'HS Ceramic'
They are near the bottom as you scroll down.
Cheers. I am looking for wax. My Autoglym wax is dried out in the container.
Perfect timing. I too still have a few Meguiars bottles but the new ceramic has proven to be more time saving & great result comparing to the old Carnauba tech.
$30 for hybrid ceramic vs $20 for seal n shine. That's a big price jump
It's different products altogether. Seal n shine is carnauba as opposed to ceramic.
So if I were to do a full maintenance job on the car would it be:
- Wash and dry
- Clay bar
- Turtle Wax HS Ceramic Polish & Wax - to remove the minor swirls etc
- Turtle Wax HS Ceramic Wax - for the 6months ish coverage
- Turtle Wax HS Ceramic Wet Wax - for the finishing and more regular wash maintenance
or is step 4&5 achieved in 1 product (either 4 or 5)
Wouldn't bother with step 3 unless if you're using a machine. 4 and 5 combined is also easier using something like the Seal n Shine or ceramic spray.
could we skip step 3 and 4 by directly going with step 5 ? Or we have to go through step 1,2, and 4 ?
I was asking about 3 more for a maintenance job that you would do 1-2 times a year, it's not essential. 4 is the product that apparently people are raving about. 5 from description gives the gloss/shine wet look.
I plan to just do 1,2 and 4, and then 1,1,1… for 6 months.
No.4. Says spray and wipe. However, if done with a polisher am I going to save arm pain and time or is this likely to cause some catastrophic outcome?
Yeah I've got a machine, was gonna do that. Cheers.
If you are gunna polish, best to get a machine. The claying + polishing takes hours to do even with a polisher. You can certainly do it by hand, but that shit will take ages and you won't be able to remove scratches as well.
Personally, I wouldn't bother buying the product on your 5th step, is it supposed to be just another wax that works when the car is wet? Regardless, I certainly wouldn't use one after the other
Don't do 3 after 4, the product is a "polish & wax", so you would be waxing it again.
You only need to polish once every 1-2 years (at least that's what I do). In between that, wash dry and apply wax
Wet wax is a drying aid.
Hahaha this makes a lot of sense, thanks!
I read the wet wax as a "wet like finish" as opposed to a "wet application wax". I.e. I'd have been triple waxing like a buffoon had I not asked this question!
Wet Wax is applied as you dry as opposed to normal dry and then apply wax and wipe off process. It saves a bit of time. Although I would assume you can use wet wax when the car is dry.
And if I don't have time to do different steps, then polish & wax is great, but for best polishing job, I'd stick with polish only product.
They're not the hybrid "acrylic ceramic" that receives rave reviews from detailers from the US. AFAIK, only the hybrid ceramic range is available in the AU market, with near-future plans to bring the new hybrid acrylic ceramic range into AU. Expect the price to be much higher than the US (as always).
so no deal then ?
I don't see the hybrid ceramics type from Turtle Wax. How do I see it ?
