New 2015 Turtle Wax Shine Lock Sealant. Thoughts & Discussion?
Yeah I know there isn't a lot of love for turtle wax products on here minus a couple that have been sleeper type products.
Well I stumbled upon this. Looks like Turtle Wax is joining in on the long term protection type products for their 2015 line of new products. Thoughts?
Pulled this from their site.
12 months of protection in 15 minutes or less
Wipe on and walk away using the proprietary applicator
Locks in a blanket of shine for every exterior surface
Wipe on and walk away... Yup, it's as easy as it sounds!
SMART SHIELD polymers cover every exterior surface with a blanket of protection
Includes a proprietary 3-layer applicator & microfiber towel
FAQ:
Q: What is a Sealant?
A: Sealant chemistry uses next-generation technology to protect your car all four seasons. The fast-acting polymers instantly bond to your car’s paint and cure on the surface, creating an ultra-durable layer of protection. The advanced interlocking polymers of SHINE LOCK™ SEALANT are engineered to lock in shine.
Q: When and why should I use Sealant?
A: Every car owner has their own regiment for car care. We recommend using Sealant at least once a year to give your car the most advanced protection against fading, oxidation, and scratching. To maximize the surface bonding, clean & smooth the paint before using.
Q: What is Smart Shield Technology?
A: The chemists at Turtle Wax developed interlocking polymers that work together to build layers of shine & protection. Each product is formulated with the most advanced technology to deliver superior results. Even better, when you use multiple SMART SHIELD products within the system, the results amplify for unbeatable shine & protection.

Except the average Joe will do no prep or a poor hand prep, and as Meticulous says..."the pop is in the prep". So maybe we are the lucky ones to be able to get this OTC (presuming it's actually any good). Seems like a lot of members are very happy with the TW tire and trim products.

I really don't mind TW.
Let's face it though, their target is the low lying fruit. That's where the money is.
Their Premium Grade Rubbing, and Polishing Compounds, Ice Paste, and Express Shine have all worked great for me.

OMG! I would never risk using any kind of "compound" from TW.

Sounds good.
I'm still using my Wolfgang Sealant and DP Poli-Coat but may give it a shot, first trying it on my own cars.

The packaging looks purty.

Why? ... Just because of the name?

Snicker if you want but when I dry my Explorer I use Turtle Wax and Dry spray wax and it works flawlessly. I use Collinite 845 as my primary wax but use the Turtle Wax product to help in drying. I think some people are product snobs.

Not at all--simply because historically these type of products are highly abrasive and not clearcoat safe. Not only do I remember what these products were like before clearcoat, but I'm now in my second decade of participating in detailing forums, and I can't tell you how many threads I have seen that start something like this: "So I had a scratch on my car so I went down to (insert store) and got a can of Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound. I rubbed a lot and the scratch got lighter but you can still see it and now the area around the scratch is lighter-colored and dull. How can I fix this?"
I just see no reason to take a chance using or recommending a TW Compound as an OTC product when I could recommend Meg's UC or UP which are modern SMAT products.
