should we use the wax for how many days and months? My 2nd question is, does it remove small scratches with the machine? My 3rd question is which type of sponge should I use?
Welcome! It's difficult to give an estimated life span for the wax because your climate is different than my climate. So I would reapply it whenever YOU feel it's not performing as well as it should. No. This Wax is non-abrasive, it will not correct defects. If you have swirls or scratches you want to remove,, use either the 1 & Done Compound or the Ceramic Polish and Wax depending on how bad the defects are. I use a light polishing pad on my machine to apply the paste Wax, a slightly firmer pad works better (for me).
TY Mate, loved the results and as you showed don't over apply it spreads well and slick and shiny results. Let us know how you find it lasts. Well done🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

This is the wax I use since it first came out and are very pleased with it.

I’m using this on my new silver CX-5 and my old white Toyota. Applying by hand, it’s very easy to work with and looks exceptional.

I used this for the first time this weekend, very impressed, easy to apply and remove by hand, I did it panel by panel.

It's ONLY difficult it you put it on too thick, Using a machine (orbital) to apply it and only using a touch of the wax on the pad prevents that.

When Turtle Wax introduced their Hybrid Solutions Line, they significantly redesigned and improved their game.

When i use it i take a good detail spray an spray over the paste wax makes removal alot easier

Could use a butter spreader too, no serrations

I haven't found that to be the case.

I'm starting to think that when applied properly, the Flex is the strongest of the three you mentioned.

Thanks, I did my Camaro a few hours later and was able to use even LESS wax, since the car is black, and I could easily see the wax as it was applied.
