Yeah..... my thoughts too both bead well but the Cosmic beads roll off easier.

Should I skip the the 2 coats and wax, and apply the TWSS instead? How is it on protection? Would I be able to use this as a Spray Wax after a wash instead?
Mine was corrected 2-3 weeks before applying TWSNS. No other LSP was used

We'll see if I hear back from them...
Mine looks just like picture of bottle on site. Don’t know which version though

Re: Turtle Wax Seal and Shine
Also cosmic has a 2 yr shelf life once opened. Hopefully it’s longer now with such an extended life

It will likely last longer on prepped paint. I would say nearly any product will. Will it bond to wax and ksg well? Not sure.
My understanding it has carnauba in it. Not a ton but some.
For time savings would wash then use the TW SNS
You can for sure use it after a wash as a spray wax. Heat from direct sun will make it harder to use. Humidity may add to needing an additional buff off of the carnauba hazing aspect of the product
It’s a good product. Price is very reasonable and it’s pretty easy to work with

Are you guys discussing Cosmic coating or Cosmic Spritz?

I used Turtle Wax Seal and Shine on my True Red MX5 for the first time and it took the shine to a new level
2008 Toyota Tacoma 410,000 miles and still going strong.

It’s spritz but “new” version will give you 12-14 months if prepped with PA primer or primer spritz....

Re: Turtle Wax Seal and Shine
So did a reset wash today and although both needed very well, water was rolling off of the PA side a lot easier. PA destroys TW in self cleaning.
PA cosmic performance is almost coating like. It sheds water almost as well as the cquk 3.0 on rest of car.
Someone should do a more fair test against Reload or cure. From memory it is TW is performing as well as I remember Reload and hydro silex. Still and amazing value if it can keep up with those 30$ bottles of sio2 sealants.
For this willing to pay a lot more for better performance, May do a kamikaze OC/ PA test. Want to let the current sealants run for 2 months to see short term performance.

Re: Turtle Wax Seal and Shine
Hard for me to decide on this. Yes, it is cheap, available locally, but I am not convinced just because a chemical won't remove it as easily as another product that it is more durable or longer lasting. PNS sheds water for months, in the real world. I guess I will have to test it myself. Real world testing vs chemical dousing.
