Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Graphene Paste Wax 53737

As other reviewers have noted, this is not an easy on, easy off wax. It takes some effort and you must use two microfiber cloths to take it off. One to initially remove it and another to buff it out. Otherwise you will have a difficult time. The result is very good. One of the better polishes I have used. Is it worth the extra effort, time will tell how well it holds up. There are other products that go on easier and come off easier with just as good results.

I’m very impressed with this product.

For some background, I used this stuff on a pearl white 2012 Ford F250 diesel crew cab that sits outside under a Bradford pear tree when parked in my driveway. The pears drop onto the truck and the residue is not easily removed. I live in Indiana and I will only take my vehicles through a car wash maybe twice during the winter. The car wash doesn’t do anything to remove the residue even if the power wash the spots before going in the wash. I have been pretty good keeping it washed and waxed for the years I’ve owned it. My go to had always been a wet/dry spray wax that I had used for over 10 years on all my vehicles and travel trailer. It was super easy to apply, spray on then wipe off. Even for a big vehicle, only a few hours to get through all of it. I became frustrated as the wax I was using didn’t seem to keep the pear residue from sticking to the finish, so I set off to find something else.

I had spent a lot of time looking and have tried many other products over the years when I came upon this. After reading the reviews and seeing the pics, I thought I would give it a shot.

I knew I would have prep work since I had the pear residue to remove. I clay barred the whole car, then spray foamed the car, followed with hand washing to ensure all the dirt and residue was removed. Before starting the wax, I dried the car thoroughly.

I methodically applied wax to 2 panels, then buffed off before moving onto the next panels. With the truck being white, it was very hard to see if the wax was applied evenly and because it is a paste, definitely required more umph to apply given I was used to spray wax. Removing was more effort than I was expecting even when comparing to past paste waxes I’ve used. I resisted the urge to get out the buffer and opted to continue on by hand. I used 2 micro fiber cloths to remove,1 to take off the initial coat then another to buff to a shine. I changed my cloths 3 times; used 6 rags. I’d say for the waxing alone I spent 4 hours applying, wiping off then buffing. The truck is big and I had to get on a ladder to get some areas. So far I am very surprised how much I like the result. It is hard to describe, but the finish just looks more durable; it looks almost like polished glass with depth to it. The pearl finish looks amazing in the sunlight.

My advice if you choose this product is to have patience and put in the effort to make sure you vehicle is clean and dry before starting. Be prepared to work to put on and take off to achieve a beautiful result. All in all, I spent 12 hours over 2 days on my truck with the waxing and clay barring taking most of the effort. I would not recommend this for someone looking for something quick. Best of luck!

Muy buena cera, obtienes un buen balance entre duración, brillo y suavidad en la pintura.

Tips.

-Aplicarla en la sombra y no dejar más de 8 minutos por panel para que al retirarla no cueste trabajo.

-Aplicar igual sobre faros y calaveras para una mejor protección.

Easy to apply not sure about the durability yet

Have used this wax for quite a while now and it is by far the best wax I have ever used. It lasts, it beads water, and makes cleaning the vehicle a lot easier as dirt seems to just rinse of it. Protects the paint from UV and leaves a deep shine.

When combined with the spray wax detailed from the same manufacturer, it provides complete protection for your paint.

This Wax was a pia to apply as many people have stated. After I was done (5 step exterior job) the black truck looked like a mirror. But the water was no longer beading as it should after about 4 weeks. And I do not use car washes or high power pressure washer. I was hoping for a longer lasting wax for the energy it took to apply this crap 😂. It was shipped weird too, no packaging or seal. Like someone just sent me one from their garage. Guess I’m going back to tried and true Mother’s. All this hype over ceramic and nano everything is a bunch of marketing BS

Turtle wax hybrid solutions line never disappoint. excellent on dark metallic, easy to work with, good work time ,(do entire hood before removing not 2×2 section) use a fresh clean micro towel for final wipe down, it also goes the mile. cant speak for longevity yet .so far I’m impressed.
