I bought it when it went for $14.99 I liked it so much I went to get it again and to my delight it was going for $11.99 I love the smell, the shine is lasting and my place rains a lot and after the rain it easily cleans with a quick wipe down and still shines! Tysm for your review you have definitely influenced..
Zip Wax from the early 90's was great and had great lubricity... which is the key. Don't sleep on the new Turtle Wax products. They're designed pretty well and won't hurt the pocket. I like them for cleaning purposes.
Enjoy your videos Josh. Last year my local Costco in Colorado had a closeout price on the Turtle Wax Green Apple soap for $2.88 per gallon. I bought 4 which will last me a long time and if it happens again this fall I'll buy more.😁
Hey Josh, really enjoy your content. I always feel you provide a super honest opinion without "bashing" any product or company - Keep it up, I'll be watching for as long as you make these!
My opinion, I don't like the super dry, thick foam. I like it a little on the wet side, as it tends to break down those bonded contaminants and run off. Everyone is different in that regard though. And when it comes to shampoo's as long as it's slick I'll buy the cheapest stuff I can get. It's soap, not some space aged technology. You're doing a contact wash anyways, it doesn't need to be expensive, just needs to provide lubricity. That being said I don't prefer wash'n'wax products. I'll go around with a spray on topper after a wash, takes a couple minutes, much better.
Thats a very fair point! I like the longer dwell time of the thicker foam, BUT many of the higher PH soaps like stuff from Bilt Hamber works amazing but is quite runny.
@@rusty.diamond I've been using the Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II for like $18 a gallon. Super foamy, super slick, dwells for a long time, and it's cheap.
Tide 10x to strip wash. Clay bar and then wash with this. Then nu finish then turtle wax ice seal n shine to top it off. Once a year. Then use this turtle wax soap as a regular wash whenever i feel like it so proly 20-34 times a year. My cars are 10 years old. Look new. The secret is just buy a bunch of wash mits. New panel new mit. You scratch it when you wash it.
Yea this one and the ones from years past may just be a re0 labeled product exclusive for Costco cause i can never find this anywhere else. I dont know that for sure, but it makes sense that they would use a winner wash and wax that they already had and just change the color and scent
Man, I just enjoy me a joshv video at this point. Good vid tho I am using 3D's new ceramic wash & protect right now on a car coated with the gtechniq csl+exo combo 1-2 years ago and a car that has no coating/surface protection. It protects well and leaves some hydrophobics for maybe 1-1.5 weeks, but its doing really well at extending the life of the coating on the coated vehicle. Its like the coating is refreshed (because its really a different layer) everytime I wash. But you don't notice when that temporary layer breaks down & the gtechniq comes back to the surface because they are both ceramic in nature & wayer reacts the same. So on a car that has a protection layer of the same type (polymer, carnuba, ceramic) I think these products really excel at extending the life of those base layers due to the similar chemistry. They save you the step of applying a temporary wipe-off surface protection at the end of each wash.
Dont really understand the sentiment of not using a product like this on top of a ceramic coating. If water and weather reacts to this before the coating and until it breaks down, whouldnt the coating last longer?
Yeah that's slightly true. But this masks the beautiful benefit's of the ceramic coating, so what's the point of it lasting longer if you don't actually get the contact angles, slickness and shine
Hi Josh Can you please make side by side comparison video between 128oz Turtle Wax car wash from Costco.and 100oz turtle wax car wash from walmart. Thanks
Hey Josh, don't know if you're aware yet but Meguiars new Ceramic Spray Coating is currently available at Advance Auto Parts, I'd love to see you review it
I bought this at Costco last weekend. I washed my truck on Sunday. Monday morning we had some heavy misty fog. The paint and windows have all these spots. The spots on the windshield would not come off with the windshield washer/wiper combo. Tried using Invisible glass to clean the windows and most of the spots came off but not all of them came off. I applied the car wash using a wash mit/glove. Not sure what is going on, but I am considering bringing it back to Costco for a refund. Why is this product not on the Turtle Wax website?
Turtle Wax does exclusives for Costco. Its one of their normal products with a different color name... It sounds like a hard water issue causing the spots. At my home my water runs 350 ppm of total dissolved solids. If your not careful that will definitely leave water spots. As a tip always remember to wash out of direct sunlight and never on hot paint surfaces. The mineral deposits can harden on. The fog probably sat on them and highlighted that
For the price it looked like it did a good job Costco has some things I would like to try but where I live I will pass 4 Sam's clubs to get to the one Costco where I live
Combined wash and wax always seems to make the wipers less effective and more streaky with reverse water spots. Was disappointed to see this had wax in it.
Im looking for a topper that is super slick and would appreciate your recommendation. Im more concerned with it being slick more than anything else. Thank you.
Justa. product to use that slick for a final wipe down? For a great budget freindly option id go with this: amzn.to/3S79wRS I still use this in my buisness. Great value!
Ha yeah after a wash for sure. The Rapid Ceramic Spray sealant from them giuves much better performance though, atleast till the sort out the issues with the pro coating
You would think being a lease they would be more then concern 😂 , inhave clients like that as well and I'm talking about people with money money with a defender all swirled up I did a test spot showed them how the car and look and they aren't interested lol 😂
@@imjoshv whoa, really? It seems like that’s protocol…. i’m an enthusiast, not a professionally, just thought that’s what was needed to keep from marring the paint with the drying towel, even if you have one of the high rated drying towels… the “whoa” is not a criticism it’s just I have not seen that stated before…
Not a big fan of wash and wax soaps. But hey, that opinion comes from experiences 3 decades back. I don't know why you have a problem with putting this over a ceramic product if as you say it doesn't last that long anyway. It's really more a soap and not a wax. And the idea with it IS to wash the vehicle. right?
i don't know if it is just me or,.... I've tried foaming, or spray and wash with microfiber then rinse off. Neither way did this thing leave a coat of "slick" or "super slick" layer of polymer on my 3 cars. I don't think there is any "wax" effect after washing. I have also tried to spray on and then wipe off later >10 minutes, it didn't leave any wax feeling either. So go figure.
Hmm. when i tested it i was out of the sun. I wonder if that may have been the issue cause i didnt have that problem. My go to soaps are still from Koch Chemie and Gyeon though and its great that we have so many options!

There in the process of building a Cosco near me here in Daytona Beach FL, can't wait to check it out. Thanks for all the great content you put out.

I respect that, honestly I like thick foam that’s not dry and not too runny, a good medium
Same here! I always hit it with a spray topper as well after a wash 👍🏻
You’ll probably like Pearl from P&S. Its very runny, affordable $20-25 for a gallon, very lubricating, and great scent.

We have it at the local South Florida Costco. I passed it up because of the wax feature. All good thank you for the content.
Yea I typically dont use alot of wash and wax either... But i wanted to check it out cause ii know many people would be interested in this product
@IMJOSHV, @5:28 you expose the license plate. Not sure if it matters, but you had the subscribe button over it for most of the video
I know what I'll be picking up (two) for my 2024 regular was stuff. Great tip on the subject of already Ceramic Coated vehicles!
Thanks!
I do believe that's based on their Carnuba Tropical Wash & Wax from a few years back. Very good shampoo. I miss it.
Yea this one and the ones from years past may just be a re0 labeled product exclusive for Costco cause i can never find this anywhere else. I dont know that for sure, but it makes sense that they would use a winner wash and wax that they already had and just change the color and scent
Thanks Josh for another heads up demo. I still have 2 gallons of the green
But will by this to replenish stock for this spring/summer.
Haha yeah seems like the same performance with a new color and scent... So unless you love pineapple coconut you should be covered ha
Would you consider doing a review on SunJoe Pinapple snow foam car wash which can be purchased through Amazon?

Can you please make side by side comparison video between 128oz Turtle Wax car wash from Costco.and 100oz turtle wax car wash from walmart. Thanks
Hey Josh, don't know if you're aware yet but Meguiars new Ceramic Spray Coating is currently available at Advance Auto Parts, I'd love to see you review it
Gold Class (5:1) for body wash, and Super Clean (20:1) for wheels, tires and interior cleaning. Simple
Bought it last year and was so disappointed. Wish Costco would have gone back with Meguiar’s! It was a much better product.
ask. Which one would you buy between the Ryobi 2700psi and the Greenworks 2700psi? to wash my cars. the entrance to my house and stuff
What do you think about the Groits foam soap

Never had that happen before using other Turtle Wax soaps.
So you foam the car, then wash it with another bucket of the turtle wax wash? The foam is just used for lube?
For the price it looked like it did a good job Costco has some things I would like to try but where I live I will pass 4 Sam's clubs to get to the one Costco where I live
Its crazy, we only have 1 sams club in the San Diego County... We have probably 8 or 10 costcos...
Hols, ¿Que hidrolavadora usaste?
I don’t know if it’s just me, but the links to your site haven’t been working for me. I have noticed this at least since yesterday.
Man that looks like margarita mix....even the flavor is right
Haha yeah keep it away from the adults on the weekend
Combined wash and wax always seems to make the wipers less effective and more streaky with reverse water spots. Was disappointed to see this had wax in it.
Have you already reviewed the Koch Chemie prosumer line behind you?
Not yet! I will be soon
29.95 in Canada at Costco
on sale for $4.99
Can’t find it on the Costco website site. 😢
Hi josh I bought the yellow jug about a year ago I still got 3/4 left lol
haha yeah I have the yellow and the green still too
Im looking for a topper that is super slick and would appreciate your recommendation. Im more concerned with it being slick more than anything else. Thank you.
Justa. product to use that slick for a final wipe down? For a great budget freindly option id go with this: amzn.to/3S79wRS
I still use this in my buisness. Great value!
Thank you so much!
They don’t have it anymore
So you used 4oz product and 36 oz of water in your mjjc foam cannon?
About 28oz of water
The foam looks good, 1:2 is insane though 😂. Can’t wait to see a video on that ego pressure washer though!
yea that dilution is pretty crazy haha. But again, with the MJJC i just used 4 oz and I was happy with the foam
@@imjoshv yea, I’m loving the mjjc performance
This stuffs on sale at costco for 11.99
Seems like a solid “daily driver” soap. I’ll give it a try. Thank you!
The water beading was still better than Cerakote.
Ha yeah after a wash for sure. The Rapid Ceramic Spray sealant from them giuves much better performance though, atleast till the sort out the issues with the pro coating
You would think being a lease they would be more then concern 😂 , inhave clients like that as well and I'm talking about people with money money with a defender all swirled up I did a test spot showed them how the car and look and they aren't interested lol 😂
Yea i agree but people are funny... I guess isnce its a lease they just dont have a real connection to it enough to care???
@imjoshv yeah but it will cost them returning a car that's has beat up paint especially swirled up , they won't get much at trade it
Is it necessary to use a drying aid with this product?
To be honest I rarely use a drying aid with anything…
@@imjoshv whoa, really? It seems like that’s protocol…. i’m an enthusiast, not a professionally, just thought that’s what was needed to keep from marring the paint with the drying towel, even if you have one of the high rated drying towels… the “whoa” is not a criticism it’s just I have not seen that stated before…
Looks good enough to drink!
Smells good enough too... But dont haha
Let us know how it goes XD
Love Costco!

At least the price is right.
Yeah good value for money
Different smell, same formula and I left strick film on my windows. I do not like it.
Hmm. when i tested it i was out of the sun. I wonder if that may have been the issue cause i didnt have that problem. My go to soaps are still from Koch Chemie and Gyeon though and its great that we have so many options!
Yeah, me too Coach Kimmy. It’s one of my favorites Adams too.
🙄 "sanpoli deteck ... " 😪
NO LONGER SOLD BY COSTCO 8/24
