5.0 out of 5 starsWORTH IT!
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2014
This wax is way worth the money and deserves 5 stars for the price, ease of use, and quality/durability. Maybe it isn't the absolute best wax on the market (I have not used many), but of the ones I have used it is extremely easy to apply, remove, and has great longevity. There is virtually no residue, but you can tell the wax is working immediately after buffing. I even used it on my rims and headlights; they have both been easier to clean after applying. I live in Cincinnati and we experience very high amounts of pollen and other air contaminants. I do not have a garage so my car is constantly exposed to the elements. Even living on a busy street with lots of trees and flowers, I can run a microfiber towel over my car every day after waxing (as long as it does not rain) and the dirt wipes away with ease. It looks like a freshly detailed car every morning; I have never gotten that with any other wax. I'm talking five days later, if there is no rain and even with my daily commute, my car looks like the day I detailed it if I give it a once over with a microfiber towel.
Let me say that the wax really does go a long way. You do not need a lot of product. Remember, no matter how much wax you apply, only a certain amount can bond to the clear coat; the rest simply dries up and is wiped away. So do not over use the product or you will be wiping money away. It is designed to be used minimally with maximum bonding and protection of your paint. I have an 04 Infiniti I35, so full a size sedan, and i used about a quarter sized dot over the entire trunk, and about twice that for the entire hood;I had about 3/4 of the bottle left after doing the entire car for the first time. This product really spreads easily, but even with a super thin layer incredible water beading and longevity ensues. I also recommend waiting a bit longer for the wax to dry than the bottle states. I waited 5 mins at first, but after beginning the buffing process realized the wax had a little ways to go before it was fully cured. This will depend on air temp, humidity, and amount of direct sunlight vs shade. I recommend testing a small area after 5 mins, then deciding from there whether it needs more time or not. I ended up waiting about 10 more minutes (so 15 total). If it wipes cleanly and easily without smearing, it is ready, but if smearing occurs wait another 5-10 mins.
The included microfiber towel is large and of good quality. The applicator sponge fits comfortably in your hand and can be rinsed and re used. I used a clay bar and Meguiar's Ultimate Polish before waxing with this product, and recommend you do the same before waxing. Take a full day and do it right; wash, clay, polish, and wax. I am amazed at the way my car looks and now see a completely new spectrum of colors in the paint. I think the color is called Diamond Graphite (only had the car a few months it is a light blueish silver) but either way my car looks every thing from bright silver, to gun metal gray, to a light pearl blue, to a greenish silver. I can not believe the paint is original and 10 years old. The clay bar and polish really brought it back to life, the wax is simply protecting the paint now.... and doing a great job! I will never use another wax again. Highly recommend and be sure to clay and polish before waxing for stunning results.
