Default Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray

I was reading many reviews of Hybrid Ceramic sprays and came across the new Turtle Wax spray and it had great reviews. I needed to get a coat of something on the new car so figured I would give it a try. I was very pleased with the easy of installation and the intense shine the product provided. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a Hybrid Ceramic Spray.

Yeah, it is a decent product. In this extensive tests it lasted 180 days. However there are other ones that last longer:

I tried this product and found it difficult to remove once applied. Too many other good waxes and polishes out there that are easy on and easy off... I use Meguiar's show car wax. Doesn't last 6 months but close...

I have the same question with any product that has the word "ceramic." I lack experience with the ceramic products, but I've always read that the serious ones at least are very fussy if misapplied.

At my level of incompetence, I feel safer clinging to my NuFinish, confident that at least I can't make things worse. Am I just paranoid?

There are different types of ceramic products. The spray product likes the ones in the video is much more user friendly and forgiving. As long as you follow the instructions closely it is hard to screw up. The down side is it doesn't last as long. I use Turtle Wax Seal N Shine as a topper so it acts as a sacrificial layer on top of my ceramic coat.

I've used it and it beads water nicely. Spray on and wipe off. It's probably not really ceramic though or it would clog the sprayer.

I used it the last time I waxed our RX. Worked very well for me. Maguires might be just a little easier to apply though. Keep in mind, you have to apply 2 coats about 24 hours apart to get the claimed 6 months of protection.

Wow the ES in GW looks amazing. This is my "welcome to 7th gen moment"

Maybe in 5 years I'll upgrade from my 09

Ah got it. I thought the pic was ultrasonic blue. Didn't know the ES came in that color.

Based on the build portal, that must be USB since GW doesn't seem to be an option as I suspected.

The blue looks oversaturated. Is it really that extreme?

Apparently it's only for the IS although it's the same color...

Definitely available on the RX and maybe the NX but GW and USB are totally different colors.
