Got it tinted 35% and got some ceramic wax to apply for protection and water sheeting.

highlighted in yellow is what I feel in my seat

I felt this while i was in the passenger seat slouching down a bit to where my back was not directly resting on the back of the back rest. But thankfully i do not feel it in the driver seat.

How does that ceramic wax compare to other spray wax products? I use the Turtle wax spray which is decent.

I have tried so many spray waxes / sealants to the extent that i think i can give you some good experience feedback.

I have tried the P & S Bead Maker , Griots Garage , Adam's Polishes , Turtle wax spray wax and the new turtle wax Seal and Shine. And the turtle wax spray wax was the best wax i have ever used, by ease of application , gloss value and hydrophobic properties. I also believe the Spray Wax is better than their new product the Seal n Shine.

With that all said , the hybrid ceramic wax is on another level. The depth it provides to the color and the gloss is second to none. And it repels water extremely well. The important part of the hybrid ceramic wax is the application. You do not apply it like a regular wax rather you apply it while the car is wet and rinse it off. If you have no protection on your paint (like previous waxes) you first have to lay down a base coat of the ceramic wax by distributing it with a drying towel, and then coming back for a 2nd coat while the car is wet and just rinse it off.

The ceramic wax doesn't last as long as the Turtle Wax , i will tell you that. The ceramic wax lasts for around 2-3 months where as i have experience the Turtle Wax still performing after 4-5 months. However, you use MUCH less product with the ceramic wax , you really do not want to over due it, just 2 light mists per panel is good.

Not the best picture but you guys get the idea. Took less than 10 minutes to install and they were only $20 dollars a pair.

That looks great - in particular in the gray. Well done.

Drove it home...F Sport in Ultra White and black interior. Love the ML system...the 50 mile drive in rush hour traffic was 2 hours of bliss.
