Absolutely right, F11 is not a correction product. Get the paint corrected before you add TC. You may not be ready for this but once you have a coat of TC on the car you dont even need water or a bucket. Just spray TC on the car wipe it off and then buff it out. It does not allow the dirt to scratch the paint. It was hard for me to do that. I even started on the roof because I didnt believe it, but after having zero scratches on the roof I did the whole car changing out microfiber towels every so often because of dirt build up in the towel but the surface was not scratched when I was done.

f11 the more you use the more it works better. i am like this guy, i used to do the whole 3 step process, clean wax polish....i am now a disabled veteran with tbi and a lot of issues from combat injury and i dont have all the energy to take a full day to each of my three vehicles for cleaning and waxing. i did my research and i chose f11 over ceramic waxes. f11 is the easiest and fastest for my life and situation. i like the results. the more you apply it the better it gets. works for me and my situation. i have been doing my own car maintenance and waxing since i was 15 and believe me this is the easiest and fastest and best way to get the best results for a beautiful vehicle. i have a 2009 challenger srt8, 2010 jeep grand cherokee and a 2011 ram express. for me this is the best and my vehicles look great and i get thumbs up all the time.

I have the same problem with my rotors rusting right after a wash and have to take the car for a spin to clear the rust off. However it's worse if I use chrome wheels cleaner. That stuff is real acidic. If I were you i would F11 the wheels and then just wash with water. I think you will notice less rust on your rotors. Props to the O's shirt I'm also an O's fan!

Great video! The next step is to not use water at all. Use F11 and microfiber towels to clean, shine and add more layers all in one application. That is safer and better than using water. The only time you would want to use water is if there is obvious heavy debris on the surface such as mud, etc. that you need to remove first. TopCoat F11 is extremely slick where water is not. Put F11 on the rims! Throw away that brush and cleaner. F11 is unaffected by heat and will repel the brake dust and protect the rim.

TopCoat® thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it. However... I will most likely never be comfortable putting a dry cloth/microfiber of any type on my car and start wiping. I just don't have that level of confidence. I would be too afraid that any small even microscopic hard debris rubbed into the car could potentially damage the paint. I really like this product, as you can see by my consistent endorsement on KZfaq. I gave up soap.... I'm not ready to give up water... Lol.
@mikebuckingham54867 жыл бұрын
Still haven't given up the soap yet. No possible way I'm giving up water. That being said, I've put at least 8 coats on my Vette. I've found that after washing, apply one coat and let it sit an hour or so, then polish off the residue. Next day, back in the garage to do it again. Every application is done in the garage. The car looks as if it has had a ceramic coating applied. Super shiny! Excellent product! I completely agree with you, the paint has to be in decent shape before applying. If is is in decent shape, this stuff will definitely save time compared to waxes/polishes, and your paint will look much better than before.

Buy a Master Blaster Sidekick to solve the problem with drips and standing water in the jambs, it will help preserve your sanity. That aside, I don't see how F11 (which I admittedly have *no* experience with, only the hyperbole in their marketing) can replace the need for corrective abrasives which you implied that your Corvette needed in the beginning when you showed all the products you used to use. I also have a problem with using just water and nothing else to wash your car. I would at least put a capful or to two of some kind of waterless/rinseless wash in the bucket for lubricity, even something like CarPro ImmoLube. But to each his own; if you are happy with the results you're getting, that's all that matters. I've seen so much praise for F11 by now that I might buy a bottle to see for myself.

Josh Yount I appreciate your position and comments however I can assure you that F11 is much easier to apply than any other good quality wax. It typically takes me a few hours just to apply and buff wax properly with an orbital machine etc. It literally takes me 30 minutes to apply and buff F11 into the entire car. As I mentioned in the video... This is not the best product in the world but it is very good and very easy to put on. I also don't think $59 is that bad. The 2 bottles it comes with will last me years easily and I have 3 cars..... Lol. Anyway.... Just my personal opinion.... I wish you luck with your car care.

Josh - Yes, you've never tried it! That's what you're missing. It turns a 2-3 hour chore of washing and waxing into no longer than an hour. Most of that time washing/drying the car. I'm done with this stuff in 20 mins or less. I've used Meguiar's products for years. Adam's as well. This works MUCH better! I put 3 coats on my GS Vette over a two day span. It looks like it has had ceramic coating applied. BTW, I bough the 3 bottle package so I wouldn't run out for a while.

The wax you have put on this car so carefully over the years is still there. Like any good detail spray, the Fll is just putting the icing on the cake. I don't think it is worth the money. Get yourself any good detail spray, apply it after you wash the car - takes 15 minutes, and you will get the same performance, without the 3-400% markup I have a professionally done ceramic coated mustang, I know through experience this is so.

A True car guy.. Lol.. goes back for a water spot he saw Hahaha.. I'm the same way bloody way. Did the old lady say anything like, "Are you washing that thing again? You love that car more than you love me!"? I get it all the time from mine, but I'm slowly getting her trained... she'll help me wipe it down after a wash now. Anyways, how's this product working out for you? It looks great, but judging by the type of car guy that you are, your car's never dirty and it looks as though you also live in a nice climate. I live in a rather harsh environment but I don't drive my fast car/s in the winter; I have a beater that I drive the majority of the time. I've used a few products as well and some are quite good, but it's always a rather time consuming effort to get it up to where I'm satisfied but that Nxt 2.0 wax is good stuff. There was another one I used to use as well that was pretty much spray on under any light and wipe off... wasn't bad, forget the name though, but it didn't last very long(weekly application). This looks like a good alternative for a guy to use but I'm sure my paint would have to be corrected and since this car sat outside for about 3 years (hole in the block, building new motor right now), I'll likely need a good paint correction and something to eliminate a few scratches that occurred while sitting :( I did buy brand new rims for it though, and was going to get a guy to apply a coating to them for protection, however, he doesn't seem too keen on doing it anyways... I'm wondering if this is a better investment since I could use it on the entire car after a correction. Wheels always get so filthy, especially on the inside of the barrel and I don't even like that.... literally have to remove the wheel to clean it.. would like to avoid this if possible. Maybe TopCoat is the answer? What's with ppl saying it's garbage? It looks to me that car guys who take care of their rides actually get show quality results with little effort due to their high maintenance of the finish in the past. I saw another video of a guy applying it to his oxidized truck and it did virtually nothing (needs correction obviously)... and carnauba made it shine up nice, but carnauba is a bitch to apply, mainly because of so many plastics on cars that can get that white crap on them and you can virtually never get it off once it's there... so I stay away from it now for the most part. There seems to be a lot of naysayers on this product though.... not sure what to think to be honest. I'm getting too old, and I have a screwed up back from work, to spend half to a full day of detailing a car anymore so something like this would make my life a lot easier. Thanks for the review

Check out my channel. I wasnt a fan after 6 weeks. No good and would definitly not recommend. Im all about full ceramic coatings however if you can not do that I would highly recommend Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray. Very Good and 75% cheaper than F11

4 coats to get those results? We put F11 up against our spray in product and F11 failed in a month! The spray product I use literally lasted 5 months and that was with one wet coat! (Wet coat means I used it to dry car off with for those who don't know) After 5 months, I finally washed the vehicle. I went to a cheap car wash, spray soap (which it don't dispense much anyways, rinsed it, and BOOM! Shiny all day long again! F11 is a joke! Another decent product is The Last Coat. It's cheaper and way better than F11. They (F11) took everyone's wallets with the way they marketed it.

Con Engels I accidentally deleted your comment: I am very interested in using F11. Can you please tell me if when you first applied Top Coat F11, what did you do to remove any previous waxes or coatings? Did you wash multiple times with soad to remove old waxes or coatings? Did you use a Clay Bar to remove previous waxes before applying F11 for the first time? Thank you in advance! Reply: Because it had been about a year from my last wax application...I didn't do anything other than wash it several times with Adams Car Wash Soap. If you have a fresh application of wax...you can use a mild dish soap to remove from your car. Just make sure all the water spots or paint imperfections are corrected prior to F11 application. Then you will great results! Good Luck!

B Dizzle this video is 3 years old. I’ve posted updated videos on my channel. I thinks it’s over priced and didn’t last. Needed to constantly re apply and way too expensive. Do some research on KZfaq with the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions ceramic spray. It’s like $12 and provides better results due to actual silicone dioxide properties....which is ceramic coating. Obviously Full Ceramic Coating is the best which is what I have moved on to. A couple years ago.

Who told you not to use soap? Who ever told you they are full of it bro. I’m a professional Detailer and been Detailing for 21 years and I’ve never heard of not putting soap on your car when u wash it. Anyways go ahead and use soap to give that paint a high gloss and protection it needs. Have questions check my fb page Jay’s Mobile Detailing
