Hi I just recently started watching, and subscribing to your Channel. I'm fairly new to properly taking care of my vehicle and had a few questions. I don't know if they're outlined in another video or not, but as a new car care enthusiastic what is the importance of the water beading? In my uneducated opinion the beating looks poorer than the other two products that seemed to drive the water off of the vehicle so that it does not cause additional UV damage from sitting water. If you have a video that explains what to look for and why certain things are damaging to a vehicle I would be interested to watch that as well.
I watched this while walking through Walmart with the meguiars ceramic- quickly went back and picked up the turtle wax seal and shine LOL- thanks for the review!
It doesn't last as long, because I've tried it. And he did it wrong because meguire needs initial application and then second application with rinse. I think Mother's CMX needs that too. From experience, CMX lasts the longest. Meguires lasts about 2 months-3months. CMX about 3-4months.
I've been using The blue bottle of turtle wax ice for about 6 years. Great product. 1 thing to keep in mind if you have small imperfections in your finish. swirl marks light scratches ect. use a buffer or compound wax to remove those flaws 1st. These protects will not correct those problems.These do not chemically bond to the clear coat. Think of it as cling wrap that you'd cover leftovers with. But here your protecting the clear coat with a thin protective layer.If you come into contact with heavy brine "Road Salt"you get that white film remove it immediately even if its -20 get it washed off. It can actually leach thru this protective layer and set between this and on your clear coat. It can cause heavy damage to cars finish in a very short amount of time. Just a heads up to save some head aches...
@@therealnoodles7638 A REAL Ceramic Coating lasts 3-5 years. These are quick fixes for about 1/2 the price of a RAL Ceramic Coating. I'll pay full price and get the REAL Deal. IMHO Meguir's and Mother's simply suck. ICE is the hands down winner for cheapo Hydrophobic Coatings. I've tried all of them and went with a Real Ceramic Sealer. Guaranteed for 7 years..............If it lasts 5 I will be happy.
I used Meguiars ceramic wax and my car beaded up for over two months. I also sprayed it on and rinsed it off and not wiped it off like he did. I stand by the product. It’s awesome.
Turtle Wax sure has come a long way since the old days. Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine is sure a clear winner in this comparison. Definitely worth going out and getting some. Great video, Pan!
Thanks! I appreciate it! And yes I agree, the Turtle Wax ICE line seems legit. I'll have to test more of their products. We're far from the cheapo "Hard Shell Finish" green tub of paste wax they had decades ago. :)
Pan TheOrganizer lol at the hard shell finish! I kinda remembered that they also used that tag even back in the day. 😂 But on this test, oh yeah, it’s really.. as Raph and boys would say, “Turtle Power!”
not for me at all, because I want the water to flow down from the car immediately and not a single drop up there, but this promoted Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine of yours can't because the water stays on it the same as on a normal unprotected car.
I have been using the full line of Turtle Wax ‘Ice’ products since shortly after they hit the shelves several years back. And, I have been very pleased with the results and long lasting level of protection they provide. I just recently purchased the Ice Seal and Shine. I used it on my two month old 2019 white Chrysler Pacifica. Not only is there a high level of shine, it’s the slickest, smoothest finish I’ve ever felt. Glad to see the experts results show that I picked the right product.
Great video Pan, very clear demonstration of Seal N Shine’s chemical resistance! SNS is a durable monster in all of the short term chemical based testing I’ve done, very surprising and also definitely a needed property to make Turtle Wax stand out against HCW and CMX which are great products themselves. Keep up the great content!
@@tommicky6296 price almost doubled! I've been seeing so many great reviews but I already have too many projects to use up. I figured for the price why not...price doubled 😣 still cheap though
@@PanTheOrganizer I actually hope this is the case. TH-cam and content like Pan's show which products are a waste of money. I hope the manufacturers are paying attention and in-turn create better products! Great work Pan! It seems to me like this is an opportunity for the smaller manufacturers to make/sell a bunch of great products and flip the market on its side. 25 years of buying random car wash/wax/detail products from my local auto parts store and realizing they're garbage is a thing of the past.
FYI if you look at the Turtle wax website under questions they say the seal and shine should be applied to the clear coat with all previous coatings removed. I use this as a base with Meguires ceramic wax as a top coat! Works great. Keep up the great videos!
@@PanTheOrganizer I use youtube quite a lot for reviews and mechanical tips for my vehicles. I have a classic 1990 BMW E34 525i whose paint i am trying to maintain as original. I had been looking into various ceramic waxes as a protectant and was looking for testing results and yours popped up at the top of the list for Mothers CMX, which I had previously heard good things about. I would love to see your review of the tutle Wax Ice (clear winner in this vid) against F11 topcoat. thanks in advance
Wow, was just on my way to buy Meguiar's Ceramic when I decided to research a little more. Watched this video and will now be buying Turtle Wax Seal and Shine. great video! Also saved me a lot of cash.
@@PanTheOrganizer I have been watching detailing videos for a few years ever since I bought my Mercedes C300. I am OCD and always need to keep my car looking fresh and clean. I have been watching your videos for quite some time now. Keep it up.!
Turtle 🐢 wax FTW. I have been using this stuff for years(ice) as a topper of my favorite waxes and sealants. I will always love their products because of cheap/easy as it should be. Great video Pan.....as always!
I’ve been using cmx since it came out. The product works exactly as advertised. Water beads well and lasts. I also follow the instructions on the bottle to the letter. No where on the bottle does it say to apply the product and then Immediately wash it off with a cleaning solution. If that was a high alkaline based cleaner the ceramic would be especially compromised. It needs some time to bond. Generally I would give ANY ceramic coating 24hours before doing a test like this. Not to mention it was cleaned off immediately after application. Although a good test I would give the ceramics 24 hours before testing.
@@PanTheOrganizer I was watching videos on car detailing, mostly Ammo NYC channel but also yours (CQuartz UK 3.0 installation recently). Today I noticed I wasn't subscribed to your channel so I fixed that :) Keep up great work.
You're behind on the times lol. The SnS and their Ice Wax are pretty much making most other products obselete. You CANNOT beat the performance you're getting out of them for the price you're paying. Price aside most other products are just failing to compete all together. I don't know what's in them but their pretty amazing
David Morales You make a great point, i’m still using Jes car power 🔒 and Colinties 845, however I might jump to this product as it sounds pretty quick to do, The whole market is changing to this type of product it seems like🤷🏼♂️
@@cobra454tim good choices. I love collinite myself. I'll still use it every now and then but it's really hard to beat the ease of use that the ice wax offers.
The comparison is wrong, because you need to do an initial application with meguires and then second application with rinse, for it to work properly. It says on the instruction bottle.
@@BAF-ch4ts $9.97 tonight at WalMart! Just got lucky I guess. Had Meguiar's in my hand, but put it back for the TurtleWax. Was looking for TW's Ceramic Wax, but couldn't find any. Maybe it was for the best!
You put a wonderful video together. Your way of demonstrating the durability of these products was awesome. Such a perfect video thank you for making it. Without watching your video I would have thought Meguiars or mothers would truly be a more Superior product. Absolutely not the truth
@@PanTheOrganizer I didn't even know about the Turtle Wax product I only heard about McGuire's and mothers ceramic spray. But you had Turtle Wax and it made me intrigued to know where Turtle Wax fell between McGuire's and mothers
I have been using Mother’s because you can stack it. So far, the CMX results have been great and long lasting but you have changed my mind on Turtle Wax. Thanks for making this video!
I ordered My Seal and Shine last week and I have to wait over a month because of back order. I purchased another one after I watched this video. Great Video Pan as I am always lost while testing these for myself. I have a trunk full of half used spray wax bottles and it seems the ones I use to like are no longer on the store shelves. This video and other videos are extremely helpful. I have two newer vehicles and I am always looking for that product the dealer uses after detailing that makes the car/SUV look like Glass. Same with a good tire shine. Thanks Pan
Pan TheOrganizer I subscribe to a crap load of Car Reviewers channels and a few weeks ago you came up as a suggestion and that’s how I learned about the 🐢 Turtle Wax Seal and Shine and I Subscribed and Liked the channel. Too bad I have to wait so damn long for the product though. I appreciate the Extra Effort you go through to show us the results Thank You
Awesome test! Thank you so much! Test 3 wheel cleaners like this. Something that doesn't require a lot of scrubbing that will get the barrels really well of a deep wheel with big brake kits.
Pan TheOrganizer for wheel cleaners try armor-all extreme I think. I used it once and loved it. Very very good stuff. They like turtlewax stepped up their game.
Hi, Pan It's really a clear win for Turtle Waxes ICE Seal N Shine. I tested it a long while ago when it first was available at my Walmart. I was quickly amazed how well it applied, shined & produced good protection. It's a very nice product.
Well done! I recently tried Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic and it didn't work at all. However, I did use a self car wash soap, and contrary to the directions, I polished in the Meguiars and then sprayed off. I REALLY want to try the Turtlewax now!
CP Reload is nothing close to the other 2 mentioned. Reload goes on very nice and looks amazing but the durability is just sad. I’ve seen many videos and tested myself and seen like 2 weeks out of it
@@PanTheOrganizer I watched you describe your home stereo about a year ago. But I have learned so much from your channel in car care! I have shared your channel with many car people.
Pan, could you do a comparison test with Turtle Wax, Ice Seal and Shine, verses The Last Coat, and The Bead Maker. That should be a great comparison test. I would like to know which one of those is the best! Pan, you might want to add the Eagle One, Wipe and Shine, to this match up as well. Works just as good as the others.
Just purchased three bottles of the Turtle wax. I’d like to see you test against comparable products from Adam’s, Car Pro’s, and Chemical Guys. Ty, Pan. Another great video.
Love this review...Even better than Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Wax?? and I thought that was the best off the shelves. I would like to the a review of the new Chemical Guys Hydrocharge Ceramic Spray VS Turtle Wax ICE Seal N Shine
5 yrs later and the turtle wax seal and shine still working great. I tried it out for the first time love the ease of Application. i’m in a cool climate area just like you have a lot of snow so I’m gonna see if this product will last over over the winter months.
just purchased 2 bottles. Got some details coming up and I am going to use them as a free upgrade and see how they hold up over the next few months. Great clip Pan!!
@@PanTheOrganizer I have been detailing for years and heard about it via Autogeek/Autopia forums as well as youtube suggestions when looking at Scott, Jimbo and Matt from obsessed.
I have been using Mothers CMX and I have been pleased with the results, or so I thought. I never tested its chemical resistance since I always use pH neutral soaps and the water beading and sheeting are still impressive 3 months later. However the Turtle Wax Ice Seal and Shine is something I should look at and this test made me a believer.
I really appreciate the way you keep the video "moving." No time-wasting just pure facts and demonstration. Congratulations, well-done. (and, I will be buying the Turtle Wax Ice ! ! ! ! ! ! ! )
@@PanTheOrganizer Hi, it just came up randomly when I opened TH-cam. I have since been to two auto stores locally (Newcastle AUSTRALIA) and it is "discontinued" I am puzzled and will keep looking. Thanks
I am a maguiars fan i admit turtle wax win. Im gonna buy for the first time turtle wax seal and shine i cant beleive it. Turtle wax seal and shine better and cheaper. Im turtle wax fan now im gonna change my collections in my garage i have alot of maguiars products all products. Thanks fan you are the best always.
Super surprised. I picked up some meguiars from your previous video and absolutely love it. I’ll try out turtle wax once I run out. Great vid! Btw your neighbors must absolutely love you for keeping all their rides tight and clean.
If you don’t attack it with an onslaught of chemicals, yes it should last at least 2-3 months, like any other in its category. All the people who try chemical tests have come to identical results as me. Turtle Wax is just a beast in those tests. That doesn’t mean the others are bad products. They just have other features where they shine.
Been using Turtle wax for 40 years as a DYIer and have never been disappointed. These results don't surprise me as a result. I think this was well done and fair. Nice video work, keep up the good work thank you.
I have always swore by Meguiar's products, but after watching this, VERY fair, and very professional test, there is no doubt I will be purchasing the Turtle Wax. Thanks for this very helpful info Pan.
Thanks for watching! They have a new Seal N Shine formula available and it continued to do well in this latest test: th-cam.com/video/ZKZyeKCh3DM/w-d-xo.html
Meguiar's Ultimate Fast Finish vs turtlewax ice seal n shine vs turtlewax ice spray wax. No ONR, maybe CarPro Reset for rinse. Doesn't ONR say it leaves behind polymers?
ONR is a pure cleaner. It leaves nothing behind. CarPro Reset is a fantastic pure shampoo as well, but ONR is a polymer based cleaner (not a shampoo). Both should not leave residue behind, hence why I used ONR in this video.
Bought the Turtle Wax before seeing this video. Was ultra easy to apply to my 1999 Corvette, and it looks great. The car doesn't get rained on or washed very often, but I now have confidence that this coating will hold up well. Thanks for the excellent video!
Thanks Mike! And guess what? Turtle Wax just unveiled the new 2020 formula of this Seal N Shine and made it even better, now with UV protection and other good stuff. Watch my video : th-cam.com/video/49DtbUBHMpg/w-d-xo.html
Exactly my thoughts. ⬆️ Ceramic coatings take time to cure, but lasr much longer, and provide a better shine than products that are just full of silicone oils. Like turtle.
I just applied CMX to my car you’re supposed to apply it wait a few minutes and the buffet off with a microfiber cloth plus like you said wait at least 24 hours
Amazing!!!! The three products I wanted a heads up to!! I use TW s&s and Megs CiO2... great to see the winner in this test!! Thank you for this and ALL videos and tips, Pan! 🙏🙏🙏
Started a mobile detailing business..... started Watching a ton of TH-cam videos on detailing..... saw a couple of your videos.... then decided that you had a wealth of knowledge, that would, and has, helped me become a better detailer, as well as more informed on products, tools, techniques, and over all tips to run a successful detailing business! 😎🙌🏼
Very surprised at the meguiars pan as I was going to buy this.. thanks to your video I’ll be going for the turtle wax... Great video mate and awesome testing 👍🏻👍🏻
He applied it completely wrong. First time using you are supposed to wash vehicle, apply product to a wet surface, dry with micro fiber cloth, rinse, apply product to a wet surface, rinse, dry. after that you can apply it normally after washing by applying to a wet surface, rinse, dry.
@@PanTheOrganizer I took my car to my local car detailer and saw that he was using lots of CarPro products, so I was interested of trying some of those by myself, went on the internet for some reviews and the first ones was yours, since then I've spent many hours on your channel, it's just the formula of how you make your videos that really caught my interest, keep it up !
Hey Pan, I see many torture test to sealants with chemicals, but never have I seen a test that submits the panel to the sun and high temps to see if they can withstand. In my experience, my treated cars last a decent amount of time as long as I dont park it in the sun, I haven't found a sealant/wax that can last the high temp the paint reaches in a couple of hours in direct sun light in the summer, even freshly applied sealants disappear when the paint gets too hot. Would love to see a test of this
I'm actually not surprised by the results. In such a competitive market right now, Turtle Wax had to come out with something competitive and stands out. Great review Pan.
The one thing I did notice with the meguiars hybrid wax it does not like plastic bumpers the water beating goes away after 2 weeks when the rest of the car is fine for months
I would love for your to do a review of the new SEMA 2019 products: Griot's Garage Ceramic 3 in 1 Wax vs Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. Could you please do this comparison? I would love to see this showdown between these new ceramic sprays! Thank You!
Saw a commercial for the meguiars and figured I give it a try until I seen that price. Watched a few videos now and it seems the turtle wax is the clear winner. Going to pick up some today 👍🏾. Thanks!!!!
I’m impressed with the results. All the hype with the other two and TW blew them away. Awesome video Pan 👍👌. As others said, will like to see a vs PS BM and/or CG HC spray coating
faxmen09 not really. Nothing against Pan but the Megs HCW has held much better in other channel comparisons. My guess is that it was over applied and the surfactants/carrier ingredients weren’t rinsed away from the foundation layer till after the APC was already used on it.
@@steve9377 Operative words, "My guess" In other words, you have no evidence to back your claim. And your comment proof of my comment to Pan. Thanks for confirmation. Fanboys can't help themselves.
faxmen09 it has to be a guess because I’m not a chemist nor do I make the product. I can only go by what the product specialists at Meguiars say. Here is some info from Michael Stoops from meguiarsonline.com: “Here's what you should do for the very first application of HCW, especially if you don't have a really strong layer of protection on the paint to begin with. "Foundation Layer" Wash the vehicle with your normal process, rinse thoroughly but leave wet Spray no more than 2 trigger pulls of product onto a panel - 3 for a large panel such as the hood of a large vehicle, roof, etc. Dry with a quality microfiber drying towel Done If, on the other hand, you have really nice water beading from a previous, fresh wax application or you've already done the foundation layer as described above, then do this: "Standard Application" Wash the vehicle with your normal process, rinse thoroughly but leave wet Spray no more than 2 trigger pulls of product onto a panel - 3 for a large panel such as the hood of a large vehicle, roof, etc. Rinse thoroughly with a strong stream of water. A pressure washer works great, but lacking same the best approach is to use a variable setting nozzle on your garden hose and select the flat fan spray pattern. Trust me here, it's the best choice of all the settings on the nozzle for this. We've tested more dang nozzles than I care to remember. Dry with a quality microfiber drying towel Done Now, if you're a regular here on MOL I'm guessing you're an enthusiast, or downright Car Crazy. Good for you. That means you might even want to do both of the above process in rapid succession. Yep, do the "foundation layer" process, then get the car wet and do the "standard application" process immediately. If you do this, especially on a non metallic black vehicle, you may see a very slight bit of streaking when you do the drying step of the foundation layer. Don't stress, don't fight it, don't do anything. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Just move on to the standard application process and you'll love the incredible slickness when you dry with a clean, dry towel. It's pretty crazy. And you'll see even tighter water beading immediately. There are basically two ways you can go wrong with this product: 1. Over apply the product. Just go nuts spraying the car down with that lovely blue elixir. Lay it on super thick. You really want that protection!!!! STOP IT!!! That is NOT going to help you at all. In fact, it will make life much, much harder and you may end not liking a really awesome product! Why? Because you probably won't rinse off all of the carrier ingredients, which are actually highly hydrophillic - it loves water and will attract rather than repel it. So you end up with really lousy beading, and possibly a fair bit of streaking. True story - a friend of mine in Northern California applied HCW to his car and called me with this very complaint. I told him he probably overused the product. He admitted to using half the bottle on one car. I told him that was probably enough for 6 or 7 cars. He fell silent. He then asked how to fix it. I told him to wash the car with his regular car wash and everything would be fine, no need to even reapply the product. He said it was going to rain soon so he thought washing the car was a waste of time. I said "great!", let the car sit in the rain. That will wash off the last of the carrier ingredients, the beading will come up beautifully, and the streaking will be gone. He called me back that night and said it worked just as I said it would. Well, duh. 2. Skip the foundation layer if the car has zero protection and water lays on the paint in a great big, non moving sheet. Just spray a little bit of HCW into that deep pool of water and rinse it off. STOP IT!!! That is NOT going to help you at all. A huge sheet of water on the paint won't let the active ingredients get to the paint. Those hydrophillic carrier ingredients will basically form a layer between the active ingredients and that huge sheet of water on the paint, so when you do rinse it off you rinse off everything. You leave nothing behind. If you have Lake Michigan sitting on your hood, partially dry it.... just move some of the water out of the way and expose a decent amount of paint. Don't dry it fully, just clear some of the water away. Now do the foundation layer process as described above, and then, because you're a MOL user, do the standard application as well. You'll thank me. Oh, but if water is doing a Lake Michigan impersonation on your hood, you've likely got some other issues.... like that paint may need to be clayed first, just as you normally would before applying a traditional wax or sealant. Do it.”
Hi Pan, Love your videos! Can watch them for hours. I've seen some video's where they apply (for example) the Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax on a dry car. They buff it off with a microfibre towel. What is your opinion on this? Thanks!
@@PanTheOrganizer I was trying to find some product reviews for spray wax. I've always used a paste wax and was looking for something easier. Your video popped up, and I'm glad it did.
After watching this, I now use the Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine. I'm impressed with how easy it was to apply, the gloss and smoothness, how long the product has lasted on the car and the unbelievable low cost. Thanks for the video.
@@PanTheOrganizer I was online looking for instructions for car detailing and what to use. I came across your TH-cam channel and have been watching it ever since. You explain the whole process, the reason why all the steps need to be done and you demonstrate what I can expect from the products. When the winter is over, I think that I will attempt a CarPro CQuartz application based on your detailed instructions. A little challenging but I think it will be rewarding. Thanks for the channel!
Thanks for taking the time Pan, nice work! 👍👌✌ What kind of clay towel and lube are you using? Seal & Shine is a total home run. No misleading label, versatile and easy application, lots of sexy water beading and superior durability at a fraction of the cost of competitors. It's almost ridiculous how good it is. It is like Opti-Seal combined with a good spray wax. A little goes a looong way and plenty of lubrication, an ideal drying aid protection for those that towel dry. Protects and plays nice with glass and trim, with an effortless streak free wipe off, sunlight friendly If you work in small sections. If you have any streaking issues, you're using too much. One or two sprays per panel is all you need. It is an ideal protection for lower budget details. I'm seeing vehicles come back as far out as 60 days since application, protection is still intact. Very impressive all the way around. I bought a bunch, I hope they don't raise the price.
@@PanTheOrganizer awesome thanks! I tried a couple clay alternatives awhile ago and didn't care for them, but they weren't high quality. I'm gonna give them another try and get a couple new ones, seems like they could definitely save some time. Do you prefer the towel over the Autoscrub?
Seal and Shine was recently released locally, so I grabbed a bottle for me to try out. I got too excited and sprayed the entire hood of my 2019 Hilux (as if using a quick detailer) and experienced streaking (this was on top of Meguiar's Gold Class carnauba wax) as you've mentioned. Took a bit of buffing to remove it but boy does Seal and Shine work! Drove around in the rain for a quick test right after the wash and the water just falls off of the hood, instead of simply clinging onto it. P.S. thanks again for the product review Pan!
Hi, I had been using Meguires Ceramic products and the durability , beading up and sheeting was great! The only drawback was it didn’t have that just waxed feel. I bought the Turtle Wax grafphene ceramic spray on. The application was easy, the paint gloss was much better and I applied 2 coats following the directions exactly. I was impressed with the gloss and that just waxed feel but, I was very disappointed with water beading and NO water sheeting ! The beading was no better than a car with a 3 month old wax job.I plan writing Turtle wax company to voice my displeasure . Thank You for your videos even though I don’t totally agree with you on this product.
I'm about to purchase Mother's cnx ceramic spray but when i saw your video i just chaged my mind.. i'll buy the Turtle wax instead, cheap but excellent quality!.. thank you..
I thought Mothers CMX required 24 hours to cure...Respectfully...Otherwise nice video and demonstration, product suggestion: Head-to-head comparison between Turtle Wax Ice Seal N' Shine versus Technician's Choice Ceramic Spray...
Agreed CMX does take 24hrs cure. Says so right on the bottle. I talked to Mothers directly and they told me to strip the CMX with industrial degreaser before a respray. Funny that’s the first chemical used in this test. That’s exactly why the Turtle Wax appeared better than Meguires and Mother’s. Different compositions. Where exactly would my car be subjected to Industrial degreaser. Anyways I’m sure the Turtle Wax is a good product I just wanted to share what I’ve learned about CMX. Thanks Pan I appreciate your videos.
EXACTLY. It also clearly states on the bottle to allow a few minutes for the coating to bond to the surface before buffing off. This is the second video I've seen in which they didn't follow the instructions for the CMX. Pretty much nullifies the entire video. Thinking about using this product, sure would be nice to find a video that represents it properly.
@@techtube3831 I wondered about that too -- now to be clear Mr. Pan does note at the beginning of the video that this test was more for fun than anything. I am very impressed by the turtle wax for it's ease of application and use, but I found my application of Mothers CMX didn't look at all like these tests. It rained the day after I applied it, and the water didn't hold on the car AT ALL. It completely beaded/sheeted right off. Still, fun video.
@@techtube3831 this is not the first time he recommends turtle wax products over others and my experience with the ICE line has been subpar. Especially if applied in winter temperatures.
Just did my first clay bar, followed by first Maguiars ceramic wax. Looks fantastic 😁. Did have some streaking but I put that down to rookie technique, they buff out easily with clean dry microfiber towels even after an hour 😋.

Hi I just recently started watching, and subscribing to your Channel. I'm fairly new to properly taking care of my vehicle and had a few questions. I don't know if they're outlined in another video or not, but as a new car care enthusiastic what is the importance of the water beading? In my uneducated opinion the beating looks poorer than the other two products that seemed to drive the water off of the vehicle so that it does not cause additional UV damage from sitting water.
If you have a video that explains what to look for and why certain things are damaging to a vehicle I would be interested to watch that as well.
Pan TheOrganizer lol after I make my comment you put all links niceee
I watched this while walking through Walmart with the meguiars ceramic- quickly went back and picked up the turtle wax seal and shine LOL- thanks for the review!
My pleasure Marko! How did you discover my channel?
I haven't tried any but will give Turtle a try now.
Same! I found this video through a Google search. My next project is learning how to protect my rims from break dust.
I am doing same thing today lol
I just both meguiars yesterday at walmart. I'm going back today to buy the turtle
Never did I ever think I would say Turtle Wax impresses me!
same here!!!!
It doesn't last as long, because I've tried it. And he did it wrong because meguire needs initial application and then second application with rinse. I think Mother's CMX needs that too. From experience, CMX lasts the longest. Meguires lasts about 2 months-3months. CMX about 3-4months.
I've been using The blue bottle of turtle wax ice for about 6 years. Great product. 1 thing to keep in mind if you have small imperfections in your finish. swirl marks light scratches ect. use a buffer or compound wax to remove those flaws 1st. These protects will not correct those problems.These do not chemically bond to the clear coat. Think of it as cling wrap that you'd cover leftovers with. But here your protecting the clear coat with a thin protective layer.If you come into contact with heavy brine "Road Salt"you get that white film remove it immediately even if its -20 get it washed off. It can actually leach thru this protective layer and set between this and on your clear coat. It can cause heavy damage to cars finish in a very short amount of time. Just a heads up to save some head aches...
@@therealnoodles7638 A REAL Ceramic Coating lasts 3-5 years. These are quick fixes for about 1/2 the price of a RAL Ceramic Coating. I'll pay full price and get the REAL Deal.

Sometimes you don't get what you pay for. Excellent video Pan!
Thanks!
@@PanTheOrganizer Hi Pan! Just wondering can you use the Turtle Wax product on top of PPF (Paint Protection Film/ Clear Bra)? Thanks!
@@or6144 I'd like to know this also, what products can be used before the turtle wax s&s
I used Meguiars ceramic wax and my car beaded up for over two months. I also sprayed it on and rinsed it off and not wiped it off like he did. I stand by the product. It’s awesome.
That's how you're supposed to use it. He didn't do it right. You're supposed to hit it with water with a good amount of pressure after applying it.
Jesus! I swear by Meguiar's but after this, the Turtle Wax is a clear winner and a lot cheaper too!
I feel ya bro
Turtle Wax sure has come a long way since the old days. Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine is sure a clear winner in this comparison. Definitely worth going out and getting some. Great video, Pan!
Thanks! I appreciate it! And yes I agree, the Turtle Wax ICE line seems legit. I'll have to test more of their products. We're far from the cheapo "Hard Shell Finish" green tub of paste wax they had decades ago. :)
Pan TheOrganizer lol at the hard shell finish! I kinda remembered that they also used that tag even back in the day. 😂 But on this test, oh yeah, it’s really.. as Raph and boys would say, “Turtle Power!”
@Mike Shriver what terrible? I've used it. Last around 6 months now. Zero complain to me
not for me at all, because I want the water to flow down from the car immediately and not a single drop up there, but this promoted Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine of yours can't because the water stays on it the same as on a normal unprotected car.
Much awaited battle, the 1st comparative video - CMX, HCW and SNS. Thanks
Thanks
I have been using the full line of Turtle Wax ‘Ice’ products since shortly after they hit the shelves several years back. And, I have been very pleased with the results and long lasting level of protection they provide. I just recently purchased the Ice Seal and Shine. I used it on my two month old 2019 white Chrysler Pacifica. Not only is there a high level of shine, it’s the slickest, smoothest finish I’ve ever felt. Glad to see the experts results show that I picked the right product.
Great video Pan, very clear demonstration of Seal N Shine’s chemical resistance! SNS is a durable monster in all of the short term chemical based testing I’ve done, very surprising and also definitely a needed property to make Turtle Wax stand out against HCW and CMX which are great products themselves. Keep up the great content!
Thanks bro! Yeah I agree, it was a revelation to me! Turtle Wax stepped their game up with this ICE line!
I have tried these and more. I have switch to all turtle wax products and have great results.
I guess this explains why two stores I stopped at today were out of the Turtle wax product. I”ll keep looking now. This vid was EXCELLENT
Thanks Tom! Yeah I have almost 300,000 subscribers so when I like a product, it tends to sell out quickly online and in stores lol.
Just ordered two bottles from Amazon. $4.95 ea.
@@tommicky6296 price almost doubled! I've been seeing so many great reviews but I already have too many projects to use up. I figured for the price why not...price doubled 😣 still cheap though

Lol, thank you for the video Pan.
Hehe thanks!!
@@PanTheOrganizer I actually hope this is the case. TH-cam and content like Pan's show which products are a waste of money. I hope the manufacturers are paying attention and in-turn create better products! Great work Pan! It seems to me like this is an opportunity for the smaller manufacturers to make/sell a bunch of great products and flip the market on its side. 25 years of buying random car wash/wax/detail products from my local auto parts store and realizing they're garbage is a thing of the past.
Yes, thats one way to get these big companies to improve and beat prices!
That's why they call : beating the competition.
Thank you, Pan! I’ve been on the border between CMX and Maguires Ceramic. Currently I’ve been using Maguires waterless wash and wax and i love it
thanks!
FYI if you look at the Turtle wax website under questions they say the
seal and shine should be applied to the clear coat with all previous
coatings removed. I use this as a base with Meguires ceramic wax as a
top coat! Works great. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks!!

I've been using Turtle wax ice products for years. I'm not surprised. I'm gonna add this to car detail collection.
You will love it I'm sure.
I’ve been using cmx since it came out. The product works exactly as advertised. Water beads well and lasts. I also follow the instructions on the bottle to the letter. No where on the bottle does it say to apply the product and then Immediately wash it off with a cleaning solution. If that was a high alkaline based cleaner the ceramic would be especially compromised. It needs some time to bond. Generally I would give ANY ceramic coating 24hours before doing a test like this. Not to mention it was cleaned off immediately after application. Although a good test I would give the ceramics 24 hours before testing.
Exactly. I use CMX and did 2 coats 24 hour wait time on each. 12months later the water still beads.
true but his rugged testing really proves which product is better

Turtle wax Ice for my Vehicle. Thank you for the comparison, very informative.
Thanks John!
I would suggest the seal and shine, its thicker and a little more durable than the regular ice wax. Get it fast, the price is $10 and going up
The comparison is wrong, because you need to do an initial application with meguires and then second application with rinse, for it to work properly. It says on the instruction bottle.
@@BAF-ch4ts $9.97 tonight at WalMart! Just got lucky I guess. Had Meguiar's in my hand, but put it back for the TurtleWax. Was looking for TW's Ceramic Wax, but couldn't find any. Maybe it was for the best!

Been using turtle was products since 1965 and always have great results.
👍🏻
Accord79 put 3 layers of CMX and it’s still working great after 6+ months
If you don’t attack it with an onslaught of chemicals, yes it should last at least 2-3 months, like any other in its category.
All the people who try chemical tests have come to identical results as me. Turtle Wax is just a beast in those tests. That doesn’t mean the others are bad products. They just have other features where they shine.
I thought the carnauba’s lasted 2-3 months and ceramic sealants lasted much longer??

Meguiar's Ultimate Fast Finish vs turtlewax ice seal n shine vs turtlewax ice spray wax. No ONR, maybe CarPro Reset for rinse. Doesn't ONR say it leaves behind polymers?
ONR is a pure cleaner. It leaves nothing behind. CarPro Reset is a fantastic pure shampoo as well, but ONR is a polymer based cleaner (not a shampoo). Both should not leave residue behind, hence why I used ONR in this video.
Can you make a decal that says, "keep it clean and keep it tight". I would definitely rock that.
Juan Velasquez i’m gonna tell my girlfriend that one
Great idea!!!
Hey you just changed my buying decision of Meguiars..
Going for Turtle Wax ICE.
Excellent value for money..
Thanks.
Bought the Turtle Wax before seeing this video. Was ultra easy to apply to my 1999 Corvette, and it looks great. The car doesn't get rained on or washed very often, but I now have confidence that this coating will hold up well. Thanks for the excellent video!
Thanks Mike! And guess what? Turtle Wax just unveiled the new 2020 formula of this Seal N Shine and made it even better, now with UV protection and other good stuff. Watch my video : th-cam.com/video/49DtbUBHMpg/w-d-xo.html
Cmx has a cure time of 12 hours to 24 hours 12 hours if layering 24 hours for single coat
Exactly my thoughts. ⬆️
Ceramic coatings take time to cure, but lasr much longer, and provide a better shine than products that are just full of silicone oils. Like turtle.
4A Productions although it may have been just as effective as turtle wax, the curing time is still considered a downside to the product
I just applied CMX to my car you’re supposed to apply it wait a few minutes and the buffet off with a microfiber cloth plus like you said wait at least 24 hours
Mistake? You forgot to test hydrophobic before 1st super clean, if the Meguiar and Mothers was removed by the super clean or not?
That would have made no difference because nothing was used before supper clean.

He applied it completely wrong.
First time using you are supposed to wash vehicle, apply product to a wet surface, dry with micro fiber cloth, rinse, apply product to a wet surface, rinse, dry.
after that you can apply it normally after washing by applying to a wet surface, rinse, dry.

Hey Pan, I see many torture test to sealants with chemicals, but never have I seen a test that submits the panel to the sun and high temps to see if they can withstand. In my experience, my treated cars last a decent amount of time as long as I dont park it in the sun, I haven't found a sealant/wax that can last the high temp the paint reaches in a couple of hours in direct sun light in the summer, even freshly applied sealants disappear when the paint gets too hot. Would love to see a test of this
I'm actually not surprised by the results. In such a competitive market right now, Turtle Wax had to come out with something competitive and stands out. Great review Pan.
Thanks Brandon!
If thats true..Then it shows Mothers and Meguairs which are two big company as well surely dont care?🤔
The one thing I did notice with the meguiars hybrid wax it does not like plastic bumpers the water beating goes away after 2 weeks when the rest of the car is fine for months
Would this car happen to be BMW ?

Pan, it seems you've made the Megs fanboys very unhappy with this comparison. Good job on the video. Of the three I'd buy the TW S&S.
Thanks for watching!
faxmen09 not really. Nothing against Pan but the Megs HCW has held much better in other channel comparisons. My guess is that it was over applied and the surfactants/carrier ingredients weren’t rinsed away from the foundation layer till after the APC was already used on it.
@@steve9377 Operative words, "My guess" In other words, you have no evidence to back your claim. And your comment proof of my comment to Pan. Thanks for confirmation. Fanboys can't help themselves.
faxmen09 it has to be a guess because I’m not a chemist nor do I make the product. I can only go by what the product specialists at Meguiars say. Here is some info from Michael Stoops from meguiarsonline.com:
“Here's what you should do for the very first application of HCW, especially if you don't have a really strong layer of protection on the paint to begin with.
"Foundation Layer"
Wash the vehicle with your normal process, rinse thoroughly but leave wet
Spray no more than 2 trigger pulls of product onto a panel - 3 for a large panel such as the hood of a large vehicle, roof, etc.
Dry with a quality microfiber drying towel
Done
If, on the other hand, you have really nice water beading from a previous, fresh wax application or you've already done the foundation layer as described above, then do this:
"Standard Application"
Wash the vehicle with your normal process, rinse thoroughly but leave wet
Spray no more than 2 trigger pulls of product onto a panel - 3 for a large panel such as the hood of a large vehicle, roof, etc.
Rinse thoroughly with a strong stream of water. A pressure washer works great, but lacking same the best approach is to use a variable setting nozzle on your garden hose and select the flat fan spray pattern. Trust me here, it's the best choice of all the settings on the nozzle for this. We've tested more dang nozzles than I care to remember.
Dry with a quality microfiber drying towel
Done
Now, if you're a regular here on MOL I'm guessing you're an enthusiast, or downright Car Crazy. Good for you. That means you might even want to do both of the above process in rapid succession. Yep, do the "foundation layer" process, then get the car wet and do the "standard application" process immediately. If you do this, especially on a non metallic black vehicle, you may see a very slight bit of streaking when you do the drying step of the foundation layer. Don't stress, don't fight it, don't do anything. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Just move on to the standard application process and you'll love the incredible slickness when you dry with a clean, dry towel. It's pretty crazy. And you'll see even tighter water beading immediately.
There are basically two ways you can go wrong with this product:
1. Over apply the product. Just go nuts spraying the car down with that lovely blue elixir. Lay it on super thick. You really want that protection!!!!
STOP IT!!!
That is NOT going to help you at all. In fact, it will make life much, much harder and you may end not liking a really awesome product! Why? Because you probably won't rinse off all of the carrier ingredients, which are actually highly hydrophillic - it loves water and will attract rather than repel it. So you end up with really lousy beading, and possibly a fair bit of streaking. True story - a friend of mine in Northern California applied HCW to his car and called me with this very complaint. I told him he probably overused the product. He admitted to using half the bottle on one car. I told him that was probably enough for 6 or 7 cars. He fell silent. He then asked how to fix it. I told him to wash the car with his regular car wash and everything would be fine, no need to even reapply the product. He said it was going to rain soon so he thought washing the car was a waste of time. I said "great!", let the car sit in the rain. That will wash off the last of the carrier ingredients, the beading will come up beautifully, and the streaking will be gone. He called me back that night and said it worked just as I said it would. Well, duh.
2. Skip the foundation layer if the car has zero protection and water lays on the paint in a great big, non moving sheet. Just spray a little bit of HCW into that deep pool of water and rinse it off.
STOP IT!!!
That is NOT going to help you at all. A huge sheet of water on the paint won't let the active ingredients get to the paint. Those hydrophillic carrier ingredients will basically form a layer between the active ingredients and that huge sheet of water on the paint, so when you do rinse it off you rinse off everything. You leave nothing behind. If you have Lake Michigan sitting on your hood, partially dry it.... just move some of the water out of the way and expose a decent amount of paint. Don't dry it fully, just clear some of the water away. Now do the foundation layer process as described above, and then, because you're a MOL user, do the standard application as well. You'll thank me. Oh, but if water is doing a Lake Michigan impersonation on your hood, you've likely got some other issues.... like that paint may need to be clayed first, just as you normally would before applying a traditional wax or sealant. Do it.”
Wow. Had to watch it twice to believe it. Love to see what finally breaks the turtles back.

You explain the whole process, the reason why all the steps need to be done and you demonstrate what I can expect from the products. When the winter is over, I think that I will attempt a CarPro CQuartz application based on your detailed instructions. A little challenging but I think it will be rewarding. Thanks for the channel!

Thanks for taking the time Pan, nice work! 👍👌✌
What kind of clay towel and lube are you using?
Seal & Shine is a total home run. No misleading label, versatile and easy application, lots of sexy water beading and superior durability at a fraction of the cost of competitors. It's almost ridiculous how good it is.
It is like Opti-Seal combined with a good spray wax. A little goes a looong way and plenty of lubrication, an ideal drying aid protection for those that towel dry. Protects and plays nice with glass and trim, with an effortless streak free wipe off, sunlight friendly If you work in small sections. If you have any streaking issues, you're using too much. One or two sprays per panel is all you need.
It is an ideal protection for lower budget details. I'm seeing vehicles come back as far out as 60 days since application, protection is still intact. Very impressive all the way around. I bought a bunch, I hope they don't raise the price.
Thanks for your feedback Keith!
I used a Nanoskin clay towel and Chemical Guys Clay Luber in this video.
@@PanTheOrganizer awesome thanks!
I tried a couple clay alternatives awhile ago and didn't care for them, but they weren't high quality. I'm gonna give them another try and get a couple new ones, seems like they could definitely save some time. Do you prefer the towel over the Autoscrub?
Seal and Shine was recently released locally, so I grabbed a bottle for me to try out.
I got too excited and sprayed the entire hood of my 2019 Hilux (as if using a quick detailer) and experienced streaking (this was on top of Meguiar's Gold Class carnauba wax) as you've mentioned. Took a bit of buffing to remove it but boy does Seal and Shine work!
Drove around in the rain for a quick test right after the wash and the water just falls off of the hood, instead of simply clinging onto it.
P.S. thanks again for the product review Pan!
LOL! Great demo! Slow and steady always win! Go Turtle Wax!!! Way affordable too!
Thanks Tous! How did you discover my channel?
Turtle Wax hasn't let me down yet.
Thank you, Pan, for doing a video on this product.
Thanks Craig!!
Hi, I had been using Meguires Ceramic products and the durability , beading up and sheeting was great! The only drawback was it didn’t have that just waxed feel. I bought the Turtle Wax grafphene ceramic spray on. The application was easy, the paint gloss was much better and I applied 2 coats following the directions exactly. I was impressed with the gloss and that just waxed feel but, I was very disappointed with water beading and NO water sheeting ! The beading was no better than a car with a 3 month old wax job.I plan writing Turtle wax company to voice my displeasure . Thank You for your videos even though I don’t totally agree with you on this product.
I'm about to purchase Mother's cnx ceramic spray but when i saw your video i just chaged my mind.. i'll buy the Turtle wax instead, cheap but excellent quality!.. thank you..
How about moving Turtle Wax Seal N Shine onto the next round and compare it with these two… Turtle Wax Spray Wax and Nanoskin Nano Shock?
Thanks
You dont have to pay a lot of money for a great product. Turtle wax has stepped up their game a lot
All the way up! :)
I thought Mothers CMX required 24 hours to cure...Respectfully...Otherwise nice video and demonstration, product suggestion: Head-to-head comparison between Turtle Wax Ice Seal N' Shine versus Technician's Choice Ceramic Spray...
It does and is a main reason it doesn't seem to fare as well as some others. Hardly anyone allows for it to fully cure before the "torture tests".
Agreed CMX does take 24hrs cure. Says so right on the bottle. I talked to Mothers directly and they told me to strip the CMX with industrial degreaser before a respray. Funny that’s the first chemical used in this test. That’s exactly why the Turtle Wax appeared better than Meguires and Mother’s. Different compositions. Where exactly would my car be subjected to Industrial degreaser. Anyways I’m sure the Turtle Wax is a good product I just wanted to share what I’ve learned about CMX. Thanks Pan I appreciate your videos.
EXACTLY. It also clearly states on the bottle to allow a few minutes for the coating to bond to the surface before buffing off. This is the second video I've seen in which they didn't follow the instructions for the CMX. Pretty much nullifies the entire video. Thinking about using this product, sure would be nice to find a video that represents it properly.
@@techtube3831 I wondered about that too -- now to be clear Mr. Pan does note at the beginning of the video that this test was more for fun than anything. I am very impressed by the turtle wax for it's ease of application and use, but I found my application of Mothers CMX didn't look at all like these tests. It rained the day after I applied it, and the water didn't hold on the car AT ALL. It completely beaded/sheeted right off. Still, fun video.
@@techtube3831 this is not the first time he recommends turtle wax products over others and my experience with the ICE line has been subpar. Especially if applied in winter temperatures.
Pan big kudos to you man you make our lifes so much easier, thanks for all the info.
Thanks Jose!
Just did my first clay bar, followed by first Maguiars ceramic wax. Looks fantastic 😁. Did have some streaking but I put that down to rookie technique, they buff out easily with clean dry microfiber towels even after an hour 😋.
Turtle wax is the clear winner here on Jeep Cherokee..🤔
Anyways i love that shine on the BMW 550i in the back..😅🤩
👍🏻👍🏻
Impressive results for Turtle Wax. Turtle Waxs product will be on my list the next time I shop.
Thank you for this video.
I'm literally astounded by the performance of that turtle wax :o
joshua khan me too, what is in it? It’s unremoveable
So was I !
