Turtle Wax Flex Wax - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I applied the Flex Wax in the garage, in the shade, where it is about 65* with a new round microfiber applicator. One spritz per section, breaking up each panel into two (or more) sections (the hood was 8 sections). I massaged the product into the paint with overlapping circular, front to back and up and down motions, then buffed it off with a plush microfiber before it flashed.

As far as application, it spreads well and once the applicator is loaded with product (it took several sections to load up the applicator), I didn`t need to apply very much more Flex Wax to the pad to continue...I may have even used a bit more than recommended. On removal, since it hadn`t flashed and was still damp(ish), there was a SLIGHT bit of grabbiness, but flipping the removal towel eliminated that and IMO, it is MUCH slicker than the Ceramic Spray Sealant in feel. And it`s true ... the longer it sits, the slicker it gets, tomorrow morning it should be incredible. I plan on a second coat tomorrow morning .... UNLESS the wife has more honey-do`s for me. If so, I`ll just wait until Friday when she goes to Virginia to visit her grandmother.

Here are the pics, just remember, this car isn`t perfect. There is some washing/drying, and random love marks and scratches that don`t show up in the pictures...BUT... it IS a 9 year old, daily driver through ALL of Ohio`s seasons, so be gentle.

New for this year. It came out in December. Several You Tube detailers have done videos on the three products in the Hybrid Solution PRO Line. Papa Smurf 918 did a three part video on the compound (One - Done), a pure compound/finishing polish with NO protection (pad dependent on how much cut it has...course pad = heavy cut, fine pad = light finishing). A liquid Graphene wax (To The Max Wax) and the Graphene Flex Wax (Spray Wax that can be used as a base layer - like I just did, a drying aid or as a spray on-rinse off (ON A PREVIOUSLY COATED/WAXED SURFACE). You really need to see what he does with a TRASHED Honda Fit with these three products!

Here are Papa Smurf's Vids:

One and Done Compound

To the Max Wax

Flex Wax

Miranda Detailing does a single video covering all three, it's a long watch, but worth it if you are interested in the new offerings:

Miranda Detailing- Turtle Wax Graphene Trio + Overspray removal

BTW, you might want to skip over the wash and overspray removal - it's a bit dry (boring), fast forward to about 15:20

After waiting 24 hours, I put a second coat of Flex Wax on the Camaro and it`s been about 4 hours since I did that. All I can say is wow, Wow, WOW! When Papa Smurf 918 did his video on it, he kept going on about the gloss and slickness - HE WASN`T KIDDING!

My phone camera can`t pick up the difference between the 1st and 2nd application, but to the naked eye it`s BLATANTLY obvious. Very dark, very black and VERY glossy and slick. And the best part? I used MAYBE 1.5 oz for TWO applications, that`s paint, glass, headlights, tail lights and trim.
