Re: Turtle Wax Seal and Shine
I'm taking a trip back to the D next week and my car is currently wearing the TWSS. For road trips I take along AMMO NYC for doing WW, as well as a single 5 gallon bucket so I can properly clean my rims, for that I'll be trying P&S Brake Buster @3:1 to see if I can get away with foaming them, letting it dwell and just rinse to a clean wheel, stay "tuned"

Re: Turtle Wax Seal and Shine
Agreed with you guys about humidity and temp. Again though the cosmic had no problems wiped on, wiped off..... Seems like RLM has similar problem with SNS? Protections their with great beading. May try N-914 wipe off.

If I could listen to my own advise LOL. Tried the SNS on the roof and the hood yesterday when I have washed a white Ford Focus I maintain. The humidity was very high as it where starting to rain just after the application of the SNS. Even when I used very little product and tried most kind of nap on the mf towels. It was hard to wipe it off. It where not so warm so think that SNS is sensitive to the high humidity. It was not a perfect prep before just like a wash and wax job done. Even the slickness feeling was hard to get until it where almost wiped off. But this I had in mind and was curious to testing it out and knowed it where no good situation to use it in.
Applyied the new version of Gyeon Wet Coat on the other parts of the car. So with a new claimed longevity of 4-5 months from it. It's in the range of where SNS is. Wet Coat was a big step ahead from the water behavior vs SNS. Will see how the SNS gets after the first wash and I may apply another coat on the car then. The hood had was what expected but the roof where not so good. It can be more of it needs to be polished and preped better to behave at a high level. So no fault to the SNS.

Re: Turtle Wax Seal and Shine
Polish and prep recommended but not needed. None of the other toppers I’ve used did not “need” it also.
Has anyone tried on coated car? I applied to raw hood.

Re: Turtle Wax Seal and Shine
Here's a fun comparison on our Jeep that sat out in the rain the other day.
When Don convinced me to try TWS&S I re-did the hood to compare it to the rest of the Jeep done with a coating. That was 3 weeks or so ago. Here's a fun water beading comparison. You make the choice. I'm happy with both!

Why is TWSS beading up more

it's about the same over the whole panel really. When driving it sheets off pretty well. No doubt the coated panels dry a bit easier. I put TWS&S up there with PNS in terms of water behavior from a beading standpoint.

Re: Turtle Wax Seal and Shine
I don't believe this is a topper. In reading reviews on Amazon, the manufacturer answered a question stating this should be applied to bare paint, not over another wax or sealant. They even stated to apply this before their liquid or paste waxes and sealants. I do not think this will play well on waxed, sealed, or coated cars.

Re: Turtle Wax Seal and Shine
Yeah I don’t think it will dry as well or shed off as a coating thus affecting performance. But as straight beading goes it’s nice! Beads better than Reload and cure. For 6$ it’s an animal!
