I have used many different brands of polish, this is by far the best one I’ve found so far. It leaves a very smooth surface and maintains the shine. It keeps the shine for about three weeks before needing a top up.
First time in years I’ve bought turtle wax products, I generally use another well known make, happy with the quality, just go easy on the spray not too much as it smears badly, good job!
It’s so quick to use that I just give it a quick top up each month. One tip would be to not use too much. I do two sprays for the roof and don’t spray too close. You want it to mist onto the body and then rub it with a microfibre cloth.
I’m still on my first bottle, it lasts ages.
Easy to apply, goes on well but…and here’s the thing, no where near as long lasting as a proper cermaic coating. I was kinda hopeful it would be better than it is but it doesn’t last very long at all so I’m a little disapointed but not put out by it either.
I used the tiniest amount and, even with trying to spray the smallest amount possible, it can give you more than more than you need for smaller panels
I would do a panel section at a time (eg back door, then front door) and be prepared to spend 2-3 minutes on each panel at at time. It’s also important that your car is clean before applying this. Whilst it does do some cleaning on application it will also mix slightly with whatever is already on the surface of the car so it’s also best to make sure your car is completely dry or you have buffed other products off sufficiently before applying this. I applied it a week ago and can already see the beading on my car when it’s raining one week later.
I honestly think it’s going to last a year even with weekly applications as that’s how little I needed to use to avoid excess residue.
Whilst it says it’s suitable for everything, I found it particularly troublesome to get a nice finish on windows and found it was better to start with a new cloth and spray the tiniest amount on that cloth. For that it loses just more than half a star which takes it down to 4 stars. It was a bit of a pain trying to get rid of smears which are very revealing on glass surfaces. Having said that I’ve not used anything better for the price and I’ll likely be buying this again.
I had heard a lot of negative and positive reports on this type of quick drying short term ceramic impregnated polish but thought even though it is relatively expensive I would give it a try. I watched a lot of YouTube videos and spent a lot of time preparing the paintwork before as in the positive reviews. It was a lot easier to apply than the negative reviews suggested as long as you keep a damp micro fibre handy to deal with the streaks and the result is quite impressive. Now I don’t expect it to last as long as the the original coating but it definitely has been a lot easier to clean as the dirt just washes off with a hose like the original coating. In fact when I got my new company van recently I immediately gave that a coating before the paintwork had a chance to get dirty. I expect I will have to do it again to both vehicles next year but it should get me through the winter and I have plenty left as you don’t use a lot. So although it is relatively expensive in the first place it is a bargain in the long run and even though it takes a lot of preparation I would definitely recommend it.
