    The Wife-mobile gets "Turtled."

    Finally gave in to all the wife`s "hinting" to clean her car. I figure I`ve been harping on Hybrid Solutions, so I thought that I had better use it on her car too.

    I won`t post about the wheels and tires since I already did in the "Torture Test" thread, so onto the body work.

    Wash - Meg`s Hyper Wash - I should be using the HS Slick & Slide since this is a `Turtle post,` but I Have a ton of HW left and I don`t want to waste it.

    Polish - HS Polish & Wax, by machine, with a Meguiar`s maroon cutting pad, speed 6 on the PC.

    Wax - HS Pro To the Max Wax X2, by hand using a foam applicator (works MUCH better than a MF applicator) 12 hours apart, I have to work today, so I didn`t have 24 hours to wait.

    Rims - HS Ceramic Spray Coating. I`ve pretty much switched to the Hybrid Solutions Pro line for the paintwork, so since I have the Ceramic Spray Coating, I might as well use it on something.

    The Results:

    Wow! Did you use the Polish and the Max Wax on all the black trim?

    With the polish and wax, how was the wipe off for you? The bottle mentions using a damp microfiber followed by a dry one?

    Wipe off was fine. I I used a bit less than the recommended amount and didn`t work it very long. I didn`t need a damp towel at all.

    I was asking because the trim looks nice, was it that way before, did you do something to it, or did the Max Wax give it that nice "new" look?

    Looks good. Can’t believe the turn around the Turtle has done. Meanwhile at Meguiars it seems the boys in the lab are asleep.

    All I did to the trim was wash it when I washed the car (Hyper Wash only) and since Max Wax DOESN`T leave any white residue anywhere, I just went over the trim while I was coating the paint.

    I was a Meguiar`s nut, but I never liked how `oily` their products were. It seemed that no matter what you used, there were oily smears lef t behind. Not so with the Turtle, especially if you follow the directions and use the "Damp towel/Dry towel" removal method.

    Looks great ! I have to try this eventually. Is that the Ruby Red? It looks good when clean.

    I think Meguiars has always been overrated. Gold Class car wash has never impressed me. Their compounds are good but Griots seem to be a notch better.
