Project Farm Revisits Ceramic Coatings

[Lunentucker]

Once again, Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions is "VERY IMPRESSIVE!"
It's all I have ever used on the Gladiator. It goes on easy, and it can be applied to every exterior surface.
I use it on the clearcoat, the plastics, rubber trim headlights, tonneau cover, and even the Line-X.

Amazing stuff that outperforms others that cost much more and are more difficult to apply.

I've only ever used turtle wax due to its convivence and availability. I tried everything else and either the cost didn't equal the performance or it just simply wasn't up to snuff. besides for a heavy use trail rig, true ceramic coating isn't justifiable, 3 trails worth of east coast pinstriping and you'd have to redo it all.

I used a lot of Turtle products when I was younger and found Meguires to be a little better. I use their hybrid ceramic and it works great. I have; however, used Turtles version and it worked quite well.

They don’t last as long as a full ceramic but they are so much easier to apply it’s not a big deal.

Very impressive, indeed! I'm a big fan of Project Farm -- and glad he has so many views and subscribers! Mostly, I am always impressed by how he sees the testing problem and the rigs he figures out to make an objective comparison. I find myself watching comparisons on products that I don't care about at all!

So, normally, this category is one I would not care about. The fact that so many brands are out there, and we have truly legitimate easy-to-apply solutions, is why I will check it out. The part that I liked hearing is that the unpainted surfaces seem fine with it. Windshield too possibly? Mirrors? This also has me thinking I should wash and apply it to my Polaris RZR! I have to admit that my Jeep and SxS don't get much love with washing, so this might help.

@Lunentucker your Mojave is beautiful -- and extra points for being the correct color!

I have used it on the glass and even the tires. It doesn't last as long on those as it does the other surfaces, but it sure won't hurt them to get some overspray on them either.
That's always been the time-consumer with paste and traditional liquid waxes - having to be careful around the trim. Not the case here.
I also use it under the hood.

I have to say, that Gladiator looks AWESOME!
What process and products do you use to detail.
Turtle Wax Hybrid? Is that it?

This year I went over it with a water spot remover, then the Hybrid Solution.
I think I had some water spots embedded under last year's coat, so I wanted to make sure I got back down to the clearcoat with no blemishes.
I do two coats of the Hybrid Solutions with 12-24 hours between coats.
There's virtually no rubbing of buffing required. Spray, spread, and wipe.

That engine bay pic makes me think about cleaning my own engine bay. Then I think about how it's going to last a week before I drive through something muddy.

Does it help resist brush scratches?

Does it help resist brush scratches?

the small stuff? yes. My main reason i love it is cus pollen won't stick to it, very easy to blow or rinse off. Just for daily driving i can get a 2 month stint out of it with weekly touchless washes. But i offroad 1-2 times a month and i have to redo after that. So realistically i get 2 weeks per application.

I've used Turtle Wax and Meguires, then decided to try Chemical Guys and haven't looked back since.
