I discovered the turtlewax ceramic spray just before winter hit. First time I've used anything other than old school wax or sealants and I could not believe how good it is.

The 1 year protection claims are nonsense, it was more like 4 or 5 months but that was on our daily driver that saw road salt every day. I think the most I've ever gotten from wax was maybe 3 months.

Things certainly have moved on. I'll never wax a car again.

Interesting. I've got some 'wet wax' in the garage but have never used it, as was a bit worried about the panels drying too quickly on their own before I had chance to finish a panel. Am I right in thinking that the wax mixes with the water, you dry the water off which leaves the wax in place?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I’m using that ceramic wash & wax and it is certainly easy, just add to water, wash car with one of those hedgehog type mittens and rinse of and the beads form as you rinse. If I didn’t have hardish water I’m sure I wouldn’t need to towel dry afterwards.

Beading doesn't really work for me - I want the water to sheet off so it doesn't dry and leave dust spots all over the car.

I use the wash and then you are supposed to spray the coating on wet panels and wipe dry with drying towel...works well for me :thumbsup:
