Default Anyone Tried Maxl "surface finish"

Anyone Tried this product? Their Facebook post had hundreds of good comments, don't know if they delete the bad ones, so posting here. Looks like a good product, and out of a small business in rowlett, tx.

I have been using Turtle Wax Ceramic Wax the last few years. It is easy to apply and lasts quite awhile and is great for windows.

In that video they were spraying and wiping on a pretty dirty truck. I don't think I would do that. At least clean it good before a lot of wiping during the the waxing process.

I just tried the Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic wax and detailer products after doing a complete paint correction on the wife's 2014 Charger. It's too early to tell how long it will last, but I'm impressed with the easy on, easy off, gloss level, and extremely slick surface. It gets good ratings. I think it looks pretty dang good for an almost 13 year old car with 120k+ miles on it.

Received my Maxl this evening and tried it on my wife’s maroon metallic car…not all that impressed with it..I sprayed a little spot on the hood to start…rubbed it in then went to polish out but it seemed to get really smeared easily and had a greasy look…I went throw 2 clothes and still had a smeared look…maybe I’m doing something wrong but it doesn’t come off as easily as stated..not sure it was a good 30 bucks well spent..just my 2 cents on this stuff ..maybe someone else will have better luck..

I like to use Klass products on my vehicles. I had trouble with the sealant glaze coming off as you describe. Did some research and found a suggestion to do a final wipe down with Maguires M34 Mirror Glaze final inspection. It might help.

I have used it on my mustang and truck looks impressive to me. You need to put on with micro fiber and follow up with another micro fiber towel. The water really does just sheen off. I like it but also like the chemical guys ceramic detailed as well both equal.

I found Klasse mentioned as a Zaino alternative maybe 20 years ago. Tried it, and wasn't particularly impressed.

I'm reserving judgment on the Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic products until I see how long they last, but as for ease of application, ease of buffing, and shine, I'm sold. It can be used on all surfaces, and leaves no white residue in cracks and crevices.
