Mainly looking for ease of use and quality.


Wife (no pics) got a new vehicle in July so I went down the rabbit hole of taking care of it. Since then I've bought a pressure washer, foam cannon, and few too many products

So many videos on products being tested and how-tos. I really enjoy learning and its been fun in the short term.

Wife's vehicle is ceramic coated so it's easy; wash and use a drying aid with some ceramic in it, Tech Choice 582.

My truck is 10 years old and after washing I just used some Turtle Wax Mist wax. Was easy and it worked good and now after a wash I use Bead Maker as the drying aid. Water beads up great and top is so much slicker. I need to get a clay towel and iron remover if want to go to the next step but we'll see.

Washed the oldest's car when he came for a visit. Had some older Meguires spray and wax and I used that. His car hadn't been waxed in years but after the wax I added the bead maker and that worked good. I think the Turtle Wax Mist spray was better, paint just felt slicker.

If there's nothing on your vehicle I'd get the Hybrid Ceramic Wax from Turtle Wax. Wash, spray and wipe off and you're good to go. I think if you do that the second day it really prolongs it. Lot of videos comparing it to some of the top brands and it competes well with them

I pay a guy $1500 a year to ceramic coat mine, and then post on social media how well it was worth it.

I tried MAXL One after being blasted with targeted adds. It’s more expensive and gives comparable results to a typical spray on wash and wax.

I recently started using Sonax Spray & Seal lately and I really like it.

It's super simple to apply.

I wash a section of the truck, and before rinsing the soap off, I spray the Sonax on the panel. Then rinse off.

It brings out a nice shine and is very hydrophobic.
