Is Infinity Wax Obsidian better than Turtle Wax Flex Wax?

[@twilson1181]

You're fast becoming my favorite head to head product tester on YT. No BS, no biased just real world testing and honest results presented in a slick and simple format. Keep up the good work sir 👍

[@SuperchargedLlama]

Wow, thank you! That's a very generous thing to say and I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a nice comment - this is the sort of thing that's incredibly motivating.

The lower parts of the doors is were I always find that protection first fails. Another great comparison by yourself again. Your shed/office looks great.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Completely agree with you as to which parts of the car tend to fail first. I was absolutely astounded as to how much the boot came back after the Feynlab wash - that stuff is sensational! Also, thanks for mentioning the shed/office, we're pleased with it. It's L shaped, with the bottom part of the L being the shed, and the vertical part being the office 👍

Another very thorough test, I've used the Turtlewax and been very impressed with it but I've now run out and have been considering SiRamik Lustrous Graphene spray sealant, problem is I've got quite a few protection products already. Wish you luck with your hose and hope your fully operational for more videos.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

I know exactly what you mean in terms of volumes of other products that you have to use already, I'm trying to get through some myself! Partly because I also want to try Lustrous, that's getting really positive reviews isn't it? I've used the hose reel in anger for the last couple of days and it's absolutely brilliant. I need to tidy the install up now before showing it off, it's a bit haphazard right now (completely functional, not remotely professional looking). I shall, at the very least, do a quick show around for you, but I'll try and add it to the van project video series (it just needs to be compelling enough content).

@@SuperchargedLlama It's a shame you've had such problems with Direct Hoses as the Grey7 I've now got would be ideal for your mobile detailing business, I'm really very impressed with it given the price, lets just see how it goes longterm and hope it doesn't throw any wobblers.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

@@markmoore6264 agreed! I just can't take that risk now. I would if I was even semi local, but the experiences I've had mean it's just not viable from a business perspective.

[@markmoore6264]

@Supercharged Llama Detailing I really don't blame you, I wouldn't have bothered myself but they are pretty local so not too bad

[@Geeky_detail_reviews]

Great video darling. I was waiting for my shout out lol 😂

[@SuperchargedLlama]

Might have been too subtle! Or didn't it make the edit, I had an absolute mare doing this one and I walked off in a huff when it crashed 😂

great video, new IW Synergy Refresh shampoo will help clean protected paintwork, been testing this recently.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

I've just finished filming the 8 month update (which will include footage from month 4-8) and they're still going. Slowed of course, but they're there. I washed it with Fireball PH3 as I got that at Waxstock, didn't do a whole lot tbh, but Garage Therapy Waterspot Remover made a hell of a difference, brought it right back. Thats took going to conclude the test for me now though, I want to try other stuff and they are properly on their last legs.

[@decker0373]

Thanks for the content. I'd not even heard of the IW product but it looks decent but, £25 for 185ml seems crazy. I presume it's compressed or something, well I'm hoping it is. I have the IW Synergy Lite ceramic to play with, when the weather is a little better, looking forward to that. All the best.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

I think the Flairosol trigger means you get a really fine, gentle application and don't use too much product (where as the Turtle Wax Flex Wax comes out as a quite thick spray, you may potentially use more/waste more...but I didn't quantity that during the application, so it's just subjective and probably wrong). I think the biggest issue for Obsidian is Synergy Lite actually, you can do the same prep I did here and apply synergy lite and get about 9 months to a year.... Although this would be a lot easier to apply still, and I reckon there's enough to do your car 8 times in this bottle.

[@decker0373]

[@mBaggins]

Good video mate. Infinity wax products are very good. Can you do a video comparing Autofoam to Infinity wax Powerfoam? I did ask you a long time ago but you didn't want to because you thought the infinity wax product was caustic and could damage trim

[@SuperchargedLlama]

I've got a sample of powerfoam from the previous round of mystery boxes so I can definitely do that now 👍 I've got a bunch of other foams from Koch Chemie to do as well so I'll try and get them out ASAP. The powerfoam one could be a reel or short 👍

[@garethdavies7564]

infinty wax now has a offer on it £10 🤯

[@SuperchargedLlama]

I just saw that. I should do a quick short/insta story mentioning that because it's so good!

[@SteveLBMK]

At the risk of being slightly tree huggy, I'm against any products with unnecessary packaging and it seems to me that the pressurised Infinity Wax spray has some unnecessary gubbins that are unlikely to be recycled. At least using standard spray bottles means that you can use them over and over again.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

You can reuse the Flairosol bottles too, that top does come off and can be reattached. But if that wasn't the case you would be absolutely right. It's actually shipped without the Flairosol trigger in the bottle.

[@SteveLBMK]

@@SuperchargedLlama Modern humbug, LOL!!! P.S. Sorry to hear about your hose woes. Um, that's not a double entendre (but could be at our age). You still need to upgrade your nozzle(s) to decent laser cut ones, well worth doing even if they are a bit pricey.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

@@SteveLBMK don't you hate it when people have an answer to your well made point? Drives me up the wall 😂 The problems with the hose are almost comedic, I was just incredibly lucky that Mark was so generous AND a subscriber! And yes, you're absolutely right about those nozzles, just saving up to get the Carscope ones!

[@SteveLBMK]

@@SuperchargedLlama My 15' nozzle has a tendency to become blocked, which requires a sharp pointy thing to unblock, slightly irritating. No problems with the 25' one though 👍👍👍

[@roscopervis]

A very good review. I think for the volume you get, the TurtleWax would be the better buy, particularly given its application versatility, but it isn’t quite as hydrophobic at all stages, though still working. What is apparent to me is that the Obsidian is a lot better than the other graphene sealant that comes in a flairosol. Neither are as good as DW’s darling graphene sealant product which is very, very good though. What is the star of the show though is the Feynlab Pure Rinseless. I have also used it as a general bucket wash, purely for its free rinsing nature and declogging ability and is brilliant.
