In this video I’ll be showing the application process and water behaviour of the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic + Graphene Paste Wax using this Renault Clio to demonstrate it. I’ll also take you through the preparation process I performed before applying the wax.
My first impressions of the product are very good. The application process posed no issues and the water beading and sheeting was really impressive. The plan is to monitor the durability so I can give you some updates and see how long it lasts on this car using a couple of different prep methods.
The Hybrid Solutions Ceramic + Graphene Paste Wax was kindly sent by Turtle Wax. This is not a sponsored video and all the opinions expressed are honest.

I've uploaded my durability update on this wax now! Here's the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eRSX0v4cM24.html

@michaelwise6410 2 года назад

I enjoy waxing my cars regularly so I don't worry about longevity. I like ease of application and gloss.

@audieconrad8995 2 года назад

For my personal ride: shine and tactile feel are priorities for the look of the flat red paint on my GTI. Durability is somewhat important but I don't mind reapplications. I have found that this wax hits all 3 points for me. The shine and finish are fantastic. Durability for my needs is solid at a good 3 months-plus especially for a non-garaged but obsessively cared for and maintained ride. I might point out that if one coat is good then 2 coats are better especially for the durability whiners. If the paint has been properly prepped a follow-up application with proper curing time from the first application (24-72 hours) will definitely insure some longevity. Plus, with this paste wax the 2nd coat will apply and buff with astonishing ease. Thats how it has worked for me and am betting the same for you. This is excellent paste wax. Shine on you crazy diamonds!

What’s the most important feature you look for in a wax or sealant? Is it the water behaviour, gloss, slickness, durability or ease of application? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for watching!

@justinsteel6360 2 года назад

Durability and water behaviour are my main priorities when choosing wax or sealant. Ive been an avid user of autoglym for over 30 years but more recently been using some tirtle wax hybrid solutions products and car chem off the back of your reviews.

@HantsLeo 2 года назад

Good, honest and down to earth as always. I love the way you've got two tests in one going, some people will go the whole hog when prepping the surface and others will just wash the car. I've heard that durability falls well short of the Turtle Wax claims but we'll have to wait and see. I love a good wax but some spray products are so easy to use, give good gloss and last ages. Thanks very much.

@AutoCareHQ 2 года назад

Thanks Philip! The durability claim is very bold, the only wax I've tried that is capable of lasting a year is fusso coat but I never really enjoyed using that one much. I'm hoping for around 4-5 months considering the car is kept outside but we'll see!

I used it and it’s seems to be about a solid 3 months of good beading on my daily driver stored outside in the spring /summer. I did recently take a trip in the mountains a little over 500+ miles and normally my cars front end is absolutely plaster with bugs. But this time I got back and it was almost perfectly clean. I was shocked.I normally wax my car fairly often so I can’t comment on the extreme durability claims as I will have waxed my car again before 6-12 months.

Hi, I didn’t get anywhere near 12months with this, but certainly 3-4months. I found it a bit hard in the tub but it goes on well even when you don’t think much is on the applicator. I didn’t do full decon like you did but went with real life application. It looks good and I like it but I’ll stick to spray on shinee wax instead. Good work keep it up.

@gwng8791 Год назад

when you say realife, do you mean no clay bar or polish/buffing?

@lookingfreshdetails3150 2 года назад

I fully decontaminated a vw Polo a few weeks ago. Stripping all previous protection and applying 2 coats of this turtlewax ceramic graphene wax. The finished results was outstanding concerning its a black car. This polo is an un garaged car and has had some long motorway miles since the application. It's in a sorry old state tbh. I've found the traffic film & grime has stuck to the protection like s**t to a blanket and we all know what our road salt is like. So it's going to be interesting to see its durability vs british winter conditions after only a few weeks and no toppers in between. Great video I've subscribed & liked 👍

@AutoCareHQ 2 года назад

@AntEloftheHouseofEl 2 года назад

Another good video! Thanks Heather. I considered buying this when it came out as the 75th anniversary edition, but was put off by some really mixed reviews if I'm honest. That and the fact that, if I'm using a wax, I tend to prefer applying it using my DA. Very curious to see what the durability turns out like.

@AutoCareHQ 2 года назад

Thank you! I've seen some mixed things as well about the durability so I'm intrigued to see how long it lasts on this car, and if there's a big difference between the polished panels and the ones which were just washed and panel wiped!

@AntEloftheHouseofEl 2 года назад

@Auto Care HQ yeah that will DEFINITELY be very interesting to see just what effect that has. My suspicion is that it won't have a great effect overall. A full blown ceramic I can understand as it needs to properly chemically bond to the clear coat.

@markconnolly802 2 года назад

Gloss, hydrophibicity and slickness, in that order. Not bothered about durability at all, because I wash my car every week, weather permitting, and enjoy trying new lsp products. Had to wait ages for this to be back in stock and have used it once on a couple of panels before being rained off, so need to try it again to get a better idea of how good it is. Superb video as always Heather. Thanks for going to the trouble and hope you're okay.

@AutoCareHQ 2 года назад

Thanks Mark! I’m the same with durability not being a massive priority for products I use on my car. The only time I prioritise it more is on other people’s cars really where I know they’ll not get washed for months!

@thetechlibrarian Год назад

I do believe the durability is great except in extreme heat. I was getting 3+ months in the spring/summer up to around 85/90 degrees. Then took a trip for 10 days somewhere that was extremely hot 104+ degrees with salt air and that really seemed to kill the wax quick. Of course I’m sure that extreme is hard on any product.I came back from my trip and when I washed my car it was still beading but I could definitely see the reduction after such a short time. It was beading less after 10 days than it did after a month back home.

Thanks Paul! Nope you'll be fine to apply it without decontaminating but ideally the old wax would need removing first. I normally use Garage Therapy Zero Decon shampoo to kill off old protection before applying anything new. Not totally essentially if you don't mind reapplying it more often but it definitely helps with durability!

This and Pinnacle Souveran are my favorite paste waxes. The Turtle Wax costs me $27, where the Pinnacle costs $80. I don't go through a full process when I use them. My car is ceramic coated, so I give the car a good wash, chemical decon, then apply with an orbital polisher.

Seems perplexing to me to use a paste wax on a ceramic-coated car. It's probably more effective (and less costly) to use a brand-specific topper in spray form, just spray and wipe off or use as a drying aid...but not a wax!
