Ive watched many "comparison tests" with "torture tests" and this was the most efficient. I don't need a 20 minute version of this very well done test of product. Thank you for saving me 15 minutes of my life!
I own a 2004 FX35 paint is called liquid copper and a 2012 Genesis, Platinum Metallic...clay bared over 2 years ago, used everything under the sun, nothing compares with TW ceramic spray, both these cars look amazing. I am one of these guys that could never get a car shiny enough, well TW ceramic has finally got the shine I strived for, for over 55 years!
Nice review. Watched on 1.5x playback this got the point across without wasting half my day. I've been using the meguiars since June. Can't believe how simple the process of waxing a vehicle has become. I rejected these types of "quick wax" spray-on products for years because I didn't think it was possible to get excellent results without hard work, like some crotchety old man. Now I actually enjoy detailing my vehicles again.
I use the Hybrid Solutions as well but I've seen this same comparison with weekly updates for 8 weeks and I'm thinking I might change to Meguirars once I run out of Turtle Wax.
I haven't used the TW product yet since it's not available in my country but from my 3 months use of Meguiars HCW, if you apply it properly using the wet towel method and top it off every wash using the pressure washer method, one bottle will definitely last you for a LONG time no joke. It's pretty thick & you'll only need a spray or two on a panel & you're good to go. Mind you I live in the extreme tropical climate of South East Asia with blistering heat & also super torrential monsoon rains for days & so far HCW seems to hold up pretty well.
I have some real world results. I applied Meguiars HCW to my new suv twice in the 13 months that I’ve had it, and used the Hybrid Ceramic Detailer after some washes. Results: 1. SUV always looks slick and shiny. Even when it gets dusty, you can hardly see the dust as there is so much shine that it gets lost. You really have to look for it, or rub your finger through it. 2. When it rains and I’m on the road, the water beading is so good that by the time I get home and drive it into my garage, it is completely dry, and I mean completely dry-no towel required. 3. It is so easy to apply, especially wax(which you can just rinse after applying), and it has a great smell. For these reasons, Meguiars is my choice!
Er, be careful there. Just because there's no water on the paint doesn't mean there's no road grit. I'd still completely rinse down the car with a hose and then dry it. You might be surprised how filthy the water is when you rinse and see it running all over the garage floor. I've done this once and the rinse water was full of very tiny black specks, which obviously came from the road. Just rub your hands on it. It might feel gritty. Trust me, your paint WILL feel that grit. That's why I sometimes cringe a bit when I see neighbors pull into their driveway and immediately wipe down their expensive-ass car. Soon, their clearcoat will need a professional detailer to buff out all the scratches again...
So I just used the Maguire's on my new black Ram and since I had already spray waxed it once, and per directions I did not perform the more laborious initial treatment. I just used 3 pumps per panel and rinsed it off. While the Turtle wax looks to me to bead a little better, the labor saving of the Maguire's on a large truck is unbeatable as there is no wiping or buffing!
I love turtle wax on my new RAM 3500 dually. Tried them all. Over the summer the turtle juice last 41 days longer with the beading than Mcquires or Nu Finish.
If it's anything like the durability of Turtle Wax Seal N shine I'll take it. I just applied the new Turtle Wax Ceramic spray coating 2 days ago.The Reflective properties & slickness is ridiculous!!! And I'm sure the durability will be also. If you like a super high gloss shine this is it. 😎
I use the hybrid wax holds up really well after a Vermont winter .I didn't even use a hose on my vehicle in the spring to clean it. Just used a spray waterless wash on it.
With all the testing on these types of products, one question seems to always come to mind. If you have a customer who uses these products, exactly what are you going to do to decontaminate the surface and rid the paint of this protection? If it's chemical resistant, what would you use?
why are you wanting to remove the protection? It's whole purpose is to leave it on/ If you have to remove it use dawn dish liquid with a high ratio of dawn to water. Use a sponge and rub it on the paint/ test it by spraying if off with water until it doesn't bead anymore. When it does not bead then you know the product is removed.
@@SKRooU2 yeah, not using Dawn, and on top of that a sponge? Really? That's a nice way to introduce more marring,. The purpose, to answer your question, is if you are going to do paint correction on that vehicle.
I’ll answer my question as I have bought one of the Hybrid Solutions products. I bought the Wet Wax and have to say it does look a little glossier than the HCW. Very impressed with the Wet Wax. The Spray Coating used in this video might even give a little more gloss. I’ll have to find out in the future!
Turtle Wax Ceramic wipes off easier than Meguiars Hybrid after cure time. Turtle Wax lasts a bit longer and is safer on plastics. Turtles Wax beads slightly better. Turtle Wax receives fewer complaints. It is a personal preference, they both do well but got to give the advantage or upper hand to Turtle Wax. For natural warmth and gloss with nice shine just use a carnauba wax paste. Using a spray wax or sealant is just temporary and needs to be done every month to keep up the great appearance. Remember that Ultra Violet/sun light, oxidation, nature such as tree sap, bug splatter, bird droppings, acid rain, weather, and road contaminates will wear and diminish any wax and paint job. Auto manufacturers are doing you no favor as they put a thin layer of premium paint and a clear coat so thin that without a professional sealant you are done for. Beware and use caution with any silicone / silica-based products as they are harmful to you and the environment. I would avoid using synthetic ceramic products and go back to the basics. Probably best to use Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax or Turtle Wax. Spray is the easy and quick way, that is 15 to 20 minutes per coat which you should do 2 coats if not 3 taking 1 hour of your time and another 20 to 30 minutes to properly wash, in time you'll spend several hours trying to keep your vehicle looking nice each month as you will need to wash each time before re-doing the spay technique. Better off spending 3 to 5 hours and give your car the beauty treatment it deserves and save yourself time in the long run. Oh! if you think cleaning and waxing your car is tough, try cleaning and treating a military aircraft or civilian aircraft. We do a lot of repainting and touch-ups, but no wax job. It's bad to have static electricity. Have you ever seen a big flash in the sky?
I use the meguiars hybrid as a drying agent so I can skip a step as opposed to the TW. Once a month I'll throw a layer of TW and can see TW gives noticeably more gloss and depth to the clearcoat
@@pedrogriffin1934 honestly it just faded into the background and forgotten.Too streaky to me as I have a heavy trigger finger. I have 2 bottles going stale along with many brand new 1st gen Sealn shine , Meguiars Fast Finish, etc. Let me explain, I tried a 4 yr old bottle of Fast Finish and the results were really bad. Protection died in 4 days bad. Was it due to freezing or just time...idk. honestly I feel the quality of waxes and sealants took a giant step back since the reduction of VOCs in car care began. We're just starting to catch back up to where we were 15+ years ago. VOCs create ozone and that's bad but the synthetic candy shell it produced back then would last months longer than any otc stuff out now. Bittersweet compromise to me as no one talks about VOC acrylics that would flash as you applied it and threw away the microfiber towel because it would crystallize. DIMETHICONE will never catch up to the protection of acrylic. Ever.
I use Turtlewax and haven't had a chance to try the Meguiars yet but to be honest they look pretty much the same, I'd probably buy whatever is on special to be honest. Nice short, thorough review 👍
Both are very good products! I would personally go with Meguiars mostly because I have over 9 years of experience using their products and not one disappointment to date
What’s up Wilson. I was wondering Would it be smart to add a coat of that turtle ceramic spray on top of chemicals guys white wax or just leave as it is after the wax?
I get like 2-3 weeks best out of any of these types of store bought coatings.. I’m not polishing prior but I’d find it hard to believe that they would last for an extended amount of time even with proper prep. Maybe I’m wrong though.
Test to do a thorough prep and you will see a big difference in the longrun performance. These kind of products does excell when you thoroughly get the paint clean. Use products to decon the paint that leaves nothing behind as in protection and glossenhancers. Then even clay and use a panel prep wipe product of some kind. And apply the products in good conditions as in no high humidity and out of the sun and heat or extreme cold. I had TW ICE Seal N Shine fail after 6 weeks when I applyied it on in high humidity as it started to rain directly after the SNS was applyied literally. It where a mess to apply and wipe it off. Gived it another go in a better weather conditions and got almost 5 months longevity from it side by side with the HCW that's used in this video. Thoroughly preped but not polished and still getting great longevity from them. So it's possible to get a great longevity even if you don't polishing. It's more certain to get all of the contaminants off by also polishing and get off any residue left by the polish is easier with a panel prep wipe product to get a squeeqe clean paint to apply any LSP on it. You can also use a paint cleaner by hand that leaves nothing behind as in protection and glossenhancers and then a panel prep wipe product wipe down afterwards. And getting great results if you don't have a polisher or a paint in very good condition that don't need to be polished. Especially SiO2 based products can be finicky to bond so hard as they need to be doing on a not so well preped paint. Prep is key as many says and that's especially true with these kind of products used in this video.
Had my vehicle buffed and waxed. Three weeks later I washed and clayed vehicle and spayed The Turtle wax. 3months later still happy with it, excellent shine.
Thanks for the review. So even given the bottle size difference between the two with them both heing very similar prices. Aopears the smaller bottoe being turtlewax is still the better buy as it oast on the paint longer?
I like the TW black ceramic super good product goes well with the ceramic shampoo from TW Going to get the maguiars version to test it too amazing products for any car lover Thanks for the quick and pin point review
I think either one will do well. Just avoid Chemical Guys. They're all fluff and no substance, LOL. But TW and Meguiars have established their reputations through hard work. Consider this, Meguiars got its start making coatings for furniture varnish and then the invention of the car caused them to branch out into car care products. Yes, Meguiars has been around for over a CENTURY, making it the oldest car care products brand in the world...
Not suggesting but: I had my vehicle waxed 3 weeks prior, so I washed and roughly clay bar it. Spayed turtle, 3 months later still shiney, I really like it.
Can i glaze (3m hand glaze 05990) before using then turtle wax ceramic coating???? (I will do the entire job. Wash-clay-rubbing-polishing-ipa or paint prep-glaze - coating)
Been using F11 for 2 years..its good stuff...just bought some of the T.W. today at Walmart. Will be using it on '15 Chevy 2500HD white...'13 Dodge Citadel Durango black...'04 Cadillac CTS black.You can use it on paint,glass,plastics
The meguiars is value for money where I live and a 300ML more than the turtle wax so I chose it. Whole bottle lasted me a year. Washing and coating 2 car every month
Thanks for this. I've been using synthetic waxes and have recently been tempted to purchase a ceramic wax. Is the spray on ceramic wax as good or better than rub on synthetic waxes?
I just used the turtle wax ceramic a few days ago after full wash, clay and polish. It was excellent and looks so good and deep but was quite tricky to wipe off properly. Quite hard infact. Bottle would last ages as you only need a couple of sprays per panel then rub in and polish off. Very easy on but not easy to get off. Recommended though looks good.
I have been using the turtle Wax ceramic for a couple of weeks on about four different vehicles now. And several motorcycles. It is NOT difficult to remove. It appears so, because you get some streaking. If you have covered the panel with product the streaking is no issue. Leave it alone. When you are done wipe down the vehicle with a very damp to wet microfiber towel and let it dry. No more streaking perfect finish.
Not really any difference. I have several different SIO2 ceramic coating brands and with fallowing the manufacturer instructions and cure times they are all pretty close, the only difference is going to be longevity.
hey luke hope the holidays were filled with special moments that will be cherished memories with the ones u love....good review and what I like is that u didn't rub in the chemicals....our vehicles get contaminated with chemicals but they don't get "rubbed in" to or vehicles....so your durability is more realistic than when panel gets sprayed then wiped in...well done...fyi...I have used the hybrid solutions spray....prepped correctly etc 2 coats...used wet wax after 1st wash....after 2nd wash I topped with puris jade A68 reboot 2.0....the gloss, depth and clarity of the paint was VISIBLY greater than with the wet wax...I first did trunk half and half with the two.....try this combo.....crazy glossy, slick and easy to maintain. be well my friend
Idk man, this was barely a torture test. Theres a another video out there with actual torture tests using industrial degreasers and such and the hybird solutions outlasted 7 other products including this mcguires product that failed very early on...
I really like the new Turtle Wax Products. But not the Hybrid Ceramic Wax(non black version). I completed my 2019 Honda Ridgeline. I first thoroughly cleaned the truck. I polished with 5" rotary, using blue foam pad, and using Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Polish&Wax. This worked nicely for application, clean-off, and swirl removal. I waited a few days and applied the Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Wax. This I didn't like! Apply and wiping off left light&dark streaking, uneven. I had to wipe down with a damp microfiber cloth and immediately with a dry microfiber. I have used the TW ICE Wax and Detailing on my Corvette. Works easily, and has the shine. I will not buy the TW Ceramic Wax or Detailer again!
Coincidence - I picked up my 19 Ridgeline last fall and have been using the Meguiar's HCW on it. And, I've really been mis-using it. I didn't do a full prep before the first application, just applied to the "clean" surface right after I bought it. I've been refreshing it about once a month. Just two or three sprays per panel then rinsing mostly w/ garden hose pressure (flat spray pattern). No rubbing or polishing. For what I want that's been SO easy and has given me good beading and good gloss (so far). I'm 80% through one bottle now after six months. To me it's amazingly easy to use and gives a great result.
Love your videos .... Great information as always . Please do a. Video using turtle wax hybrid polish wax with da and followed up with the hybrid coating .The results are amazing ... All the best mark in the uk
The project Farm Channel did a ceramic test as well. More brands. Also using lubricity test with a weight on it. The side-by-side comparison test of multiple products is unmatched by any other channel. Check it out, so you can learn different ways to compare products
After using both of these. The Meguiars HCW smells better. Has an easier application process, and stays cleaner. Water blows off much easier after say a rain storm. The TW feels slicker to the touch but doesn't seem as hydrophobic. The TW is definitely more chemical resistant. Gloss wise they're about equal. (2019 MX5 RF in Soul Red Crystal is the test car) What I'm going to do is keep the TW as a base and use the Megs as an after wash topper.
well...if the sprays bead off better on Turtle wax, then the meguiars blanketting would sit there longer, wearing the protection out quicker...so Turtle-wax for the win!
Thank you for review for this head to head. Now i know they both great and amazing products. How long the protection and the priced of this 2 products thats the bottom line how long? however turtle wax and meguiars you cant go wrong... Keep safe and family more tips and detailing video and review thank you...
You don't see much difference, because they are chemically the same. Slight differences in fragrance, maybe color, but the actives are the same. If you were the active ingredients salesman and TW had a killer new product, don't you think you would go knock on Meguires door as well? Even easier now that Meguires is 3M.
Would be very interesting to see more than just chemical resistance and that they did great both of them. You have so much more option to show and make a difference between the products. As how you prep and applyied the products and your thoughts about that. How and if they looks different on the paint and much more. Otherwise a good way with just spraying on the paint and let it dwell and rinse off. But some more rounds needs often to be done to see a difference between them.
Ive watched many "comparison tests" with "torture tests" and this was the most efficient. I don't need a 20 minute version of this very well done test of product. Thank you for saving me 15 minutes of my life!

Their regular wax is the best! Especially TW Hard Shell
@@Subjohny how many washes before it comes off ?
TW goes well with their ceramic shampoo
The beads form slightly quicker on the turtle wax side. A very slight difference though.
look very similar....probably comes down to an "ease of use" choice.

Very objective test which I specifically searched for here on youtube. Thank you for putting this out there!
Question why do you think the turtle wax will last longer?
I don’t see any difference. However, which product is easier to apply?
I would like to see you test not by using a high spray pattern but a hose with no nozzle of any kind, just letting the water flood the panel.
Turtle Wax = Win. Going to buy some now. Thanks
I think the Meg’s performed a tad below the TW spray, but it’s extremely close.
Oh man I can't wait to get my hands on some of the new Meguiars Ceramic Wax although it looks like Turtle Wax has stepped up their game too
Both are very good products! I would personally go with Meguiars mostly because I have over 9 years of experience using their products and not one disappointment to date
Tw is better
Hey Luke! Which would you prefer between Meguiar's Fast Finish vs. Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Coating?
I have Meguair, have had it for around 8 months now, it's decent but a lot of work. Would like to try turtle wax.
What do you mean by a lot of work? I just bought some and have not used it yet. Going to use it on my motorcycle. Yamaha r1 & R6
I put Turtle on 3 months ago and it's still super Shiney. Happy with it.
IF the Turtle Ceramic Wax is any better than the Meguiar's "Hybrid" Ceramic it's very likely that the Turtle Wax has a higher % of ceramic ingredient.
Hm, maybe I'll go for the Turtle next time. Good stuff.
I used them both. Great stuff. Both. I prefer turtle wax. Easier to polish. Less greasy
How is better of both , MGC or TCW? I want to buy TWC but cannot shipping to my country - indonesian country because lockdown to shipping...T.T

Can you use the TW ceramic spray as a topper on a real ceramic coating like the cquartz? Thanks in advance!
Did you top your ceramic coating? I'm wanting to do the same before rain shows up in a week.

Yes, Meguiars has been around for over a CENTURY, making it the oldest car care products brand in the world...
Do these actually protect the paint and what's the difference between the turtle was hybrid wet wax and their ceramic coating?
Do you have to strip the old wax off before applying the ceramic solution?
Yupp....
@@ToddTinley IPA 20% is ok for this?
@@Microjuf Use your IPA diluted with distilled water or just use Dupli-Color Grease And Wax Remover. Both will work well.
Not suggesting but: I had my vehicle waxed 3 weeks prior, so I washed and roughly clay bar it. Spayed turtle, 3 months later still shiney, I really like it.
Can you explain how you applied both sealant? Seem like very lasting the way you do it.
Can i glaze (3m hand glaze 05990) before using then turtle wax ceramic coating???? (I will do the entire job. Wash-clay-rubbing-polishing-ipa or paint prep-glaze - coating)
How do you get Wheel brightener to work with a spray bottle? Mine last about half a bottle the the bottle is done
Found the meguiars on sale . I already put the Ceramic Turtle wax on . Question can I use the Meguiars as a in-between washes ?
Been using F11 for 2 years..its good stuff...just bought some of the T.W. today at Walmart. Will be using it on '15 Chevy 2500HD white...'13 Dodge Citadel Durango black...'04 Cadillac CTS black.You can use it on paint,glass,plastics
F11 sucks
@@RareRS yup
Okay okay you win the Wilson name I guess😂 but I love your vids, so well thought out and informative!!
Cleaner AP is diluted to what ? For the first hilton the clear coat?
Looking so grown!
I remember watching you change your style up in the very beginning.
The meguiars is value for money where I live and a 300ML more than the turtle wax so I chose it. Whole bottle lasted me a year. Washing and coating 2 car every month
how would u rate its performance?
@@krave3708 very good. It lasts about 1-2 months depending on the rain. I usually wash my car once a month and the water beading is still there.
@@therealnoodles7638 is it much easier to clean ? what are the positives of this product
Just applied turtle wax ceramic spray 4 ago and it rained.. What should i do? Help pls
I bought turtle for Uv protection. Arizona eats up headlights. Wish me luck
Megs not provide uv protection?
@@Microjuf i ended up getting a headlight restoration from sams club, 40$ with 5 year warranty. they clearcoat the headlights. looks new.
Thanks for this. I've been using synthetic waxes and have recently been tempted to purchase a ceramic wax. Is the spray on ceramic wax as good or better than rub on synthetic waxes?
I just used the turtle wax ceramic a few days ago after full wash, clay and polish. It was excellent and looks so good and deep but was quite tricky to wipe off properly. Quite hard infact.
Bottle would last ages as you only need a couple of sprays per panel then rub in and polish off.
Very easy on but not easy to get off. Recommended though looks good.
@@GMC79 thanks for the real use reply. Much appreciated. I'll give it a shot.
I have been using the turtle Wax ceramic for a couple of weeks on about four different vehicles now. And several motorcycles. It is NOT difficult to remove. It appears so, because you get some streaking. If you have covered the panel with product the streaking is no issue. Leave it alone. When you are done wipe down the vehicle with a very damp to wet microfiber towel and let it dry. No more streaking perfect finish.
I just got some of the Turtlewax Ceramic Coating also picked up a bottle of RainX detailer repellent. Will have to compare the two
Not really any difference. I have several different SIO2 ceramic coating brands and with fallowing the manufacturer instructions and cure times they are all pretty close, the only difference is going to be longevity.
ScottH is currently doing a hood with a whole slew of spray ceramic coatings. Check it out
Is there a vdo to watch your application process?
hey luke hope the holidays were filled with special moments that will be cherished memories with the ones u love....good review and what I like is that u didn't rub in the chemicals....our vehicles get contaminated with chemicals but they don't get "rubbed in" to or vehicles....so your durability is more realistic than when panel gets sprayed then wiped in...well done...fyi...I have used the hybrid solutions spray....prepped correctly etc 2 coats...used wet wax after 1st wash....after 2nd wash I topped with puris jade A68 reboot 2.0....the gloss, depth and clarity of the paint was VISIBLY greater than with the wet wax...I first did trunk half and half with the two.....try this combo.....crazy glossy, slick and easy to maintain. be well my friend
Turtle wax is definitely the better product. An we have tried both in real world conditions.
No bias here
autozone gave me the meguiars as a substitute when the turtle wax was out of stock. I feel better now :D
Idk man, this was barely a torture test. Theres a another video out there with actual torture tests using industrial degreasers and such and the hybird solutions outlasted 7 other products including this mcguires product that failed very early on...
Another outstanding informative video. Thank you. Keep them coming in.
Do one on the griots ceramic spray 3 in 1
I really like the new Turtle Wax Products. But not the Hybrid Ceramic Wax(non black version).
I completed my 2019 Honda Ridgeline.
I first thoroughly cleaned the truck.
I polished with 5" rotary, using blue foam pad, and using Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Polish&Wax. This worked nicely for application, clean-off, and swirl removal.
I waited a few days and applied the Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Wax. This I didn't like! Apply and wiping off left light&dark streaking, uneven.
I had to wipe down with a damp microfiber cloth and immediately with a dry microfiber.
I have used the TW ICE Wax and Detailing on my Corvette. Works easily, and has the shine.
I will not buy the TW Ceramic Wax or Detailer again!
Coincidence - I picked up my 19 Ridgeline last fall and have been using the Meguiar's HCW on it. And, I've really been mis-using it. I didn't do a full prep before the first application, just applied to the "clean" surface right after I bought it. I've been refreshing it about once a month. Just two or three sprays per panel then rinsing mostly w/ garden hose pressure (flat spray pattern). No rubbing or polishing. For what I want that's been SO easy and has given me good beading and good gloss (so far). I'm 80% through one bottle now after six months. To me it's amazingly easy to use and gives a great result.
Love your videos .... Great information as always . Please do a. Video using turtle wax hybrid polish wax with da and followed up with the hybrid coating .The results are amazing ... All the best mark in the uk
thank you for this comparison and love the way you did them. Cure time is imo not needed at least for the Meg's hybrid one.
honestly unless you told me you put on two different products when the tape was removed i couldn't tell the difference
The project Farm Channel did a ceramic test as well. More brands. Also using lubricity test with a weight on it.
The side-by-side comparison test of multiple products is unmatched by any other channel. Check it out, so you can learn different ways to compare products
can I top these products with paste carnauba wax?
How about going on a dust test ??
Wow. He didn't show application process. And went straight to testing. Some Heroes don't wear capes.
I'll say all depends on how comfortable u feel on applying it
After using both of these. The Meguiars HCW smells better. Has an easier application process, and stays cleaner. Water blows off much easier after say a rain storm. The TW feels slicker to the touch but doesn't seem as hydrophobic. The TW is definitely more chemical resistant. Gloss wise they're about equal. (2019 MX5 RF in Soul Red Crystal is the test car) What I'm going to do is keep the TW as a base and use the Megs as an after wash topper.
Interesting , thinking of doing the same
Is it ok to use both of them in intervals?
Thanks for the review I’m gonna try the TW.
well...if the sprays bead off better on Turtle wax, then the meguiars blanketting would sit there longer, wearing the protection out quicker...so Turtle-wax for the win!
yep no real effect, but please do a review on the new meguiars green bottle sio2 based spray quick detailer V's turtle wax sio2 quick detailer. :)
The turtle side seams a bit more glossier and a bit more reflective
since its so easy to apply Turtle Wax Ceramic Coating could you just apply after you wash all the time ?
you can, but its kind of expensive!
Both great products have them both work great .
What is dillution rate of APC?
Thank you for review for this head to head. Now i know they both great and amazing products. How long the protection and the priced of this 2 products thats the bottom line how long? however turtle wax and meguiars you cant go wrong... Keep safe and family more tips and detailing video and review thank you...
Tried both. Turtle is better subjectively.
Pretty close but I think TWHS took the win. I picked up a bottle at my local Walmart for $12. Gonna get a good clay on my ride and a coat of TWHS!
How does it compares to mothers cmx
Mothers cmx is a bit wierd.. its leaving sand like residue..in some places.I am thinking use TW next time!
You don't see much difference, because they are chemically the same. Slight differences in fragrance, maybe color, but the actives are the same. If you were the active ingredients salesman and TW had a killer new product, don't you think you would go knock on Meguires door as well? Even easier now that Meguires is 3M.
Looks like the turtle wax might be slightly better at beading but it is too close to matter.
Difference is the Turtle Wax product is 1/3 the price of the Meguiars.
Nice in my country so what the same price
Turtle wax 23,50 (28,39 us dollar)
Megiuars 25,00 (30,20 us dollar)
Longevity is not the unanswered question gloss winner is the only thing I wanna know
Very informative. Thank You.
Would be very interesting to see more than just chemical resistance and that they did great both of them. You have so much more option to show and make a difference between the products. As how you prep and applyied the products and your thoughts about that. How and if they looks different on the paint and much more.
Otherwise a good way with just spraying on the paint and let it dwell and rinse off. But some more rounds needs often to be done to see a difference between them.
Awesome video. thank you brother.
Considering how easy the Meguiar's is to apply that decided the winner for me.
True, it just wont smear but you will still see how it covers and flashes off
Turtle is killing it.
Turtle wax ice is all I use I've tried them all
Need to try ceramic kit from TW even the ceramic shampoo is amazing
Love the spyder. Use to have one
how long does these ceramic coating last?
Turtle -At 3 months and still shiny. I'm happy with it.
Turtle Wax rules!
