TURTLE WAX GRAPHENE FLEX WAX Review // 5 Month Stress Test

[@rickyanke9407]

I've been using TW spray n shine for about 3 years. Very happy with it. Put the graphene spray on my 79 k10 with 43 year old paint. The depth, gloss, and slickness is absolutely improved vs an already great product. I'm sold on the graphene until turtle wax knocks another one out of the park.

[@thatdtailguy]

Wow what an excellent and well thought out comment! Thank you for the feed back brother!!

[@isidrosevier1125]

The gloss you get from graphene is amazing, the slickness compared to ceramic is also amazing. Ive tried the black magic graphene detailer i got it on clearance at Walmart for like $3. Being a black magic product i was quite amazed at the results.

[@thatdtailguy]

Cool

[@butchc9226]

I got Hooked on the TW Hybrid stuff 2 years ago. After a good cleaning, clay and Polish, I applied TW Max Wax. Now I use the Flex Wax as a topper after a wash. With any ceramic coating your gonna need to maintain it anyway. So for my personal cars it’s a no brainer. Cars look great and maintaining is simple.

[@thatdtailguy]

You're absolutely right!

[@petedetraglia4776]

The best method is to cannon wash your vehicle then I dry it with a leaf blower. I then prep each panel with an alcohol/water mixture to clean/detoxify each panel. I then use the TW Max Wax first. After applying the Max Wax and buffing it off I go over it with the Flex Wax Spray as a topper to the Max Wax base coat. Did this a year ago to my son's 2013 black Dodge Charger RT and the paint is still beading and sheeting amazingly about 12 months later. Every time I wash his car I dry it thoroughly and only use 2 sprays per panel of the Flex Wax spray and wipe it into every panel...This car has been beading and sheeting for over a year now...Getting the base coat of TW Max Wax it the key and topping it off with the Flex Wax is like recharging the coating each wash. These are great products by Turtle Wax and work amazingly when applied correctly.

[@thatdtailguy]

Yes sir!

[@johnfranklin5277]

If I saw that my auto detailers car looked like hell, I'd find a new detailer. However, at 64, I'm still doing all 6 of my vehicles myself, including hand waxing, hand washing and drying. Cracks me up when I see 20, to 30 year olds lined up at the automatic car wash places..auto washing, drying, and waxing is excellent excercise which give you a good workout, and increases stamina..

[@thatdtailguy]

Yup!

[@thetechlibrarian]

I don't know man. It depends my buddy. That's a barber says that you don't want the barber. That's all pruned up because that means he's got a lot of time and no customers

[@johnfranklin5277]

@@thetechlibrarian Nope, his car is an example of his work.. If it looks fantastic, Im going to think he knows his stuff, and mine should look great as well, if his car looks unkempt, and dirty, im going to think, 1 He's lazy. 2, he doesn't know how to properly detail a car, ..its basically the same for many businesses, if my pool guys pool is filthy, I'm not going to hire him to clean my pool. If the housekeepers house is filthy, etc.......Now maybe the younger generation doesn't make these connections. But the older ones do.

The secret to flex wax is less is more, a little goes a long way if you apply it heavy it streaks.

[@jlucguerrier]

It took me an entire bottle to realize that. Lol...

[@kyba74]

Just learnt that too. The streaking was terrible with 5 sprays on the bonnet

[@_Circus_Clapped_]

@@jlucguerrier lmao

[@darrenmarajh5304]

Ohhhhh because I was getting mad of these streaks

[@jlucguerrier]

The best way to apply Flex wax as a drying aide is to use two or three sprays on the wet panel and then SPRAY INTO A DAMP MICROFIBER CLOTH and wipe it into the panel to get full coverage. Then dry as usual with another towel. No High spots. No streaks. I saw this on another KZbin channel and it is revolutionary. I love the idea of Flex Wax but it was a nightmare to put on. This technique makes the product usable again. You can spray more onto the panel and not have to worry about high spots. So glad I found that trick.

[@saiduttchakka]

amazing videos! for own vehicle, how does the TURTLE WAX HYBRID SOLUTIONS CERAMIC GRAPHENE PASTE WAX compare with the TO THE MAX WAX? Thanks a ton.

[@thatdtailguy]

I would recommend the either one the application process is nearly identical.

[@omarstephenson8967]

To the max is better..

[@Ladysman_217]

I use this stuff like a concentrate. I use 2 ounces flex wax and purified h20 in a old quick detailer bottle. A lot easier to wipe off and leaves excellent shine. Straight out of the bottle even with a damp cloth I seem to have streaking issues.

[@thatdtailguy]

Are you applying in direct sunlight??

[@Ladysman_217]

@@thatdtailguy No sir. It just seems to dry before I can get it buffed off. I don't seem to have any issues when diluted.

[@thatdtailguy]

@@Ladysman_217 yea, I typically only apply in my garage, or as a drying aid, and it still streaks

[@lonewolf4827]

Sreaked really bad on my wife's black car as well. Had to use the damp cloth method to clean it up and I'm not sure I got it all. I may give your dilute with water method a try. Thanks 👍

[@vincentfontanez9334]

2 questions, why didn't you use glove to apply? Why didn't you do a rewash and rinse to then clean the paint?

[@thatdtailguy]

Didn't want to use gloves, I followed the directions from the bottle

My 2004 Chevy Malibu the hood roof and trunk are so badly oxidized yet the fenders and doors look good I'm using Turtle Wax heavy duty compound with a Sears Craftsman buffer and a wool pad! I found it easier to actually wet the panel first and give the Wool pad a few sprays of water and then put the compound on is this wrong?

I have a quick question here, have a new car and wish to apply the TW flex wax on it after washing and drying, what process do i need to follow there? Have read a lot about applying sealent first and then waxing, lots and lots of stuff on the forums, i am confused about my car maintainance regime, can you help me?

[@thatdtailguy]

For the first time u apply tw flexwax to a dry vehicle. Once you've applied the product once the ne,t time u was ot you can apply to a wet vehicle and then wipe dry

[@utkarshwadhwa]

Thanks for replying, is there any other regime I need to follow like polishing or waxing it first then using flex wax or straight after wash-dry, applying flex wax will be enough protection? I also heard people top it up with Sonax BSD as well.

[@thatdtailguy]

@utkarshwadhwa u can polish first then apply for the first time, once it's applied u simply was the vehicle then you're done

[@mikenewell5683]

I used on new vehicle. I did steps I learned from detail channel Pan the organizer. Wash, clay the paint, ( I used a clay towel), do an IPA wipe down, then do flex wax per directions for the base coat. Since then after washing I do the 2 sprays per panel method as directed on product bottle. My car is a weekend driver. So it doesn't see the rain or snowy weather. So I can't say how well it works for a daily driver.

Subbed love the energy but I feel your selling yourself short by not offering paint correction and ceramic. You don't have to push it just offer it

[@thatdtailguy]

Yea, I actually just did a ceramic coating. There are other reasons why I don't want to do them, but ultimate what stays true... is just that my typical customer and I would say most customer, don't need one.

[@WhiteBeardDetail]

@@thatdtailguy I hear that Toyota camrys aren't one but it's sold to that customer that finances a vehicle and is going to keep it long term and values its paint! Anyone that would value the paint should have a discussion about ceramic. I'm not saying sell all your services but when you talk to your customers threw questions and conversations you have to discover how and what they want from there vehicles paint. And then speak to them on services you offer
