I used it on my Jaguar in October. I didn't do all the prep work, just was with a ceramic wash. Then applied the Flex Wax I step drying add. That was the last time I wash/clean/wax my Jaguar. The Jag is a daily driver and is not garaged. Yesterday Mar 16, 2022. I finally wash and applied Flex Wax. After nearly 6 mos, the water beaded and flowed right off and honestly still had a great shine. For the money, you can beat it!
TW's Graphene Flex Wax is my FAVORITE product from their Hybrid Solutions Line!! GREAT stuff!! Makes my car's paint sparkle!! Thanks for posting, though I'm 3 years late seeing this video.😮💨
In the one-step spray-rinse method, it works much better if you only rinse it only very lightly with just a light mist at first, working as the instructions say from the roof down. Work it down gently. A lot more will stick.
Thanks so much for doing this. I just applied this as a base coat so now I'll be using this flex wax as a drying aid to prevent water spots. Just a little tip: you should add a link to your updated video on this product.
@ $25 a bottle it goes a long way as a direct applied topper and or base coat - great value.. But as the other 2 suggested wash&dry/rinse applications - no thanks... Quite frankly TW's $5 a bottle Wax & Dry is the definite champ in that dept..
Appreciate the review video. I used this product for the 1st time today after wash and dry using the base coat method on black paint. The streaking is absolutely unbelievable. Having to use the damp cloth method to remove the streaking on EVERY panel. Any idea why that might be? As far as I am concerned I applied it to the letter by the directions. 🤔
I think the concentration of the product is simply too high for dry application on dark colors. You could try diluting it with distilled water for dry applications.
Hi. Just wondering how the fine print of Max Wax asking one to wait 24 hours before subjecting the coating to water/washing impacted your tests and setup?
I’m a bit confused. Every other channel that reviewed this product suggests the “spray and rinse” and the “dry assist” methods to be used AFTER a good base coat has been established either by this product or the paste wax.. Essentially as maintenance coats. I’ve watched 8 videos on this and no one is interpreting the label as you are. Every other reviewer says to establish a base and let it cure for 24 hours and then use one of the “quick” methods every couple of months as upkeep.
Yep that’s correct way to use the product but if someone wanted to just spray and rinse or just use as a drying aid I showed it can be done but definitely for a more long term Sealent it is recommended to establish the base coat 👍
I was saying the same thing out loud as I was watching and scrolling through the comments. I used it on my car yesterday, applying two base coats to a dry finish using a microfiber applicator. I bought the car a month and it was only built a month before that so the paint was flawless to start. 24 hours later and the finish feels even more slick. The first time I've used anything Turtle Wax in over 20 years so I have high hopes.
It’s just means your bottom coat of long term protection essentially in this video all three ways I applied we’re base coat because we are testing each of their durability but the first two are meant to be toppers for after a base coat product is applied 👍
@@JamieTheCleaner Thanks Jamie. I use the other Turtle Wax Hybrid products on my C8 Stingray. They work great. Should I use this as a base coat to them?
Seal & Shine seems to be Turtle Wax best base coat product so far but further testing is too be done before I can recommend which one is the best for the base coat yet as long as you put down S&S, Ceramic Spray Coating or either Graphene product down first you cant go wrong 👍
After applying it on my car suface, I have found that on some areas paint does not feel smooth to the touch. Is there a way to restore the paint smoothness?
The best way is wiping it into the paint while it's dry and you get great results and rinsing it off is just lazy and you get bad results and wiping it as you dry is still lazy and as it's get mixed with water it becomes diluted and the protection is weak
THIS WAX JUST TOOK ALL THE METAL FLAKE OUT OF MY DADS PANAMERA, TURNED THE PAINT FROM BRIGHT BLUE, TO ALMOST A DULL BLACK!!!!!!!! IT IS SHINY, BUT HE'S REALLY MAD!!
@@mulletman012 It seems to have put a coating over the metal flake, washing seems to bring it back a little bit, gonna take several washes to get it all off.
Start with the "base" layer 1st step FIRST. I initially clicked on "dislike" for the video and started writing a comment of why it was sheeting because you jumped straight to the easy application. But you redeemed yourself by showing the "base" layer method last... Show that first because I initially shook my head that you didn't read the instructions... I've given a thumbs up. But I was close to stopping the video and leaving a negative review of the video.
@@JamieTheCleaner Well it’s kinda derp to start with the wrong methods. If you wanted to test, it would make more sense to test after showing what the product can do if applied as intended? And maybe state that the rinse method is ment to boost the base layer and not as a stand alone method. And the same for the drying aid. But hey, thats my take on it, and i found your take on it, kinda derpy.
@@lazyjacket mr Derp we will agree to disagree but on the updates when the base coat starts to fail I will show how the methods will restore the base coat but that’s in the future just takes time thanks for watching 👍
@@JamieTheCleaner I’m not saying you are wrong to test without the base layer. But it makes more sense to display the baseline for the product first. Then show how the methods works without the base layer. So we have an correct baseline to compare the different applications. Your way is like eating a banana with the peel on and saying the banana tastes bad, and the peel it at saying the banana is yummy in my tummy. I know it will take some time to knock down the baselayer and see how the boosting effect will be one applied with drying aid or spray and rinse down.

Let me guess, you change the oil every 10 years too, wether it needs it or not.....
Very nice video. Thanks for taking the time to post. Seems to be a another great product from the Turtle.
TW's Graphene Flex Wax is my FAVORITE product from their Hybrid Solutions Line!! GREAT stuff!! Makes my car's paint sparkle!! Thanks for posting, though I'm 3 years late seeing this video.😮💨
I use the drying aid method and have exceptional results. I also live in a harsh northern climate
Good video, liked how you showed all three ways of applying. 🐢wax has really stepped up their game.
Thanks 👍 for sure TW really trying to take it to another level

Excellent!! I have these products on order, will be here next week.🙂🐢
Nice 👍
Soft99 fusso coat the king
Base coat application here on my 2017 F-150 a couple months ago. Still holding strong. Lots of tight beads still. Added good gloss as well.
Thanks so much for doing this. I just applied this as a base coat so now I'll be using this flex wax as a drying aid to prevent water spots. Just a little tip: you should add a link to your updated video on this product.
I used it today on a detail .
Easy to use . High gloss .
See if you have or if you can find the misprint on the back of the bottle .
Alright haha 👍
I have this and it works great in terms of super tight water beading and most likely protection. But IMO for $8.99 for seal n shine, you cant beat it.
Agree with seal & shine being out it’s still gonna be tough to recommend the flex or the Max wax 👍
Impressive. Waiting for my kit to arrive.
It’s a really nice kit 👍
So I have a semitruck and can't wait to see how that rinse method holds up.
Report back after you have tried it out
I just tried it on our black 2020 MB Sprinter. The spray and rinse method absolutely sucks. It left horrible streaks that will have to be buffed out.
@@DRTYFN wow that’s not good!
@@DRTYFNgonna need more than that little bottle buddy
For best results use on dry surface and I guess the drying aid option as a maintenance
Would this work well to prevent dust and sea salt sticking to my car in the coastal deserts like malibu and San diego
@ $25 a bottle it goes a long way as a direct applied topper and or base coat - great value.. But as the other 2 suggested wash&dry/rinse applications - no thanks...

Agreed 👍
Well presented video of the application methods. Thanks.
Where is the follow up longevity video link? Thanks

@@justinf9004 appreciate it
Hello. I covered my car with Turtle Wax GRAPHENE Flex Wax. Which hand wash shampoo will support the graphene coating? Thanks for the answer.
Any PH neutral soap or the turtle wax Ceramic Wash and Wax will prolly keep it going the longest
I’m definitely not sold on the spray and rinse method , I see it does work but I’d like to lay down a regular base first. Good video tho.
Agreed I think 303 spray and rinse Sealent is better so far you can achieve beading with that one and thanks!
@@JamieTheCleaner Definitely right on with that. A lot of better options available in the spray and rinse category.
Is there a part 2?
Yea
Hi. Just wondering how the fine print of Max Wax asking one to wait 24 hours before subjecting the coating to water/washing impacted your tests and setup?
Yep even the base coat on the flex wax says to wait 24 hours therefore the video with the base coat water behavior was filmed the next day 👍
I like your video style. Subscribed. Can you describe your prep?
Wash, Clay, Polish, Panel Wipe nice and simple

Is this good for Break dust or what can I use
To clean or prevent dust?
Does this have the ceramic stuff in it?
It supposedly has Sio2 and Pure Graphene
Did you use a wax bar before hand?
Panel was fully prepped before applying Flex Wax with a Wash, Clay, & Polish 👍
4:31 Do you live in the jungle? LOL
🤣
Thanks a million for the video brother. How's it holding up?
New update is posted bout a week ago go check it out 👍
Hello Jamie -- what do you mean by "base coat"? Do you need to apply another product over the FleX wax??
It’s just means your bottom coat of long term protection essentially in this video all three ways I applied we’re base coat because we are testing each of their durability but the first two are meant to be toppers for after a base coat product is applied 👍
Also the product will be at full strength and not diluted from any water on the panel 👍
@@JamieTheCleaner Thanks Jamie. I use the other Turtle Wax Hybrid products on my C8 Stingray. They work great. Should I use this as a base coat to them?
Seal & Shine seems to be Turtle Wax best base coat product so far but further testing is too be done before I can recommend which one is the best for the base coat yet as long as you put down S&S, Ceramic Spray Coating or either Graphene product down first you cant go wrong 👍
After applying it on my car suface, I have found that on some areas paint does not feel smooth to the touch. Is there a way to restore the paint smoothness?
Sounds like paint contamination time for a Claybar treatment 👍🧼🇺🇸
The best way is wiping it into the paint while it's dry and you get great results and rinsing it off is just lazy and you get bad results and wiping it as you dry is still lazy and as it's get mixed with water it becomes diluted and the protection is weak
I’ve got a 2020 XLT that has black plastic handles. Will this product work on that?
Yep 👍
How many times to mention the product in the first 2 minutes?
As many as I want 👍🧼
If spay can be used as a base layer, do I really need Wet Wax?
Flex was can be used as it’s own base and topper 👍
So, what is your favorite car wax?
P&S Bead Maker & Diy Ceramic Gloss
Where is the durability test update?
Aiming for 12 weeks was scheduled for 8 weeks but owner had tested positive for Covid that week so had to reschedule it’s coming
Put soft99 fusso coat on top of it lol
The legend himself thanks for watching! Lol
You’d have to use Fusso as the base coat. The Flex should in theory stick. Just how long is the question.
THIS WAX JUST TOOK ALL THE METAL FLAKE OUT OF MY DADS PANAMERA, TURNED THE PAINT FROM BRIGHT BLUE, TO ALMOST A DULL BLACK!!!!!!!! IT IS SHINY, BUT HE'S REALLY MAD!!
Are you saying it straight up ate through the clear coat and damaged the paint beneath it?
@@mulletman012 It seems to have put a coating over the metal flake, washing seems to bring it back a little bit, gonna take several washes to get it all off.
Huh
@@JamieTheCleaner Yeah we washed a few times, like 1/10 of the metal flake is showing now, dad us mad, and turle wax giving him the run around!
First application is supposed to be on dry paint tho

Give it a thumbs down anyway 👎
You got some PISSED OFF squirrels in your neighborhood.
😂 there is one about the size of a cat and is missing his tail they all may be rabid 🤷🏻♂️😂
@@JamieTheCleaner Well he was sure giving you a piece of his mind, lol.
Derp!
U need to add the base layer first.
Why start the wrong way of doing thongs?
Base layer first, and maintain with method 1&2 by your book. Lord.
Correct we were testing if doing the topper methods first actually applied any protection so derp right back at ya
