Turbo Wax Car wax review

Finally got time and good weather today to try out the newest wax from turbo wax. Its a 1 step car wax with polycharger. The added polycharger is supposed to make it last longer and withstander harsher enviroments.

I first gave the car a good wash then towel dried it and drove it into the garage to start waxing.



First thing i noticed is, you really dont have to use much at all when applying it, it really spreads itself out very nicely. Using a microfibre towel to wipe off the wax was extremely easy, much easier then other waxes i have used.

Here is the end result, only took about an hour to do the whole car and the results are awesome!













I highly recommend this wax, the results are amazing and its very easy to use. I will update in a month to let you know how the wax is holding up

Did you do the wax by hand or with a high speed polisher

all by hand, using the yellow applicator foam pad that turbowax sells

My car has some light swirls but with this wax, it hides almost all of them completely

cloudy day today, was the perfect day for wash and waxing so sorry no sunlight pics lol. The background behind the car looks really bright but its really not, its just the camera.

I have other sunlight pics to show the car has barely any swirl marks:

why? that does nothing but show if there's swirls or not, and it's a shitty picture. anyone that knows anything about photography knows that overcast days are ideal for photos, and shooting into the sun is the dumbest thing you can do. like i said, unless you're trying to show swirl marks. and he obviously wasn't, so direct sunlight pics would be worthless.

Got some more photos today, drove the car around, had to do a few things, got some compliments on the car, how shiney it is from people in the parking lot. Ive never had random compliments on it before so deffinately nice to hear lol.

Under direct sunlight and looking at a certain angle, u can see a bit of swirl marks on the hood, barely noticeable. You have to be looking for them to notice, and the camera seems to highlight them even more then in person lol. Either way, the wax isnt designed to remove swirl marks but it still hid them quite well so i am still very happy with the results.
