    Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Graphene

    I used this product on 4 different vehicles two times last year and I have to say, I am very impressed. Two of the vehicles are outside all the time and are still beading water well. I found it cheaper to buy direct from Turtle Wax versus a store on elsewhere online.

This same cap goes on many GM vehicles and I guess the venting adds to the price, along with the GM name. The old cap did not have the moisture I see with...
