Shine and Protection: The product lives up to its promise of delivering an incredible shine. My car looks like it just left the showroom, with a glossy finish that really stands out. The ceramic coating also offers a great layer of protection, repelling water and dirt effectively.
Ease of Use: One of the best parts about this spray is how easy it is to apply. Just a few sprays, a gentle wipe with a microfiber cloth, and you're done. It's a quick way to achieve professional-looking results without much effort.
Durability: I've noticed that the coating lasts quite long. It's been a few weeks and the shine is still as intense, and water still beads up and rolls off the surface. This longevity means I don't have to reapply too often, which is a huge plus.
Value for Money: Considering the quality and the amount of product you get, it's well-priced. You don't need to use a lot each time, so one bottle goes a long way.
Overall Experience: The Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating has exceeded my expectations. It not only makes my car look stunning but also adds a protective layer that lasts. For anyone looking to enhance their vehicle’s appearance with minimal effort, this product is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended for its impressive shine, protection, and ease of use!

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.
