Turtle Wax T-221 Wet'n Black Tire Gel Review

Once we get others past the "absurd" notion of treating our tires with product then it is very nice to see an advance from the bad old days of Armor All spinning off your spiffy clean & "conditioned" tires all over the wheels, or worse, the finish of the vehicle.

Turtle Wax "Wet -n- Black" is quite a thick gel that is easy to manage and spreads quite well over a large area so you get better bang for buck.

I am a first time user, this evening, so will have to update post as to longevity, etc. but the initial applications went quite smoothly [two are recommended for vehicles like mine that haven't been detailed recently or to obtain SUPER wet & black...], and thus far it is living up to expectations with nice black shiny "wet" wheels, little trouble with run off or smear over, relative ease of handling [proper purple medical service type gloves are recommended when handling this and all other vehicle detailing chemicals] and no horrid smell or strange color to limit the application - doe anybody remember the Tire Gel with Glitter incorporated ??? spoooky.

Bonus round: this stuff is thick enough that it can easily be used on dark or light rubber molding / trim elements without fear of discoloration... going to try it on some weather stripping next.

Test Vehilce: 2000 Dodge Intrepid ES with the stock 16" five spoke "slotted" aluminum wheels

Thank You

Turtle Wax T-280RA Liquid Chrome Polish - 12 oz. Review

I used this product to shine up the rims and step bars on my ram 1500. It worked fairly decent on the bars, removing some of the rust and made them shine. On the rims however, it did an ok job. The rims are still not very shiny, and there is still rust on one of them. This product only works on rust that is barely there. I would say that you should get it if you want the shine to come back, but if you have a fair amount of rust, this is not the product to use.

Turtle Wax T-375KTR Red Color Magic - 16 oz. Review

Restores my 17 year old paint to bright and shiny. Also matches two very different shades of red flawlessly. I love this stuff so much I bought two of them when I heard they were discontinued. If you don't need the color matching, you might want to try other products first, as the actual wax aspect of the product might not be the best out there. However, if you need to bring back a very tired paint job, I don't think you can do much better.

Turtle Wax T-374KTR Black Color Magic - 16 oz. Review

I have a 1998 Dodge Stratus that I need to sell that had many scratches on the trunk lid from a cat that decided to turn the trunk lid into a sleeping spot. Every time I would approach the car at night, the cat would jump off the car in haste, creating deep scratches from its paws each time it did so. I bought the Turtle Wax product at Auto Zone in hope that it would cover the scratches well enough for me to sell the car. "Looks" is everything when trying to sell a car; believe me! After using the product, I was extremely pleased that it not only covered the deep scratches, but made the car look like new; I almost don't want to sell it now that it looks so good!
The bottle the product comes in has a cut-out in it where a lip stick type of applicator is stored. The lip stick type of applicator holds a lip stick style dispensed hard, colored wax the same color as the liquid wax in the bottle. When you have a deep scratch to cover up, you take the lip stick applicator and rub the hard, colored wax into the scratch using a back and forth motion that is perpendicular to the scratch (so the hard wax gets pounded into the grove in the paint). My scratches were so deep that the gray primer was visible in each one of them. When you've rubbed enough wax in the scratch, there will be some wax left on top of the paint next to the scratch, but some buffing with an old, soft, cotton sock will remove all the hard wax except for what's in the scratch. Although this takes a little time, the result is very rewarding, and seems to give you the motivation to "finish the job". After you have all your scratches filled with the hard wax, you can then use the soft wax in a bottle to gloss over rest of the panel the scratches are on. The soft wax can be put on with another soft, cotton sock (I use old, white socks with holes in them for this). I usually do one panel at a time because this does take some work, and seeing one panel "finished" and looking like new frequently makes me want to keep going until the whole car is done. Like I said earlier, the results are amazing. The only limitation is that there are countless shades and colors of car paint, and you have to get kind of lucky that there is a color and shade available that is exactly the same as your car. For instance my car is a "True" red, but the Turtle wax product is kind of a Purplish red, and didn't exactly match. But...from a distance of about 5 or so feet you can't see the difference, and the car looks so shiny that you can shave in the reflection!
I would highly recommend this product to anyone that wants to either put a high-gloss shine on their favorite car, or anyone that wants to camouflage a scratched up car long enough to get it sold.

Turtle Wax T-5A Carnauba Car Wax Paste - 14 oz. Review

The shine is great. It took some work to buff it off with a towel by hand, but it was worth it.

No turtles are used in the making of Turtle Wax as mentioned in a previous review. That's just ridiculous.

Turtle Wax T-240KT Headlight Lens Restorer Kit Review

Simply put, it does what's it's supposed to. This bad boy turned my almost beyond redemption - yellow crust covered headlights into working headlights again. It didn't turned them into 100% "like new" headlights but it did restore about 90% of their long gone "Like new" look. Which was more than enough to pass with flying colors the rigorous Maryland State inspection, which was basically the reason I purchased this thing in the first place.

Just a word of warning: Grab yourself a low stool or chair to sit down in front of your headlights at a comfortable level and 2 or 3 servings of the cold drink of your choice and Be prepared to spend the most boring hour of your life rubbing this thing until your forearms go numb. Yes, this thing works but it's 50% elbow grease powered. But for 10 bucks and with the included pads, you can't go wrong. Oh, and you'll only spend about 1/4 of the contents on the job (2 headlights). So I'd say this kit lasts enough to restore the headlights in 4 vehicles. 1 more thing: Make sure to have a little bit of car wax at hand before starting the job. You'll need it at the end to seal the finish and it's not included in the kit. (I noticed this just when I was ready to begin and I had to drop everything and make a run to store for some wax) All in all, just for the bang for your buck and the effectiveness of the product, 5 stars.
