- Is Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax better than the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Sealant?
Today I test out the Flex Wax on a Ferrari 812 Superfast and see how it performs on its paintwork plus see how it bonds to PPF & Paint (paint protection film)
Will it Bond??? ✅ or ❌ Lets find out...

I also carry out a very basic maintenance valet. We also discuss if you need graphene coatings for your business. and if they make much difference to ceramic spray coatings. Plus you get to see a truly special Supercar with a sneak peak of the 812 Exhaust Sound. A full Turtle Wax Flex Wax Review will come later in the year along with One & Done Compound.

After this past winter, I was a convert to Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray. It lasted 7 months through the winter with salt, brine, snow and ice with no maintenance or even washing. I found that by bypassing the instructions to spray directly on the panel and wipe in with a microfiber cloth and instead, applying the product directly to a small hand-applicator and gently "working it into the paint," in small areas, then buffing it off before it hazed gave me better, more even coverage, NO smearing or streaking and left a solid coating on the car. 24 hours later, I would apply a second coat to the car (as recommended by Turtle Wax) for maximum protection. This process led to the impressive durability through an Ohio (USA) winter.
I have since switched to the TW Graphene Spray and applied it as I did with the Ceramic. I felt the Graphene product was easier to use and even with my method, which should use more product than the 'Spray on, buff of' method, I used less than 2 ounces to complete the 2 coats, which included paint, glass, headlights, tail lights and trim.
Fast forward 48 hours, after the second coat had cured for 24, and I saw that the Graphene left a darker, richer, much more glossy and slick finish than the Ceramic on my black paint. I have been on vacation, so the car has had over 100 hours to cure in the garage, untouched. I look forward to seeing how well it holds up compared to the Ceramic.
how's it holding up thus far?
Yeah, what’s the result?
any update?
@@HydraDnB Yeah, what up man ! 😇
Don M how long has the graphene lasted?
I use the Turtle Wax graphene spray as a touchup. But for the initial wax after buffing I use the TW graphene “to the max” from Turtle Wax. It has been absolutely wonderful. I have been waxing vehicles since the mid-1960s and this is the best thing that I have found. I put it on Using a 5 inch DA with a RUPES polishing pad and do about 3‘ x 3‘ area. I move to a different area and do a similar size and then to a third area and another similar size. And then I go back with a damp cloth (about 4 or 5 minutes later) and wipe off the haze and then follow it with a polishing towel. Then I go do another area and come back and catch the second area and so forth like that. I let it sit for 24 hours and repeat. The results are absolutely amazing and people look at 10 year old cars and say they look as good as new. I have to agree. As to the cost the bottle of the to the max turtle wax flex wax is about $28 and with that one bottle I can do two coats on three vehicles and a 28 foot RV and still have a little left. I think it’s an absolutely wonderful product And will continue to use it. FWIW I have been having great results using RUPES DA Course and Fine using their medium yellow wool pads. I don’t think TW’s graphene products are a gimmick or overpriced.
Nice to see a detailing video that isn't 45 minutes long 😃👍. Just tried the TW Ceramic Graphene Paste Wax and waiting to see how durable that is. Looks good so far. I do like a spray wax though - easy to apply for a burst of extra protection.
Thank you 🙏 I'm more of a spray sealant over a wax but then wax does look incredible
Nice.....very nice, we have a fully PPF coated 812 on our books, which we applied at the start of last year, always a pleasure to do these cars....and as you say, once they are protected and you get to do them regular , it’s a breeze.👍🇮🇲. I’m a Graphene convert, having tried pretty much every new “in thing” that’s arrived over the last few years.👍
Would be nice to hear an advice from a “detail freak” like you. I wanted a paint correction with IGL ceramic with 5y durability, but some things happened in life and I want some cheaper option. I still need the paint correction and afterwards applying the protection myself - max 50€ per year, easy to apply and lasting at least 3 months and re-apply without another polish. Which product would you recommend? Something like Flex Wax or Ceramic spray coating from TW?
Love the little dash of humour in between ☺️.
BELL ENDS ON FACEBOOK 😂😂 Brilliant mate. Happy Easter pal 😎
Happy Easter too mate 😁
Another great video Dave.... we 🖤 it. Thanks for featuring Glass Armour and Alloy Armour 🙌
Thanks mate. Happy to share any time I use it 🙌
@@epicautomotivedetailing - First of all, thank you for the very pleasant and informative uploads.
My opinion about the CERAMIC spray is that it is not pleasant to use, it makes a lot of stains on Carbon Black BMW paint.
On the other hand, I have been using the Sealant spray for months now and this one is a pleasure. Regardless of when it dries to a mirror-smooth surface.
I have now ordered the 3 in 1 and the Max Wax is ready for use, I am curious about the results.
I will not venture into the Flex Wax for the time being, possibly in the future.
A Belgian.
Love your video's, down to earth and they help so much for someone just starting out. I've tried many products for waxing ( experimenting ) on my wife's smart car ( small and easy to test out new products ) and I've found that different products work differently on the year/color and material your car is made of ( smart car is mainly plastic ) they all do a good job, but different circumstances call for different products as you so project across to all your viewers. I find that one wax is good on one car but not the next car ( different color ) Keep up the good work mate, and thanks for taking time out to make video's.
Thanks John appreciate you taking the time to message 🙏
Another Epic Video Dave, Cheers
Thank you mate 🙏
Keep up the good work mate!! ✅
Thanks mate 😃
I used it this morning on my truck over a hand wax and it was stunning.
Yeah to be fair I d brilliant
Did you see any smudges that within 15 minutes disappeared?
Another great video Dave and I especially loved the cheeky nod to blue steel at 04:10😂
I think it's too early to call it for graphene yet as there's no longevity tests that are worthwhile.
Agreed mate. I hated this video lost so much footage was gutted. Wasn't even going to be a tw video lol.
Using this as a base coat and using the Artdeshine Graphene detailer is a good setup. Lay down the Flex Wax first and begin maintaining bi weekly washes with the Artdeshine Nano Gloss Paint sealant or the Graphene detailer. It’ll look good and feel Uber slick all year long especially if he washes the car at least twice a month and begin his monthly maint.
Yeah my customers have now got on board and use it for a regular top up every 2-3months
Great video Dave, I use the TW graphine flex wax on my skoda and it's great, it's amazing to see the shampoo on the car after because it's like the flex wax is trying to disipate the shampoo as you are washing the car, I'm still waiting for halfords to get the graphene and ceramic paste wax in 👍👍👍
The Graphene Wax is the one for me if i had to pick one!
Great video pal
Thank you 🙏
I’m loving this TW graphine, I like to apply when panel is slightly wet then dry. It’s great on windows too. Can also apply to inside windows to help with foggy glass.
great tip havent tried it on glass yet
Is it more durable than the ceramic solutions?
Purchased this direct from turtle wax for £14.99 with free delivery and its brilliant easy to apply easy to remove and the gloss finish is great, highly recommend
Great to hear!
I have given this product a good amount of time to prove itself with me and it definitely has. It fits my application because I have a sport bike with a lot of surface geometry and what I use has to be easy. This is about the easiest product and it is matched by durability that is way above average. I think it might even be more durable than seal and shine. Turtle Wax has definitely stepped up their game.
Absolutely mate. If it works for you then great. Not sure why so many people hate it. It does its job well
I believe it is a stigma with Turtlewax. I cannot say it any plainer than that. So it is Turtlewax. I am thrilled about it! It protects my paint in the hot Texas sun and the equally harsh Texas fallout conditions. Bravo on them!
Do like and ceramic products and they always work well. I havnt tryd any graphene product yet, but i probs will sometime. Another great vid mate👍👍
Cheers Paul. Its great but to the untrained eye your hardly see much difference
I’ve gone all in with the turtle wax graphene and the graphene and ceramic paste wax is brilliant.
Nice one it's very good but I think people just genuinely dislike turtle Wax because of the products not being the best back in the 90s
Great video and amazing car. Just detailed my Z4. Finished it off with TW graphene ceramic paste wax and topped it off with the flex wax. Best gloss ever in my experience. Will see how long it's lasts but do plan on using the flex wax every other wash. Wash my car weekly.
Yes I 100% agree the graphene paste wax is something special based on first impressions
The FLEX Wax over the 75th Anniversary Paste is amazing. Made the paint on my flat red GTI look glazed.
The tumbnail of turtle wax going on a Ferrari was enough for me. Nice and refreshing to see affordable products doing the job well.
Thank you
A few years back we didn’t care what was in a product. We had waxes and sealants and got excited about ones that gave excellent results. Now everyone seems obsessed with whether it’s got ceramic, graphene, kryptonite or ground rhino horn etc. These ingredients don’t necessarily equate to great results or a nice user experience!
Yeah Its become out of control and the community has become quite toxic. Not all of it. Have to say though the graphene paste wax is incredible been testing it out on regular clients cars and it's been a real favourite with them
@@epicautomotivedetailing Will definitely try it out. Some people have put the Flex Wax over it as a topper. Would you recommend it?
@@MrPomelo555 what you end up doing?
@@dnegel9546 No, haven’t tried it.
Hello I would like some of your ground rhino horn wax please
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. Definitely sold on the whole TW Pro line. I sold three TW 75 wax, a month after restoring the paint and then coating. Actually, it was my first client who decided on the TW 75 wax that loved it so much that he referred two buddies and now they are all on their way to the finish line. Thanks, graphene, smashene, technene, I don't care what it's called, I am no scientist, just a consumer and service provider. If clients want it, then I want it for them and as long as it does a great job I'm a happy
Did you make good Upsells? Just curious. the wax is amazing i got amazing results from it
Actually the TW75 was the upsell, that and CeraKote. Those were good sales for me. Love your show. 👍✝️🐉
@@nicksdragon6929 nice one yeah decent waxes make great upsells that's for sure
Hi Dave, great video,nice looking car to detail,just the car itself is sexy LOL,the Turtle Wax Graphene wax,beads very well in the video.
Thanks Steven it's great stuff but still not sure if this one is a huge step up from the ceramic
I pretty much only use ceramic sprays now on my car. I had been using Zaino bros for close to 20 years but the spray wax/polishes have come such a long way and they actually last a decent amount of time and so easy to apply (another reason I liked zaino). I have not tried Graphene yet, but will be picking up some soon.
Your not missing that much with graphene. Yes its brilliant but then so is most ceramic sprays
Evening Dave
Try a can of pledge furniture polish it gives a great shine and beads as good as this stuff does , happy easter
Nice job Dave great looking car
Thank you 🙏
I went the Graphene way on my Benz (CLS); used Turtle Wax Ceramic/Graphene wax, and then applied the Graphene Flex wax. What an amazing finish!
Hi John. Yeah it's great just costly at moment
@@epicautomotivedetailing Do you mean it’s costly for Detailers to do the job for clients?
@@johnhoey4605 Just compared to some other products. Its alright for my budget and clients but anything over £18 price on average tends to be out of most peoples reach for a spray.
@John Hoey what color if your car? Did you notice any "smudges" while applying the spray? I swear there were smudges when i 1st applied that went away within 15 minutes. I did it in the sun, and at certain angles i could see smudges, is the best way to describe it
@@aquamayne8168 My Benz is Magnetite Black-which a deep metallic gray. Those “smudges” are high spots where a little too much product was used. You can use a microfiber towel dampened with water to quickly remove them. Alternatively, I use a spritz of Waterless Detailer. Either way, it’s easy to overdue the product, and easy to resolve.
Cheers for the video Dave - really enjoyed it mate.
That graphene spray certainly seems to have good hydrophobic qualities and gloss levels. However, I do wonder how Turtle Wax can justify the price difference compared to their hydrophobic sealant wax which seems to give similar results.
Thanks Karl. Yeah it's too much money. I tried some very affordable ceramic sealants which have been excellent recently. Thanks for watching mate 🙏
@@epicautomotivedetailing Which ones, for instance? 🤔
Graphene. Just ordered my first product with it in it. I was not sure about ceramics before i tried them. i'll give it a go and see how it works out.
Mate it's brilliant. Ignore the hater's who say it's snake oil. The graphene paste wax is one of the best I've ever used
Great video David.
Ive not tried any tge graphene products yet but tbh not in much of a hurry either. Like you said they'll be another new product mknths down the line.
I'll stick the the products im currently using as mosy of my customers wont give to hoots unless there really into there motors
Too right mate. If it works don't change it 👌
Hello from Montreal! I've enjoyed the two videos I've watched of yours tonight and have subscribed. You popped up after watching someone else on Turtle Wax's new graphene waxes and I'm persuaded. I liked their Ice spray wax years ago, especially how it so easily blackened plastic trim. Now I'm going to buy one of this new series, probably the spray-on Flex. I live in a condo and one of the rules for the garage is we can't wash our cars there so I'll have to rely on a drive-through car wash and I hope that will do because I'm eager to try this apparently revolutionary product and don't want to wait until I get to my winter house in Mexico where I have a proper driveway, so I'll buy the wax, go to the car wash and then rush straight back home to give it a go. Thanks for your enthusiasm about the Max version, as it will be my second choice.
Thank you so much for subscribing really appreciate it 🙏
Make sure it’s touchless and that it’s thoroughly dry when you leave. I don’t see what’s wrong with doing rinseless wash at your apartment instead...
@@jmoneyosh As it happens, it is touchless. But the garage floor would always be wet if we were allowed to wash our cars there, so I guess it's fair...
Go habs go.
Great video! Been thinking of trying this out, keep us up to date with how long it lasts!
It's alright. It looks good and sheets well enough but doesn't make me stop and say wow. Some ceramic sprays have done though
@@epicautomotivedetailing what would you recommend insetad
@@seanmcandrew7363 Griots 3 in 1 ceramic wax
afternoon Dave ceramic for me just had mine done and the results are amazing would recommend to anyone wanting long lasting protection .
Hi Mick was it Turtle Wax ceramic spray?
@@epicautomotivedetailing hi Dave no mate sorry i should of said i had it done for me at staffordshire car care it as the gyeon mohs ceramic coating on it washing the car is a dream to do now as you would probably know on some of the nice cars you work on .
👀👀👀 this is like my dream motor
Great video fella I got some pound land snow foam the other day, what can I say about it 🤔 well It was only a pound 😂, if you do get a chance to try a new product I would like to hear what you think of the Lucas quick mist range I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now and I’m really impressed 3 products for all of your car inside and out, keep up the great work 👏🏻
I heard about the snow foam. Need to add that to the Poundland video before I publish it lol
Loving the TW graphene range. Have ended up buying the entire collection. Even the scents they’ve choose are great. Smells much more sophisticated than the usual fruity smells.
Fantastic products but i wouldnt recommending sniffing them ⚠️
@@epicautomotivedetailing lol i mean the scent they've chosen for the interior sprays like the leather mist and inside job haha
Is this flex wax to use after every wash? Or a stand alone protection
Would you think it would go on better by spraying onto microfibre block applicator, then buff off or not. As I'm genuinely interested in getting some of this. Cheers.
I used a cloth and it was fine mate
Hello. You can help with advice. I covered the TW graphene flex wax machine. To increase the shine and depth of color, can I additionally coat it with TW seal & shine after washing the car. Would that make any sense?
To be honest seal and shine alone is good enough for most people and it's easier too
What vacuum were you using in this video?
How do you get insurance to move peoples cars. Does that come on your own vehicle insurance policy or does it come with your car valeting business insurance?
Morning Dave great video , i heard it's got unicorn poo and dragons pee in it ! Honestly ! seen it on the net ! lol . Not for me, just done Pyramid 2 year ceramic on my car , spent the last 2 days decon, clay and machine polish turned out great . Have good day and happy easter to you and yours . All the best :)
Fake news mate it's dolphin tears 🤣 happy Easter my friend
I thought towels scratched the clear coat? I use a blower and get all the water off with that. Can you explain?
Bro your content is awesome. I’m following your channel a few months now and I’m surprised u have only 25k subs. I have a question… how much of Flex Wax u used per coat on a car in ml? Would me last a bottle a year?
Thanks mate. I use very little. To be honest I've finished a bottle and won't be buying more as there are so many other products out there that blew my mind. Odk solo is one of them
Looks good Dave, guess another one I’ve got to try, soon I’ve gotta stop buying so many different products and stick with a few, how do you manage that challenge? Looking forwards to the next vids cheers
It's a habit the amount of money I spend is crazy. Fortunately some get given. Got new videos coming that actually are about cars not Cleaning so will be a huge break from the norm
@@epicautomotivedetailing Glad it’s not just me then. Get Dad out cleaning and you do the product shopping! Looking forward to car vids too, thx
Hi Epic, Quick question for you.. I dont have a supercar, just a small Honda Jazz and was wondering if can only use by itself the TW Flex wax spray, without any other products? I mostly looking to prevent rust on the car's body? Thank you mate!
Yeah to be fair it's ok. Is it the best? no, but will it give your car a nice finish and medium durability yes 100%
How does this compare the Sonax Ceramic spray coating?
I like Si02 a lot. However, I think graphene formulated products will be perfected over time and will dominate the market in a few years. I like and use graphene products already. The future for graphene looks very bright!
Thanks for watching Mark. I give it 2 years and there will be something newer. The technology is getting exciting to see. Hopefully it doesnt have a major impact on health though
Hi mate. After applying the flex do i still use a ceramic detailer for light dust and dirt?
Do you mean a waterless wash?
What a brill video. To be honest I've only tried one grahpene infused product, infinity wax Graphene QDX, it can be finicky to work with but once technique is sorted, it works quite well and helps with water spots.......... does this mean I'm going to buy graphene infused wax and loads of other graphene infused products? In a word no as there is already a saturated enough market with really great stuff out there, for example I really like Sonax high speed wax, a staple of mine for many years I keep going back to. I think graphene does not bring enough to the detailing market to make me a convert at present, if it is further studied, refined and applied, maybe but for now I will stick with stuff like the sonax high speed wax, yum cars ceramic and GT 2 Sigma and qd just to name a few.
Yeah there is so many out there now and it looks like more is coming. For me they all do a great job. Loved the graphene wax have to say that did get my attention. Got go ahead to document a full day at one of the UK's largest hand carwashes in few months which should be good fun to film
yeah, if I'm not paying £18 for the ceramic spray, I'm defo not paying £30 for the graphene. End of :) I'll stick with the origonal TW hybrid sealant and dry n shine. Good vid as always :)
I agree it's but too much for what it is. I think they should make smaller bottles and group all the graphene products together in a bundle
@@epicautomotivedetailing Maybe, but my final thought is that there is already a product which is its own base coat and maintenance product with spray and rinse. Meguiars hybrid ceramic wax. and coming in at £18 I'm more likely to buy this over TW, purely due to pricing. TW Pro, more like TW no :0
@@peemick yeah man i still use ceramic wax now and then. Im loving waxes at the moment now British weather getting better
What’s your impression of the gloss improvement with this product?
Hi matey do you thing it will do business ie yourself out of money ie the cermic coating side where you could charge a ton for this services. Great video as always.
Very good point Lee. Sometimes it's easier to offer this every 3-4 months instead of a coating every few years. I always do upsells with ceramic sprays or waxes
This Graphene wax took/covered the metal flake on my dad's Panamera!
I've been using ceramic recently, love the sheer glossy and smooth to touch finish. I think though you kind of get the same sheeting from the carnauba paste waxes and quick detailers. I've spoke to clients about the graphene technology and how it the future but I think it's over there heads, most just think Polish wax shampoo and yellow sponges are the same thing I'd go as far they think that the long pole brush is still a good option 😂
Lol that's true. They won't care most of the time. To be honest I can't see huge difference. But it is still amazing stuff
I applied this tw graphene today, and i kept seeing smudges in the right sunlight. It was pissing me off!! So then i just said fk it and did a quick pass over the whole car. By the time i got back to the front of the car the smudges that were on the hood were now gone! It was my 1st time, but ill definitely give it another chance and be more patient if i see smudges
Damp towel it mate. then follow with dry clean one. Yeah it's very annoying
The graphene looks quicker to apply and gives a very glossy finish compared to ceramics
It's easy but only slightly easier. Graphene wax was one that I liked the most
im interested in using this product... but does this damage the paint and/or clear coat in the long run?
It seems all good no damage long term 🙌
The Turtle stuff looks great in the beginning. (talking about the ceramic version here) but I have gone off it. It just won't last. Back to old school past wax again.
Paste wax is incredible my friend
Looks good mate but at the moment I’m sticking with ceramic and all of my stuff is autoglym, anyway my wife has now finished her 8 rounds of chemotherapy and we have surgery the end of this month , so like your dad said to me, now for the next stage keep positive and keep going, hows he doing he’s not popped into any shots lately, and hows your mum, 👍
Hope your wife's ok mate 🙏. My mum's all good. She's fully recovered has been for many years. We had some free car cleaning chemicals to send your way. We mentioned in one of your comments. You can DM me mate and I'll sort them for u
@@epicautomotivedetailing that’s great news about your mum, forgot to say about your top gear trip we’ve been on the show twice, once in 2005 I think and we saw Hammonds accident first and then at RAF base when the Bugatti raced the new typhoon, I was signed in as the Stig on camp and spent the day signing autographs, I did race karts many years ago and I was in seniors and Lewis was in juniors so used to talk to him and his dad
Anyway sorry to go on do you need my address

@@epicautomotivedetailing hi mate 7 maplewood close ng31 8gy
It must be you, Dave. I never get streaks from either the Graphene or the ceramic sprays from Turtle Wax. That said, I lay a base of their 75th Anniversary ceramic Graphene paste wax. It's excellent, so I use the flex wax like a quick detailer on top of that.
Thoughts on the ceramic/graphene paste wax from the turtle?
Yes it's incredible 👌 I've revisited the Merc I applied it to in graphene paste wax video and the water flew off
@@epicautomotivedetailing Awesome. I've been wanting to get some of it. I enjoy hand waxing no pun intended lol.
Thanks for the helpful videos
Hi, found this channel last day and saw some of your videos. I have a question, for what I see basically you wash cars at home, or in the customer's driveway. How does black water legislation work and how is it regulated in England? For example, here where I live in Italy you could not wash your car at home even if it is private property unless a water purification system is installed. How does it work in England? Because according to Italian law a business system like yours without a specific place and that is done at home would not be possible in Italy.
But you can’t eat much better in Italy. 😄
Sorry what 😳 You cannot wash your own car at your own home in Italy? That's news.
What if you do and you are caught? What are the consequences?
@@fredyph30 Yes, in Italy, according to the traffic laws you cannot wash your car, both on a public road and on private property. Or better to say that you can but you must "Avoid that the water discharges end up on public land or that the waste water pollutes the environment" (citing the law). So in reality you could do it but with products that do not pollute, or equip your business or home with a purification system.
As a consequence I imagine there may be a fine.
However my comment was related to a possible business, I, like many other people, almost always wash the car at home and I've never been told anything. If the police see you, I think they turn a blind eye in these cases.
The problem is when you open a company and earn from that. I imagine that in these cases you are subjected to frequent checks and you must somehow declare how the water is purified. The only thing that exists in Italy that I had heard of is a type of startup where the car is washed on the street but through a "dry cleaning" without using water, but I think it has nothing to do with detailing.
What soap did u use to clean it with
Yum Wash is my number one shampoo
I'm still waiting to try the 75th TW but everywhere is sold out 😖
They are discontinuing the 75th anniversary edition but rebranding it as a graphene paste wax still
I’ll be sticking to the good old normal wax, I’m not being sucked in by the hype 😁
Very true hype is definitely in motion. Stick with what you know 👌
@@epicautomotivedetailing I’ve just tried the new gyeon wax. Looks fantastic on my focus rs in ultimate green. Definitely better and slicker than the turtle wax ceramic spray. I’ve found my products and it’s gyeon 👍👌
@@adyg8221 been looking at that myself, love the packaging reminds me of a roll on 😁
@@p8rdm fantastic wax mate highly recommended. Only put it on Tuesday so don’t no about how long it lasts but it looks so good and feels smooth as mate

I'm trying the 303 graphene out on a metallic black seat ibiza at the minute, customer is over the moon with the gloss and he says it doesn't get dirty as quick. Also I'm trying the flex wax on a nardo grey Audi RS3 saloon this Thursday, should be an interesting one.
Hi there,
I bought some 303 Graphene from slims wanted to try it out.
Will try it on one of my own cars first before I use it on a customers car.
What was it like.
@@viperautovalet4479 really easy to apply but a little grabby to remove. The overall outcome is there's loads of gloss and quite slick ( not as slick as Garage Therapies Sigma) it also has a slight filling on very minor scratches on the paint work. The only part of the car i didn't put it on was the windscreen as it had gtechnic c1 on it, but the rear and sides are looking good and we're 1 month in so far!
This is good but I think people will be put off by the price tag the graphene wax for me was immense
I've not tried 303 yet. Think I need to use up more products first before I buy
@@epicautomotivedetailing ok 👌 thanks for the reply and info.
Graphene all the way
Fair play I did like this one but gone back on to sio2 sprays
Hi Dave, great to see another Epic Car Show video. Keep them coming. However, I’m getting confused by the number of products we have now. Correct me if I’m wrong but, it was 1. wash first, 2. clay bar, then 3. polish (to remove swirls, minor scratches etc), then 4. wash again to clear the polish, then add a 5. glaze (optional; which don’t work on white or silver cars), then a protection/shiny gloss product of your choice. 5a. Sealant = Synthetic wax (last 2-6 months) or 5b. Wax; paste or liquid (lasts 1-3 months). Now we have Ceramic wax = ceramic + wax combo (lasts??) or Ceramic: spray or coating (lasts 1-7 years), now Graphene; graphene + wax combo (lasts??) The way I see it, if you add a ceramic or graphene product you don’t clay bar it, as it will remove that nice new product. But why do Graphene or ceramic products need a top up if they are any good? And do you just wash your car with shampoo if you have ceramic spray or coating or graphene coat on top of your clear coat. I really want minimum effort, maximum results. I’m all for new products, fancy names, (sealants should be called synthetic waxes, as I put sealants around my bath to keep the water out) but sometimes too much choice/products causes more problems in deciding.
Yeah man I hear ya, for me you can make do with compound, polish, wax , sealants and ceramic coatings . The Market is getting crazy now so many companies too
I’m sticking with fusso
Can't beat Fusso. To be fair i revisited the car i did the graphene paste wax on and it looked amazing and worked well on revisit
Graphene, mmmm, not sure about the durability vs extra cost so ill wait for a while.
Nice job by the way 👍
Good call. I used plenty of great ceramic sprays which do the job 👌
@@epicautomotivedetailing Speaking of which, have you compared TW’s Graphene Flex Wax to their Hybrid Ceramic spray? I’ve tried both and I thought the first is more viscous and harder to apply (not all that much) but provides more beading and sheeting, whilst the second one seems more liquid and seems to stick on less and perform a tad less better.
Do you use mad we'd and other turtle product before flex wax?
to be honest if i was to machine polish a car first id probably not use this altogether as there are better alternatives
@@epicautomotivedetailing I am planning to use 3 m rubbing compund first then 3 m polish after that flex wax
can this be used on wheels as well?
yes 100%
Just ordered the ceramic to try. Arhhh
Ceramic is great. Just don't use it in direct sunlight or hot temperatures. I made a video on how to apply it the best way
@@epicautomotivedetailing yeah. I’ve seen your video. The car was ceramic coated a couple of years ago so I’m hoping this will act as a top up. But I might clay at it first.
Yeah give it a clay and compound 👌
What about baby wipes for quick wiping down of the car?
I wouldn't risk it if I'm honest
They are made for wiping asses. Not cars.
I think graphene is a bit of a gimmick right now to be honest.
Jason at Chicago Auto Pro's did a great research video which shows that, right now, graphene-infused products make absolutely no difference to ceramic-infused products. Sometimes they are even worse.
Agree the ceramic sprays are plenty good enough. I think people just want something that goes beyond perfection.
Where is the poundland video Dave ? been waiting for ages now and the picasso is gagging to be cleaned. Good vid tho keep it up
It's coming mate it's not a 1 location film. Had loads of locations so just one more segment to finish then it's live 🙌
@@epicautomotivedetailing good man coz me and her indoors like a bit of poundland lol
I'm a ceramic coating guy, im not ready for the graphine hype yet
I like it so far. I'll let u know in 6 months how the cars got on
@@epicautomotivedetailing can't wait
You need pay as much attention to the underside also.
Graphene is absolutely a marketing gimmick. No one has the technology yet to apply a proper layer of real graphene onto the paint of a car. Ceramic coat is real and it's good if you can afford it. Sprays and waxes are okay but one has to apply it much more frequently but in my opinion they are worth it because they are comparatively cheap and self application is possible saving money.
Yeah I can't see any extra benefits from it. Mind you it is a very good product but not mind blowing
👌🏻🤩👍🏻
What vac do you use
Charles wet vac my friend
Turtle wax graphine to the max wax is the nest I have ever seen the spray is great but no where near as good as the liquid wax (more work)
Love ya Dave, but you've been distracted by the car.
Not enough review of whether it's any good (watch your Meguiars Ceramic video - twice the content in half the time).
Could you do another review?
(And didn't that V12 sound bad? Nothing like the throaty rumble of a V8 Jaguar.)
Lol to be honest the video wasn't going to be a turtle wax one. It was supposed to be a clean up video but half the footage corrupted so out something together. But yes I get you. I been using it now for a while and it's brilliant
@@epicautomotivedetailing I'm doing my first big clay, polish and wax soon, so I'm keen to find something that'll do the maintenance.
With lockdown, low-skillers like me can get something a bit better quality.
Over the last year I've upgraded on espresso, sourdough and exercise.
I suspect there's a big market for someone credible like you to take things like this mass market.
Dude is washing a clean car haha
Easy money thats Why I'm rich
Epic
Thanks mate
@@epicautomotivedetailing hi Dave XMAS25 code doesn't work at alien (website moves so fast will give you migraine) magic for the snow foam. Just wondering if expired or typo thank you
GRAPHENE all the way, been using it for a while. I don't know why you felt the need to get it wet should have waited at least 24 hours. Oh well, it's your show
People always demand the rinse afterwards to see the effects regardless sadly
People ask a lot of questions and ask me to do a lot of things I answer all of their questions, but I won't do anything that is not the best thing for their cars finish. Part of our job is to make them understand what we're doing and why. 😄
i will just stick to my fusso coat, for the price and performance nothing comes close
I Love Fusso
@@epicautomotivedetailing good results though it is a bucket of chemicals. Personally won't use...
We all have choices.
Pete as usual a pleasure watching your videos you have made a very valid point me personally cracking graphene graphene sorry did I say Once Again graphene graphene graphene Jesus Christ it seems to be the ultimate word out there at the present moment but nobody really knows the long-term effects will it last will it not is it just snake oil we all in the ideal world I've got to give It 6 months now I've used soft99 easy 8 months to 12-months spray and shine buy turtle Wax definitely 6-months with ,,,a slide maintenance ,,, the ceramic coating by turtle Wax total dogshit and the new turtle Wax ceramic and graphene in fused wax £30 a tab apparently Batman uses it the Batmobile it deflects bullets as well🤣😂😁 we want long-term real-world testing is, done I'll give it to the end of September as usual paid great great video PS buddy what strip wash do you recommend
Hate to say it but Graphene is on its way for many brands. Can't see it coming to end now. Ive even seen graphene shampoo. As for snake oil i think its 99% Dolphin tears lol. In all fairness its very good and it goes on better than the ceramic spray coating they made. Im chuffed with it but still its too soon to say if i love it. The wax on the other hand just made the car POP. I used Adams Strip Wash
@@epicautomotivedetailing thanks for the advice ok Adams it is I will give it to the end of September before I make a decision snake oil or no snake oil😅😆🤣,,, PS have you now heard they are experimenting with Kevlar yes kevlar infused waxes it is no joke I think the world is going mad ,,soft99 incredible stuff once again buddy thank you
@@diljithayre9379 broccoli 🥦 will be the next big thing. Have you tried rinsing with that under the tap lol. The repellency is mad
GRAPHENE 100%
Ceramic ❤️
I’ve finally got a 2 coat ceramic process my clients love so i can’t see me moving to graphemes just yet. Another expense can’t be justified right now.
I agree. Honestly nothing wrong with ceramic. It works it does the job 💪
In Detail. Would you explain your Ceramic coatig process to me? Do you wash the car, clay bar, strip down paint clean, polish, then ceramic coat? Whats your process and price?
@@aquamayne8168 Hi Austin,. It really depends on what I find on the pre-wash walk around and first pressure rinse. I did a two week old Porsche Macan Turbo last week that only needed a light, but thorough polish with CarPro Essence as a gloss enhancer and primer after an initial wipe down with CarPro Eraser. This was as I was laying down 2 coats or CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0 and would mean no IPA wipe down after polishing. The owner was amazed that I had it looking better than when t was in the showroom. I finished with a sacrificial coat of CarPro Reload with in the hour of laying down the second coat as per the instructions. If I was going to ceramic my own car right now, it would be very different. A heavy pre-strip wash with CarPro Lift or NV Snow+ both foam and contact and assess the water sheeting and beading. Apply CarPro Iron X or NV Purity and massage into paint with a compatible open weave clay towel. This carries out both steps of recontamination at the same time. Pressure rinse or maybe contact wash again or foam and contact wash again with NV Snow+ or similar. Assess. I will probably use a microfibre polishing pad on my Shine Mate cordless 3” and 5” polishers supported by similar on my SPTA Ibrid copy. This is the task where if you rush it you will need to start again. Take your time and using CarPro Essence or more probably Fixer, remove the remaining ceramic, swirls and scratches. Try to finish with Essence as it acts as a great primer for CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0. There are other chemical companies products you can use, but I have found my best go to is CarPro. I am experimenting at the moment with KochChemie as I have a supplier in Sydney here that is giving me amazing price/litre deals. I hope this males sense and helps. Lloyd
I'll stay with seal and shine 🤣
To be honest you may aswell. But then again so many better products out there
Ceramic all the way
Yeah this spray was great but to the human eye you can't tell the difference
I wondered where you had been. I thought you was in prison for hanging around street corners trying to sell little bags of graphene! Car looks good but to be honest, I'd say 99% of customers dont care if you've applied graphene or graphite as long as the car looks good when you've finished. I think the days of Barbara from the local cafe phoning for a graphene coating on her Nissan Micra are quite a way off yet.
Love this lol. So true I've always said average Joe doesn't care what it is or where it's came from. As long as it looks good and does the job
@@epicautomotivedetailing yeah, most people just want a clean car. Its normally only the classic car owners and prestige car owners that ask about specific products in my experience anyway. I'll tell you what I have recently invested in, a retractable hose reel for the pressure washer. Its so easy now just being able to pull out 20m of hose and put it back away in seconds without all the swearing and kinking and twisting, expensive though, 400 quid but a few friends that have them say it's the best thing they ever bought. Ideally I'd like one for the vac next then im not lifting anything out of the van other than chemical etc.
When I seen the title I was hoping for more information on the actual product and not 75% on car washing.
Did another video on it
Ceramic
Morning-graphene is already “old” oi oi
Yeah I've not used it since lol
