![]() I settled on Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic, for $13 on Amazon. Another plus is that is seems to repel dirt very well. The plus side is it is so easy to apply, even easier than 845. So far I would say it is every bit as good as what I get with Collinite 845. I've recently started using Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic spray coating. All readily available off the shelf at the parts chains and don't have to be ordered from a detailing vendor. TW makes a couple well-regarded versions of these spray coatings, one ceramic and one not. The ones applied when wet, which are either then buffed, or rinsed off don't make much sense to me. I refer to the spray and wipe coatings applied to dry surfaces. Not unusual for any wax, but that's how these sprays manifest user error. Too much, or too hot, and high spots will develop, and need to be rectified with a damp towel. 845 gives a decent shine, but the coatings have more pop. Won't leave dried crusty deposits in crevices or white residue on black plastic. I recently gave one of the "ceramic" spray coatings a try, and while durability is still an open question, these conclusions were easy to reach: I've been a "durable" rather than "show" wax user for years. I am still going to use Klasse Sealant but not to top AIO with, instead, I plan to mix it with a quick detailer to apply after washes. AIO is a breeze to apply and a good chemical paint cleaner but sealant is tricky to apply, so I am planning on switching to FK BWM-01 as a sealant because it lasts a longer than sealant, and not as much pain to apply. Read a lot of time on AutoGeek and settled on Klasse twins (AIO and sealant). I don't do paint correction due to the lack of equipment and facilities in the parking lot. My goal is 2-fold, not just to protect the paint but help me go through brutal northeastern winter and road salt. Everyone's goal and comfort level are different. Most of the above products are a wipe on wipe off. My suggestions are based on easily available locally, cost, and easy of application. Truthfully you cant go wrong with any product, they have all gotten very good. Is this situation I suggest a cleaner wax: NuFinish, Meguaris Cleaner Wax, or my favorite Klasse All-in-One (Red Bottle)Ģ) You are going to wash, clay, iron decon, polish, paint prep: Turtle Wax Seal-n-Shine (improved formula version), Meguairs Ultimate Fasts Finish, Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray Coating. Lets assume two different scenarios.ġ) You simply want to wash your car then wax, no other steps. I'm still going to use it for the shine and ease of use.You're going to get a different answer from pretty much each poster, but heres my 2 cents. I just hope that the ease in buffing does not mean it's not that tough. I mean you barely need to drag a microfiber cloth across it.Īnd the shine is the best I've seen. If you leave Zaino (for example) on too long, get out the jack hammer.īut what blew my mind was how easy it is to take off. Unlike anything I've used before, it is indifferent to how long you take before wiping off. Like other high end products (like Zaino), it takes a very small amount. I even used it on the black vinyl stripes. To top it off, it doesn't stain black plastic trim. I still don't know how long it will last but it has the best shine I've seen and it is ridiculously easy and simple to use. I mean why put one color in the name and can you get more hyperbolic than "wet diamond"?īut even though I had a blue car and it had a stupid name, I decided to try it anyway. And frankly just the name of this was enough to turn me away. I had heard about Blackfire and other mail-order products, but am not inclined to try mail-order stuff without credible reviews. They never lasted as long, but I enjoy "waxing", so that didn't matter so much.Ībout a month or so ago, there was a thread here about Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant. So I drifted away to the chain store flavor of the month which usually gave a better shine than Zaino. Zaino is extremely tough but their system takes a lot of time and is not a 10 for shine.
