I don't do much cleaning on any of my cars. I do wash my Cayman and wax it using a random orbit polisher and a foam pad. I only use the Turtle Wax now. I have a black car so this is what I buy but regular can be had. It is used on my bicycle frame too to keep dirt off the bottom for the next hose off. I apply it with the buffer, to make shorten the work. It last up to two car washes. I have yet use their wash and wax in one with Graphene but have heard good things about it.

I've been using the 303 Graphene product for over a year now. Mainly on my Taco to get a feel for the product ease of application, hydro properties, etc. Mostly positive experience but not getting the product to last as long as they predict. Maybe 6 months of hydro properties.
Overall, fine, but nothing overly impressive.

I doscovered that turtle wax polish /was I use gets harden or cure within 24 hours. They suggest not getting it wet for at least that long.

IDK what Turtle Wax is now but I used some a decade ago and then went to polish that car. The stuff was like glue and came off in balls and sheets. I thought for a minute I had waxed the car with Mop'n Glow.

Reason I started this thread was my daily driver was going through a car wash and they offered Graphene for something like $6 extra. How it can stick to the paint with a bunch of other soap/wax/water being applied is beyond me.

Some of their was can be applied wet and designed to go on that way. I haven't try and can't actually fine it locally but Tuttle Wax has a wash and wax but that's is suppose to supplement to keep the shine from the previous polish and wax job.
I am not a big fan of car wash wax. They never seem to do anything |
