I just used both the black polish and the seal and shine wax. Wow. So glad I read up on this particular forum. Polished and waxed all the Honda's in the sig block. All look great. Used Dr. Colorchecks first, boy, that stuff worked wonders.

*Let's not confuse "Jesus Power Lock" with "Reverend Bead" (HaHa !!)
Well said ^^^^^

This will depend on the state of the current paint job on the car plus how it was applied etc. Someone with a high end vehicle may want the depth. For a daily driver especially one in white or silver, it doesn't really matter.
TW told me that they prefer their TWSNS to be the last step in the process, which goes against what I would have thought. A sealant I would think and as you said above, should be applied first to well prepped paint. Then you can follow up with a wax. Now the TW does have wax in their sealant so I don't know if that's why or not.
I'll likely do one more detail on both cars before winter and I'd like to add a layer of wax on top of the TW.
Just because it says Seal on the label doesn't mean it is a true sealant. The automobile detailing industry has been playing very loose with the word sealant among other terms as well.

Have any of you ever seen a shiny turtle? Case closed.
Friend of mine who has used everything from Meguiares to Ziano finally tried this stuff at my incessant pestering. It is now his favorite product (this is the kind of guy who spends 12 hours detailing his STi and girlfriend's XV). I remain impressed by it, having myself tried a bunch of stuff. It even replaces RainX for the windshield and does a better job.

Do you think TW SNS would be able to handle this NJ's winter snow?

So the TW you apply to a dry car and wipe off with a towel while the Meguiar's you apply to a wet car, spray off with a hose (after initial application) and then dry the water off. Are there advantages for either of these techniques? I've only used the Meguiar's maybe 3 or 4 times and will run out soon. Thinking of trying the TW. Even if you dry the car first, there are always some places water hides and will drip out on the paint while wiping. Is this a problem if the towel get wet while applying the TW?
^ I haven't used the Meguiar's product so I'm not sure how they compare. As far as the TW goes, I dried the car as much as possible using an electric leaf blower. As you said, you get that occasional drip of water. It's not a problem with the TW.

Having used both, I liked the Turtle Wax far far better. And no, the water doesn't hurt it as long as it isn't excessive

Picked up a bottle at Walmart for $10. Guess they raised the price. Does this stuff replace conventional wax after you clay and polish?
Does anyone know if there is a cure time? The only reference I found was in the OP? I just washed and put a coat of TW SnS on my truck today and parked it under the carport since it looks like rain the next day or two. I was thinking of putting another coat on tomorrow since my wife usually gets the carport and the truck will be back out in the elements.

24 hours before a 2nd coat.

Thank you I was planning on doing that and I'm not being argumentative but is that stated anywhere? I'm honestly curious

just finished the last of my bottle today on my kids hyundai. i love these new sprays. i was able to wash and apply the sealant in an hour. i can spray it all over the vehicle and not worry about getting stuff on the plastic trim anymore . TW beading is just great.
