The NEW 1 & Done Graphene Compound by Turtle Wax

The New 1 & done Graphene compound from Turtle Wax is the simplest and most effective way to remove scratches from paint that I have used to date. This stuff is AMAZING!!
It is not in the shops quite yet, but check out the turtle wax website to see when it is available in your area - www.turtlewax.com and a HUGE thank you to Turtle Wax for giving me the chance to review their new 2021 line up of products before they are available to the public and an even BIGGER thank you to everyone who has subscribed to the channel for making that a reality :)

[@audieconrad8995]

Dave, as an over-the-counter/PRO "system," these products do an astonishingly good job. The Compound does a terrific job refinishing the paint removing scratches, swirling , and oxidation, but I've been most impressed with the deep shine it leaves, especially on darker colored cars. Even after an ipa wipe down the shine holds. The MAX and FLEX are definitely icing on the cake!

[@DaveRebuilds]

100% agree 😃👍🏻

[@user-yh7ip1yh8i]

First off, thank you for taking the time to post this video. Have you had the opportunity to try DIY detail's gold standard polish? The reason I ask is because according to them it's an "All in one" like this turtle wax product. I'm just up in the air on deciding which one I should try. Thanks buddy

[@DaveRebuilds]

@@user-yh7ip1yh8i hi, thank you, really appreciate that! Unfortunately I haven’t tried that polish so can’t comment on it, but I do know the 1&done is good, I’ve used it a lot 👍🏻 It will depend on how well known DIY details products are, as if they developed it themselves, might be really good, but if they just buy a “white label” polish and rebrand it, it will probably be rubbish

[@sgcole111]

Just to be clear, I do not believe the One and Done compound contains graphene. It does not state it does on the product labels.

[@kennethgreen702]

I got 2 bottles of the Max and the Flex.AMAZING!!!!

Everybody wants to demo on black paint and I get it. It gives the biggest "WOW FACTOR" for the camera. I think black vehicles are beautiful when they're clean. But I personally wouldn't have a black vehicle because of the maintenance. I'd love to see someone demo on a lighter colored vehicle!

[@DaveRebuilds]

Want me to do a demo on a silver car? Or my white van?

[@TsLeng]

I am always amazed by dark coloured car detailing videos. Make me want to do it on my own until I remember mine is a white car. Not solid white, a type of glossy warm white with metallic flakes in it. But still... 🤣

[@404notfound.....]

@@DaveRebuilds I found working time fantastic, can cope with a bit of sun ulike Maguires ,easy to remove Not going back to Maguires niw I've found this , does all I wa t as a beginner, not using paint depth tools for going after deeper scratches yet. Just one quick go over with this makes a massive difference

[@virus3885]

Next time you use masking tape on a car, press the sticky side on your shirt a couple times to get some fuzz on the tape before you put it on the car. I do this and the tape will still stick and shouldn't leave any residue when you pull the tape off. Car looks great, I may have to try this product out.

[@a_real_jive_turkey7772]

So when you say it's got a long work time do you mean that I will have to work it longer to achieve the results I'm looking for than something 2ith a short work time like maquires speed cut?

[@DaveRebuilds]

No, what I mean is that if you need to spend a little longer on a section than you thought, the stuff won’t dry out on you like a traditional compound might. Getting a result quickly depends on pad and compound choice not just the compound 👍🏻

[@AbhijitShrikhande]

Do you need to use the lacquer thinner before using the one and done?

[@DaveRebuilds]

Laquer thinner? Do you mean IPA? If so, no, just give the car a good wash, dry it, then preferably use a clay bar to remove and stuck in dirt, then use the one and done, then you can just put a wax on top, but ideally, once you have used the 1&done, use IPA to remove any residue polish so the wax sticks better 👍🏻

[@richscott2483]

Does not fix scratches. Watched other KZbin videos, TW 1 and Done, is not all that unable to do much on scratches. I am shocked Dave said the vehicle "Mercedes" was already clay bar. I do like the shine. Then the Mercedes age is unknown and somewhere was neglected, maybe he'll do paint correction or a minor repaint job to rid of some of those nasty scratches.

[@DaveRebuilds]

It depends on what you mean by a scratch? It’s a light compound so won’t remove heavy scratches, but does a superb job of light scratches and swirls. I did another video fully detailing the Mercedes, so all the info will be in that video 👍🏻

[@keithramsay3340]

[@robbalsley4759]

Can this be applied by hand for light swirls and scratches? Also do you need to follow it with a polish?

[@DaveRebuilds]

Hi, yeah it can be used by hand for lighter swirls and scratches and no you don’t need to use a polish after, just apply lighter pressure with a softer cloth and it can act as a finishing polish as well 👍🏻

Hi, I'm wondering if I can use the pads designed for the polishing machine, but by hand? Don't have a garage or a place to use my corded polish so it will have to be by hand.

[@DaveRebuilds]

Hi, yeah you can, I’ve done that in the past, but I found using the big pads pretty difficult as I couldn’t hold it properly, so I cut mine in half. It will take you a lot longer by hand to get the same result as a machine, but it’ll still look good when it’s done 👍🏻

If you are in the UK, I use slimsdetailing.co.uk, they have a huge selection of pads 👍🏻

[@wrightvideos2011]

I used the One and Done yesterday on my car; using the 50/50 microfiber pad first (4 dots on the pad) and then used the black foam pad (4 dots on the pad). I tapped the pad over the area to be done, started the machine out at a 1 speed (using a Porter Cable machine) and then switched to 4 speed in a cross hatch; doing this way with the 50/50 pad. Then when using the black foam pad, I also tapped the pad over the area, started out with a 1 speed to spread, then changed to a 3 speed in a cross hatch. I noticed that with each pad and application, it was harder and longer to remove the compound; I had to use all three microfiber towels; and it wasn’t very translucent. What did I do wrong?

[@DaveRebuilds]

My guess would be that you maybe worked the compound for too long, it’s sometime a good idea to spray a little water over the pad between applications to give the pad some moisture. I’ll give it a try when I’m next polishing a car and let you know 👍🏻

[@audieconrad8995]

@@DaveRebuilds I agree with spraying the water Dave. May I suggest a stiffer style tooth [any] brush to occasionally run over the moistened pad at med-high speed to loosen oversarurarion the [I] will run the pad at med-high speed over an old moistened towel to clean it up. I do this every few passes - just takes a minute and keeps things applying smoothly. Btw...that One & Done Compound IS👈🏼 killer.

I agree with you this one & done product did a fine job on your Merc.but for me the price of the new turtle wax hybrids are ridiculously high. As a Detailer I must consider price to performance...
