2019 Challenger Widebooty HellKitty (she's giving me the meatsweats...)

[motorheadmike]

I have a 4 car garage to keep it should the pain be too much to bare.

I should be okay as it is a case of out of sight, out of mind. However, it was funny setting up the battery charger this weekend when I peeled the car cover back, stood there for a second remembering that I have a Hellcat in front of me, and let it sink in before starting work (and getting it bloody, big car still has tight spaces).

So a while back I caught wind of a new "ceramic" coating system from Turtle Wax - which unlike the more commercial and high-end consumer-grade products was supposed to be really user friendly. My boy, Pan (good French Canadian kid) had some really positive things to say - so I ordered some up off Amazon once it became available in Canuckistan. To my excitement it showed up today (a week early!); what I didn't realize is that the detailing spray came in 1 litre containers which is a hell of a deal. The four bottles were about $100 to my door which is very fair. Looking forward to doing a complete once over on the car in the next day or so.

Here's a couple of videos covering the product line.

Awesome, I have been pissed since became unavailable in Canada. Does this go on plastic and tires like ICE?

I put it on the paint, glass, wheels, and trim. I didn't do the tires as I have dedicated products for that. I've managed to do 3 coats (on two cars) and still have enough in the bottle to do one more coat. If the weather cooperates in the next few days I am going to polish and seal the TBSS - I bet this product really shines (pun intended) on darker colours.

Cool, if it goes on the plastic trim, I'm sold. Turtle Wax Ice was the best all around polish I have used.

Just recommending waxes/polishes-

I've tried a bunch. And I know a lot of times it makes a difference if you can get the stuff or not and price points, etc., etc., but here are two that IMO, the final results are stunning.

I like the Zaino system myself. Once you do the first prep and polish, it's on easy street the rest of the way, and lasts a VERY long time with super-minimal upkeep. Especially if it's kept in the garage. It's like a micro-coating but when done right, the results are very very nice. A tiny bit goes a long way.

Although not a sealer type of coating (save for their ceramic coating as I've never used that), Adam's general line of waxes/polishes is another great group of products I've used in the past with nice results, although it's not designed to last super long. They do use carnauba in their wax. It really comes down to what you like best, though.

I am lazy - hence the sad condition of the wagon up until recently. I prefer my energy to go into building cars, driving cars, and anything to do with cleaning is a far last goal. Clean is clean enough.

I'll see your 4 car garage, and raise another 4!

Unfortunately we are brand limited in Canada. On modern cars with all the plastic trim Turtle Wax Ice or this new Ceramic polish, from what Mike said is much more user friendly. Almost all the other polishes leave white residue on the plastic and don't shine as well as the TW Ice. It even works on rims/tires and doesn't collect dust like tire shine.

PETA and Global Warming fanatics got the Turtle Wax Ice taken off the selves.... 😕
