5.0 out of 5 stars Easy on. Easy off. Amazing shine. Durable. Better than competitors.

Ok, so it isn't truly a hard core ceramic coating with SiO2 content and it is not going to protect your paint for three years (as other brands might claim). I have tried many many formulations over the years. Carnauba is unmatched for deep shine with dark paint but as a natural extract from a tree, is provides only limited durability and water repellency. I have also used Klasse products and Zaino but the application process is more involved and I would not say that the durability is anything to brag about. Mothers CMX is comparable to this Turtle Wax hybrid solutions spray but does leave some annoying little white beads on the paint; one drive down the road and beads are gone so I would say that it is not a problem. This Turtle Wax formulation is pretty impressive. I own four cars ranging from 2011-2023. They are fairly new and so they have modern clear coat paints. For 90% of applications, I would say that this spray will work well. If you work in the shade and wipe it off after a quick flash, it is very easy to use. I apply it every 6-8 months because it usually wears off but the durability is pretty impressive. Protection against bird droppings and acid rain is excellent. I apply it to glass and it leaves none of the white residue associated with other brands. It wipes off dark plastic trim without smears. Super glossy finish on painted surfaces. Easy to use. Very long lasting. Inexpensive. In 2024, it is hard to match for price and value. 5-stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Real world comparison of Ice Seal N Shine, Nu Finish, and Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2020
10 week update: Silver car photo above shows water beading after 10 weeks of application (2 coats) of Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray on a different car. I applied it again today. Very easy to apply. Can apply to black trim.
Nice smell. Nice gloss after application. Will probably stick with this product for paint protection.
4 week update: Second photo is 4 week update after wash and spraying with water. Car has been outside in the rain most of the past 4 weeks. It has rained approximately half of the days. Nu Finish is completely gone. Ice Seal N Shine and Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic are mostly gone. There are a few small areas of water beading for each of these. I would state that all 3 products have failed. Overall very disappointing for all 3 products and not the results that are claimed by the "professional" reviewers of these products. Not sure why the durability was so poor. Perhaps it is because I did not do any prep to the paint other than washing it (no decontamination, no clay bar, etc). But the reality is that most people are not going to professionally prep the paint prior to application. In this situation, perhaps the cheapest and easiest to apply product would win - of these, that is Ice Seal N Shine.
Conclusions:
1) All 3 products did not last more that 4 weeks, this is very disappointing - I may look into other products once I use up my supply of these
2) Nu Finish: Clearly the worst of the 3 products. I think I am done with Nu Finish and won't purchase it again. It is not durable (at least this bottle of it) and it has the major disadvantage of leaving white marks on black trim and rubber - many cars have lots of black trim these days.
3) Seal N Shine: I think this might be the winner. Of the 3 products, it is the easiest to apply, it can be applied to black trim, and is much less expensive compared to Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic.
2) Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic: Has slightly more gloss and slickness compared to Seal N Shine (both are much better than Nu Finish). If this is the most important feature for you, than it could be the best. However for me, it is more expensive and it was slightly harder to apply. I would accept these disadvantages, if it lasted longer, but it did not. Therefore, it loses out to Seal N Shine.

Original Review:
Decided to compare Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray Coating to Nu Finish and Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine. Washed my over 10 year old minivan with Meguiars Gold class car wash shampoo and dried it with a microfiber towel. Did not do any other prep to paint. Applied Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine to the left side of the hood, Nu Finish in the center and Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray Coating on the right side. Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine is easiest to apply. Just spray then rub on with clean microfiber towel and buff with other microfiber towel. Does not streak. Looks and feels glossy. Nu Finish is rubbed on with slightly moist towel, allowed to dry, then buffed off with a clean microfiber towel. This is more time consuming and labor intensive compared to the Seal N Shine - especially for a whole car. Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray Coating is a little more difficult than the Seal N Shine unless you follow the directions closely. The first time I tried it (on a different car), I used too much and towards the end of the application towel because saturated with it. It made some streaks on the paint and trim that I had to buff out with a moist microfiber towel. This issue never happened to me with the Seal N Shine. In terms of the end result, the Seal N Shine and the Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray Coating look the same. They are both glossy and slick. The Nu Finish is slightly less slick and less glossy. I will try to remember to update this based upon durability.
In Summary:
- Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine: very easy to apply, smells OK, can be applied to trim and paint, glossy finish
- Nu Finish: more time consuming to apply (apply, let dry, then buff off), shiny finish (but not as glossy as Seal N Shine and Hybrid Ceramic Spray Coating) has major disadvantage of making white spots on black trim, rubber and plastic.
- Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray Coating: easy to apply (but a little more difficult than Seal N Shine because if you get too much during the application, it will streak), smells nice, can be applied to trim and paint, glossy finish.

4.0 out of 5 stars TW Hybrid Spray is a winner in many categories.
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2022
I've been using this spray ceramic wax for years now and have compared it to many other waxes. It's one of the best for the money. In terms of ease of use,gloss factor,and slickness,this is my top choice. Now,that being said,I do detail my cars quite often. And I've used this ceramic spray as a second coat to the polish ceramic wax. It works great as it was designed to. But in terms of longevity, the Griot's 3 in 1 ceramic spray wins this category. The youtube channel ScottHd has done a extremely thorough testing of over 60 car wax products, lasting over a year. The Griot's 3 in 1 held up to others costing many times more. The Griot's 3 in 1 is $20 dollars for 22 oz. The Turtle Wax hybrid ceramic spray failed quickly! So why do I use the Turtle wax Hybrid ceramic spray? When I lived in San Jose Ca,it didn't rain much. I moved to Florida 6 months ago and it rains all the time here.And the humidity is incredible, you have to visit here to understand. In San Jose,even in the winter when it was much cooler,the Griot's went on as easy as the Turtle wax ceramic spray,and wiped off as easily. But the Griot's will last much longer. Up to 4 times longer. The Turtle wax polish wax and spray combo won't begin to compete in longevity against the Griot's 3 in 1 alone. Which makes the griot's much cheaper. But I don't let months go by in between waxing! And now.I'm having to deal with waterspots! And this is what I've experienced here in Florida. Because of the humidity,the Griot's get's streaky on all three of my cars. The Turtle wax hybrid spray also does,but not as bad. I can buff it out with a microfiber pad attached to my da polisher. The Griot's 3 in 1 is much harder to get out. And it gets "gummy" easily. And this next thing is where the turtle wax beats all the others,Mequiars gold class,ultimate,hi tec yellow,mother's...etc. It's much slicker and the gloss factor takes the winner spot! So it doesn't last nearly as long,but if you wash and polish your car often,at least once a month, this combo wins. The gloss and pop and the dust repelling, can't be beat. I wipe my cars down with an absorber all the time.Which means I don't actually wash my cars that often. I use the TW hybrid ceramic spray as a topper,which works great. The only thing slicker is Xtreme solutions Topper. It's not cheap,it doesn't last longer. It's not a wax. But the gloss is about the same. Nothing beats Topper in terms of slickness. And i've tested many different waxes and detailer sprays. So,the Turtle Wax Hybrid Polish wax and Ceramic Spray combo is one I can recommend. Especially if you live in a humid area and lot's of rain. I've done testing on the water beading patterns of different waxes. This combo produces small,tight, beads,which is less prone to leave deep etching waterspots. It beats the Meguiars and Griot's various waxes they produce. They may last longer,but they produce bigger beads on the hood,top,and trunk lid. And if you don't blow them off before the sun get's to them,you get bad waterspots. Which I then have to buff out with Meguiars Ultimate compound (best and cheapest for waterspots and medium scratches). The little bit of waterspots I do get come out much easier. Sometimes I just have to rub them with a little pressure using just the spray. If not,I use the Tw hybrid polish wax on my da orbital polisher and they'll come out.
