It's not going to last as long as the real stuff, but it's one hell of a lot better than any wax I've ever used and a hell of a lot cheaper than ceramic. Besides, I like to detail my own car.

Not bad for two weeks after the application and a drive out in the rain.

I have all of them at this point. For this I did a wash, clay bar, rubbing compound, the hybrid polish, and then the hybrid spray after 24 hrs in the garage. I used the detailing spray over the weekend but that's all since.

On my wife's car I've only used the wash and spray wax just to have a go with it, and it's pretty good. I need to do a full paint correction on her car though, and was thinking about finally buying a polisher instead of just a buffer, but then I impulse bought some heavily discounted speakers on Amazon. So I'll likely wait.

Turtle wax was a go-to back in the day but then did slip to Walmart-grade* as partly a victim of their own success. It's good to see they're again at the forefront with this hybrid-ceramic product, which is much easier to apply than a costly pro ceramic and of more than adequate duration for most. I'm still using up my other stock but will now consider vs. Griot's & Mothers' similar ceramic. Thanks.

*Walmart in my area is significantly improved the past few years so that moniker is a bit unfair of me.

I may try the Adams ceramic kit in the spring. It's got a UV light to help with even coating. I want to thoroughly investigate first before going with a proper ceramic, though.

I watced a couple of videos on that product, done by pros...Very positive reviews!
My favorite comparison professional amateur.
tl;dr Hybrid Solutions FTW (that's the Turtle)

Edit: I should say I happened upon this video a couple months ago and went out and bought a bottle the next day (Mr. E. Z. Sell, here). I did my other two vehicles and spent the rest of the day Rain-X'ing ID.4 ... :rolleyes: ... it's still wearing dealer wax. Hybrid Solutions sure beats the red bottle Meguiar's Spray Wax I had on hand.

I used the hybrid ceramic as well but went back to my old standby as it lasts much longer. Bought at ACE Hardware for $20. It’s called "RejeX“ and I use it on my Goldwing too. After it’s applied it must stay out out of the sun for 24 hours.
"Application is easy. Shake RejeX well and apply to a clean, dry surface that is cool to the touch. Do not apply in direct sunlight or in temperatures greater than 85° F. After RejeX dries to a haze (about 20 minutes), simply wipe it off with a soft microfiber towel."

I am a member at taosfoums.com. Interested in where VW is going in the future, but very happy with the Taos SE 4motion that I am driving.

Back to the Turtle Wax... I applied a double coat (24 hrs between coats) of the Hybrid Solutions ceramic acrylic black car wax in June. The beading is still unbelievable. In all honesty, I think that is is better than the Meguiars hybrid ceramic wax that I used on my last SUV.

Next spring, I plan on trying the black car polish from the same line.. but right now the paint is still flawless... I got lucky at delivery time as the stealership was short handed and the vehicle got a touchless machine wash, but no polishing by the delivery staff.
