Turtle Wax...
Man, talk about an out of left field winner. Bought a few of the newer products and honestly, they're absolutely killing it. I had a few older products of theirs that were awesome (Turtle Wax Premium Paste wax is one of my favrotirs from like 15 years ago), but this new stuff is just like, world beating almost.
First, I tried seal and shine. It's sick, spray on, wipe off, super slick, cleans the car up nice, lasted at least 6 months. I kinda lost track at that point.
I started using their ceramic wash and wax, works great as a booster, and is the reason I couldn't tell if the seal and shine was still working or if it was just the ceramic from the wash and wax.
Based on those successes, I decided to try their spray ceramic. Honestly, I'm very impressed with it. It's insanely slick, super easy to apply, looks great, works great.... Love it. Not sure how long it'll last yet, but I'm fairly confident it'll be over 6 months.
So now I'm getting a little nuts. I bought their new Graphene spray ceramic, their iron remover, their tire cleaner, and their Graphene and acrylic tire dressing. Havent had a chance to use them yet, but honestly if they work as well as the other TW stuff I've tried, they're gonna be awesome.
Ive got like, a deep selection of detailing stuff. Pinnacle, Wolfgang, dodo juice, autogylm, optimum, meguairs, mothers, Adam's, just... A lot of stuff, and I'm kinda like, why use anything other than this turtle wax stuff? It's way cheaper, works better, is easier to use.... Honestly I'm at a loss.

Just like you, I have many different brands of detailing products with no clear favorite. Probably due to the fact that I just buy so many that none are ever allowed on the finish for 6 months.

Kinda like me. I used Zaino for 17 years. Now it's Carpro on the C8 and Griots 3-in-1 ceramic spray on the daily driver. Impressed by both.

It was FYARMS I believe that put me on to their ICE product I use it alot on daily driver. There are a lot of inexpensive oldies around that work damn well.. I love the "old" dog companies they still turn out great products

You hold try the ceramic stuff, if you like seal and shine, you'll love their ceramics.

I believe the improved formula ice seal n shine is still better than their ceramic equivalnt, which might've just been a product churned out to ride that trend.

Dunno, I'm a big fan of the ceramic so far. I'm not sure what version of seal and shine I have, but it worked well too.

most of these products are all the same with minor pros and cons. look for the cheapest priced product. Turtle Wax certainly does offer a good amount for the price you pay.
I should say i started with Chemical Guys but their over marketing approach and their similar products advertised 3 to 5 different ways really turned me away. Simple is better.

CG has about 900 zillion products- that ought to tell you something
And look @ their marketing, that should put it to rest for anyone with half a brain

Besides my Zaino phase (in the rare case where I didn’t have a black or red car), I have always used Pinnacle products. Like a robot, I just kept the same car detail strategy when I got my Torch Red C8. Today, I was looking at another expensive order of Pinnacle Souveran, Bodywork shampoo and detail spray and then I saw this thread again and have finally decided to move into the “now” and see what all the Turtle Wax buzz around here is all about.
Today I visited Wally and bought the Hybrid Solution Ceramic Coating. I washed the car, blew it dry as normal, and then polished the car thoroughly with Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion. Next I applied the turtlewax.
I am sold! It was easy to apply after the prep and looks great at a bargain price. Is the shine as deep as Pinnacle Souveran on a red car - no, but it still looks great and hopefully lasts much longer than a couple of months. I am all in at this point and ordered the Graphene Flex Wax and 3-1 Detail Spray.
