For $6, this product should get a 2019 award, at the end of the year. Brilliant product...
Definitely deserves it.
Who needs a ceramic coating with a $6 dollar product this tough? Turtle Wax has that special sauce and should be running these other folks out of business. Way more protection than Beadmaker, many sealants, and of course many waxes. This sealant is as strong as ceramic spray sealants or stronger. #RealInnovation
Holy Business gonna have to agree with u on that. Having said that I will use it as a topper to my already two layer ceramic coated truck.
That and you don't have to throw away your microfiber after applying a ceramic coating.
@@ashishpatel350 How are you sure microfiber towels used with this Turtle Wax can be used over and over again (after washing)? Somebody should test that for a longer time.
@@Sherukka if it's just a basic sealer you can just wash them and use them again.
Ceremic hardens and you'll see tiny shards in the towels that scratch your paint. Hence the reason why the ceramic sprays tell you to throw them away.
But I agree someone should test it to make sure.
100% agreed. They should sell it on gallon size, me personally i could buy the 55 gal drum for the the rest of my life
None of these strip wash products are meant to be used on newly applied sealants or waxes, they're meant to be used to remove the remnants of a wax or sealant, before prepping to apply a new layer of protection. That being said, Adam's strip wash isn't a really effective product, so even if this was a non misleading video, the results wouldn't have been that great.
Bilt Hamber Cleanser-Fluid (a paint prep product) has been proven to remove this Turtle Wax Seal And Shine by another TH-camr. It took about 2 rounds.
MDP exactly. Not to mention usually claying or using iron remover after washing.
@@Sherukka Doesn't appear you can get Bilt Hamber Cleanser-Fluid in the U.S.
Greg Wittmeyer Yeah, that is really a shame and liquids are expensive to import. Hope for example The Rag Company would start importing some of the Bilt Hamber products but wouldn’t hold my breath on Cleanser-fluid.
Turtle wax should make an Ice Shampoo for stripping its own sealant and waxes. That would be perfect.
That would be very helpful.
@@autodetailingpodcast This new generation of hybrid SiO2 Carnauba infused wax/sealant/liquid glass (sounds crazy eh?) changed an old paradigm that LSPs didn't bond to the surface and that somehow, it would just linger and eventually fade away. People gotta realise that the newer generation of LSPs incorporate non-organic compounds that cross-link with the clear coat. The result is a much longer lasting protective layer that can't be broken/washed away from the clear coat with shampoos, APCs and even degreasers. These can only ever so slightly weaken the chemical chain. So the options are mostly mechanical extraction (polish/compound), appropriate cross-link breaker chemical that can lift the LSP or high temperature but that's not really practical for this scenario! 😉
Super clean is much stronger than purple power I switched to using super clean after years of using purple power and now I’ll never go back
@@Tony_Seed hi, I have super clean, how much in a bucket or IK 2 to remove TW? I just purchased strip wash too.
@@larrys2554 dilute 1/1 in a spray bottle and spray directly on panels,agetate in and rinse, takes it right off for me every time
I've never believed in Adams Strip wash - thanks for the confirmation
Either Adam's Strip Wash isn't as "powerful" as claimed, or TW ICE S&S is incredibly resistant to chemical harassment. I'm thinking both!!!
I think your right
Only Poorboys Stripdown will do it.
Noo seal and shine is the best product... that it ..
Better than any coating for the price
@@idontcaresapo8233 seal and shine isnt even close to the performance of a properly applied coating.
I think what the lesson from all the testing is that TW is a very strong and lasting product!
One thing I notice about strip washing, if you use a clay mitt on a clean surface, it tends to be much more effective than a wash mitt. Of course there are draw backs by the possibility of marring the paint, in case you don’t plan on polishing. But, a clay towel does greatly speed up the stripping process.
I had applied the Seal N Shine before winter and come spring it was still there doing a decent job. Ended up polishing the car and reapply more Seal N Shine. Now after I wash the car I'll keep layering more Seal N Shine since it's so easy.
Love the fact that you’re on this quest. I’ve personally been wondering which is most effective. Looking forward to see how much damage PP Vehicle and Boat wash does!
Hilarious, this ended up being a commercial for TW after seeing how well it embarrassed Adam's strip wash. Your video was very exposing to what product did work and what didn't work. Great video.
You really want a good sealant and wax remover, go look for a heavy duty industrial cleaner with both ingredients have with a maximum off 10%.
The ingredients are:
Sodium hydroxide and
Potassium hydroxide.
These ingredients will strip almost every wax and polymer based, but if you are not carefully it can be harmful for the clear coat. The real deal SiO2 coatings to strip these coating you need always to polish off.
Purple power vehicle boat and wash or CG citrus wash and gloss does way better than Adam's. I was disappointed. I combine them both sometimes.
I actually recently tried the wash n gloss to strip this Seal and Shine and had zero success. I'm gonna combine with my Super clean next to try.
Glad you did this video and starting a series on this. The "Was I Wrong?" video I asked "How exactly should someone strip panels from wax or sealants?" You never answered and the one answer I got was someone telling me to polish the panels to get everything off. I think that's so overkill. Does no one actually know how to remove the stuff? Do people just rely on stripping washes advertised purposes and not verify its working? I'm still confused on why this is a question that no one knows how to with 100% effectiveness.
Andrea Dake it is not overkill.
Get some polish like optimum hyper polish or Meguiars M205. Put it on a DA polisher and spin it at speed 3 with light pressure. Make 3 passes
I know you mentioned purple power and it's generally frowned upon to use degreasers on paint but I've had decent success with simply green removing fusso coat which is also known for it's strong chemical resistance maybe it could work well with seal and shine.
I have amazing results with 3M citrus cleaner and then washing with 50/50 simple green and water. This destroys coatings.
You produce real world truth videos that really expose the reality of each product. Thanks. SNS is so incredible. I am really waiting for you to find a strip soap that actually works.
I appreciate that.
This is interested, I JUST did this, and maybe they changed the formula but I did the same method and it totally wiped out Sonax BSD, Paint Sealant and Profiline and a layer of Slick Mist in 2 washes haha. I was shocked honestly.
Bro, you found a hood💪🏻 lol.. I'm really taken by the sealant and shine!!! Awesome video brother 👌🏻
Wipe it down with prep solvent. Problem solved.
Really appreciate the "cheap versus expensive" Videos. As someone who just maintains his own vehicles, it is going to be very hard for me to ever get away from TW Ice series
If seal and shine is like their Shine Lock (they share a product page on Amazon) it's mostly silicone oils (62%) and very few APCs will remove silicone oils. Given how everything now sticks to my paint after using S&S I am inclined to believe it's mostly silicone oils. from www.pfonline.com/articles/silicone-oil-removal
"Silicone oils generally have very low surface tension and even an aqueous cleaner with a very good surfactant mixture will likely not be very effective at removal....Polar solvents such as alcohols and acetone will not be effective at dissolving silicone oils. "
When you go there ask them, or use one of the recommended products to use on silcone oils and see if they work and you'll have your answer. I will be polishing it off the next chance I get.
I will for sure. Great info.
First complaint I've seen about s&s
@@justinreneau1983 I had a terrible experience putting it on. It streaked and smeared like crazy and now my truck is a dirt magnet. Beading is great and so is shine through the obvious stuck dirt/dust.
@@kikcodog tip to prevent smearing amd streaking is to apply to a cool surface. I learned this as a mobil detailer
Need a solvent base cleaner. Try some paint thinner on a test panel.
Somewhat off-topic: Every product in every category is somewhat different so I would always suggest to use the same brand of products for example when you are about to apply a coating to a car (or sealant). Use the "paint prep" from the same brand, that is the most safest route to get the bond to maximum.
Seal N Shine is a great product and priced to out sell comparable competitors products.
Most consumers will go for mother's or Meguiars and snub their noses at the turtle wax. I've already told a few guys about these videos and they wouldn't entertain the idea of giving turtle wax a try.
blue03r6 I understand that because of my past experiences with TW but man am I glad I tried this product!
I find that Purple Power Heavy Duty Vehicle and Boat Wash (which you mentioned), is a pretty good strip product. I also like to follow-up the wash after drying with Duplicolor Grease & Wax Remover (the soy based one #CM-543). I'll spray it on the panel and let it dwell for about 10-20 seconds (as long as it doesn't flash depending on how hot it is out), and then wipe off. These two steps usually does the trick, although sometimes I might have to do two applications of the grease & wax remover.
Something that I've seen work well but haven't tried myself is Meguiar's Wash PLUS. It actually contains abrasives within the wash, so it strips really well. It's great especially if you plan on polishing after washing.
A solid straight up strip wash will do? No dilution
I use Megs Wash plus to strip. Too bad it is discontinued
What about using dishwasher soap like Down or Palmolive?
Managed to get some of the ice spray wax on my windows and allowed it to fully dry before realizing it was there and attempted to try to get it off. After like six different cleaners I found that good old glass cleaner with ammonia kills it in the first shot.
Wait if we have to used Adam strip wax 5x just try to remove turtle wax can we use super clean or purple power same amount times like Adam strip to remove turtle seal wax?
In the next video Try Purple Power Vehicle and Boat Wash. It’s at Walmart for 8$. It strips wax and Deep Cleans. I would use at least 6oz in foam cannon. It’s cheap. Scott from Dallas Paint Correction (TH-camr) talks about it.
Lol he mentioned it in his video 😎
For sure try that purple power vehicle and boat deal curious to see how that one does 👍🏼 jimbo out here with the zero bs content 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Interested in seeing the PPVBW. That seems to be everyone's suggestion when trying to get a vehicle stripped.
Is this really a fair test? Why would you strip a brand new coating? I think it's more meant for a few months in
correct me if i'm wrong, but it sounded like in the beginning that you said a strip wash eliminates the use of something like eraser. i thought eraser was something that was to be used after the paint correction step to remove any oils left behind.
i could have misheard you.
even though a strip wash isn't supposed to be used immediately after a sealant is applied, this was still a good video to see the effects of it.
Had I known Seal n Shine was as good as it is... I would have probably skipped the ceramic coating I put on my new 21 WRX.
Purple power vehicle & body wash strips really well
Without wiping off the residue ,we dont know if the seal n shine was defeated ..
So what is the longevity of tw seal and shine on a black car?
Very good topic,would like to see more on it,how to really to remove without polishing 👍 how about testing how the claying will help ?
Good idea!
Use dawn dish soap and see if it works
Haven’t seen a purple power vehicle and boat wash video yet. Plans to do one?
Simply amazing cost/performance ratio for TW S&S!
I think heat would help. Have you tried mixing the stripper in warm water? If so do you have a video, if not can you make a video?
Just add a decent amount of an all purpose cleaner in a typical car wash and the wax or sealant will be gone, skip this product or Chem Guys Clean Slate. Or you can spray some on the paint before washing.
Turtle Wax has a strip car wash soap and its says on the label have 3 level system to use.
No it will not!! That turtle wax product is by far the best product on the market!!!
I did a review as well go check my channel my man subscribe if u could i would love your support thanks!!
As on @Apex Details Channel, Citrol 266 will kill TW S&S in one hit, along with every other product he has torture tested against S&S. I use a combo of Dawn dish detergent and Power Clean to strip before correction, but I haven't tried it on S&S because I haven't had the need to remove it yet.
Curious as to why you don’t use something like preps all? as it’s meant for removing all of the grease and wax without damaging paint.
Try Dawn platinum dish soap. It takes burned on food right off of pots and pans with little to no scrubbing. (Not non stick cookware) Might work good on this.
anyone tried dish soap on the SS ? thanks for the video !
Dish soap doesn't remove most normal waxes, let alone something as chemically resistant as this! The surfactants in dish soap give the impression of protection removal, for a short period. Once those surfactants have gone, the protection properties show through again.
This new generation of hybrid SiO2 Carnauba infused wax/sealant/liquid glass (sounds crazy eh?) changed an old paradigm that LSPs didn't bond to the surface and that somehow, it would just linger and eventually fade away.

Collinite 840. Wicked cleanser! Since I have started using it I haven't needed to clay my car once. Great prepper!
Have you tried turtle wax max power power car wash? Or can you test it out cuz it’s really underrated and in my opinion is a very good soap to strip anything on a car. Would really love to hear your thoughts on that product !(:
Recently came across a product by Dura-Coating Technologies called Exterior Deep Clean and Prep. I wonder how it would do against that crazy Turtle Wax stuff that seems impervious to everything.
Goes to show Adams Strip wash doesn’t strip much, would like to see if the Purple Power RV & Veh wash would do better or if TW Ice Seal & Shine is just too tough
Is it ok to add dish soap to theses strip wash products?
Sure if you want to. I don’t see how it could hurt at all
@@autodetailingpodcast
tks. Seems like these strip washes are kind of weak. I bought chemical guys Clean Slate but reviews are not stellar. Maybe anything stronger is too irritating or toxic for us do-it-yourself ers.
For stripping I will wait for Griots Garage to release their smaller bottle. TW is still my top choice for the price!
Great Video. I use Griots Paint Prep followed by some strong APC to get rid of wax/sealant. Hi concentration snow foam using Chemicals guys Citrus Wash and Gloss removed my coatings when I wasn't trying to do that. Its a great journey to find products that allow a detailer to start with a fresh clean surface.
Not long ago I sent you a link for a car wash shampoo from falcon pro. If I remember correctly I put the product directly to the wet microfiber mitt and it did strip the Meguiars synthetic wax . The galon of the falcon pro is only $6 and going to buy another one and I will try it with the seal and shine .
Seeing as higher ph is what helps break down these products what about using some high ph drinking water with some strip wash. Idk I know I wouldn't do it personally just wonder if it would help. Love that seal and shine and that mcguires fast finish between you and Scott I have gained a ton of knowledge and have a huge arsenal of products now.
What about BH Surfex HD? Great video by the way the TW looks great!!
I’ve never tried
@@autodetailingpodcast Built Hamber Surfex HD is getting great reviews as an APC and de-greaser, i'd love to see you try it. Thanks for your videos.
Six rounds around the truck is too much for me. Thank you for the info....:)
Apllied the SealNShine to my Model3 white pearl and it is absolutely fantastic! Recommend this product!
Love your videos. Completely unbiased and very helpful!
I think it would have cured even more if you left it on longer, but at same time no one would be stripping the day after for the most part anyways. Dawn dish soap works better.
It definitely striped it. If it was used in the real world to get rid of seal n shine after 3 months it probably would’ve removed it after foaming and washing
I like this strip wash series. I use purple power vechile and RV wash mostly because I know it strips road grime very well. I need strong soaps in my life!
That turtle 🐢 sure is tuff . I have a paint sealant this week to apply. Dawn soap 🧼 plus a grease and wax removal will be my combo before it’s applied
Napa use to sell a degreaser called B52 I’d love to see that tested, a very strong degreaser. I’m just afraid to put something that strong to my paint
Wouldn't the test have been better to mix up some for a foam cannon and let it dwell for a couple mins to actually get a chance to break down the fresh application of the wax ? Or even a foam gun at the least, just putting some in a bucket and trying to break down a freshly waxed hood seems like a flawed test to me, just our 2¢ worth
What is the best strip wash in store.
You should also try hyper degreaser by total solutions..it foams up well and its supposed to strip
Hey Jimbo, go to the dollar store and pick up a bottle of LA's Totally Awesome, that shit will strip any wax or sealant, $1 for 24 oz spray bottle at dollar general. I think Walmart may sell it too.
Jimbo, I agree with a few others. Try Purple Power Vehicle and Boat Wash. I'm really curious because its essentially a budget strip wash removing (possibly) a budget sealant. I believe its $8.98 at Walmart.
Other thoughts. Strip wash comparisons on a known durable product such as Seal and Shine.
I tried Purple Power vehicle and boat wash with super clean added to it and that darn sealant will not budge after me going over the car TWICE with the same concoction.😑
I use undiluted TFR and G101 to strip my cars multiple layers of collinite 845 and spray wax, it took it straight off
I’ve been looking at G101 and thought about giving it a try. I’ll have to pick it up
For durability tests, do any of those products damage clear coats? Like purple power and degreasers at full strength. I have always been curious.
If used consistently without adding protection after.
Can you or whats your top five wax and seals or finishes ?
I use a foam cannon too and a bucket wash. With this.
I use tw wet n wipe wax, but I'm switching to ice shine. Looks like a long lasting product just like the other tw product 👍
For sure it is
@@autodetailingpodcast did you find strip solution for this?
Chemical guys clean slate? I don’t think anything will work as well as purple power though tbh
Try Aero Space Wash all. Also try the wash and wax id love to see your ideas on there products
another great product review video again jimbo. I use either super clean or even citrol 266.b well
I’ve used CG Citrus Red for awhile and that stuff worked great! Unfortunately they no longer make it. Matt at Obsessed Garage was able to find someone to make it for him to sell. He changed the color and renamed it Decontamination Soap. I literally just bought a gallon a few minutes ago from him cause I’m down to the last bottle of my CG Red!😥 nice video!
Do not let this stuff dry on your vehicle!
does anyone know what water nozzle he’s using?? Lmk jimbo!
What is the best strip wax Sealant cleaner?
Try purple power vehicle and boat wash on seal and shine
Hi Jimbo, thanks for the video. I wish I had seen this before I bought this expensive Adams strip wash to strip wax and sealant from my truck. The truck was in an accident recently, and when it came out of the body shop, it had been waxed, on top of the 2-3 layers of seal n shine I had already applied. After I washed it the first time back, it appeared all the sealant and wax was gone, panels were flat. So I put a coat of seal n shine on it. Big mistake. Man, it looked like bacon grease. I hand polished it as much as I could, and it still looked bad. So I ordered the strip wash, hoping to get it off. Nope. 2 washes, and still on there. I guess it will have wear off, because I don't have a da polisher, and I can't afford to take it to a detailer. Any suggestions?
You could try washing it with Purple Power Boat Wash or an apc, but seal and shine is a tough one to get off.
@@autodetailingpodcast Thanks for the reply. What is an apc? Also do you think Griots correcting cream, and a da polisher would work?
Thanks.
Jimbo, you may have to travel out of the detailers arsenal and borrow from a mechanic cleaner and use some parts cleaning solvent.
beadmaker is hard to strip! I've hit it with full on apc no dilution and nothing happened....
How can I get a test hood like that?
I know this video is 4 years ago.. I am looking to add the M888 ceramic coating plus Jimbos tuff as shell AKA ( hard as shell ) as a secondary coating... BUT I need to strip wash first.. Is there a better product on the market?? Thanks
Washing with an apc is a great way to strip usually.
CG Clean Slate should do a better job. Certainly removes/kills Beadmaker after a few weeks. TW wizards must be doing backflips on such a good product, i finally got TW Sealant (same black bottle) in UK, absolutely cracking on my Machine Grey CX-5.
Chemical Guys Clean Slate may well remove CG products, but these offer weak durability so up against something as potent as Seal n' Shine it would be just as feeble, if not moreso.
After watching all of your comparison video!I now use turtle wax seal and shine!👍👍
Great 👍.
Can you do the same test with meguiar's wash plus + please?
Well, Adams is out the window
purple power vehicle boat wash or Citrol 266?? Great video man!!!
Give Stormy Daniels a shot.
She'll need the creepy porn lawyer
can't decide whether to have her strip on the pole or wax my pole.
Very impressed with Turtle Wax Seal and Shine.....
