Oh man, I cant keep up with all these products. I recently picked up a bottle of the Turtle Wax Ceramic Wet Wax on sale for Amazon Prime days and I'm really liking it. I've been using the Seal N Shine for about 2yrs and while I like the results I was open to trying a product that is easier to apply and think I found it in the Ceramic Wet Wax. I already towel dry the car after it's weekly wash so the Ceramic Wet Wax doesn't require an additional step. I feel the car looks shinier and the Tenorite Grey appears darker with the Wet Wax. I still plan on applying the Seal N Shine as a base but now it's additional weekly applications of the Wet Wax. I live right on the ocean, my cars 10' from the water during high tide so with the salty air and seagull droppings I feel better constantly washing and waxing it. Detailing the car is a pain, I don't have a garage and my parking area is gravel and no shade, I wait until the sun is going down to wash and then I have limited time to apply a sealant or Wax before it gets late and dark.
The ceramic wet wax is amazing for the price. Super easy to work with, decent disability, and provides a great shine! I'm surprised it's not talked about more for the value and ease of use you get from it.
Seal N Shine is a great product, and I think this Renegade gives it a run for it's money in several areas. I'll have to try out the Ceramic Wet Wax, not something I've personally used yet. Interestingly the more I test products the more I notice some look better on certain colors than others. So I totally believe it may look great on the Tenorite Gray.
Its a solid product. I got it around the time it first game out like...over a yr ago. I used it once. i can't remember how long it lasted but its fairly long lasting. Over 6 months for sure
Yea I think it's pretty solid too, definitely something I'd use. I could see it lasting over 6 months easily based on the durability, even a year, but in practice it will of course depend on everyone's unique environment.
@@DmitrysGarage Should be "easy", look for a Static Charge Meter. The problem will be to standardize application, since friction ("buffing off the product") could interfere drastically with the test. But again, if a product needs 10 passes to buff off, that is just bad. Love your channel man.
I want to find the most durable graphene spray on product for the salt in the winters, but the ceramic sprays seem to be more durable still from what I've seen.
I think these are very different products. The Adam's Graphene Spray is a true coating, though in a spray application. I would consider this Renegade product to be a silica/graphene infused sealant. The Adam's product will definitely be harder to apply since it's a coating and would in my opinion be a better product, but this Renegade is very easy to use. So ultimately it just depends on your goals are and if you want a simple application.
D, i have the Simoniz Glas coat ceramic on my s4, and use the spray wax every 2 weeks. But its feels like it needs to be clayed. I had a detail shop years ago and everything has changed, so i don't want to mess anything up. Do you think a light claying a ceramic coat will take it off?
I think using a very light clay carefully may still keep the coating, but if it's been years it's probably time for a decon, polish and new coating. I know coatings promise X years of performance, but as you're finding after a few years you want to re-do it if you drive the car often. I still like high durability coatings, because they also have good chemical resistance and if one does a fantastic job I know it will last until I want to re-coat it rather than worrying about early failure. However, those coatings promising 5, 10, 20, whatever years is kind of a gimmick, you cant daily a car for 10 years and not want to re-do it. For me the limit is about 3-4 years at absolute maximum, and I don't even drive the cars that much since I don't have an office to drive to, some guys just re-do every 2 or 3 years.
Yea there are so many products, and they're better than ever. This is actually why I do this, because I want to be able to decide what product is right in which situation. I do keep charts on my site, here is the chart for current testing: dmitrysgarage.com/wax and there is a chart in the garage drop down for the older 1.0 EOL test. The way I think about it is what sort of product I want (spray, coating, etc...) and then look at the table and think about the qualities most important to me for the project.
