How to Apply Turtle Wax Ceramic spray coating THE EASY WAY!

Today I will show you how to apply turtle wax ceramic spray coating to your car and go through the entire step by step application process to ensure you don’t get streaking on your car's paint.

So the main purpose is to go through how to avoid streaking from applying it out in the elements so we are talking this from a mobile car detailer's point of view or one of a weekend warrior. It's fair to say this is so much easier to apply if you have your own detailing garage but for us in the UK who are out in all weathers we have to contend with direct sunlight, Wind and rain and its very rare we get nice weather to apply this coating.

Top Tips for Applying Ceramic Spray Coatings Outside:
For best results ensure you have given the car a clay bar and a fair machine polish/compound before applying turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic coating. This is because you want to enhance the bonding process. However I had not done this in this video.
In my previous turtle wax spray coating review video it had poor results when applied to a range rover with grey paint on a warm summer's evening. However in this one i am using a lighter silver Volvo and seeing if it helps to apply in cooler temperatures on lighter paint.
Furthermore I decided to test this out on glass and noticed a small amount of streaking. One thing to note is the fact this was done in cloudy weather conditions and think direct sunlight would cause more problems but i will try another glass test in a later video.
I'm still undecided whether I love this spray compared to wet wax or the new seal and shine but one thing is for sure. I need to see how it holds up in near freezing conditions now that I have tried it in hot and average temperatures.

I originally used this product on my brand new dark blue sedan and my wife's three-year-old dark blue SUV back in mid-February, in both cases applying a second coat after waiting 24 hours. I clayed, polished (TW Hybrid Solutions Polish), and prepped the SUV with an IPA prior to application, but did nothing to prep my sedan other than washing and using an IPA to clean the panels. It has now been almost seven months and both vehicles are holding up extremely well. The gloss is still extremely good on both cars and water beads and sheets like crazy when it rains and during washing. I admittedly use a drying aid when washing both vehicles, (TW Hybrid Wet Wax in the case of the sedan and P&S Bead Maker in the case of the SUV), but I am beginning to wish that the protection would fail so I can try something else. My impression of this has been that it is extremely easy to use and it performs as advertised.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

well done Douglas Im pleased to hear you had great results from it.

[@bowieknife]

Haha I'm the same. I want the protection to deteriorate so I can try other stuff!

I had a similar experience. Applied it to two vehicles (24 hours apart) and I had almost a year of very effective water beading.

Having ordered this product from Amazon only to find no english instructions I turned to KZbin and happened upon your video which helped greatly. I washed my canvasite blue Merc and my wife's silver grey Volvo V40 with Turtle's ceramic wash product. I then dried the cars and applied the ceramic coating both by direct spraying and wiping on as per your method. It's winter here in north Essex, UK and 10.5c. All I can tell you at this point is both application methods worked and a streak free result was obtained. My purpose in all of this is to get 1 winter's worth of cars staying cleaner when our roads are mucky and awful. We'll see...

[@b374mxg]

Greetings from the USA. My Taurus is dark grey. I did run into some streaks on the hood, (used a little too much), however took a damp microfiber cloth (used distilled water) and gently leveled. It got rid of those streaks. Excellent product and I'm very satisfied. Great video - keep up the great work!!

Hello USA, greetings from cold, wet UK 🇬🇧, my next video is all about this on black cars

[@Monkeyseemonkey79]

I have a black car and have found that if I start by spraying my microfiber towel twice with the ceramic spray, i can then I spray the panels and gently wipe the panel with the same cloth, I don't get the streaks. I then wipe it off with a dry cloth. If I fail to spray the cloth itself beforehand it always streaks in my black car.

It’s just take your time, do a small section at a time and keep wiping until you see it disappear.

LOVE your candor! Though I am 3 years late seeing this video, I am a female watcher and subscriber to your auto detailing channel, who's recently purchased a new car that she details weekly. Glad you revisited applying the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wax Spray. I LOVE that product and have used it on my car which is a dark color. What really makes it pop is the Graphene Flex Spray, also from the Hybrid Solutions line. Not sure if you've tried that one, but it's excellent on any color of a car, but especially darker-colored cars.

[@BobMuk08]

Keep both videos... they are both honest experiences... & I really liked the honesty. I too had the streaking experience but found that either a quick wipe with a damp cloth or Rinse & towel dry cleared it. Having used the TW hybrid for over a year now. I also do this.. wash the car with PH Neutral products, then using a cheap garden pressure spray bottle Two or three caps of TW Ceramic wash & wax shampoo & Fill with water, & spray over the car liberally, and leave a couple of minutes...then rinse off & towel dry... the protection really builds up, It's really easy & the beading on my car (Gunmetal type metallic gray) is excellent! (I wash the car about every two weeks.)

I have a 2024 Mazda CX-50 in dark gray metallic (Mazda refers to it as machine gray metallic). After washing and drying, I applied the first coat of TW Hybrid solutions first by spraying directly onto vehicle and then onto a microfiber cloth. I decided not to wait 24 hours and applied the second coat about 2-3 hours later. So far so good. Leaves a really nice finish that really shines in the hot Texas sunlight. Didn't notice any streaking despite the dark color.

Dave, your glass cleaning method....wort y of legend! About the spray, I found working on black paint, I had to have a damp cloth to hand once I applied and buffed to go over it again to take out the smears that were left. once done the results were fine. I didn't like this product at first as I felt far too much effort was needed to apply 2 coats and as you say via the instructions allow 24 hours for it to cure before further application. On my silver Passat I went on well, however after the first couple of washed the hydrophobics went south really quickly (bearing in mind I had not applied any of Turtle wax hybrid solutions wet wax or the detailer) once applying the wet wax on the next wash, hydrophobics came back with no issue. Think another go will be in order, thanks for another great vid and tips.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Phil. One thing that is clear is the fact this probably the most unpredictable product I have ever used in my life. Next ceramic spray I got is from yum cars so that should be interesting because they are seriously good

[@RK-db4oq]

I've used this on 2 new cars now--Acura MDX and Ford Expedition, both metallic silver. Great results on both--slippery smooth and water beads like crazy, but not sure how long they last yet (it's only been a few months on the Acura, and just today on the Expedition). I put two coats on, waiting 24 hours between each, then letting the last coat "cure" an additional 24 hours before exposing to elements--everything done in a garage. One thing I noticed is that the quality of the paint definitely affects results on application. The Acura has thick smooth paint with little orange peel, plus I clayed it before application. Putting the product on I had very few smears, and those that did happen came right out with a little extra rubbing. The depth of shine on that thing was incredible. The Expedition paint quality is not as good as the Acura, plus I did not clay it before putting the product on. Therefore the paint is not as slippery smooth as the Acura because of small imperfections--feels rougher. The depth of shine is not as good either, and smears were more of a problem (but still not really difficult to deal with). But still impressed, assuming it will last. I also bought the Turtle Wax companion product (Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wet Wax), which you are supposed to spray on after washing while the car is still wet--spray on then dry with towel as you normally would. This is supposed to make the coating last indefinitely if you use it after each wash, but we'll see.

[@SuperScania1974]

I bought this as it was a stupid price on Amazon with the attraction of 12 months protection. I did both coats 24hrs apart on a 2017 Volvo V40 and a 2019 Toyota Yaris. I did the spray on the cloth technique which definitely helps with the over spray, I found it applied well but the buffing was hard work and quite a workout. Now it's been done (2nd coat now curing) it gives an amazing finish and quite honestly better than the Autoglym ceramic spray which has a shorter life and a higher price. I've put 2 coats on the diamond cut wheels so hoping it helps to keep the brake dust down. We will see how long it lasts but so far so good and pleased with the high gloss finish I've been left with.

[@pixelated_raven167]

I had a major problem with smearing with this product on my black fiesta. I would have to do tons of buffing afterwards with a damp cloth and then a dry cloth. I think ill try your methods of spraying it onto the cloth and also making sure its a cool day.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I promise you once you crack the method it's actually one of the best ceramic sprays by far

[@karl3927]

Another great video Dave. You made very valid points about the weather and the car's colour. I think I would still have reservations about using that Turtle Wax ceramic spray coating on a dark car and I definitely wouldn't use it on a hot day. I just don't buy into this ceramic spray hype. I would far sooner use a product that's easier to use more regularly. That Volvo did look great afterwards though I have to say.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Karl j needed to put this one up. Because so many people have good or bad experiences and it seems so 50/50. I don't love the product but based on that car with that paint it did well. It still needs some tweaking and no I wouldn't use it again on a hot day with a dark coloured car but it has made me rethink a few things. Thanks for watching mate 😊

Just got pointed to you from Paul Dolden - like the content and your style, well done fella. Subbed. The TW range has worked for me on 2 cars, wife’s selenite grey merc and a pearl red DS3. Merc was in very good nick, it lives with me so gets good, regular, careful maint washes and had a 2 stage DA Megs 105/205 minor correction the previous year and sat outside by the sea under NXT wax. Been a Megs guy for years but fancied a go at some weekend warrior ceramics you can use in the open, and TW reviewed well for that purpose at the start of this year, so went that route four the merc’s spring spritzer. This time, (hot April sunny weekend) it got a foam, wash, clay, TW ceramic one stage DA polish and then TW ceramic spray coated the next day - an unseasonable hot day. Result was fine but you had to be quick in the sun while spreading fairly lightly in a cross pattern and I used the damp towel before final buff too. If you try to rub too hard or buff the initial spray application, that is where the problems start imo. Just get it sprayed on, immediately spread it relatively lightly, give it 30 secs and use a damp towel to level it before the buff. Daughter’s DS3 was a bit of a shit box, not much maint washing done in 3 years of her ownership. Seemed softer paint than the merc, so roughly the same process, foam, wash, Tardis lower half, clay, single stage TW ceramic with localised 2 stage in problem areas, and all was good again in the hot sun on quite darkish pearl red. This time it was windy so I sprayed it it to the towel instead of to the car and it also worked fine. One thing I do like in their range is the ceramic wet wax. Super easy to use and maintains the hydrophobic properties, meaning that I probably don’t have to use the ceramic spray coating as often as I would. Just done my silver Freelander 2 this weekend which was in a right state from the previous owner. Used old school decon routine with lots of Tardis down low, a clay and started on a TW ceramic machine polish on the bonnet. It didn’t touch most of the defects, so will be going back to Megs 105/205 combo (or heavier if I have to) to get that right on very hard (seemingly even harder than the merc) paint when I have more time. Then it’ll probably get a TW ceramic spray over that, but for the moment it will have to sit under some old Megs NXT wax protection with its defects intact but looking okayish from 10 feet away. I see the TW range as a keen amateur’s product that gives good results IF you follow the instructions to the letter and recognise their limitations - especially the one stage polish, it is very mildly abrasive. Using the maint wash ceramic stuff seems to keep its hydrophobic properties going well. But that stuff isn’t cheap (unless you just buy 2 bottles for 22.50 with the 10 quid off 30 quid spent discount code they just reminded me I had)! TLDR, horses for courses but it meets what I expect of it.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I must thank Paul for the mention. I've got the hang of it a bit more now. I was bang out of order saying what I did but i was expressing the anger that many people had with it. It's working great at the moment now the Temperature has dropped. Thanks for watching mate 👍

[@Audittr2108]

I’ve just tried the Turtle Wax Ceramic range for the last couple of months and It’s pretty good but not blown me away. The all in one polish was excellent stuff. I found any streaks are easily sorted with a slightly damp microfibre which is common on a lot of these SiO2 sprays. I’ve recently tried a sample of Car-Chem Lockdown which is a similar spray sealant. I think it was slightly easier to use but a damp MF was still required at times for the odd streak. I have a few Garage Therapy bits on their way including Three so I’ll see how that compares. I’m planning on using that in a month or two to see me through the winter.

The Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic wax can be used on glass as well as bodywork so over spray is never a problem. More to the point it is excellent on both glass and bodywork too

Hi Dave mate, great video as always. Thank you 💪😉😂 not to bad then..

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

It's hit and miss mate. So I had a look at the Volvo this morning and tried a water test with one coat and loved it so the biggest flaw is the application process. Unless you get it right in good temperature it does cause problems. I've never known a product to be so random but this time it was easy to apply 👌

I sprayed my bumper an now it’s gone dull tried to polish it with meguiars but it won’t bring the shine back any recommendations how to get the shine back without having to spray it with clear coat again

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Trust me it won't last that long. Use a shampoo that can remove old waxes or clean with stronger alkaline products and you'll soon remove it

[@robwhitmore3040]

I wouldn't worry about it blowing into the glass. I use this stuff instead of rain-x now. It's way more effective in my tests. I guess, equally effective but much longer lasting. just needs a dry cloth to wipe smears off at the end. I also just apply it in my garage, rather than taking a chance on weather. I've had awesome results with this on my dark grey Golf. It doesn't say anything on the bottle I have but I'm sure my last bottle said not to use it in direct sunlight. Might have been the issue with the last car.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I havent used this product much since. ODK waxes solo is a good alternative 👌

[@stavros_gr9105]

Ill wait another 24hrs to apply the the 2nd coat and I’m uploading the whole procedure for the “weekend warrior” out there.

[@guychou9505]

Bonjour de chez moi en Guadeloupe j'ai acheté ce produit pour ma voiture 🚗 et je suis très satisfait

[@terrybenedict1934]

After testing on several cars, I apply with an applicator pad, buff, wet towel, buff. A lot of work and STILL may find some streaking which i take out with a traditional carnuba wax. I am definitely not over applying the ceramic product. I did have some good results with the Ceramic Wet Wax but the Ceramic spray coating is much too much work for me. I'm coming to the conclusion that I need a product that hazes for streak and coverage control.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Next video is all about the streaking on a black car which comes out in few days. Thanks for watching 😊

[@unisoulja6227]

I have similar problem. I've just recently used this for the first time, I washed/dried, decontaminated vehicle (tar/iron/clay). I applied two coats, (24 hours apart), following the instructions to the letter. Everything seemed ok, no streaks/runs/excess etc. Dry streaks started appearing approx 4 hours after application of both coats, which were extremely difficult to buff off.

[@oursulaert]

Epic vid. Got a bit scared for a moment at 3:53 thought the crappy background music from meguiars videos was following me about. Once I got over that thought great vid as usual thanks Dave (first vid you appear uncomfortable with products I've seen) as supporters of your work I take your opinion seriously. I prefer turtle Wax sealant/ice. Leave the old vid up. Balanced view different days different car. Real life experience. I don't think any less of you. Thank you for the videos.

[@skidmarkbill]

Awesome vid Dave , just done my dark blue metallic car with this 2 coats 24hr period and first thing in the morning in the shade , then back in the garage. It does smear and a wipe with a damp cloth gets it sorted . If used like your GT 3 video it works . It's shit on hot panels and in sunlight ,smears like fuck ! By the way tried your window cleaning method on interior glass and it's spot on , no smears and great cleaning . Keep keeping it real Dave :)

[@cherrylove3656]

most of it soaked into the cloth doing it that way and how do you get an even coat spraying it directly on the cloth

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

It takes a while before it gets fully absorbed into a towel. Spraying it then wiping wont do any harm just like applying blob of wax on an applicator pad :)

The other thing was I found some spots of air deposit had embedded into it before it cured which is 24 hr not good for outside work and don't know if I can get them out when its cured. In the bin with this product for me. Shows your review was Honest This may work under ideal conditions but not in general use

[@DavidTron63]

I admire the fact you took the time out to give the product another go by making another video with a different car. So couple of comments..firstly (and correct me if I'm wrong) but isnt the product you used a protective 'coating' more than it is a polish? And since TW also do a ceramic polish (which is also a cleaner), to my mind it makes sense you perhaps should use that first THEN apply the coating product? I think the way you have done it is you have tried to use a 'quik detailer' coating product as a type of 'all-in-one' which its not and I doubt theres any product out there which is. If I'm right it might explain why you got better results on this car than the one in the previous video, since one explanation is the paint on this car was already in better condition when you started than it was on the Range Rover?

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Hello David, yeh your right it's a protective coat not a polish but the idea I wanted to point out that most people using it wouldn't of bothered clay barring or polishing first. People only read the bits they want to see. So the way it was marketed was like this (spray on wipe off for a perfect finish) but to get that finish u need to do all the steps before hand to paint. So that's why I was annoyed too because I wanted to get in that mindset of an average Joe. For me the reason this sucked was because of the weather. I truly believe that was the difference between the applications. Range was done on scorching hot day. Volvo was done on cool day so I think that's the reason it didn't quite go to plan. That and the fact I wasn't having a good day anyways lol

[@DavidTron63]

@@epicautomotivedetailing Yea I totally get it. TW I think have produced a great product with this ceramic range by all accounts but have done themselves a disservice in the way the coating product is marketed. In fairness though, its not dissimilar to what their competitors do. To my mind though watching your first video I didnt really expect an amazing result from a spray on wipe off product lol. Products such as this are for detailing after all the hard work is done. There's still no substitute for hard buffing with a good polish/cleaner (and a clay bar first if required). I've just ordered their polish and coating (even though my cars only 5 years old and the paint is in great condition) and I expect a great result used in that order. I suspect you using that coating protectant on an average paint and in the sun just resulted in the product working its way into the degraded paint instead of sitting on the surface. From there it sounds like it became impossible to get out with the resultant average finish.
