Turbo Wax and myself came together on a little demo/trial of some of their main products. The vehicle was my father's 2007 Trailblazer SS. The paint was not in terrible shape by any means; however, it was in need of more than just a simple once over wax. They sent me pretty much everything I needed to take this paint from "OK" to an absolutely great, deep, slippery finish. This review is in no way, shape, or form just a thread to help boost their reputation, but an unbiased review from someone who details car regularly.

To begin I will show what they sent me, and what my thoughts on the product were.

Car Shampoo-

This was a sign of good things to come. I was floored by the amount of suds and the slipperiness that this product delivered. By far the best soap I have ever used. A+ across the board

I then proceeded, hesitantly to say the least, to use their "Bug and Oxidation Remover Bar"

I wasnt too sure about this thing before using it because of the inability to fold the product over like you do with a clay bar. I decided to only use it on the front of the truck and some real trouble spots behind the rear wheels from VHT/Rubber build up. This stuff would not come out with washing of any kind. The bar took it right off and left NO sign of anything behind, as the pictures show-

I am still not sure if this product was intended as an alternative to clay for the whole vehicle, or for trouble spots as shown above. Turbo Wax can clear this up. For the things I used it on, this product was absolutely great. Again, another A+.

Sidenote- as a lubricant with this bar and the clay that I used, I simply used a bit of Turbo Wax's car shampoo with some water in a spray bottle.

The next set of products used were the orange pad, white pad, and Swirl Remover (used after a rewash, and drying) White pad with the SR was used after the orange pad with SR. They included a bottle of compound as well, but I did not feel the paint was in bad enough shape to warrant that degree of cut-

Here are before and after pics of 2 panels after only the SR and no final wax applied-

As you can see it does a more than adequate job for a polish. These results are typical of a light compounding, but with a much deeper finish than you will get with most compounds. Very impressed with the results, but I have on complaint. The product is quite thick which is fine, but this leads to having to use a little more product than I usually do. This is not necassarily bad in itself, but it leads to ALOT of product having to be removed. I found myself going through more towels in order to remove the product than usual. This is a very minimal problem with the product, and I would still highly recommend this to others. A in my book, just have alot of microfibers on hand

Now that the paint is ready to be finished off I used their Car Wax as the final step. I applied this with a finishing pad of my own, but I am sure they have a pad they can recommend.

Before using the product, I was expecting a deep shine, but expected a little less "hardness," typical of most sealants, such as the Poorboys EX Sealant I have been using. First off, this product is extremely easy to apply, and take off. I used two microfiber towels to remove everthing, and then followed it up with the Turbo Wax microfiber glove. I was VERY impressed with both the exreme depth and OUTRAGEOUS hardness of the paint after this. It is actually a harder finish than my PB sealant.

The best way to describe how the paint felt is this: for those that use regular off the shelp one stage waxes, you can tell the difference in slickness prewax and postwax with a regular terry-cloth towel, pretty slick right? Well, then run a microfiber towel over it, kind of sticks to the paint then, right? Well imagine how slick the paint feels with the terry cloth, but with a microfiber. Kind of hard to describe, but take my word for it, this wax is for real. I obviously can not attest to the durability yet, but I can come report on that later. Definately an A+! Anyways now for the good stuff!

Very nice job

 

thanks man

 

ok next will be the stang. ill drop it off tomorrow haha. but seriously i may have to have you do the stang.

 

Looks flawless man. Good Job!

 

That looks awesome.... I need to invest in the swirl remover because the dealer did a number on my black car.

 

NEVER NEVER NEVER let a dealer wash your car haha.

chandler, you know where i live (hell both houses haha), just let me know and we can set it up!

 

Yeah the highschool kid that tried detialing it real quick. He actually waxed the hood in swirls, i was like... have you ever detailed a black car before? I got the car back and still had extra wax on the hood, had to use a diaper to wipe it down.

Gunna send it to someone who knows what they are doing now to fix it, which won't be cheap.

 

it sure wont be! at least you realize that haha, some of my customers are like "why does it cost so much?" i just slap myself in the face and explain it over and over

 

Looks freakin' great. I've been looking for some new products to try out...

 

I thought those were dual exhaust?

 

id recommend these!

nope

 

Is it really all that difficult to use the swirl remover as long as you have the porter cable? My birthday is Friday and would love to be able to clean my car myself.

 

no its not difficult to use, it just takes alot of towels to get it all off.

 

I have no problem purchasing more microfiber towels, I was more worried about burning the clear.

 

burning the clear is a possibility with anything, thats up to you on how much pressure you use i didnt use hardly any

 

Looks great,but it needs to be taken away from him if he lets it get that nasty again.a brand new car (more or less) looking like that is a crime

 

i will see how funds look by the end of the month and if they look good i will probably leave the car with you for a day or 2 so you can try to get those damned water spots off. im sure you can get atleast most of them off. ill let you know.

 

Looks really good. When my mequires stuff runs out, ill give turbo wax a try. Also, why hide the plates in a couple pics but not the others? lol

 

They need to send me some of their stuff, so I can try it out! Good work as usual Stuie!

 

nah he usually takes pretty good care of it, he has been waiting on me to do this

pretty sure i can, make it 2 days haha

did i miss some? im a ******* sorry. fixed

 

dude come live in AR for 3 months and id like to see how your car looks after 3 weeks. if you work a full time day job you will most likely only be able to wash your car once a month if that. the weather is so random that you could walk out and say im gonna wash my car go inside to get something and it start raining before you get outside.

 

Yeah just one. Its cool, we all have duh duh duh moments

 

Nice write up Hack, truck looks amazing as well. Good work and Im looking forward to an update on the longevity of the wax.

 

you just want to try to do pop-a-wheelies in it. it doesnt do em, ive been trying since i did the 3.73s. i better change the gear oil before i give it to you so that rear end dont blow haha. ive got the break in fluid in there still.
