Just picked up some CMX three days ago. Waited the 24 hours and reapplied a second coat, at 48 hours stacked a third coat, and the results were very good. Highly recommend CMX and stacking after 24 hours.
Did you store the car in a controlled environment, or leave it parked in the open, or drive it between coats? My car needs a full polish and wax and was curious how these conditions could affect multiple applications while on a tight budget of time. (Obviously driving between coats is far less than ideal: any expert’s experience, opinion, and knowledge would be greatly appreciated by this DIYer who’s pressed for time.
In my opinion there is lot more to test beside water beads. I think you should test the shine, finish, surface hardness, thickness of layer, lasting, versatility of various surfaces, dirt attraction against static charge etc.
Been happy with both CMX and TW Ceramic. I find CMX has better fresh water beading but doesnt hold up like TW. Currently using TW as it seems to go strong for a few months.
@@TheMercadoChannel yeah up here in Canada I was getting like 2-3 months with TW. Mothers although better out of the gate would give me 1-2 months. Ive since switched to Gyeon Q2 Wax. I get the gloss and water beading for easily 2-3 months.
I had applied Megs HCW a month back - the foundation coat of HCW in wet-wipe and buff mode. My car spent a whole day under the rain lately otherwise there's shaded parking for my car. Yesterday washed my car with ph-neutral shampoo and then applied HCW in spray and rinse mode over the wet car. The surface was repelling water like a lotus leaf after first wash. I had initially wished for the TW but purchased HCW because it was cheaper than TW.
I used to have an extremely clean car in 2005. I washed and waxed it all the time...even the air vents were cleaned out with q tips lol. Anyway, I lost that car and kinda got out of the car paint polish hobby. The other day I decided to detail my wife's car, and used mothers cmx. Holy crap...the diference between carnuba and this stuff is amazing...the future is here!!!
I love Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray Coating! I apply 3 coats in the spring, 3 coats in the summer, and 3 coats in the fall. Super easy to apply and lasts all year long throughout the winter months! Walmart always has the best price.
@@BillGockeler It does for me. Water beading and the way snow and ice just slides off the car is nice. Plus I wash my car at least once a month in the winter.
@LambSlainAtCalvary I'm in Canada too. I tried Shine Armor Graphene Ceramix spray, but it's the Turtle Wax Ceramic hybrid is the best. Still shiny after a year and during winter.
@officialbusaboi4086 how r u? Actually I did my jeep first. Figured it gets the dirtiest an abused the most. I took. A chance and bought the gas monkey detail package. Used that graphin spray. Have to say it's preforming really well so far. So camaro is next. Let you know how that goes
I use all these. Meguairs can streak easier but is more hydrophobic and can be applied wet. slightly. The turtle hybrid spray is easiest and actually my favourtie. The cmx is alongside autoglym is water i swear…cmx stinks and autoglym smells citrus but super weak. Turtle paste smells best with better gloss. Also comes with good pad. Meguairs wet wax the old school stuff is hard to beat for gloss though. Clay n polish is a bit of a waste for a spray ceramic… may aswell use a proper ceramic. Then use spray ceramic per wash after. Depends how many cars u got
Definitely a bad chemical odor to the ceramic spray wax. It will get in your hair and if wind blows the wrong way or its a breeze in your nostrils. The wax itself works great, really makes car shine and hydrophobic more than any spray wax I have tried. I drove through heavy rain on open highway an when it stopped raining after about 40 miles and I stopped for gas the car was dried off and looked shiny still and didnt have any of that road dirt on it that you would usually expect after driving in rain. This definitely works, its just that it has an amonia-like chemical smell that stays in your nostrils and hair even after you shower , even if just a small amount of mist happens to blow your way. Definitely wear nitrile gloves when applying. I would like to kno wthe toxicity of this product if inhaled in small amounts (mist).
@@justinchatlani6297 The Turtle Wax. Besides the smell it actually beads more and seems to last lnger than the others I have used. Its mainly the smell, just make sure you are standing where the wind isnt going to blow the mist toward you.
The hcw seems most hydrophobic,. Being able to apply both wet and dry would suit me too,. The turtle Wax has rep for sometime streaking... I might buy hcw next
What did you protect those unprotected strips with ?? 😊Just found your channel looking up mhw. You are very clear and precise. Great tip on using damp applicator on the Megs hybrid. Been waiting nine months for my new car (and still counting)and I am practicing detailing on my 20 year old daily driver. Discovered and love Glarts cockpit cleaner and Brake buster. Looking forward to the updates. Just subscribed from England.
Agree … have tried all the major brands & really like Griot’s; even more than Chemical Guys. The 3 in 1 product is easy to apply with no streaking & produces great results.
I just bought a 90000.00 dodge challenger thar got prep washed with armor all wash an wax the car is black I don't have a buffer or experience with one how should I proceed to use mothers ceramic
If you really want to see how protective they are why dont you use 100 grit sandpaper? Seriously I use these and try others all the time. My wife truck is 4 years old and it looks better than it did new. Point is keep it clean and put something on it.
If they are similar in price, most likely the ingredients and results will be the same. All three brands probably buy the solution from the same company.
All three of these will last a few months at the most on a daily driver that stays outside all the time. It doesn’t matter which one you choose, I’d reapply every 3 months
The environment does not bombard any car/paintwork with clean water. The contaminants are often dirty and even oily in nature, which causes staining if not washed often. Hence, if you live up in the hills in Oregon, its very different vs the Ukraine, the Phillipines, Thailand, Mexico etc, where staining is a huge issue. Therefore, shooting clean water onto a clean treated surface is only pertinent to show its CLEAN water repellency behaviour…and nothing else. When it drizzles or rains, where tiny DIRTY droplets fall with hardly any force, there’ll be millions of dirty oily beads on your paintwork. Whats important is actually grime-repellency and resistance to stains because those 2 are the main reasons that compel owners to wash their cars. In the above aspect, only one of the above 3 products have a clear advantage (retaining less grime, creating less stains, easier to wash away the accumulated grime)
@@trsskater …and this is also one critical area where old-school, highly water repellent Japanese paste waxes totally lose out because while they exhibit excellent durability and insane levels of beading and CLEAN WATER repellency (such as the UK and American over-hyped Fusso Coat which i hv been using since the early 90s), such products generally retain more grime, making the treated paintwork look dirty much sooner (vs a coated paintwork or bare paintwork) and compelling the owner to wanna wash the car more regularly. With the above Turtlewax’s Hybrid Ceramic spray, I did not experienced such irritating issues on the hood of my white car. And thats an absolutely brilliant “feature” to have.
Buenas, no me quedo claro, estoy entre los 3 y no se cual comprar, no entiendo inglés justamente aquí en mi país esta el Mother que por cierto muy caro, pero cumple la función? O cual es el que mejor funciona? , Saludos
Las 3 funcionan bien, pero Turtle Wax según lo que he leído y en comentarios en este canal es la que más duración tiene. CMX no dura tanto y Meguiar's es algo tedioso de aplicar.
I have noticed that in the last 15 years there is a new, better, life changing car wax/polish/shine product every three weeks. Or at least a new bottle and name.
Hi, i have washed the car then after dry i applied the Meguiars ultimate compound and then i applied the meguiars ultimate polish. Now my question is.. Can i applied this ceramic wax spray over this polish as a protection? If yes then the procedure will remain same as in your video?
In a torcher test turtle wax lasts the longest. But it still gets the lowest ratings for longevity. He is giving updates on the coatings so I am curious to see why turtle wax get rated so low when it lasts the longest in tests.
Hi can anyone advise if the towels used to apply the coating and the towels to buff can be washed and reused or would they need to be demoted to wheels/garbage?
Mal aplicado, lo mejor hubiera sido un panel por producto, ya que como tu lo hiciste se mezclan los productos al activarse con el chorro de agua a presión. Pongo en primer lugar al turtle wax
Great video - thanks. Maybe you mentioned and I didn't hear it. Please don't forget that Turtle Wax Ceramic spray coating has a 24h CURE TIME !!! This is from the Turtle Wax: "24 hour cure time with Ceramic Spray Coating"
I’d have to pick Mothers because that’s what my family has always used. They all look pretty even though. How long does it last? I’ll apply it every day I love shining up the truck.
Ceramic coatings only come in glass bottles because of the toxicity. These products are hydrophobic wax don’t be fooled by wording on product 2 totally different products
