Clay bar and Turtle Wax graphene flex wax results

[OleFordGuy]

Haven't had a chance to use it yet but I've purchased the Turtle Wax Graphene Ceramic paste wax and all of their other Hybrid Graphene Ceramic spray products. Also have all the 303 spray products. I will give their Trim Restorer a try. I will say I really like Adam's VRT (Vinyl/Rubber/Trim) Dressing. IMO it's pretty awesome. It's low gloss and on tires it doesn't sling off on the side of your vehicle (well i guess it could if you just globed way too much on an left it), highly recommended it

First time working with a clay bar and this type of finish. Watched a lot of Youtube videos and was a bit intimidated, but it wasn’t bad. I code the Turtle Wax product because of good reviews and ease of use/beginner friendly-ness. I think it looks great!

Excellent Work

Looks fantastic. Area 51 is such a great color to work with. Looks good whether it's dirty or clean. Back in August, I had my Maverick ceramic coated and all I have to do is wash and maintain it with spray detailer. No more waxing.

How did u like the coating?

It is great to see people chatting about all kinds of paint protection.
There is SO much Information that gets conflated..detailing is the most misunderstood art probably ever.

The words polishing waxing coating all get lumped in together.

I'll say this much a TRUE ceramic coating will 99 percent of the time come in a glass bottle.
All the turtle wax and "ceramic sprays" are extremely diluted SI02 compounds that get added to water fragrance etc

A true ceramic has two components the ceramic si02(or graphene) essentially the sacrificial layer and the solvent carrier used to keep it in solution.

All the other ceramic sprays in the world have 1 eight of the longevity and true hardness of REAL ceramics

9H or 10H whereas typical.clear ranges from 2.5 to about 3.5

I was curious to.see who did your coating!

Great choice!

I vote no to any car wash that isn't my hands 3 buckets w grit guards...soft water..plenty of microfiber and wool.mitts

Also a foaming Canon.

The rules of the game are.
The less you touch your car the better...
Start washing top and work down.
Start with wheels and fender liners
Use strong water pressure to remove a lot of grime.
Karate kid circles a big nono...always think of your vehicle as of in a wind tunnel and wipe in straight angles as in direction of windflow.
Last but not least no matter what wax ceramic or paint sealant you are going to.use you MUST wash..claybar and polishing to create a glass love surface

Bc prep is 95 percent of results.
Some examples

But SAY NO TO CAR WASHES.

Try TW ceramic graphene paste wax on a properly prepped and polished ride. Top it in a week with TW graphene to the max. Let us know how you feel in 6 months. I used to use the bottle and gave it up. Not worth the time and money. I’ve been using TW for 2 years now.
Edit. Car washes 2 times a week over the winter with brush wash and zero swirls all of last winter!

Guess one can't argue seeing the results of your work. I had to put on sunglasses to view your pics. Car show quality.

I've been owning vehicles for 40 years, but I'm a newbie when it comes to the ceramic and clay stuff. I wanted to start with something that was DIY freindly fully realizing that it wouldn't be as good as a true ceramic.
