Turtle Wax 53411 Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wash and Wax, Easy Clean Ceramic Infused Formula Removes Dirt and Grime, Long Lasting Shine and Protection for Cars, Trucks and More, 48 oz. (Pack of 1)

Disclaimer: I just got this product and haven't used it, yet.Posting because I've read some use dish detergent for their first wash.Years ago (before ceramic) I did not have car wash so I mixed up a couple of tablespoons of Dawn in a bucket of water and washed my beautiful 1979 powder blue Lincoln Town Car. (With port holes)It had a coat of wax and the wash cleaned it very well.Then I noticed the paint had lost lustre and it surely seemed like the wax was gone.It took a LOT of elbow grease and two coats of paste wax to mostly repair the damage.I encourage others to think twice before using dish detergent.UPDATE 02/28/2025: I had a few minutes so I decided to use this product to wash my hood. History:Purchased 12/31/2020 and had it detailed with ceramic coating 06/18/2021 and 01/17/2024.It is garage parked and looks very good, if I do say so, myself. (Most think it newer than 2021)Since it looks good, the result is slightly increased beading and a smidge more shine.Since you're still reading, I tried a technique another reviewer posted - blowing it with leaf blower.However, my leaf blower is battery powered and did not do a thorough job of water removal.Has to work better with a stronger blower.Finished with a chamois.UPDATE 03/04/2025: Used the product and my Sorento looks G-R-E-A-T!Two previous ceramic details likely helped the result this time.CONSIDER wearing gloves when pouring the product - it is Slippery and I almost dropped the jug bare-handed.

Very good product. Best to use in the shade or out of direct sun. Gives the car a nice. Not very sudsy so you may have to wash 2x or use sudsier soap 1st.

Awesome

I have been detailing all my cars for about 12 years now and I decided to try this soap as a cheaper option. I used this on 3 color cars. One blue, one white, and one black. I am just a person who likes clean cars inside and out. I normally use the chemical guys honeydew soap in a foam cannon, 2 bucket wash system with grit guards, and CARCAREZ 10" Car Wash Brush, and another mini brush for just the tires and wheels. Then I follow up with McKees hydro blue and waffle towels to dry and the results have been amazing. The only thing I don't like about that procedure is I dry it with water lubrication (I have tried to use air compressor and leaf blower and both suck just doesnt dry enough). From exp it seems way better to use some type of product when drying like wet wax or a detailer something like that. If you don't I feel like you scratch the car easier. The price is just really high for McKees and the chemical guys honeydew soap so I decided to try this soap and the ceramic wet wax. So I did my same normal procedure (2 bucket system, foam cannon, same brush, and dried with turtle wet wax and chemical guys waffle towels) and here are my findings:Pros:Super cheap and affordable. Even though it says you cant use a foam cannon I found it to be better to use one to spread the soap around on the exterior a lot easier and keep the paint wet. I noticed right away after I rinsed the car off that the water starts to bead off and also the gloss is amazing. Also the soap even though it barely suds (if at all) it is super slick even to the touch. After that if you apply ceramic wet wax the water beads even better and the gloss is like a deep deep gloss that pops and lasts months. Even the water beading lasted a few months.Cons:Soap has little to no suds. I like the suds to see what I have recently washed with the brush. This you can only tell what you washed by remembering. I also did not like that it dried very fast. When washing my black car it dried way to fast and I had to spray extra wet wax to get the product off the paint. I DO NOT recommend for a black car for that reason. My Camaro is black and ill admit my paint sucks! I mean it really sucks to maintain. It gets dirty the minute I get done drying it and its prone for water spots to etch the paint if sat in the sun too long (I have tried ceramic coatings, ceramic wax, regulars wax to try and prevent this). I just had better results with the hydro blue on my black car.So I think I am going to switch back to honeydew foam and hydro blue for my black car, but for the daily drivers this soap is super affordable and the results speak for themselves. Ill probably keep using this just for the daily's just to keep the cost on products down. Hope this helps!

First off, I have been very impressed with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramics Wax Spray for a couple years now. I was tipped off by the Project Farm video that reviewed several ceramic sprays.Due to working from home, I do not put too many miles on my car in a year. I go to the office once a week, go out shopping weekly, do long weekend trips and about a 2000 round trip vacation to Florida once a year.All in all, I have been getting away with polishing my car once a year with the TW Ceramic Spray Wax. Water was still beading off the car this year, but not as much last year. Last year, the ceramic spray was a bit of a chore to get the first coat on and off and remove streaks etc. The second coat is usually a little easier.I came across this car wash and wondered if I washed my car with this wash if that first ceramic spray wax coat would go on easier. In short, yes it did. It was very easy to get my two full coats of the ceramic spray this year. I think I got two on quicker than my first coat last year. Frankly, the car looked very very good even just after the wash, dry and initial buff. I am excited to see how the car looks during the year as I use this wash to refresh my ceramic spray wax coats during the year.Basically, I did this:-Wash with dish soap to remove oils and dirt-Wash with this car wash following the instructions-Dry with leaf blower and chamois (leaf blower is great to dry those areas that drip after the car wash)-First buff with micro fiber mitt.-Apply full first coat of TW ceramic spray.-Second full buff-Second full coat of TW ceramic spray-Third full buff3.5 hours of work for 12 months of shine and protection. Not a bad deal. Tomorrow I will do one final buff after giving the wax a chance to cure.In summary, the car wash itself worked very well to bring out a good shine on my car after a year. I was so impressed, I was wondering if I even needed to use the ceramic spray wax. Overall, I am glad that I did because the car looks that much better, but the car looked good after just the wash. Others posted pics and I would say my car looked very similar in shine.Overall, very impressive and I think it will remain a staple in my car care routine. As noted, I am curious to see how car will look the next time I wash it.
