TURTLE WAX CERAMIC SPRAY COATING VS TURTLE WAX SEAL N SHINE - FULL 48 HOUR CURE TIME 

Both seal n shine and ceramic coating were fully cured for over 48 hours, with the exception of the far right side of the panel where stated instant sure. Will you be picking up the new hybrid solutions ceramic spray coating?

Thank you for the very detailed test of the 2 products, and the explanation that you cant get from just watching. Very helpful!

Great video! Something to note - the Seal n Shine technically had two coats per its directions, whereas the Ceramic version would need a coat, 24 hr cure time, then another coat, then another 24 hrs to have the same number of applications. It could be argued that this test was two coats of Seal n Shine vs one of Ceramic. There are pros and cons to that, I guess.

Thanks Jimbo I think both products looks amazing! I’ve protected my car with seal n shine and top with ice spray wax can’t wait to see if it will resist to our long winter with salty roads! Great videos as usual great job!

Great video as usual Jimbo. We all really appreciate you testing out these products. I don’t seem to have any streaking issues with the Seal and shine but I do have white cars. It seems to me at this juncture it’s not really worth throwing my seal and shine out. Again thanks for the great reviews.

Turtle Wax said that Ceramic Spray Coating sees it's best durability when you apply 2 coats, 24 hours apart, with another 24 hours of cure (no soap) after that. I would like to see that tested against Seal N shine, with Both being given the 24 hour re-coat and another 24 hour cure.

Extremely well done!!! It looked to me like Seal and Shine edged it out at the end but like you and others have commented, they were both so close that it will probably come down to preference based on the pros and cons of each product. Also from a "real world conditions" standpoint the Ceramic Spray when applied with a second coat after the initial 24hr cure time, is SUPPOSED to have more long term durability. Of course time will tell... Aside from that I'm going to definitely pick some up and test it out on my own vehicles.

I've never experienced streaking with seal and shine, but never used in direct sunlight. Great stuff

Thanks Jimbo, Seal and Shine for me all day long. I use it on my black car and it works great. I don’t think the new stuff is any better and plus u have to wait 24 hours for cure time. Seal and Shine Wins !

I'm sold! Great product review! It's definitely "TURTLE WAX CERAMIC" for me! Thanks!

Great video. As a new car owner for the first time in over 15 years, it seems technology has changed a lot. from your video, I'm leaning towards the ceramic coating for ease of use. The snippet about your dad sold me. Forgive me for being nitpicky but I would have liked the exactly cured products placed on the exact opposite quarters of the hood. ie, far left, far right. This way the contours match. Thanks for info and review

That was fun to watch man! Man they are so close...I almost think the seal and shine is a taaaaad, dare I say stronger!? So tough to call on this one. Can't wait to get my own tests going!!

I just take my time using seal and shine until my 3 bottles gone then hopefully ceramic spray get cheaper with the price I will start buying them for my future use.

Thank you so much for these tests!! Very informative and well done!

Terrific video. Very clear and complete demonstration/explanation. Lighting, audio and video are right on! Great video, Jimbo. Keep it up!!! I just used Ceramic on My Sister’s 2015 Honda Pilot that’s black. I had some streaks. No problem, a damp microfiber took care of that. It took ten minutes or so to complete it. I like it very much. I’ve used it as a topper to a few ceramic coated vehicles. It looks great and lasts a while! Two thumbs up.

I bought one bottle of seal and shine when it came out. Used it and was very impressed and bought 5 more bottles for $5 each from amazon couple of months ago. Told my coworkers and few of them bought bottle each. Very good product and easy to use and very wallet friendly. Win win

Jimbo, at first look I have to congratulate you on the lighting you used to record this video. You & the background are no longer in the dark! 👍👍👍. Video looks amazingly high resolution. 🏆🏆🏆

I’ve finally tried both, I prefer the Seal N Shine over the Cermaic. I felt the same it just felt better going on. Great Video!

Nice review! POV camera = 5/5 Voice over information on those slow motion parts = 5/5 (nice to see in slow mo what you do and learn how the product reacts) Great choice of products Thanks's!

Great video. I would say the original Seal and Shine product would still be a "best choice" as a cost effective finish to a simple detailing. The ceramic product appears to work almost as well and might be a best choice for a black car. Keep up the good work.

I had preordered a bottle of the ceramic after I was so impressed over the past 4 months or so with the Seal and Shine. I canceled the preorder after seeing three tests like yours that didn’t show an improvement and even appeared that the ceramic wasn’t as durable. I’ll stick with the Seal and Shine for my quick, easy, inexpensive paint protection.

I have just tried the ceramic and I love it, beats the heck out of paste

I have used both TW products and very pleased with both of them. Seal and Shine came out before the ceramic coating and I was very pleased with how it worked on my truck. Granted the scent of Seal and Shine was not the best, reminded me of a hair product but it worked very well. Then I tried the ceramic spray coating and I kind of liked it better for the ease of application and the shine it left. In fact, I did a second coating the next day and I was blown away by the shine that it leaves on my truck. It really catches my eye when I go into the garage and look at my truck. I swear its glossier and has a wet look that lasts longer than I expect. Hands down for me, ceramic coating spray is the better of the two. Durability is a toss up between the two, they are both good, maybe it comes down to price of each product.

Great video. I just picked up some seal n shine and look forward to using it. Thanks for sharing.

I have been using ceramic coating for over a year now and I just love it as it gives ( for me) that silky feel for a longer time.

Jimbo, heres an idea what if you mixed like 5 or 6 sio2 ceramic sprays together in one bottle and do a test on that?

Hello thank you for your comments and work I have used turtle ceramic spray coating twice and then I went over the top with seal and shine very impressed with the results thank you from sussie fan cheers

how about layer it? For ex puting two layers od ceramic coating with cure time as needed, and then on top of that seal n shine?

I've gone for the seal n shine although it's called just sealant here in the UK. In my opinion it seemed to sheet the quickest during your test. 👍 good test thanks for uploading, time to give a try myself.

Seal and Shine is what i put on my car every 2 months and it is awesome!

Seal and Sine is great stuff and that's what I had been using however I've since switched over to the new hybrid line simply because there are a number of products to compliment the ceramic spray such as the wash, the detailer and the wet wax. I just like the idea of having a line of products in the same family that work well together. Still a big fan of Seal and Shine though.....it's all good stuff and you can't go wrong with any of it. Oh, and yes, I do like the smell of the hybrid solution line.

I’ve used both and I enjoy the better smelling ceramic . And because of your videos , I’ve began to use turtle wax products again . I’ve been a chemical guys and Adams fan boy for years . But I’m tired of paying shipping when I can go straight to the auto parts store and buy . Thank you for all your detailing content .

After using both products extensively I can tell you one thing, the Turtle Wax Ceramic spray coating has way higher gloss and shine. And even more durability than seal & shine. Or at least the same. The self-cleaning properties in the Ceramic spray coating keep the vehicle much cleaner than the seal & shine when it's raining or snowing.

Thank God someone did it. Pan The Organizer didn't show us the hybrid after a cure. Just immediately started the torture test. Thanks for this video. Waiting on my pre-order from Amazon

Seal n Shine for the Win!!!

Excellent test! Great all the way! Thanks 😀🤩🤗❤👍

Excellent comparison video. My only question is about when to properly apply the ceramic wax. Is it better to apply it immediately after the final polish, or are there any advantages to applying it in addition to the wax application stage that most exterior detailing steps already include?

I preordered on amazon 🤗🤗🤗

Here’s my recent review. I purchased this last year in June while at the auto parts store getting products to do a last minute detail on my mustang before autocross and car show on father’s day weekend. I did not properly apply because I was in a rush and I can tell you that wash was the last time I washed it until last week when it was time to bring it back out. Car sat in the elements the entire time as well as a few drives during the winter when the roads were clear enough. As I was washing the car I was confused as to why the water was beading so much and I had completely spaced that I used this hybrid ceramic spray that day last June. Bought the product as an “eh why not” and now it’s all I’ll ever use. Quick and is as well as offers great protection especially if properly applied. 10/10 - weekend warrior detailer

Could not pick it up yet, but I preordered 2 bottles of the Hybrid solutions! Excited!!!

I’ve used Turtle Wax Express Shine for a couple years. It is streak prone on hot panels. I’d love to see how it stacks up against these two products.

Seal n shine us the best I've used so far. Great vid

You know I sit thought your videos to learn what we're all are after. My truck, well, it's a P.O.S. and I don't use anything really on it. BUT when I do I know what results I'll have and what products are worth the time and value😂

Any tips to avoid the streaks - - - I had some streaking on a red SUV. Thanks - Great videos!

I love Seal n shin I use it as a drying aid every 2-2/1/2 weeks after a wash for my 2018 Sierra & my wife’s - 2020 Wrangler just make sure you have a damp microfiber to follow works on WHEELS GLASS TRIMS Etc. the gloss level is excellent

Love your videos, just wondering if you've done a video for the "Ultimate" product, I.e. which product lasts the longest, not worrying about application but just the product that is basically apply and forget about for a while?

I’m glad I got 3 bottles seal and shine because I don’t want to pay double or triple money just to getting the new look of the bottle label.

Love Seal and Shine, but already had pre-ordered the ceramic spray as well. The streaking sucks, but I found rotating constant dry towels helped some. I found that if I pushed to finish a panel, and there was a buildup already, it streaked more than when I just kept grabbing dry ones.

I would suggest Seal&Shine , The Last Coat2 and TW ceramic spray. That would be a good battle to see.😎

Just got a bottle of the Ceramic Spray Coating! I am VERY eager to see how it compares to their now legendary ICE Seal & Shine that I've been using for a while...

I understand about the fragrance thing. I can't use Megs D166 because of the sour apple scent.

What brand of wheel acid are you using to remove water spots on your glass?

I think you might have saved Paaaaaaaaan the 24 hour re-upload 😂😂. Great content as per usual 😊

Fantastic video Jimbo! Excellent thoroughness! Love all your videos! Ignore the idiots! You are doing phenomenal work! Keep it up my friend!

What product would be an equivalent to seal n shine in terms of price and chemical resistance but sheets water instead of beading water? The ceramic seemed to bead a good bit in the beginning.

Well here's my $. 02 from a light color car owner... I have 2 Mineral White Bimmers and have very little streaking that quite honestly would be invisible to most. So I consider "streaking" a non issue. The smell isn't fruity but it ain't funky either. ICE Seal n Shine is simply the Best performance value in car detailing, period! I did pre-order 2 products from their new line just to try/compare. 👍🏽 Great job as usual.

Great review, looks like I'll be sticking with the Seal N' Shine. For future reference, a single camera angle was better. Constantly switching between the tripod, and handheld, and the head cam was kind of jarring.

I bought seal n shine because of your videos. I do see the streaking on my sterling gray car. I like that it protects. I will have to try the ceramic product. I have so much seal n shine it will prolly last into next year. Thanks for the detail advise and product tests.

Now THIS is a proper comparison and torture test! I wish you had let BSD "cure" for a few hours before hitting it the way you did on the other video too! 😉

Great work on this video! Thank you!

I can't stop applying Seal N Shine on my car, did the entire car after paint correction and liked the results. Now after every wash I'll re-apply it to a few panels, maybe the roof, hood, trunk lid, doors, bumpers, etc. Seems to layer well, hides deep scratches well to where you have to really look for them up close, correcting those scratches are beyond my abilities and comfort level.

Regarding the spray wax, can you do the same regimen as with meguiars ceramic hybrid spray? Spray on wet surface and then rinse off with water?

I bought all of the new turtle wax new product cant wait to use them

great video and comparison video again jimbo

I have Ceramic Pro 9H on my entire car and Xpel Ultimate on the front. They recommend Ceramic Pro Sport once a year but I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to use the TW Ceramic Spray for each maintenance wash??

Thank you for this comparison.

thanks for a very scientific test. Streaking is a pain....who needs it. I will go with the Ceramic which I will use instead of TW Carnauba paste wax. Keep up the good work.

New ceramic coating for me, good prep and cure time equal longer protection.

I know the best way to apply seal and shine/ceramic is after a clay and polish, but what about for maintenance washes? Is it best to reapply the sns/ceramic or just use a spray wax?

Every product works well when you apply but what about longevity, what I care about is how long will the two protect me before I need to reapply?

love the new set up and quality of the video!

Hey I would like to know if seal and shine performs better than autoglym aqua wax and extra gloss protection? I would change if its better. I like how easy it is able to apply.

Thanks for making a good test !! :-)

I got Turtle wax hybrid ceramic spray coating and applied to my car per direction on the bottle but had a problem of smearing and haze after buffing. Can you advise me what to do to correct this issue?

Seal 'n Shine is still my favourite🤜💪 Great product 👍

hello Jimbo nice video, can you please let me know what kind of nozzle you are using in this video? looks like good spray for car rinse, thank you!

Does the sealant shine protect the paint from uv rays properly or there’s a better product for that?

Im going to use both, the seal n shine is better in my opinion and the whole ice line up but for some customers i cant bring the car inside or shaded anywhere and thats where hybrids will be better so i think ice line will be for indoor and hybrid for out doors

Hello, enjoyed your video a lot. Would you need to throw the towels away after one use because the ceramic spray will crystallize on them and cause scratching the next time they're used? Thanks.

Does this hybrid protect paint on cars or do you still need to wax?

Do you have a video or product (maybe its the product in this video) you would recommend for me to use on my 93 F150 Lightning that im about to get back from being re-painted?

ive used both and you can layer the procedure with seal and shine too

Wow man, the quality of your videos has really improved. I'd love to see a Cheap vs. Expensive: Turtle Wax Seal n Shine vs. GTechniq C2v3. I use C2v3 all the time and like it, but it is expensive and I often wonder if SnS would be just as good.

After using Seal N Shine and other coatings dried on dirt over time seems to be a better torture test than a same day chemical test.

Really cool video. Thanks for the content!

I never have had any streaking using Seal & Shine, I love how it protects & shine's. For me, I'll stick with an already winner product.

Hi Jimbo have a question would it be okay to do the butter wet wax first on my car followed by the Turtle Wax shine-n-seal ?

Man this is a tough one but i will say i have a decent stock of S&S and it being a bit more elbow grease to keep the streaks away isn’t an issue for me because when using one towel for application and one for buffing its not that big of a deal, will still be picking up the ceramic coating for some certain areas I’d like to test, great comparison Jimbo Edit: I’d like to emphasize again the fact even turtle wax mentioned on their instagram that if someone just wants a chemical resistant beast that S&S is the go to but the ceramic coating caters to those who just dont wanna put in thr additional elbow grease for buffing off the S&S. Love the fact how they are transparent and arent just trying to upsell

Can I apply TW Ice spray wax on top of TW ceramic coating, right after completing the car with the TW ceramic coating. Or would I have to wait 24 hours as well?

Can an already ceramic coated paint be sprayed with seal and shine to provide more protection? Or will that ruin or not even work with Ceramic coatings?(Not Sprays)

The problem of those companies are they jacked up the price when we consumers start put our trust in their products. Thank God that we have guy like Jimbo and Pan can show us the difference so we don’t break our wallet$

Gloss readings will be my deciding factor.

Seal n shine wins. Topped it off with ice spray wax and its freaking awesome.

Hey , great videos thanks for that, quick question , I was wondering about a good tire shine and one that last, any ideas?

Taking into account the price and the performance, Seal 'n' Shine is a fantastic product still.

So, are you supposed to use a cleaner to strip old wax and sealant before reapplying new? Also, does ceramic protect from UV as well?

I live in Arizona and I have not been disappointed by seal n shine. And the temp was not that bad during the demo turtle wax had

Video starts at 2:30 recommend 1.5x

Jimbo...what nozzle for the water hose do you use? My small pressure washer has a very small opening and does not do well to put the water down. The nozzle I have on my hose doesn’t seem to have the ability to force water like the nozzle you use. And for what it’s worth, based on both your review and Pan’s, I think I will also stay with Seal n Shine for the majority of cars I do (shy of a commercial ceramic like cq if a customer wants to go that route).

I think the hard tropical sun is the REAL test of durability...far more than the water beading or sheeting. But I like what you're doing; it's valuable too!
