    Turtle Wax Ultimate Gloss

    I think I am addicted to testing products -

    Sooo. I picked TW Ulitmate Gloss up - I have seen a few good posts about it and for 7 bucks for the paste can I figured I would give a try. The web site says you can layer it so I am guessing it has no cleaning ability (more on that..)

    It`s a very hard past and you get a lot for your 7 bucks...I applied it all by hand using the included applicator - the wax really doesn`t have a smell other than like wax (no berryfresh or mountain rain ) and no odd color - just looks like wax in a green can. It was a little odd in that it seems to have small balls in it or tiny chunks if you will...

    I applied it to my freshly S&W`ed car which is sporting two coats of Wolfgang`s (for my review on that check rabbi`s thread where i add my two cents). The TW went on very smooth and a little goes a long way..infact that may be a problem with the average user it is way too easy to put on too much...

    I applied it to the whole car in stages - hood, left front quarter panel, half the roof and two doors. I left it to dry and then used a Mullet Wax Awesome Polishing cloth to remove. When you put too much on, it`s hard to come off and tends to powder. This was the case with the hood - I put way to much on, but once I broke the crust it came off. The quarterpanel, roof and doors I applied a lot less and it buffed right out. I finished the rest of the car applying as thin a coat as I could. Done this way there is almost no powder and it does not stain trim at all!!

    The sun was going down so I had some time to take a few shots but nothing with good sunlight -

    I`m impressed - really impressed for 7 bucks - really glossy wet look finish. I`m not 100% sure but since the web site said it was layerable I am guessing I did not remove the wolfgang`s - it`s a nice looking combo and really impressive off the shelf product - check it out -

    Hey I know that garage and area. Guess you stripped it down and put the Wolfgang on. More products!

    Looks different. But good different. I was wondering how would TW`s Wax would do.
