5 years ago, I wouldn't even look at Turtle Wax products on the shelf. Now Turtle Wax is amongst the first that I look for.

Yep! Agreed. They’re my favorite now.

[@mokokoco4720]

Turtle wax has always been a good product but there was a time period that they dipped. It’s always been that cheap but good product that you can rely on. Many people see it as a hidden gem because of how good their products are. A lot of KZbinrs don’t give TW enough credit though

In an industry that's probably 80% gimmicks, perception and 90% hype, it's so awesome to see and old timer like Turtle Wax come out and beat pretty much everyone a$$ in terms of durability and especially price point. I bought SS from watching reviews on here, there's just no denying it's a killer product.

[@jameshind6644]

I bought all 3 graphene products and spent the best part of 3 days prepping my car.. Used the max wax as a foundation and topped it with Flex wax. The gloss and shine are off the scale. It maybe a bit pricey but it’s well worth it.

[@happypuppy8221]

Hahah. I just did the same.

[@alfredough]

Very true I bought the liquid wax for only 4 dollars at autozone on clearance and bought the spray flex wax let them cure and a the next day the metallic paint pops looks amazing. Even after 5 days of not cleaning still pops and shines great wow

For explanations and demonstrations of products nobody does it like you, no nonsense, you show us the products how to use them and what they do. THANK YOU 😊 👍

[@1keykneedeep]

Great comparison Brian. And thanks for the tip. Ur expertise is unquestionable. 👍👍

[@marksanzone4948]

Amazing video, Brian. Your efforts took a day to begin breaking the products down with multiple, strong, direct chemical applications. Either TW product should have an incredibly long, on the road exposure life. Well done TW!!

[@williammartella7616]

This product line looks like a true winner. I will have to revisit some training videos to make sure I do proper prep on my car before laying this system down. Thanks, as always Brian, great work. I wish you were nearby some I could stop in for service.

[@BetterThanNewDetailing]

It was great to see the flex wax go toe to toe with the king of chemical resistance. I used the flex wax a couple of weeks ago and was impressed. I used the Max Wax yesterday and was blown away. I used a DA polisher, finishing pad and low speed and it couldn’t have been easier even though you do need the damp cloth for wipe off. However the slickness of both flex and max is insane. They’re slicker than my Black Ice from The Last Coat and I wasn’t expecting that. Thanks Brian, great stuff as always!

[@jeffmorrow-lucas8486]

Outstanding info! Thanks doing all the tests and putting these out. I have a feeling my vehicle will look better than the day it left the dealer lot!

[@briank.3539]

I remember when Turtle Wax was just a run of the mill product line. In the early 80's Turtle Wax was just something you bought at your local auto parts store. The professionals, had all the good stuff. Lately I have been focused on Adams, Griots Garage and others. Now, I think I need to reassess what Turtle Wax has been doing. As one channel has put it, Turtle Wax has "cracked the code" for actually using real graphene in a detailing product. Brian, thank you for your always honest and professional video. I am very glad to have found your channel.

Thanks for posting the comparison tests for these two products. The surprise was how well Seal N Shine performed against the Flex Wax considering it is half the price (in my part of Australia). Definitely happy that I saw your video and now have Seal N Shine as the benchmark product.

[@task82]

I keep thinking TW would out do itself, but time and time again SS out performs the newer product. I don't understand TW logic.

[@slidetek]

@@Deathscroll41 Probably a bonus involved or some inter-company bets on if somebody can beat the S&S so they can justify charging a bit more.

[@Deathscroll41]

That's a reasonable argument. It creates competition among chemist/product development team to make great products.

[@OctaneInTheVeins]

Great video, Brian! Putting the new kid on the block up against the tried and true Seal N Shine was a excellent idea. Still amazed at the performance of Seal N Shine, to be honest. Having said that, I want the graphene products for my vehicles.

[@ronnymb67]

I haven't used anything Turtle Wax for ages. I used Einszet Glanz for 15 years. When I couldn't get it easily anymore, I switched to Sonax NPT Hybrid 5 years ago. Great shine and protection. I just got a new daily driver and thought I'd give Flex a shot after watching yours and Pan's videos. I applied it today. Very nice shine. I hope it protects like the videos show. 1 - Follow the directions to the letter. 2 - Have plenty of fresh microfiber towels. Flip them and replace them frequently. I applied it with a microfiber applicator in the shade. When I was done, I parked it in the sun for 45 minutes, then move it back to the shade. After it cooled I applied a second coat. I coated everything except the windshield. Put it back in the sun for a final walk around and wipe down.

Great video as always Brian. I wanted to bring something to your attention that hopefully will help save your back though. I've been Detailing for about 38 years and have the shoulder injuries and back issues that's inherently common for what we do. One way I've helped save my back is to limit bending so much.. I do this by putting my wash bucket and hose on my rolling cart and roll it with me as l get around the car. Just a tip l hope will help you especially when you're doing your 10 wash tests.. Thanks again for what you do for our industry my friend!

[@kirkwilson5900]

Great tip, I do similar with a 5 gallon bucket 🪣 with lid as a stand for my 3.5 gallon wash bucket. It's a friction fit stack action and I can pick up n move the 2 buckets as I go around the car and limit my bending to the ground for soap 🧼

[@Dano-MX5]

I am 70 and the first wax I ever used on a car was TW paste wax. Then came products like Nu Finish for ease of use. Then for some reason I went with Blue Coral Paste which was impossibly difficult to apply but long lasting. I then found Liquid Glass which was my go to product for years, very easy to apply and durable…but expensive. It is now gone from the market. I then went thru Meguires entire line up of polishes and waxes and liked them. A friend of mine told me about Turtle Wax Seal and Shine and I scoffed at the suggestion that TW made a great product. Boy was I wrong! Seal and Shine is amazing as is their Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. Both are revolutionary products. I am now eager to try this Flex Wax. I am sure I will be satisfied. I love the idea of a wax as you dry product! It appears I have come full circle with Turtle Wax.
