Could this be TURTLE WAX??!!

The slickness produced by the Shine n’ Seal makes me want to sell my bottle of CMX, DPC Armor, Fast Finish, and Reload; I’ll keep the HCW.
 
Seal N Shine holds a very clear advantage against most spray sealants that I`ve tested in terms of short term chemical resistance. 303 Touchless Sealant is another strong performer as well, easily outperforming HCW, CMX, Cure, Reload, The Last Coat, F11, Armor, and Bead Maker in this type of test. What 303 and Seal N Shine have in common is they`re both heavy products. Touchless Sealant especially, this stuff has been a bit of a nightmare in terms of wipeability and I`ve seen some very heavy streaking. Seal N Shine you can wipe it clean but it`s definitely not designed to be a light topper like Bead Maker or V7, and I`ve seen some reports from guys with darker paints that have seen heavy streaking working on hot surfaces. I also noticed slight streaking when topping my 1 year untopped section of CQUK 3.0 with Seal N Shine, and a slight drop in hydrophobic performance as opposed to CQUK topped with Bead Maker which has been a great duo in the late term.

Companies will make claims with regards to chemical resistance, and Seal N Shine has finally offered what it really looks like to have an oleophobic and hydrophobic chemical resistance to a wide variety of chemicals and solvents. I think it`s a great addition to their lineup and a clear choice for those that want proven visible chemical resistance. HCW, CMX, and SNS have all been great products to work with and test out this year. Different strengths and weaknesses with each product.
 
I`m little confused. Are we talking about 2 products here - Ice Spray Wax/Sealant and Seal N Shine? If so, which was the OP originally talking about? Forgive my denseness but I sorta feel like we switched horses in the middle of the race. Interested in trying whichever one the OP was blown away by at the beginning of this thread. Thanks.

Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine
 
It can streak if you over apply, less is more guys. Be more careful in the sun.

As it holds up to bug spray, it’s already a winner for me. Very visible protection when doing a bug spray pre wash on the front of my car at the moment.

I still like bead maker; it’s literally idiot proof, I can’t make it streak and there is no problem for me on windows either, so as a ‘walk around the car first’ drying aid, it’s better than ‘one panel at a time’ Turtle Wax. I use either depending on time available and the weather.

Glad they’ve hit on a winning formula/ingredient for us OTC folks.

If your findings hold true on my vehicle, SNS will be my go to for LSP until I coat. Chemical resistance is quite an attractive trait for me, I do a non ph-neutral wash twice a month.
 
I have used the ICE Spray Wax (not related to OPs topic) many times and it is very nice. I think I will purchase the SNS now, you all have convinced me. My wife will be pissed at you all when she sees it.

Completely agree with you on the 303 being heavy. Have a jet black suburban and for the first few washes the 303 was an absolute pita. Seemed to tone down after being subjected to rain for a week and it’s much better in streaking. Main thing I noticed was streaking in glass, especially windshield wipers leaving a visible line where they stopped and changed direction. Also the other glass was near impossible to get streak or smudge free. I gave up and waited a few days after initial application and it got better but still not something I’ll use again on a black vehicle.

Don, are you using this over a base layer of protection or as a dedicated lsp? I ask because I am tempted to try over my base of 1000p.

I put Meguiar`s Hybrid CW on the car a month or so ago, I`ve heard that Turtle Wax says that the Seal N Shine is a good topper for a coating, so it should be fine over your 1000p.
 
Must be a good OTC product. Out of stock at our advanced auto parts. Their wax as you dry, I thought, was outstanding. Used it in the past.
 
Yeah, nobody in my area has the product for sale. Nothing on Amazon apart from a projected date. Is this TW product brand-new?

I don`t know when it was released, but yes - a new for 2019 product.
 
This really is an eye opener especially for old buzzards like myself that grew up with Turtle Wax & Simoniz......and hated them! Thank you for pointing it out via the video.
