I agree, spray waxes for ease of use or rather speed but there's something old school about hand waxing a car. Also if you polish, would you then apply a spray ceramic wax after🤔?
As a business decision for my normal production line details, it would definitely have been a spray on like Black Ice, but it didn't live up to it's promise of 12 months, so if TW 75 lasts 12 months, well that would change the game, especially having the ability to share the information on what the product really is.
Bought this when it first came out. Best paste wax out there and the durability is excellent. After 2 months and 5 washes still looks great. Worth every penny.
Turtle wax ceramic and graphene paste wax lasting? realistic? Without any further protection? And with 3 layers? With 4 hours application in between? And approx 18 hours protective enviroment and dry it will be realistic scenario 9 months at least? What do you reckon? With approx 4 application layers... 2 straight away and the other 2 additional after 6 hours and then car was inside in the garage for approx 14 16 hours! So do you recommended and reckon that it will have at least 9 months? How often do you recommended to re apply for? Every 2 or 3 months? How. Many layers? 2 to 3 layers and to stay at least 12 hours inside in a garage?
I use this every august and it lasts a realistic year.. I wash both cars, clay bar both, then put two coats of this on two very clean cars.. both are garage kept every night, and again, religiously cleaned weekly. Glass i clean with distilled water and two caps of white industrial vinegar, I also run mcguires compound on my glass.. it removes water spots and makes your glass as clear and perfect as possible.. But, i have tried the hydro gel chemical brothers, but still this works better..
Turtle wax has really put out some great products over the past few years - they used to be low end back in the day but really have changed their image.
@@epicautomotivedetailing agreed. These new ceramic sprays are amazingly easy to use, work well and make the car look amazing. Since the first spray came about others have joined and mostly all get good reviews. Being an old timer used to planning a day to hand wax your car, these new sprays are a godsend! I try them all. Wanted to get my hands on this TW but it is sold out everywhere! My 2008 C300 looks like it is brand new because I take care of it using all these good products. Some call it a chore. I call it personal therapy. :)

This is the one that doesn't cause nasal n skin allergies,due paste foam, rather than fumes. Loved it! Using Soft99 paste too. Gorgeous SL n results! Thanks for video, stay safe!
I use the turtle wax ice spray and you would never know my truck is going on 8 years old. I have a Ruby Red 2013 Ford Edge and people are always amazed at how slick and beautiful the shine looks ,especially women . LOve detailing my baby .
Thanks Jack. So pleased to help. I love mixing it up so some days are serious, some business, some stupid and some just totally random but I love making them 🙏
I just bought the Turtle wax Color Magic Jet Black. Tested it yesterday. It's impressive. You need to wear gloves. Easy on, easy buffing. It stays black at panel seams and doesn't cure into a white eyesore. $12 US. It can hide small nicks and makes the black look very deep. I will buy more. Great video!
On the cars I work on, I like to use wax as a final stage protection. Autoglym ultra HD, Bilt hamber speed wax, and Harley carnauba wax are my go to products. 99% of my work is on classic and historic vehicles, and the owners like to see there cars have been waxed in the traditional way.
That's a very good way to look at it. Traditional waxing not normally for me until the other day. Then again I tested graphene spray today and that made question which I prefer
First time to your channel, great review so thanks for that. I've always used good quality wax, I think there's nothing more therapeutic than an hour waxing and polished my new paintwork. Fortunately I have time to do this and can't wait for us to receive it hear in Australia. Thanks again.
I have applied 3 coats of the "75" on my flat red GTI. Respectfully Imho red is as rewarding as black and the results of this wax on the red has been as good as what you see here. Gloss, depth of color as well as better than decent durability has me hoping that TW will in some way continue this wax. It is freakin extraordinary. Three- four weeks on - topped with the FLEX Graphene spray is mf'ing astounding.
I’ve got magnetic gray metallic and let me tell you the depth, gloss, and flake that came after using this stuff was crazy and only improved after topping with P&S beadmaker. Now every wash I use beadmaker as a drying aid to just keep up the protection and the gloss and slickness is incredible
@@schmidtygt yes, that paste brings out the best "look" on everything. And that is just one of it's virtues. I personally have not used Beadmaker but if it works for you and gives you "pride the ride" then "shine on you crazy diamond!"
I have been using this wax for about 5 years. I don't drive much since covid as i am still 100% remote, so my car sits a lot, usually a week and only leaves the weekend, so for my car this wax lasts over a year before i apply it again. The wife's car, that's a different story, her car is driven daily and of all things past a Lime processing factory, so every 3 months i have to use a restore product on the plastic, but i still get a year out of this product on the body.. I have tried the hydro chemical brother's ceramic gel. It works well too, but only lasts 6 months..
In real it wasn't but the camera can't always show true defects but I'll be making an in-depth video and will feature this wax on 10 more videos this year so yes it's coming on another video soon
No matter what, on camera and photos, a car always looks to have paint in good or very good condition. Thats why viewers always say this sort of comments.
I'm glad you're going to actually go back in a couple of weeks and a couple of months to look at the durability of this garlic yes I did take garlic wax if it is as good as soft99 which is also a hand applicated car wax which I can guarantee will last one solid year new graphene sorry garlic wax will be a winner a lot of us guys R looking forward to your future testing of this particular wax a wonder graphene wax
Just used this wax this morning it's truly amazing to use so simple to work with nothing iv used before is this good infinity wax plus gloss is good but nothing like this well done turtle wax very impressive stuff
Brilliant review. I think for the money, this is ALOT of wax for the money. Especially as there are waxes out there that don't do half of this for twice the value. The gloss was amazing on this, I'll be buying some for my monza rs6 after this review
Finally a car wax that has been doing what Nu Finish has been doing all along. I've been using Nu Fish since I was 21, 55 now and it has never let me down. Welcome to the future Turtle Wax
George I tried Nu Finish about 50 years ago and wasn't to happy with it. In fact I used it on my parents car, which was a newer car. It really didn't make the car shine and then after only 3 weeks it had disappeared. Then I tried it on my sisters 58 ford Fairlane hard top convertible. Which the paint was a little faded, because of its age. And Nu Finish didn't do anything. It didn't bring back the paint like they said it would and then it didn't even put a shine on it. I threw that shit in the trash. Worst shit ive ever used.
TW onto another beltin' product, Pan's black Audi demo looked just as good as the Merc does Dave, you could be onto a winner there, look forward to the updates. 🐢🐢🐢
Thanks mate. This car only had a wash and dry and I wanted to put people's minds at rest that prepping ain't everything. Sometimes a good wax is all you need 🙂
Thats interesting as I was under the impression you would polish before waxing. That looked great if it wasn't polished then. What do I do with my new tin of Meguires???
@@andyprior6099 nothing wrong with some Ult Compound/Polish in the summer, before protecting it all again......but you don't need to prep is what Dave is showing.
@@epicautomotivedetailing Yeah, I can't wait to see them. Very informative channel and greatly enjoy it. I am in the fortunate position of being retired, but owning a Alfa Romeo 159 ti Sportwagon in alfa rosso red - some people might say it's a colour that is too close to dog d**k red,. Can't wait to see how good my car will look after a good fettling with this stuff.
I don’t wax much these days as it is time consuming but do every now and then. When I do though, I’m always impressed with the look and a lot of waxes have the best beading.
Currently I’m using Meguiars Black Wax. On first wax, the wax results a bit more glossy on my 10 years old black car. But after few months as I wax my car once a month, my car looks very amazing at a distance view, like a new paint, deep gloss (however they will see a lot of scratches if at close view). I think it is better to wax once per 1-3 month using good wax, rather than wax once a year, if you very care about gloss.
Turtle wax has been quite acceptable ever since they rolled out "Ice". I've had great results with their products over the years. I use everybody's products. Mothers, Meguiars, Turtle Wax, Griot's, Ammo, RainX, and the list goes on. They're all good products. I use Turtle Wax Ceramic on moist conditions, and Mother's Carnauba paste wax on "weekend show projects".
Am with you on all the above. Love this paste from TW. Mother's Carnuba still has its place doesn't it?...on certain paints [imho flat paint] Carnuba still "looks" prime.
I've tried several spray waxes on my new car(s) and older cars. They work well for maybe a month and then die, and that is using quality PH balanced soap. Even with cheaper pastes and liquids, they at least go 3 months before they wear out. I just don't think spray waxes hold up well under the HOT Florida sun, they probably work better for cooler/darker climates- they bond to paint sure, but they don't seem to leave much product behind to help seal and protect the paint.
As you said, this wax have a great profit margin, but I wouldn't say paste waxes are dying! Yes normal waxes with a couple of weeks durability are dying, but waxes like this or the BH Double Speed wax have a good show off potential when it comes to impress customers. My Turtle Wax hopefully comes this Friday! I am excited to try it out.
Thanks mate sorry didnt mean that to be bad against wax. Just based on trending ceramic sprays becoming more popular. Im pleased that waxes are making a bounce back. Ive got a more in depth video on this coming but going to film real world tests first so should be interesting
No worries it wasn't mean at all. I was using spray sealants and lately Hybrid ceramic waxes on cars all the time. I just recently trying out paste waxes like Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax and you are right about return of investment, I just added that it is looking good for customers point of view. Spray waxes are really quick to apply but putting on paste wax is really old school. 😎
I'm more of a ceramic spray fan over paste wax. I like quick and easy fixes. I think if I had a nice car myself I would definitely be tempted for a paste wax because it would be more special to me 😁
I have just started doing mates cars to build up my profile to get work my way. Im not normally a fan of turtle Wax but I got a bottle of the original turtle wax and machine buffed it onto my mates car. I was amazed at the Finnished result it looked amazing on his dark blue car. 👍
I'm not sure wax is dying out, there seems to be a returned interest in it, even Gyeon have brought out a new product, and it's a wax (Q2). I'm a fan of waxing and use Bilt Hamber - brilliant products across the range. Wax adds depth and enhances colour in a way sealants and sprays can't. It doesn't have the longevity of a ceramic, but it doesn't have the price either. I also find polishing and waxing the car a form of therapy, and just slowly enjoy the process ... and being left alone hah!
It looks like waxes are coming back in fashion, I hear more and more new waxes coming from coatings manufacturers and if this TW wax lasts at least 7-9 months, than its a real winner considering its price
I heard mention that gyeon has a new wax that is supposed to be awesome.. new release etc ... love to see a comparison or just your opinions on the two
I've always been a big fan of waxing cars out of a tin but like everybody else I've become a bit lazy and started using spray waxes but then we started to use who Joe 99 on my son's BMW you a amazing product but they've changed it it though so I'm a turtle Wax fang I have been waiting for this new product and after watching your video which thank God is an actual Englishman not an American or a Canadian sorry pandaman do like him and you spoke the truth we've all got away from waxing cars get the spray out but I found this very interesting or look forward to all your videos now is this going to be the Holy Grail of of weekend Warrior waxes look forward to your videos
Just used this today for the first time. It was easy and i like that you don't have to wait for it dry. Who would of thought Turtle wax would ever be good lol.
TW has just released a whole new line of car cleaning products, Where as the anniversary paste was $39.99 here in the USA, now it is being offered for @ $29.99 (+free shipping) without the anniversary lid. I will be ordering some soon !! thx for the info
I do think you could of used pretty much any paste wax on that fairly new car and got the same amount of gloss The graphine thing all seems like the new " ceramic" lable That all new products need to have in order to sell regardless of how much graphine oxide is in them or if it actually works any better than a normal paste wax Would love to see more paste wax tests on your channel really enjoying your videos at the moment some great tips in them
as long as its not a silver or white car, really like to do a paste wax. BH DSW is my go to £15 quid a pot good on and off, and you can quickly get round the car. but I have bought a pot of this stuff to give it a shot, but it looks good so far, it looks like it goes on like butter. TW are claiming 12 months when maintained with power max wash and topped up with the flex wax. they also say its compatible with the hybrid ceramics range as well!
Big fan of Soft99 waxes and this sits in that price bracket . Certainly impressive and as you say its moved on in terms of protections but I enjoy the process of waxing a car over a easy sealant product . Can see me buying some , but I do have a few tins of wax and ceramic based waxes already . In terms of this dying out its rare you see anyone testing a polish now . Most are all in ones that you do see
Thank you. I'll be doing a more in depth video soon. Just needed to get a quick video out before everyone else does. Definitely have a nice car to try it on next time
I got it. It's came with that wax 2 towels and 2 T shirts and hat. I had subscription to glove box . It's was only $30 I payed for that month. They got me that box. Retail on the box was $120. Ebay sell that wax alone for $70
Just used it 36 euros here. Easy on ok off. Car is silver with minor flecks of gold and green called lexus sonic titanium. Brought out the flecks nicely and gloss is very good but didn't knock me off .y feet. I reckon 10 applications in a pot is about right. Thanks
@@epicautomotivedetailing to be fair I gave it another buff six hours later and the gloss is now outstanding must be a cure time as usual I read no instructions haaaaaa. Thanks again for the video it was excellent viewing.
Out of stock on Amazon and both the US and British Turtle websites, most likely due to your glowing review. Maybe use some of your most likely new influence with Turtle and tell then to get it in gear. They are missing out on sales. Great review.
Thank you for the great video Dave. That Turtle Wax looks some good stuff. Personally I prefer a nice Carnauba paste wax such as Harly or Farecla Supergloss over ceramic / graphene paste wax. I find those Carnauba waxes easier to apply and take off. Also less they don't stain trims. There is something therapeutic about waxing a car. However if you're offering it as a service, then a spray sealant makes more sense as it's quicker especially when you can use the sealant as a drying aid. Keep up the good work mate. 👍
Carnubas wash off after several carwashes, whereas this Ceramic/Graphene product is good for much longer with a high quality shine. For the quality of finish I demand, I need to do a Carnuba every 60 days. My "75 ceramic/graphene has lasted really well for just over six months now. I will re-do the car soon, just because I like doing it, but I still get compliments on my paint as it is.
Yet Another great vid mate, I ceramic spray a similar Merc great finish, can't wait to put some of this stuff on, I used turtle wax graphene wax stuff on my white fiesta over a week ago, still feels better than new. Rain beading is great, Soooo slick ☔🙂🙂🐢🎩👌🏻
Would be really interesting to see what you think this paste wax versus say TW Ceramic Hybrid Solutions Spray Wax e.g. can you tell the difference in colour depth and gloss. Cheers for another interesting video.
I’m looking for some good eco friendly products. Not simply because of the environment, but also for the safety aspect. Can you recommend some good ones? Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing you knowledge with us.
Another guy on you tube has done some real world testing of this product on a daily driver , prepped for the application of the wax .... it was virtually dead after two months and a couple of washes.
Depends mate. Since I did this video I have done 2 washes and it's still holding up well but definitely not dead yet. I think a good sio2 quick Detailer on top would keep it going bit longer
@@epicautomotivedetailing thanks for the reply ! Just some info incase anyone was thinking of buying. I have UHD wax ready to put on when I get the time !!!
Dave I’ve got an Audi A5 with black leather and I need to clean it and restore the colour... I’ve looked at all you videos and can’t see if you’ve mentioned any leather products to use. Have you got any advice on what product? the seats are in good condition just needs a clean and as I said restore the colour. Hood you’ve got some ideas 👍
Hiya i havent done videos that focus on leather really not new ones anyway. I used bear leather cleaner, meguiars leather cleaner. both have been great for me. For a deeper clean you can use yum interior
Now you have thrown a spanner in my works. Debating this or the fusso soft 99 wax.... I know they are different in one having ceramic, graphene etc but hey ho
Both waxes are great. Those results looked amazing but I will say this... There is another wax coming in the channel which in terms of gloss absolutely destroys anything else 👌
My dad would probably end up using it to clean carpets knowing him 😂. I'm testing it this week on multiple cars so will be doing follow up reviews as this is something special
It's great. Think people tend to knock it before giving it a fair crack and I'm using it this week on a black BMW 3 series so interested to see how it looks
Coming soon I did clean that car last week and it still looked great and the water beaded well. Wouldn't say perfect but definitely wasn't expecting perfection
Mr Weekend Warrior here. Do you need to clay bar and machine polish before applying or will a normal wash and dry be ok?? I know you won't get 100-% showroom finish but is it worth doing??
A wax seals the paint and anything on it so if you don't get rid of all those contaminants you will just be sealing them in to do their worst on your paint. The polish side of it is if you want your car to look good for longer then by polishing it first, you then seal in that shine! Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.
You've asked a question I had in mind. I don't think I'd wax straight on to a really degraded paint finish but if your paint is decent I've often thought it would be OK to just wax accepting that you won't quite get the top drawer finish. It will still look better than most cars on the road.
Another amazing video Dave, for me if I have the time I will wax, if time is limited then its a sealant. Total convert to yum ceramic since you recommended it. I also like the sealant hydrophobic wax TW do but understand the American version has now an improved formulation with SI02 and uv protection included but havent seen anyone in UK stock it, have asked TW for a response but no dice as yet. I appreciate you said the wax is limited edition... I understood and please correct me if I am wrong that the wax would be on sale and would be available permanently? If limited then Im gonna have to order quick lol.
Hi Phil with the Turtle Wax Paste Wax the limited edition part is the packaging. After they sold out they are repackaging it with new labels so the same product will be available. Yum Wax is something im going to feature soon because of the insane gloss it offers
This looks very nice, however my question is: Suppose a waxing lasts 12 months, like you say. And suppose I wash the car once a month. This means that the wax can last twelve car washes ? Isn't that too much to claim ?
Thanks for the video. I noticed your wax was nice and fresh. I just ordered this through Amazon and the DOM is over two years old (5/10/21). Do you think that's an issue? Thanks
Gr8 vid. but having tried over 100 wax/ sealants, from the 70's to date, I have found an old tin of Rain Dance, the one made by DuPont from the mid 80's out performed all other pretenders. The beading is ridiculous, each rain drop is like the water is mercury, if you drive it just moves and if you break all the water just runs down.
As just a car user what is the quickest product to use for giving my car a really good polish. How often is a normal time period between polishes? Thanks. Videos are great.
@@richarddangerfield331 Great thanks, just gone and got the meguires gold class, might get some BH to try side by side. Ill have enough to outlive the car at this rate😆👍
Great video as always Dave, I'm very impressed with this wax and Turtle wax do seem to be moving with the times now, I'm very interested to see what other wax blows the competition away for gloss and if it's cheaper than this Turtle wax one then I'll probably buy it instead. 👍🏻
I had the answer to products you never refer to after 10 seconds Dave its Citroens. Gonna go watch your brothers channel if i dont see 1 soon lol. Keep it up and stay safe.
@@epicautomotivedetailing lol if your thinking of me you will be wanting to make a summer special video featuring a gorgeous Picasso (which I have) .I'm down you way in Surrey in a few months lol
