The blue looks oversaturated. Is it really that extreme?
top picture I did use the edit function on the iPhone, in the bottom picture I just took the picture as is without the edit button. USB color is definitely electric and has a glowing hue in bright sunlight.
Here is a close-up of the hood in my garage and the wax is about four days old. I just got back from 140 mile round-trip and I don’t even see dust on the hood. You can see the texture on the ceiling in the reflection on the hood.
Yep been using it since I got my car new. Great consumer product. apply it often enough (every six months) and for all intents and purposes, it acts similarly to a real ceramic job. I'd even say superior since there's a false sense of security with ceramic and you're letting it sit for two years whereas with this turtle spray (at least with me) I apply it every 2-3 months or so to refresh it since it's so easy and fast.
I use Mother's waterless car wash spray as a topper. after trying everything under the sun, i refuse to use anything else. a close second is Chemical Guys hybrid V7. but man the mother's is so so so good. zero streaking. zero staining. super easy to use.
OP did you use two coats? 24 hours between each? i did that, including on all the glass. when it rains and I'm using my wipers, i give the windshield extra coatings.
Looks like a great product. As for spray on coatings I personally think they ALL suck if you spend hours or days doing paint correction protect it properly.
That's all I've done, for the last 2 years, since I had it originally done, take it in for the annual inspection: Takes about an hour, they hand wash it, and apply some type of top coating, and it looks just like new each time.
For maintenance, I just buy the touchless car wash weekly, and dry it with a Milwaukee Electric Blower, and then dry up the few drips with an edgeless microfiber cloth when I get home.
The most maintenance free, great looking vehicle routine ever, IMO.

I did apply two coats but I did not wait 24 hours between coats. The directions on the bottle just say to apply two coats, nothing about 24 hours. however I have seen on other products they recommend waiting 24 hours but I waited maybe eight hours. My car is garage cap and I work from home so there’s a chance I might get eight months out of one coat but if your car sits outside in the elements every day I wouldn’t expect the 12 months they advertise.
I guess the question would be what do they mean by 12 months of protection. There is no doubt in my mind that stuff helps keep the car cleaner longer. As far as protection goes, who knows but I'm applying it monthly or thereabout.
Maybe they revised it to appear less difficult so more customers buy it. My bottle says to let cure for 24 hours between applications. i'll try to grab a photo later.
this is from amazon's website. does yours say this?

All the youtube videos show after 6 mos (one even a year) the beading action is still present and decently strong. but yeah i apply every 2 months or so anyway. sometimes 3.
