Ok! If you read my last couple of posts, I had some issues with hazing using a heavy carnauba based product. I had this hazing with Meguiar's full synthetic, as well, so I switched to the TW hybrid ceramic wet wax, but I haven't really been using it correctly. I've been spraying it dry and then wiping off, so I was getting some streaking. The streaking is workable with a light spritz of distilled water (hence, "wet wax") and wiped with a microfiber towel. I bet I could dilute the solution with some distilled water, as well.



Regardless, the results of the ceramic spray are fantastic; lots of gloss, lots of protection. I really like this coating. Once I'm done with this bottle I will probably get the standard spray or maybe the jet black spray.

Due to the hazing issue, I needed to maintain the light [consumer] ceramic coating with a light cleaner to minimize hazing. For regular maintenance, I have been experimenting with Meguiar's hybrid ceramic detailer. Great product, but this was also creating a stubborn haze (just on the hood), due to heat buildup. Grrrrr.



Anyway, back to Turtle Wax, I decided to try a super simple and neutral cleaner to keep the hood from hazing. I think I may have found it in the TW Clean & Shine Total Exterior Detailer spray. GREAT PRODUCT!! I've used it for a couple weeks now and no hazing. The solution is very light, so it does the trick without adding much product on top of the existing ceramic coating. The result is a perfect amount of lubrication to pick up light dirt and dusting from the smooth paint.



I have more experimenting to do with the TW ceramic detailer, but for now, this is working GREAT!! It just doesn't smell as nice as the ceramic line!!
