Default Turbo Wax Review

I recently got some samples of this product from Juan. I was very impressed by the packaging of the product it came with very easy to read instructions and even a tip card to help me get the best results from the product.
Before I review the product I would like to thank Juan for his patience while I went through a loss of someone close to me.
I have been detailing my cars for over 20 years many of which have been show quality and during this time I have been through many products and I have seen many come and go. Most of them never deliver on their promises of quality.
Step one was washing the car with their car wash. Very good product and very mild removed all the dirt and left a good surface to start with.
Step two was I used the pre wax cleaner which left a nice smooth un-waxed surface.(Note I pre clayed the car the day before.)Left a very nice base to start with.
Step three. The wax very nice and very easy to use synthetic product. One thing that was different to me was that it recommended it sit on the car for 15 minutes. I actually had it on ½ hour. I then removed it. Here is where I was SHOCKED it had a very deep rich looking shine that I never see from synthetic polishes. I have used the best carnauba waxes and I can honestly say this products stands up with the best of them and for synthetic that is amazing. I also noticed no white marks on rear bumper appliqué and rubber molding which was greatly appreciated.
Step four I used the spray detailer to really clean it up and add luster to the paint. I would say I am more than impressed this kills my current product I was using which was Tropi-Care. After I was done to test the surface I used a piece of plastic wrap on the surface to check it for gloss. The darn thing never did cling LOL
I next did the wheels. There tire gel is one of only 2 I know of that do not spit when you roll. However you must make sure you put a very good coat the tires; however once you do it really is very durable.
Step five I used their 3 amigos products everywhere and I mean everywhere. What was great about it was easy to use and non greasy to the touch and I used it on my leather steering wheel without any problems and it did all the rubber and vinyl nicely. I usually need 2 products to handle this. Very versatile and I am impressed.

In summary this is a great line of products that I recommend to any who want to detail and show their car and wants very simple and easy to use products. I am going to order more for the next show season.

Pics to follow

well like juan said . here in pr we had two weeks of rain and i didnt wash my box
for twoo weeks . that way testing how good the product would hold.
for my surprise ones i wash my box it came extly like it did two weeks ago
when i detail it.
btw im using the hole line of products.

if i take picks it would came out the same as the ones before

the clay bar it was so easy that it shoulb be banned
the shampoo took out so many dirt that i didnt belive it
the pre wax it so easy to put and take out
thepaint protector you leave it 15 minutes and it like nothing you ever used
and the 3 amigos men that prduct its like magic
every one that has a scion knows that the interior get white with your shoe
or what ever you do to it.
once i put it on it came back to life without the grease felling
you pass a clean rag and thats it.
i will keep post how well turbo wax hold here.

I'd love some samples too - I just loaded up on new detailing supplies, so I can't justify buying all-new stuff.
I would like to try anything you can possibly send, sample-wise.
