Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray Coating

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thank you Sir, I look forward to hearing what you have to say about it 👌

[@kcole2990]

Says wait 24 hours to apply 2nd coat for 12 months protection.

[@evieemaya88]

Another great video specky. I have just tried this today on my red car, it is currently curing , but definitely have a slick to the touch finish after applying. Read the instructions you do only need 2 sprays per panel, if you add to much, you will be there rubbing away to get rid of streaks.

[@nicksdragon6929]

Just a note on what you said and did on the video. You said it says to put two coats on if you want it to last a year. The instructions say that and one more thing; it says to wait 24 hours before applying the second coat. The reason for that, is that it takes 24hrs to cure, if it is still in the curing stage then it just becomes part of the first coat. If it sets up for 24 hours, then it hardens to a point that when you apply the second coat, it actually sets up on top of the first coat without becoming part of the first coat. Curing allows a thicker coat and thus the longer protection. TW is the only spray-on that says with proper prep it will last at least 6 months and with a second coat will last 12 months; whereas the other sprays, all say their respective products could last as long as six months. FYI.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

You're right, but the point I was trying to make was that some Turtle Wax buyers will not read the instructions fully. I wanted to see what would happen when you ignore the official instructions. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi Specky, great review on this Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray,the beading worked very well after using it,and that's with no prep working the paint.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thanks Steven. Yep, it's very effective. I'm sure it won't last as long as a prepared surface but it still works very well.

[@ronaldhebner2146]

I’ll offer the benefit of my experience regarding turtle wax ceramic spray wax. First, don’t apply in direct sunlight and do not apply with a surface temperature above 75 deg Fahrenheit. Don’t spray directly on to panel. Use a microfiber applicator pad for complete and uniform coverage. Remember less is more. Buff to a high luster with a clean microfiber towel. Change your towels often. I used appx 6 oz for two applications. Paint preparation is paramount and clay bar first as a minimum. Machine polishing in addition is even better. Wait 24 hrs between coatings. Work logically top to bottom. You will find as I did the results are excellent. As with everything in life you’re only going to get out of this what you put into it. Paint prep will consume most of your time. Work methodically and carefully.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Well said!

[@DG-EditsYT]

I have 4 bottles of this and 4 bottles of the TW hydrophobic wax black bottle? I aim to use the Ceramic from now on, the cheaper spray gave a lovely wax like finish and durability is excellent

[@nicksdragon6929]

Good video, although I think to try to compare Jet Black Spray Polish to Ceramic Polish and Wax, well, there is no comparison. The Ceramic Polish is a real "PRO" product, that both an enthusiast and the average Joe could use, whereas the Pro would not use the Jet Black to replace the Ceramic Polish and Wax. And the results of the Ceramic product gives professional-level results. When comparing the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Sealant Spray to the Sealant Hydrophobic wax is again comparing a significantly more solid Si02 product to a lesser product (in my opinion). But thanks to you and numerous other KZbinrs who are testing these products for us, time will tell who really is the better buy. I am pretty sure the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic line will be the clear winner. I switched over to the Hybrid Solutions line in November and can already see the improved performance. I am glad you shared the Average Joe missing the detail in the instructions, but I hope they too enjoy the new world of Turtle Wax just as I. Specky, please keep up the good and skeptical work that you do, because we will all benefit from your commitment to our happiness in our garages. :-)

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thanks Kyle 👍

[@andyupton5851]

After trying lots of spray sealants and detail spray I have ended up just using the turtle wax sealant (cheap one) after every weekly wash on everything including the wheels. Don't have to worry about how long it lasts. As long as it has a week of protection I'm happy.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

That's the nice thing about the sealant, it's an easy to use product that can be applied as often as you like and it's a great price. I would recommend the ceramic line for people with long term protection in mind but don't want to wash all that often.

[@andyupton5851]

I just can't help spraying something on after dryinging so thought as it's so cheap I may as well use it. 😀

Great video. 18 uk pounds is $33.85 aussie. 8 gbp is $15.04. The old seal and shine here is $27, so it will be interesting to see how much we get shafted on the ceramic one. Mequiars ceramic is 26.59 GBP (50 aussie) here if that helps understand the shafting.

[@mrgoodkat3722]

Another great honest review.100% agree with your view.I bought in bulk Turtle Wax hydrophobic spray and dry and shine when heavily discounted,less than £5 a bottle.I regularly detail my car once to twice a week weather permitting,so I am more than happy with the performance/longevity of the afore mentioned products.I will see if after a while this new “ceramic” range goes the same way as being heavily discounted,then maybe I will try them.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thank you Mr Goodkat, I agree if the price comes down after reaching other retailers then the appeal of the ceramic range will improve.

[@DG-EditsYT]

Hey thats dedication i bet you car always looks super, i wish i could do mine at least once per fortnight, i used to on my old cars but lost touch of the detailing

[@Mogsy28uk]

great honest review Craig -- i agree about the pricing, typically TW UK website is about £2-4 higher for the older hybrid range than i can get locally from Autosave or Autoparts (Inverurie) -- Sealant and Dry & Shine for about £7 each. Hope to see the ceramic range in Halfords in late January for maybe £14-16 each, but will have to wait and see what other vendors offer too, its a lot of outlay if you don't like the products. TW should do some smaller versions for testing.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thanks Mogsy, I think the idea of sending them out to people like me is to show you how it is to use so you don't need to spend money first. I hope the prices come down, just a few quid would make a difference.

Good video mate! I applied two coats of ceramic spray wax waiting the appropriate 24 hour interval between waxes. I have also done one weekly wash and used the ceramic wet wax as a dry Aid. This weekend however I'm going to use Tac 150 shiny wax as a Topper. It really enhances the gloss, I've been told it will not disturb the coatings.

Sounds good, I hear good things about Tac products

[@barryhambly7711]

Be warned unless there is something wrong with the product that some of us have had this product smears and does not spread out with out a wet cloth-- a dry cloth-- another damp wipe then dry and buff that's how it was for me and others. Seems to work well when on but time will tell how long for

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Another good video Specky, fits in well with the first one. Like you I think they have upped the price as a result of having "ceramic" on the packaging as a number of producers tend to do. Water reaction is good, love the drying by water (sounds like some one famous from the soft south). It does look like a good suite of products though if you are only going to have a single product line on the shelf. Be good to see what the longevity actually is.

Hi Specky! I know I’m 4 years late to the party, but I just purchased the TW products you reviewed and am going to detail my car for the first time, ever 😬. My question is, can I use a buffer machine to buff off the ceramic spray or does it have to be done by hand? I didn’t see anything about that on the bottle. Also, thanks for sharing your knowledge! I’ve learned sooo much by watching your videos! Take care!

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Sorry for the late reply. I wouldn't buff with a machine as it doesn't need any pressure really and it's better to do it by hand so you can feel if there's any residue left.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

The thing missing in all of this TW stuff is durability testing, no top ups, no simulated testing, just straight out longevity. I know that we'll have to wait a while, but I do hope someone has started one!

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

If I had a spare panel I'd do it myself.

Hi Specky, I was just comparing the USD to GBP and with that in mind, your cost of the TW products is about two times greater in cost than mine here in California. When reviewing magazines such as "PRO Detailer" out of England, it gives high praise to Bilt Hamber soap and I found numerous British Detailers that said it is simply the best when you are looking the best automotive "Cleaning" soap. It is like 20 GBP for you guys, so I went to order it, but on Amazon in the states it goes for $110 USD which is 84 GBP. So I hope you do a video on it, even though it is too pricey for me. Thanks again.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

That happens all the time when we get products from the US. It's a shame as there are many products I'd like to try but they're either too expensive or not available easily. Seems you have the same issue which is also a shame as Bilt Hamber make some fantastic products. Other KZbinrs have reviewed Bilt Hamber stuff so I didn't think I'd be able to improve on them.

[@OCDaddyZsolt]

Yet again a cool video. Thx. I suppose the extra price is for the "ceramic", as usual. Also if I recall it correctly, this line should be above the regular, commercial green bottle products (in quality).

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thanks Zsolt, yes I think you're right, anything with "ceramic" in the name tends to command a higher price. They are meant to be premium products above their regular line, but how much they share such as ingredients is unknown.

[@vergo8]

Was looking forward to trying the "wet wax" but at £18 absolutely no chance

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

It's designed to work as part of the ceramic system. Think of it as £90 for an enhancing polish, long term coating and series of maintenance products. Over a year it's not that bad but I understand it's not for everyone.

Does this product protects for the UV and bird droppings to the car varnish? Or what do you think? Is it useful? -Thanks for the video.

[@golfcrank]

I’m quite new to this car care game but after reading and watching everything I could lay my hands on I’m sure that you wouldn’t apply a ceramic protection product over wax, yet this is what you seem to have done. I thought you would have to remove any wax/polish with alcohol first which would make the expensive TW Polish & Wax treatment a waste of time. Otherwise the ceramic coat would not adhere/bind with the paint clearcoat. I hope you can reply.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

The ceramic spray coating is designed to work with the polish, it says so on the label. I'm sure they would mention that if they had compatibility issues.

This is polish version :) - translate if you want to know what I thinking about this product Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray Coating. ten zielony stosowałem :) Kupiłem ten produkt. Dziś cały dzień z nim walczyłem. Moje spostrzeżenia na pierwszy rzut oka to nie jest prawda że łatwy w aolikacji. Nie nie jest łatwy, owszem łatwo nanieść ale potem trzeba się sporo namachać bo smuży się bez końca. Wydaje mi się że mogłem go dać zbyt dużo i dlatego smużył na czarnym lakierze na dachu gdy pezyglądać się pod kątem. By pozbyć się smug przetarłem wilgotną szmatką z mikrofibry i ponownie przepolerowałem. Na bocznych powierzchniach jak drzwi a mam kolor szary metalik wyszło ok, tak samo na felgach. Na szybach lekko smużył ale dałem radęInteresująco wyszło na bicznych listwach plastikowych i plastikowych nadkolach- odświeżyło je super. Mam nadzieję że mój wysiłek nie poszedł na marne i ten środek autko zakonserwuje na dłużej niż zwykłe woski z carplan typu autifinish. Tak więc jak to kupisz to troszku się narobisz. Test polania wodą wyszedł ok-woda spier.. ala bardzo ładnie. Testuję też ten środek w kabinie prysznicowej na szkłach i na okna h dachowych. Czas pokaże ile wytrzymuje i wtedy się wypowiem dokładniej. Pozdr

Should we use the turtle was polish first then the ceramic spray? I’m new to the product and was hoping a step by step for beginners.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Yes that's what TW recommend. Basically any time you want to protect your paint you should prep by cleaning, decontaminating and polishing before coating.

[@peemick]

Interesting stuff here. Good video well produced. Good showcase of the product here. Thoughts and conclusions well voiced without negativity. I think that your detailing products in the background need a bit of a tidy up for camera. Its looking messy, much like my own :). This does do what it says it does on the tin, but ... I also think that this is a complete system of protection that needs to be used together to get the claimed 12m protection. I firmly believe TW need that SIo2 to be built up in layers, and constantly topped up. This might backfire because a lot of enthusiasts will be applying these as stand alone products, due to the cost, not reading the instructions carefully enough and will be disappointed with the results. Also the 24hrs cure time on the polish and sealant requires you to have a garage to properly cure. A lot of enthusiast will be doing this in a drive outside, so a 48hr cure time on 2 products is fairly unrealistic for the UK, especially Scotland where I am. Unfortunately for my money this looks like a step backwards. Its going to be interesting to see what retailers do with this price point. I can't wait to see your review on the shampoo, its non foaming, probably due to the SIo2 content :)

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

You've absolutely nailed it there mate! The long cure time is an issue, but again these products are aimed above the average joe to enthusiasts and professionals so I can see things from both sides of the coin here. And yes, the shelves need a better system of organisation 👍

[@peemick]

@@SpeckyMcSporran I understand that is is aimed at detailers starting out on their journeys, maybe aimed at people who liked the old hybrid range and want to take it up a notch. Maybe dip a top in SIo2. Maybe they pick based on how cool the bottle looks. The people we used to be, standing in Halfords staring at the shelves for hours, working out what we want to try next. It may be aimed at professionals, but there isn't a person out there thats going to take 2-3 days on 1 job(unless your getting paid), when you can get the same or better results from other cheaper products on the market If I was a mobile detailer, I'd want a lot more than 20 cars for £97 of product. If time is money then this is a waste of resources. I'm an IT Systems professional have been for 20 years, and if I keep coming back to a job every 24hrs for 10-20 mins, it looks like I have no idea what I'm doing. As a pro detailer I'd be concerned how the application of this system looks to my customers. Even if it was in line pricing with the old hybrid range, the polish and this are out due to the cure times alone. Also the potential for mis-application and the return of poor results/longevity increase significantly for the audience this is aimed at. The big questions here are would I buy it, and if so would I recommend it to others?

£18 is just to much for that product. From such a mass producing company it is very expensive. I might expect a high cost from a low volume small brand just to cover the costs but not from them. I guess thats why they sent so many boxes out because they knew reviewers wouldnt buy it 🤣

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

That's entirely possible Darren, but when you look at the cost of ceramic products from Meguiars and Chemical Guys it's still cheaper than them. And I know you've bought loads of waxes so how many can last as long as this? And how much did they cost? And how long did they take to apply? There are lots of factors to consider. Remember that the price will likely change once other mainstream retailers get their hands on them which will make them even more competitive.

[@darrenburchmore]

@@SpeckyMcSporran meguairs was only that expensive to begin with because halfords thought they could charge the earth for thay cermaic spray. It soon shot down in price when every other retailer had a much lower price. Waxes are an obsession more than anything. I dread to think how much i spent Some will last up to 9 months and some wont. I genuinely dont think this will last the full 12 months without a top up. Just like true ceramic coatings dont last to 2,3,4 or 5 years they say without topping up of something every 6 months. It looks like a good system but i wont be in a rush to come buy it. Also the wait for 24 hours thing puts me off.

How do you maintain the coating?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Turtle Wax released a full lineup of maintenance products to go with the coating. A shampoo, detailing spray and wet wax all containing ceramics.

[@reborn_online]

I used the spray coating this evening, after a full polish using the ceramic polish and wax. (24 hr previous). I followed the instructions closely, but didn't get great results. The product is very hard to buff off, leaving smears and dark patches. I don't get it. Two sprays per panel, work it around with a microfibre, then buff with a dry and clean microfiber. It just doesn't want to come off. I don't get it, is this the same product?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I've heard a few people mentioning streaking and less than fantastic water behaviour. I didn't find any issue with application and removal myself but the poor water behaviour seems to be most apparent when the coating is applied over the polish. I mentioned this to Jon at the Forensic Detailing Channel and he said he's heard similar which is very strange. You might want try a damp towel after the initial buff then a dry one again 🤞

[@reborn_online]

@@SpeckyMcSporran Thanks! A damp microfiber sorted it out. I think this was due to the polish already laying down some coating, so this was a bit like a second coat.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

That's exactly what's happening, the polish contains a ceramic wax and the spray coating is a topper. Glad you got it sorted 👍

Your opinion with regards to water baking on the paint after applying ceramic coating? Since there is water beading then when the car is left under the heat of the sun.

Any water beading, regardless of protection product, will allow water to bake onto the paint after it gets wet unless you can dry it. The ceramic coating was no different, though it becomes easier to clean after.

I guess it's a marketing thing, instead of a ceramic infused sealant they want it to be thought of as more durable like a coating. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Walmart has it for 14.00$

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

We don't have Walmart

[@bigbluezo6]

Can you use this on gloss vinyl stripes.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I can't find anything that would suggest you can't.

What is streaking?

[@DG-EditsYT]

Product residue, common with many product, like slight smearing on a lense or a smeared window

[@birdcrazy329]

Well I wouldn’t cure in the rain and wind anyway 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Possibly not, but what can you do If you don't have a garage and the weather changes?

[@birdcrazy329]

Specky McSporran dont film it saying you have to wait 24 hours 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

@@birdcrazy329 I have to be honest though.

[@birdcrazy329]

Specky McSporran even still can’t be a true reading on it I actually love the product

[@DG-EditsYT]

Curing maybe in a chemical way, not evaporation type

[@joaquinmireles3912]

But you didn't use a damp.micro fiber towel to a tiny it

[@marshallwise2039]

The directions said specifically to wait for the application to cure before applying a 2nd coat. Duha

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I tested it to see how it performs if you don't read the full instructions. If it works well then it's forgiving and beginner friendly.

please buy a white car....

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I used to really want a white car but it's the hardest colour so make look glossy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@hakman239]

The name coating is confusing

[@Lightningbug122]

Sorry dude, you used enough on the hood for 2 cars, no joke man, more is not better,if your going to do it, do it right you wouldn’t last five minutes in my shop

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

No need to be sorry, I already said I used too much.

[@briangmail8826]

Hi Specky, just want to ask if you have heard of any "problems" with this stuff? I have 3 cars and I have always used AG polish and wax, being older I guess I am just old fashioned! This time I machine polished my black Mazda MX5 with Maguires compound after a full cleanse and applied two coats of the Turtle Wax ceramics as per instructions. It is a garaged car and was about 2 weeks before it went out. I find I come to the car and have blushing on it, rather like breathing on a cold mirror. If you wipe it it kind of smears. The garage is dry and well ventilated and I never noticed this when using wax. I have just washed the car and have found it smears when drying and I have to "polish" them out to get rid of them. I have just waxed the boot lid and it doesn't blush so I will leave it overnight and see. Maybe I have done something wrong but I followed the instructions to the letter, or maybe I just prefer wax!! Any comments would be appreciated! By the way I must live fairly close to you, I am in Banchory!?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

That does sound strange. I've heard of other issues but not the ones you have mentioned. I'm not sure what would cause that, very odd indeed. Perhaps it's worth sending a message to Turtle Wax directly and see what they say? And yes, beautiful Banchory is not too far away 👍

[@briangmail8826]

@@SpeckyMcSporran Thanks for the reply Specky! Appreciated. It's like cold condensation. I have had the car over 3 years and never got that with wax. I might just contact TW. Thanks!
