‎Turtle Wax 53409 Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating, Incredible Shine & Protection for Car Paint, Extreme Water Beading, Safe for Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, RV's & More, 16 oz.

Well reviewed. One internet site compared to other brands including actual ceramic coating. Could not get the stuff off the metal. Goes on easy, like anyother spray wax. Durable after 2 coatings. Even snow slid off the hood. Bugs splatter are not permanent and comes off with a little elbow grease. Has good shine and slickness. Hybrid ceramic coating that is inexpensive and easy to apply. Note it is ceramic coating.

Applied to 2 vehicles after clay bar treatment. Went on easy and looked great with good gloss and water repelling. Roughly 4 months later in typical southeastern US summer weather and there is zero sign of protection remaining on either vehicle.Bottom line is that it looks great, you just have to reapply it regularly which kinda defeats the purpose of a “ceramic”. Might hold up better if the vehicle is kept in a garage or similar cover. It is easier to apply than a paste wax so there is that.

I’ve used multiple detailing products over the years, always on the hunt to see if I can find something better. I stumbled upon this ceramic spray coating after watching a Project Farm video, and this might be the best detailing product I have ever used.I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. I’ve used this on just about everything I own. My Corvette is relatively new with only 5,000 miles on it, so the paint was already in great condition and free of contamination. Application was easy and straightforward, spray on and wipe off. Use a small amount of product, less is more. The shine and slickness is unbelievable.My truck sits outside pretty much 24/7. Paint is full of contamination and I didn’t clay bar and remove it as I should (directions state to start with a very clean surface.) I’m not trying to win any beauty contests with my truck, so I gave it a good wash and applied this product. Again, the pictures will speak for themselves. After a few rains and several mornings of morning dew, the surface is still spotless and slick. You’ll find that dirt, dust etc won’t stick to the paint as easily and obviously water will run right off. This is the most my truck has ever shined. I haven’t washed it since application and have taken it on a few long trips, this is how the surface presents.And finally, this works on boats too! I couldn’t find anything that said this can be used on gelcoat, but I’ve used spray ceramic coatings on gelcoat in the past and it works great. My boat is kept inside and I keep the surface very clean, so application was easy. Spray on, wipe off, repeat. Again, less is more or you can end up with streaking and high spots. As you can see, the shine is nothing short of impressive. I’ve had it in the water a couple of times since application and it is still holding up, although being that part of the surface glides through water at 60+mph, it won’t last as long as on a vehicle. At the price of this product, I’ll happily reapply multiple times per year if needed.I hit both of my jetskis with this too (not pictured) and also got great results. Mind you, this is all with ONE bottle, and I still have some left. This stuff goes far. Will probably hit my 4 wheelers and side by side painted panels once I have those clean to provide some extra protection.If you’re on the fence, BUY IT! Impressive stuff for a bargain price. I’ll be a customer for life.

Your car will shine so brilliantly, you might start seeing your reflection and question if you really need that mirror at home. They’ve pumped this spray full of synthetic wax polymers, which sounds like something a mad scientist whipped up. Your paint will have that “just off the lot” sparkle, minus the dealer markup.You can achieve all this wizardry by simply spraying it on and buffing it off. No foam applicators, no 2-hour ceremonies. Just a few spritzes, a swipe with a microfiber cloth, and boom—shiny, protected car. You could do this in direct sunlight, while juggling, with one hand tied behind your back. It’s that simple.For those of us who have slaved away with traditional ceramic coatings—using foam applicators and dedicating entire afternoons to the process—this is a godsend. You get 90-95% of the results in 5 minutes flat. Your Miata (or any other car) will be so shiny, you’ll need sunglasses just to look at it.If you’re ready to turn car detailing into a quick, enjoyable chore rather than a marathon, Turtle Wax 53409 Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating is your new best friend. It’s like having a cheat code for an insanely shiny, well-protected car.

Ok, so it isn’t truly a hard core ceramic coating with SiO2 content and it is not going to protect your paint for three years (as other brands might claim). I have tried many many formulations over the years. Carnauba is unmatched for deep shine with dark paint but as a natural extract from a tree, is provides only limited durability and water repellency. I have also used Klasse products and Zaino but the application process is more involved and I would not say that the durability is anything to brag about. Mothers CMX is comparable to this Turtle Wax hybrid solutions spray but does leave some annoying little white beads on the paint; one drive down the road and beads are gone so I would say that it is not a problem. This Turtle Wax formulation is pretty impressive. I own four cars ranging from 2011-2023. They are fairly new and so they have modern clear coat paints. For 90% of applications, I would say that this spray will work well. If you work in the shade and wipe it off after a quick flash, it is very easy to use. I apply it every 6-8 months because it usually wears off but the durability is pretty impressive. Protection against bird droppings and acid rain is excellent. I apply it to glass and it leaves none of the white residue associated with other brands. It wipes off dark plastic trim without smears. Super glossy finish on painted surfaces. Easy to use. Very long lasting. Inexpensive. In 2024, it is hard to match for price and value. 5-stars!

This is my favorite product to use on my car. It leaves it looking so shiny, feeling very slick to the touch, and even smelling good. Out of all the car coating products I’ve used over the years, this one is my favorite. It’s easy to apply, lasts decently long, and again, leaves my car looking, smelling, and feeling amazing.Remember to use one microfiber for application and one for buffing and to shake the bottle before applying!

Long time vehicle detailer and someone who works hard to keep my stuff nice. This product is very easy to apply and long-lasting…good shine and water deflection. I use it annually on all my newer rigs. You will need a clean surface, so older rigs will need a clay bar or buff prep beforehand. YouTube Project Farm (sensational reviews for all mech stuff, rated it #1). I agree!

Without a doubt, this is the best automotive detailing product Ive ever used. Potentially the best product in any category! Easy to apply. Can be applied to almost anything including interiors. Doesnt stain. Affordable. Lasts for months.

I recently tried the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating, and it’s been a game changer for my car care routine. Here’s my take:Shine and Protection: The product lives up to its promise of delivering an incredible shine. My car looks like it just left the showroom, with a glossy finish that really stands out. The ceramic coating also offers a great layer of protection, repelling water and dirt effectively.Ease of Use: One of the best parts about this spray is how easy it is to apply. Just a few sprays, a gentle wipe with a microfiber cloth, and you’re done. It’s a quick way to achieve professional-looking results without much effort.Durability: I’ve noticed that the coating lasts quite long. It’s been a few weeks and the shine is still as intense, and water still beads up and rolls off the surface. This longevity means I don’t have to reapply too often, which is a huge plus.Value for Money: Considering the quality and the amount of product you get, it’s well-priced. You don’t need to use a lot each time, so one bottle goes a long way.Overall Experience: The Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating has exceeded my expectations. It not only makes my car look stunning but also adds a protective layer that lasts. For anyone looking to enhance their vehicle’s appearance with minimal effort, this product is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended for its impressive shine, protection, and ease of use!

I have applied two coats of this to my black vehicle now, and it was pretty easy to apply, per the instructions. I had some issues with certain spots streaking and not wanting to buff in, but it is possible I over applied. Time will tell if this product can actually hold up for 12 months, but if not, the cost is practical enough for plenty of re-applications.

I’ve been taking care of my own vehicles for 50 years. My first vehicle was a Jeep and I literally waxed the paint right off of it. I’ve spent countless hours polishing or waxing my vehicles. I happened upon a video testing several of the main new ‘space age’ ceramic coatings. Turtle Wax tested best. So I purchased a bottle. I washed my truck and made sure it was dry. Following Turtle Wax directions I sprayed a small amount and spread with a microfiber towel. The ceramic coating goes on clear and spreads like water in an even coat. I really didn’t believe what I was seeing. No waiting for product to dry. No buffing required. It took me no more than 15 minutes to complete a Toyota Tundra, a big truck. Directions say apply two coasts for a 12 month protection so here I go with a second coat. My truck is 15 years old and its paint feels like GLASS! I didn’t expect such an awesome finish. And how could it be so easy?!? It’s only been about 2 months so I can’t say if it will last a year but even if it doesn’t, given how easy it is to apply I will not complain about doing it again. Buy this stuff, it’s worth it.

I used this product and was so impressed with the shine & protection. I usually like to wash & polish my car pretty regularly but other than a little dust from the tree I have to park under it doesn’t need to be washed & polished again so soon. Really like this stuff! Here are 2 times I used this product, the second one is in the shade under my tree at home. Also it doesn’t take me long with this to get my entire car done.

I hadn’t used a Turtle Wax product in decades. I watched a video comparing Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating to other products, and the product outperformed competing products, so I decided to give it a try. We applied the product to a white vehicle approximately one week and one wash after applying Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Polish and Wax. The product was easy to apply and remove and resulted in remarkably slick finish that had incredible hydrophobic properties after we encountered rain while driving. The vehicle was still clean after it dried. I would recommend this product to anyone I know.

I apply this stuff after I finish polishing my vehicle. It adds a great coat of protection that lasts about a week. You can definitely see the water bead up after it’s applied vs without anything on. Goes on quick, dries, then the haze can be wiped clear. I do notice that the bugs in my area love this stuff though. It’s only when I apply it that I notice these little orange bugs immediately start landing on my car. Like tons of them. It only happens the first day, each time, directly after I apply it. Must be the scent of it that attracts them. It does smell great.

I’ve been deluxing cars since 1952 at age 11. Many waxes, cleaners and ceramics have come and gone during that time. My choice of car dressing back in the 1950’s was a product by the name of Vista. It was a paste wax and cleaner that did the cars proud back in the day. Along with the change in automobiles and its technology has come changes in the products we use to protect our car finishes. It’s known as clear coat. Let me take the mystery out of your choice of cleaners, waxes, polishes and now ceramics off the table. Buy a liquid product that contains both caranuba wax and silicone di-oxides in its formula. Don’t pay more than $15 for at least 16 ozs of this product. Lightly spray it on your car. Dry it off with a soft towel and be done with all this “gobbilie gook” about which product is the best. Apply the wax for shine and the ceramic for top coat protection. Both will pprotect your car’s top coat as prescribed in the owner’s manual. That’s all. Mystery solved!You can get 16 ozs of this ceramic spray product for $13.49 or you can by Simonize Wax and Dry which is 26 ozs for $6.49. Appears to me this ceramic laced product gives you 40% less product for 2 times the costs, and best I can tell, the results are about the same. Both are easy on and off. Finding a combination of the two that can be easily applied at one time is the logical answer.In reading the ingredients on the Ceramic product which appears to be a bunch of witchcraft, I came upon a warning that read; “Harmful- Reproductive.” That’s printed right on the product. The Devil is always found in the small print. SO WEAR GLOVES WHEN YOU APPLY!!For my money, since the shine, gloss and water-repellent properties appear to be identical, side by side test on my hood, why spend 2X as much and get 40% less product and end up with much the same results and the chance of harmful effects to your reproductive system?AT AGE 82, MY CAR SHINES BRIGHTER THAN MY REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM. So wax on, wax off. I recommend that you wear gloves when using both products and save money by using the less expensive Wax and Dry product. You don’t want to mess up your reproductives.Now that the medical disclaimer is handled, let’s talk about the product. It goes on like warm, melted butter. Comes off in the blink of an eye and leaves your car beautifully smooth and brilliant. If you wax as often as you wash, then the less expensive Wax and Dry would be my choice. If you apply once or twice a year, go with the ceramic sealant. Either way your car will look great and you won’t be charged an outlandish price for the product. In Simonize I trust. And in Amazon I am confident that if the product doesn’t perform as promised, Amazon will make it right. That’s a fact.

s been more than 10 years since I’ve owned a car where I was concerned enough about the appearance to bother waxing it, but I decided to buy myself a new convertible. Needless to say, there are all kinds of car finish (wax like) products that didn’t even exist the last time I wanted to wash and wax a car. I decided to try one of the spray-on products, and I selected the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating based on availability and price. I have to say that I love this stuff. It gives a great shine! It’s way easier to apply than the wax products I’ve used in the past that required rubbing and buffing. But perhaps the best feature is that it really seems to help keep the car clean. We’ve taken two road trips that resulted in lots of bug splatter on the bumper and hood, and tar collected on the lower fenders. I was shocked at how easily the bugs and tar came off when I got the chance to wash the car. I definitely don’t enjoy washing and waxing cars, and this stuff is a great labor saver!

coat. Did a single coat and the buff-after-5-minutes was all it took. Due to tree pollen I rinsed the RV (two days after application) and it was incredible how easy it was to spray water and it was back to glory. So I applied a second coat and it did not go well. The second coat has tough time sticking to the first coat, nothing to bite to I guess. And it got harder to buff-after-5-minutes. I changed to new microfiber and still felt like the same. So I think a single coat is all it takes and if it wears off simply apply again after it wears off. One bottle worked well for the whole 30 foot RV with still 25% left to use.

I’ve been using this spray ceramic wax for years now and have compared it to many other waxes. It’s one of the best for the money. In terms of ease of use,gloss factor,and slickness,this is my top choice. Now,that being said,I do detail my cars quite often. And I’ve used this ceramic spray as a second coat to the polish ceramic wax. It works great as it was designed to. But in terms of longevity, the Griot’s 3 in 1 ceramic spray wins this category. The youtube channel ScottHd has done a extremely thorough testing of over 60 car wax products, lasting over a year. The Griot’s 3 in 1 held up to others costing many times more. The Griot’s 3 in 1 is $20 dollars for 22 oz. The Turtle Wax hybrid ceramic spray failed quickly! So why do I use the Turtle wax Hybrid ceramic spray? When I lived in San Jose Ca,it didn’t rain much. I moved to Florida 6 months ago and it rains all the time here.And the humidity is incredible, you have to visit here to understand. In San Jose,even in the winter when it was much cooler,the Griot’s went on as easy as the Turtle wax ceramic spray,and wiped off as easily. But the Griot’s will last much longer. Up to 4 times longer. The Turtle wax polish wax and spray combo won’t begin to compete in longevity against the Griot’s 3 in 1 alone. Which makes the griot’s much cheaper. But I don’t let months go by in between waxing! And now.I’m having to deal with waterspots! And this is what I’ve experienced here in Florida. Because of the humidity,the Griot’s get’s streaky on all three of my cars. The Turtle wax hybrid spray also does,but not as bad. I can buff it out with a microfiber pad attached to my da polisher. The Griot’s 3 in 1 is much harder to get out. And it gets “gummy” easily. And this next thing is where the turtle wax beats all the others,Mequiars gold class,ultimate,hi tec yellow,mother’s…etc. It’s much slicker and the gloss factor takes the winner spot! So it doesn’t last nearly as long,but if you wash and polish your car often,at least once a month, this combo wins. The gloss and pop and the dust repelling, can’t be beat. I wipe my cars down with an absorber all the time.Which means I don’t actually wash my cars that often. I use the TW hybrid ceramic spray as a topper,which works great. The only thing slicker is Xtreme solutions Topper. It’s not cheap,it doesn’t last longer. It’s not a wax. But the gloss is about the same. Nothing beats Topper in terms of slickness. And i’ve tested many different waxes and detailer sprays. So,the Turtle Wax Hybrid Polish wax and Ceramic Spray combo is one I can recommend. Especially if you live in a humid area and lot’s of rain. I’ve done testing on the water beading patterns of different waxes. This combo produces small,tight, beads,which is less prone to leave deep etching waterspots. It beats the Meguiars and Griot’s various waxes they produce. They may last longer,but they produce bigger beads on the hood,top,and trunk lid. And if you don’t blow them off before the sun get’s to them,you get bad waterspots. Which I then have to buff out with Meguiars Ultimate compound (best and cheapest for waterspots and medium scratches). The little bit of waterspots I do get come out much easier. Sometimes I just have to rub them with a little pressure using just the spray. If not,I use the Tw hybrid polish wax on my da orbital polisher and they’ll come out.

Caveat: I am not and do not have airs to ever be a pro detailer to maintain my car, nor spend what it takes to get a concours-level finish. I needed something with quick-and-dirty bang for buck in this covid wasteland of fiscal uncertainty…Goal with purchasing this product was 1) best performance per dollar, and 2) a great finish achieved without a detailing shop filled with detailing tools, just layman’s care and frequency (a la the endless ceramic torture tests on YT with minimal to no maintenance for months/year). While I’m not *that* neglectful, this product seemed to offer just that.So applied on a 2-yo car freshly washed with Meguiar’s Gold Class wash, which has worked beautifully for years, pre-wax. Rinsed and dried panels but no compressed air due to no garage of my own…Comparisons will concentrate on the product I used most before finding HS: Meguiar’s Ultimate Quik Wax, which goes on easily but has lost many, many direct comparisons for durability to HS’…Cost: the 16oz HS is $13.99, the 24oz UQW is 11.97… so for cost per ounce the HS loses by $0.38/oz. However… if applied properly you’ll need far less product to complete an application than the UQW, for even comparable results (more on that later)…With the UQW I needed two coats to give me just about one month of peak performance before it went away. But when done it shines like a crystal clear mirror, just doesn’t last very long, esp if it rains every morning for a month (as this February did)…Applying this product… found right off the bat it’s a *lot* tackier than the UQW, and much harder to buff (sticks to microfibre). Followed instructions to apply two sprays per panel max, still did it. Also results in an inferior luster to the UQW, none of the mirror-like finish (though from five steps pretty close). But what surprised me (as a SiO2 newbie) was what happened after a day on the car…It’s hella dusty in my town, built downwind from miles of abandoned dirt ag fields between two mountain ranges, so every morning I wake up to the car covered in a fine layer of claggy dust. Same following the HS wax… but weirdly instead of sticking to panels (and glass, as apparently it’s fine on wheels and glass), the dust literally wipes clean, far easier than the UQW (found two coats UQW repelled dust better than one for some reason… but not 3?). And instead of degrading in the sun, the HS seemed to get even better (‘harder’?) the more it was exposed — and lack of luster? Sun made it noticeably slicker. Doesn’t say anything about that on the bottle, but I welcomed it as I could probably rinse/wipe the car down with a 1-gal garden sprayer with water for maintenance now, instead of $4 at the pressure-wand car wash in town.On wheels, same. The UQW would hold road and brake dust onto it, requiring a re-coat to get back finish after washing. I can wipe the dust off the HS coat with a microfiber cloth, and it’s gone, back to finish I put there days ago. Aside from brake dust (which is a bit acidic)… road grime sticks less to this finish than the UQW…So far, impressed. Apart from the weird tackiness on application, seems to give back a lot for one coat. It’s about time for rain the afternoons again (hello May) so will update on its performance when wet. I really want this product to work — most YT comparisons list it at or near the top for affordable SiO2 coatings. Let’s hope it’s less marketing and more truth…–EDIT 06 JUN 21:So that one coat… I am genuinely impressed.So it’d been about 2 months since applying, just went to wash it this morning. Gentle hi-pressure rinse washed off 90% of the dirt and bugs — the UQW can’t touch even ¼ of that durability. And all the glass and plastic that coat sat on, weathered even better (windshield and hatch window began miraculously shedding drops like I’d just Rain-X’d it… except it lasts not two days, but 2 months). Wiping down the car became an exercise in rushing — so little water on the car, the danger was actually water spotting! Mind you this was not applied atop a claybar’d, pro-detailer-prepped surface — all I did was apply the HS over the existing but washed UQW. Amazing…Speaking of being applied over UQW… I’m thinking that may’ve been the cause of the tackiness issue, as this time I applied coat 2 and 3 and very little of the tackiness was present (using the recommended two sprays per panel method). So for prepped surfaces that tackiness shouldn’t be a problem, nor will it if you’re applying over an existing SiO₂ coat.I’m sure Turtle Wax didn’t intend this product to be the lazyasses’ wax — but I no longer have to wax every two weeks like clockwork, or fear my finish won’t bead. Just a spray rinse every two weeks, then a reapply every two months, is very reasonable, esp for the price.Your move, Meguiar’s. I tried your SiO₂ spray and was not impressed; time to catch up ;)–EDIT 11 JUL 21:Alright so have had the chance now to put a few coats on; all exactly the same (no detailing technique whatsoever besides what it says on the label). Have some qualifiers for my rating above now ;)So, the durability of this finish, save from a pro detailer’s shop — nothing can touch it, so that much stays the same in this episode. However I am seeing some effects not particularly impressive as I wash and wax with this product more.The number one thing, is the quality of the shine. With the first layers over the UQW… I suppose I didn’t pay too much attention to the shine as the tackiness was the distraction… but even so, wasn’t terribly impressed by its clarity, consistency (esp when the 2 sprays / panel was obeyed), or depth of shine. Now the tackiness is completely gone (perhaps due to being applied over more SiO₂ layers) but even that initial middling shine is being replicated. Today was an overcast day so no chance to see if the sun would change that, but in the two prior wash/waxes it was definitely better.Another thing not mentioned anywhere on the label… is the need to shake the bottle *every time you use it*. Discovered this by accident last wax, when I topped off a new bottle with the dregs of an old one. The liquid pouring out of the old one, and the liquid in the new bottle, completely different: the new (both shaken, mind you) was milky; the old was nearly clear. This may have caused the discrepancy with the first coat’s tackiness. So before every spray, shake — the results over the whole car will be more consistent (as confirmed today with this latest wax).Lastly, I’ve found the best results for shine, depth of coat (I use the old carnauba fingernail test, run gently over the surface to gauge if the coat is adequate — slides easily , it’s good; doesn’t, needs another coat) do not *strictly* agree with the label — I’ve used this proc to best effect:– 3 – 4 short sprays per panel– clean microfiber to spread, let dry– 2 short sprays per panel– using same microfiber for first coat, spread new coat, let dry– new dry microfiber to buffBest for paint ime but esp for wheels and glass… this works a charm, and on glass doesn’t leave a haze as it does with one coat. Multiple coats on wheels is all over anything the UQW could do — that product on wheels seems to *attract* dust and grit; the HS seems to shed it (at least when it’s not raining).So if you’re looking for a maximum-impact wax for your cherry Chevelle SS, I’d go to a pro detailer for a ceramic treatment and not put those elevated expectations on this stuff. But for someone who wants a super-durable, lo-maint product to seal and protect and bead and not pay a ton, this is for those who don’t need concours finish and have only two hours on Sunday :DEDIT 18 OCT 23:So… just as the ultimate acid test (well, one that could fit into my schedule :D)… I left my car unwashed from March ’23, to Oct — seven months without touching the exterior, save quickly cleaning off bird mess, as their acidic little presents can’t be handled by this spray ceramic, and isn’t expected to. But full dust / road grime / salt air caked on for more than half a year, would it show on the clearcoat?Holy sh** — no, it didn’t. Even took it through an automated carwash, didn’t baby taking the dirt off at all. And under that layer, was pristine clearcoat. Not exactly like after an application of this spray… but way, waaaay less damage than I’d expected. This is on silver paint too, which you have to take care of in the sun, otherwise the UV degrades the paint layer from the inside. Leaving it dirty, may’ve saved it in a place like AZ or HI, both which I’d lived and lost paint on cars in. But that has nothing to do with the clearcoat — running a finger over it, wasn’t full of pits or grit or anything like that — smooth, beading water fine. I was *shocked*…Quickly put on another coat. This stuff’s amazing, at least where I live (no winter salt, no sand on the roads, no acid rain, no starlings sh***ing sheets of filth on your paint in the city). Cannot believe it, five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 😀
