WAX IS NOT DEAD 2! Hard Tin Wax Comparison! TurtleWax, FireBall, Artdeshine, Gyeon, Bilt Hamber!!

In this video, we continue the Wax Is Not Dead Series. A comparison of hard tin waxes on a test panel. Carnauba Wax - T1, a vegetable wax harvested from the leaves of the Brazilian palm tree, Copernicia cerifera. Carnauba wax is produced and sold in different grades, with T1 being the highest quality and purity available.
Graphene oxide (GO) is the oxidized form of graphene. It is a single-atomic-layered material that is formed by the oxidation of graphite which is cheap and readily available. Graphene oxide is easy to process since it is dispersible in water and other solvents. Due to the oxygen in its lattice graphene oxide is not conductive, but it can be reduced to graphene by chemical methods.
Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is an oxide of silicon with the chemical formula SiO2, most commonly found in nature as quartz. In many parts of the world, silica is the major constituent of sand. Silica is one of the most complex and most abundant families of materials, existing as a compound of several minerals and as a synthetic product. Notable examples include fused quartz, fumed silica, silica gel, opal and aerogels. It is used in structural materials, microelectronics (as an electrical insulator), and as components in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

More of these? Liquid Waxes? Which wax should be added?

[@brandonnixon7105]

Would like to see Koch Chemie Hand Wax thrown in!

[@Carlos.Rivera]

Yes, between Turtle wax graphene paste wax and Gyeon q2 wax... which one you prefer and why?

[@nicholasthomas3635]

A Throw Back Thursday for the wax. Finding old, old tins of Rallye, Turtle, Raindance, ect. Applied on single stage & modern clear coats.

[@GlacierDetail]

I would like to see Kamikaze's wax's involved in the videos!

[@gartwilliams3347]

Zymol Carbon and Wolfgang’s Fuzion Estate Wax

[@MeliorIlle]

I'm just glad you're comparing products again.

[@tedlym.3390]

I am very pleased with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions paste wax. Thank you,

[@ShineYourLightDetailing]

This… Is the stuff I am interested in the most, if I had to pick a category of videos. Thanks so much, Brian. I hope you continue these! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Tim

[@paulreichelt1259]

I used to love using Zymol wax. Applying it by hand was so relaxing and therapeutic .

[@millerdetailing4176]

Another really great video and review Brian, definitely enjoy the comparison videos.

[@bstewartexecutivecarcare3797]

Looking forward to seeing the update 👍✌️☮️ I have only tried the Turtle Wax and enjoyed the application.

[@404notfound.....]

Really looking forward to more comparison & testing.

[@dacdri]

Thanks for the tests, I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

[@jeffb2319]

I really like this comparison! There are times I still use wax, though usually a liquid wax for applying with a small polisher. I have some friends and family members that ask for a wax because of looks and they know what to expect with it for longevity and performance.

[@mikeyp2447]

I love these comparison vids!

[@richardseem7948]

Awesome video and product review/comparison good friend

[@elithegreat6463]

Love these types of comparison's. I remember back in the mid-90's I was crazy enough to fall for the Hype and purchased A Zymol Boutique wax, it came in it's own pine box, certificate of Authenticity , and silk bag. It was recommended to be applied by Hand, to let your body heat soften the Carnauba My Black Pontiac Trans-Am looked amazing, But looking back what I paid for it..Umm, not really worth it. I actually still have most of it, still in it's Pine box, and sealed up, it's still good to go.

[@scottmccauley1701]

U want to sellit?

[@audieconrad8995]

Gr8 topic and comparison Brian. Lots of interesting comments from you and comment section, especially as an "enthusiast." Personally, I really like carnuba/montan based wax on solid colors, red & black especially... Youll laugh but I REALLY like Simoniz Paste. Contrary to its difficulty mystique, I find it relatively easy to work, [following their directions] it has excellent gloss and the durability is surprising. Not bad for a 100 year old formula. Anyways, I enjoyed this video. Shine on you crazy diamond!

[@bigd9848]

I used to love waxing my cars but now it’s ceramic coated and I don’t really have time anymore.Great video as always Brian 👊🏼

[@neilwalker5041]

I enjoy waxes and for customers who do not have the income for a ceramic coating the filling capabilities are a good option. i purchased the Gyeon Q2 wax and got four months protection before the protection began to sheet. The water behavior was on par with can coat.

[@scotbrown7305]

I am really enjoying the, Wax Is Dead?. I still love the look of a freshly waxed car. You can not get a better dripping wet look, and the jetting effect is top notch. I really enjoy Meguiars gold class carnauba plus. I know that it is more of an consumer grade but it still seems to preform really well. Thank you for your dedication to us in the car care community.

[@tracy2762]

i have used gyeon stick wax and was really impressed with it..

[@Jousten16]

This is my favorite content! There is nothing like applying a good old paste wax, especially if it's a high class one that comes with a great scent. They can keep their stinky ceramic coatings and boring sprayable sealants, those simply don't carry any emotion when working with them.

[@R3B3LMD]

I would like to see liquid waxes next. The nice thing about waxes and sealants are that they work better on trucks or things that will be taken all offroad.

[@jcal5594]

I really enjoy the results of p21s on single stage paint.

[@fcbandwagonlona7315]

Vonixx Blend Ceramic & Carnauba Paste Wax would be an interesting one to add to the test if possible!! Think it’s pretty unique in having Ceramic added to old school carnauba from Brazil, wonder if it makes it last longer? I currently use Griot’s 3in1 Ceramic Wax spray for my outside cars, but love an old school wax for the garaged cars to glow!

[@johnmelling9950]

Last time i used a wax, about 6 months ago on a customers car. It blew me away how wet and jetted it made the paint look. Its easy to forget how good a freshly waxed car looks when you are blinded by the durability of ceramics and polymer sprays. Does anybody remember Clearkote products? Their Carnauba Moose Wax left a really great finish especially on solid reds and blacks. Likewise Victoria Concours wax was another great wax. Both companies now seem to be long gone. The best looking paste waxes ive ever used though are from Swissvax. They are crazy prices and strange texture in the pot but they really do stand out for me in the looks department.

[@phamducthanhnam]

Fireball Wax is incredible!

[@larrysing]

Fireball waxes have a liquid ceramic topper you can buy that you apply 2 weeks after the wax that helps extend their longevity. It’s called Fireball TourBillon #3

[@brianhunt914]

Wax is the way at home.. just so satisfying.

[@adrianlawrence7224]

Tried using entry level ceramic coatings and they were great. However, they left me feeling quite rejected by my car as I didn't have any reason to interact with the paint. Guess I'm hard-wired into waxes. Happy again! 😁

[@123fuhfrtgfh]

Would of been nice to get some before and after gloss readings

[@on-site4094]

Great video I try to stick to products that have been around. For years a lot of the boutique products are overhyped with fancy words & packaging are great @ marketing to grab the naive. consumers $

[@Chris-wb7ni]

Liquid. Always wanted to try the fireball products.

[@Orr_s]

Would love to see Fuso coat soft99 on there…i thought wax was dead also after just getting into detailing again 7 months ago after i bought my new truck.

[@tracy2762]

can you get the liquid glass classic polish..the one that was so loved and than became hard to find..now advance auto sells it....i would like to see it compared to others ty

[@domtrabucco7612]

3D speed, & 3D Poxy both are waxed based products. Neither seem to be prone to water spotting if that’s important to you. Soft 99 has a bunch of products worth looking at as well as collinite.

[@patricktuggles4815]

Ever used gyeon a2m glass!? It's amazing

[@mikeparker9812]

I'm mobile so I still use waxes. I offer Angelwax Guardian and Enigma, and a cheaper wax as standard on my Silver Valet. I also use Angelwax DREAMCOAT on my van, car and bike when I do maintenance valets. You definitely need to do a video on it Brian, it's insane. Also as a side note I got into Angelwax a few years back cos of some of your older videos, so it's sad we don't see them in your bids so much now, especially this one. 👍

[@apexdetail85]

Love me some Guardian and Enigma…. Maybe next round.,

[@prostreetcamaro]

IMO a really good wax looks nicer than a coating (pinnacle souveran anyone?). Deepens the color more, and gives a deeper wetter appearance compared to the candy coated glossy appearance of a coating. Dont get me wrong I have adams advanced (not the spray) on my durango srt that sit's outside 24/7 the last 2 years and still holding up GREAT and I just polished out my old camaro to perfection and coated with MOHS Evo (Flipping amazing to apply and remove btw) and topped with can coat evo. Did this about 3 weeks ago. Has yet to see water so should be very nicely cured by now lol. I have considered topping a section with pinnacle souveran to see what happens. Will it even stick to the surface? Will the wax clog the coating? Not really sure lol. I would have loved to see P21s and or S100 (same thing big difference in price) compared against these. I love love those two wax's. Wipe on and wipe off. DO NOT LET DRY it is a WOWO wax. I've seen many youtube reviewers apply it completely wrong over the years.

[@mikep1550]

Personally I like waxes. Using Reset, clay and a little polish I can do a couple of different applications a season. Final one has to be a pretty tough one to stand up to Chicago winters. How about the Montan wax Poxy? I am quite interested in Blackfire Black Ice Montan hybrid wax.I have a black Subaru with a tinted clear coat topcoat and interested in what effects the wax might have.

[@mattmarnella1375]

Eventually i will coat my cars, next time we get new cars. For now im still using a wax at least knce a year. Tw graphene hybrid wax is legit. Also i still use megs gold class at least one time a year...its still doing it for me over all of the million spray waxes i have. Seal and shine is the winter protection but i still use the "waxes" during the summer months. Cant beat the shine and depth they bring to the paint.

[@De132an]

Do any of these eliminate water spots like a pure carnauba would if not dried? Thank you.

[@pauls3758]

I'll be honest I love detailing the spray wax and sealants are ok but don't do near as good of a job as taking the time to do it right polish and old school carnuba or even a modern graphene wax

[@malachi2371]

Do you know of a wax (nothing ceramic or graphene) that won’t damage or stain car trim? I enjoy the look of Caruba wax and I don’t like to worry about my towels, losing their hydrophobic properties.

[@henryhong8863]

I need leather cleaner and conditioner. Which product do you recommend

[@chrisbradley3224]

I stay away from some of the modern paste waxes because they are fluorinated. Yes, it gives terrific performance as you can see with Soft 99, Gyeon, etc., but they are questionable in terms of health and environmental impact if using often. If I’m going to use a wax I use something plain wax like P21S 100%, Pinnacle Souveran, etc. I wish the manufacturers were completely forthcoming as to what are in their waxes. For example, do any of the Fireball waxes contain per-fluoro compounds?

[@soapa4279]

I'm contemplating now on removing the coating from my Supra, and just go back to a monthly/bi-monthly wax like these to enjoy the process again. The car sits in the garage a majority of the time, and rarely see bad weather.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

Go wax. You will enjoy more

[@tommartin1223]

I used to love griots poli wax. Buti don't see it much anymore

[@norcalspitshine6406]

Nice

[@chiroguy98]

Wolfgang Fuzion would be cool to see you try.

[@MNpicker]

This is fun 👍🏻

[@flowinthrou]

What about 1000P big white Hi temp wax?

[@riccochet704]

I still use wax on my Lotus. Wolfgang Fuzion. There's just something about a wax that produces a super high gloss wet look that you don't get with ceramic coatings. Depth for days.

[@johnmelling9950]

Agreed. If i was prepping a show car and time and durability was of no concern, id always reach for a paste wax and it would be Swissvax Best of Show.

[@apexdetail85]

Agreed.

[@flowinthrou]

omg what are all these brands?

[@catchr7bluedevil]

The turtle wax paste wax over seal n shine was awesome. Very much enjoyed that combination, but it doesn't last very long. Maybe a month.

[@MeliorIlle]

That's because you're putting a paste wax with cleaners over a spray sealant, not very smart.

[@catchr7bluedevil]

@@MeliorIlle Turtle Wax recommended to apply the paste wax over their sealant. One of the videos they did showing off the new Hybrid lines has their product engineer applying on over a panel with Seal N Shine.

[@audieconrad8995]

​@MeliorIlle if you are referring to the TW Ceramic Graphene Paste Wax - that is not a cleaner wax. There are absolutely no abrasives.

[@MeliorIlle]

@@catchr7bluedevil Where?

[@MeliorIlle]

@@audieconrad8995 Every paste wax has abrasives in it.

[@styldsteel1]

There are plenty of videos of how to protect the paint, but I have a lot of cars that have chrome. No, I mean real chromium from the 50's through the 80s. What do you recommend for Chromium. I really need to lock out moisture. It's a bitch and manages to penetrate anything and causes pitting.

I dont care to use paste waxes. Sorry.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

😂 some customers I have just like them so I use them for them and are way safer than spraying ceramic sealants if you are not protected with long-sleeved shirts and gloves. Skin absorbs sprayed ceramics and are harmful if not properly protected 😂

You better apologize how dare you have an opinion
